Chapter 1067 New Energy
According to the geographical characteristics of southern Guizhou, it is located in the plateau area, and bicycles are not a suitable project. This is why Qixuan has not opened the market in southern Guizhou and several surrounding provinces.
What Kong Yue wants to do is to use electric bicycles. Compared with Qixuan's urban bicycles, the cost is higher and the risks are greater, but compared with Qiannan and several surrounding provinces, which are located on the plateau, they complement each other.
In other cities, electric bicycles can also be an effective supplement to Qixuan bicycles.
For the same green travel, some people will be willing to choose electric bicycles that save time and effort, while some people will prefer to choose ordinary bicycles that can also take exercise into account.
However, taking out five points as a replacement method is definitely not in line with Shi Lei's long-term interests.
The newly established company's business is limited to electric bicycles. In most of the markets occupied by Qixuan, it can only be an effective supplement to Qixuan bicycles.
This is destined that the development of Qixuan bicycles will be better, while the development of electric bicycles will be squeezed by both space and time.
The most critical thing is the cost. The cost of an electric bicycle must also take into account that it must be sturdy and not easily damaged for public use. At the same time, it must be thoroughly anti-theft. The manufacturing cost is at least the cost of three to five ordinary Qixuan bicycles. .
In terms of subsequent maintenance, since electric bicycles must be recycled and maintained every time they are ridden for a certain period of time and a certain number of kilometers, mainly due to the time cost caused by charging, this also makes it impossible for the usage rate of electric bicycles to increase. The bicycle is so high.
This will undoubtedly be factored into the cost as well.
If Qixuan Bicycle will develop into a 100-billion-scale enterprise sooner or later, then electric bicycles will be a 10-billion-level market at best. It is obviously not in Shi Lei's interest to exchange the current shares of Qixuan for the shares of the yet-to-be-established electric bicycle.
Even if Shi Lei agrees, Dong Chiqing will never agree, and other shareholders will never agree, unless Shi Lei gives out his own shares.
Therefore, Shi Lei shook his head and said: "Your idea is not bad. At least in some areas, within a certain period of time, there is room for maneuver. If you want to rely on the Qixuan brand, avoid competing with Qixuan. Direct competition between companies, and at the same time getting a higher starting point from the beginning, it is absolutely impossible to exchange shares for Qixuan. You really dare to open your mouth to Qixuan in the market now. What’s the valuation?”
Kong Yue said very dissatisfied: "Hey, it seems that the first time we chatted, we were talking about the valuation of your Qixuan, is it good?"
Shi Lei laughed and said: "Now that you know, Qixuan's current valuation must be over 15 billion, five points is 750 million, plus Qixuan's brand value, how much money do you plan to invest? Moreover, you have to hold a controlling stake in the new enterprise, which means you have to invest at least 2 billion in exchange for 5 points of shares in Qixuan. If you can really invest 2 billion, I don't mind giving 5 points. Cashed out.”
Kong Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Who would directly inject two billion into a new company? Shi Lei, before you say these words, do you also want to know what our family does?"
Shi Lei really didn't understand this, he couldn't help but look at the boiled water.
Bai Kaishui said: "New energy."
Shi Lei understood Kong Yue's intention in an instant, and said, "Do you want to take shares in your father's company's energy technology?"
Kong Yue nodded and said: "My dad's company is leading in the world in terms of batteries. I am confident to convince him to use electric bicycles as an entry point into the market to test the market reaction. We The battery, with the same quality, can have a driving range of more than five times that of electric bicycles currently on the market.”
Shi Lei took a breath of air and said, "So outrageous?"
Most of the electric bicycles currently on the market have a cruising range of between 20 and 40 kilometers. Five times means that even if you travel lightly, the cruising range of the electric bicycle can reach 100 kilometers. If this is the case, the new company's product costs will be significantly reduced.
Kong Yue said proudly: "I'm still talking about this, and the battery I'm talking about is not the most high-end battery from my dad's company. The battery I'm talking about can already be mass-produced. I have already planned how to commercialize it. My dad has already approved this plan, but he needs a more suitable entry point to intervene in the market. It is no exaggeration to say that if the market feedback of Qixuan Motorcycle is successful, then my dad’s company will be successful. It is possible to lead the transition from old fuel vehicles to pure electric vehicles, and my father’s company will become the largest battery supplier in the country and even the world.”
Shi Lei lowered his head and eliminated the exaggeration in what Kong Yue said. This cooperation is actually feasible.
However, it was not as simple as Qixuan giving out five points of shares. Shi Lei had to take advantage of the Kong family.
Having been in contact with Heika a lot, Shi Lei knows better than anyone else that new energy, or the transformation from traditional energy to electric energy, is a major problem that humans on earth urgently need to solve. There is no conclusion yet on how many years the traditional energy resources contained in the earth can keep the earth developing like this. However, most accounts are between fifty and a hundred years.
This means that one hundred years from now, when traditional energy sources are exhausted, humans on this earth may face the danger of returning to ancient times.
Of course, breakthroughs in the fields of wind power, solar energy, etc. will not turn the brightly lit earth into darkness instantly. However, it is absolutely impossible to continue to be like now, with the streets full of cars and the sky full of airplanes. things. At that time, the competition for energy will become a necessity for the development of every country. It is not only a necessity for development, but also a necessity for survival.
If there will really be a Third World War in this world, it will definitely be caused by energy issues.
However, Shi Lei did not completely believe what Kong Yue said. After all, the research and development of new energy sources was a huge problem worldwide. It's not that Shi Lei doesn't believe that a Chinese company can produce the most advanced technology, but because it is always an extremely difficult process from technology to mass production and to the civilian field.
"What about the cost?" Shi Lei raised his head and asked a crucial question.
"The cost of battery packs for electric bicycles will be slightly higher than traditional lithium batteries or nickel-metal hydride batteries, but it is only about 30% higher. In terms of later maintenance, this cost can definitely be saved." Kong Yue said extremely Be certain.
Shi Lei shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm asking about. Since your father has agreed to your testing of the market, the cost must have been reduced to the minimum. What I'm asking about is your father's company, which ones can't be put into civilian use yet." Electrical storage technology in the field..."
Kong Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I can tell you this? This is a huge business secret."
Shi Lei expected that Kong Yue would say this, and he said: "If you want to cooperate, then the cooperation itself must be based on mutual shareholding between Qixuan and your father's company. I can help you create a new company I will invest in you, but it will never be exchanged for shares.”
