deep city.

"It's exactly the same as we thought. First, the island country companies rushed to release batteries, and then used the price of raw material lithium to hedge the negative impact of performance improvement on oil prices. What's the next step?"

Ye Zhou watched the news with great interest and asked.

"If there is no accident, it should start to raise oil prices, create public opinion, and start putting pressure on the Sudanese government to take over the oil fields."

As Chen Hao answered, he projected the summary results of the information on his pad to Ye Zhou. On it was the latest public opinion monitoring report.

Ye Zhou took a quick glance and found that the contents above were basically the same.

It’s nothing more than saying that the manufacturing cost of batteries is high, the pollution in the manufacturing process is large, and the combination is not as environmentally friendly as fossil energy.

However, this time their public opinion offensive did not seem to have achieved good results, and the masses are not stupid. After being brought to the rhythm again and again, most people have already begun to wake up.

Compared with whether the battery is environmentally friendly or not, there is only one issue they are more concerned about, that is, when will our own next-generation sulfur-lithium battery be launched, and how its performance compares with Panasonic's 46-X.

Regarding this question, the General Technical Office did not reply directly. Instead, the technical departments of several companies forwarded the bibs and replied with a unified "stay tuned".

This time, the appetite of netizens was completely lifted.

"What do you mean by waiting? Is there an exact time?"

"Let's announce the technical indicators first, at least let us have a bottom line."

"Hurry up, hurry up! I'm still in a hurry to choose a car, hurry up!"

"Upstairs, your choice of car has nothing to do with the battery. Even if the battery is solved, it will take some time before it can be adapted to the new version of the car. Otherwise, you can make do with it first. Several domestic new energy car companies The new ones are pretty good."

"The mileage is too short, I would rather not buy it if it is less than 1000 kilometers. Hey, wait a little longer..."

Ye Zhou clicked on the link to check the public feedback, and asked:
"So what preparations are still not ready? Can it be released as soon as possible? If it is delayed for too long, it will not be good for our subsequent applications."

Chen Hao clicked on a page on the PAD and replied:

"The preparations for the purely technical part have already been completed, and the actions we are doing now are all countermeasures against the ugly country."

"Our fundamental goal this time is to completely break the old order in the energy field, so we can't just issue it and it's over."

"At present, the preparations for the futures part are almost done. Now we are waiting for Ugly Country to continue to raise the oil price for a period of time before we make a large-scale short sale. It will probably be within a day or two."

"Sudan's first batch of trial-produced batteries has completed customs clearance, and the experimental bureau will start immediately. We will see the results of the experimental bureau tomorrow, and then start negotiations."

"The publicity work and program preparations have been basically completed, and we just wait for the battery to be put on the car."

Ye Zhou nodded, paused for a moment and said:
"Then the day after tomorrow, no matter what, this battery must be released as soon as possible!"

"Okay, then speed up appropriately."

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the General Technical Office issued a speed-up notice to all relevant personnel of the battery project, and all chess pieces located around the world became active.

Iran, TOCHAL Ski Resort in Tehran, a man with a Chinese face is holding a glass of red wine, talking and laughing happily with the opposite Arab.

"Muhammad, my brother, I also know that our request is a bit too urgent this time, but there is no way, who made us all face the same enemy? Believe me, as long as you can supply the goods on time, the low price this time The damage done will soon be made up for in other forms."

"Li! It's not a matter of low prices! According to the plan you mentioned, I doubt whether the price of oil will remain positive in a few days. After all, this situation has already happened once. Will we still have to pay you back by then? Money to sell you oil?"

"Even if you give us money, so what? What you can get in the future is far more than that... Habibi, we don't have much time, at most two days, I need you to make a decision to increase production. "

"... Well, to be honest, I can only trust you. In two days, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"It's better to be satisfied with the answer. That's good for us."

……

In the country, in the office of the general manager of WACKER Company, Lin Yang holds the latest production data in his hand. In the past week, he has increased the output of the mining area controlled by WACKER Company by nearly 30% through the advantage of absolute control.

However, judging from the current situation, such output does not seem to be enough.

Just now, he received a notice from his superiors asking him to continue to expand the company's production capacity and accumulate the most silicon ore raw materials in the shortest possible time to cope with the upcoming price shock.

The price shock of silicon raw material?

Lin Yang didn't understand what was going on, because although he could obtain some top-secret information with his authority, such information acquisition was still limited.

Fortunately, he himself doesn't care about the logic behind it at all, because he knows that he is just a pawn in the front, and on the huge chessboard in this world, the organization behind him has already laid down countless pawns.

These chess pieces can't and don't need to see the overall situation. They don't need to know whether they are robbing, slaying dragons, or just taking the lead. What they need to know is that as long as their own chess pieces land, they must root.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone on the desk next to him.

"Born, according to the original plan, continue to increase the production capacity of the mine. Yes, I need another 20% increase in production capacity."

"Don't tell me it's impossible, I know you have a way!"

"Wages are not an issue, we can accept excess wages."

"I know your overtime hours are approaching the standard line, but the workers have no objection to this, don't they?"

"Now that the economic environment is bad, who doesn't want to make more money?"

"Yes, I'll take care of the authorities. We're not exploiting anyone, it's just an emergency exception."

"Okay, just follow the plan! I only give you 6 hours to organize everyone!"

……

Africa, Sudan.

Li Mingchu was sitting in a reception room in the barracks, opposite to him was the supreme commander of SPLM, Hurley.

"Li, I have seen the results of the Experimental Bureau, which are very good, but this does not convince us to give you the right to operate the oilfield."

"Photovoltaic is very good, but my vote alone is not enough, you know, the power of this country is very complicated..."

Li Mingchu smiled, looked straight into the other's eyes without fear, and then said:
"Hurley, you don't need to talk about these so-called excuses in front of me. You and I both know that you are the biggest manipulator in this country. As long as you want, one ticket of yours can have the effect of 10 tickets. "

"Speak directly, what made you make such a gesture in front of me?"

Hearing Li Mingchu's words, Hurley looked a little displeased. He subconsciously played with the custom-made pistol thrown in front of him, and then continued to speak:

"Li, why do you always look domineering? You have been like this since the day I met you, and you haven't changed a bit until now."

"I have met many businessmen, and their attitudes are much better than yours. Even businessmen from ugly countries are very polite when they see me!"

"I'm not a polite person."

Li Mingchu reached out and snatched the pistol from Hurley's hand. The guards beside him tightened their grip on the weapon nervously, but when they saw that Hurley didn't respond, they also relaxed.

He unloaded the magazine of the pistol as if nothing had happened, poured out the bullets one by one, and then picked two and pushed them in front of Herrie.

"Politeness does not bring benefits. Our friendship can last for 10 years, not by politeness, but by benefits. This is very realistic, but it is also very reliable, isn't it?"

Hurley stared closely at Li Mingchu's eyes, and after a long time, he smiled freely.

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, but I still hope that you will respect me a little bit in the future-you know, I have always respected you and the people behind you."

As he spoke, he picked two more bullets from the pile and placed them in front of him.

"I already respect you a lot."

Li Mingchu took back one of the bullets in front of Heli, who shook his head, finally picked up the magazine, and put the three bullets back.

"I'm afraid you are the only Chinese person who makes me helpless... Let's go, dinner is about to start. Today, I specially prepared wine for you."

"I don't drink—I respect your no-alcohol rules."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Hurry laughed and hugged Li Mingchu's shoulders, and the two walked out the door side by side.

……

Shanghai, a commodity futures exchange.

The mysterious man has already started trading with the highest frequency. He keeps placing short orders on crude oil futures, regardless of the cost paid.

Due to the continuous rise in the price of international raw material lithium, international oil prices are also rising simultaneously. Every time he places an order, he will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars within a few minutes, but he still has no hesitation in his actions.

For his operating volume, it is impossible to accurately grasp the peak. Since he wants to make money, he must first learn to bear losses.

This is an extremely simple and straightforward logic.

He is proficient in using automated trading programs, but even so, his fingers are already a little sore from typing on the keyboard for a long time.

Fortunately, his deal has entered the final stage.

The ultra-large-scale funds have all been converted into empty orders, and the next thing to do is to quietly wait for that moment to come.

……

The time is 4:[-] p.m., less than a day before the release of the sulfur-silicon battery, and all the chess pieces deployed around the world have been activated, waiting quietly for that moment.

When that moment comes, it will be the time when all these chess pieces will put the first loess on the old energy order.
