Chapter 38 Clouds move in all directions
The atmosphere in the Xinghai conference room was not so harmonious.
"Boss Yun, if the production capacity problem is really not a good one, we can dismantle the wireless charging pile production line and transform it into a battery assembly production line. Xinghai can continue to make additional investments for this purpose!"
"Mr. Liu, it's not that I have old-fashioned ideas, but the demolition and reconstruction of this new type of factory cannot be completed overnight. Instead of struggling with this factory, it is better to build a new one. Xingyun has this kind of experience, and with Xinghai's technical support, I believe that a factory of the same size can be completed in three to four months."
"Four months! Do you know how much money we will lose in four months? Mr. Yun, you may not know this, but the market has already driven up the price of our solid-state batteries to 8000 kilowatt-hours!"
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry I can't agree to this."
"Second brother, tell me."
Liu Jun's eyes were bloodshot, but despite his extreme excitement, the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed.
Fan Ren coughed softly and said, "Old Three, go back and have a rest after work. Don't argue with me. When it comes to solid-state batteries, we in Xinghai are the ones who control the rules. What are you worried about?"
As he spoke, Fan Ren's tone became a little stern.
Hearing this, Liu Jun nodded in sudden realization.
He really needed to get a good night's sleep. Three days had passed since the press conference, and during this period he had been busy negotiating orders with various car companies.
However, due to the limited production capacity, he could see a lot of orders but couldn't get them. He was almost dying of anxiety because of this.
"There's no rush for the production capacity issue, just take your time. Mr. Yun, give me a plan for the construction of a new factory in the next two days, and the investment should go to Xinghai."
"No problem, Mr. Fan."
Fan Ren set the tone, and no one continued to refute him.
"How are the patent licensing discussions going?"
Hearing Fan Ren's change of topic, Liu Jun stopped worrying and said after thinking for a while, "The acceptance levels of the major companies for our offer are different."
The price quoted by Xinghai for authorized production is 30% of the patent usage fee, that is, for every battery with 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity produced, a patent usage fee of 300 yuan needs to be paid to Xinghai.
For such a technological patent with significant innovative significance, this price is actually not too high.
"Manatee and Ogilvy, two companies that have long cooperated with us, as well as several companies with a lower market share, have reached preliminary authorization intentions."
Fan Ren nodded and asked, "Where's Sanxin? And Deso, forget it, let Deso go with them."
Fan Ren did not expect that Sanxin did not sign a cooperation agreement with Xinghai at the first time. In his opinion, Jin Qiaoying, as the person in charge of the China region, has always maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with Xinghai.
Moreover, he had previously used his personal connections to leak some information to the other party, although it was later learned that Jin Qiaoying did not believe him and sold the lithium batteries as soon as possible.
But there is no need to hesitate over the price of patent licensing. Although 30% is not a low price, it is not that high either.
Haven’t you noticed that the price of electricity has reached 8000 yuan per kilowatt-hour in the market, and the price is still rising continuously?
Now, as long as you sign the authorization, you can make huge profits after production.
While they were having the meeting, at the Linhai Airport, a private jet with a streamlined body was slowly and elegantly landing.
On the other side, the tall Jin Qiaoying, wearing a black dress, was staring at the private plane in front of her with an expressionless face.
The plane slowly came to a stop, the cabin door opened, and a tall man with sharp brows was the first to come out.
Jin Qiaoying did not go forward to greet him. The reason she came to the airport today was purely because of family etiquette. She nodded to the man from a distance and got into the car parked nearby.
"Haha, Sister Qiaoying is still indifferent."
When the young man saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly to reveal an intriguing smile.
"Mr. Jin, welcome to our company. On behalf of the staff of our Linhai branch, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you."
As the head of the Huaguo region and a direct descendant of the Jin family, Jin Qiaoying could not disrespect this direct descendant of the Jin family. But the senior executives under them could not do that. Although the treatment of Sanxin Group was very good, it attached great importance to the rules.
Jin Ze smiled, walked up to the executive of the Linhai branch in front of him, shook hands with him and thanked him. Then he politely declined the other party's invitation and got into the back seat of Jin Qiaoying's car.
The convoy then started slowly and drove towards the booked hotel.
Jin Qiaoying did not make any statement towards Jin Ze who got into her car on his own initiative. She leaned on the back seat with her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and her delicate makeup revealed an aloof look.
"Sister Qiaoying, I'm here this time to first apologize on behalf of the headquarters for your proposal three days ago.
We are sorry that headquarters did not take your advice and sell off the battery inventory.
But I am more curious, since you already knew all this in advance, why didn't you report it to the headquarters? As a result, the loss that the company will suffer this time is incalculable. "
Jin Qiaoying opened her eyes and looked at Jin Ze with a hint of sarcasm.
"I was able to know this three days in advance because President Xinghai Fan had always had a good relationship with Sanxin and made the decision. Who do you think I am?"
Jin Ze showed a trace of helplessness. His sister had never given him a good face since he was a child. Now it seems that this time here, there will definitely be no pleasant experience.
He did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Sister Qiaoying, how much do you think it would cost to get Xinghai to completely transfer this technology patent to us at Sanxin?"
"Tsk, are you stupid or are those old guys in the company stupid? How much money have you prepared? Ten billion? Or one hundred billion? Dream on. Those people in Xinghai have never had any intention of selling patents since the beginning of high-voltage wireless charging."
Jin Qiaoying mocked him openly, but she didn't see the anger on Jin Ze's face that she expected.
"And what about you?"
Jin Ze looked at his sister, who had never been involved in any negative news, with a hint of amusement.
"The eldest daughter of the Jin family of Sanxin has been in charge of the Sanxin China Region for seven years. During her tenure, the region's revenue ranked first in the entire group, and it was also..."
"enough!"
Jin Qiaoying's pretty face was frosty, and she stopped him from saying the next words out of shame and anger.
"What about these? As far as I know, Sister Qiaoying and Mr. Xinghai Fan have a very close personal relationship. They even have the ability to enter and leave each other's office freely."
"You investigate me!"
Jinze remained silent, without any embarrassment.
"Hey, Sister Qiaoying, you also know that our Sanxin's investment in the battery industry over the years has accounted for more than 30% of the group's funds. Can you bear to see all these years of hard work go to waste?"
The car was driving slowly on the noisy road, but the atmosphere inside the car was silent.
While all the related companies were working hard for the newly emerged solid-state batteries, the intensive care unit of Linhai Central Hospital was crowded with a group of uniformed personnel.
"Mr. Ma, since you and your son Ma Wei are suspected of illegally embezzling 10 billion Deli Electric Power funds, as well as multiple crimes such as money laundering and bribery, we are now formally taking compulsory measures against you. We have also issued a global arrest warrant for Ma Wei, who has already fled the country."
Ma Gaosheng had been lying in bed for three days and his complexion had obviously improved a lot. When he heard these words, he unexpectedly smiled and did not refute.
He did not answer, but walked around the crowd and looked at Ye Hongzhi, who was at the outermost edge and whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ma Gaosheng smiled and nodded at him, then stretched out his hands without any intention of resisting.
"Old Ma, it's your turn!"
Ye Hongzhi left a cold remark and walked away.
