Chapter 130: Hurry Up
Island country, chemical laboratory of a well-known company.
Engineer Kawagoe Taka is instructing students to do the second phase of the trial of lithium battery commercialization.
Takashi Kawagoe, an expert on lithium batteries in the island nation, started from the research results of Nobel laureate Goodenough, he used lithium cobalt oxide as a cathode according to the latter's theoretical model, and finally replaced the reactive lithium in the anode last month with a carbon-based material such as petroleum coke.
This means that the safety of lithium batteries is solved, just imagine, this battery in the field of consumer electronics will inevitably be a bamboo, will become one of the most popular products in the global battery market, and will embark on a unique lithium battery commercial road.
As a result, they signed a strategic contract with electronics giant Sony in an attempt to share the huge benefits of lithium-ion battery commercialization.
No, now they are doing the second phase of the test, trying to find a standard type test for the battery commercial, so as to save production costs.
At this time, Matsushima Yuyu, who was also wearing a white coat, hurriedly ran in, and after he came in, he saw that the brothers and sisters were seriously doing experiments, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing them.
He walked quickly to Kawagoe Eagle and stopped, and whispered to him, "Teacher, it's not good, someone has taken the lead in our product." With that, he handed him a fax copy of the Wall Street Daily News.
Kawagoe Eagle took the newspaper and looked at it, and the bold headline made him feel particularly dazzling - "Spy: Nanfu Battery Research Institute - Lithium Aluminum Hydroxide Battery was Born", and there was a small subtitle - mass production is just around the corner.
Kawagoe Takashi hurriedly left them and returned to his office alone, eagerly taking out the fax and reading it carefully.
Fortunately, the anode material is different.
What is even more dazzling is the technical indicators of lithium aluminum hydroxide batteries: working temperature -5~70 degrees, battery capacity 0.65Ah, energy density of 140Wยทh/kg, and charging and discharging life of 3300 times.
He gasped, what they have preliminarily determined now is the 18650 cylindrical battery, the battery capacity of 1000-1300 mAh is indeed better than the 0.65Ah for the other party, but the lifespan is only about 2200 times.
Now the life of this product is a short board, and it seems that it must be strengthened.
These two batteries have their own advantages, and it seems that it is unrealistic to want to get a piece of the pie, but it is a spy report, indicating that there is still time.
After quickly sorting out the materials, Kawagoe Taka hurriedly left the office.
He needed to meet the owner of Sony, so he drove for several hours to Sony.
"Your Excellency Kawagoe, why did you remember to come to me today when you were free?" Ichiro Hamasaki, chairman of Sony Corporation, was shocked when he saw the secretary bring him in.
In his impression, this person is not out of the gate all day long, and he only knows how to devote himself to research and experiments, is it because of insufficient funds?
No, after signing the contract, he transferred 500 million island coins to his laboratory according to the contract, and it was spent so quickly?
"Your Excellency Hamasaki, please take a look at this information. Kawagoe Takashi said as he walked over to Ichiro Hamasaki's desk and solemnly placed the fax on his boss's desk, before meticulously sitting down on the chair opposite.
Ichiro Hamasaki took a closer look and gasped, but he didn't panic, after all, he had experienced so many years of ups and downs.
The only thing he is not sure about is where the lithium aluminum hydroxide battery called Nanfu Battery Research Institute has come now.
He picked up the phone and asked his subordinates who were far away in the United States: "Do you know the Nanfu Battery Research Institute?"
"I don't know!" replied nonchalantly Mika Neil, who was now sorting out a business document in his office, not paying much attention.
"Wait, I know that Nanfu battery is very famous in the United States. When Mika Neil heard the word Nanfu, he couldn't help but think of his Geely razor, that thing electric model doesn't have a Nanfu battery.
Don't say it, it's pretty easy to use.
"Many business circles, sports celebrities, and celebrities here in the United States are using it. I'll give you one next time, so it's easy to use. Facing the big boss, Mika Neil felt that it was necessary for him to know that after all, good things had to be shared.
"Also, I know that there are also island countries, and the last time I went to the company for a meeting, I saw it when I went to the supermarket!" Mika Neil listened to the sound of heavy gasping on the other end of the phone, and did not speak, thinking that Ichiro Hamasaki wanted to buy it, so he told him the address.
Ichiro Hamasaki got the news he wanted, and he didn't want to continue listening to Mika Neil's ramblings, so he hung up the phone directly.
"It seems that we can't underestimate the enemy too much, people are also prepared, it seems that their energy is not small, and they actually sold their goods to our island country!" Hamasaki Ichiro said to himself.
When Kawagoe Taka heard this, he thought about the Geely razor he was using, which was very economical and much easier to use than Sony.
"What do we do next?" he decided to listen to the owner's opinion.
"Don't panic, just go as planned. We can only seize the opportunity by being one step ahead!" Hamasaki Ichiro felt that he was in control of the victory, and the distance to mass production in the factory was only to optimize the specifications, maybe that Nanfu was just a laboratory product.
What business needs most is blowing, and what it is most afraid of is blowing.
"Your Excellency Kawagoe, you hurry up and optimize the specifications, I urge them to complete all the preparations for factory production as soon as possible, we will mass produce at the end of May, time is running out!"
Ichiro Hamasaki originally planned to leave Kawagoe Takashi for tea and discuss other issues with lithium batteries by the way.
"Your Excellency Kawagoe, we're done talking, and it's the first time you've come to me, and I'm inviting you to taste my treasured tea. โ
They came to the tea room and enjoyed the tea ceremony performance, and Hamasaki Ichiro said casually: "I am very optimistic about the Chinese market and lithium battery technology. For this reason, I did not hesitate to abandon the directors' proposal to make a huge order for 100,000 CD players for the United States Company, and the value of the profit was more than half of the company's total capital.
As you know, we haven't fully recovered from last year's financial crisis, so it's normal for them to have that desire.
But why should I give up? If I don't give up, I won't have the rich money to invest in the production of lithium batteries that you developed. It's my all-or-nothing gamble, and don't let me down!
Your Excellency Kawagoe, when necessary, we will jointly hold a product launch conference to give this rice company a little color. Do you think it's better to set it for May 15?"
"Nani, it won't be long before your factory is ready, and maybe we can release our first product on 5.1 - the real thing!" said Kawagoe Taka said, now it is completely ready to enter production, and the reason why production has not been delayed is not that you want to maximize profits.
"Now that all the computational models are complete, they just need to be validated in the lab. The work can take as fast as three to five days and as slow as ten days and a half months. The rest is factory trial production, which depends entirely on the hardware and software facilities of your factory. Kawagoe Takashi took a sip of fragrant tea and quickly added.
"Alright, hurry up!" Hamasaki Ichiro got his own answer and decided to give the eviction order.
