Chapter 511: Financing Proposals

Hearing this, Rourka's face showed a look of tears and laughter. He never expected that Jiang Chen would notice his booth for this reason.

“…… Please. ”

Hearing Rourka's honest answer, Jiang Chen's expression was a little strange. Although he expected that the company's financial situation should not be very good, he did not expect that they were already so poor.

"Electric cars? I don't think your cars seem to be anything special compared to other electric cars. ”

Seeing Jiang Chen talking about his product, Rourka immediately came to his senses.

"No, Mr. Jiang Chen, you didn't understand the uniqueness of our products. By using wireless charging technology, we have eliminated the wiring port of the charging car. In this way, the car owner only needs to park the car in the designated charging space to complete the charging. ”

"In other words, if you are compared to a mobile phone manufacturer, your advantage over other mobile phones is only that you don't need a data cable to charge?" Jiang Chen teased.

Although he does not have an in-depth understanding of the automobile production industry, he still knows something about pure electric vehicles. There is no other reason, because the last days are basically electric vehicles, and it is a historical inevitability that fossil fuel vehicles will be eliminated, just like the steam cars that burned coal in the first place.

The technical difficulties in the development of modern pure electric vehicles mainly lie in the two aspects of endurance and charging time.

Let's start with battery life. Under ideal conditions, it would be difficult for a pure electric vehicle to achieve a range of 300 kilometers at a constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Such a short range. It will undoubtedly bring great inconvenience to car owners, which is also the main reason for restricting the promotion of pure electric vehicles.

There is also the issue of charging time. In general, the charging time of a pure electric vehicle is between 7-8 hours. At present, the widely used lithium iron carbonate battery has a fast charging mode of half an hour full charge. However, the impact of high-power charging on battery life is quite serious, especially the heat generation should not be underestimated. But when you're on the highway, you can't spend seven or eight hours waiting for the battery to be fully charged.

For many acute children, half an hour of refueling time is already very grinding.

However, the Rourka car company has clearly deviated from the technology tree, and it has not made any achievements in the above two technical difficulties, but has focused on the development of wireless charging technology. To say that it sounds good is to be far-sighted, and to say that it is difficult to hear is to learn to run without learning to walk.

But that's exactly why. The concept car launched by their company attracted Jiang Chen's attention. Because the car charging stations over there in the last days happen to use wireless charging technology. The car owner only needs to drive the car to the designated parking space, and log in to the mobile electronic device or on-board computer with personal information to start the charging service.

Convenient. It is the advantage of wireless charging.

Hearing Jiang Chen's teasing, an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Rourka's face.

"And I don't know if you take into account the energy loss. I don't know much about cars, but as far as mobile phones are concerned, as far as I know, with wireless charging technology now. Ideally, the energy loss is also 30%. "See the look on Rourka's face. Jiang Chen smiled and continued.

Hearing Jiang Chen's proud work of belittling his company like this, Lu Ka was not happy and retorted.

"That being said, our company's on-board lithium battery can reduce the charging time to 15 minutes! ”

A quarter of an hour?

This is an amazing ability, Jiang Chen looked at Rourka with some surprise.

"Oh? How did you do that. ”

Regarding Jiang Chen's question, Rourka was silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Chen had a little bit of a bottom in his heart. Don't speak. This means that his solution is either not very technical, or it will not be very difficult to implement. If it is difficult to imitate. He couldn't keep quiet.

"Mr. Rourka, if you are not willing to satisfy me even this curiosity, how can you expect me to willingly pay for your product?" Jiang Chen said softly.

"Will you invest in us?" said a look of surprise flashed across Rourka's face.

"If your product can pique my interest. Jiang Chen said in an indifferent tone.

The expression on Rourka's face struggled for a moment, but finally he sighed and spoke.

"Well, to be honest, although we registered 12 patents for this car, for the most critical creative aspect, the patent office sent back our patent file. The reason for the rejection is simple, you can't patent such a trivial thing as a series lithium battery...... Well, by this point, you should already get the idea. ”

Seeing the abrupt expression on Jiang Chen's face, Rourka stretched out his hand helplessly.

"That's right, I have to say, your solution is ...... Be creative. Jiang Chen said embarrassedly.

Yes, he already understood the solution of Rourka, which is to connect many lithium batteries in series and then connect a charging module to the base of each battery. Because of the wireless charging technology, the charging base station can easily charge N lithium batteries connected in series in the car body at the same time. This does shorten the charging time, but the disadvantage is also obvious to the point that people can't complain.

“…… But I don't know if you've considered the cost? And the size of the battery, and each battery is equipped with a charging module. Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.

Speaking of this question, a touch of pride appeared on Rourka's face, "This has to mention the KS-12 integrated battery designed by our company, which is almost the core of our entire vehicle technology! It is composed of 8 independent lithium battery cells, with a total storage capacity of up to 40 kWh and a range of more than 180 kilometers!"

This data is very average compared to the pure electric vehicles currently on the market, but the two advantages of wireless charging and fast charging can add a lot of points to it.

But there is one most crucial issue that Rourka does not mention, and that is cost.

"What about the cost?" Jiang Chen repeated the most critical question.

Rourka's expression became embarrassed again, and his eyes glanced to the side.

"Of course, cost is an issue, but our technicians have come up with improvements and if we can get an investment, we are confident that we can cut costs within a reasonable range. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's face showed a playful expression.

Typically, electric vehicles are twice as expensive as gasoline-powered vehicles of the same performance. Judging by Rourka's expression, the price-performance ratio of this car is only a little pitiful.

"Can I ask about the price of this car?"

After hesitating for a moment, Rourka replied truthfully, "If it is mass-produced, the cost will be about 700,000 US dollars." ”

"How many people do you think will pay for your car?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Rourka smiled bitterly, "Mr. Jiang Chen, if you have been talking to me for so long to ridicule me, your purpose has been achieved. ”

"Then you are destined to be disappointed, I am not trying to mock you, but to your company...... Or maybe you're interested in technology," after a pause, Jiang Chen smiled and handed over the business card in his hand, "So, are you interested in a $100 million financing proposal?" )
