I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Boss Jiang, will your battery factory continue to expand next year?"

"Well, it's already under expansion. The current output is too low, only 4GWh."

"Mr. Liu has been following up on this. If the new workshop can be implemented this year, the output can be doubled."

"As for the future expansion, Kirin Battery's overall plan is to build a factory worth tens of billions of yuan. As long as the development trend of new energy vehicles is good, the factory will continue to expand."

In response to Mr. Lei’s concern about production, Jiang Hao gave him a response to reassure him.

But he himself was a little anxious about the output.

The expansion is too slow and the production capacity is too low!

Although Kirin batteries are 10% better than CATL's in performance, their manufacturing process requirements are much higher.

CATL's expanded production capacity is growing rapidly. In contrast, even if Kirin Battery can reach 8GWh this year, it will not be able to meet the growing demand of the entire new energy vehicle market.

This really echoes the question that Jiang Hao was thinking about when he founded Kirin Battery.

Neither Kirin Battery nor CATL can necessarily meet the needs of domestic car companies.

"Boss Lei, don't worry. If you start a new energy company in the future, I can make the decision on batteries."

"Kirin Battery can reach an agreement with the car company founded by Mr. Lei, including Mr. He and Mr. Li, and give priority to production supply."

After all, Mr. He’s Xpeng Motors is Jiang Hao’s personal investment.

As for Mr. Li standing next to him, no matter what, it is a car company invested by Mr. Lei.

Jiang Hao estimated that the majority of future orders would come from these three companies.

It's okay to make a promise now.

"Is it really okay?"

Mr. Li on the opposite side looked pleasantly surprised, and was very surprised by this sudden treatment.

"No problem. Mr. Lei and Mr. He are here. I still have some credibility."

At this point, there was a noise outside the door again.

Liu Qingyun re-entered the meeting room and sat down next to Jiang Hao.

"Mr. Wang has already been sent away?"

"Yes, we have already left for the airport."

...

"How much spare capacity does my factory have this year?"

"Except for Mr. He's order, we can probably supply batteries for more than 20,000 cars."

When Mr. Li heard what Liu Qingyun said, he didn't say anything and immediately patted his chest and said.

"I'll take care of the batteries for these 20,000 vehicles!"

“As long as the batteries arrive before the end of the year, that’s fine.”

It seems that the sales of NIO’s new car are also very good!

After they had discussed and signed the order, General Manager Liu took the four of them to visit the workshop again.

Compared to the day when the factory officially started production, the interior of the workshop is still clean and new, but it is obvious that there are many more areas inside the workshop.

The area for storing production and maintenance tools, as well as the changing rooms, seem to have been expanded, but the overall production line has not changed much.

It can be seen that the factory has passed the running-in period and entered a new production stage.

It was not until after six o'clock in the evening that the group finished their tour. Jiang Hao originally wanted to invite them to have a meal and show his hospitality.

Unfortunately, the three of them had already booked their flights, so they all headed for the airport as soon as the tour was over.

……

A week later, Jiang Hao began to arrange the financing for Haijing’s D round.

Although Haijing itself has no shortage of funds, Jiang Hao still attaches great importance to it as the last round of financing before listing.

Having more funds is a good precaution, and it is also a way to invite a group of investors who can help Haijing go public.

The scale of Haijing Technology is not that of an ordinary enterprise. Its valuation in the last round was five times higher than the peak of Totoro's listing.

Jiang Hao’s minimum expectation for this round of financing, Series D, is a valuation of 800 billion Euros.

Compared with the C round, the valuation has not increased much, after all, it is already at an absolute high point.

In fact, Haijing’s development has reached its peak in the country.

If the valuation is to be further increased, it can only be done when Whale's profitability is further improved and the Whale platform's market share in international software is further increased.

In the Internet market, the values ​​of all applications ranked first, second, and third are completely different.

Unfortunately, Haijing’s overseas platform Whale is still caught up in the sanctions storm.

At least in the D round of financing, it cannot provide much help to Haijing's financing.

"Brother, you came so early today?"

In the underground parking lot, Jiang Hao had just gotten out of the car when he heard Gao Wei's voice.

The parking spaces of the executives of Haijing Technology are all in the same area, so Jiang Hao often runs into Gao Wei.

But today, when Jiang Hao saw Gao Wei's new car, he was also surprised.

"Are you going to change this car?"

Next to his Alpha parking space was a white SUV, and the green license plate clearly indicated that it was a new energy vehicle.

The familiar logo and appearance.

Jiang Hao really didn’t dare to believe that Gao Wei would buy Xiaopeng Motors. You know, he and Lao Qin took turns driving Ferraris some time ago!

"It's a means of transportation!"

"I saw that Xiaopeng is quite popular online now. Since it's not expensive, I bought one to try."

Although it is true that he invested in a new energy brand, Jiang Hao did not ask anyone in the company to buy Xiaopeng.

Especially Gao Wei in front of him, who was a company executive after all, and was the first one to follow him from Songshan University of Technology.

Jiang Hao felt that he would be misunderstood by others when he suddenly started driving this car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he felt that he was mistreating Gao Wei.

But then I thought, after all, it’s a brand car that I invested in, so how can I look down on myself?

"How is it? Is it driving okay?"

"I think it's good, very quiet, and has many functions, but I'm still not used to many of them."

Gao Wei's face was quite calm, and he evaluated Xiaopeng seriously.

From Tesla to Ferrari, and then to Xiaopeng.

The gap is big enough, it's normal that he is not used to it.

"Boss Jiang, can I make a suggestion to the company?"

"If you have to fart, just fart. Why are you still doing this to me?"

Seeing Gao Wei's serious look, Jiang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"Haha! It's about the charging piles. I was wondering if the company downstairs could install some charging piles? Could they provide some benefits to us new energy vehicle owners?"

The country now supports the development of new energy vehicles, and Jiang Hao himself also invests in these industries.

Since I don’t actually drive, I have ignored the company’s needs for employees to drive new energy vehicles.

Now that Gao Wei made this request, he naturally agreed immediately.

"OK, no problem."

"But you should develop some application sequencing for the charging piles yourself, and you still have to charge for it."

After all, the Fortune Center Building is located in the core area of ​​Songjiang City, and parking spaces nearby are very valuable.

Since it is Jiang Hao’s own property, parking in the building is restricted on weekdays except for company employees and visitors.

But on Saturdays and Sundays, the parking is open to outside vehicles, making it convenient for shopping in nearby shopping malls.

Not only did people from nearby streets come to negotiate, but company employees also hang out nearby on weekends and have a need for parking.

Therefore, parking in the parking lot below the Fortune Center Building is restricted by time periods.

Jiang Hao is happy to install charging piles for free charging for company employees, but it certainly cannot be free for outsiders.

I was too lazy to ask A Xiang and his development department for this kind of small program, so I just let Gao Wei make one himself.
