Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Only in the company canteen, which is not looking to make money, can the price of food be so cheap. The card that the canteen chef mentioned refers to the employee card of Ruida Automobile Factory. This card contains the identity information of the employee and can be used to swipe the door, to punch in at work, and to pay for meals in the canteen. The company will deposit 300 yuan of meal allowance into each employee's employee card every month, which is also one of the company's benefits.

Qiao Ruida was not an employee of Ruida Automobile Factory, so of course he did not have an employee card. He reached into his pocket and was about to take out his wallet to pay in cash. Shao Heping, who was behind him, had already handed his employee card to the chef and said, "Please use my card. We factory leaders get 600 yuan in meal allowance every month, which is too much for one person to finish. Mr. Qiao, please help me share the burden."

"Okay, then I'll swipe your card and consider it your treat." With someone helping to pay, Qiao Ruida didn't have to pay cash and saved the trouble of getting change.

After preparing the food, Qiao Ruida found an empty table nearby, sat down and started eating. To his surprise, the food not only looked good, but also tasted quite good. Although it was not as delicious as the food made by the chefs of star-rated hotels, it was much better than the big pot dishes served to students in the university cafeteria.

Shao Heping took the meal tray and sat opposite Qiao Ruida. Seeing that he was eating happily, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it, Mr. Qiao? The food here is not worse than the food in the cafeteria of the group headquarters, right?"

Qiao Ruida gave a thumbs up and praised: "The ingredients are genuine, and the chef's skills are very good. The meals they make are good enough to open a restaurant, and are no worse than the meals in the headquarters cafeteria."

"Hehe, I think so too. We have put in a lot of effort to run the canteen well and ensure that the workers have enough to eat. All ingredients are the best on the market, and the chefs are professional chefs we hired at high salaries. Each of them has a chef certificate of level three or above and has more than three years of experience as a head chef. With such strict requirements, the meals are of course delicious." Shao Heping introduced quite complacently.

"This money is well spent. If the canteen is well run, the workers will enjoy the food, their work enthusiasm will be improved, and their work efficiency will be improved. In the same amount of time, more tasks can be completed, so both the company and individuals can benefit from it. The workers' sense of identity with the company is built up bit by bit in this way."

After lunch, Qiao Ruida and Shao Heping returned to the auditorium to continue preparing for the afternoon press conference. There was still more than an hour before the press conference began, and some local reporters from Decheng City had already arrived at the Ruida Automobile Factory. In order to prevent these reporters from being bored and waiting for so long, Shao Heping arranged for several staff members to take them to visit the automobile production workshop. While everyone else was busy, Qiao Ruida, the big boss, became the only idle person at the scene. He simply hid in the backstage of the auditorium, found a chair and sat down, picked up his phone, logged into Weibo, edited a promotional article about the upcoming Ruida Automobile new car press conference and sent it out.

The number of fans on Qiao Ruida’s personal Weibo account has officially exceeded 4000 million, making him the number one on Weibo. Moreover, the activity of these fans is quite high, which is completely different from those dead fans that some entertainment stars and operating accounts bought with money and never log in once in a thousand years. With such a Weibo account, the publicity effect of posting advertisements and soft articles is naturally very good, which can be seen from the endless private messages of commercial cooperation in the background of Weibo. Some wealthy businesses have already raised the advertising fees to millions. This is the face of the number one on Weibo. If you want to monetize your popularity, you can easily earn tens of millions a month. But Qiao Ruida is not short of money at all, so he naturally will not accept these commercial promotion cooperation.

Most of the content posted by Qiao Ruida on his personal Weibo is his insights and experiences in study and work. Occasionally, when he makes a breakthrough in research, he will also post a message on Weibo to celebrate. There is almost no content involving advertising. Only when his company is going to hold a press conference or a new product is launched, Qiao Ruida’s personal Weibo will cooperate to do some publicity. Just like this time, the new car press conference of Ruida Automobile is about to be held. Qiao Ruida is now posting news on Weibo to attract the attention of netizens and drive traffic to the live broadcast room of the press conference.

After Qiao Ruida posted the message, the response from netizens was indeed enthusiastic. In just two minutes, the number of likes exceeded 500, the number of reposts exceeded , and the number of comments exceeded . Even Qiao Ruida, who was well-informed, was surprised by the enthusiasm of netizens. Today was not the weekend, so why were there so many idle people on the Internet?

"It's rare that the blogger actually updates during the day. I'll go back and read it later. Make it a habit."

"It's not good. It's an advertisement, and it's selling cars. Is this something poor students like me should watch?"

"I remember that Ruida Automobile held a press conference just before the Spring Festival and released two new energy vehicles, the Roadster sports car and the MINI EV. It's only been a few months, and there are new cars on the market. The speed of research and development is too fast."

"I saw SUVs and MPVs on the promotional posters. Ruida Automobile has finally started to make some normal models. I hope the price won't be too expensive."

"I actually like new energy vehicles. They are quiet, low-cost and easy to maintain. But there are too few public charging stations in our city. If I buy a new energy vehicle, charging it will become a big problem."

"I saw a news report some time ago saying that the Ruida Research Institute has mastered the sodium-ion battery technology and the price of new energy vehicles will drop significantly. I don't know if it is true?"

"I've also read the news about sodium-ion batteries. It was in Science and Technology Daily. I think news that can be published in a major newspaper is still somewhat credible."

"It's still too troublesome to charge new energy vehicles now. You have to wait in line for charging stations, and the charging speed is slow. It's far less convenient than refueling a fuel car and being able to drive away immediately."

"But driving a new energy vehicle is much more economical than driving a fuel vehicle. My wife bought a MINIEV, which consumes only about 10 degrees of electricity per 5 kilometers. If it is charged at a home charging station, the cost is only 3 yuan, and even if it is charged at a public charging station, the cost is only 9 yuan. The BMW x7 I drive consumes L of fuel per kilometers. Even if the oil price is yuan/L, it will cost more than yuan to drive kilometers, which is more than six times the cost of a MINIEV."

"Is there such a big difference in the operating costs between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles? I've learned a lot."

"It's not that extreme. If it's the same model, the difference is only three or four times."

"It would be great if there was a car that could combine the convenience of a fuel car with the cost savings of an electric car."

"Take a look at BYD Qin-DM. It is equipped with the second-generation DM hybrid technology. It can be plugged in or run on gasoline. Its fuel consumption is less than four liters per 100 kilometers, which fully meets your requirements." "It's already past one o'clock. Isn't the press conference of Ruida Automobile about to start? Does anyone know the address code of the live broadcast room? Give me a portal."

"You can go directly to the official website of Ruida Group and see the entrance to the live broadcast room. Or you can download the Tiantian Toutiao app on your mobile phone and watch the live broadcast of Ruida Automobile's new car launch.

……

Qiao Ruida was curled up in a chair happily peeking at the screen, but Shao Heping came over and said, "Boss Qiao, there are some big shots coming to the company. Do you want to meet them?"

"Big shots, or several of them? Tell me who they are?" Qiao Ruida put away his phone and asked curiously.

"Wang Chuanfu from BYD, Li Shufu from Geely, Zeng Yuqun from CATL, and Zheng Shunjing, general manager of Tesla China."

"Wow, they are really big shots. They are either veterans in car manufacturing or masters in the field of power batteries. Each of them should not be underestimated. Why did these four people choose this time to come to Ruida Automobile Factory together? Have you sent them invitations?"

"No, only media reporters and some old users of Ruida Automobile were invited to the new car launch conference. Domestic counterparts were not invited." Shao Heping was also very surprised by the arrival of these four people. Among the four people, two are car manufacturers and one is a car seller. They can be said to be direct competitors of Ruida Automobile and have never dealt with each other before. However, CATL has done business with Ruida Automobile and is one of its power battery suppliers.

"Guests from afar are welcome. As hosts, we cannot neglect them. Where are these four people now? I'll go meet them and ask them the purpose of their visit." These four people are all wealthy and famous. If Shao Heping were to receive them, he would inevitably be nervous and under great pressure. If it were Qiao Ruida, there would be no such problems. First of all, his wealth is more than the sum of the four people. The title of the richest man in the country is not just for show, but real strength. Secondly, Qiao Ruida's reputation is no less than theirs. Whether in the field of scientific research, in the field of business, or in the field of automobiles, Qiao Ruida and his Ruida Group companies are already famous.

"I have arranged these four bosses in the reception room of the office building. I will send someone to take you there. Xiao Yang, come here for a moment. I can't leave now. You drive Mr. Qiao to the reception room of the office building." Shao Heping waved his hand and called his secretary over. He gave him the task of sending Qiao Ruida to the office building. Then he left in a hurry and continued to be busy. The press conference was about to be held, and there were many preparations to be done. It was very troublesome. He, the factory director, couldn't leave at all. That was why he found Qiao Ruida and asked him to receive the four visiting bosses.

"Mr. Qiao, let's go now!" "Okay, let's go now."

Shao Heping's secretary turned out to be a man, which made Qiao Ruida feel very strange. In commercial companies, female secretaries occupy an absolute dominant position, and male secretaries are rare animals and rarely seen. Even Qiao Ruida's several secretaries and assistants are all women. Until later, one time when the company organized a team building, Qiao Ruida met Shao Heping's wife and went with her for a while. Only then did he understand the reason why Shao Heping looked for a male secretary. It was really because he had a fierce wife at home, so he had to do so.

A few minutes later, Qiao Ruida appeared in a luxuriously decorated reception room. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry. I'm so busy and came late. I've neglected you all. Let me introduce myself. I'm Qiao Ruida, chairman of the Ruida Group. The Ruida Automobile Factory where we are is also my industry."

Seeing the real owner coming, the four people in the room hurriedly stood up and shook hands and greeted Qiao Ruida one by one.

"No, no, we came unexpectedly without any prior communication and became bad guests."

"Mr. Qiao looks really young. He deserves to be called a young talent."

"Yes, when I was Mr. Qiao's age, I was still screwing screws in a factory. Mr. Qiao is so young, but he has already created such a foundation and become the richest man in the country. He is really a young and promising man."

"Seeing is believing. Mr. Qiao is not only talented, but also handsome. He is really rare. He is unlike us old guys who are not good-looking."

"Thank you for your compliments, seniors. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."

After some business exchanging, everyone sat down as host and guest, and a waiter came in to change the tea for everyone. Everyone chatted for a while and soon got down to business. BYD's President Wang cleared his throat and said, "I heard that Ruida Research Institute has recently developed two new batteries, sodium ion batteries and graphene batteries. President Qiao, can you tell us about these two new batteries?"

Hearing Mr. Wang's question, Qiao Ruida was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that these four people came together for batteries. But it was normal to think about it carefully. BYD, Geely, and Tesla all produce new energy vehicles, and CATL is a professional manufacturer of power batteries. The only thing that can alarm these four bosses at the same time is a brand-new battery technology. Considering that sodium batteries and graphene batteries will appear at today's new car launch conference, there is no need to keep it secret, so Qiao Ruida did not hide anything and told everything directly.

"Of course there is no problem. Sodium-ion batteries, as the name implies, mainly rely on the movement of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to work, which is similar to the working principle of lithium-ion batteries. We all know that the number of sodium-ion compounds in nature is far greater than that of lithium-ion compounds. For example, sodium chloride in the sea is almost inexhaustible. This makes it easy to obtain raw materials for the production of sodium-ion batteries and the cost is very cheap. At present, the energy density of sodium-ion batteries produced by our Ruida Group is about 200Wh/kg, which is still a gap compared with lithium batteries, but the cost is only one-third of that of lithium batteries of the same capacity. Moreover, sodium batteries are safer than lithium batteries and have better adaptability to low temperatures. If sodium-ion batteries are used in new energy vehicles, the price of the car can be greatly reduced. In the competition with fuel vehicles, the advantage is more obvious." (End of this chapter)
