Chapter 217: OEM
"The dawn of new energy!"
"A new era is about to dawn on the horizon!"
"Will battery energy replace petroleum resources?"
"A new technology from China - water lithium battery!"
"With breakthroughs in key technologies, how far is humanity from high-performance batteries?"
It turns out that the media all over the world are the same, not shy about stirring up the emotions of their readers with the most alarmist headlines. A Chinese master the most advanced level of science and technology from beginning to end, and the technology that may have a profound impact on human society, such technology is certainly worthy of special mention.
For Motorola, however, this is like rubbing salt in a wound.
Three generations of water lithium battery, although this technology is secretly invested by Motorola, but that is only for the Chinese and the Heterolake company.
A public company like Motorola has countless people watching its every move. Its huge investment in third-generation water lithium battery technology cannot hide from many well-informed investors.
Before the news media began to speculate, the stock market reacted as early as the day after Ling Xiao's paper was published in the Journal of Applied Electrochemistry.
Small-scale sell-offs are starting to occur, but thanks to Motorola's relatively good performance, such disruptions are still within its tolerance range.
However, when more and more people knew that the third generation of water lithium battery technology had made a key breakthrough, Motorola's stock price suddenly began to fall. If it weren't for the fact that this paper was signed by the Yizhuhu Laboratory, and Motorola still owns 50% of the company's shares, Motorola's stock price would have begun to plunge off the cliff.
It is conservatively estimated that Motorola has invested more than 200 million yuan in the development of water lithium battery technology, and it is expected to invest as much as 500 million US dollars.
It's not a question of how much money a company loses, it's a major setback to the company's grand strategy. For quite some time, it is inevitable that investors will expect a downward revision.
Of course, Hu Wenhai's plan did not want Motorola to lose too much blood at this stage. So the sample of the magazine was sent to Addison in advance.
But even so, Motorola can still be called badly hit.
So much so that Rose, the new president of Motorola, had to personally come forward to express his request for a meeting with Hu Wenhai.
However, this experience of touching a great white shark is not only a surprise to Motorola.
As a leader in the U.S. chemical industry, DuPont has also secretly invested considerable funds in the research of third-generation water lithium battery technology. Hu Wenhai's stick. Not only stunned Motorola, but also disrupted DuPont's footsteps.
As soon as news came out of the market, DuPont realized a hint of danger. It is nothing for the DuPont consortium to throw away an investment, and this kind of large consortium throws away a lot of money every year because of scientific research competitions. But the promoter of the leading entry into the water lithium battery market, Hunter DuPont, may not have a good time.
Hunter Dupont gritted his teeth and glared angrily at little Edgar: "You mean to say that the management of the Alien Lake Company didn't know anything about such a big thing?"
Little Edgar's face was a little ugly. It seemed that a 10,000-ton hydraulic press was pressing his head, and he nodded unwillingly.
"This technology is certainly not developed by the laboratory of the Hezhuhu company, and my internal sources indicate that it is likely that the Chinese published their technology by Xiaoling." ”
"Are you kidding me?" Hunter Dupont shook his head with a look of disbelief: "Are you saying that the Chinese take the technology that can be monopolized by themselves to the joint venture to publish, and the Chinese Hu is Captain America?"
"I don't know why!" Little Edgar almost grabbed his hair, puzzled: "But that's what the Chinese did!"
"Now the question is. DuPont's ion permeability membrane technology hasn't made much progress — it's impossible to make much progress in the lab at that time. No technology at hand. How are we going to take a stake in Yizhu Lake?"
"I thought I could try, although the situation is not promising. Little Edgar's face was gloomy.
"It depends on whether DuPont can afford the price, as long as the interest is large enough, it may not be impossible to move the Chinese to give us the shares of Yizhuhu." ”
"What's in it?" Hunter DuPont is in dire need of a lifesaver now, otherwise he will likely be refrigerated by the family in the event of such an investment mistake.
Little Edgar exhaled in a deep voice: "According to the information I have received. This Chinese Hu Wenhai and the new technology company are likely to be the forces of the Chinese military. Perhaps, we can start with that. ”
……
Leaving aside the conspiracy of Edgar Jr. and Hunter Dupont, the theoretical performance of the three generations of water lithium battery has finally attracted widespread attention in society after media hype.
And not only Motorola. More businesses are also curious about this technology.
The hype of technology is nothing new in the United States.
A technology often has to go through multiple cycles from concept to maturity, starting from the stage results, blowing a bubble to attract investment, bursting the bubble technology investment into the trough, and then waiting for the next technological breakthrough......
Obviously, the theoretical research on ion permeability membrane of the third generation of water lithium battery has been completed, which is very in line with the definition of phased results. One advantage is that such a key technological achievement can draw a big pie.
If you are lucky, maybe you don't have to go through multiple cycles, and the technology of three generations of water lithium battery will be born so smoothly?
Therefore, not only Motorola, but also companies related to batteries, chemicals, energy, and even mobile consumer electronics in society are eyeing Yizhuhu Company.
Winning the third generation of lithium water battery may be able to establish the hegemony of a certain enterprise in the next few decades?
There are many companies that think like this, and there are many companies that dare to take action.
"The fab in Austin will soon be able to resume working as interns, and Motorola will do its best to provide the best learning environment for Chinese students. ”
Rose, the new president of Motorola, said categorically with a serious face: "For the relevant responsible persons who hinder the cooperation between ST and Motorola, we at Motorola will deal with it seriously and give Mr. Hu a satisfactory answer." ”
"Well, in fact, we have been in contact with Texas Instruments recently, so we don't need to bother Motorola anymore. ”
Hu Wenhai is not a lie, Deyi has recently considered joining the anti-IBM proposal, and it is just this opportunity that Xinke and Deyi are linked.
"We have a contract!" Ross was distressed: "According to the requirements of the contract, we Motorola strongly request to continue to provide training services for the Chinese side!"
"But Motorola didn't execute the contract before......"
"It was all a misunderstanding, and Motorola promised that nothing like this would happen again. "Ross's assurances are crisp and unequivocal.
Hu Wenhai smiled, this chip was originally to knock Motorola. Now that the other party has succumbed, there is no need to go on so-for-tat. Motorola will continue to be an important partner of Xinke in the future, and it is important to maintain a good face.
"Well, my opinion is that we should sign a supplementary agreement to regulate the recurrence of this 'misunderstanding' between our two sides. ”
"Of course, that's as it should be. Rose's expression is not very good-looking, and it is conceivable that this agreement must be a unilateral binding on Motorola, full of unequal treaties.
However, this is the result of the alliance under the city, who made Motorola ask for it now?
In addition, on the issue of the third generation of lithium water batteries, Motorola hopes to carry out more in-depth cooperation with ST in this regard. Ross did not twist, and did not feel ashamed of his words at all: "Motorola wants to know what level of research has been made by ST in the research of the third generation of water lithium battery technology?"
No one will believe that Hu Wenhai's paper is all the achievements of the three generations of water lithium batteries mastered by Xinke, and how many "goods" the Chinese have in their hands is now the information that everyone wants to know.
Ross was so straight to the point, he didn't expect Hu Wenhai to answer, he just threw a stone and asked for directions.
Hu Wenhai glanced at Ross and smiled slightly.
In fact, ST is already working on the production technology of ion permeable membranes. Once the industrial production of ion permeable membranes is realized, the time for the third generation of lithium water batteries to be put into the market is not far away. ”
Rose secretly swallowed his spit, he didn't expect the Chinese to have gone so far. In this way, it is really unknowable whether Motorola will win the scientific research competition.
But of course, this may also be the Chinese's suspicion. What are the facts, it is impossible for Ross to believe you just because Hu Wenhai opened his mouth and said it, right?
Being able to climb to the position of president of Motorola, Ross certainly knows what to believe and what not to believe.
"I have a proposal that Motorola and ST are partners with a deep friendship, so why can't we take this cooperation one step further?"
"Motorola can help ST realize the production technology of ion permeable membranes, and let us join forces to get the world's battery market in our hands, which will be a win-win situation!"
"Actually, I have a better way to work together. ”
Hu Wenhai pondered for a while, and then said: "In the cooperation of a generation of water lithium battery, Motorola should note that the production cost of Xinke is very low. The selling price of the lithium battery we produce is even lower than the cost price of Motorola. In China, where wages and raw material prices are cheaper than in the U.S., I wondered, since we're 'partners with deep friendships,' why not extend this cooperation to other areas — for example, foundries?"
