A series of hiring and interviews took several days, and the foundation of the company was established.

Meng Qian asked the assistant to inform the main members that the first meeting of the new company was held in the afternoon, with the purpose of getting to know each other, as well as giving everyone a thorough understanding and enhancing their self-confidence. This is what I learned from reading books recently, which did not make him a business elite, but at least he was organized.

Half an hour later, the company conference room.

Meng Qian's gaze swept over the twenty or so people present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy that we can work together. When you choose it, you have a good understanding and passion for technology. You should be aware that the company has a huge market for the research and development of new batteries. ”

There is no plan to make a long speech, he speaks with data: "The laboratory is testing the company's new lithium battery, which has applied for a number of domestic and foreign patents, which can tell you that its energy density, capacity, charging and discharging speed are absolutely ahead of the existing technology." ”

The eyes of the employees were focused on the projection screen, and the pictures and text were there.

There are countless companies that are developing new batteries, spending a lot of money and consuming time, and some companies are still in the laboratory stage after ten years of making them, and they have not yet taken the steps of commercialization. And this young boss skipped the most difficult process lightly?

The surprises and surprises of the employees are all certain.

Meng Qian continued to infect them with confidence: "The future design work is not difficult, as long as the cost is compressed, our products can be produced and marketed at any time." So I hope that all departments will take active action, and as the first batch of members of the company, you will witness miracles! ”

It surprised everyone, then gave confidence and a future, and then dismissed.

After the meeting ended, Meng Qian asked Zong Yan and Hu Yue to stay and discuss the details again.

Zong Yan is still digesting Meng Qian's lofty words just now, he is not a professional, he needs time to understand, and there are many questions: "Mr. Meng, do you mean that the materials and process difficulty of the new battery can meet the needs of commercialization?" ”

Meng Qian nodded: "Yes, there are a lot of samples in the laboratory. ”

Zong Yan asked, "What about its specific properties?" ”

Meng Qian handed over the sample to him: "It is the latest product in the laboratory, the capacity is 3.2 times that of the same volume of lithium batteries, the energy density is close to the theoretical limit, the quality meets the requirements of Class A products, the charging and discharging life is more than 1000 times, and it supports high-voltage and high-current fast charging." ”

The technology is very strong, but Zong Yan also looks at the problem tricky: "There is trouble with the cost? ”

Hu Yue, who was in charge of the test, said: "We have estimated that if we want to produce this type of battery, the cost of a single unit will be at least 65 yuan. The cost of the same type of A-product battery, which triples its capacity, is only 40 yuan, and the cost of our 65, if you want to have enough profit, the price must be higher. ”

Zong Yan considered: "65 is not too high, if it can ensure more than three times the capacity, and increase the charging speed by 6 times that of the traditional one, the high-end field can be digested." For example, Apple's mobile phones cost $70 to replace the battery after sale. ”

Meng Qian is also inclined to Zong Yan's attitude: "So I have to consider simply specializing in high-end brands, using high costs to maintain the absolute leadership of technology, only cooperating with domestic and international top brands, high-end can ensure profits, and low-end products cannot consume the company's technology at all." ”

Zong Yan talked about his thoughts again: "There is definitely a way out for high-end, the price of high-end brand mobile phones is often three or four thousand, the cost of the battery has little impact, and the most important thing is that the high-capacity and fast charging that users and manufacturers dream of, it is attractive enough and is a huge advantage and selling point." ”

……

There are not many questions about the positioning of the company's products.

Everyone agrees that to be high-end, this is the only choice. The cost of batteries is very high, and if the company wants to make a profit, the price of supply will inevitably be higher, the cost of 65, the selling price of 100, or even higher is profitable - because there is a cost of technology research and development.

Although the cost is saved by Meng Qian, it does not mean that it does not exist, and he cringes and lowers the price, losing profits and ruining the future. Therefore, after the high-end tone is established, the company will develop around it, including brand design, market analysis, marketing strategy, etc.

After things gradually got on the right track, all that was left for Meng Qian was to wait.

Wait for the research team to screen out the most suitable production plan, and wait for the establishment and improvement of the company's foundation. Once both are in place, it's time for the most exciting and performance-testing moment – the product launch. It is one step closer to the industrial giants and even monopoly tycoons of Meng Qian's dreams.

A few days later, on the weekend, Meng Qian put his work aside for recreation.

The last racing course I signed up for started, and the schedule reminds me that it happens to be today, and the tuition fees have been paid, so it's not too wasteful. The training venue is located in the suburban racing track, taught by several well-known professional racing drivers in China, and there are two main types of courses: G photo and E photo.

The training of E photo is more comprehensive, including basic theory, acceleration, braking, heel toe downshift and track practice, etc., and the cost is naturally higher. In fact, motorsports is not far from ordinary people, anyone with a driver's license can learn, and the time is not long, just two or three days.

The training car is a Volkswagen POLO-1.6 racing car, professionally modified, everything that should be dismantled inside has been dismantled, a roll cage is installed, racing seats, four-point seat belts, the power is average, but the racing tuning makes it very strong in handling. Meng Qian, who took a theory class, longed for speed and passion in his heart.

The first lesson is starting and braking, who doesn't sound like that? But if you want to start with the most strength and speed, you have to find a feeling in continuous learning. And the brakes, nothing more than a pedal? Meng Qian stepped down, but the tires locked up and the car lost control.

Naturally, there is no superfluous thing such as ABS, and if it is not handled well, it is a manic mustang, and it will not give the driver face at all...... Meng Qian, who has a lot of knowledge and has taken classes for three days in a row, seems to have the quality of being related to the profession under this kind of baptism, and has successfully started.

But learning and specialization are the gap between heaven and earth, at the end of the three-day course, Meng Qian did not think that he had become a master, but took a few steps back, turned off his Ferrari's electronic assistance, restored his irascible nature, and drove it on the track to spread the foundation of fun, which continued to accumulate.

Although the course is over, you still have to continue training if you want to be professional. Meng Qian has nothing to do recently, the company is developing slowly, he is in a hurry, he needs to adjust, to expand his social circle, to maintain some spiritual pursuit. Practice racing is one of the things at the moment, and he's enjoying it.

Learn a little bit of interest, and then care about the company.

The laboratory's screening of the "cost performance" of batteries is still ongoing, and the factory site is also being searched.

Battery safety is also the focus, the lithium battery system has a certain danger, will expand, explode and the like, his products need to go through strict testing. Fortunately, such polymer batteries are generally relatively stable and will not be like the power batteries of automobiles, which have a complex use environment.

As long as all aspects are passed, the factory can immediately recruit people and trial production.

Thinking of that tens of billions of markets, it is exciting.

Even the speed of the car has become faster and more handy.

The driver who ran at the front of the racing track and was chased by Meng Qian was Liu Jianhao, they encountered many times, this guy is the same age as Meng Qian, but his origin is not small, and his specific identity is not clear, but Meng Qian saw that he changed three cars a week, either a luxury car or a supercar, and the style was very big.

The other party is a little mysterious, there are so many sports cars, and he likes racing, but he is not a member of the supercar club, and he has not heard Meng Qian's friends talk about it. I usually don't talk much, I come to the car park to train, and the topic of communication is more focused on racing, and I rarely talk about myself.

The car does not allow distraction, the opportunity is fleeting, Meng Qian has bitten Liu Jianhao's fart-thigh, the front is a high-speed corner, which tests his skills, he is faced with two choices: downshift into the corner to lose the speed, out of the corner has no power; If you don't slow down, you will definitely slip sideways when cornering at high speed!
