Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

That afternoon, Wei Hong returned to the government of the CPC Central Committee and immediately held an internal meeting to discuss the field investigation of the day in depth.

What he saw with his own eyes gave him a clearer understanding of the strength of Future Technology Group.

Wei Hong asked directly: “Academician Chen, based on what we saw today, the energy density of Future Technology Group’s ternary lithium battery has reached 200wh/kg, which is the top level internationally.

But it is currently only used in electric motorcycles. Isn’t it a bit of a waste of talent?”

Academician Chen replied: “I communicated with Hao Qiang. Although he did not make a clear statement, the company does have plans to enter other industries, such as the field of new energy vehicles.”

Wei Hong nodded thoughtfully.

He understood that Future Technology Group had just achieved mass production, and it was a reasonable choice to give priority to meeting the needs of the electric motorcycle market.

In other words, Hao Qiang and his team may know the significance of this technological breakthrough better than anyone else.

Last year, the total global production of cars was about 70 million. Even if new energy vehicles occupy one-tenth of the market, it will be an emerging market of one trillion yuan per year, driving the development of related industries, forming industrial clusters, and cultivating new economic growth points. It is not just a simple one trillion emerging market.

Next, the leader spoke and asked the participants to speak freely and share their views.

The conference room suddenly became lively, and everyone expressed their opinions.

The discussion gradually deepened and involved multiple levels:

National strategic level: Leading the development of the global automotive industry with new energy vehicles can not only reduce dependence on oil imports, but also optimize the energy structure and improve national energy security.

This move is highly consistent with the national sustainable development strategy and is of great significance to environmental protection.

In terms of technological innovation: Given the lack of advantages in the field of traditional fuel vehicles in China, new energy vehicles may be the perfect opportunity to achieve “overtaking on the curve”.

This will not only enhance the country’s overall scientific and technological strength, but also greatly enhance China’s influence and image on the international stage.

In general, focusing on the development of new energy vehicles has far-reaching strategic significance for the country’s economic development, environmental protection, energy security and international competitiveness.

If Guangdong Province can be at the forefront of the country and even the world in this field and ensure the correct development direction, it will undoubtedly become an impressive political achievement for the leaders present.

They realized that supporting and promoting the development of new energy vehicles is not only a wise economic decision, but also a rare opportunity to promote the long-term development of the region and even the country.

One day later,

Hao Qiang received a notice that a meeting would be held at the Xi’an Municipal Committee at 10 a.m. on July 9 to discuss the downstream development of new energy batteries.

The craze for lithium batteries was set off by him. If he is not willing to promote development, who will?

After Hao Qiang and Wang He arrived at the Xi’an Municipal Committee meeting room, they found that there were dozens of participants from multiple departments.

Most people came mainly to listen, and the core discussion will still be conducted by government leaders and Hao Qiang and others.

After the meeting started, Wei Hong said to Hao Qiang straight to the point: “Mr. Hao, I invited you here mainly to listen to your opinions as an expert and inventor.

This meeting aims to discuss the development of the downstream lithium battery industry.

Later, leaders of various departments may ask you some questions. Please rest assured, Mr. Hao, these questions will not affect the final decision.”

At the beginning, Wei Hong praised Hao Qiang very highly, which was also a hint to the participants to pay attention to Hao Qiang’s importance and remind everyone to be polite when asking questions.

“Thank you for your praise, leaders and departments for your support and trust.” Hao Qiang responded calmly with a smile, “If you have any questions, Mr. Wang and I are happy to answer them for you.”

After that, Hao Qiang introduced Wang He next to him.

“Hello, Mr. Hao. First of all, congratulations to Future Technology Group for developing advanced lithium batteries.” Luo Jianguo, the director of the meeting, asked, “I would like to ask, how is the production capacity scalability of NCM622 batteries?

For example, if we want to meet the battery demand of 10 million electric vehicles every year, can we do it? How difficult is it? What is the cost?

These questions have also been asked by many comrades. Maybe my answers are not accurate enough. I would like to trouble Mr. Hao to explain.”

This question attracted the attention of everyone present.

If the production capacity scalability is not good or the cost is too high, then the market prospects of this battery will inevitably be limited.

“Thank you for the question from Director Luo. This is a good question and it is also the most concerned aspect of the government and consumers.” Hao Qiang answered seriously.

“At present, our company’s annual production capacity is about 4GWh.

Assuming that the battery capacity of an electric car is 50 kWh, thenWe can now meet the supply of 80,000 electric vehicles per year.

To achieve a supply of 10 million vehicles, at least 500GWh of production capacity is required. ”

Hao Qiang continued to explain: “From a technical perspective and existing mineral resources, it is not difficult to achieve this goal. It is to continuously replicate existing production lines to achieve it.

Of course, the investment cost is relatively high, with an average investment cost of about 200 million yuan per 1GWh.

In other words, to meet the battery supply of 10 million electric vehicles per year, the factory investment requires at least 100 billion yuan. ”

Speaking of the cost issue, Hao Qiang analyzed in detail: “In terms of price, for each 50 kWh battery pack, we expect the supply price to the automobile factory to be around 50,000 yuan.

Considering the price increase at each link, the market price to consumers may reach 70,000 yuan, or even higher.

With the expansion of production capacity and the improvement of technology, the market price of such battery packs is expected to drop to around 50,000 yuan. ”

For a traditional fuel vehicle that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, its engine cost is usually between 15,000 and 30,000 yuan, and the gearbox cost is between 12,000 and 22,500 yuan.

Although new energy vehicles do not need traditional engines and gearboxes, they do need motors and other related components.

Taking all factors into consideration, under the same configuration, the manufacturing cost of an electric vehicle that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan may be about 30,000 yuan higher than that of a fuel vehicle.

If you drive frequently, it is more cost-effective to buy a new energy vehicle.

The advantages are that it is environmentally friendly, quiet, has fast acceleration, and has low long-term use costs;

The disadvantages are also obvious, with long charging time, reliance on charging stations, battery safety hazards, and obvious battery degradation in winter.

Hao Qiang concluded: “Therefore, in the initial stage, under the same configuration, the cost of electric vehicles will be slightly higher than that of fuel vehicles of the same level.

If we want to accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles, we may need national policy subsidies in the early stage to support industrial development, especially the construction of a large number of public charging piles to facilitate charging. ”

Luo Shichang said: “Mr. Hao’s analysis is very thorough, and I have no questions for the time being. ”

A leader said: “Mr. Hao is familiar with the development prospects of new energy vehicles. As mentioned earlier, the development needs national policy subsidies. How much subsidy is appropriate?

What benefits will the state bring if it spends?

It is impossible to spend unilaterally, otherwise, the new energy industry will still not develop. ”

Hao Qiang said: “Development is a gradual process. At the beginning, the subsidies are more.

If the subsidies are small, consumers will not buy it.

The advantages and disadvantages of new energy vehicles are very obvious. It depends on how the country chooses. ”

Hao Qiang added some precautions for policy subsidies. Some new energy vehicle companies use this policy loophole to make money, and they are not researching cars at all.

There is nothing inside the car, just a shell.

National subsidies cannot be directly issued to car companies, and the subsidies are different for cars of different specifications, battery capacity, and battery technology levels.

In the previous life, my country began to promote new energy vehicles in 2009, and issued a subsidy policy in 2010. The subsidy amount was very large. As long as it was a new energy vehicle, each car would receive at least 50,000 yuan.

Encouraged by the subsidy policy, a large amount of social capital entered this field, making my country the world’s largest new energy vehicle market.

While promoting market development, some fraudulent subsidy behaviors have also spawned.

For many car companies that cheat on subsidies, the cost of making a car is less than 30,000 yuan.

Based on his experience and knowledge in his previous life, Hao Qiang made many valuable suggestions, and also hoped that the national subsidy policy would take fewer detours.
