Chapter 205 Looking forward to Mr. Kang’s visit and guidance

After the test of a single cell is successful, it does not mean that the battery is necessarily successful. Next, it needs to be packaged and tested, as well as various safety tests that are the most challenging for the battery.

However, Kang Chi was no longer interested in subsequent tests. He knew very well how many kilograms of batteries he made.

That's what the system uses by default on oil-producing insects.

Given the working environment of oil-mining insects, what's the point of blowing them up casually?

On the contrary, it was Zhang Qing who brought him the latest information on the lithium battery industry, which made Kang Chi interested.

After LG and CATL released their respective big moves, BYD also announced their blade battery, with an energy density exceeding 200Wh/kg.

In a temporary move, it can only produce 200Wh/kg. It can be seen that BYD's lithium battery technology is actually slightly weaker than that of the CATL era.

However, one is ternary lithium and the other is lithium iron phosphate. The two are not on the same technical route, and there is actually no comparison.

In short, after LG took the lead in the lithium battery energy density competition, news about various breakthroughs in lithium battery technology seemed to be popping up like mushrooms after a rain.

It can be said that LG’s big move has directly squeezed the bile out of many battery manufacturers.

Ordinary consumers are also very excited about this, thinking that with the breakthrough of lithium battery technology, new energy vehicles seem to be able to take off.

"Having lost orders from Tesla and facing the joint attack of LG and Songxia, although CATL appears to be stable on the surface, in fact their situation is very dangerous."

Zhang Qing slowly analyzed Kang Chi,

"Without us as a variable, unless they can really produce solid-state lithium batteries and the cost is controllable, they are likely to lose this lithium battery competition, and eventually the lithium battery market will be divided up by major car companies."

"I think with the current situation, there is no need to throw out sour plums to make CATL seriously consider this matter."

"Especially now that you've built a sodium-ion battery!"

Kang Chi thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Since you think you don't have to wait, let's go to Ningde."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

In the afternoon, Ningde Times received news from Datang Heavy Industry, and learned that Kang Chi was planning to come to Ningde to interview Mr. Zeng in person.

In fact, before this, all the batteries used by Datang Heavy Industries to manufacture oil-producing insects were purchased from CATL, and the two parties were considered old partners.

Therefore, when Zeng Yuqing received the news, his first reaction was that Datang Heavy Industries was finally ready to slap a massive order on CATL's face for the power station replacement project!

This made Zeng Yuqing's old, frowning face finally relax.

But then, he felt a little weird.

If Kangchi planned to purchase batteries, why did it acquire those small battery factories some time ago?

Zeng Yuqing was puzzled, so he had to put aside his doubts and asked his secretary to reply to Zhang Qing immediately:

[Chairman Zeng Yuqing has been in Ningde recently and is always waiting for Mr. Kang’s guidance! 】
-

How much impact can a company have on a city?

When it comes to this topic, it is estimated that no one can compare with CATL.

This company, which was established only 12 years ago, took off directly with Ningde, a third-tier city, and ranked first in the province in economic growth for four consecutive years, directly entering the ranks of the top cities in the country in terms of GDP.

Under the siphon effect of the Ningde era, more than 80 upstream and downstream lithium battery company headquarters have settled directly in Ningde, and more than 200 leading companies covering core materials, battery structural parts and smart equipment have also set up branches in Ningde. company.

Although Dahan Core has settled in Steel City and Datang Heavy Industry has settled in Dongyang, they have also given a huge boost to the development of the local economy and industrial chain, and they are expected to surpass Ningde in the future. But at least for now, in terms of the influence of enterprises on the city, it is estimated that the Ningde era is stronger.

Kang Chi, who was sitting in the car, looked at the slogans "China's New Energy Battery Capital" that could be seen everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is really a city that makes batteries."

"Well, Ningde originally had a weak economic foundation. With the establishment of a trillion-dollar enterprise, it is an absolute pillar industry for them." Zhang Qing nodded in agreement, "But now that you have developed such an exaggerated sodium battery, This whole city has to work for you..."

"It's not such an exaggeration." Kang Chi smiled, "And it would be great to work for me. I am a good boss from China who never exploits his employees. I don't know how many people are eager to come to our company."

"Well, that's true." Zhang Qing gently held her chin with her hand and smiled, "It's a pity that not every company has a good boss like you. Even if they want to be like you, they don't have the strength..."

"Is this a compliment to me?"

"No, I'm scolding you for your abnormal strength."

"..."

Originally, CATL was planning to welcome Kang Chi in the most grand way, but for safety reasons, Zhang Qing communicated with them in advance and asked them to keep a low profile.

Therefore, except for a few senior executives from the CATL era, no one knew about Kang Chi’s sudden visit to CATL.

After the two parties met, there was a usual business exchange, and then Mr. Zeng personally led Kangchi around their company's exhibition hall, showing the glorious development history and main products of the Ningde era.

Although Zhang Qing asked them to keep a low profile in advance, it was Kang Chi who came after all.

In terms of financial resources, although Longteng Group has not asked a third party to conduct a valuation, it can be seen from the investment of hundreds of billions in power swap stations that its strength and background are unfathomable.

In terms of technological level, just one EUV lithography machine directly crushed them.

Therefore, no matter how low-key Zeng Yuqing is, it is impossible to bring only two or three people to receive him.

So including those who took Kang Chi to the exhibition hall and those who waited in the conference room in advance, there were more than a dozen leaders from various departments in the conference room.

All of them were sitting upright with notebooks in hand, as if they were going to listen carefully to Party A's needs...

Seeing this posture, Kang Chi quickly leaned into Zeng Yuqing's ear and whispered: "Actually, the reason why I came here this time is to talk to you about something privately... Our Mr. Zhang should have conveyed this intention in advance."

Zeng Yuqing couldn't help but be stunned.

Talk privately?

He remembered that the secretary just said to keep a low profile.

After Zeng Yuqing thought about it, he immediately said to his secretary: "Cancel the meeting, let's go to the VIP room to talk."

So Kang Chi followed Zeng Yuqing to a quite luxuriously decorated reception room.

Before going in, Lai Qinglei went in to check things out in advance. After confirming that there was no problem, he let Chen Hai take Kang Chi in.

Faced with Kang Chi's caution and the two bodyguards following him, Zeng Yuqing didn't say anything although he felt it was a bit exaggerated.

After all, it is both a photolithography machine and an oil-mining insect. Can the country protect it as well as a national treasure?
