152 and enter Beijing again
Facts have proved that enterprises that can achieve a certain scale under the impact of market storms will not lack the grasp of business opportunities. After Xiaozha's phone call www.biquge.info opened, in just a few days, countless large companies and large groups have extended olive branches to Infinite Future.
Bustling, all for profit, they all fancy the new battery technology. Among the first batch of 20,000 drones on sale, there is a small batch, which was bought by companies that pay more attention to market intelligence collection. What is the concept of a battery that can increase the use time by ten times, let's put it this way, if there is any kind of electronic product that exclusively uses this kind of battery, the market domination is just around the corner.
In fact, there are a large number of laboratories and research institutes around the world that are exploring the next generation of battery technology, and many amazing results have been achieved. For example, the lithium-sulfur battery, which has basically matured in theory and process, has more than 5 times the capacity of the existing battery under the same circumstances; There are also graphene batteries, which have been particularly popular in recent years, and their performance can also be improved several times; There is also a more mysterious nuclear battery (relying on decay reaction), which is said to be able to increase its theoretical performance by dozens of times, and NASA has announced that it will be used in space equipment in the near future.
But these new battery technologies all have a common drawback: expensive! Far beyond the pricing range of mainstream products in the market, it is beyond the affordability of the vast majority of ordinary users. This is an important reason why many high-tech technologies have been applied in the military, aerospace and other fields for many years, but they have never been popularized in the civilian field. Secrecy is one of the reasons, but not the most important thing, the high cost is the key to hindering the popularization of new technologies.
Judging from their first batch of 20,000 units on sale, and then they will officially sell them in large quantities, the preparation process and cost control of this new type of battery have matured and matured enough to be widely used.
This can also be seen in the price of selfie drones: the price of 9,000 yuan is not abrupt in mid-to-high-end drones, in fact, compared to the performance it shows, everyone thinks this price is incredibly generous. On the online trading platform, even if it is a selfie drone that has been opened and used, the price tag of 20,000 yuan is the rhythm of shooting in minutes. You know, it's only about a month before the official sale.
Because of this, the market's expectations for this new battery have reached a high point, and even Chen Wenhao spent more than 300 million yuan a few months ago to acquire the news that a battery factory was dug up by the media. Behind all this noise, many companies with R&D strength have acquired selfie drones from various channels, and the first thing they do after they get their hands is to remove the battery and analyze the composition of the battery. The result of the analysis is that it is not as previously imagined, the use of electrical grade materials such as graphene, which are basically the materials commonly used in ordinary lithium batteries, the difference is that several rare earth elements are added, but they are the most common and inexpensive light rare earth elements. Unfortunately, the analysis can only find out the existing ingredients, but the proportion and process cannot be analyzed.
Imagine if there is a smartphone that can be charged only once a week, and the price is slightly more expensive or even the same, as long as there are no obvious defects, the ghost will buy a mobile phone that needs to be charged every day. Another example is tablets, laptops, cameras, video cameras and other large power shortages, whoever adopts this new type of battery first will have the opportunity to change the entire industry pattern. With such a big temptation, who will not be tempted, and who will dare not be tempted.
It's just that none of these companies that came to the door got the answers they wanted, except for a few manufacturers who had cooperated with Infinite Future before, and the others didn't even see Chen Wenhao. The reply to everyone is the same: the new battery capacity is currently insufficient and cannot be supplied to the outside world for the time being.
"Mr. Chen, the latest list of enterprises that have proposed cooperation has been emailed to you." At the internal meeting of the management of Infinite Future, Fang Yuxin is reporting on the reception work in the past few days, and various manufacturers who have come for new batteries have been receiving her in the past few days. "According to your requirements, companies that want to purchase new batteries have left the product specifications and parameters they need."
"Okay, it's hard work, I guess there will be more later, just deal with it as it is."
For companies that want to get a piece of the pie in battery technology, Chen Wenhao does not plan to be distracted. Other people's attitude towards him is not surprising, and they all know internally that the battery factory has limited production capacity, and it can't even expand the production of its own drones, let alone supply them to the outside world. However, Chen Wenhao has other plans in his heart, but there is no need to say it.
At present, he is most concerned about two things, the first is the construction of the Yidong base. Previously, the leader of the infrastructure project management team has reported on the construction of the base, and the most basic and time-consuming part of the foundation is currently being carried out.
In order to speed up the construction progress, the infrastructure project was divided into three parts, the headquarters building as the main building, two staff accommodation and activity buildings, and the factory part, which were contracted to three construction companies through bidding.
The project, which would have taken more than a year and a half, could be cut in half, but the cost has risen by at least 30 percent. However, with Chen Wenhao's insistence and the abundant funds in the company's account, it is naturally unimpeded. However, because it is difficult to keep the bidding confidential, this matter has become a typical example of rich and capricious after it was reported by the media.
After telling the leader of the infrastructure team to pay attention to quality supervision, Chen Wenhao turned his head to a new face in the conference room, he is the company's newly recruited human resources director, named Su Jingdong, who has presided over human resources management in several large groups. As the company's business spread more and more, Fang Yuxin chose to focus on administrative work, and the position of human resources director was vacant.
Su Jingdong is less than forty, which is the golden age when men in the workplace are the most experienced and energetic, and his development in the previous unit is also smooth, and he is still a little hesitant to change jobs. It wasn't until Chen Wenhao had a deep conversation with him and was moved, or alarmed, by the company's prospects described by Chen Wenhao, that he made a decision. To be honest, if it weren't for the endorsement of Chen Wenhao's achievements with such an ambitious development plan, Su Jingdong would only think it was a fool's dream. But what if, it really happens? Su Jingdong, who was already biased in his heart, moved his mind to change jobs.
Of course, Infinite Future's option rewards for senior managers are also one of the reasons why he is tempted. There is nothing wrong with this, and you can't eat it just by drawing a big pie and making promises. Under normal circumstances, all jobs that don't talk about remuneration are tricks. Rogue company.
Chen Wenhao hopes that after the completion of the Yidong base, the R&D center can be put into operation simultaneously, and the equipment and projects are not a problem, the key is to need enough talents. For the company's existing projects, basic research talents and project leaders are indispensable. The former can be found among a large number of university graduates, while the latter needs to recruit experts and scholars with sufficient strength.
Su Jingdong's task is to do a good job of sufficient talent reserve for the R&D center that will be put into use at the end of the year. His report also revolves around this point, and the work that has just begun is underway: basic talents can be supplemented through large-scale campus recruitment, and leading talents need to be found in professional institutions and colleges. Chen Wenhao agreed with the idea and directly said that as long as it is needed, give money to others. The task is very heavy and the pressure is very high, but Su Jingdong feels full of fighting spirit and motivation.
……
Shortly after the regular meeting, Chen Wenhao received a long-awaited phone call. The other party is Dai Junpeng, everyone is familiar with it and there is no need to be polite, Dai Junpeng got straight to the point, "The follow-up test of the project has all passed successfully, and then there will be an internal award ceremony, the leader has special instructions, you are the hero of this time, let me be sure to invite you to participate." ”
Chen Wenhao naturally had to be modest, "The leaders are too elevated to me, the main work is done by Mr. Niu and other academicians and experts, and what I do is the icing on the cake." Although the intelligent control system is important, in the electromagnetic ejection system, the motor power supply device, the forced energy storage system and other parts are the core components. And these are the experts involved in the electromagnetic catapult project, who have studied it little by little from scratch, and he absolutely does not dare to take credit.
Dai Junpeng smiled, "You kid, you are humble at this time, your performance in the project team at that time was against the sky, and several experts in the group still like to use you as an example when educating assistants." ”
Chen Wenhao was embarrassed, fortunately, before going to the project team, he got the knowledge inheritance of the scientific expedition ship's wisdom brain, otherwise he would have been ugly if he really went, let alone be able to make some achievements.
"I have another meeting to have later, so I won't talk to you more. By the way, Xiaoqian has already gone to work in your company, you have to be nice to her, when she was in Xiangjiang, my aunt kept talking about wanting her to come back to the capital, who knew that she went to Jianghai in a blink of an eye. Dai Junpeng said a few words over there.
"By the way, a leader above said that Comrade Xiao Chen put down a big mess of his own enterprise, but made important contributions to major national projects, and is a good comrade worthy of trust." Before the end of the call, Dai Junpeng suddenly said something meaningful.
Putting the phone on the table, Chen Wenhao leaned back in his chair, but his mind was churning. Dai Junpeng's last sentence was quite meaningful, and he specially transferred a sentence of praise from the leader to praise him, which was not so naïve. It's more like a kind reminder.
It seems that this time I entered Beijing and participated in the award ceremony is only a part, waiting for a signal for many days, is this counted?! It's really worth looking forward to. (To be continued.) )
