Chapter 169: Heterophyte Lake

"Boss, the results of the test are in. Please search ()!The fastest updated novel Chinese actually have such a good technology, this number jΓΉ is really beautiful. ”

Ick, the assistant of EDITION, held a stack of test reports in his hand, although the performance of the lithium battery had an impression in the previous on-site trial, but when EDITION got a comprehensive and formal test report, he still couldn't believe it.

The No. 5 battery has a volume of up to 1800mA, the charging time is 80% of that of a nickel-metal hydride battery of the same amount, and the cycle charge life starts at 300 times - it is not possible to conclude how many times it can be charged.

But just such a paper number has exploded the performance of nickel-metal hydride batteries in the field of mobile electronics.

NiMH batteries of similar capacity do not mention the biggest short-board memory effect, and the maximum number of cycles in charge life alone is only 300 times.

But on the other hand, 300 times is just the beginning of lithium batteries.

For this reason alone, the advantage of nickel-metal hydride batteries in the market will inevitably disappear.

The advantage of rechargeable batteries lies in their economy of recycling, and in the case of little difference in performance or even more advantages, nickel-metal hydride batteries will be defeated by the all-round offensive of water lithium batteries.

"Lithium-ion battery technology, it's unbelievable......"

Although he has long known the advantages of lithium-ion batteries over traditional batteries in principle, when there are really molded products in front of him, when the performance number can be put on the market, Addison still shook his head again and again.

"Is the company's opinion on the agency negotiation ready?"

Addison asked as he put the full count aside.

"The engineering accounting team has completed the production cost budget of lithium battery, and the production cost of each lithium battery rechargeable battery should be 23.8 US dollars according to the price calculation of the production line that we have prepared to put into production. ”

"In other words, our agent price is likely to be around $30 a battery?"

EDITION is very conservative in its estimates, and in fact if the agency fee is $30 and the production cost is $23.8, the producer's profit is likely to be squeezed to $4 to $5 per piece.

One-sixth to one-seventh of the profits, which is a new high-tech revolutionary performance battery.

There is almost no profit left.

But of course, the cost of expanding production capacity in the later stage of TongguΓ² will definitely be able to drop significantly, and it is very possible to reduce it to a position of about 10 US dollars.

But even so, it only made a profit of 50% of the selling price.

With such a profit composition, it is really embarrassing to say that it is an excess profit.

"No, according to the business negotiation team's projections, the Chinese could offer between $40 and $45. ”

"But this leaves us with ...... profit margins"

Addison didn't finish his sentence.

But it's clear that he's very stressed about the price.

The Motorola mobile phone, also known as the Big Brother, sells for $3,995, with at least a three-digit fraction of the price paid for the battery system.

The reason is simple.

The Motorola DynaTAC uses nickel-metal hydride batteries until the second-generation DynaTAC9000 in 1989, and before that, this product uses nickel-cadmium batteries!

The nickel-cadmium battery used in the DynaTAC8000 to maintain ten hours of standby time and half an hour of talk time weighs 450g, which not only contains heavy metal cadmium but also has a strict memory effect, and there are heat dissipation problems when used for a long time.

It's just such a bunch of shortcomings, DynaTAC's 450g nickel-cadmium battery is only 35h of power.

However, if you use lithium water, according to the calculation of 45 US dollars per battery of 1800mA, 12 lithium water batteries, that is, 540 US dollars, is enough to achieve the storage capacity of nickel-cadmium batteries.

This is not counting the advantages of lithium water battery without memory effect and charge and discharge times.

That is, as long as the Chinese bid does not exceed $80.

It will not exceed the cost of nickel-cadmium batteries.

The price of $45 is actually quite impressive.

However, as the so-called people's hearts are insufficient, Motorola, which is actually clear about water lithium battery technology, is well aware of the manufacturing cost of this thing.

But $23.8 for something, this is still a product produced by my highly automated production line in the United States, the Chinese take the original production technology, probably the price is higher, right?

No matter what the cost is, the thought of Chinese can earn 50 runs at the factory price.

Addison always felt a little unwilling.

How good it would be if we made this money ourselves, damn Chinese liars!

Assistant Ike shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Fortunately, we are the general agent in the United States, and if the selling price is less than 100 US dollars, the acceptance of the market will be relatively high." After all, this kind of water lithium battery is much better than the products on the market now in terms of power and cost. ”

"Hmm. ”

Although unwillingly.

But Addison could only barely swallow this breath, and vowed in his heart that he must develop the third generation of water lithium battery technology before the Chinese!

…… Lu Yinglong was a little incredulous, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Mao, I heard you right, you mean that we quote $25 a piece?"

"That's right, it's $25. ”

Mao Qingzhu nodded in response.

"But but, but our production cost is not even 20 yuan!"

Lu Yinglong may not understand business and economics, but he participated in the debugging of the water lithium battery production line throughout the process.

What exactly is the cost, no one in the United States knows better than him now.

The automation process of the water lithium battery production line of the Xinke factory is very high, and Hu Wenhai used the remaining funds of the billion-dollar signing fee to order it in the United States, which is definitely the level of the early 80s in the United States.

The raw materials for the production of lithium batteries are specially allocated by the General Logistics Department, and the funds used by the state to repay Hu Wenhai for the purchase of the F-14 are gone.

In the first year's capital pool of 2.2 billion yuan, Hu Wenhai has worked hard, and he hasn't even spent 100 million yuan until now.

In order to repay the debt, the Air Force is now desperately searching everywhere for various raw materials for lithium batteries.

As for other R&D funds, manpower compensation, and factory maintenance and operation costs...... The cost of this part is almost negligible in China compared to the production line and principle.

At a price of $25 per piece, two-thirds of the agency price has turned into a profit!

"Such a high price, can Motorola agree? ”

Lu Yinglong was a little worried, and those who did learning in this era may not necessarily be simple.

But if Hu Wenhai, the future father-in-law, was really smart, he wouldn't have worked for decades and would still be a lecturer.

Originally, it was more than enough to evaluate an associate professor according to his qualifications and grades, but it was this problem that would not come to the end, and he is still wandering around the lecturer class.

Mao Qingzhu was confident, and said without worry: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, I have done a survey on the rechargeable battery market in the past few days, and the results are really shocking! If it weren't for Mr. Hu's personal instructions to conquer Motorola with an absolute cost advantage, my water lithium battery would have no problem selling to $50!"

"That's not ......"

Lu Yinglong was so shocked that he couldn't even count the numbers, and counted them on his fingers for a long time before muttering: "Seven times the profit?"

"But isn't it? Not to mention seven times, if I were to do this business, I would have to sell it ten times the profit! The country is still a little conservative, and finally has the opportunity to slaughter the Americans......

Mao Qingzhu complained twice, but he still closed his mouth after thinking about it.

In any case, as a Chinese, he still has a big picture.

Of course, it can be done by selling lithium water at a high price, but in this way, the number of ways to hook up with Motorola in the future will not be easy to use.

The great stride back now is precisely for the great stride forward in the future.

But you can't let Motorola be so cheap, how can you recoup some losses in other aspects?

Mao Qingzhu held his chin in his hand and gradually fell into deep thought.

…… It was still the same conference room in the World Trade Tower, and the members of the delegations of the two sides of the new branch and Motorola had not even changed.

Mao Qingzhu sat first on the left, and Ling Xiao sat next to him.

On the other side, Addison sat first and Ike sat second.

After the negotiations, Motorola decided that the technical department would be in charge.

But of course, it is not EDITION alone who can make decisions in the negotiations, the entire negotiation team is not only composed of personnel from the technical department, but also multiple departments such as the commercial department, the engineering department and the legal department, and the final result must be made collectively by the representatives of these departments.

"My opinion is that it is best to persuade the Chinese to put all patents related to lithium battery into the new agency, which is the safest in terms of law!"

Little Edgar is holding a few people from the Ministry of Commerce below at this time, as long as the people in the Ministry of Commerce are persuaded to pay more for the establishment of a water lithium battery agency company, in order to let the Chinese come up with more water lithium battery patents into the new company.

Only when the new company has enough patents will DuPont enter the rechargeable battery market without worry.

However, no matter what little Edgar and the rest of the negotiation delegation were muttering below, Mao Qingzhu opened his mouth first on the bright side.

"In fact, we have a mention, in order for the new company to have a good start, the president of our new technology company specially gave this agency a name. ”

"Ell, is Mr. Enhaihu, the inventor of lithium water battery technology?"

Curious about the legendary genius, Mr. Addison wanted to hear what he had named the company they were working with.

"Well, yes. ”

Mao Qingzhu nodded, and then said, "I don't know what Mr. Addison thinks, what does the name of Yizhuhu Company think?"
