If you deduct the upfront investment in equipment and the trouble of transporting the stone from Bluestar to the earth, in fact, the cost of carbon crystal batteries is mainly concentrated in three aspects, raw materials, electricity costs and personnel salaries.

Whether it is carbon crystal or C14, the raw material is high-purity carbon, which is quite cheap, in the context of the collapse of the international coal market, Bluestar Technology can obtain high-quality coal at a low price.

The biggest expenses are electricity bills and staff salaries.

If the daily production of 100,000 carbon crystal cells is calculated, the monthly electricity cost is 200,000-300,000 RMB, which is indeed a high energy-consuming industry, but the average to each carbon-based crystal battery is not high.

The last is the salary of personnel, the annual salary of high-quality students and technicians is 300,000 to 500,000, and the workshop management personnel are about 200,000.

This makes it calculated, in fact, the cost of carbon crystal batteries is not high, and the cost of one battery is less than 10. What's more, these costs can be recouped by high-purity diamonds, a by-product of carbon crystal production.

Of course, Chen Nuo will not be stupid, thinking that the cost does not exceed 10 yuan, so he will make money by selling it for 20 yuan. Of course, considering that the price of high-end mobile phones is now in the price range of 3000 to 6000RMB, Chen Nuo will not quote indiscriminately.

Chen Nuo said: "The ex-factory price of each carbon crystal battery is 300RMB, although this price is much higher than that of advanced carbon crystal batteries, but I believe that consumers are willing to pay for it." ”

Uncle Yu and Rebus are calculating in their hearts, and now the lithium battery cost of the flagship mobile phone is about 6 US dollars, which is about 30 yuan when converted into RMB. The battery cost of the Honor series and Redmi series is lower, and it can be controlled to about 4 US dollars.

Now the procurement cost of carbon crystal batteries is 300RMB, so after using carbon crystal batteries, the terminal will definitely increase in price, at least 300 yuan.

Take the low-spec MATE10 as an example, the current price is 3488RMB, and if you use a carbon crystal battery, the price is at least 3800. This price is a major challenge for domestic mobile phones, and Uncle Yu has to consider whether consumers will accept it.

Chen Nuo's words made Uncle Yu and Rebus completely moved.

"The price of each mobile phone plus 300 yuan is not much cheaper than Kidney 8 and Kidney X?"

Rebus thinks about this reason, whether the mobile phone with a carbon crystal battery is more practical or B than the current IP8 and IPX, if Apple does not have a carbon crystal battery and Xiaomi has, even if it is three or four hundred high, it is obvious how consumers are willing to choose.

"If your company doesn't work with Apple, the price is still acceptable," Rebus said. ”

Chen Nuo did not fail to give the two of them an affirmative answer.

In today's fierce competition in the mobile phone industry, this risk is definitely worth taking, and the sooner carbon crystal batteries are used, the more they can seize the market.

In terms of price, Rebus and Uncle Yu wanted to talk to Chen Nuo and press it again, but Chen Nuo refused to let it go at all, and Uncle Yu and Rebus had to choose to compromise when they were negotiating.

In the end, the two quickly signed an order for carbon crystal batteries in Chen Nuo's office, Uncle Yu first placed an order for one million carbon crystal batteries, this batch of batteries will first be used in Huawei MATE10, use MATE10 to try the market's reaction, if the market can accept this price, then the design of MATE11 and P11 will be based on carbon crystal batteries, and the future mobile phone will become thinner and lighter, and the USB interface will also be canceled.

Rebus's heart is bigger, and he directly asked for an order of two million, and the carbon crystal battery will be applied to Xiaomi Mi 6 and MAX2, in the competition with Huawei, Rebus is not sure of winning all, but in the international market, it should be no problem to join Huawei to kill Apple and Samsung.

Chen Nuo also gave his own business principles, "Bluestar Technology does not accept credit sales, and the factory will start production only after receiving the full payment." ”

Chen Nuo's words almost suffocated Uncle Yu and Rebus out of internal injuries, Huawei and Xiaomi used to have absolute dominance in negotiations, especially in negotiations with lithium battery manufacturers, usually pay 20% of the deposit, and wait for the other party to sell the mobile phone after delivery, before paying the remaining balance payment. This time, Bluestar Technology will directly receive the full payment before production.

Uncle Yu and Rebus calculated an account respectively, one million carbon crystal batteries need 300 million RMB, two million carbon crystal batteries need 600 million RMB, fortunately, the cash flow of the two companies is sufficient, in order to get the carbon crystal battery as soon as possible, the financial transfer will be directly notified after the contract is signed.

The 20,000 carbon crystal batteries that Bluestar Technology has produced have been divided up by Huawei and Xiaomi with 10,000 each.

Half a day later, Uncle Yu and Rebus walked out of the carbon crystal factory with a smile.

The media waiting at the door was looking forward to it, and when they saw the two heads of the house coming out, they hurried over to interview.

"Mr. Yu, have Huawei and Bluestar Technology reached a cooperation? When will the carbon crystal battery be used on the P11 at the beginning of next year? ”

"Mr. Lei, will the new generation of Xiaomi use carbon crystal batteries, and will the price be as close to the people as it is now?"

"May I ask the two CEOs, what is the situation inside the factory, can you describe it to the audience? Have carbon crystalline cells been mass-produced and are they expensive? ”

The media has so many questions to know that they are throwing one question after another.

Uncle Yu pressed his hand and said: "Here, on behalf of Huawei, I announce that Huawei has reached a cooperation agreement with Bluestar Technology, and the carbon crystal battery that everyone expects will be used in MATE10 at the earliest, and in the future, our MATE11 and P11 will be redeveloped according to the carbon crystal battery!" I believe that Huawei phones with carbon crystal batteries will definitely bring a better experience to consumers! ”

Rebus also hurried to steal the spotlight, "Xiaomi also reached an agreement with Bluestar Technology, we have preemptively ordered the first batch of two million carbon crystal batteries, in order to meet the needs of consumers for non-charging mobile phones, Xiaomi 6 and Xiaomi MAX2 will first improve the mobile phone, in order to ensure that the performance of the mobile phone remains unchanged, we will be equipped with the most advanced carbon crystal battery." I think that the first batch of 10,000 Xiaomi Mi 6 equipped with carbon crystal batteries will be launched to the market in two weeks at the earliest! ”

Two weeks later?!

After Rebus successfully stole the spotlight, the media cheered, they didn't expect the carbon crystal battery mobile phone to come out so soon!

Uncle Yu scolded secretly and said: "Huawei MATE10, carbon crystal battery version, the first batch of 10,000 units, will meet you next Saturday at the latest!" ”

If you are ruthless, I will be more ruthless than you!

The two giants answered reporters' questions outside the venue, and Chen Nuo urged the production line to start working at full speed to increase production in the factory, and the total order of 3 million pieces is not a small number.

Dai Yanfei was puzzled and said: "Mr. Chen, why don't we make our own carbon crystal battery mobile phones, but just be a battery supplier?" ”
