Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 201: Fight for development time

Dongyang City, China Construction Bank.

"3000 billion!!?"

When Fan Jinyou, president of Dongyang Head Office, heard that Longteng Technology Group wanted to apply for a loan of 300 billion,

I was so scared that my gallstones were about to burst!

Zhang Qing nodded, then formally submitted their sodium battery business development plan and said:

"I think based on our group's current fixed assets and flow situation, as well as core key technologies such as shale oil mining, photolithography machines, and chip manufacturing, there shouldn't be any problems with a loan application of 300 billion, right?"

After Fan Jinyou heard Zhang Qing's words, his little heart slowly calmed down.

The reason why he was so surprised just now was not because of whether he could get a loan.

The main reason is that the amount is so large that it is simply unheard of...

At least he doesn't seem to have heard of any private company that wants to borrow 300 billion.

Fan Jinyou couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I also know that with the strength of your group, let alone 300 billion, if it triples, there will definitely be a lot of capital rushing to acquire it."

"But this amount is really too big, I definitely can't handle it here..."

As he spoke, he looked at the loan application form and plan again.

“Sodium batteries and swap stations?”

"Well, this is our group's latest project."

"Dr. Kang took the lead?"

"Correct."

"I can rest assured that."

Fan Jinyou nodded and said: "Let's do it. I will take the plan to the Yanjing head office to report now. Whether it can be loaned depends on the decision of the head office."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, President Fan."

So this loan application was quickly brought to the Yanjing Head Office by President Fan. The 300 billion loan application immediately shocked the entire senior leadership of China Construction Bank.

Although they have never accepted such large loans, they are basically major national infrastructure projects, and the loan recipients are also state-owned enterprises and the like.

Three hundred billion...

A highway running from north to south can be built.

After holding a meeting to study the loan application, they finally couldn't make up their mind, so they continued to submit the application and asked the Energy Bureau and the Ministry of Science and Technology what they wanted.

After seeing the application, the leaders of the two bureaus immediately called on the leaders of China Construction Bank and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to hold a special meeting.

The topic of the meeting also changed from whether it is possible to get a loan to whether the power exchange plan is really feasible.

In fact, in the past few years, some people have constantly proposed that the country should take the lead in formulating a battery standard and promoting new energy battery replacement solutions.

But for various reasons, this matter has been on hold.

In fact, if we really want to implement a battery replacement program, the best time is to unify battery standards when we first start implementing new energy strategies.

But at that time, domestic battery technology was still very immature. If this standard was forcibly implemented, it would be a huge resistance to the development of new energy sources.

From a consumer psychology point of view, every user with a poor battery condition tends to replace his poor battery with a good battery, while users with good batteries are unwilling to invest their own batteries, which will cause This battery swap mode doesn't work at all.

Unless the user's own charging path is directly cut off, there is no other choice but to replace the battery.

If the battery technology is mature and stable, and the cost of use for users is relatively low, this may still be feasible. However, when battery technology is mixed and prices remain high, it is simply not feasible.

The most important thing is that at that time, we didn’t know whether this new energy strategy would work.

What if so much money is spent, battery technology cannot be developed, consumers do not buy it, and new energy cannot be implemented?

Finally, at the beginning of the matter, no one knew how to formulate this standard.

If it is too high, it is impractical. If it is too low, it will need to be replaced later, which is a huge project.

After missing this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to implement battery standards later.

At the meeting, leaders from many parties expressed their opinions and the discussion was heated, but in the end all the questions pointed to one thing:

Can Kangchi develop a sodium-ion battery with high energy density and low cost?

If it can, then the feasibility of this matter is naturally very high.

This can not only promote the strategy of new energy development and solve the problem of carbon emissions,

At the same time, it can also solve the energy storage problem of the power grid. This alone is worthy of support.

What's more, if Longteng Technology, a private company, can use its technological advantages to guide industry reform, there is no need for the country to come forward as the black face and forcefully promote new standards to offend so many car companies, battery manufacturers and ordinary consumers...

So if this wave succeeds, they can win three times.

Simply wonderful!

"Technically, I trust Dr. Kang very much." Chief Lu assured, patting his chest.

"Since he has the courage to play such a big game, he must be absolutely sure of the technology. So as long as this model works, I will definitely support it with both hands."

"And this is actually just a normal investment behavior of a private company. Even if the project fails, as long as the entire investment process complies with regulations, we have no reason to blame them. Instead, we should thank them for taking risks and helping us find a path through trial and error."

"But isn't the amount of normal investment a bit too big..." the leader of CCB said with a bitter smile, "It will be 300 billion in the initial stage, and additional investment may be needed later. In the event of a thunderstorm, how can such a big hole be filled? ?”

"I'm going to correct your concept on this." Chief Lu asked with a smile, "Let me ask you, how much does Longteng Group think you are worth now?"

"Uh...one trillion?"

"Okay, then we count one trillion, but where did this trillion come from? Dr. Kang used the technology he developed and worked hard to make the cake. It's not like we gave it to him, nor is it like Hengda It's like using leverage, even if he really smashes the cake, it can't be called a hole at all, right?"

"The truth is this, but I feel a little distressed..."

"People don't feel sorry for you. Why don't you think so highly of Dr. Kang? I think you were frightened by Hengda and got an occupational disease. All you think about all day long is risk, risk, risk. Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid for ten years." Jing Sheng has lost his aggressive spirit."

The leader of CCB smiled but did not refute.

"Ahem, now that a preliminary consensus has been reached, there is another issue."

The leader of the Energy Bureau said,

"Do our power grid companies and Three Barrels of Oil want to get involved? After all, they may not be able to handle such a big deal on their own."

Commander Lu immediately said with a smile: "Why, do you think someone is going to take away your three barrels of oil job?"

"What?" the leader of the Energy Bureau immediately retorted, "You, Lao Lu, are allowed to protect the calf, but we are not allowed to protect the calf?"

"Then it depends on whether your calf can live up to expectations."

Chief Lu said unceremoniously,

"In this matter, I think it is better for us not to get involved in the early stage, so as not to send out the wrong signal, and end up being the bad guy."

"But you, the Energy Bureau, still have to give you the support and help you deserve. When their plate gets bigger, just let them give you some."

"In fact, in my opinion, both private companies and state-owned enterprises are our companies, especially Dr. Kang's company. Each of them is deeply rooted in China, and there is actually no difference between them and state-owned enterprises."

"If this doesn't work, then we will go to the Presbyterian Council for review."

Chief Lu's words were actually helping Kang Chi maximize his interests.

He actually knows very well that if this project succeeds, it will capture at least half of the market for three barrels of oil, and the future potential is unlimited. It is definitely impossible for Kang Chi to eat alone, and he will have to share some soup to stop some people's mouths. .

Therefore, it is inevitable for the power grid and Three Barrel Oil to enter the market and become state-owned enterprises.

The key lies in the timing of their entry.

If you enter too early, it will definitely not be a good thing for Kang Chi.

Only when the size of the cake has basically stabilized and then let them enter the market can Kangchi maximize its profits.

What Chief Lu can do for Kang Chi is to delay their entrance and give Kang Chi time to develop.

Naturally, other leaders also understood what Chief Lu meant.

If this matter really comes to the Presbytery, for public image reasons, they will definitely support Chief Lu and choose Kang Chi to be the reform pioneer.

Moreover, Chief Lu's proposal was considered a concession by both parties, so the leaders of the Energy Bureau did not ask for trouble and finally agreed to the plan.

After the meeting, Chief Lu immediately called Kang Chi and conveyed to him the content and results of their meeting.

"...That's about it. I've bought you three years. If your project can be successful by then, you may have to sell some shares to them at a valuation. But don't worry, I guarantee that you can control at least 51% of the absolute shares. controlling interest."

Although Kang Chi didn't know the details of their discussion, it could be seen from the results alone that this was definitely the greatest benefit that Chief Lu could get for him.

And three years is enough time for him to completely expand this business.

When the time comes to sell the shares, you will definitely be able to get a huge amount of money back!

"Well, I understand. Thanks to the leader for his support."

"It's okay. Just work hard and try to get out the sodium battery you mentioned as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
