Suzaku's success in the national racing mecca has made several Kyushu cars popular and attracted a lot of attention.
But it is still very difficult to sell in large quantities.
Even charging or battery swapping technology may not be decided by Kyushu Auto alone.
After breakfast, Xu Yifan slowly walked toward his office in the company's office building as usual.
First, I went to my office to listen to the company’s work report yesterday.
Now every three days in the morning, he will be in the office to listen to the presidents of several companies reporting on their recent work status.
If there is nothing going on in the company, they may stay in the office and rest, or continue to work in the materials laboratory for research and development.
It is worth mentioning that after more than half a year, Xu Yifan is now not inferior to those five-star bosses in terms of research and development.
It's a little worse than Zhu Yongchun, who is six-star and also has photographic memory.
Now that Xu Yifan and Zhu Yongchun are working together, the research and development progress of sodium-ion batteries has been accelerated much faster.
The first-generation sodium-ion battery is not far away. Unfortunately, the performance of the first-generation sodium-ion battery is still inferior to the lithium iron phosphate battery that has been developed for a longer time, mainly in terms of energy density. and battery cycle performance.
As for safety and low-temperature performance, it will only be stronger than the previous lithium iron phosphate battery.
In today's battery laboratory, the highly educated and knowledgeable R&D personnel have admired Xu Yifan.
They all watched Xu Yifan step by step, how to learn from the ignorance when he was just learning, and asked them to teach him some experimental knowledge.
Now he is in the laboratory and has become the R&D boss second only to Zhu Yongchun.
There is no comparison between people!
A genius can not only take over a car factory but also bring this collapsed factory back to life.
Even if you are no longer busy at work and engage in some hobbies of your own, you can still be better than most ordinary people, learn a lot of knowledge quickly, and become a real boss in the laboratory.
At the same time, whether it is in the materials laboratory or the automobile R&D center, today's R&D personnel all admire Mr. Xu very much.
Xu Yifan is more like the controller responsible for research and development. Although he is not involved in the actual management work, he determines all large and small technology research and development routes.
By mastering the development of technology and continuously developing new technologies and accumulating knowledge through systematic efforts, Jiuzhou Automobile Factory will have almost no problems in the future as long as it does not encounter major setbacks.
This is the foundation of a technology company.
When Xu Yifan walked slowly to his office, the time happened to be nine o'clock in the morning.
The three company presidents were already waiting at the door of the chairman's office.
Seeing Xu Yifan approaching, several people quickly greeted him and said, "Mr. Xu."
Nodding slightly, Xu Yifan smiled and replied: "Good morning everyone, let's go in and talk."
The door of the office room opened, and several people sat on the sofa for guests.
"Well, follow the same process as before, starting with Feng Hao. Are there any changes at Hengxin Battery Factory recently?"
The daily work report starts with the Hengxin Battery Factory, then the production and sales of Jiuyuan electric vehicles, and finally the production and sales status of Jiuzhou Automobile.
Generally speaking, Hengxin Battery Factory's daily work is very stable. It provides batteries to its brother factories and does not work directly with consumers.
Therefore, work reporting is also the simplest. One or two sentences can often be used to report recent company events.
Facing Xu Yifan's questions, Feng Hao reported on the working conditions of the factory in recent days.
“Everything at the Hengxin Battery Factory has been running smoothly in the past two days. The newly established third-generation lithium iron phosphate battery factory that has been established for two months is expected to be initially put into use in two days.
In this case, whether it is supplying Kyushu Dongting, Kyushu Taishan, Kyushu Suzaku, the production capacity of UHV batteries can be greatly improved.
It is expected to be able to supply ultra-high voltage batteries for one million Jiuzhou electric vehicles a year. "
After listening carefully, Xu Yifan nodded and said: "In terms of battery production capacity, you have to carefully control it, and the expansion of production will continue.
In the next two years at most, or at least half a year, there will be a large demand for UHV batteries.
Hengxin Battery Factory needs to prepare in advance in this regard to avoid not being able to produce enough production capacity when UHV batteries are needed.
Batteries are the top priority for our Jiuzhou Automobile development. We cannot delay the development of automobile manufacturing because of batteries.
Regarding Xu Yifan's words, Feng Hao nodded seriously to express his understanding, and then, rarely, he continued.
"Then, Mr. Xu has one more thing that I need to report to you."
"Oh?" Xu Yifan showed a rare interest.
Feng Hao said: “Recently, due to the slowdown in battery production capacity of low-speed electric vehicles in Kyushu, a large part of our battery production capacity has been released.
Someone from the Apple mobile phone company contacted me the day before yesterday, hoping to purchase our company's batteries as mobile phone batteries. This matter needs to be reported to Mr. Xu. "
Xu Yifan raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and then replied: "Apple phones hope to use our batteries.
My view in this regard is that now that production capacity has been slightly released, what the other party needs is not ultra-high voltage batteries for electric vehicles.
You can consider becoming a battery supplier for Apple mobile phones to create more revenue for the company. "
A bit of news that surprised Xu Yifan. The little butterfly of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory once again changed the trajectory of history, making this well-known company also pay attention to Hengxin Battery Factory.
In terms of current battery technology, Kyushu Automobile is almost unparalleled, surpassing other battery suppliers in the world.
Most importantly, Hengxin Battery Factory's batteries have stable performance, greater energy density, high number of cycles, superior high and low temperature performance, and high safety performance. These advantages are very attractive to Apple mobile phones that pursue high-end products.
According to tests conducted by Apple's R&D personnel, using batteries produced by Hengxin Battery Factory, the phone will not have battery bulges, and will not experience significant battery performance degradation after three to five years of use, let alone fire or explosion.
It is a pity that the mobile phone battery business may have a large number, and there will be an explosion in the next few years.
But the size of a single battery is small, and the price is not very high. It costs only thirty or fifty yuan.
It's better than nothing, it can be considered as a small profit share from the smartphone business.
Feng Hao agreed: "Yes, I will investigate the battery price and discuss cooperation with the other party. Based on the performance of our batteries, the price will be slightly more expensive than BYD, Samsung, LG and other companies."
After pausing for a moment and thinking about the problem of the mobile phone battery, Xu Yifan said to Feng Hao again.
"By the way, when you discuss it with the other party, you can also ask if Apple is interested in fast charging technology.
It takes five minutes to charge, two hours of talk time, and even half an hour to go from zero to 100% battery.
If you buy our batteries, we can design a fast charging solution for them. "
Technology is the most profitable!
If it is just an ordinary battery, the profit will be the same as that of an ordinary battery, but with fast charging technology.
As for the price, sorry, you have to pay extra!
Although the fast charging technology of Jiuzhou electric vehicles is slightly different from the fast charging technology applied to mobile phones.
Today, Kyushu Automobile does not have ready-made mobile phone battery fast charging technology, but as long as Xu Yifan and Zhu Yongchun cooperate, they can temporarily put aside their research and development work.
With the similar technology accumulation that Kyushu Automobile has now, the research and development task of fast charging of mobile phone batteries is not yet within reach!
It is estimated to take less than a week and there will be no bottlenecks.
If you can make hundreds of millions or more, it is still very cost-effective.
And it’s not just Apple phones. Later domestic mobile phone manufacturers, rather than developing their own fast charging technology for mobile phones, it is better to directly use Hengxin battery fast charging solutions!
Maybe even with the emergence of Hengxin Battery Factory, there won’t be multiple mobile phone fast charging protocols in the future? !
After listening to Xu Yifan's words, Feng Hao was thoughtful.
“Quick charging technology for mobile phone batteries?!”
"If it can be like our Jiuzhou electric car, I believe that company will be very interested. If it has fast charging technology, it will be normal even if the battery price increases two or three times!"
Xu Yifan shook his head and corrected the problem in the other party's words.
"Two or three times, we might as well be a little more bold. I believe that five times the price won't be too much. It only costs more than 100 yuan for a battery."
"Believe me, the need for fast charging technology for mobile phones in the future will not be much lower than that of electric vehicles."
"Also, in addition to batteries, we can also make chargers for mobile phones. Naturally, the price cannot be the same as ordinary chargers. You should keep an eye on this aspect when the time comes."
As a time traveler, Xu Yifan knows very well that later on, almost all mobile phones were available, and even when many people bought mobile phones, fast charging technology was also
Battery life anxiety is not just an issue with electric vehicles, it’s even worse with mobile phones!
On the other hand, apart from Hengxin Battery Factory, other mobile phone battery suppliers cannot find another manufacturer with good battery quality and fast charging technology like Hengxin Battery Factory.
If the price is a little more expensive, there is a reason for it to be a little more expensive!
For a battery that supplies a price of 150 yuan, Kyushu Auto can earn 130 yuan, which is not excessive.
I don’t know if Samsung will continue to use their own batteries after Hengxin Battery Factory’s fast charging technology, which will lead to a series of subsequent events.
If we can rely on mobile phone fast charging technology to get the status of a global battery charger supplier for Apple mobile phones, it will be very profitable.
Money, isn’t it here?
However, for users who may buy Apple mobile phones, the actual price of the mobile phones will be a little more expensive.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ve spent thousands of dollars, no less than two or three hundred dollars!
