Chapter 469 Cooperation reached(2/2)
Upon hearing the news, they suddenly changed from reluctant acceptance to extremely happy and excited.
Let’s not talk about the above concerns about them. Let’s talk about Jinwu Energy Group’s plan to cooperate with them on urban charging piles. This is definitely great news for them.
In the foreseeable future, urban charging piles will obviously become an important part of the urban landscape. After all, if we want to promote the development of new energy vehicles in the future, charging piles are definitely a rigid need.
Moreover, according to the existing news about lithium-sulfur batteries and proton batteries, these two batteries are batteries that can withstand high-power charging current, so future charging piles must be able to adapt to this kind of high-power charging.
Ability, and at this time, standards are very important.
Once they can participate in the formulation of this standard, the benefits will be unimaginable.
When they thought of this, all their worried thoughts disappeared and they became extremely excited. Then they pestered Li Cai to ask for details in this regard for a while, and then left Li Cai's office with satisfaction.
For them, the good news that Li Cai said hit their hearts completely and knocked away all their previous thoughts.
After Li Cai watched this group of people leave, he also smiled and shook his head.
This group of people, sometimes if you don't tell them some good news, they might have to file a lawsuit in front of shareholders.
He didn't believe that these people were really worried about the company.
No longer thinking about it, he was the only one left in the office.
And his face once again showed a thoughtful expression.
Now that he has decided to ask Lin Xiao in half a month, what kind of answer can he get by then?
Regarding this, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, this is an investment worth billions, so of course he will have this feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
But those ordinary methods cannot be used on Lin Xiao at all. According to the judgment after chatting with Lin Xiao, the needs of ordinary people, such as money and pleasure, cannot be used on Lin Xiao.
If the one on Lin Xiao's body was used, he would probably be sentenced to death directly.
Until finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, think about these things in half a month."
However, what surprised him was that he spoke to Lin Xiao within half a month.
A few days later, a call rang on Li Cai's cell phone.
When Li Cai saw the caller, his face immediately showed surprise.
"Why is it Chief Lin?"
Lin Xiao suddenly called him now?
He thought of many possibilities in his mind in an instant, but Lin Xiao's call had already come, and he couldn't just leave it there.
So after thinking for a few seconds, he picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Chief Lin! Are you looking for me?"
"Haha, if I don't look for you, aren't you going to look for me anymore?"
Lin Xiao's words on the phone made Li Cai stunned on the spot.
Then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, which was almost the same as when he became CEO, and even more exciting.
"you mean?"
"The day after tomorrow, when I come to Beijing, I invited you to have dinner with Mr. Kang from CATL. By the way, let's talk about the battery issue that you are most concerned about... Oh, maybe it's not that much of a concern to you, otherwise
If so, you won’t need me to call you.”
"You are joking! Of course we are all concerned."
Li Cai immediately laughed and said.
"Then why don't you call me? All the companies that have called me in the past few days have gone overseas, including Penguin and Ali, as well as foreign companies such as ExxonMobil, Apple, etc., you are the only one.
I didn’t make the most phone call to CATL.”
"This..." Li Cai said helplessly: "I also think that Chief Lin will test our patience in the end."
Lin Xiao was speechless and said: "Do I seem to be a person with so many thoughts?"
"Haha, of course you are not, it was our misjudgment, misjudgment." Li Cai laughed.
"Okay, anyway, the notice has been given to you now. You can talk about anything else when you arrive the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I will be there on time."
After hanging up the phone, Li Cai let out a sigh of relief, and a big stone fell from his heart.
In the end, he couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, he was overthinking it. He probably had been in the business world for a long time, and his ideas were all roundabout. He originally thought that Lin Xiao was on the second floor.
It turns out they are actually on the first floor.
"This is Mr. Chief Scientist."
Shaking his head, he called his secretary and asked him to book a ticket for the trip up next week.
…
At the same time, Lin Xiao, who went to Beijing, also put down his mobile phone.
"These businessmen always think too much of people."
He laughed, he didn't have much thought to do this kind of quiz. The other party had done their best to assist the areas without electricity, so there was no need for him to embarrass them in the end.
As for whether their power supply plan or mine-hunting operations are sincere, using this to demand two large companies would really embarrass the moral sentiments of the companies.
Anyway, the 14 billion yuan invested by the two companies is all real money.
As for the rest, he really wasn't in the mood to ask for anything else.
Of course, he could have waited until both companies came to him before telling them. In this case, these two companies would definitely continue to work on their power supply plan and mine hunting operations every day in the future.
huge investment.
However, since he will be involved in quantum computers next, he will have time by then, so he decided to finalize this matter as soon as possible.
As for whether the two companies are still willing to spend money on this in the future, he will not intervene. Each company has invested at least 7 billion. He feels that it is already a huge difficulty for the two private companies.
.
"Okay, now it's time to make a call to CATL."
Without further words, he picked up the phone again and dialed Kang Zheng's number.
The conversation that followed cannot be said to be exactly the same as Li Cai's call. It can only be said that it is only half a point different. Apart from the different words and sentences, there is almost no difference in what he wants to say.
Obviously, Kang Zheng had similar ideas to Li Cai.
It wasn't until he hung up the phone that Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is probably the unified thinking of the CEOs of these large companies."
…
Soon, the day after tomorrow, Li Cai and Kang Zheng arrived at the place where Lin Xiao was entertaining guests as scheduled. After some discussions, BYD chose proton batteries, while CATL chose lithium-sulfur batteries.
There was no disagreement between the two families and they agreed happily.
According to Lin Xiao's estimation, the two companies had probably negotiated yesterday, and they might have reached an agreement. After all, after mastering these two battery technologies, it would be a win-win cooperation for these two companies.
In confrontation, either the winner takes all, or both lose, so there is a high probability that they will only choose to cooperate.
However, these have nothing to do with Lin Xiao. Anyway, the ownership of the final technology belongs to him.
Then he discussed the distribution of interests with them. Lin Xiao's request was very simple, 40% of the net profit of each battery, and not much else.
In this regard, the two companies also breathed a sigh of relief. It was just net profit. If it were gross profit, they would probably be scolded, because their net profit was less than ten points higher than the average. If it were directly calculated from gross profit
If they take a commission, it will simply cost them their lives.
This is why Qualcomm is called a patent troll, because it takes a cut directly from the gross profit. For example, for example, how much does it cost to sell a mobile phone? Qualcomm's patents will take a percentage of the patent fee from the sales price of the mobile phone.
All in all, the 40% net profit that Lin Xiao wanted was just a little bit ahead of their bottom line.
The authorization period is five years.
This five-year authorization period can also be regarded as Lin Xiao's test of whether they can ensure that funds to assist areas without electricity are in place in the future.
"Then, thank you Chief Lin!"
"Well, this is what you deserve for keeping your promise. I will not break my word." Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said.
"Our power assistance plan will definitely continue forever."
"The same goes for our mine-chasing operations."
"OK."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and shook hands with the two of them.
“A pleasure to work with.”
“A pleasure to work with.”
The CEOs of both companies also smiled and nodded.
Chapter completed!
