I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Haha, Professor Chen, I just want to know how far the batteries in the laboratory have progressed."

"I am very satisfied with the current level, which is enough for electric vehicles."

"Your research was very successful!"

The situation of ternary lithium batteries is very clear. As long as it is this type of battery, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

Professor Chen's performance and temperature are better than CATL's ternary lithium, which has completely exceeded Jiang Hao's expectations.

Of course, there is one thing that he still has doubts about.

After all, the batteries are currently only tested under laboratory conditions, and there is definitely some gap between the products produced under actual factory production lines and those produced under laboratory conditions.

"Professor Jiang, have you studied batteries before?"

"Haha! I haven't studied this. I'm actually a layman when it comes to battery technology."

"But I have invested in an electric car company, Xiaopeng Motors, and they have already built a factory in Quang Nam province."

"We will purchase batteries at that time. I expect that if we can make it in time, we can recommend our Kirin batteries to them."

Now, Professor Chen has produced results even faster than Jiang Hao expected.

Originally, he thought it would be fine if he could produce results within three years.

Not to mention catching up with CATL, CATL itself has no shortage of orders for power batteries and simply cannot finish production.

It’s more than enough for his family’s Kirin batteries.

This was also the opportunity for Kirin Battery, which Jiang Hao founded at the time.

Now it seems that their Kirin Battery may be even better and completely take the initiative in the entire electric vehicle market!

If you want to take complete initiative, this time point becomes more urgent.

The three companies of NIO, Xiaopeng and Li Auto are currently under intensive development and will gradually start production and launch their products next year.

These were the customers Jiang Hao was targeting when he invested in lithium batteries, and he had to seize the opportunity.

Of course, there is also the influence of foreign trams, but the development of foreign trams is slower than that of domestic trams.

"So that's how it is, Mr. Jiang. Now the first generation of batteries has been completed."

"In the second generation, I plan to try adding sodium ions and further try a better type of power battery. What do you think?"

Jiang Hao naturally understood what Professor Chen meant.

"Of course! The laboratory in Oujiang District has just been built. You can move there to continue your research."

"You don't have to worry about R&D funding. The next payment will be deposited into the laboratory's account immediately."

"I promise you here that as long as you are willing to continue your research, I will let the company bear all the expenses!"

In essence, the money used for Kirin Battery was not Jiang Hao’s, but government loan money.

He just played the role of credit guarantor, so he didn't feel bad about it.

After making the promise to Professor Chen, it was time for Secretary You to give praise.

From Professor Chen’s own research work to the praise from graduate students from Jiangnan University and the three universities.

It was not until an hour and a half later that Jiang Hao got on Secretary You's special car and headed to Songjiang Municipal Party Committee.

"Mr. Jiang, does Professor Chen's battery really have a future?"

In the car, it was not until this moment that Secretary You actually asked Jiang Hao about the battery.

Although he respects Professor Chen's academic and research achievements, he naturally trusts Jiang Hao more in business, especially in the battery market.

When investing in the battery company, it was he who asked to delegate power to Jiang Hao.

A huge funding hole has been opened up, and now that the product is ready, Secretary You wants to hear Jiang Hao's opinion on whether he can proceed to the next step.

“The battery is very successful. Although it is the first generation of batteries, it has met the current market demand.”

"The sales of electric vehicles of Tesla and BYD are increasing every month, and there are subsidies for new energy vehicles from the government."

"The battery market is huge, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions are not a problem."

Objectively speaking, the performance of the lithium battery designed by Professor Chen is completely up to standard.

For Jiang Hao, the rest depends on building factories and production lines and how to reduce the cost of batteries.

“Is there really such a big market?”

Secretary You had a complicated expression on his face, and he still didn't quite believe what Jiang Hao said.

In fact, what Jiang Hao said was already very conservative. As long as the quality and price can be guaranteed and the output can keep up, there will be no problem with a scale of hundreds of billions.

This is one of the biggest trends in the future besides AI.

In addition, it has subverted the market of traditional fuel vehicles, and the scale of the entire market and the scale it has indirectly driven are countless!

"Have!"

In the car, Jiang Hao confirmed again with a firm look in his eyes.

“Secretary You, if you have any concerns, I can fund the construction of the factory later.”

The initial R&D costs have been covered by interest-free loans from the government.

For the next project scheduled to have high returns, Jiang Hao is naturally willing to take the risk.

"Ah~! That's not what I meant."

“To be honest, if the battery market is so big, I’m thinking about whether I can get the province to directly participate.”

Jiang Hao immediately understood what Secretary You meant.

It turned out to be a measure of whether the province should personally take part in the choice.

Although private enterprises in Jiangnan Province are more dynamic and powerful, it does not mean that state-owned capital is weak.

These days the provincial party committee will not directly participate in investment in name only, but in fact the provincial state-owned assets supervision and administration commission is responsible for participating in investment and construction within the province.

Generally, monopoly-type natural mineral resources, including highways, etc., will be involved in the name of the provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

"Secretary You, are you letting the province get involved in this to plan for a controlling stake?"

"That won't happen! Of course, you, Mr. Jiang, will still lead the company, and the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will just hold a share."

"At the same time, when building factories, we can provide better policy standards, whether in terms of loans or land use standards."

"I have no problem with that. As long as you, Secretary You, and the provincial party committee consider it carefully, that's fine."

Jiang Hao immediately agreed to Secretary You's proposal without much thought.

After all, this is a real industry, and a manufacturing industry that requires huge investment. With the direct participation of local governments, Jiang Hao will be under much less pressure.

If this were an Internet company under his name, he would naturally not agree to it.

But when it comes to building a large factory park with a target of tens of billions, even the first phase of the project will require an investment of more than one billion.

Jiang Hao fully supports the province's continued support in terms of money and land.

"Well, Secretary Rong and I have been discussing this these days."

"Now that we're there, let's talk about the details of the factory construction. Please tell me more about Kirin Batteries."

……

In just one week, Secretary You reached an agreement with the provincial party committee.

The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission invested and holds a 25% stake in Qilin Battery Co., Ltd.

At the same time, a loan of 20 billion yuan was re-granted.

Since signing the agreement, Jiang Hao has been busy communicating with his old senior, District Mayor Lu from Chengnan District.

The new Kirin Battery Park with a total planning amount of 10 billion yuan will be located in the South City District. Its specific address is south of the Software Industrial Park, which will be further away from the city.

The investment and construction funds for the first phase are 10 billion, and the land use standard is 1000 acres.

It wasn’t until another two weeks later that this major project was finally finalized!
