433 Opportunity in the field of batteries

"Then I'll follow you to Hankou City?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Huh? No, you still have so many careers in Hong Kong? Liu Xiaoli's original frustrated mood has suddenly turned into a startle, but it seems to have brought a little surprise.

"Someone will take care of these businesses for me, besides, if I go to Hankou City, I can also communicate with the leaders of your city, and it's no problem to invest in something else, but can I help you build the opera house again?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Alright, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xiaoli also knew that Chen Zhiwen was joking, and said: "It's not good for me to tell the director of the opera house directly that I won't dance, and the director and my father are friends." ”

"That's no problem, I'll ask TVB to send you an invitation, you can be here in Hong Kong, I can prepare a dance base for you in the highest place in Central!" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, it's not that I don't want to stay, but it's not very convenient, so it's easy to do.

"No, no, just find a place." Liu Xiaoli hurriedly said that she has been in Hong Kong for a month, but she knows how unfortunate the housing prices in Central are, and I heard that it was more expensive at this time last year, which made her a little unimaginable.

"We'll talk about it then!" Chen Zhiwen said, staying, it's hard to say whether he will dance in the future.

"Then I'll follow the team back to Hankou first, and you'll send an invitation after a while, and I also need to accompany my family in Hankou City for a while." Liu Xiaoli said.

"Okay, but your family can actually come to Hong Kong and live wherever they want." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, although residential houses are not the mainstream industry he once had, but if it is a little involved, there are many of them, and there are his villas in every corner of Hong Kong.

"They probably won't come to Hong Kong." Liu Xiaoli said.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay to have fun." Chen Zhiwen said that the average elderly are really reluctant to move, one is habit, and the second is the current mainland, where dialects are still very popular, and there is no way to live in a different place.

……

The next day, Chen Zhiwen personally sent Liu Xiaoli and her party to the airport, although a group of little girls at the Hankou Opera House knew that there was a person who was very close to Liu Xiaoli, but they had never seen it, but today they can be regarded as seeing it.

This made Liu Xiaoli a little embarrassed, Chen Zhiwen was also very generous, and arranged a few people to give various gifts to everyone on the spot, which is not very valuable, mainly some various delicacies, such as chocolate, toffee, etc., these are still light luxuries in China, and ordinary people can't buy them.

There is also a set of one person under the United States' handheld,This thing is not in China,Only a few friendship stores in a few big cities may have a few,At present, the domestic control of imported materials for non-essential goods is very strict,Not to mention the game console that is considered a "plaything".

When the gifts arrived, everyone naturally became very polite, and shouted that if Chen Zhiwen would play in Hankou City later, they would definitely entertain them. At the same time, they all envy Liu Xiaoli, although it is a bit clichΓ©, but it is normal for any girl to want to find a handsome and golden.

"Is this battery useless when it runs out?" When waiting for the plane, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but play a few games of magic cubes, which was too fun for her, but the battery of this handheld soon showed that it was dead.

"I'll see." Chen Zhiwen took the game console, looked at it for a while, and said: "Generally, two batteries can be used for a long time, and the batteries in this set may be a little leaky because they have been installed in it for a long time, and I have prepared some batteries for all of you, just change them." ”

"Is this useless when it's gone?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"It's useless when these run out." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "But now Japan is researching a new battery that can be recharged." ”

In fact, the simplest lead-acid battery can also be recharged, but that is a large battery, a small No. 7 battery, not that the technology can't do it, but the mainstream of the market is to replace it when it runs out, and most of the electronic products that consume power are currently directly connected to the power supply, portable only calculators, handhelds, portable music players, etc., these power consumption is not very much, and the price is much higher than ordinary batteries, you can afford to buy, and generally don't care about a little battery money.

Only when the computing power of the chip is getting higher and higher, and the development of various portable electronic products is becoming more and more power-consuming, the rechargeable battery will become popular, and even the later charging method will be directly placed on the device, and the battery does not need to be removed.

"Can't you buy this kind of battery in China? I remember that there are domestic exports? The supplier of our product is a battery supplier in Yuezhou City. Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Yes, there are, but the price is very expensive, and most people are reluctant to buy it." Liu Xiaoli said: "And this kind of small battery is very rare, most of the batteries I see are the kind of batteries in the flashlight, big ones." ”

"That's right, it's okay, I'll send you some later." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Obviously, the domestic economic environment does not support the existence of a large number of portable electronic products, and it is estimated that scientific research institutions or schools will have some calculators, and others are not necessities.

In this case, although the small battery can be produced, it may be mainly for export, only the large battery needs to be used in a practical flashlight, and it will be distributed nationwide, and the 7th, even if it is paved, it is estimated that few people will buy it, so naturally there will be none.

In fact, it is similar in the world, not a technical problem, but a market demand problem, and it will take a few more years, at least at the end of the 80s, to increase this demand rapidly.

"That's good!" Liu Xiaoli nodded and said with a smile: "I estimate that this game console, not only can we play it ourselves, but there will also be a bunch of other people who want to play, and this electricity must be running out quickly." ”

"Happiness naturally needs to be shared?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, playing fun games alone, in fact, it is not interesting, Chen Zhiwen had a lot of experience when he was a child in later generations, bringing many children to his own home, and then playing together, or letting them watch you play, these children's expectant eyes, the attitude of wanting to play, will make people happy!

Perhaps, this is pretending! It's so cool to be envied by others.

After a while, when it was time to get on the plane, Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "If you want to come over next time, I will arrange for my plane to pick you up?" ”

"No, it's too conspicuous, and the airport in Hankou can't stop such a big plane!" Liu Xiaoli hurriedly shook her head and said.

"Haha, that's okay, next time I go abroad to play, we'll make my plane again." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

……

After seeing the Cathay Pacific Airways plane take off through the glass, under Chen Zhiwen's signal, a group of people around him prepared to go home.

During this time, Chen Zhiwen's life was relatively casual, and he basically didn't ask too much about the company's affairs, at most, he just learned about some major things, and his team began to gradually mature, and many things could be done by themselves.

After returning to the Galaxy Building, Chen Zhiwen called Midea's Lei Shengli and He Guoyuan, who was in charge of Midea's home appliance business.

Chen Zhiwen asked, "How is the Photoshop project?" ”

"Mr. Chen, we have set up a team in the United States and have reached an agreement with Disney to help us improve the functionality of this software with their experience in various needs. Next, it is necessary for the technical team to continue research and development. Lei Shengli replied.

"It's all an American team?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Not all, I also sent more than 100 software engineers from Hong Kong, and I also recruited some Chinese or Chinese engineers and even student interns in the United States." Lei Shengli paused and said: "At the beginning, I originally planned to let the Hong Kong team try, but then I found that it was not possible, one is inconvenient to communicate with Disney, and the second is that there are too few relevant talents, even if we send people to the United States, they are basically assistants, and the main process is still responsible for the United States." ”

"Well, don't worry about this, Hong Kong's population base is here, as long as you can do it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, if it weren't for the existence of beauty, the current gap between Hong Kong's housing prices and low-end manufacturing industries, powerful talents would either change careers or go overseas, and then the next layer would be completely useless.

In the future, even if you want to not rely on overseas for all kinds of R&D of Midea Group, you can only count on the mainland, and at many levels, as long as the cultivation is in place, the talents in the mainland are no worse than those in Europe and the United States.

"Deep Sea University of Science and Technology, it should be about to open, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Yes, in September this year, it is about to start, and the score line of Shenzhen University of Science and Technology is not low, second only to high-end universities in big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai, and because we still have subsidies and part-time job opportunities for poor students, and there is also the opportunity to come to Hong Kong directly in the future, many students who could have gone to Tsinghua University and Peking University have also run to our side." He Guoyuan said with a smile.

At present, in addition to Midea's home appliance business, he also manages things in the mainland in a unified manner, although the school donated by the boss of Shenzhen University of Science and Technology, although it belongs to the mainland, they can still participate in some of the most basic management, so they also know a lot of the situation of the university, plus various benefits, in fact, Midea is also providing.

"That's good, there is no need to save on grants, especially for some students with excellent grades, if the family conditions are not good, it is free, and we will continue to absorb these top students into the company for training, which is the foundation of our beautiful future." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Understood." He Guoyuan said.

"One more thing, the batteries of our handheld are all disposable, right? Do you think you should consider switching to rechargeable mode? Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Rechargeable? This will increase some of our costs, but the impact is not very large, but the practicality should not be too strong, right? Our customers also generally change the batteries themselves. Lei Shengli replied.

"I know this, but in the future, we will have more and more handhelds, or in the future, the chip technology will be more mature, our games can be integrated in a card, then the user's time to use the handheld will increase, and the same is true for other electronic products, all kinds of innovative electronic toys and tools, all need batteries, and disposable batteries will definitely be inconvenient and insufficient in the future, so I think this will also be a big blue ocean market." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Chen Sheng means that we want to make our own batteries?" Lei Shengli asked.

"Yes, but again, it is impossible to count on Hong Kong for R&D." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "Cooperate with the mainland, as far as I know, the mainland has been developing batteries for a long time, several research bases, but now there may still be a shortage of money, you look for the right one, and then see if you can poach people from here, and set up our own research and development department in Shenhai City, focusing on the research and development of lithium batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are currently relatively famous in the world, maybe we can also get a piece of the pie." ”
