Chapter 121 Chen Chang's Exiled Satellite
During this period, Chen Changliu was very busy, busy with interviews, busy with setting up a battery research department, and busy with negotiations with government departments.
On January 9, Zhonghuajia and Huadong Town reached an agreement to buy 100 acres of industrial land at a base price of 150,000 per acre in the area in the central part of Huadong Town that had been connected to three roads and one leveled.
At the same time, Zhonghuajia was given the greatest preferential treatment in terms of tax reduction and exemption. The government also actively helped Zhonghuajia contact banks and borrowed 10 million from ICBC.
It can be said that Zhonghuajia only paid 5 million in cash in the early stage of buying this land, which greatly reduced the financial pressure of Zhonghuajia and allowed more funds to be invested in research and development.
On the sofa in the reception area of Chen Changliu's office, he looked at the man in his early 30s, wearing a pair of glasses and a bookish air opposite him.
This was a doctoral student in the field of batteries from Central South University introduced by a headhunter. During his doctoral studies, he published many papers and participated in many research projects on batteries. He was a main force and a technical master.
It can be said that he has a certain reputation in the industry, and many companies engaged in the battery field have already set their sights on him.
"Hello, Dr. Liu Yang, I'm glad to meet you. Come, have some tea!"
Liu Yang took it with a smile and said politely: "Mr. Chen, you're welcome!"
"Dr. Liu Yang, have you heard of our Flower Planter? I think with your achievements, many companies should be vying for you!"
"To be honest, yes, but I will interview some companies that I am interested in, and Flower Planter is one of the companies I am interested in."
"I would like to hear more about it!"
Liu Yang took out the M1 from his pocket and said:
"I am actually a loyal customer of your company's products.
To be honest, before this, for electronic products like MP3, I have never seen domestic products that are better than those foreign brands in terms of quality and appearance.
One is your sales model, which makes me see the difference between Flower Planter and other companies.
It is more dynamic and more creative, and I think this can support my research on batteries."
Hearing Liu Yang's praise, Chen Changliu was still very happy. Who doesn't want to be praised?
But Liu Yang's last sentence made Chen Changliu even more interested.
"Oh, how do you understand Dr. Liu Yang's words?"
Chen Changliu's question made Liu Yang think for about 10 seconds before he asked:
"Mr. Chen, I want to know which field you are going to set up the battery research department? What is the ultimate goal?"
Hearing Liu Yang's words, Chen Changliu knew that this guy had great ambitions!
"It's very simple. Our research directions are lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries.
The former focuses on the present, so that the company can survive better.
And lithium batteries are divided into two directions: lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries, but you also know the advantages and disadvantages of these two.
As for which direction to go in the future, it depends on the research progress.
And power lithium batteries are the ultimate goal of my establishment of the battery research department."
Hearing Chen Changliu's words, Liu Yang's eyes lit up. He found that Chen Changliu not only did not have the arrogance of young people, but also considered the present while considering the future when considering problems.
And he has a unique vision and has set his sights on power batteries, which coincides with his philosophy.
"Dr. Liu, the mainstream of the lithium battery market now is consumer lithium batteries, do you admit this?"
Lithium batteries are mainly divided into consumer lithium batteries, power batteries and energy storage batteries according to downstream applications. From the perspective of its development context, lithium-ion batteries were first mainly used in the 3C field, that is, consumer lithium batteries.
As more and more electronic products use lithium batteries, the consumer lithium batteries used in this field are increasing rapidly every year, and Liu Yang must be aware of this.
After seeing Liu Yang nod, Chen Changliu continued to fool:
"Although the market for consumer lithium batteries is large now, I want to say that power lithium batteries will play a decisive role in the country's first industrial overtaking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "lithium inherits the country's destiny."
Liu Yang was shocked when he heard Chen Changliu's cannon. He was already one of the few people in the industry who was optimistic about the future development of power lithium batteries, but the young man who had just entered college, although he looked very mature, but a closer look still showed his immature side, actually threw such a big bomb.
Power lithium batteries will play a key role in the domestic industry overtaking?
What the hell?
"Lithium inherits the country's destiny"?
What the hell is this?
Looking at Liu Yang, who opened his mouth in shock and didn't know what to say, Chen Changliu was very satisfied with his satellite.
But it seems that he was not wrong. Before he was reborn, a certain domestic brand of electric vehicles beat the Japanese brand cars in the north and south. The sales volume added up to compete with it in numbers and words. This seems to be an explanation for overtaking on the curve.
"Lithium inherits the national destiny", this is also proposed by someone.
The times create strong people and create the "lithium era"! He remembered that in 2014, after the world established lithium batteries as the main tone of new energy power batteries, the market of "serving people with lithium" had two waves in 2015 and 2017.
These pasts are all prologues!
This round of "lithium inherits the national destiny" began on October 9, 2019, when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry would be awarded to John Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham and Yoshino Akira in recognition of their contributions to the research and development of lithium-ion batteries.
At this time, the heated discussion on the domestic "New Energy Vehicle Development Plan (Discussion Draft)" has ignited the flames of "lithium is taken for granted" in the S-share market.
The real wave of "Lithium should be used externally and externally" started from September to October 2020, when the government launched the "New Energy Vehicle Development Plan".
So, the running plans he made are not unfounded!
Liu Yang just looked at Chen Changliu intently, thinking about what he just said over and over again in his mind. Every time he thought about it, his whole body trembled, and his whole body became more excited.
After a long, long time, Liu Yang finally recovered and said to Chen Changliu with a serious expression:
"Mr. Chen, I will follow you. I hope we can see the grand scene you mentioned one day."
Chen Changliu smiled and stretched out his hand, and the two held their hands tightly.
Many years later, when the two of them were at the top of the industry, someone asked Liu Yang why he had gone to a small company like Zhonghuajia that had nothing to do with the battery field, but rejected an invitation from a car brand that was his senior at Central South University. At that time, Liu Yang recalled:
"Because the satellite that Mr. Chen launched was so big that I got excited when I thought about it, and then I fell into his trap."
