If you cheat, money will follow

early morning.

The Central Council held an emergency meeting.

All relevant ministries and commissions participated, and leaders personally presided over it.

After the meeting started, the leader said:

"Everyone, I have called you here so late. I believe everyone knows what is going on."

"Now, we need to come up with a response."

"Ministry of Industry*, you are the leading department in the industry. Let me first share your views."

"Okay, everyone, let me share my views..." The person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said:

"I think Leda Investment's approach, although a bit radical, is very meaningful."

"Most of the more than 1500 battery companies above designated size in the country are technologically backward and those that cheat on subsidies."

"Cleaning it up through market-based means can make the market order more standardized."

"It can also avoid mutual internal friction, give full play to technological advantages, and explore overseas markets."

"Department of Science and Technology, what do you think?"

"Okay. After Leda Investment held a press conference this morning, comrades from the Jiangnan Provincial Science and Technology Department went to Leda Automobile and inspected their batteries on-site." The person in charge of the Science and Technology Department said:

“After on-site inspection, we found that Luca Investment has indeed developed a revolutionary and cross-generational product.”

"What did you say? As far as we know, solid-state batteries in other countries are still at the laboratory level."

"And Leda Investment has entered the mass production and commercial stage..."

"It shows that the absolute right to speak in the new energy industry is already in our hands, and we no longer need to rely on others."

"Although Leda Investment's approach is radical, it also has positive considerations."

"If we don't narrow the scope and authorize accurately, we will fall into endless internal friction."

"Such a huge technological advantage is wasted, allowing foreign countries to enjoy the benefits."

"This is a lesson learned from the past. In this regard, I agree with the opinion of the industry* department."

"Ministry of Human Resources, what do you think?"

"The Human Resources Department has made a statement." The person in charge of the Human Resources Department said:

"We must be sure that in the long run, Leda Investment's approach is correct."

"But the most urgent task is how to solve the series of short-term problems?"

"What should I do about employment? The opinions below are huge. If this issue is not handled well, it will have a huge negative impact."

"There are more than 1500 battery companies above the scale. Below the scale? Tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands? I suggest you be cautious."

"Ministry of Public Affairs, what do you think?"

"Well, the problem is indeed difficult, but if the technology is allowed to spread and is difficult to manage, internal friction is inevitable. So, is it recommended to appropriately broaden the scope?" said the person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security.

"Issuance department, what do you think?"

"Send me a message." The person in charge of the development department said:

"This matter itself has little to do with us, but because it involves the children of employees, it has a lot to do with it..."

"Haha, Lao Liu, I think you should take the lead..." Someone suggested.

"We can take the lead, but it depends on Lao Li's attitude." The person in charge of the development department smiled.

"I have been dreaming and planning for so many years. I saw the dawn of victory and just took it away. How could it make sense?"

The leader also smiled: "The Ministry of Industry has indeed been under a lot of pressure in recent years, Lao Liu, please continue."

"Okay, let me express my views from three aspects:" the head of the development department continued:

"First, make a statement."

"I very much agree with Leda Investment's approach."

"The battery market is very large, but if you add hundreds or thousands of companies, it will become very small."

"The 17 companies, plus the possible entry of BYD, a total of 18 companies, since they have been given the convenience of fully monopolizing the domestic market, they must bear the risks and responsibilities of technological research and development of overseas markets."

"This point has been made clear by Lucda Investment in the technology authorization documents."

"And once liberalization is implemented, there will inevitably be companies that only enjoy rights but do not assume responsibilities."

"We all know that these companies are short-sighted and unruly."

“It’s not good at doing research and development, but it’s good at internal friction. This must be put an end to this.”

"Second, there is the issue of employment."

"I think this problem is not a problem and can be easily solved."

"When an industry has the right to speak upstream, then the prosperity of the downstream is inevitable."

"Downstream terminal companies are equipped with the world's leading solid-state batteries to break into the international market and gain market share and profits. Do they need to expand production? Do they need workers to expand production?"

"Moreover, not only power batteries, but also the consumer electronics industry also need solid-state batteries."

"As far as I know, more than 10 of these companies have been planning domestic mergers and acquisitions before. Part of it can also be absorbed through mergers and acquisitions."

"Third, we have to note that there are technological innovation requirements in the technology authorization documents of Leda Investment."

“When a company’s energy density reaches 1000WH/KG, it no longer needs to pay patent fees.”

"At the same time, it also has the qualification for secondary authorization."

"This is a disguised form of encouraging companies within the battery alliance to vigorously carry out research and development work."

“It is laying the groundwork for the next stage of technology diffusion.”

“Such a technology diffusion method is better than direct licensing from Lucda Investment.”

"It is more conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm and initiative of enterprises within the alliance."

"Finally, I would like to emphasize that through this matter, we must send a signal and a clear direction..."

"That is, we should raise the flag for enterprises that devote themselves to research and development and are pioneering and enterprising..."

"Instead of standing up for companies that are not enterprising and weak..."

"I think this is very necessary and very important."

“Only in this way can we promote the upgrading of industrial structure and achieve the goal of technological innovation.”

…………

After 2 days.

The place is bustling with people and chaos.

The Central Academy issued internal documents in the name of the state office:

"Opinions on Further Promoting the Transformation and Upgrading of the New Energy Industry to Achieve High-Quality Development"

It's not a notice, it's an opinion.

The first article in the "Opinions" is extremely targeted.

All localities are required to effectively improve their political stance, deepen their ideological understanding, and obey the overall development situation.

The meaning behind the words is obvious.

It also supports Leda Investment and reduces pressure on the Battery Alliance.

Then, the "Opinions" provide policy support for solid-state batteries from multiple dimensions.

Including: precise implementation of subsidies, encouraging industry mergers and acquisitions, promoting technological innovation, exploring overseas markets, strengthening product supply, strengthening industry self-discipline, etc.

Moreover, in some specific aspects, this document is more radical than the investment threshold conditions of Leda.

The intention of supporting the strong and eliminating the weak, and supporting the strong and eliminating the weak, is very obvious.

The clear purpose is to further increase industry concentration and promote the wave of mergers and acquisitions within the industry and the Great Leap Forward.

Among them, several are of great concern.

Subsidies are being implemented accurately:

From the date of publication of the opinions, the subsidy policy will only subsidize solid-state battery products from battery alliance companies.

Other products of battery alliance companies, as well as products of other companies, will no longer enjoy subsidies.

At the same time, it was also emphasized that companies in the battery alliance will continue to enjoy the subsidy policy after their energy density exceeds 2wh/kg within two years.

For enterprises that have not made breakthroughs, subsidies will be stopped.

Whether you can enjoy subsidies will directly determine the competitiveness of an enterprise.

The technology is the same but the cost is different. How can we compete?

Encouraging industry mergers and acquisitions:

An exit timetable has been directly formulated for backward production capacity.

After December 2017, 12, the sale of sodium-sulfur batteries and lead-acid batteries is prohibited in the market.

After December 2020, 12, the sale of liquid lithium batteries is prohibited.

This shows that there is not much time left for foreign giants.

Only 4 years.

In 4 years, if foreign companies cannot launch competitive solid-state batteries...

In the world's largest battery market, there will be no room for them to survive.
