Chapter 011: Targeting New Energy

If you want to increase the value of a piece of software, you need to introduce an endless stream of new technologies or a variety of features in a short period of time. The core technology is too strong, and users naturally continue to join. At the same time, it also released this signal: the development ability of the company's team is definitely not weak.

The more intense the effect, the more the giants will naturally pay attention. The competing companies don't want to see their products fall into the hands of other competitors, which will give them a year or more of technological lead. The loss of a valuable user base almost ruined the future.

Meng Qian, who is well versed in this, is engaged in development as soon as possible.

The first version of the optimization master is just to test the waters, and the upcoming second version has learned the functions of the giant APP, and constantly improved it, and also considered adding the voice recognition function to make the user's operation more interesting. Then the function of the application market is launched, which is convenient for downloading software.

Things are in full swing, and Meng Qian has already smashed all the funds.

It was a gamble, but he had a high probability of winning.

……

The rest of the time, Meng Qian was thinking about his future plans.

There is a company that values the software at 20 million, and he has entered the field of earnings. But software is not what he wants to run at the moment, and after selling his shares and cashing out, he needs to choose a field that he likes, has great potential, and is profitable enough...... Where the hell is it?

The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.

Zhang Bing called, there was no doubt that it was a technical problem, and Meng Qian continued to guide by phone.

After I got it, I used my mobile phone to surf the Internet and wanted to find some inspiration. But for no purpose, I clicked on the website to watch the bad jokes, and then watched the video. Tossed and turned, the idea was not found, but the power of the mobile phone was consumed by more than half, and it had to be charged again.

On the way to find the charger, he suddenly felt that he had grabbed the flash.

"New energy?"

The electricity was no longer charged, and he sat down, his mind spinning at high speed.

Shrink the area, the most common is the phone battery. As we all know, the technology of smartphones has been improving, but the capacity of the battery has not kept up. The life of always having to bring a charger when going out has troubled countless people.

In addition to mobile phones, other mobile devices such as tablets, laptops, and even larger cars are in demand for groundbreaking new batteries. However, battery companies all over the world have been disappointing people...... Meng Qian saw the infinite business opportunities here.

This is a typical field where the opponent is not strong and the market is huge. Although the largest manufacturer of lithium batteries is in Japan, other companies can make it, and even the technology is not weak, so the core strength of the giants in this field is not strong. Once a new technology is introduced, a monopoly situation will inevitably be formed.

He hid in his house and laid out his plans.

Although I know that the advanced technology in my head is very strong, I can't do things recklessly. He cited technical issues, financial issues, market demand considerations, and so on. Technology and funding are currently solid, and as for the market, the demand is terrifying.

According to statistics on the Internet, according to the first three quarters of mobile phone shipments, it is expected that the global smartphone shipments in 2013 will exceed 1 billion, and the corresponding battery demand is also rising. Meng Qian didn't have that much ambition, if he could supply 10% of the equipment batteries, he would also send it.

Because of the gap in the market in this area, he decided to devote himself to it.

The most critical thing in battery technology is the material problem, and the predicted alternatives are aluminum, magnesium, graphene, etc., but the manufacturing requirements for materials are too high, and Meng Qian's funds are still limited, so he can't be so advanced. It has to be considered in terms of cost and difficulty.

He filtered through his mind and had a goal.

The target is still a lithium-ion system, but it is based on the upgrade of lithium battery technology, adjusting the electrode structure, adding certain compounds, and using some organic materials...... Theoretically, it should increase capacity by three to four times while reducing the time it takes to recharge.

Of course, theory and practice are different, and he has to do it himself.

……

He was going to register a business, but that would take time. Eager to test his idea, he set his sights on universities or companies – their battery labs were a good choice. He can find a way to finance the rent, and I believe that with the help of money, it is still feasible.

Labs are not hard to find, and the university he attended has them.

Haida (fictitious) is a key university with certain attainments in battery research.

Meng Qian contacted the teacher in charge of management and explained the premise of the intention and paid use, and the problem was easily solved.

The management teacher mentioned some rules and safety regulations for use, and Meng Qian also turned around to familiarize himself with it, although it was not this major, but he had absorbed a lot in his mind, and after transforming it into his own skills, he quickly overcame his unfamiliarity. The teacher watched for a while and left with confidence.

Meng Qian began to use his fists and kicks.

The study of lithium batteries is divided into two parts: materials and processes.

The materials are cathode materials, anode materials, diaphragms, electrolytes, etc., which Meng Qian wants to focus on, although there is a correct plan, but I am afraid that it will have to be repeated many times to master; As for the process, it is mainly in the production of battery cells, the level of technology, and the gap between batteries is obvious.

Meng Qian, who was born in science, is no stranger to experiments, selecting the materials he needs and working hard.

The days in the laboratory are very boring, screening materials, formulating plans, and carefully distinguishing battery cells, and slight differences may affect the final result; Then he checked the circuit protection and packaging in groups, and recorded the performance and stability of each group.

The most troublesome thing is the innovation of the battery cell, which is the power core of the battery. Some material laboratories do not have it, and they have to be specially ordered, and even some are not available in China. Meng Qian faced the dilemma of developing it himself or finding a replacement...... The steps in my mind are only a few moments, but the reality is difficult.

……

The development of new technologies is not easy.

It is not a small workshop to produce batteries, Meng Qian has experienced it with his own eyes, the business that sells copycat mobile phone batteries, the shape and capacity can be customized, the boss goes to get a dozen minutes according to the requirements, and the do-it-yourself DIY battery is done immediately. Of course, there is no guarantee of three no products.

He ran into a problem with the material and had to stop.

During this period, the mobile phone rang several times, and there were calls from schools and companies.

The school called from the counselor, and Meng Qian failed the elective courses last semester and still had two credits not completed, so this semester, the teacher automatically helped him choose courses. Of course, I also take care of these people who have worked, and the classes are held in the evening, so that he should not forget.

Meng Qian promised to come down, and then forgot all about it the next day.

Have a lot of money to make, and still care about a bachelor's degree?

As for the company's phone number, Liang Tao informed him that another venture capital company had recently contacted him.

Meng Qian's reply was: "At present, I value the company between 30 million and 40 million, and you directly ask them for their offers, and if you are not satisfied, you will refuse." ”

"Understood." Liang Tao said.

Meng Qian put down his phone and continued to focus on battery research.

Battery production, especially a large number of innovations, requires a huge investment, and it is estimated that a set of advanced equipment and plants alone will cost tens of millions. He even wants to innovate materials, and he wants to work well and have a future, and tens of millions are small - this investment, he wants to make money on software.
