Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 202 The former first brother

In the next month, Kang Chi began to enter the high-intensity work of the company with food and accommodation.

However, for convenience, he asked Zhang Qing to set up a living room behind his office. This working mode was almost not inconvenient for him.

He really regards the company as his own home...

In the research and development process of sodium batteries, Kangchi did not first produce samples in the laboratory like traditional battery research and development, which was a bit unnecessary for him.

He directly chose to create a production line prototype.

He started mass production experiments when he came up, and he is probably the only one in the world who dares to do this...

However, this is still his own company, and it is his own money that is burned. Even if the people below have objections, they can only bury it in their hearts and obey him, otherwise he will get out if Kang Chi just says a word.

It's so cool to just say it.

Thanks to the drawing efficiency of the plotter, Kangchi was particularly active in the process of rolling out the production line this time. He was personally responsible for the final assembly of basically all the production line equipment.

After the final assembly, he didn't care whether it worked or not, and just gave it to Yan Hui for testing. The results of each test were, not surprisingly, in line with the technical requirements proposed by Kangchi in the project planning.

This made Yan Hui deeply feel again what a monster is!

Obviously, others may not be able to produce things in the laboratory, but this guy can directly mass-produce them for you by building production equipment.

Just ask you if you agree?

However, a battery production line needs to go through more than 20 processes. Coupled with the upstream raw material production equipment, there are hundreds of types of equipment required.

Of course, Kangchi cannot manufacture everything by itself. In fact, most of the equipment is purchased, and then through improvement and debugging, it can meet the standards for producing sodium batteries.

Even if they have to be made by themselves, most of the parts are still outsourced if they can be outsourced, and made in-house if they can't be outsourced, giving full play to the advantages of China's huge and complete industrial system.

Although in the past month, the entire R&D department has not produced even a semi-finished battery,

But with the gradual improvement of the production line, just like repairing water pipes, everyone can vaguely feel that the time for them to build the entire water pipe and turn on the faucet to release the water is getting closer and closer.

I just don’t know if this water quality will work...

In addition to the R&D department's intensive recommendation of sodium battery projects, Zhang Qing's power swap station project, after receiving a 300 billion loan, has also been operating at full capacity, quickly recruiting troops and starting to deploy it nationwide.

In order to cooperate with their power exchange strategy, the Energy Bureau is also unambiguous.

First of all, the power grid company has signed a 3-year energy storage agreement with Datang Heavy Industry, promising that the valley electricity price for Datang Heavy Industry's power swap station project will be 0.16% off the usual electricity prices in various places. The average cost of electricity is only yuan.

且谷时时间，除了晚上22:30到次日8:00，还额外增加了中午11:00-14:00，足足12.5个小时都算谷时。

In terms of three barrels of oil, it directly transferred almost 5,000 gas station sites with high vacancy rates to Datang Heavy Industries due to too dense a network of outlets.

Although there was no document issued in black and white, judging from the three barrels of oil and the abnormal attitude of the power grid company, leaders everywhere, even if they are fools, can feel the strangeness revealed in this incident. Therefore, when Datang Heavy Industry negotiated with the local departments for the site of power swap stations, they were generally quite cooperative. In just one month, Datang Heavy Industries, with the assistance of Three Barrels of Oil, signed a contract for the initially planned 30,000 power swap stations. outlets.

Four thousand of them are high-speed service area outlets. Basically, there is a power swap station in every other service area. The distance between two power swap stations is not more than 100 kilometers.

As for the technical standards and design plans of the power swap station and battery, Kangchi mainly left it to Yan Hui's team. He was originally engaged in precision equipment. For this kind of precise docking and power swap work, it is actually not difficult to get started. big.

After Yan Hui conducted an in-depth inspection and analysis of Weilai's battery swap station, he first formulated a preliminary set of battery standards, and then asked Zhang Qing to take this standard and Kangchi's requirements to Jianghu City, Jiangbei Province, to find Qirui Automobile.

Because of their cooperation with SAIC, Qirui once had a well-known queue for car repairs. However, with their strong will and improved product quality, they not only survived the most difficult start-up period, but also became the leader of domestically produced cars. The first brother.

But since 2012, Qirui has been on the decline, gradually distanced itself from the first-tier independent brands such as Changan, Great Wall, BYD, etc., and its domestic market share is getting smaller and smaller.

In the monthly vehicle sales list, their best-selling model Tiggo 8 often does not even make it into the top thirty.

Qi Rui is old.

This old phenomenon can be seen in many places.

It is said that Qirui is like a science and engineering man in its own brand, only knowing about technology. This concept makes them unable to keep up with the marketing methods of the times.

Even if the product is actually very good, the marketing methods are always one step behind, and they often even make jokes and destroy their image.

With old-fashioned ideas, poor marketing, and old-fashioned design, how can you outperform others?

If they can't play well, they won't have money. Without money, they won't be able to develop new technologies. As a result, they will be even worse off than fuel vehicles on the track of new energy development.

Fortunately, in recent years, through their export strategy, several of their main fuel vehicles have achieved very impressive results in overseas markets, and their lives are actually not too bad.

But after all, he is the former king. As long as there is a chance, who wouldn't want to return to the wave of the king?

When Qirui Chairman Xie Jingsen received the strategic cooperation invitation from Datang Heavy Industries and learned that Datang Heavy Industries’ initial investment scale was 300 billion, he was immediately shocked.

At the same time, he also immediately realized that this might be their opportunity to return to subversion in the domestic market!

The only pity is that their role this time is OEM design and manufacturing.

Zhang Qing saw the worry in Xie Jingsen's eyes, so she immediately added:

"If you think our solution is feasible and are optimistic about our model, you can also choose to launch Qirui's own tram-separated cars in accordance with our battery standards and enjoy our battery swap service."

After hearing this, Xie Jingsen hesitated.

After all, no one knows whether this plan will work. In the early stage, just act as a foundry and use other people's money to test the waters, which is the lowest risk.

If the effect is good, it will not be too late for them to enter the game themselves.

"I will seriously consider it, but in the early stage, maybe it is indeed a good choice to help you do the work."

Zhang Qing nodded and did not force it.

Next, she conveyed the design requirements proposed by Kang Chi, and then began to discuss design fees, OEM fees, drafting cooperation contracts and other trivial matters...
