ATL (Amperex Technology Limited), New Energy Technology. He was the first three people to found Liang Shaokang, Chen Tanghua, and Zeng Yuqun to create a company that manufactures polymer pouch lithium batteries. Their original source of technology was the purchase of a patent for a polymer lithium battery from Bell Labs. However, this patent has a fatal flaw, that is, after a period of use, it will expand due to the decomposition of the internal material and release gas, resulting in the risk of explosion of the battery, which cannot be used. At that time, more than two dozen institutions received this patent from Bell Labs. However, this fatal flaw is only solved by ATL, which is not a first-class level of technical strength. There is a certain amount of chance in this, but most of their subsequent development has relied on independent research and development to achieve future achievements.

In 2005, Japan's TDK Corporation acquired ATL at a price of 100 million US dollars, and it has been three years now, and in the past three years, the development of ATL has also made great progress. At least with orders for battery cells for apples and husks, there is not much shortage of money.

Zhou Shi returned to China and went directly to Shenzhen. Although the first generation of Guoke mobile phones has been affected by Apple's second-generation mobile phones, after the price reduction of $50, the monthly sales volume has reached about 500,000 units. With the reference of Apple's second generation, as well as Google's Android for in-depth cooperation and improvement, Guoke's second-generation mobile phone has embarked on a development path of learning from improvements.

In this life, Jobs still mocked Android for plagiarizing IOS, but at least he didn't say that Andy Rubin imitated him. And Android has a lot of improvements compared to IOS, which everyone can see. As for Android, which combines the best of the two, there is no mobile phone support yet, and everyone doesn't know how the performance is, so forget it.

"Why do you want to invest in ATL, although the battery is important, but for smartphones, there are many more important things. Feng Xing has his own opinion on Zhou Shi's request.

"ATL's battery technology is very advanced, and even if it's an investment, it's a good project, not to mention that I have other considerations. "Zhou Shi

"What considerations?" Feng Xing

"It has nothing to do with the husk, it's a different level. If the country wants to develop a new energy industry, electric vehicles and the like will have great development prospects. Batteries are one of the cores of the new energy industry. "Zhou Shike has never said anything like the ecological chain, and at this time, he will not say that those who make mobile phones will also make air conditioners. So for the development of ATL, Zhou Shi did not pull it the shell mobile phone.

"That said, it seems to be true. Is the husk an auxiliary this time?" Feng Xing

"That's right, if you can buy it, forget it, if you can't buy it, you can buy shares, Guoke and Galaxy Capital are both shares. "Zhou Shi

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it later. Feng Xing also knew what Zhou Shi wanted to do, and no one could restrict him.

"Arrange for me to communicate with Zeng Yuqun from ATL and have something to communicate with him. "Zhou Shi

"Okay, no problem. "Zhou Shi personally came forward, Feng Xing's responsibility was much smaller, Rubinstein and Li Yinan joined the Guoke board of directors, so that his rights were more restricted, at least if something went wrong, someone would point it out.

As a major customer of ATL and a world-renowned brand, it is not very difficult to meet the CEO of the supporting manufacturer. Zhou Shi soon met Zeng Yuqun, and in order to show his sincerity, he came to Dongguan on purpose.

"Hello!" Zhou Shi stepped forward

"Hello!" Zeng Yuqun didn't know Zhou Shi, and when he saw such a young person, he was full of doubts about this meeting.

"I am the founder of Guoke, and the founder of Time Friends, the largest social networking company in China, if it is not clear, then I am the founder of Bagua Tianxiang. "Zhou Shi

"Gossip celestial phenomena?" Zeng Yuqun had heard of this name

"Bagua Celestial Phenomena is the first scientific research institution in the world to accurately predict earthquakes, and we have made great contributions to the 512 earthquake. Chen Wen explained

"Oh, you're the big data research institution. "Zeng Yuqun

"Bagua Celestial Phenomena is just a non-profit organization that uses big data to study various complex geological and climatic phenomena. As for big data, it belongs to the for-profit organization Time Lab. "Zhou Shi

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Zeng Yuqun

"It seems that Mr. Zeng has not used our friend network much, and our service is not in place, and it can't attract elites like Mr. Zeng. ”

"Where, I've always used Friends.com and MM, but I don't know much about Time Company. "Zeng Yuqun

"Just use the friend network, just like you don't have to see a hen when you eat eggs"

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou is so humorous!" Zeng Yuqun

"I used to call me SImon, but I'm not a boss now. "Zhou Shi

"Oh, why is this ......," Zeng Yuqun

"Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. "Zhou Shi

"That's refreshing. "Zeng Yuqun

"The speed of development of the shell is beyond our imagination. It also gives us greater confidence in the development of smartphones. Therefore, our major shareholder, Galaxy Capital, will invest in the entire value chain. In terms of batteries, we are very interested in ATL's technical strength, and Galaxy Capital intends to acquire or take a stake in ATL. "Zhou Shi

"We are a wholly owned subsidiary of TDK, and I can't be the owner. Zeng Yuqun didn't think about it, and subconsciously shirked it. Zhou Shi's age is still a problem, and the next time you should let the negotiator know Zhou Shi's bull break. Make his argument more convincing.

"But we know that Zeng was always the founder of the company, which was acquired by TDK in 2005. ”

"Yes, after the acquisition by TDK, we have grown even faster. "Zeng Yuqun

"But correspondingly, your interests have been squeezed. "Zhou Shi

"There are gains and losses, this is the inevitable result. "Zeng Yuqun

"After we acquire or buy shares, we will promote ATL's equity incentives, even if we can't hold all shares, we can also achieve management shareholding. "Zhou Shi

Hearing this, Zeng Yuqun's heart moved.

"Mr. Zeng, ATL is a Japanese-funded enterprise after all. Zhou Shi paused, and then said, "I am very interested in new energy electric vehicles, and I think the field of power batteries can be a new battlefield for Ningde." Huaxia also needs such a technology leader. "Zhou Shi

"Power battery?" In this field, Zeng Yuqun and they have secretly set up a project. The power battery industry has just begun, and the traditional battery giants have considerable advantages. For example, Panasonic, LG, Samsung SDI, and even BYD are giants in this regard.

"We joined ATL because we want Huaxia to have a commendable battery giant, and I believe that ATL, which adheres to the technological development route, will become a worldwide battery giant in the future. I hope that this enterprise can belong to Huaxia, at least partially. "Zhou Shi

"Even if I agree, I'm afraid TDK won't agree, and they are optimistic about the development of ATL. "Zeng Yuqun

"If your management doesn't object, it's time for us to show our sincerity, without a certain strength, it's not good for us to talk about serving the country with industry!" Zhou Shi

"I look forward to working with you. "Zeng Yuqun

Thanks to XJZ001 and Wu Haibin 2015 for the monthly pass
