Chapter 217 Sodium Ion Batteries

"Hi! Hello, Mr. Luo, hello, Mr. Yu. If we don't let you have a good meal at noon, why are you having a video conference?"

In the computer screen, Mr. Lei was holding a dinner plate and stuffing food into his mouth while complaining about two shameless guys for interrupting his meal time.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Luo Hui was a little confused as to whether this guy was having lunch or dinner: "Boss, my offline WeChat mobile payment marketing activities have been launched. The penetration rate of smartphones in China has not yet increased. You have to use Work harder!"

He was not polite.

Ignoring Mr. Lei's complaints at all, he made the request directly.

"I heard that you have prepared 200 billion in marketing funds. How do you plan to spend it? Do you want to purchase a batch of cheap mobile phones and distribute them to consumers for free?"

Yu Dazui watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

He gave a plan for popularizing smartphones in good faith and looked at the camera expectantly.

"Go away, 200 billion is the reserve fund of the online merchant bank. Whether you can convince supermarket companies and self-employed people who open stores to use WeChat payment codes depends on this money. Don't worry about this money."

Luo Hui rolled his eyes in anger.

It's so beautiful!

After chatting and saying hello for a while, Mr. Lei had already finished his meal. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and nodded: "Two hundred billion. Mr. Luo, you can't spend such a large sum of money, so why not use it to popularize smart phones?" never mind."

"Go away! If the two bosses give me the right words, can they temporarily sell all the cheap smartphones that are going to be sold in overseas markets to the domestic market?" Luo Hui got straight to the point.

"Hehe, if you don't kill the person who was taken advantage of, you won't kill him. Right, Mr. Lei?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yu is right, I will obey your arrangements."

"Good guy, you want me to be the villain and you hide behind to take advantage, right?"

"Don't tell me if you know it!"

"You want face?"

"Are you shameless?"

These two shameless things.

The words "take advantage of the fire to rob" have already been engraved on his forehead.

no way.

When asking for help, you must be sincere in asking for help, and you cannot let others help you in vain.

Luo Hui interrupted the banter between them: "If you can do this for me, I can provide 10 billion loans at bank interest rates."

"Mr. Luo is very open! The 20 million units of Redmi phones that our Xiaomi company plans to send to overseas markets in the next two months will be given priority to the domestic market."

Mr. Lei smiled so hard that his teeth couldn’t even see his eyes.

Enterprises engaged in real industries will never be short of money.

Now that someone can provide 10 billion in loans, Xiaomi can continue to expand production capacity and occupy a larger market.

"Mr. Lei, you are so stingy!"

Luo Hui curled his lips in disgust: "I lent you 10 billion, and you only transferred two months of production capacity. Are you going to the grave and burning newspapers to fool people?"

"Then how much do you want? You can't temporarily interrupt the supply to overseas markets, right? Now is a good time to compete for territory, and no market can give up."

Mr. Lei frowned slightly.

"Six months of production capacity! If the overseas market shrinks and the supply is maintained at about 10%, it will be enough to launch a wave of hunger marketing and expand the brand's influence." Luo Hui gritted his teeth and offered the price.

"Then how long can I use your money? Three years?"

"No problem, I'll let you use it for three years, and you'll only pay interest for the first two years!"

"Okay, deal!"

Mr. Lei will handle it here.

Luo Hui looked at Yu Dazui and signaled the other party to make an offer.

"Ten billion! It would be false to say that you are not excited about such a large sum of money. You are a shareholder of our Honor brand. I can't help it even if I don't support it."

Yu Dazui was the first to establish a relationship.

Not in a hurry to make an offer.

Luo Hui was not used to it: "Mr. Yu, don't think I don't know. In addition to the P series of your Huawei brand mobile phones, there is also a low-end brand called Maimang."

"Damn it, you know all this?"

"Nonsense, can I not know what little thoughts you have? Don't talk nonsense. Six months of production capacity for the Maimang brand and Honor ordinary mobile phones must be invested in China."

"Okay, I will also launch a wave of hunger marketing in overseas markets."

"Deal?"

"Deal!"

After completing the production of smartphones, Luo Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

Erma has not engaged in offline mobile payment marketing for a long time, probably because it feels that the penetration rate of smartphones at this time is not high enough.

Just in time for him to make the first move.

User habits cannot be developed in a day or two.

The sooner you start, the better.

This kind of thing requires a first-mover advantage.

"Mr. Luo."

After discussing the business, Yu Dazui said again seemingly casually: "The International Internet Conference organized by Erma even invited Mr. Lei and I. Is it true that you were not invited?"

"Yu Dazui, I didn't expect that you still have the potential to stir up trouble?" Luo Hui rolled his eyes again.

Small sample.

Isn't it a bit unethical for you to stir up trouble like this?

People have given you invitations, which means they think highly of you.

Why do you have to stir up trouble?

"Mr. Luo, I'm not the one who stirs up trouble. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear this kind of thing." Mr. Lei also joined the instigating team.

With a wicked smile on his face.

"Stop gossiping, I won't be fooled by you. If you have this time, think of ways to improve the performance of your mobile phone. I will launch a mobile game next year. It's no good that the performance of your mobile phone is too low."

Luo Hui simply lay down. No matter how provoked the two bad guys are, they will not be fooled.

"I suddenly had an illusion: We are working on smartphones to work for you, right?" Yu Dazui couldn't bear it.

Mr. Lei was also quite emotional: "It's really disappointing. We worked hard on R&D and integrated the industrial chain. As a result, the mobile phone brand we created is not as profitable as an Internet company. Look at Mr. Luo, the scale of his business is tens of billions. And I’m still worried about the hundreds of millions in marketing expenses for the new phone.”

The two guys are out of balance!

This is true.

When building an Internet company, as long as marketing is done well, other costs don't matter.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do research and development.

Program development can be outsourced.

It's troublesome to engage in real industries. Research and development is the big part, integrating the industrial chain is still the big part, and marketing expenses are the big part.

All three require heavy investment to achieve a brand.

The probability of trial and error is horribly low.

The cost of trial and error for Internet companies is very low. If an APP fails, you can just change the track and try it again.

It doesn’t cost much anyway.

This is also the reason why major investment institutions like to invest in Internet companies rather than in real industries.

Looking at the two guys talking sourly, Luo Hui had a sudden thought: "Mr. Lei, Mr. Yu, what do you think about me investing in a sodium-ion battery project?"

"Are you sick?"

Mr. Lei was startled.

Yu Dazui followed closely: "Lithium-ion batteries have a future, what kind of sodium-ion batteries are you doing?"

"There are too many people and companies engaged in lithium-ion batteries, and it's a red ocean. I don't know how to engage in scientific research. It's a business where you lose whatever you invest. Only by entering the field of sodium-ion batteries that few people enter now can we create a unique brand. .”

Luo Hui shook his head and explained.

of course.

He would not say that the development of sodium-ion batteries is not focused on power batteries, but on the field of energy storage batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries do not have the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries, but they have low production costs and are less affected by temperature.

After mass production, they can be sold to various solar and wind energy companies for use as energy storage batteries.

There is enough material for this thing.

You can get a continuous supply of raw materials by drying the sea water, and you don't have to travel all over the world to buy mines.

and.

Equipment used for urban energy storage does not care about size at all, and sodium-ion batteries can be made very large.

It can be made into the size of a container and stacked in a corner to provide a steady stream of power to the city.

It should be a good business.

"Mr. Luo."

Yu Dazui leaned forward slightly and asked curiously: "Have you discovered any secrets to making a fortune?"

"Nothing, I just want to invest in a company with high technology content. Don't look at the superficial glory of Internet companies. In fact, the competition is very cruel. Maybe one day they will be replaced by new companies. For example, they are very prosperous these days. Those live broadcast software, they will not survive for a few days, and will be killed by TT soon."

Of course Luo Hui didn't want to admit it.

The market prospect of sodium-ion batteries is much stronger than that of lithium-ion batteries, and it is an urgently needed product for the development of green energy.

All countries in the world need it.

More importantly, the demand for this thing is very high, and the purchase volume of any one project is larger than the annual purchase volume of several leading electric vehicle companies.

The profit margin is huge.

Of course he had to keep such important news in his own hands.

Neither can the allies.

Yu Dazui followed up with a bad smile: "I don't care, let's just invest in today's hot spot, and I, on behalf of Hua Wei, will also participate in one share."

"Lao Yu, are you so optimistic about sodium-ion batteries?" Mr. Lei also fainted.

Although I don't know what the current situation is, I feel very keenly that the sodium-ion battery discussed by the two guys should be a very profitable project.

just.

Xiaomi is in a period of rapid development, and all the money is used to expand production capacity. It is basically impossible to divert money for investment.

Not as wealthy as Huayi.

"Lao Yu, you are not honest. Giving you the opportunity to invest in today's hot spots has already given you a lot of advantages. Why don't you take advantage of enough?"

Luo Hui couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "I plan to invest a total of 20 billion in the field of sodium-ion batteries. If you want to take a stake, you have to follow up on this scale of investment."

pity.

He underestimated Hua Cheng's financial resources.

In particular, when 4G cellular base stations are selling like hotcakes, they are at the stage when they have the strongest financial resources.

Yu Dazui didn't hesitate.

He directly extended a slap in the face: "No problem, you invest 20 billion, and we will follow with 5 billion."

"Damn it, you are so rich, why do you still need my loan?"

Luo Hui's nose was so angry that he was crooked.

"Hey, if you don't get money with such a low interest rate, it won't be free. Investment is another matter. Anyway, five billion is not taken out all at once. Let's invest in it slowly."

"Okay, I'll send someone to sign the contract later and introduce your research progress in the field of sodium-ion batteries. It's best to send someone who understands scientific research to help me check and review some unnecessary research and development projects."

"You're welcome!"

"Nonsense, I only know the Internet. I am weak in scientific research. Of course I have to use my strength to help."

"How do you know we are doing research on sodium-ion batteries?"

"Keep it secret!"
