Chapter 51: Crazy Lithium Battery
Four days later, representatives of Microsoft, Google, Dell, Samsung, Imagination, Guowei and Damai seven domestic and foreign mobile phone and notebook manufacturers gathered in Qianwan City, and they were invited by Shensi Technology.
In order to keep it secret, Jiang Yuan did not tell them the reason, only said that there was a huge technological breakthrough and invited them to negotiate.
These seven are carefully selected by Jiang Yuan, and they all have mobile phones and laptops for the high-end market, and if they are given enough ammunition, they may pose a huge threat to Apple.
Microsoft and the three domestic manufacturers are all CEOs of the company, which is also the result of Jiang Yuan's emphasis on Li Qingyu's requirements.
Jiang Yuan's original words were: Tell them that if they don't want to miss this change, the manufacturer's representatives had better have the right to decide whether to cooperate on the spot.
As Jiang Yuan launched revolutionary products one after another, the seven companies attached great importance to this invitation.
Unfortunately, even so, in addition to Microsoft and domestic manufacturers, the other three foreign manufacturers still only sent vice presidents in charge of commerce.
If they missed this opportunity because they couldn't make a decision on the spot because of authorization issues, Jiang Yuan could only say sorry.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, representatives of seven manufacturers gathered in the large conference room of Shensi Energy, and after a period of intrigue and conversation, they found that the other party really did not know the purpose of the trip, so they quieted down.
The representatives of the seven manufacturers are very shrewd, and seeing that this meeting is not about Shensi Technology but about Shensi Energy, and then combined with the products of several manufacturers, everyone has a vague guess.
Could it be a huge breakthrough in battery technology?
But why didn't Apple come?
Google's vice president was the quickest to respond, immediately going out and making phone calls, asking for some authorization from headquarters.
Samsung's vice president is a little disdainful, Samsung already has the world's leading lithium battery factory, he knows the difficulty, and he doesn't believe that Shensi Energy can make excellent products.
In any case, Shensi Energy is just a rising star, or even just a company that stays on paper.
Dell's vice president was a little hesitant to do so.
It's a pity that it's too late for him to regret it, as soon as the vice president of Google hung up the phone, Jiang Yuan walked in quickly with Li Qingyu.
He was dressed in a crisp casual suit, with a gray T-shirt on the top, a pair of blue slacks on the bottom, and a pair of white sneakers on his feet, which contrasted sharply with the crowd in suits and leather shoes.
To be honest, this kind of dress is a bit rude on such an occasion, but Jiang Yuan thinks that he is a R&D person first, and then the chairman of the company, so he came.
R&D personnel!
I'm comfortable, who cares about you?
I have to say that as Jiang Yuan becomes more and more successful, his ideas are slowly changing.
Jiang Yuan hugged Nadella warmly when he entered the door, and then said with a smile:
"Welcome again, Mr. Nadella!"
Nadella is also very satisfied with the previous cooperation with Shensi Technology, except for the interest-free loan agreement for the sea city that is a cheating father.
With the help of the 'app conversion tool', Microsoft has now regained its foothold on the mobile platform, which happened during his time as CEO, and the negotiations he led were naturally counted as his achievements. This will be of great significance to his continued role as CEO of Microsoft in the future and to receive the performance rewards set by the Board of Directors.
Therefore, Nadella was full of kindness towards Jiang Yuan, and he responded with a smile:
"I'm looking forward to your new masterpiece. ”
Jiang Yuan laughed:
"Rest assured, you won't be disappointed!"
Jiang Yuan let go of Nadella, held Rebus's hand again, and said with a smile:
"You'll soon find out that the Barley phone will far outperform the competition!"
Rebus glanced at Mr. Yu of Guowei before saying:
"Haha, if you hadn't invited Mr. Yu, I might have been a little more confident. ”
"Hahaha!"
Soon, Jiang Yuan had a brief exchange with the representatives of various manufacturers, and then sat down in the middle of the conference table and said amazingly:
"I have completed a huge breakthrough in the research of lithium batteries, and the specific energy of new lithium batteries has reached 4 times that of ordinary lithium batteries! That is to say, now the same weight and size of lithium batteries, Shensi Energy's new lithium batteries, 3 times more power than ordinary lithium batteries!"
As soon as the words fell, the conference room was filled with exclamations.
“OMG!”
"It can't be!"
"It's amazing, can Mr. Jiang demonstrate it!"
"It's not April Fool's Day, is it?"
"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Jiang Yuan pressed his hands weakly, and when everyone was quiet, he smiled and said:
"As you can see after the demo meeting, now our job is to talk about cooperation. ”
After speaking, Jiang Yuan signaled to Li Qingyu, and Li Qingyu continued:
"Due to the limited production capacity of new lithium batteries, we can provide 100,000 mobile phone batteries and 50,000 laptop batteries within a month, and the production capacity will be increased to 500,000 mobile phone batteries and 150,000 laptop batteries in three months, and the new new lithium battery factory can be put into operation after half a year, and the production capacity will be increased by about 5-10 times. ”
"Therefore, our main goal today is to allocate the production capacity of 1.8 million mobile phone batteries and 600,000 laptop batteries within six months. ”
Is it such a small amount?
Everyone frowned, which means that it can only provide the high-end market within six months, and it cannot be popularized.
Considering Apple's absence, the purpose of Shensi Energy is very clear, which is to snipe Apple in the high-end market.
Everyone was a little strange for a while, didn't they hear anything dirty about the two companies?
However, this is none of their business, and the fewer people who share this good deed, the better.
Nadella first asked:
"What about the price?"
This is also a matter of concern to everyone.
"A cell phone battery is $20 a piece, and a laptop battery is $40 a piece. ”
Well, it's really not cheap.
It is basically twice as expensive as the battery price of the iPhone X and macbook pro.
But considering the quadruple capacity, this price is not unacceptable.
Anyway, users in the high-end market are not very sensitive to price, and they care more about the experience.
Think about it, if your mobile phone plays King Pesticide for 3 hours and the battery runs out, someone else's can play for 12 hours?
How do you feel?
The mood of the crowd was high, but Samsung's vice president Park Jeongsheng seemed to be very unhappy and said:
"Mr. Jiang, can you demonstrate it first, in case the new lithium battery does not meet the indicators you boast, won't our negotiations be meaningless?"
Before Li Qingyu could speak, Jiang Yuan spoke:
"If Mr. Park is worried, he can not participate in the bidding. ”
Park was immediately dumbfounded, and the others ignored him and continued to ask for technical details.
Everyone is a successful businessman, and naturally understands the truth that if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, anyway, now let's talk about it, if the demonstration for a while can't reach the level that Jiang Yuan boasts, they just don't sign the contract.
"What about battery life?"
"Charge and discharge 800 times. ”
"What about charging time?"
"50% charge in 30 minutes and full charge in 120 minutes. ”
"How many batteries are there and when will they arrive?"
"The first batch of batteries were all mobile phone batteries, a total of 50,000 pieces, and they left the factory seven days later. ”
After answering the questions for ten minutes, the crowd gradually fell silent.
The three foreign manufacturers who have not been authorized by the company can't help but be a little anxious, this is very likely to be the beginning of another great change!
They even feel that if other lithium battery companies do not catch up in time, Shensi Energy's new lithium battery will likely lead to a new industry reshuffle.
Not only in the lithium battery industry, but also in mobile phones, laptops, cameras, drones, electric vehicles, and so on.
Li Qingyu saw that everyone basically had no doubts, so she smiled and said:
"Then we start bidding, one pack for every 10,000 batteries, starting at $200,000 a pack for mobile phones and $400,000 a pack for laptop batteries!"
In addition, Shensi Energy will refer to the share of this bid and allocate the share after 6 months. For example, if Microsoft wins 10% of the mobile phone battery share this time, 6 months later, as long as Microsoft is willing to buy, under the same conditions, Shensi Energy will give priority to ensuring that Microsoft's share reaches at least 10%. Of course, if one day in the future, the production capacity is not limited, this will naturally be invalid. Okay, do you have any comments?"
WTF!
Of course we have an opinion!
A pack of 10,000 batteries, you can figure it out!
We're all CEOs and VPs of tech giants, and we're bidding for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Moreover, you actually bind the current share to the future share, which is too dark!
As for waiting until the production capacity is not limited before buying?
The devil believes it!
Needless to say, the production of this new type of lithium battery must be strictly confidential, which means that it will not be rolled out for a long time.
It is unlikely that production capacity will be fully sufficient for at least three years.
Three years!
In three years, someone else's phone will have 4 times the battery of your phone, and that's still a joke!
The competition in this industry is so fierce, it will go out of business in three years, right?
It's so dark!
The seven manufacturers couldn't help but look at each other.
