The so-called cooperation
"What do you think about this matter, just say what you think."

Fuzhou.

Ningwang new energy headquarters building.

In the conference room, Zeng Yansheng, who was the chairman, sat at the main seat, looked around at the company's core personnel on both sides of the desk, and asked everyone for their opinions.

As a leader in the battery industry, Ningwang New Energy's assets have already exceeded one trillion yuan.

It was a well-deserved industry hegemony before.

But since the launch of Xingyuan Battery's solid-state power battery, their market share has been severely impacted, and their reputation has been greatly reduced due to the problems of sodium-ion batteries, and they are now in a very embarrassing position.

If the battery cannot be sold, the production base has to reduce production or even stop production.

After all, all new energy vehicle brands now use solid-state power batteries. If traditional lithium batteries are still used, they will not be able to survive in the market.

This makes their user group can only change from a new energy vehicle company to an electric vehicle company.

The production capacity of the main Xingyuan battery is limited, and it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of so many charging centers. In this case, even many well-known new energy vehicle brands cannot get enough solid-state batteries, let alone the common electric vehicles. car company.

In desperation, several well-known domestic electric vehicle companies can only still use traditional lithium batteries, and they have become customers of Ningwang New Energy.

But you must know that Ningwang New Energy has provided power batteries to many overseas auto brand companies before, so there is no way to satisfy this market share.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is very appropriate to say that he is lingering.

of course.

Ningwang New Energy is also actively looking for new ways out.

In addition to wanting to enter other fields, it is also actively conducting technical research on solid-state batteries.

Strive to reduce production costs as soon as possible.

In fact, it is not that they cannot produce solid-state batteries, but the technical level they have mastered is not enough, and the production cost of batteries is much higher than that of Xingyuan's batteries.

That alone doomed their batteries to failure.

What's more, Future Technology has made such a big effort to build charging centers and battery replacement stations in major cities across the country, completely rewriting the problem of difficult charging of new energy vehicles.

In this way, if users want to enjoy this kind of service of replacing batteries at any time without wasting time, they can only buy cars equipped with Xinyuan solid-state power batteries.

But what Zeng Yansheng never expected was that in this situation, Xingyuan Battery suddenly took the initiative to invite them to discuss cooperation.

The purpose of which makes people have to think deeply.

Whoever made the two companies have been in a state of competition before, Ningwang New Energy fell from the altar, and was completely defeated by Xingyuan Battery.

Although in the final analysis, it is because of their own technology, but under normal circumstances, the two parties should not have any intersection.

What's more, it is this kind of initiative to invite to discuss cooperation.

It's hard not to suspect that future technology may have some special purpose.

Zeng Yansheng also thought of this, so he didn't rush to reply to Xingyuan Battery, and finally held this high-level meeting temporarily.

Hope to be able to think broadly.

Find an appropriate response.

At this time, as Zeng Yansheng's voice fell, other people in the office seemed to open up their chatterboxes and expressed their opinions one after another.

"At present, Future Technology is looking for us to actively cooperate. I am afraid that the weasel has no good intentions to give the chicken New Year's greetings. We must make corresponding preparations in advance."

"Not really."

"I'm afraid I can't agree with your remarks. I think that Future Technology may really want to cooperate with this move."

"What can they cooperate with us? In my opinion, the other party is interested in our production capacity and wants to acquire our company."

"According to the news, Future Technology has gradually expanded to overseas markets recently. In the face of this huge demand, their supply of solid-state batteries will definitely be very insufficient, so it is normal to have the idea of ​​​​purchasing our company."

"This time, Biati is also invited. It seems that the other side really has a lot of appetite."

Zeng Yansheng listened to everyone's words. Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became depressed, he suddenly realized that he could not continue to keep silent.

So he immediately opened his mouth and interrupted everyone's discussion.

"okay."

"No matter what ideas we have in terms of future technology, we have to go to Binjiang City this time."

Today's future technology is also a giant in the world, and it is not something they Ningwang New Energy can offend.

Although Zeng Yansheng had no intention of selling the company, he had to attend the invitation.

Otherwise, what is reasonable becomes unreasonable.

really.

When Zeng Yansheng made a decision, the others immediately fell silent.

It just showed a complex expression, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

But just when Zeng Yansheng was about to make a final decision on this matter, Zhou Jia who was in the crowd suddenly said, "Chairman, or leave it to me this time."

As the person in charge of the sodium-ion battery project, Zhou Jia had a high status in the company before.

After all, at that time, traditional lithium batteries completely lost their competitiveness compared to Xingyuan's solid-state batteries, and sodium-ion batteries, which were in the research stage, were the most promising to defeat solid-state batteries and reverse the situation.

Zeng Yansheng naturally attached great importance to him.

However, the gap between the reality and the ideal is too great. There was a problem with the first cooperation between Na-ion battery and Pinguo, which directly ruined the value of this product.

For this reason, they also fought a long lawsuit with Pingguo, which caused serious losses to themselves.

Under normal circumstances, the battery researched by Zhou Jia has such a big problem that he will basically not be allowed to stay in the company.

However, in view of the situation of Ningwang New Energy and the need for Zhou Jia to continue to solve the battery problem, this allowed him to maintain his original position.

But the right to speak has dropped a lot.

Perhaps because he wants to be valued by the company again, Zhou Jia has been looking for opportunities to express himself.

This time the company was suddenly invited to cooperate with Future Technology, and he always felt that there might be a turning point, so he took the initiative to say this.

Hope to serve as the representative of the company to Binjiang City.

However, in the end he was rejected.

"Although we are in a competitive relationship with Xingyuan Battery, due respect still needs to be done. This time I can only go there in person."

When Zeng Yansheng heard Zhou Jia's suggestion, he shook his head and refused without any hesitation.

He has already got the latest news, that Biati, who was invited together with Ningwang New Energy, is the chairman who personally went to Binjiang City to accept the appointment.

If they only send representatives, there will inevitably be a feeling that future technology is not in their eyes.

In case the future technology side is upset, at that time, maybe even if the other party has no idea of ​​acquiring Ningwang New Energy, they will seriously think about it.

But just when Zhou Jia was disappointed by this, a familiar voice sounded beside his ear.

"The details of this cooperation are unknown, or you can go with me."

It may be that taking a professional technician with him will play a role in some occasions, Zeng Yansheng added this sentence.

But no matter what Zeng Yansheng thought, Zhou Jia was undoubtedly very excited when he heard the news.

Hastily and firmly assured: "Don't worry, Chairman, I will be ready."

The other people in the conference room saw this scene, although their expressions changed slightly, but they remained silent in the end, and did not raise any objections.

that's it.

After the meeting is over.

Zeng Yansheng made active preparations, and the next day he was invited to bring Zhou Jia and his secretary assistant to Binjiang City.

Originally, Zeng Yansheng was full of doubts about this so-called cooperation, especially after arriving in Binjiang City, he felt that something was wrong.

Because in his opinion, since it was Jia Zhongjie who was in charge of the Xingyuan battery business who proposed the cooperation, the meeting place should be at the Xingyuan battery production base in Binjiang City.

In fact, they were taken to the Longfor High-tech Park of Future Technology.

……

"Chairman Wang."

"You have always cooperated with Xingyuan Battery. I don't know why Vice President Jia invited us here this time?"

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the reception room of the Battleship Building, Zeng Yansheng immediately took the initiative to communicate with Wang Fu, the chairman of Biati, after he saw him come here.

I hope I can get more information, so that I won't be too passive when I wait.

It's a pity that Wang Fu doesn't have much more information than him.

"I'm also rather surprised about this matter. I'm afraid I won't find out until Vice President Jia comes over."

Although Biati also has a battery production base, after all, the car brand is the big one, and thanks to the cooperation with Xingyuan Battery, it has not been greatly affected.

And they have been using Xingyuan solid-state power batteries for a long time, and they have been very smooth in the middle. Now they are suddenly called by Xingyuan battery, and he also has a question mark in his heart.

So after briefly responding to Zeng Yansheng, he sat there and waited patiently.

Soon.

Just as the door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside, under the gaze of the two of them, two figures stepped in.

But it is not Jia Zhongjie who is in the front, but Xu Lei, the president of Future Technology.

"Mr. Xu!"

Seeing such a scene, Wang Fu and Zeng Yansheng stood up almost at the same time, and their words were full of surprise and surprise.

I really didn't expect that it was Xu Lei who proposed this cooperation.

Seeing the performance of the two of them, Xu Lei immediately greeted him warmly: "Please take a seat, it is indeed my intention to invite the two of you this time, but I still hope that you can seriously consider this cooperation. "

At this point in the matter, Zeng Yansheng couldn't bear it anymore, and asked almost the moment he sat down again.

"Mr. Xu."

"I don't know what kind of cooperation you are talking about?"

Seeing that Zeng Yansheng was so interested, Xu Lei didn't continue to play tricks, and directly explained his purpose.

"it's actually really easy."

"We hope that you can produce solid-state power batteries for Xingyuan Battery."

"I think you all know the next layout of future technology. The market demand for solid-state power batteries will be a very large number."
