From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 474 Cooperation reached
The lithium-sulfur battery and the control model also represent that Lin Xiao's busy work has finally come to an end.

Then it was time to enjoy the hard-won rest while waiting for Academician Pang Wei and his new quantum computer to be built.

As for the four of Kang Chengning, although they did not provide much help during the research process, they also dealt with a lot of things during the experiment. Obviously Lin Xiao is also a generous person, so he also gave each of them Six-figure bonuses were offered.

As for the four people, they didn't think they provided much help, so they didn't expect to be able to get other rewards at the end.

Otherwise, if a student does research with his tutor and finally comes up with a heavyweight result, which is obviously the main credit of the tutor, but the student wants to share in the results because he is only responsible for doing some experiments. Part of this is obviously unreasonable.

So in the end they can still get a six-figure bonus, which is really a surprise for them.

Of course, this bonus is nothing to Lin Xiao, not to mention that he has become a person worth hundreds of millions relying on the dividends from the two chip companies, not to mention that he still has 5.00% of the shares of Jinwu Energy Group.

Although Jinwu Energy Group is not listed, the 5.00% stake is not covered just because the State Grid is fully incorporated, and the dividends that can be distributed every year are still immeasurable.

Of course, Jinwu Energy Group has not been formally established for more than a year, so Lin Xiao doesn't know how much money he will be able to share by then.

However, all in all, he is not short of money now, and the money he sent home alone has exceeded [-] million.

It's just that his parents are the kind of troublesome people, and they are still a little nostalgic, so apart from not having to worry about consumption in some daily expenses, there are still not many other consumptions such as housing and transportation.

Of course, Lin Xiao can't control too much about his parents' affairs, as long as people are alive and happy, and then ensure their health. For this reason, he has long asked his family members to have regular physical examinations every year.

Regular physical examinations are still necessary.

After all, Lin Xiao is not sure now whether he can ensure that he will not get sick in the future, or whether the health capsules that the system rewarded him at the beginning will always work, although as far as the current situation is concerned, he can still feel his body health.

"Of course, rest is also necessary, for two full weeks."

Lin Xiao, who returned to the residence, picked up Mimi who was still sleeping soundly, put it in his arms while rubbing it, and turned on the TV at the same time, preparing to watch a movie.

"Well...let me think about it, what should I watch? Let's watch The Lord of the Rings, I haven't seen it yet..."

Lin Xiao started watching a movie while talking. As for Mimi in his arms, she was lying safely in his arms, purring comfortably.

Of course, Lin Xiao wanted to rest for two weeks, but for the outside world, it was obviously not so easy.

The news that he successfully developed a lithium-sulfur battery after developing a proton battery soon spread like wildfire.

The shock that the proton battery has just been born to the world, as well as its advantages over Japanese hydrogen fuel cells, has been refreshed once again by this lithium-sulfur battery.

Although lithium-sulfur batteries are much inferior to proton batteries in terms of energy density, their cost is relatively low, and most importantly, they can be used in mobile devices.

It is obviously inconvenient to install proton batteries on mobile devices, because if the proton batteries are made small, the processing difficulty will be relatively high, but there is no such worry in electric vehicles, because the individual batteries are relatively large, so the processing difficulty Relatively small, basically the cost of materials occupies the bulk.

As a kind of lithium battery, lithium-sulfur battery, although it is an all-solid lithium battery, compared with ordinary lithium-ion batteries, the difficulty of processing still exists objectively, but it is also lower than that of proton batteries. The future of sulfur batteries is obviously to rule the mobile terminal market.

All in all, although there are certain conflicts between lithium-sulfur batteries and proton batteries, the areas of conflict are not direct.

Therefore, these two batteries are completely epoch-making technologies for the entire battery market, and they are dimensionality reduction blows for other battery technologies.

Ever since, all kinds of battery manufacturers have started to go crazy.

And this made Lin Xiao's originally planned vacation go to waste. Every day, a lot of people call him, such as domestic manufacturers such as Nanfu Battery, and foreign companies also have many For example, South Korea's LG and Samsung, etc., even people from Japan's Panasonic Group also begged to come to the door.

Of course, the current Panasonic Group has been reshuffled for a period of time after the head of the group died. Although it is still in the hands of the Panasonic family in the end, it is just that the new head is not Panasonic. Sincerely that line, but his cousin's father, that is, his uncle.

Of course, his uncle is not completely independent, and there are several patrons behind him.

So it is precisely because of this that Panasonic Group has the nerve to come to Lin Xiao to try the opportunity.

But obviously, Lin Xiao naturally rejected all of these people's approach. After all, these two technologies were promised at the beginning, and he reserved them for those two companies that are still assisting areas without electricity. .

What even puzzled him was why these two companies hadn't come to him while all the other companies came to him.

In fact, it's not that the two companies haven't come to him yet, but that the two companies still have concerns.

……

"Mr. Li, over the past few months, we have determined a full 73 billion to assist the construction of areas without electricity. This is really too big a burden for the company!"

In BYD's CEO office, a group of BYD executives found Li Cai and persuaded him.

Li Cai, who was sitting on the office chair, lowered his head, frowned, and said, "73 billion is only for the next four years, so don't worry about it now."

"But..." The others couldn't help shaking their heads.

73 billion, I don’t know how much it is in the bank every year. After all, they are public accounts, and the interest on the public account is more than that of the personal account. Of course, the money in the public account also has to pay taxes, but , it's better than spending it on a place that doesn't pay off at all, right?
After all, this is 73 billion!

At this time, another person shouted: "Mr. Li, I know what you are worried about. You are still worried about Chief Lin."

He said: "But Chief Lin has already developed two battery technologies. No matter which of these two technologies we get, we will make money, and now we don't have to worry about competing with Ningde. There's no need to worry, right?"

"And if we continue to invest money in the power aid plan in the future, the accounting department has already figured it out. Once the investment exceeds 90 billion within five years, there may be problems in our subsequent capital chain. At that time, we have to go to Looking for a bank loan; and if it exceeds 110 billion, we will have to lay off workers on a large scale and tighten the policy. What will happen by then is completely unimaginable!"

"At that time, we will have no money in our account, so what if we get Chief Lin's technology? We won't even have money to develop this technology, or build a factory, etc.!"

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Li Cai still did not show a worried expression, but said: "Don't worry so much, when we have this technology, we can stop our research and development investment in batteries before, and then transfer to the new technology, so your worry is completely unnecessary now."

"As for the problem of building the factory, with this new technology, some of our previous factories can be directly transformed to produce this new battery, so when it comes to building the factory, your worry is not A big problem."

"This……"

Hearing what Li Cai said, the people present didn’t know how to refute it. It sounded reasonable, but if the 73 billion they donated to charity can be used in turn to build factories or develop technologies, even if only one of them How much benefit will it bring to them by then?
But at this moment, Li Cai also expressed his worries.

"I know, I'm also very clear, I've thought about your worries these days, but can you make a guarantee? Does our Chief Lin think that we went to him so soon, Does it seem that we are too impatient?"

"This..." These people also hesitated, because obviously, they couldn't guarantee this kind of thing.

Of course, someone still said: "But some companies have already called Chief Lin?"

And Li Cai immediately asked a few questions:
"They made a phone call. That's their business. Did you see that Ningde made a call? No? Or have you heard these battery companies claim that they have reached a cooperation with Chief Lin?"

"Uh... no."

These people nodded again, indeed, none of these situations happened.

And if those other companies really reach a cooperation with Lin Xiao, I am afraid they will have to show it off the next day. Of course, the most important thing is that this will have a huge effect on raising the stock prices of these companies. Any battery company can resist such a temptation.

So they were all in trouble for a while.

Seeing their expressions, Li Cai smiled, then waved his hands and said: "There is an old saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I hope you can remember this sentence, or wait for Ning De Call first over there, or we will wait two weeks before calling, and the more we lose our composure at this time, the more likely we will fall short."

"Ok."

The CEO who saw them had already made a decision, and these people had no choice but to give up. Of course, it was only two weeks. Although it was still a relatively long time, it was the safest.

"Well, the power aid plan will continue as usual. In the last half month, we can burn another [-] million a day, and we will be able to earn all of this money back within a year. , a happy ending."

"In addition, don't always think that we have spent so much money, as if we have not received any benefits so far." Li Cai picked up a document and a letter from his desk, and handed to these subordinates.

"have a look."

These subordinates picked up the documents and letters suspiciously, and after looking at them for a while, surprise appeared on their faces.

"The higher-ups have been paying attention to us for so long?" the person who read the letter said in surprise.

Those who read the document were even more surprised: "State Grid... oh no, it's Jinwu Energy Group, who actually intends to cooperate with us in the construction of urban charging piles? There are even designated standards?"

Hearing the news, they suddenly changed from helpless acceptance to extreme joy and excitement.

Let's not talk about the concern of the above about them, but let's talk about the cooperation between Jinwu Energy Group and them on urban charging piles. This is definitely great news for them.

In the foreseeable future, urban charging piles will obviously become an important part of the urban landscape. After all, if you want to promote the development of new energy vehicles in the future, charging piles are definitely a rigid need.

Moreover, according to the existing information about lithium-sulfur batteries and proton batteries, these two batteries are batteries that can withstand high-power charging currents, so future charging piles must be able to adapt to this high-power charging. Ability, and at this time, standards are very important.

Once they can participate in the formulation of this standard, the benefits at that time are simply unimaginable.

As soon as they thought of this, all their worried thoughts just now disappeared, and they became extremely excited, and then pestered Li Cai to inquire about the details for a while, and then left Li Cai's office contentedly.

For them, the good news that Li Cai said hit their hearts completely, and broke all their previous thoughts.

And Li Cai shook his head with a smile after seeing the group of people leave.

This group of people, if you don't tell them some good news sometimes, you may have to go to the shareholders to sue him at that time.

He didn't believe that these people were really worried about the company.

No more thinking, he was the only one left in the office.

And there was a thoughtful expression on his face again.

Now that he has decided to ask Lin Xiao half a month later, what kind of answer will he get then?

Regarding this, he was still a little uneasy.

After all, this is an investment worth billions. Of course, he felt this kind of anxiety in his heart.

However, those ordinary methods cannot be used on Lin Xiao at all. According to the judgment after chatting with Lin Xiao at the beginning, the needs of ordinary people, such as money and pleasure, must not be used on Lin Xiao. If Lin Xiao used it, he would probably be sentenced to death directly.

Until the end, he took a deep breath, "Forget it, think about these things in half a month."

However, to his surprise, he had a conversation with Lin Xiaotong within half a month.

A few days later, a phone call rang Li Cai's cell phone.

When Li Cai saw the caller, surprise appeared on his face.

"Why is Chief Lin?"

Lin Xiao suddenly called him now?
Many possibilities came up in his mind in an instant, but Lin Xiao's call had already come, so he couldn't leave it alone.

So after thinking for a few seconds, he picked up his phone and connected the call.

"Chief Lin! Are you looking for me?"

"Hehe, if I don't look for you, don't you plan to look for me?"

Lin Xiao's words in the microphone made Li Cai stunned on the spot.

Then a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, which was almost the same as the feeling he had when he became the CEO, and even made him more excited.

"what do you mean?"

"The day after tomorrow, when I come to Shangjing, I invited you to have dinner with Mr. Kang from the Ningde era. By the way, let's talk about the battery that you care about most... Oh, maybe you don't care that much, otherwise If you don’t, you don’t need me to call.”

"You're joking! Of course we all care."

Li Cai smiled immediately.

"Then why didn't you call? All the companies that called me these days have gone to sea. Penguin Ali has called, as well as ExxonMobil, Apple, etc. from abroad. Just you I didn’t call the person who should have called the Ningde era.”

"This..." Li Cai said helplessly, "I think Chief Lin will test our patience at the end."

Lin Xiao was speechless immediately: "Do I seem to have so many eyes?"

"Haha, of course you are not, it was our misjudgment, misjudgment." Li Cai laughed.

"Okay, anyway, the notice has been given to you now, let's talk about other things when you arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I will be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Cai heaved a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart also fell.

In the end, he couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, he thought too much, probably because he had been in the commercial field for a long time, and his thoughts were all twists and turns. He originally thought that Lin Xiao was on the second floor. It turned out that people were actually on the first floor.

"Mr. Chief Scientist."

Shaking his head, he then called his secretary and asked him to book a ticket to go up next week.

……

At the same time, Lin Xiao who went to Beijing also put down his mobile phone.

"These businessmen always think too much about people."

Laughed, he didn't think much about doing this kind of quiz, the other party did their best in helping the areas without electricity, so there was no need for him to embarrass them at the end.

As for whether they really want to do their power aid plan or mine-chasing operation, using this point to ask two large companies is really embarrassing the moral sentiment of the companies.

Anyway, the 140 billion yuan invested by the two companies is all real money.

As for the others, he was really in no mood to ask any more.

Of course, he could have continued to wait until the two companies came to him and then told them. In this case, the two companies will definitely maintain their daily support in their power rescue plan and mine-chasing operation in the future. huge investment.

However, since he will be involved in the matter of quantum computers next time, he will have time at that time, so he has decided to finalize this matter as soon as possible.

As for whether the two companies are still willing to spend money on it in the future, he will not intervene. Each company has invested at least 70 billion. He feels that it is already a huge deal for the two private companies. .

"Okay, now it's time to call CATL."

Without further words, he picked up the phone again and dialed Kang Zheng's number.

As for the following conversation, it can't be said that it was exactly the same as Li Cai's conversation, it can only be said that it was half a point away. Except for the difference in phrases and sentences, there was almost no difference in what they wanted to say.

Obviously, this Kang Zheng's thoughts are similar to Li Cai's.

It wasn't until after hanging up the phone that Lin Xiao couldn't help feeling in his heart: "This is probably the unified mind of these big business executives."

……

Soon, the day after tomorrow, Li Cai and Kang Zheng also arrived at Lin Xiao's treat place as scheduled. After some discussions, BYD chose proton batteries, while CATL chose lithium-sulfur batteries.

There was no disagreement between the two families, and they readily agreed.

According to Lin Xiao's estimate, the two companies had already negotiated about yesterday, and they may have reached an agreement. After all, after mastering these two battery technologies, for the two companies, the cooperation will be win-win. In confrontation, either the winner takes all, or both lose, so they will only choose to cooperate with a high probability.

However, these have nothing to do with Lin Xiao, anyway, the final ownership of the technology is with him.

Then he talked with them about the distribution of benefits. Lin Xiao's request was very simple, 40.00% of the net profit of each battery, and he didn't ask for anything else.

In this regard, the two companies are also relieved, it is only net profit, if it is gross profit, they may be scolding, because their net profit is less than ten points than the average, if it is directly from the gross profit If they took a commission, it would simply kill them.

This is why Qualcomm is called a patent hooligan, because it draws directly from the gross profit. For example, how much does it cost to sell a mobile phone?

All in all, the 40.00% net profit that Lin Xiao wanted was just a little bit ahead of their bottom line.

The authorization period is five years.

The five-year authorization period can also be regarded as Lin Xiao's test of whether they can ensure that the funds for aiding areas without electricity can be put in place in the future.

"Then, thank you Chief Lin!"

"Well, this is what you deserve for keeping your promise, and I won't break my word." Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

"Our power aid plan will definitely go on forever."

"So does our Thunder Chase."

"Ok."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and shook hands with the two.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

The bosses of the two companies also smiled and nodded.

And soon, the news that the two companies had obtained authorization from Lin Xiao spread quickly, and the world battery market was also shaken by this news.
