Spend money to play around the world

Nowadays, Yinhe Company is in the stage of rapid development, and burning money is a must.

After two years of stabilization, it will not be too late to pay dividends. This kind of big investment that affects the world requires enough patience.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll hang up here." Chen Fang said.

"That..." Lin Shuang hesitated, and said, "Aren't you surprised at all?"

"Surprised at what?"

"Our company's overall operating income last year reached 939 billion, just a few billion to hundreds of billions, ranking fifth in the province!"

"What's so surprising about this, isn't it expected?"

572. Meeting of the Traditional Battery Alliance

"Oh." Lin Shuang was choked, and then said: "Then when will you return to Rongcheng, I haven't seen you for a while."

"I'll definitely be back before Chinese New Year. Why, miss me?" Chen Fang teased.

"No." Lin Shuang blushed, quickly denied, and then thought of something, and couldn't help but said leisurely: "A certain person kept saying that he wanted to pick me up, but he didn't do anything, alas, he didn't." I know why you went there."

Chen Fang couldn't help but laugh: "You don't have to be so weird here. When I wanted to pick you up, where did you go? Now, honestly work for me, and wait for the day when the uncle is happy, and then come to clean you up."

Lin Shuang resentfully said: "Understood."

……

When Lin Shuang was on the phone with Chen Fang, the heads of the major manufacturers of traditional lithium-ion batteries quietly gathered together and started a meeting.

In the past, they were not pleasing to anyone, and wished that the other party would die, close down immediately, and go bankrupt directly. After all, they were in the same industry.

But, goodbye now, the heads and bosses of the major traditional battery companies no longer look at each other with hostility, but with a sense of sympathy.

"Mr. Yang, I was not good before, so please bear with me."

"Mr. Wang, because I listened to the slander of the villain last year, I said some exaggerated things to you. Here I want to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."

"Mr. Wei, we haven't seen each other for four or five years. We must get close this time."

"..."

All the bosses and persons in charge, with smiles on their faces, exchanged pleasantries and courtesies, just like the scene when brothers who have been separated for many years get together.

As one of them, Wei Zhendong was sitting on the chair in the conference room, watching all this with a blank expression on his face.

Wei Zhendong's company is called Tianshun Power, which mainly deals in lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and some renewable resource products, among which lithium-ion batteries are the main business.

Originally, the company had already been listed, and its market value had risen steadily.

As a result, due to the emergence of lithium-ion batteries, the stock price of the entire lithium-ion battery industry plummeted all the way. Wei Zhendong's Tianshun Company also failed to escape, and they all suffered.

This made some colleagues who wanted to strangle each other to death actually sit together and talk amicably.

This kind of behavior of holding a group for warmth is not impossible, but Wei Zhendong feels that the incident this time is relatively large and has subverted the entire battery industry. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by holding a group for warmth.

However, as a member of the traditional lithium-ion battery industry, Wei Zhendong's company is not small, ranking among the top five in the country, which is a prestigious task in this industry.

Nowadays, Ningde era, the big brother in the industry, convenes people to hold parties, and when everyone else comes, he can't make a special one.

Now these people chatted with each other for a while, Zeng Boyang, chairman of Ningde Times, entered the conference room, and then started today's industry dialogue.

Zeng Boyang said: "I am very glad that all colleagues came here to participate in the meeting after receiving my invitation. I think everyone should know the theme of today's meeting even if I don't say it.

Let me first talk about the changes in our Ningde era.

Since Yinhe Battery released the lithium-air battery in September last year and assembled it on the Changan Yuedong EV, the stock price of our company has been falling all the way.

After someone shouted that lithium-ion batteries were dead, more than [-]% of investment institutions and investors chose not to hold our stocks because they were worried about our future.

Therefore, as of now, CATL stock has fallen by more than 80%, and its market value has evaporated by more than 6000 billion RMB.

This is a data that everyone can find as long as they know how to surf the Internet. Alas, it is really worrying. "

Just three or four months ago, Ningde Times was still a leading company in the power battery industry in China and even in the world. , Become the trend of the giant in the battery industry.

However, the good times don't last long, and extreme joy begets sorrow.

Since Yinhe Battery Company launched lithium-air batteries in September last year, the advantages of lithium-ion batteries disappeared. Countless investors began to panic and collectively sold their stocks, causing Yinhe’s share price to be cut in half and fell all over the place.

That is to say, few people thought about shorting Ningde era at the beginning, otherwise, they might be able to make a fortune.

Zeng Boyang's words resonated with dozens of leaders and bosses of battery companies on the scene.

"Don't mention it, my company is also like this, it's almost fucking delisted."

"Who says it's not? Since the advent of lithium-air batteries, my company's stock price has been falling like a laxative, and it can't stop. If it continues like this, it may really be delisted. "

"I had someone sort out the data before, and found that from September last year to now, in just three or four months, the market value of the global lithium-ion battery industry has evaporated by more than 1.2 trillion. Not only we have fallen, but the rest of the world has also fallen. .”

"Grandpa, the lithium-air battery is a hot thing, it shouldn't appear in this era!"

"Yes, the emergence of lithium-air batteries has completely disrupted the entire market, it is a cancer!"

Capitalists are like this, once their own interests are damaged, they don’t care about 21, no matter whether this technology is beneficial to the progress of the world, no matter what kind of well-being this technology will bring to the public, in their hearts, they will firmly hate and Resist such technology.

However, if such a technology was developed by them, their attitude would be completely reversed.

Of course, in fact, not only capitalists, but also ordinary people, this belongs to the selfish side of human nature.

Zeng Boyang continued: "In fact, the decline in market value is only secondary, because it is not our money, but investors' money.

The decline in market capitalization just means that investors have lost confidence in us, and it does not mean that we have completely fallen.

However, the emergence of lithium-air batteries not only made investors lose confidence in us, but also made our customers lose confidence in us.

This is the most critical. "

Zeng Boyang said in a deep voice: "Because customers are no longer optimistic about the prospect of lithium-ion batteries, the number of orders they placed with us has dropped significantly.

Even some customers would rather cancel the previous orders even if they lose money, and turn to the embrace of lithium-air batteries.

And say something that everyone knows, but doesn't want to admit.

Although everyone is very unhappy with the technology of lithium-air batteries, cursing in their hearts that this technology will disappear completely, hoping that it will never appear, but the technical height of lithium-air batteries is indeed far superior to that of lithium-ion batteries.

In front of lithium-air batteries, lithium-ion batteries are really not even worthy of carrying shoes. "
