Chapter 156: Weber Thin Film Technology

In February 2012, the price of a single bitcoin fell below $2, a drop of 1,395% from the new high of $31.9 set in June 2011! Many speculators wailed in the face of this wave of price crashes, and fell all over their heads, but DGC made a lot of money.

This is a later story, not for the time being!

"Mr. Chen, there is a guest outside who wants to see you!" As soon as Liu Liu's front foot left, Wang Sisi knocked on the door and walked in.

Well? The company has not yet carried out external business, how can there be guests to visit, Chen Chumo was confused.

"Who? What's the matter? Chen Chumo asked.

"Huaxiaren, the chairman of an energy company, has been in the United States on a business trip for some time. Two days ago, I heard that we had no intention of acquiring a new energy technology that they valued to negotiate the transfer. Wang Sisi said.

Five days ago, Yang Ming called and told the goddess Liu Qianxue to visit a high-tech project in Los Angeles. After getting acquainted, they took care of Xiao Xiao in Las Vegas, and they really couldn't save face, so Chen Chumo had to take Xiao Xiao to get together with them.

During the dinner, Liu Qianxue praised this technology intentionally or unintentionally. Revealing that her company is currently focusing on investing in computer software and hardware, she regrets that the projects she is investigating do not fall within the scope of current venture capital and miss this good opportunity.

Everyone couldn't stand Liu Qianxue's recommendation, and they couldn't pull it off, so they had to go with her to the company called 'Weber New Energy Company' to continue their visit and inspection the next day.

According to Weber, their technology is called 'Weber thin film' technology, which is currently the world's most efficient technology for solar energy conversion and is at the world's leading level. The area around California has little rainfall and abundant sunshine all year round, which can be widely used for solar power generation, and they want to build a solar power plant in the California area, hoping to get investment from venture companies. If they don't invest, they can also consider selling the technology as long as the price is ideal.

Huaxia power grid is developed, abundant electricity, perennial sunshine hours are also average, in Huaxia to promote, not to mention the investment, and solar power does not have a price advantage, the risk is very great. This is why many investors are optimistic about the prospects of solar energy, but they are shy away from investing, and Yang Ming and his gang of rich second generations are naturally not interested in introducing this technology.

The third stage of bitcoin mining will consume a huge amount of electricity, Chen Chumo felt that solar power generation might help their layout, but he didn't think much about it, and after everyone broke up, he secretly returned to Weber Energy to buy the technology.

The person in charge of Weber said that there was also a company before him that valued this technology very much, but the price has not been negotiated and is in a wait-and-see state. Chen Chumo covered his ears and thundered, won the love of people, and won the 'Weber film' technology. Today's guests must have come for this purpose.

"Please let him in! By the way, let's invite Liu Liu and Gao Lei to come in, and you also know new energy technology. ”

Chen Chumo said.

After a while, Wang Sisi walked in with a middle-aged man in his 40s, followed by Liu Liu and Gao Lei.

"It's really young and promising, I can't imagine that a few of you have created such achievements in a foreign country at a young age, it's not easy!" As soon as he entered the office, the guests praised Chen Chumo.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Hejun, and I am the chairman of Hanneng Group, a listed company in China." The man politely handed out business cards to everyone.

Li Hejun? Chairman of Hanneng Group? It can't be such a coincidence! Isn't he the one who fed back the information that the consulting company fed back two days ago?

In order to find an ideal site for a virtual currency mine in Huaxia, DGC needed to work with an electric power company. For potential collaborators, the company consulted with professional information companies, and after evaluation, they gave a list of two ideal partners, one of which was Mr. Li Hejun of Hanneng Group, and the other was Mr. Zhang Shiping of Weiqiao Group.

Zhang Shiping's Weiqiao Group not only has its own power plant, but also has set up a dedicated power grid, so that Weiqiao Group can not only meet its own power use, but also sell surplus electricity to generate benefits for its own enterprises. According to the survey, the market price of electricity delivered by the Weiqiao Power Plant to the surrounding people is very low, only 50% or 60% of the price of the Chinese government's power grid. If DGC's Huaxia Mine can cooperate with them, it will save a considerable amount of money and make mining more competitive!

Li Hejun's Hanneng Group, which owns the world's largest private hydropower plant, does not have its own power grid, so it has no power to set prices, so it has to whisper a plea to be integrated into the Huaxia State Grid. Sell electric energy to the State Grid, earn your own hard-earned electricity production money, and watch the face of the electric tiger eat.

After comprehensive consideration, between Li Hejun and Zhang Shiping, Chen Chumo is more inclined to cooperate with the latter.

"Mr. Li has been looking up for a long time!" Li Hejun is an elder and a guest, and Chen Chumo still has the etiquette he should have.

As both Chinese people, everyone's warm greetings and introductions are naturally indispensable.

"Li's rash visit is really helpless, and I hope Mr. Chen will forgive me." Li Hejun said.

"There is a 108,000-mile difference between our financial company and an energy company, so I don't know why Mr. Li came to visit the office?" Chen Chumo saw that Li Hejun couldn't hold his mouth open, so he had to ask himself.

Li Hejun has thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a pair of glasses, he has no temperament of an entrepreneur and profiteer at all, he is amiable to him, and he looks like a steady and wise senior government official.

"DGC has purchased Weber film technology, and professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and Weber film may be more valuable to us when it is handed over, can Mr. Chen transfer this technology to us Hanneng Group? As for the price, we'd rather bid $60 million. Li Hejun said.

Weber initially set a price tag of $200 million for Weber film technology, but after a year, no one cared about it, so it dropped to $100 million, but it still couldn't be sold. As a last resort, Weber had to look for buyers from all over the world.

A month ago, Li Hejun didn't know where to get the news, and after analysis, he believed that Weber thin film technology would be an epoch-making technology in the energy industry, with epoch-making significance. Therefore, the Hanneng delegation headed by Li Hejun traveled thousands of miles to the United States, and was determined to win Weber's film technology.

According to market research, Li believes that the price of Weber's film technology is reasonable at $30 million, while Weber insists that its film technology is world-leading, worth at least $50 million. The Hanneng Group delegation and Weber Company had several contacts and bargaining but could not reach an agreement on the price, but they did not expect to bite the gold halfway, and before Hanneng Group could react, they robbed the thin film technology, which made Li Hejun very depressed.

After this variable, Li Hejun did not dare to pursue too much rationality in terms of price, and only wanted to be able to get the film technology smoothly in his hands, even if it was only two days, he would not hesitate to spend an extra $10 million in vain!

"Mr. Li, we are a financial investment company, and we have our own criteria for judging the value of a project, otherwise we would not have rashly won Weber film technology. $60 million? I am very skeptical of Hanneng's professional vision! Chen Chumo said.

A virtual currency investment company, how can there be any actual project value evaluation criteria, Chen Chumo is obviously sitting on the ground and starting the price!

"$80 million! As long as Mr. Chen nods, the funds will arrive immediately. Li Hejun said.

Damn, I'm really willing to spend my money, let us earn 30 million US dollars in two days, it seems that Weber film technology is very important to Hanneng Group!

"Weber thin-film technology is good, but to be honest, there aren't many people who can create value with it, otherwise the world's leading energy technology wouldn't be treated coldly by major venture capital firms. $100 million! This is the greatest sincerity we can give, and I hope Mr. Chen will consider it carefully. Li Hejun saw that Chen Chumo was silent, and increased his weight again.

"Hanneng Group is so interested in thin film technology that it must already have its own ideas on how it can realize the value of economic benefits, and I would like to hear from you about its operation." Chen Chumo said.

"We haven't been exposed to Weber film technology, we don't know much about it, and we can't work out a viable economic benefit operating model at this time. To realize the economic value of the technology, I am afraid that it will take a long time of experimentation and exploration to find a business model suitable for Weber thin film technology. Li Hejun said.

The reason why they are interested enough in this technology is because they have been immersed in the electric energy industry for many years, and they are sensitive to the perception that solar energy will be the development direction of new energy in the future.

"Since Hanneng Group does not have a good business plan for new technology, then I can't sell thin film technology to you, I want to give it to someone who really understands it!" Chen Chumo said.

Bitcoin, a false and inconspicuous virtual object, can dig out a broad road to wealth, Weber thin film technology is the world's most advanced clean energy technology, why can't it create another road to wealth? Although Chen Chumo doesn't know anything about high-tech, his intuition tells him that Weber's film technology is a gift from God to him, and it must not be sold cheaply!

"Mr. Chen, if you hold the thin film technology in your hands, no one will really understand it, understand it, and will not be able to discover its value, let alone give full play to its economic benefits." Li Hejun said anxiously, for fear that Chen Chumo would lock this technology in the safe and lock it up, so that it would never see the light of day! That would be a loss for the entire energy industry, and indeed for humanity as a whole.
