Chapter 201: The Former First Brother
In the next month, Kangchi began to enter the high-intensity work of eating and living in the company.
However, for convenience, he asked Zhang Qing to arrange a living room at the back of his office, and this mode of work was almost inconvenient for him.
He really regards the company as his home......
In the research and development process of sodium batteries, Kangchi did not have to get samples in the laboratory first like traditional battery research and development, which was a bit redundant for him.
He directly chose to build the blueprint of the production line.
came up to carry out mass production experiments, and it is estimated that he is the only one in the world who dares to do this......
It's just that this is still his own company, and it's his own money that is burned, even if the people below have opinions, they can only bury them in their hearts and be obedient, otherwise Kangchi will have to get out of the way if he says a word.
Yiyantang, it's so cool.
Thanks to the drawing efficiency of the plotter, Kangchi was particularly active in the process of rubbing the production line this time, and basically all the production line equipment was personally responsible for the final assembly.
After the final assembly, he didn't care whether it was okay or not, and directly threw it to Yan Hui for testing, and the results of each test were not surprisingly in line with the technical requirements put forward by Kangchi in the project planning.
This made Yan Hui deeply feel once again, what is called a monster!
Obviously, others may not be able to make things in the laboratory, but this guy will directly manufacture them in batches for you by building production equipment.
Just ask you if you are convinced?
However, a battery production line has to go through more than 20 processes, plus upstream raw material production equipment, and there are hundreds of types of equipment that need to be used.
Naturally, it is impossible for Kangchi to build each of them by itself, and most of the equipment is actually purchased, and then improved and debugged to make it meet the standard of producing sodium batteries.
Even if they have to be made by themselves, most of the parts and components are still outsourced if they can be outsourced, and they can be made by themselves if they can't be outsourced, giving full play to the advantages of China's huge and perfect industrial system.
Although in the past month, the entire R&D department has not even made a semi-finished battery,
But with the gradual improvement of the production line, just like repairing the water pipe, everyone can vaguely feel that the time when they have built the entire water pipe and unscrewed the faucet to release the water is getting closer and closer.
I just don't know, this water quality, whether it works......
In addition to the R&D department in full swing to recommend sodium battery projects, Zhang Qing's battery swap station project, after getting a loan of 300 billion yuan, also started at full power, quickly recruited troops, and began to lay out nationwide.
In order to cooperate with their battery swap strategy, the Energy Bureau is not ambiguous.
First of all, the power grid company has signed a 30-year energy storage agreement with Datang Heavy Industries, promising to give Datang Heavy Industries a 3-year discount on the valley electricity price of the battery swap station project, which will be discounted by 3 on the basis of the usual electricity price in various places, and the average price per kilowatt-hour is only 0.16 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
In addition to 22:30 in the evening to 8:00 the next day, an additional 11:00-14:00 noon is added, which is a full 12.5 hours of valley time.
In terms of three barrels of oil, almost 5,000 gas stations with high vacancy rates due to the dense network were directly transferred to Datang Heavy Industries.
Although there is no document issued in black and white, judging from the abnormal attitude of the three barrels of oil and the power grid company, even if the leaders of various places are fools, they can feel the strangeness revealed by this incident.
In just one month, Datang Heavy Industries signed the initial planning of 30,000 battery swap station outlets with the assistance of three barrels of oil.
Among them, there are 4,000 high-speed service area outlets, basically every other service area, there is a battery swap station, and the distance between the two battery swap stations is not more than 100 kilometers.
The technical standards and design schemes of battery swap stations and batteries, Kangchi is mainly handed over to Yan Hui's team to be responsible, he was originally engaged in precision equipment, for this kind of work involving precise docking battery swapping, it is not difficult to get started.
After conducting an in-depth investigation and analysis of NIO's battery swap station, Yan Hui first preliminarily formulated a set of battery standards, and then asked Zhang Qing to go to Jianghu City, Jiangbei Province, with this standard and Kangchi's requirements, to find Qirui Automobile.
Because of the cooperation with SAIC, Qirui once had a well-known car repair queue, but with their strong will and the improvement of product quality, they not only passed the most difficult start-up period, but also became the first brother of domestic cars for a time.
But since 2012, Qirui has been going downhill, gradually distancing itself from the first-echelon independent brands such as Chang'an, Great Wall, and BYD, and its domestic market share is getting smaller and smaller.
On the list of monthly vehicle sales, their best-selling model, the Tiggo 8, often fails to even squeeze into the top 30.
Qi Rui is old.
This old embodiment is reflected in many places.
It is said that Qi Rui is like a science and engineering man in his own brand, he only knows how to ponder technology, and this concept makes them unable to keep up with the marketing methods of the times.
Even if the product power is actually very good, the means of marketing are always one step slower, and even often make jokes and self-destruct the image.
The concept is old-fashioned, the marketing is not good, and the design is old-fashioned, how can you play with others?
If you can't play, you won't have money, and if you don't have money, you won't be able to develop new technologies, which will lead them to be worse than fuel vehicles on the track of new energy development.
However, fortunately, in recent years, through their export strategy, several main fuel vehicles have achieved very bright results in overseas markets, and they are not too bad.
But after all, he is the former king, as long as there is a chance, who doesn't want to come to the return of the king of Bo?
When Xie Jingsen, chairman of Qirui, received the strategic cooperation invitation of Datang Heavy Industries, and learned that Datang Heavy Industries had an initial investment scale of 300 billion yuan, he was shocked.
At the same time, he immediately realized that this was likely to be their chance to return to disruption in the domestic market!
The only pity is that their role this time is OEM design and manufacturing.
Zhang Qing saw the gains and losses in Xie Jingsen's eyes, so he immediately added:
"If you think our plan is feasible and optimistic about our model, you can also choose to launch Qirui's own tram separation car in accordance with our battery standards and enjoy our battery swap service."
After hearing this, Xie Jingsen hesitated.
After all, no one knows if this plan will work, and the risk is the lowest when it comes to being a foundry and using other people's money to test the waters.
If it works well, it's not too late for them to enter the game on their own.
"I'll think about it seriously, but in the early stage, maybe it's a good choice to help you OEM."
Zhang Qing nodded, and did not force it.
Next, she conveyed the design requirements put forward by Kangchi, and then began to discuss trivial matters such as design fees, OEM fees, and drafting cooperation contracts......
