Finally asked, I've been waiting for you for a few days, Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting next to Zheng Fuchuan, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time. **Free book TXT e-book download**
What did BYD start with? Everyone who understands knows that it depends on the battery!
Moreover, this period of time is also the most rapid development of BYD in the battery industry, in recent years, relying on the substantial growth of battery sales, it has brought BYDD the opportunity to take off.
And Zheng Fuchuan, a fierce man, has just started to work on batteries not long ago, and when their BYD car project has not yet been launched, they have begun to lay out the battery research and development work of electric vehicles.
In the original history, BYD was also the first company to produce electric vehicles in the Celestial Empire, and even before Jin Xiaoqiang crossed the rebirth, the world's longest driving record for electric vehicles was also held by BYD, which shows BYDD's skills in battery manufacturing.
In the past two years, although the battery industry is developing rapidly, but there are also some technological revolutions, since the 90s of the last century, the world is crazy to hype the concept of new energy.
The concept of a new generation of lithium batteries, that is, from that time began to be hyped up, in recent years, Japan's Sanyo, Panasonic and other well-known enterprises, have also made breakthroughs in the new technology of lithium batteries, although lithium batteries are not very stable, but there have been some small electrical appliances loaded with lithium batteries began to be listed one after another.
As Zheng Fuchuan, who started in the battery industry, as a successful businessman, how could he not have paid attention to this?
In fact, in recent years, BYD has been catching up with the world's battery technology Cáo flow, has been working the research and development of lithium batteries, just last year, they have made a certain technological breakthrough in the large storage battery of lithium battery.
Not long ago, the kind of lithium iron hydrochloride batteries announced in foreign countries, they have been copied out, although xìng can not be stable, and the data performance is not as prominent as others, but this is also a technical breakthrough.
As a visionary businessman, he has seen the arrival of the era of lithium batteries, and with the breakthrough of lithium battery technology, the huge business opportunities brought by the breakthrough of lithium battery technology.
So he has been thinking about how to lay out the lithium battery industry since last year.
A major breakthrough has been made in the field of lithium batteries, and the future battery field belongs to lithium batteries, which is no longer a secret in the world's battery industry.
Then if you want to become the big head of the lithium battery industry, then you must master one thing, that is, lithium resources.
BYD, a company that started by manufacturing batteries, has long set its sights on lithium resources.
At present, in the world, lithium ore resources are mainly distributed in Australia, Russia, the Celestial Empire, the United States, and South America, especially the Australian mine, and the quality of South American ore is the most prominent.
The main reason for Australian mines is that Australia itself is a country that mainly relies on the export of resources, so it should be easier to mine from here, but this country belongs to the United States and is politically hostile to the Celestial Empire, so it is not so easy to get their mines.
In South America, lithium resources are very abundant, but the distance is long, freight is a problem, and the local political environment is not peaceful, so there is also a certain degree of difficulty.
As for the United States and Russia, there is no need to think about it at all.
The United States itself is the most hostile country to the Celestial Empire, and it is simply impossible to open a mine in their country, in the eyes of Zheng Fuchuan.
However, the domestic political environment in Russia is poor, and lithium mines are distributed in some relatively remote tundra, which is difficult and costly to mine. …,
So relatively speaking, it is better to engage in mines in South America, but the current BYD does not have the strength to open mines in South America, so it can only look at other people's mines.
As for the country, in fact, there are not a lot of lithium resources, but because the Celestial Empire is a very special country, the current mineral resources belong to the state, and the people cannot mine at will, and the country has no intention of developing lithium mines on a large scale, so it is quite difficult to engage in lithium mines in the country.
And even if the country opens up lithium resources, if you want to get the mining rights of those lithium mines at that time, I am afraid it will cost a very large price, which is also what the current BYD cannot afford.
In the end, after thinking about it, Zheng Fuchuan still decided that it was the safest decision to find a stable supplier first.
So since last year, he has sent some of his purchasing managers out and began to inspect some suppliers of lithium resources across the country.
In the end, through neutralization and comparison, they selected a company, which is a lithium mining company located in Si@Sichuan Province, and the two sides have entered the substantive negotiation stage.
However, the careful BYD negotiators found that the lithium supplier company actually purchased lithium ore resources from other places and then bought them.
In the end, through some unconventional means, they figured out that the supplier of this lithium mining company turned out to be a lithium mining company from Australia!
This company has been very popular recently, especially after Apple, a well-known computer company, announced that it was going to develop an intelligence.
The world's major parts suppliers are playing the abacus of Apple's supply, but in the field of batteries, Apple said, because this is a large-screen touch screen intelligence, so in terms of battery procurement, people must purchase high-power, long-standby excellent batteries.
Although it is not explicitly stated, but people's intentions have been very clear, it must only be lithium batteries.
After all, nickel-metal hydride batteries are incomparable with lithium batteries in terms of standby time, so as soon as this news came out, not only Apple became popular, but even lithium mining companies also trembled.
This originally unknown Australian lithium mining company has also become popular, and there are a large number of procurement personnel every day, intending to negotiate with them to reach a lithium ore powder purchase agreement.
Of course, BYD couldn't miss such a thing, so BYD's negotiators began to bypass the Sichuan company and began to directly find the Mén of Talisen's office in the Celestial Empire.
As a result, after some extraordinary means of understanding, they learned a shocking news, it turned out that the big boss behind the Talisen company turned out to be a very mysterious figure, and according to rumors, this big boss actually came from the Celestial Empire.
There was such news, so after receiving the news, Zheng Fuchuan immediately máo, someone started to lay out lithium resources so early? And you're still a Celestial Empire?
The most important thing is that he quietly won the lithium mine in Australia!
Is this worth it? So since the first two months of last year, BYD has sent a large number of scouts to Australia, and the purpose of this trip is only one, that is, to clear the truth of Talisen, and second, if the rumor is true, then it is necessary to find out who the mysterious Talisen's Celestial Empire master is.
The BYD side sent out a reconnaissance team of no less than dozens of people, and it took no less than two months and millions of Australian dollars, but there was still no news at all.
It wasn't until the beginning of a few years that they figured out who was behind the scenes of Talisen, who had been in charge of the high-level negotiations between Jin Xiaoqiang and Talisen, and who had now left Talisen, at a price of 100,000 Australian dollars. …,
Zheng Fuchuan, who was in Shenzhen at the time, was so shocked that he was speechless for several days when he received the news from his men in Australia.
Talisen is really controlled by the people of the Celestial Empire, the person who controls it is called Jin Guozhu, and this Jin Guozhu still has several resource companies in China, and the most important thing is that this person is actually a famous automobile design master of the Celestial Empire, the boss of Huayang Power, and Jin Xiaoqiang's father!
It is precisely because of the shock of this news that Zheng Fuchuan decided to personally lead the team in this cooperation and negotiation with Huayang Power.
First, I want to see the reality of Huayang Power, and secondly, I want to meet Jin Xiaoqiang, the helmsman of Huayang Power, to really understand the reality of this legend.
After such a period of contact, Zheng Fuchuan realized that this Mr. Jin is really not simple, and he really thinks he is a very great person.
And after a few days of contact, Zheng Fuchuan also saw Jin Xiaoqiang's wisdom, as well as the foresight of doing things, it seems that the news that his subordinates came back from Australia is probably true.
It is really possible that Talisen is one of the branches of Jin Xiaoqiang, Mr. Jin!
This young man is really amazing, so after two more days of getting acquainted with each other, Zheng Fuchuan finally asked Jin Xiaoqiang a question about Talisen.
And the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang has treated Zheng Fuchuan so warmly in the past two days is actually what he is not like, thinking about reaching an agreement with Zheng Fuchuan on the supply of lithium ore powder?
Since the acquisition of Talisen, Jin Xiaoqiang has not paid much attention to this company, Talisen has been jiāo to the uncle of the situation in the management, and his father is the chairman of the company, every year will fly to Australia from time to time, participate in several high-level meetings of the company, to understand the company's development and sales.
Since the separation of Talisen, their company, which specializes in lithium ore resources, has been booming after receiving capital injection from Jin Xiaoqiang.
After hesitating the breakthroughs made by Japanese companies in the field of lithium batteries, and began to continue to have practical lithium batteries for small electrical appliances on the market, the price of lithium ore powder began to rise quietly in the bulk goods market.
The price has quietly climbed from $100 a ton a few years ago to more than $200 a tonne, and according to the current situation, such price increases will definitely continue.
Of course, the shareholders of the company are happy, but Jin Xiaoqiang feels that this is not enough, after all, there are not many companies in the world that can develop and manufacture lithium batteries, and there will be a period of time for lithium batteries to be listed on a large scale.
So he thinks that the profit margin of this company is still a bit low, and he is planning to find some business for this company!
Needless to say, the large-scale demand for lithium ore powder by Japanese companies is still not large enough.
But if there is any company that will use a large amount of lithium ore powder, then in Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes, there may be no second one besides BYD.
And this company's desire for lithium resources can be said to be incomparable to any company.
In the original world, after receiving the financial support of Warren Buffett, the first thing Zheng Fuchuan and Zheng did was to buy lithium mines all over the world.
Sichuan, Tibet and many other companies with lithium resources were acquired by BYD, so in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, the best buyer of his Talisen company's products is, of course, BYD.
So in the past two days, although he has been concentrating on accompanying Zheng Fuchuan to play around and cultivate feelings, he actually does not intend to wait for the time to mature, just like what he meant by promoting his lithium ore powder. …,
In the past few days, the two have basically become familiar with each other, and even because of their dedication to technology in their respective fields, the two have formed a little bit of a year-old jiāo.
Jin Xiaoqiang was thinking about how to talk to Zheng Fuchuan to promote Talisen's lithium ore powder, but he didn't expect that just when he wanted to sleep, someone brought him a pillow, and Zheng Fuchuan actually asked in person.
"Hehe, yes, you can get some lithium powder, how can Mr. Zheng, are you interested?"
The more you want to make an agreement with the other party, the more you can't express it, otherwise the conditions of jiāo are likely to be very unfavorable to you.
"Yes! Mr. Jin, you also know that our BYD started with the left battery, at present, internationally, not to mention the battery industry, even if it is an ordinary civilian battery industry, the rise of lithium batteries is also the trend of the times, so we are not just seeking a way out for the development of our BYD? ”
Zheng Fuchuan didn't care so much, it is true that he really needs the lithium resources in Jin Xiaoqiang's hands now.
According to Zheng Fuchuan's judgment and prediction, in the next two or three years, lithium batteries will set off a technological revolution in the battery industry, and all kinds of electrical appliances using lithium batteries will be popular, so the price of lithium ore will definitely rise sharply in recent years.
At this time, if we can't find a stable supply chain for ourselves, whether BYD can survive this technological revolution is probably a question.
Therefore, the supply contract between him and Jin Xiaoqiang this time is bound to be negotiated, not only to negotiate success, but also to determine a long-term price, which is the most favorable situation for BYD.
