"Finally, it's done!" Stretching, Xu Yifan glanced at the system panel. There was an extra mobile phone fast charging technology on the technology panel.
He nodded with satisfaction.
The fast charging technology of mobile phone batteries is simpler than Xu Yifan expected.
Facing a luxurious R&D team with one six-star, one five-star, and several four-star R&D talents, plus previous experience in developing automotive fast charging technology, it only took five days to overcome.
Although it doesn’t seem like much time was used, this is because of such a luxurious team and their experience.
The experience is gained by spending a lot of time and energy before, even cheating the system.
If other companies want to develop fast charging technology, they will spend at least one or two years of time and energy. Considering the need to bypass technology patents, it will take even longer.
Even without a good R&D team, it may not be possible to achieve it in a few years.
After looking at the completed technology panel, Xu Yifan's eyes fell on the rest of the system data.
"In other words, although the speed of money coming in has finally increased a little bit recently, it's still not enough."
The numbers in the [Funds] column on the system panel show that the funds that can be used now are more than 135 million.
After the recent batches of cars have been delivered, mainly to major car companies, and some to rich people who have enough money to buy them for fun after test driving, Jiuyuan electric cars and Jiuzhou low-speed cars have made profits.
The official support of lowering tax rates has also increased the original income a lot.
After increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, it finally quickly exceeded the 100 million capital mark.
"It's a pity that it's still not enough money. Without one worth 18 billion, there is no sense of security at all!" he sighed a little.
After looking at the funding column, Xu Yifan then looked at the technologies currently undergoing major R&D breakthroughs.
[Second-generation engine technology, the research and development progress is 96%. 】
[The research and development progress of the second-generation sodium-ion battery is 37%. 】
[The research and development progress of the semi-automatic battery swapping platform is 77%. 】
[Hybrid technology, research and development progress is 80%. 】
This is Xu Yifan's main technology research and development route today. There are hundreds of other less important technologies that are also being developed.
However, nowadays, due to the shortage of funds, the research and development progress of those technologies is much slower.
Under the premise of a slight lack of funds, we can only take care of these technologies that can immediately bring changes to Kyushu Automobile.
“Compared with today’s lithium iron phosphate battery technology, the first-generation sodium-ion battery is still far behind.
However, if the second generation is successful, it should be similar to today's lithium iron phosphate batteries and can be used. "
"The second-generation engine will be ready in a month or two. If the development is successful, it can be used for a while and can be at the forefront of domestic engine technology today.
But it is still far behind the engines of those established international car companies. If the third generation is successful, the thermal efficiency and power performance will be much better than the engine technology of those established car companies. "
"The semi-automatic battery swapping platform requires manual assistance. This technology is relatively simple among the technological research and development. It is estimated that it can be completed in another one or two months."
“Today’s consumers are almost unable to accept gasoline-electric hybrid technology and pure electricity. Without sufficient charging or battery replacement, it is difficult to achieve a big breakthrough in sales.
If this technology is successful, coupled with the second-generation engine technology, some consumers who cannot accept electric vehicles can also accept hybrid vehicles. "
“Third-generation engine technology, second-generation sodium-ion battery, battery swap and hybrid technology.
If you want to realize all these technologies, it is estimated that another five to six billion should be able to do it. "
"Of course, these times are based on the situation that there is sufficient funds and you can cheat when you encounter difficulties. If you don't have the money to cheat, you don't know how long it will take."
"If we continue to maintain the current earnings of Kyushu Auto and there are no major changes, we will be able to roll out these technologies in the next two years."
"By then, Jiuzhou Automobile will be able to really compete in the market. Even if there is no charging environment or battery swapping environment, hybrid models can be used to achieve lower fuel consumption and stronger power performance."
A large company should diversify its products so that all consumers have a choice, and try to meet the needs of all consumers.
If you want to charge, use charging, if you want to swap batteries, if you want extended-range hybrid, you can also use extended-range hybrid.
"It's still a little too slow. It will take a full two years if it continues like this. We have to try our best to find ways to make more money..."
While packing some experimental materials, Xu Yifan silently thought about where to make money.
In terms of car sales, Kyushu Motor's electric vehicles have made some progress, and the number of vehicles sold in the past two days has been significantly higher than before.
But until the charging problem is solved, sales will not explode, and it will be difficult to make money selling cars in large quantities.
A large part of the products sold are purchased and studied by rival car companies.
Nowadays, many large international car companies have begun to study the core components of Kyushu Automobile, such as motors, batteries, electronic controls, and even body materials.
And after trying two mass-produced models of Kyushu Motors, I want to buy the Kyushu Suzaku.
Kyushu Suzaku uses higher-end technology. As a comparison reference, it may speed up the progress of technology cracking research.
For this reason, car companies that were originally hesitant to increase prices for car purchases have all increased their prices to bleed!
The high ones have been given three and a half times the price, and the low ones have been given more than two and a half times!
This was considered a very sincere price, and Kyushu Motors began to ship Kyushu Suzakus one after another.
Xu Yifan is naturally clear about the purpose of these large car companies purchasing Kyushu Automobile in the hope of technological breakthroughs.
It's just that the cars are sold on the market, so it's impossible to stop those large car companies from buying them.
Instead of banning them from buying, take advantage of the opportunity and buy it at a high price.
Moreover, Xu Yifan is very confident in Kyushu Auto's technology.
This was all developed by him little by little, how could it be developed so easily and casually by those car companies.
And on those technology research and development roads, Kyushu Automobile has also registered many patents.
The technical routes for copying and developing Suzaku motors, controllers, and lithium iron phosphate batteries are almost completely blocked.
If you want to bypass patents, it should take more than ten or twenty years.
By then, Kyushu Auto may have entered the field of black technology and developed a new generation of transportation vehicles.
It may even be that it is not a vehicle running on the ground.
Compared with the pace of R&D progress, Kyushu Automobile is not afraid of the challenges of any large automobile company.
As for selling cars, there shouldn't be much improvement for the time being. Do you want to turn to other fields, or where can you make money quickly?
While thinking about the current situation and how it will develop next, Xu Yifan finished packing the laboratory materials.
With the second batch of batteries with fast charging technology, a batch of experimentally manufactured fast-charging battery and charger samples were held.
Xu Yifan found Feng Hao, who was recently busy contacting the iPhone company to supply batteries.
Handing a box of batteries and chargers to the other party, Xu Yifan said.
"Now, these are the latest fast-charging batteries, and they also come with chargers, which can achieve up to 60W mobile phone fast charging technology."
“At the request of the iPhone company, battery degradation has basically been completed, but this will cost extra!
Then remember to ask for a little more money, at least 50 million to start. If the asking price is sky-high, let's start with 100 million. "
Feng Hao quickly picked up these batteries and chargers.
"It just so happens that the iPhone company has been asking more questions recently, and they have basically agreed to a price of 150 yuan for a single battery."
Hearing the good news, Xu Yifan had a smile on his face: "This is not bad. If cooperation is reached, Kyushu Automobile's profits can increase again."
The profit from a single battery is 150 yuan, while the cost of Jiuzhou Auto is only 20 to 30 yuan, which is quite good.
If the sales of iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and other mobile phones are maintained, the revenue will be tens of billions.
It is another source of economic income for Kyushu Automobile, and it can continue to be obtained for a long time in the future.
"However, using this battery requires the iPhone company to make certain modifications to the circuit board of the phone to accommodate a larger current control chip."
"Maybe iPhone 4 will not use fast charging technology, but if iPhone 4S uses fast charging technology and a larger-capacity Hengxin battery, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough in mobile phone technology, with double the battery life and fast charging technology. The iPhone company won't take no for an answer."
Fast charging technology has been completed by Kyushu Automobile, and patents have been applied for. Several fast charging technology patents that we can think of have been registered.
Nowadays, everything in the factory has matured. Which technologies need to be registered for patents and which technologies do not are all determined by an audit standard, and Xu Yifan does not need to worry about anything.
After arranging some battery supply matters with the iPhone company with Feng Hao, Xu Yifan returned to his office to rest.
