Chapter 231 Battery Revolution

Deepin Technology officially issued a document announcing the holding of a technology authorization conference, which aroused heated discussions among netizens and caused battery companies to take action and make full preparations to go to Jingzhou City to participate.

No doubt the world is watching the outcome of the conference to see who will come out on top.

...

"Welcome everyone to attend today's meeting."

On June 4, 2019, Jingzhou City, the headquarters of Deepin Technology Company in Longfor Science and Technology Park.

In the reception room, Meng Songyan was the first to say hello. Facing the executives and even the boss of the world-renowned battery company in front of him, he always had a faint smile on his face without any panic expression.

As the patent owner of the all-solid-state battery technology, Deepin Technology firmly holds the right to speak.

There is no need to consider whether the cooperation will collapse.

In this situation, let alone Meng Songyan, even any ordinary employee of the company would not be stage frightened.

This is the confidence given by the company.

Of course, it does not mean that any battery company can participate in today's technology licensing conference.

The battery shipments and market share have not met the requirements, and they are not even qualified to appear here.

The partner that Deepin Technology needs is to bring all-solid-state batteries into the market on a large scale as soon as possible. Even if a small battery company can rise rapidly with this technology, it is a thankless task. I believe no company will do it.

If this is the case, it is better to invest in the construction of a battery base and give up the way of technology authorization.

Those who can appear here have undoubtedly conducted thorough research and investigation on Deepin Technology before coming here.

They knew that Meng Songyan did not have decision-making power, so some people lost their patience and couldn't help asking.

"Boss Meng."

"I don't know where Mr. Xu is?"

Meng Songyan followed the voice and cast his gaze over it, knowing that the person who spoke was Ito Yasufumi, the representative sent by Panasonic.

He calmly replied: "I'm sorry Mr. Ito, Mr. Xu has limited time and will only meet with the finalists." After speaking, he immediately introduced the conference process to everyone.

"Now, please submit your solid-state battery proposals, and we will announce the results later."

Xu Yun is not good at business negotiations, so instead of arguing with them, it is better to look directly at their quotations and plans.

Whoever's solution is selected will be able to obtain the authorization of Deepin Technology's solid-state battery technology.

Because this matter has been notified in advance, each family has already prepared their own plans.

Then he handed over the plan to Meng Songyan.

Waiting for the final result.

"Trouble Boss Meng." Zeng Kequn, who came over in person, did not forget to greet him politely.

He did not put on the airs of the chairman at all, even though Ningde Times is the battery company with the highest market share present.

"Chairman Zeng is polite, please wait a moment."

Meng Songyan quickly leaned over slightly to respond, as if facing a partner.

Not long after Meng Songyan's figure left, representatives of the company leaders present also began to fidget.

It is clearly a leading company in the world, but at this moment it has to wait for the verdict of fate in this reception room.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any grievances.

However, in the face of advanced battery technology, they have no second choice.

Unless you want to let the market share decline.

Eventually it was swallowed up by a competitor.

"Our plan has shown the greatest sincerity, and I believe that Deepin Technology has no reason to refuse." Seeing Zeng Kequn's worried expression, Li Ping, the chief engineer of battery technology who came with him, couldn't help but comfort him: "After all, our advantage is What other companies don’t have.”

Obviously he is more confident about this cooperation.

"I hope so."

Hearing this, Zeng Kequn moved his eyes to Li Ping, sighed secretly and threw out such a sentence.

He won't let himself relax until the final result comes out.

Mainly this time is different from previous business negotiations and cooperation, the decision-makers who have the right to speak are not strictly speaking malls.

But a scholar and researcher.

Coupled with such a young age, no one can understand his way of thinking and thoughts.

It's normal to have an upset at the end.

Several battery companies present are giants in the industry, and any one of them can quickly occupy the market if they get the technology authorization.

In a way, there is not much difference.

If we really want to talk about their advantages, I am afraid that Deepin Technology is not an overseas company.

But among the people present, whoever is most worried is definitely not the turn of Zeng Kequn and Li Ping in the Ningde era.

Yasufumi Ito is well aware of the previous friction between Neon Mathematics and Xu Yun, which will undoubtedly put them at a disadvantage.

Restlessly, he led the person in charge of the sub-region with him, and temporarily walked out of the reception room to the outside.

"What do you think our chances of winning are?"

In the corridor by the window, Lin Yong hesitated a little before responding to Ito Yasufumi's question.

"President."

"I'm afraid we will pay less than the others, which is not good for us."

As the person in charge of the domestic market, although Lin Yong wanted the company to obtain the technical authorization of Deepin Technology, the headquarters dispatched Yasufumi Ito to take charge of this cooperation negotiation.

In other words, the decision-making power of the entire plan belongs to Ito Yasufumi, which makes him unable to play even if he has different opinions.

For example, for the technical authorization fee in the plan, Yasufumi Ito only offered 10% of the battery price.

Based on his understanding of the other two companies in the country, the price offered would definitely be more than 10%, and it was almost impossible to obtain a technical authorization based on this alone.

Unless Deepin Technology does not adopt the form of exclusive authorization, it signs contracts with all battery companies present.

However, the possibility of this situation is probably not even 1% possible.

Yasufumi Ito didn't think there was anything wrong with his pricing, and he didn't forget to list the advantages of his company at this moment.

"We have always been Tesla's battery supplier, and they cooperated with us to open up their popularity in the shortest possible time."

Lin Yong obviously has some understanding of Ito Yasufumi's character, and knows that the other party's arrogance has penetrated into his bones.

In this case, he didn't continue to refute anything, but changed his angle to prepare for the follow-up.

"No matter what, we still have to be prepared. If we can't get the authorization of solid-state battery technology, the situation we face must be prepared in advance."

"As long as the battery supply to Tesla can be guaranteed, our impact will not be great in the short term." After listening to Lin Yong's words, Ito Yasufumi became serious for the first time.

But they also know in their hearts that when all-solid-state batteries start to be used by other new energy vehicle brands, it will be a question whether Tesla will choose their lithium batteries in the face of doubling market competitiveness.

...

Xu Yun in the president's office didn't know what other people thought. At this moment, he, Meng Songyan and other executives of the company were carefully reviewing the plans submitted by various battery companies.

"CATL is not only very sincere, but also has a good plan for the development of solid-state batteries in the future."

"Combined with their global market size, it is indeed the most suitable for us to cooperate with."

Xu Yun listened to other people's reports, and nodded in approval of this analysis.

He has roughly read the content of the plan just now, except that the exclusive technology authorization is not required, and the authorization fee to be paid is 30% of the selling price of the all-solid-state battery.

I have to say that Zeng Kequn is indeed determined to obtain the authorization of all-solid-state battery technology.

For this reason, he does not hesitate to reduce his own profits.

After all, although this all-solid-state battery technology has greatly reduced the manufacturing cost, which is basically at the same level as lithium batteries, but with the construction of new battery bases and modified production lines, the cost may not be very low in the early stage.

In this case, the authorization fee is still given, which is enough to show the sincerity of the other party's cooperation.

But what really interests Xu Yun is not the licensing fee, but the plan for the future development of solid-state batteries in the plan.

In Ningde's Changxiang, all-solid-state batteries will completely replace traditional lithium batteries and occupy the global market.

New energy vehicle brands equipped with all-solid-state batteries must use the same battery size.

And unified charging interface.

They even plan to build all-solid-state battery replacement stations in high-speed service areas and cities.

The energy density of all solid-state batteries is three times that of lithium batteries. Just imagine if all new energy vehicles are replaced with removable batteries, then car owners can save the time of charging, and only need to drive to the nearest battery replacement when the battery is about to run out. Station to replace the battery directly.

This completely makes up for the lack of charging time, and the time spent will be similar to the refueling process.

At that time, new energy vehicles will completely replace gasoline vehicles and truly realize the transformation of energy.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve this level, and there are all kinds of unimaginable resistance.

However, relying on technical help, at least in the next few years, there will be no problem in achieving domestic transformation.

"This plan is indeed very bold, and it can maximize the advantages of all-solid-state batteries, but it may be slightly more difficult for them to complete it alone."

Xu Yun put down the proposal book in his hand at this time, thought for a while and expressed his opinion.

"President Xu, what do you mean?"

Meng Songyan next to him seemed to have guessed something, and subconsciously blurted out his agreement.

"In addition to choosing to cooperate with King Ning, let's add BYD." Xu Yun took his words and made the final decision.

Like Ning Wang, they also paid 30% of the authorization fee. Although they didn't propose a battery replacement station plan, at least they were more sincere than Ito Yasufumi's plan.

The most important thing is that if only the Ningwang family monopolizes solid-state batteries, it may not be conducive to the development of the market.

Therefore, in Xu Yun's plan, it is to abandon the exclusive authorization method and temporarily authorize the all-solid-state battery technology to two battery companies.

When Meng Songyan heard that Xu Yun had made a decision, he didn't hesitate any longer.

Immediately answered: "It's Mr. Xu, I'll go and announce the result." After speaking, he turned and left immediately.

I can imagine Ito Yasufumi's mood after learning the result. In addition to regretting not listening to Lin Yong's opinion, he was even more worried that he would not know how to explain to the company after returning to the headquarters. The whole person is like a deflated ball, powerless, slumped on a chair with a dull expression.

Lin Yong, on the other hand, reacted quickly and hurriedly took Ito Yasufumi away from Deepin Technology.

Since they failed to obtain technology authorization, they had to return to the company as soon as possible to discuss a solution.

Otherwise, we can only wait for the market share occupied by solid-state batteries to be seized after they enter the market.

On the contrary, Zeng Kequn and Dong Enyu, the person in charge of BYD, looked delighted, and immediately followed Meng Songyan to Xu Yun's office.

...

"Thank you Mr. Xu for trusting us in Ningde."

Zeng Kequn didn't put on airs of the chairman when he faced Meng Songyan before, but now that he finally saw Xu Yun, it was even more impossible to put on airs.

After entering the office, he was the first to express his gratitude, but Dong Enyu, who was next to him, was surprised to react two seconds later.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yun was naturally very enthusiastic about choosing them as partners of Deepin Technology.

Hearing the sound, he quickly got up and asked them to sit down.

"The two are my seniors."

"Please sit down."

After a while, the three of them sat down together on the sofa next to them, and Xu Yun talked about the cooperation with them in detail.

"Although I founded Deepin Technology, what I'm good at is staying in the laboratory and dealing with various instruments, so the follow-up cooperation is mainly carried out by our company's Mr. Meng."

"In addition, we will also send laboratory researchers to guide you in the transformation of the production line."

Not long after Xu Yun finished what he was supposed to say, he set his sights on Dong Enyu alone.

A smile appeared on his face and he said in a deep voice: "I have a personal request that I hope your company can consider. Of course, whether you agree or not will not affect our cooperation."

"I hope that your company's future solid-state battery base can be built in Pingzhou City."

As a native of Pingzhou City, Xu Yun naturally has the idea of ​​contributing to his hometown.

However, because Deepin Technology does not involve entities, it cannot drive the local economy to provide jobs other than donating money.

With such an opportunity now, he would definitely not miss it.

Of course, although the other party stated in the plan that a new battery base will be built, the choice of the address involves many factors after all, so he did not include this matter in the cooperation requirements.

As he said it was a suggestion.

Dong Enyu naturally knew that Xu Yun's hometown was Pingzhou City, and it was a surprise to be able to successfully obtain the technology authorization. Naturally, there was no problem in choosing the address of just a battery base.

What's more, in addition to the battery base, they can also place a new car production base in Pingzhou City.

Therefore, there was nothing to hesitate about this request, and it was agreed almost only after thinking about it.

"Mr. Xu wants to do something for his hometown, and we definitely support it."

"Pingzhou can produce outstanding talents like Mr. Xu. It must be a good place for outstanding individuals. I want to invest in Pingzhou." Zeng Kequn took Dong Enyu's words and echoed with a smile.

The conversation has reached this point, which basically declares the end of the conference, and the contract will be signed after the on-site completion of the follow-up.

It is also worth mentioning that the contract stipulates that Deepin Technology has the right to terminate the technology authorization to the two companies.

This is also to prevent them from arbitrarily adjusting prices and affecting the normal operation of the market.

With the end of the Technology Authorization Conference, Deepin Technology released the final results through its official account on the same day.

At the same time, the two companies that have obtained technology authorization have also issued documents one after another, and announced their future plans.

Speaking of which, everyone is not surprised by this result, but after seeing the battery replacement station completely replacing the gasoline truck, I still couldn't help but get excited and can't wait for this day to come.

In addition, domestic auto brands seem to have received the news in advance, and they have tacitly published documents expressing their willingness to unify battery standards.

In the end, only Tesla has not expressed its attitude for the time being, and it is not known whether all-solid-state batteries will be used by then.

With the rapid spread of relevant news, the entire network has been boiling, causing heated discussions among netizens.

"Now domestic batteries are really on the rise. It seems that it is not long before the real use of all-solid-state batteries."

"If it is really possible to unify battery standards and set up battery replacement stations in the high-speed service areas of major cities, then I will definitely choose to buy new energy vehicles and give up petrol vehicles."

"Will the changes in the battery industry make traditional cars obsolete?"

"Although the idea of ​​battery replacement stations is difficult to realize in the short term, I am still willing to believe that the energy density of all-solid-state batteries is enough to greatly improve the performance of new energy vehicles."

"I don't believe that Tesla will give up all solid-state batteries. If it does, I'm afraid it will completely lose the domestic market."

"I have a strong hunch that new energy vehicles should not be able to sell in the short term."

...

Compared with the popularity on the Internet, Yasufumi Ito is reporting the failure of technology authorization to the company at the moment.

"President."

"We failed to obtain the all-solid-state battery technology authorization from Deepin Technology."

"Feel sorry."

In the room, Yasufumi Ito knelt and sat in front of the computer screen, not hiding the expression of self-blame on his face.

On the screen, Shinpei Honma, who is the current chairman, looks calmer.

It seems that this result has long been guessed.

"Let's go back to the headquarters first. We have only one way to go now, and that is to try our best to increase the energy density of the battery."

Honma Shinpei's voice came from the loudspeaker, and it could be seen that he didn't think the current situation was very bad for them.

In any case, their battery technology is relatively advanced. If they can achieve a technological breakthrough in a short period of time to greatly increase the energy density of the battery and narrow the gap with deep technology, then they will have a chance to maintain their current market share.

But it can only be said that they are destined not to be Xu Yun, and it is not easy to achieve a technological breakthrough under such circumstances.

From the moment Deepin Technology conquered the all-solid-state battery technology, the battery industry has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"It's the president."

Yasufumi Ito seemed to believe in himself as the chairman, and immediately set off to fly back to Dongjing after finishing the call.

As for matters in the battery industry, Xu Yun handed them over to Meng Songyan, Zeng Kequn, and the others for discussion, and they stopped intervening too much. After all, it will take some time before solid-state batteries officially enter the market from the production line to the new battery base.

In June, with the selection meeting of outstanding youths, a new list of outstanding youths was finally produced.

According to the past experience, the list will be announced on the official website of the National Natural Science Foundation of China in July, and it is also necessary for those who have obtained outstanding young talents to choose suitable projects to apply for national funding.
