My science and technology museum

Regarding the layout of charging centers and battery replacement stations, Xu Lei has long decided on the plan.

Although it may cost hundreds of billions of dollars from completion to installation and putting the facilities into use, the future value will be immeasurable.

Xu Lei thinks it is very worthwhile.

Although the company spent a lot of money on building the Longhu High-tech Park, building a large-scale intelligent data center, and a new solid-state battery production base.

But Xu Lei himself owns half of the shares of Loongson Group.

In addition, he will also get a part of the profits gained from the technology conquered by the Chinese Academy of Sciences using Xingpu.

So there is absolutely no problem in terms of funding.

besides.

This plan has been approved by Xu Lei from above. In addition to receiving strong support, the power grid will also fully cooperate.

After all, this would both reduce carbon emissions and reduce dependence on overseas oil.

So in the face of Liu Gaowen's question, Xu Lei then repeated again: "The charging center and battery replacement station are related to the company's future industry layout. No matter how many difficulties there are, they must be overcome and completed. Just do as I say. Let other people take charge at the battery base first."

Liu Gaowen knew Xu Lei's character well.

Being able to talk to this extent shows that the planning of charging centers is indeed very important to future technology.

Understanding the problems involved, Liu Gaowen naturally had nothing to hesitate about.

"I know Mr. Xu, I will do a good job in this matter." He finally nodded in response before turning around and leaving.

It wasn't until Liu Gaowen's figure completely disappeared from sight that Xu Lei returned his attention to the scenery of Longhu Lake in the distance, enjoying the tea in his cup.

It can be said that the construction of the battery production base and charging center started one after another, and the time interval in between was not very long.

With the strong support from the power grid, I believe that charging centers and battery replacement stations in various places will not encounter resistance during the construction process, which will affect the progress of the construction.

Maybe when the battery base is put into use, new energy vehicle brand companies obtain solid-state power batteries and launch new solid-state battery vehicles on the market, charging centers and battery replacement stations should also start to serve users.

I really don’t know what kind of huge surprise it will be for major brands, companies and car owners.

in addition.

For quality issues at charging centers and battery replacement stations, the company headquarters will directly send people to inspect and accept them, so it is absolutely impossible to cut corners.

And just when Xu Lei was thinking about this alone, he saw Chen Shihe suddenly walking over.

"Mr. Xu..."

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xu Lei.

"Sit down first."

As if he didn't expect Xu Lei to say this suddenly, Chen Shihe was stunned for a moment before obediently sitting on the chair opposite.

Slowly raising his gaze and carefully looking at Xu Lei's profile, he felt that his thoughts were confused.

Finally, I suppressed these random thoughts and brought up the business again.

"Mr. Xu, there is something I need to report to you."

"Today Ningwang New Energy announced the official launch of sodium-ion batteries and has cooperated with Pingguo Mobile."

"Will this affect the sales of Xingyuan batteries?"

After all, Chen Shihe has been Xu Lei's assistant for such a long time and has a very clear understanding of many things in the industry.

Ningwang New Energy, as a leading company in the battery industry, has a market value approaching one trillion.

Xingyuan Battery suddenly appeared and broke the absolute status of traditional lithium batteries with its mature metal all-solid-state battery technology and rewritten the entire industry. The other party will definitely not sit still and wait for death.

Nowadays, sodium-ion batteries are launched, obviously to compete with Xingyuan batteries.

In addition, they have reached cooperation with Pingguo, which is bound to bring greater influence in the industry.

If the popularity of sodium-ion batteries really overtakes solid-state batteries in the end, I am afraid that all the layout effects of Xingyuan Batteries will be greatly compromised.

Faced with this situation, it is normal for Chen Shihe to be worried.

However, after Xu Lei learned about this incident, he still maintained a calm expression and seemed not to be affected at all.

After a pause for a few seconds, he said, "Why is Pingguo so stubborn? I just found a new partner."

After the production capacity investment promotion meeting that day, Xu Lei thought that Pingguo's CEO Kulas would come to him privately to renegotiate cooperation. After all, when other mobile phone brands used solid-state batteries, Pingguo would lose if he still used lithium batteries. A lot of competition.

But unfortunately, he did not wait until Kulas changed his mind in the end.

In this regard, Xu Lei thought that the other party was confident enough to ensure sales without replacing the battery.

Only now do I realize that Kuras found a substitute for solid-state batteries.

When Chen Shihe saw that Xu Lei still showed no sign of nervousness, he hesitated for a moment and chose to ask.

At least this will put your mind at ease.

"Mr. Xu."

"About sodium-ion batteries, shouldn't we have some solutions?"

"Is this really no problem?"

Hearing Chen Shihe's question, Xu Lei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and finally gave a four-word answer.

"Don't worry about him."

Chen Shihe naturally understood that Xu Lei's ability to say this showed that he did not take Ningwang New Energy's sodium-ion batteries seriously, which meant that they were not comparable to metal solid-state batteries at all.

However, she didn't know much about the professional knowledge involved, and her face still showed confusion.

Although Xu Lei thought Chen Shihe looked quite cute, he still gave him a detailed answer.

"The characteristics of sodium-ion batteries dictate that they cannot be used as power batteries in new energy vehicles. From this point on, Ningwang New Energy chooses to use it to compete with us, so it cannot be a rival to Xingyuan Batteries."

"In addition, sodium element is extremely unstable, and its ionic radius is larger than that of lithium element, which can easily cause fission of the cathode material during the charge and discharge process."

"This can cause battery performance to degrade very quickly."

"Battery life is limited."

Ningwang New Energy has indeed been researching and developing sodium-ion batteries for a long time, but there has been no new news.

Basically still in the laboratory stage.

After all, if the short battery life cannot be solved well and the high performance of the battery cannot be maintained for a long time, it will be useless even if the cost is cheaper than lithium batteries.

Previously, Ningwang New Energy had been slow to launch sodium-ion batteries, but now it has launched Xingyuan solid-state batteries as soon as they came out.

Obviously in order to reverse the situation and compete with the popularity of Xingyuan solid-state batteries, this immature battery technology was used.

You must know that immature technologies are often used rashly, and the consequences are unpredictable.

It is likely to have serious repercussions.

By that time, the loss of funds will probably be minimal.

In this situation, Xu Lei could not help but begin to mourn for Kuras in his heart. I am afraid that the new ally he chose is not as strong as it seems.

It can only be said that it is not necessary to seek medical treatment in case of emergency!

Similarly, Chen Shihe was finally completely relieved at this time. After thinking of what Xu Lei said, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Mr. Xu, according to your analysis, is it the new sodium-ion battery released by Pingguo this time?" Could something go wrong?"

"I can't guarantee this, maybe... who knows..."

Seeing that Chen Shihe was so interested in this matter, Xu Lei didn't know what to say. After all, these were all his guesses. No one could say for sure whether the sodium-ion battery used by Pingguo would roll over.

So after leaving such an ambiguous answer, Xu Lei hurriedly got up and returned to his office.

Chen Shihe, who was sitting alone on the chair, was thinking about these words. In the end, he didn't know what he thought of, and murmured thoughtfully: "Since Mr. Xu said this, he must be absolutely sure. It seems that this time Warwick is really going to win the high-end mobile phone market.”

…

…

In the following time, with Xu Lei's overall planning and huge financial support, the battery base project and charging centers and battery replacement stations across the country began to be built.

This still delayed a little time in selecting locations in various places, otherwise it would have started a few days earlier.

Because there was not even a prototype of the building at the beginning of the construction, the local residents did not know what was being built and only regarded it as an ordinary engineering project.

After all, for many cities, it is not surprising to see covered construction sites everywhere.

And just as future technology is in full swing with the layout of charging centers and battery replacement stations, Pingguo's sodium-ion battery mobile phone and Warwick's solid-state battery flagship phone have finally been launched and officially opened for sale.

Due to Ningwang New Energy's crazy marketing promotion of its own sodium-ion batteries and Pingguo's first significant price reduction, many users said it was really good.

It was snapped up as soon as it went online.

As a result, the sales volume on the first day far exceeded that of Huawei's flagship phone.

Originally, due to the Xingyuan metal solid-state battery matter, Pingguo's situation became very embarrassing for a time, and he was even suppressed on the issue of production capacity allocation.

CEO Kulas almost lost his temper.

But now Pingguo mobile phone has once again stabilized its position in the industry with its sodium-ion battery, and its sales have significantly exceeded that of Warwick's flagship phone.

Kuras's mood improved a lot again.

——

"Boss, this is the sales data report submitted by the head of the Asian region market. It is already on the way to breaking records."

"As for Warwick's flagship phone, which was launched at the same time as ours, it was a complete upset."

Licanife Island.

Pingguo Spaceship Headquarters Building.

In the office, Kulas took the sales report from Mel and read it carefully, with a happy look on his face the whole time.

It was completely different from the state he was in when he went to Binjiang City before.

After about a few minutes passed, he slowly raised his gaze and immediately said, "It seems that our choice to cooperate with Ningwang New Energy this time is very correct. Since we have achieved such great success in the Asian market, Then we need to let this phone enter other markets around the world as soon as possible."

"It's the boss."

This was the first time that Mel had seen his boss so excited in a while, so he naturally responded to this order without any hesitation and immediately answered.
