Chapter 37 Layout of charging piles

"You want to buy a large construction company?"

In the conference room of Chensheng Technology headquarters, Lu Chen sat at the main seat, and on both sides were the executives of Chensheng Technology and Chensheng Games.

On Lu Chen's left is the senior management of Chensheng Technology Company headed by Qin Ruolan, and on the right is the senior management of Chensheng Game Company headed by Zhang Mingbo.

This is the first time in months that the top executives of the two companies have sat together for a meeting.

It's just that the business of Chensheng Technology is being discussed now, and Zhang Mingbo and others did not speak.

"Yes," Qin Ruolan nodded, "I want to build a large battery management system production base. According to our preliminary budget, the construction of all factories, production lines, staff dormitories, and office areas will cost about 120 billion yuan.

And Pengcheng's No. 46 construction company has a market value of only [-] billion. We can buy a construction company and contract it ourselves. This will save us a lot of money, control the progress of the project, and ensure the quality of the project. "

The more important reason Qin Ruolan didn't say is that when he gets involved in the manufacture of new energy vehicles in the future, there will be more production bases to be built.

Acquiring a construction company now is just planning in advance and planning for a rainy day.

Others don't know what Qin Ruolan thinks, but Lu Chen understands it very well.

Because about the company's future development plan, Qin Ruolan had already had a heart-to-heart chat with him, and he also agreed with the other party's development plan.

Of course, even though he agreed in his heart, Lu Chen would not express his opinion directly, but looked at the other senior executives of Chensheng Technology and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Mr. Lu, I think it is a good plan to acquire a construction company. Now we have approved the industrial land use. As long as we can acquire a suitable construction company, we can complete the construction of the factory building and the laying of the production line by the end of the year at the earliest."

"Ah."

Lu Chen nodded, "God of Wealth, how much money does our company still have on the books?"

As he spoke, he looked at a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

This is a financial executive he poached from a Fortune [-] company with a high salary. He is currently the general manager of the financial department of Chensheng Technology and is in charge of the entire finance of Chensheng Technology.

Gao Yuan obviously knows the financial situation of the entire company well. When he heard the news from Big BOOS, he immediately replied: "The company has borrowed interest-free loans from various new energy vehicle manufacturers and banks, totaling 500 billion yuan, and the acquisition of third-party battery management system factories totals 23 billion yuan. There are 79.6 companies, spending about 420.4 billion yuan, and the current book balance is about [-] billion yuan."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded: "420 billion, even if we buy a large construction company and build a new production base, it will cost up to 150 billion, leaving 270 billion. Have you thought about how to spend the 270 billion?"

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

After listening to Lu Chen's question, the people below started whispering.

"It seems that everyone hasn't thought about this issue," Lu Chen looked around, "I've thought about this issue before, laying out the charging pile industry."

Hearing this, there was an uproar below.

The general manager of the technical department was the first to stand up to object. Although the tone was very subtle, the meaning expressed was very clear. The company was not familiar with the charging pile business at all, and the charging pile business was a heavy asset among heavy assets.

If you want to deploy charging piles nationwide, it involves not only financial issues, but also sufficient relationships.

Because it also involves cooperation with the local government, otherwise you want to arrange charging piles in prime locations in the city?What are you thinking?

The reason for everyone's opposition is also very simple. Charging piles seem to be a thankless job at present.

At present, the most active deployment of charging piles is not private capital, but the State Grid.

Why are private capital unwilling to deploy charging piles? Because compared with traditional cars, there are too few users of new energy vehicles, and charging piles are heavy assets. If you want to pay back, you don’t know how to wait until the year of the monkey.

With this spare money, wouldn't it be nice to invest in other projects?

As for the deployment of charging piles by large new energy vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla, it is entirely for the purpose of selling cars for themselves, otherwise he will be out of his mind and spend a lot of money on the layout of charging pile business.

When there was a lot of opposition below, Qin Ruolan thoughtfully said: "Mr. Lu, can you explain in detail?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has misunderstood my words."

He paused, "Does anyone know how we charge new energy vehicles now?"

Lu Chen asked back.

Everyone doesn't know what he means, how can it be charged?Of course, plug in the charging port to charge!
Before everyone could answer, Lu Chen waved to the assistant secretary next to him who was taking minutes of the meeting.

The female secretary brought a laser pointer and turned on the projector.

A short video is playing on the projector.

It was raining heavily in the video, and a new energy vehicle user’s car ran out of battery. He parked his car next to the charging pile in the rain, got out of the car with an umbrella, and picked up the charging port to charge his car.

During the whole process, the male user's clothes were almost soaked.

In the conference room, everyone could feel the car user's embarrassment through the video, and they couldn't help frowning.

"Everyone sees this, what do you think?"

As the video ended, Lu Chen looked at the crowd and said.

"We should put a canopy over the charging piles."

"This is a downtown area, how can it be possible to arrange shelters? It is a place where every inch of land is expensive."

Another executive immediately countered.

"The charging pile can be placed indoors as much as possible, so as to avoid the influence of wind and sun to a great extent."

"But there are always charging points outside."

"."

Seeing the discussion below, Qin Ruolan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, don't be a fool."

"My solution is simple, wireless charging technology."

Lu Chen said, and asked the female secretary to open another video. As the video played, Lu Chen explained: "Wireless charging technology is not a black technology at all. It was invented as early as 1985. Currently, there are about The popularity of wireless charging for new energy vehicles is also constant.

But at present, there is no wireless charging solution that can truly be commercialized. "

Lu Chen continued: "For wireless charging to be successful, two prerequisites are required. First, the energy loss rate must be low enough, that is, the charging efficiency must be high and the charging speed must be fast; second, a unified solution cannot be used by you. One kind of wireless charging technology, he develops one, which makes the market chaotic, A car can use wireless charging at a charging pile, but it can’t be used at b charging pile, if this is the case, then the meaning of wireless charging technology is not great at all.”

After everyone listened, they nodded one after another, that is indeed the case.

"These two premises are actually a technical problem and a market problem respectively. Now, we have actually solved the market problem, and the only thing left is a technical solution."

When Qin Ruolan heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up.

Battery Management Technology!
