Black technology: starting from ten thousand times faster

Chapter 70 The Shock of the Hengde Era

Hengde Times, as the world's largest power battery industry leader with the highest market share, they invest a lot of money in the research and development of power batteries every year, and they also pay close attention to the dynamics of the battery industry.

At the beginning of the Apocalypse Technology conference, when Su Xin announced that he had developed a solid-state battery, someone reported the news to his superiors, which quickly attracted the attention of the high-level.

In just 5 minutes, this news shocked all the senior management of Hengde Era.

All executives, including chairman Zeng Daqun, held a video conference immediately, while continuing to pay attention to the press conference of Apocalypse Technology, while discussing the authenticity of solid-state battery technology, and discussing countermeasures at the same time.

After they watched the test video shown by Su Xin, several senior executives were silent.

The various data of Raytheon batteries are not much different from the data of solid-state batteries calculated by experiments by several top car companies, which is not surprising.

The most important thing is that in the test video released later by Suxin, the capacity, volume, weight, safety, and high and low temperature tolerance of Thor's battery have indeed perfectly realized these data.

This shows that the solid-state battery technology that Su Xin said is indeed true!

This also means that, as the world's first solid-state battery, the emergence of Raytheon battery will crush all other power batteries, and it will completely wipe out the semi-solid battery they have spent a lot of money developing in the past few years.

This kind of loss is almost a devastating blow to the Hengde era.

The most important thing is that even though the market is bragging about how long it will take for solid-state batteries to produce energy, ordinary people think that solid-state batteries are not far away from everyone, but in fact, only senior industry insiders like them know that the current research goals of major car companies are only semi-solid batteries.

This is the transition stage between liquid and solid state, and there is still one level gap from the real solid-state battery.

They didn't even have a mature research on semi-solid state, so Apocalypse Technology directly produced an all-solid state battery, which made them feel desperate.

Even if the technology of Apocalypse Technology is always stagnating, they will have to spend three to five years and invest huge sums of money in continuous research before they can catch up.

And that's just catching up.

Also consider that in the period of three to five years, Apocalypse's market share, cost control, supplier management, sales channels, volume, etc. may have already developed to the top in the world. With all the advantages combined, even if they develop new products a few years later, they will not have any competitiveness.

What's more, this is the premise that Apocalypse Technology's technology has been standing still.

But will Apocalypse stand still?
impossible!
With the existence of Su Xin, Apocalypse Technology will not stand still, but will maintain an extremely terrifying research speed, and the technology will continue to improve, so that no one can see the hope of competition.

This is where the executives of the Hengde era really feel desperate.

Zeng Daqun said in a hoarse voice:

"Everyone, the solid-state battery technology of Apocalypse Technology can basically be confirmed to be true. Since it cannot be avoided, then we have to find a way to deal with it."

"Everyone is talking about their opinions, what should we do next?"

In the video, the rest of the executives all looked solemn, thinking silently.

At this time, one of them said:
"I don't think you need to be too pessimistic. After all, even if Suxin's solid-state batteries are really energy-produced, the output is bound to be low. Coupled with the initial cost gap, at most it can only seize a small part of the mid-to-high-end market. It is impossible to squeeze out all our living space in a short time."

"So, we can compete in a wrong place, cut prices first, and try to survive in the low-end market. At the same time, we can cut off all current R&D projects, concentrate all R&D efforts, find a suitable new track, and look for opportunities to overtake on corners."

"This is our only chance."

Another executive's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "That's right, I almost forgot, after all, Su Xin has just entered the new energy battery industry. Although he probably already has a factory now, the output will definitely not be so high."

"As long as its output is not high, it will not pose much threat to us in the short term."

"Even if his output increases rapidly and he continues to seize the market, he will kill other manufacturers first, and it will not be our turn so soon."

"In other words, as long as Suxin can't occupy all the markets, there will always be room for us to survive in this huge auto market."

"If you can survive, you will have a chance to fight back."

"Although these words are somewhat demoralizing, we have to admit that we are indeed lagging behind now. We can only seek survival first and then seek development."

These words made the other executives calm down a lot.

At first, they were all so shocked by the sudden appearance of solid-state battery technology that their brains couldn't turn around. Now that they think about it carefully, the situation is indeed not as critical as imagined.

After all, no matter how advanced Suxin's technology is, if the output is not enough, at most it will seize a very small part of the market.

The remaining [-]% of the market is still occupied by other manufacturers.

and.

As with any product, the most important thing is the price.

As a new technology product, solid-state batteries must be priced much higher than their products, which gives them opportunities for misplaced competition.

As the power battery manufacturer with the highest market share in the current Hengde era, there will be no major survival crisis in a short period of time.

As long as the research and development direction is adjusted in time and the operation strategy is adjusted, it is still very likely to retain a considerable part of the market.

When several high-level executives were discussing the countermeasures, in the live broadcast screen, all the test videos were finally played on the big screen behind Su Xin.

I saw Su Xin walking back to the middle of the host stage, raised the microphone, and said confidently:

"I believe everyone has seen the test data of Thor's battery. Next, it should be the data that many people are most concerned about..."

"price."

Su Xin pressed the remote control again.

The screen switched, and the big screen displayed the price numbers of several liquid lithium batteries from other suppliers, and the bottom was Raytheon batteries, but the price numbers behind were represented by four question marks.

"If you are an industry insider, you should have a general understanding of the battery supply prices of various power battery manufacturers. I will simply mention a few with relatively high market share here."

"For example, the supply quotation for Moudi's card battery is about 620 yuan per kilowatt-hour."

"For example, the supply quotation for the ternary lithium battery of the second-generation CPT technology in a certain era is about 700 yuan per kilowatt-hour."

"There are several other major manufacturers, and the battery prices are almost in this range."

"As for the price of the Thor battery..."

"As we all know, when a new technology is launched, its production line needs to be rebuilt, the process flow needs to be redesigned, the yield rate will be very low, and the cost of the supply chain is also difficult to control. In addition to the huge R&D cost, all these factors will greatly increase the production cost of the new technology."

"So, what do you think the supply price of Raytheon batteries will be?"

When it came to the end, Su Xin sold a trick and looked at the people at the scene with a smile.
