Chapter 567: There was already a way out
"Zhang Gong, what are you going to do next?"
After making a preliminary judgment on Zhang Daiwei's vision and knowledge, Qin Hai asked straightforwardly.
"What's next?" Zhang Daiwei smiled helplessly, "What does Mr. Qin mean?" ā
"Your speech today has offended you Mr. Wang, after returning to the Beidian Group, the leaders will definitely give you small shoes to wear, don't you have any consideration for this?" Qin Hai said.
Zhang Daiwei said: "Then what else can I do?" I was ready when I said this, they were going to give me little shoes, and I wore them, and they couldn't fire me, right? ā
"You're not going to jump out?" Qin Hai asked nakedly.
An imperceptible look of strangeness flashed across Zhang Daiwei's face, and he asked quietly, "What, does Mr. Qin want to give me anything?" ā
"Are you interested in coming to Anhe Materials College? It's okay to be transferred, it's okay to resign, I don't dare to promise you too much, a senior worker treatment is completely satisfied. Qin Hai said.
"What am I going to do at Anhe Institute of Materials?" Zhang Daiwei asked again.
"Engage in the development of materials related to new energy vehicles. I know that you are not a professional in new energy materials, there are specialized talents and teams here in the School of Materials, what I need is a person who understands the development trend of new energy vehicles, and can provide directional guidance for our research work. "Qin Haidao.
"I didn't bother to ask you just now, how could your Daqin Group think of setting up a materials college?" Zhang Daiwei finally raised the question he had all along.
Qin Hai did not hide it, and introduced all the development status of the School of Materials to Zhang Daiwei from his initial idea of running a School of Materials to the School of Materials. Zhang Daiwei only felt the strength of the School of Materials from the achievements published by the scholars of the School of Materials, and when he heard Qin Hai say this, he knew that what he knew was just a drop in the bucket, and the achievements of the Anhe Institute of Materials were enough for him to look up to.
"Mr. Qin. You're amazing! Zhang Daiwei praised sincerely.
"It's not me who is amazing, it's our scholars who are amazing." Qin Hai smiled and expressed his modesty, and then said, "How about it, our temple can still accommodate your great god." ā
"Mr. Qin, don't say that, it's really embarrassing." Zhang Daiwei waved his hand again and again. "Compared with your experts, I am just a primary school student, how dare I let Mr. Qin be called a great god."
"The issue of new energy vehicles you mentioned at the meeting today is also what we have been studying in the School of Materials. However, most of our experts are from the material background, not familiar with the car, and urgently need people from the automotive industry to join, Zhang Gong is not interested in working together? Qin Hai sent out an invitation again.
Zhang Daiwei was silent for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Qin invited me so sincerely. It's also inconvenient for me to hide anything from Mr. Qin. In fact, I dared to argue with our Mr. Wang at this meeting, one is because I am worried about the development direction of the national automobile industry, and the other is because I have long wanted to leave Beidian Group. ā
"What, you've got a place to go?" Qin Hai asked.
"It's still talking." Zhang Daiwei said, "The Hongyuan Provincial Government wants to engage in its own automobile industry under the banner of its own brand, and I have a few friends who plan to go there." I was also invited, but the specific conditions are still being discussed. ā
"I see." Qin Hai smiled. It seems that this Zhang Daiwei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, before offending his leader, he still thought of a way out, or rather, because he had a way out, so he was fearless.
Zhang Daiwei seemed to see what Qin Hai was thinking. He hurriedly explained: "Mr. Qin, don't get me wrong, these two things are one yard and one yard, and I want to leave because the internal mechanism of the Beidian Group is too old." There is no room for innovation, and I still want to do something worthwhile. Today's speech is completely based on my view on the automobile industry, I think there is no need for China to compete with foreign countries in high-end fuel cars, it is better to use limited financial, material and human resources on new energy vehicles. ā
"So, do you plan to engage in new energy vehicles in Hongyuan Province?" Qin Hai asked.
Zhang Daiwei said: "Originally, there were considerations in this regard, but Hongyuan Province hopes to see results as much as possible, so I hope we can come up with a Volkswagen model and put it into production within two years." As for the new energy aspect, we need to wait for us to make achievements and have the right to speak in the province. After all, the domestic new energy technology is still very weak, and it is not realistic to expect Hongyuan Province to come up with a lot of funds to support new energy vehicles. ā
"Hmm......" Qin Hai nodded slightly, and was about to say something more, when the waiter had already brought all the drinks and dishes they ordered, one of which was a plate of steaming beer duck that made people feel appetizing at a glance, and the other dishes were also quite distinctive. Qin Hai simply took back what he wanted to say first, pointed to the plate with a smile and said, "Come on, Zhang Gong, eat while it's hot, you're a little hungry, right?" ā
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Zhang Daiwei thanked him and picked up the chopsticks.
The two of them ate for a while, drank a few beers, and felt a little more familiar with each other. Zhang Daiwei said with emotion: "Mr. Qin, if our leaders are half as open-minded and easy-going as you, I won't think about leaving." After all, the Beidian Group is a large enterprise, much larger than the stall that has just started in Hongyuan Province. To be honest, in Beidian Group, if there is a little pressure from the higher departments to urge the leaders to take action, the foundation for new energy vehicles is much better. On the Hongyuan side of the province, it will take five or eight years to build the market, and this delay has opened up the gap with foreign countries. ā
"If we provide part of the funds to set up a joint venture new energy vehicle company with you, do you think Hongyuan Province will agree?" Qin Hai asked.
"You guys? Daqin Group intends to make new energy vehicles? Zhang Daiwei asked in surprise.
Qin Haidao: "We originally had a vague idea, but after talking to you, I also have some interest in new energy vehicles." Can you help me evaluate how much money is needed to use the platform of your upcoming automobile company to do the pre-development of new energy vehicles? ā
"It's not a good idea." Zhang Daiwei frowned and said, "The main technical obstacle of new energy vehicles is in the battery, the current domestic research on lithium batteries is still unsatisfactory, to catch up with the level of Japan, I don't know how much to invest......"
"You don't have to worry about that." Qin Hai said with a smile, "The lithium battery technology developed by our Institute of Materials will be mass-produced immediately, and because of the use of materials that are different from Japan, the safety of our lithium batteries will be far better than that of Japanese products." ā
"What you said is true?" Zhang Daiwei only felt that his eyes lit up, "You mean, you have already started to do this work a long time ago?" ā
"Of course, we're a materials group." Qin Hai said proudly, "The application of lithium batteries is not only limited to cars, but also can be used in mobile phones, handheld devices, electric bicycles, etc., this is a very huge market, how can we sit idly by?" ā
"And what about the cost?" Zhang Daiwei thought of another question.
"With the same capacity, the cost is more than one-third lower than that of the Japanese." Qin Hai replied.
"How is this possible!" Zhang Daiwei almost shouted, as a person who pays attention to new energy vehicle technology, he knows that Japanese companies have been using lithium batteries to manufacture new energy verification vehicles, the current price is slightly higher than that of fuel cars, but it is also within the range that consumers can accept. If domestic lithium battery technology can be safer than Japan's, and the cost can be reduced by one-third, it means that the development of new energy vehicles in China will be feasible.
"It may not be possible, you can take the time to go to our real yĆ n room and find out." Qin Hai said, "Also, we are also conducting research on the supercapacitor technology you mentioned, although no effective progress has been made so far, but the main reason is that the development of an important material has not yet been completed." Once this material is developed, we can come up with supercapacitors with practical application value within half a year. ā
"What do you mean by important material?" Zhang Daiwei asked, he was obviously attracted by Qin Hai's words, and he was a little conceited about his professional knowledge, planning to see if there was a suitable solution for Qin Hai.
Qin Hai shook his head with a smile and said, "This is still a secret, and it is inconvenient for me to reveal it to you." But one thing is for sure, our material will be the first of its kind in the world. I estimate that it will take about three to five years to be able to develop it. ā
The material Qin Hai said was the graphene that he arranged for Nie Sen to develop. The use of graphene as the separator between the positive and negative electrodes of a capacitor is a key know-how in the manufacture of supercapacitors. Before the research and development is completed, Qin Hai will naturally not disclose this information, so as not to leak the news and be taken the lead by foreign scholars with richer technical reserves.
"I see." Zhang Daiwei is also engaged in technology, knowing that every company has some technology that is inconvenient for outsiders to mention, he directly ignored the problem of supercapacitors that Qin Hai said, but focused on lithium batteries.
"Mr. Qin, if you can really come up with better and cheaper lithium batteries than the Japanese, then the research of new energy vehicles can be greatly advanced. As for the investment in R&D...... I didn't calculate it carefully, probably within 100 million yuan is enough. Zhang Daiwei said.
"100 million yuan, so cheap?" Qin Hai couldn't believe it. He is a material expert, not an automotive expert, and naturally does not know how much it will cost to develop a new type of car. In his mind, new energy vehicles represent new technologies, and the development cost must be very high. If only 100 million yuan is needed, doesn't it mean that Daqin Group can completely pay for this research on its own? (To be continued......)
