When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Wang Donglai suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the impact of semi-solid-state batteries.

Manager Hu, the second-in-command, not only was he waiting for me in person at the conference center, he also personally offered such generous conditions.

This is not common sense at all!

As a general rule, matters like this should be communicated and discussed first by the people below, and then finalized by someone at the level of General Manager Hu.

However, Manager Hu did not do as usual.

The proposal of the Luzhou model further demonstrates General Manager Hu's sincerity and determination.

When Manager Hu said that if he missed this opportunity, he would be a sinner in Qin Province, Wang Donglai could not help but be shocked and moved.

And a little reflection.

Have I underestimated the commercial value of semi-solid-state batteries?
After a quick estimate in his mind, Wang Donglai had the answer in his mind.

Semi-solid-state batteries had not been actually used by any company until he traveled through time.

The guy next door is saying every day that he will soon start large-scale production of solid-state batteries, and has set the time at a certain stage.

However, anyone can see that the notebook is just hype.

Therefore, semi-solid-state batteries are far inferior to solid-state batteries and will still be products that cannot be mass-produced and cannot be put into practical use in the next nine years.

Not to mention the present moment.

That is definitely a killer weapon that can change the entire new energy vehicle industry.

After once again gaining a clear understanding of the importance of semi-solid-state batteries, Wang Donglai also fell into a dilemma.

Originally, in his idea, the patent for semi-solid-state batteries did not have to be in his hands.

By licensing the patents, we can obtain a large amount of funds for the research and development of more advanced technologies.

However, now that he has rediscovered the value of semi-solid-state batteries, Wang Donglai's ideas have changed somewhat.

Such important technology is no longer just reflected in business.

It can also play an important role in many fields.

So, Manager Hu came in person.

Thinking of this, Wang Donglai quickly made a decision in his mind.

"Manager Hu, in my original plan, I didn't intend to get involved in automobile manufacturing at the moment, because in my opinion, neither the current gasoline cars nor the new energy cars are advanced enough."

"Because of the thermal efficiency limitations and the traditional mechanical settings of engines, gasoline vehicles simply have no future unless there is a huge breakthrough in materials and technology."

"New energy vehicles are nothing more than large electric four-wheel drive vehicles. If you get the motor, battery and electronic control right, and find a good designer to design it, you can have a new energy electric vehicle."

"From a practical point of view, new energy vehicles are certainly not bad, but from the perspective of technological development, they can also be considered backward."

"I would rather develop more technologically forward-looking products, such as aircraft."

"After all, cars are just for running on the road and are subject to terrain restrictions. If it is an aircraft, it is different. There is no restriction on terrain and the prospects are broader."

“Even if we can’t achieve it right away, we can still develop flying cars and conduct tests and pilot projects.”

"Manager Hu, I think the means of transportation in the future should be equipped with intelligent driving. There will be no need for a driver. Intelligent AI will take over the entire process and plan the route. It can be an aircraft or flying car in the sky, or an unmanned car running on the road."

"Only such products can be considered true technological innovation."

At this point, Manager Hu had already made a plan based on Wang Donglai's description.

"Indeed, we have to say that Professor Wang is a scientific researcher after all, and his pioneering spirit in scientific research is worth learning from."

“I don’t know much about technology, but I can feel that the future technology that Professor Wang just envisioned is indeed very exciting.”

"However, I am more concerned about the present. It would be great if I could make some achievements during my tenure. As for the technology in the distant future, I can only hope that I can live a few more years and see it with my own eyes."

As the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious, the vague arrogance of Manager Hu also disappeared quietly.

Wang Donglai could naturally sense this, so he said, "I believe Manager Hu will definitely be able to see it!"

Wang Donglai didn't know how many people he had said this to.

Every time he said this, Wang Donglai was full of confidence.

And everyone's reactions were exactly the same. They were not even half-believing or half-doubting, and they did not take it seriously at all.

This is what Manager Hu is like at this moment.

Wang Donglai didn't say anything else. Facts speak louder than a thousand words.

"I have an idea. I would like to ask Manager Hu for some guidance."

"What Manager Hu said just now reminded me, so I suddenly had an idea, which is to set up a company with semi-solid batteries as the core technology, focusing on battery manufacturing."

"Given the performance of semi-solid-state batteries, there will definitely be no shortage of customers, so production lines and factories must be in place from the beginning."

"Since I was born in Qin Province and have been taken care of by my hometown, I will naturally not move the factory away and will definitely stay here."

Manager Hu actually had this idea, and when he heard Wang Donglai say it on his own initiative, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"For such technological research and development in key areas that benefit both the country and the people, setting up a company to operate is the best option. As a local, I, as a local official, cannot sit idly by."

"Didn't President Wang just say that there is a big funding gap? Then, on behalf of the Qin Province, I will make a promise to provide no less than 50 billion in funding support."

At this point, Manager Hu paused for a moment before continuing, "But from a business perspective, 20 billion in funding is not free. I hope that Manager Wang can understand this."

Wang Donglai naturally understood this principle.

The 50 billion yuan in financial support certainly cannot be a direct allocation of 20 billion yuan. It is very likely that a very favorable targeted capital increase agreement will be signed in collaboration with major banks under the leadership of the provincial government.

Even so, the number of 20 billion is definitely an exaggeration.

Just when Wang Donglai was a little shocked by this figure, Manager Hu continued, "In addition, since this is business, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will also inject some funds and want to obtain some shares. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

"Of course, this share ratio was discussed by both parties, and it will definitely not let Mr. Wang suffer any loss."

Hearing this, Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "Manager Hu, 20 billion is not enough!"

"not enough?"

Manager Hu looked at Wang Donglai with some surprise and confusion in his eyes, waiting for Wang Donglai to explain.

Wang Donglai then explained: "Manager Hu, you know the performance of semi-solid batteries. If they are put on the market, they will definitely crush other products. However, their current cost is also higher than other batteries. This creates a problem, which is that the market share will be very slow."

"In addition, the upstream and downstream of battery products with such excellent performance will also benefit from it. As a company at the forefront of technology, it is necessary to be prepared for any eventuality, such as controlling the minerals of some core materials." "If this cannot be done, even if the battery performance is excellent, it can easily be controlled and affected."

“So, just building the factory is not enough.”

"Finally, if we only plan to rely on semi-solid-state batteries as a product, we are not a qualified company. We must continue to conduct research and development."

"I welcome the capital injection from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission very much, but the size of the shares needs to be discussed seriously and within a reasonable range."

Manager Hu was not dissatisfied with Wang Donglai's attitude. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction because he saw that Wang Donglai spoke clearly and logically.

"You must have your own ideas. Tell me what you think."

Wang Donglai nodded and continued, "This semi-solid-state battery has great advantages. For the current new energy vehicle market, it is definitely a trump card core technology."

"So, in terms of operation, I position it as a must-have high-end product. In this way, it must be coordinated with new energy vehicles."

"I plan to relax the equity restrictions and allow a few new energy vehicle companies to invest."

At this point, Manager Hu understood what Wang Donglai meant.

The advantages of semi-solid-state batteries are so great that any new energy vehicle company that is not stupid will find a way to obtain supply even if it means gritting its teeth.

Now, there is an opportunity to acquire shares, and people will be even more eager to do so. By then, the valuation of semi-solid-state batteries will be even higher.

There are many benefits to doing this.

It not only boosted the valuation of this company that had not yet been established, but also attracted a group of partners.

Manager Hu was thinking about this when Wang Donglai just said this.

However, he did not care, but asked another question: "Your company previously licensed the lithium-sulfur battery patent to BYD and CATL. Will these two companies be the target of investment this time?"

After hearing this question, Wang Donglai hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk business. If the conditions offered by the two companies are not suitable, then I can only give up cooperating with them."

Manager Hu nodded and continued, "At that time, in addition to the 20 billion in financial support, we will also provide maximum support in terms of land, taxation, etc."

After getting into the mood, Wang Donglai and Manager Hu started talking about factory construction.

However, both of them are either general managers or founders of the company.

As long as the intention to cooperate is confirmed and both parties show their sincerity, the next thing will be very simple. The general direction is certain, and the details do not need to be discussed personally by the two people. They can just leave it to the people below.

They chatted for another half an hour before the two ended the conversation.

After the conversation, Manager Hu decided to fly directly to Tangdu to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Wang Donglai was not in a hurry, so there was no need to rush back to Tangdu.

the next day.

Before Ren Hongwei found Wang Donglai to discuss cooperation, Wang Donglai met someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences personally led a team, along with a group of leaders including the director of the Semiconductor Institute, and appeared directly in front of Wang Donglai.

As soon as they met, Li Lin, director of the Semiconductor Research Institute, took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Professor Wang, I'm Li Lin from the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and this is Academician Yang, our dean."

After the introduction, Li Lin bowed to Wang Donglai and said sincerely, "I came here to apologize to you for Jia Wei's mistake two days ago."

"Jia Wei's behavior does not represent the Institute of Semiconductor Research, let alone the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I hope Professor Wang can understand this."

"After learning of Jia Wei's behavior, the institute and the hospital immediately dealt with Jia Wei and removed him from his position as punishment."

Wang Donglai was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the director of the Semiconductor Research Institute would be so bold.

You should know that as the director of the Semiconductor Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Lin's rank is not low.

Moreover, being able to sit in this position also means considerable status in the academic world.

"You're too polite, Chief Li. Since Director Jia has been punished, the matter is over."

Wang Donglai nodded and said as if he didn't care at all.

However, the calmer Wang Donglai appeared, the more uneasy Li Lin became.

He didn't believe that Wang Donglai had really revealed it like that.

Moreover, they came here this time not just to apologize.

If they really want to apologize, they just need to bring Jia Wei over, there is no need for the dean to take action.

Just when Li Lin was thinking about what to do, Academician Yang Yan spoke.

"Professor Wang, we are here to apologize for Jia Wei's impertinent behavior, but we are here to discuss cooperation with my professor."

Yang Yan is almost seventy years old, but he is still full of energy and looks capable.

At this moment, when he said this, he was full of energy, and it was hard to imagine that he was almost seventy years old.

A smile appeared on Wang Donglai's face. He glanced at Li Lin, then looked at the people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who were following him, and finally looked at Yang Yan.

"Academician Yang, I don't think Jia Wei's behavior can be described as presumptuous and reckless. If I didn't understand, I would have been deceived a long time ago."

"So, in my opinion, Jia Wei's behavior is more appropriately described as deception and fraud."

"Oh, by the way, there is a term called attempted fraud. I think this term is more appropriate!"

Although Wang Donglai had a smile on his face, the words he spoke were like a knife, leaving no face for anyone present.

Li Lin had never expected this, Yang Yan was also a little surprised, and the people following behind him were even more angry and shocked.

However, Yang Yan reacted quickly and corrected himself, saying, "Professor Wang is right, Jia Wei's behavior is indeed bad and has a very bad influence!"

"Just dismissal is indeed too light. Later, I will use this as an opportunity to convene a meeting, make a resolution, and give a suitable punishment. What do you think, Professor Wang?"

The smile on Wang Donglai's face suddenly became more intense, and there was a hint of scrutiny in the look he gave Yang Yan.

As the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician, he actually respects my opinions so much.

This is unreasonable!
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Thinking about the previous proposal to cooperate with him, some guesses gradually emerged in Wang Donglai's mind.

After having a rough idea of ​​it, Wang Donglai felt relieved and became more relaxed.

However, at this time. (End of chapter)
