Chapter 248 Mr. Lei's Visit Again
Guo Yuan is going to Yanhu Township in GJ County, Ali, which is more than 1480 kilometers away from LS.

Tashi and two other Tibetans led the way in a car, while Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo followed in their car.

This nearly 1500-kilometer journey took Guo Yuan almost 3 days to arrive.

From time to time along the way, there will be patches of cumulonimbus clouds and several blizzards.

At this time, Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo were very glad that they had listened to Tashi's words, if this bad weather was combined with fog, something might happen.

After finally arriving in GJ County, Guo Yuan and the others found a hotel to recuperate.

The next morning, the group continued to set off and drove to the salt lake in Yanhu Township.

After getting off the car, Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo saw a beautiful scenery.

The blue sky and white clouds, green grass and green land, flocks of cattle and sheep, and the calm and clear blue lake stretch as far as the eye can see. Standing by the lake has a feeling that the soul has been purified.

Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo walked around the lake. Guo Yuan took photos and collected the water in the salt lake. Lin Yumo took out the portable water quality detector in his backpack to test the water in the salt lake.

"Guo Yuan, I feel that the salt lake here may not be so easy to develop." Lin Yumo said while taking the water samples collected by Guo Yuan and putting them away.

"What's the reason?"

"First of all, we drove here for three days. Although we have a rest at night, it would take 2 to 3 days to drive a truck or a transport vehicle. The transportation cost, Security is an issue.

Secondly, I just tested it with a portable detector. The lithium content in this salt lake is indeed a lot, about 0.3g per liter.

But as far as I know, the main source of lithium in the salt lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is minerals from Cenozoic volcanoes and geothermal activities.

These lithium elements are brought to the surface through volcanic and geothermal effects and gather in the salt lake. Geothermal heat will also accelerate the evaporation of water, which is equivalent to accelerating the concentration of lithium elements in the negative electrode.

In this case, in addition to lithium, the content of magnesium in the lake will certainly not be low.

Because magnesium and lithium have very close ionic radii and similar chemical properties, the possibility of the two co-existing in salt lake brine is very high. To extract lithium, magnesium and lithium must be separated.

The higher the content of magnesium ions, the more difficult and costly the separation.

The magnesium element in this salt lake is basically the same as the lithium element, and the cost of separation may not be smaller than if you buy lithium ore directly.

The last and most important point is that the salt lake is located in XZ, and there are many obstacles to mining. Recently, environmental protection is the most important topic. It may be difficult for you to obtain a permit.

So my suggestion is not to think about this side, be decisive, go to Bolivia to buy lithium mines! "

After listening to Lin Yumo's words, Guo Yuan sighed. Lin Yumo knew better than him in these aspects. Lin Yumo said so. It seems that it is impossible to mine lithium ore in China.

Then there is only one way to go to Bolivia.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need for follow-up investigations.

That afternoon, Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo drove back to the flight.

The two drove for another three days and returned to LS, then Guo Yuan directly called the people in the company and asked them to help dispose of the RV.

He and Lin Yumo bought tickets for the next day and returned to Shanghai.

Guo Yuan and Lin Yumo walked for 12 days this time, plus the week they stayed in Hangzhou, Lin Yumo was out for 19 days, more than half a month.

So this time she did not go to Shanghai with Guo Yuan, but returned to Bingzhou.

She, the CEO, has been away for half a month, Su Yurou is probably scolding her mother, if she doesn't go back, Su Yurou might send someone to find her.

After Guo Yuan returned to the company, he also had a lot of things to deal with.

After working hard for three days, I finally finished all the accumulated work.

After finishing the last job, Guo Yuan got up from the chair and stretched: "It's finally done, Shu Qing, I'll go home first, you"

"Boss, please wait a moment. I just received a call from Mr. Liu, saying that Mr. Lei from Rice will come over this afternoon."

"Boss Lei? Why is he here?" Guo Yuan asked with a frown.

"It should be to talk to you about making cars with rice. Mr. Liu looked at your work arrangement and found that you are free this afternoon, so he agreed."

"Uh, forget it, I won't go back, you help me arrange it!"

"Good boss."

At 3:[-] p.m. Mr. Lei came to Future Technology.

Cheng Shuqing led Mr. Lei to Guo Yuan's office. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Lei asked, "Mr. Guo, I heard you went to XZ recently?"

"Well, I went to relax with my girlfriend."

Guo Yuan did not say that he went to XZ to investigate the Salt Lake.

Guo Yuan never thought of exposing his relationship with the Zero One battery from the beginning to the end.

A tree is as beautiful as a forest, but the wind will destroy it. Future technology itself has shown its leading position in AI.

If it also shows extraordinary strength in industries such as batteries, it will definitely be targeted by interested people.

In order to avoid this, Guo Yuan placed the Zero one battery overseas.

Now that Zero One Battery is established overseas, Guo Yuan will naturally not take the initiative to reveal his relationship with Zero One Battery.

Mr. Lei didn't think too much after listening to Guo Yuan's words. He smiled and said, "XZ is indeed a good place to relax. Unfortunately, I'm old and I can't move around anymore."

"Boss Lei, you came here to talk about this, right?" Guo Yuan asked.

"Of course not, Mr. Guo, have you heard that Zero One Battery has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with BYD?"

"I haven't heard of it. If you didn't say that I wouldn't know about it." Guo Yuan replied with a confused look.

"Mr. Guo, it's normal that you don't know. BYD has not made this matter public. It's just that there is a friend of mine inside BYD, and I got the news from him.

After this cooperation between BYD and Zero one battery, the two parties can be said to be wearing a pair of pants. Zero one battery should hand over all semi-solid lithium battery technology to BYD, and every time BYD sells a car battery, it will give it to Zero one. half of the battery's profits.

This is not good news for us! "Mr. Lei said in a serious tone.

"Why is it not good news? Is Rice not planning to use BYD's batteries for making cars?"

"If there is a choice, who would want to be controlled by others? Originally, I wanted to find out the status of the Zero One battery, and go to talk to them in person! Now it seems that BYD has taken the lead.

Moreover, the practice of Zero one battery is to hand over all the bargaining power to BYD. In the future, rice-made cars will inevitably be controlled by others in terms of batteries. "Boss Lei said unwillingly.

　Today is an update. Today, I met with my girlfriend’s family and talked about the engagement. After the chat, I sent my girlfriend’s family back. It’s more than 10:40 when I came back. Hurry up. I just coded out this chapter, everyone forgive me.
