If you cheat, money will follow

Spring Festival of 12, Haizhou.

On New Year's Eve, the dining table was filled with dishes.

The braised carp is in the middle, surrounded by old hen soup, assorted casseroles, Sixi braised bran, salted duck, braised pork knuckles, bacon sausages... and so on.

There is also the essential vegetable and tofu soup.

This is the result of several days of hard work with Jiang Xia and Chang Le after Xia Qingfang rushed to Haizhou from the capital.

Jiang Zhicheng took out a jar of old wine and opened the lid, revealing a rich and fragrant aroma.

Jiang Zhicheng poured it for Chang Le and himself in turn, then held up the bowl and said:

"Come on, come on! Bring the wine and milk."

"Spring has arrived again, and everything is renewed and blooming. I wish our family a smooth work, smooth career, and even greater success in business in the new year."

"cheers!"

After finishing a bowl, Jiang Zhi's sincerity was still unfulfilled. He pursed his lips and poured another bowl for Chang Le:

"Lezi, how do you like this wine?"

"Well, it tastes pretty good, with a sour and sweet taste." Chang Le said.

Can he say it doesn't taste good?

"That's right, this is the characteristic of rice wine. It is not only sour and sweet, but also bitter, spicy, astringent and fresh, just like life." Jiang Zhicheng continued:

"Come on, Lezi, let us have another bowl."

"Don't just drink, eat the food first." Xia Qingfang stopped him.

"Okay, let's eat." Jiang Zhicheng put down the bowl.

Xia Qingfang said to Chang Le, "Lezi, you did something that made mom very happy."

"Is it about Xiaoxia becoming a teacher?" Chang Le asked, looking at Xia Qingfang's pleased expression.

"Yes. This girl just can't be idle at home. She will get into trouble if she does nothing all day long. She must have her own career." Xia Qingfang emphasized.

"Mom, didn't I say, this is my decision, what does it have to do with Chang Le?" Jiang Xia was unhappy.

"Okay! Mom knows you are sensible. This is your own decision, okay." Xia Qingfang said this, but her expression was obviously towards Chang Le.

Jiang Xia pouted and looked at Chang Le.

Chang Le smiled and stuffed a meatball into her mouth and said, "It's okay. As long as Mom is happy, it doesn't matter whose decision it is. What matters is that you are already a people's teacher and will start work after the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Xia said: "That's pretty much it."

"What Chang Le said is right. No matter whose decision it is, it can be the decision of you two. Why are you so clear about it?" Jiang Zhicheng said.

"Yes, still like a child." Xia Qingfang agreed.

"If you can't speak, don't speak. Stop your mouth." Jiang Xia deliberately picked up a piece of fat meat and stuffed it into Chang Le's mouth.

"Thank you, this piece of meat is very moist." Chang Le took a bite and licked his mouth with his tongue

"..." Jiang Xia's face burned.

Jiang Zhicheng and Xia Qingfang don't understand, but Jiang Xia understands.

This is a little fun between the two.

After dinner, the table was cleared, and the family sat in front of the TV to watch the party.

Jiang Zhicheng chatted with Chang Le about another topic.

"Lezi, I went to do some research on the company you mentioned, and also communicated with the CEO of their company." Jiang Zhicheng continued:

"What do you mean, a newly established company."

"However, their predecessor was very good. They ranked first in the world in the polymer lithium-ion battery segment, with a market share of nearly 50%. They were also the main battery supplier for fruit companies."

"Dad, although it has just been established, this company has technical background, financial strength, and technical ambitions." Chang Le explained:

"Although polymer lithium-ion battery and power battery technology are very different, I believe they have the ability to get there."

"It is recommended that if possible, pay more attention to it and provide appropriate policy support if necessary. It will grow very quickly."

"I understand this. Since you are so optimistic, why don't you invest?" Jiang Zhicheng asked

"Haha, they themselves are big players in the field of lithium-ion batteries. They have no shortage of funds and will not easily accept financing and dilute their equity..." Chang Le explained:

"And now they have a Japanese background, so they can't reach out."

"Oh, that's the same reason." Jiang Zhicheng nodded.

"Also, BMW is taking the initiative to contact them. It is interested in their technical experience and wants to include them as a battery supplier to provide power batteries for its electric vehicles." Chang Le said.

"Oh? Is this happening? They didn't tell me about this." Jiang Zhicheng became interested.

"It's not an established fact. I guess they don't think it's suitable for publicity, but the probability of success is very high. Once it is launched, with the endorsement of the BMW brand and technical guidance, the growth rate... tsk tsk!" Chang Le praised.

"This is true. BMW has great influence and will help them further expand the market to a certain extent." Jiang Zhicheng said.

The development process of CALT can be said to have been smooth sailing, with almost no difficult challenges.

In the initial stage, BMW provides step-by-step guidance to lay a solid foundation;

Entering the growth stage, because of BMW's endorsement, a large number of car brands signed supply agreements with it to boost its development.

Just five years after its establishment, the installed capacity of power battery systems has become the world's largest, ousting established battery suppliers such as Panasonic, Samsung, and LG - only referring to installed capacity.

Of course, there are policy factors that are helping, as well as the wrong direction choices made by Panasonic and other companies.

"Lezi, I remember you told me before that you were going back to Changning for the New Year this year. Why did you suddenly come to the East China Sea?" Jiang Zhicheng asked.

"Xiaoxia said that this is your first year in Donghai. I am afraid that you will be lonely, so I want to come over to accompany you and make it lively." Chang Le said.

"Haha, you are serious." Jiang Zhicheng laughed:

"Actually, it doesn't matter much. Your mother and I are both very busy at work and basically don't have much time to stay at home."

"After the New Year, your mother will rush back to the capital again. I will go to express my condolences tomorrow."

"If you can spend more time with me, let's count it some time." Chang Le said.

"Hey, your generation is very hardworking. It's okay to live in the same city. If you don't live in the same city, you will inevitably have to travel to two places." Jiang Zhicheng said.

"Yes, our place is a bit lively, but Xueqin and Xiaoya's place is deserted." Xia Qingfang was convinced.

"So, Dad and Mom, you will still go to Jiangzhou after retirement. Chang Le's father and mother will also go to Jiangzhou, so that you don't have to travel between two places." Jiang Xia interjected.

"Yes, for your consideration, it will definitely be in a city." Xia Qingfang nodded.

"By the way, Dad. One more thing. After the holiday, Yu Chengdong will lead a team to the East China Sea to inspect and choose a location to build a new production base." Chang Le said.

"Building another production base? I remember that the Changning base has just been completed." Jiang Zhicheng asked.

"The nature is different. The production base in Changning City faces the domestic market, while the East China Sea side will face the European market." Chang Le explained:

"Yu Chengdong and the others have just finalized an agreement with Porsche. Porsche will introduce the power system of Leda Automobile for use in the SUV models under development."

"As a condition, their distribution system in Europe will help Leda Auto sell its models."

"The production capacity of the Jiangzhou production base and the Changning base that has been put into use is very tight. In the short term, it can take care of the European market. In the long run, it will definitely be stretched."

"So, Yu Chengdong decided to build a new production base. In addition, the president of Porsche's domestic region will also come to inspect it."

"This is a big deal. I need to make arrangements and do the reception work." After Jiang Zhicheng said that, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

"Dad, don't worry these days. Yu Chengdong and Alink won't leave until after the Lantern Festival, so there's still time. Are you calling now to make the old scalpers in the office have a bad year?" Chang Le stopped him.

"Haha, that's right, it's really appropriate." Jiang Zhicheng put down his phone.
