"Director Li, how is the development of the battery we entrusted you to develop? I never give you less money." Feng Yu suddenly asked.
"The progress is going quite smoothly. According to your requirements, lithium batteries will be ready next year. There are also nickel batteries, zinc batteries, etc., but these costs are higher than traditional lead-acid batteries. Do you want to install them on your motorcycles?"
"Not just motorcycles, our machinery company produces cars and trucks, which also need batteries. I can sign an agreement with the motor factory. As long as you can meet our requirements, we will purchase batteries from the motor factory in the future. In this way, the motor factory can make a lot of money every year, right?"
"How many motorcycles and cars do you produce every year?"
"This year, there will be no less than 300,000 motorcycles and no less than 20,000 cars. The main reason is that the factory is still under construction and will not be put into production until the end of the year. But next year, the production of motorcycles is guaranteed to exceed 600,000 units. The number of cars can exceed 100,000 units, all using your batteries!"
"Really, your branch factories also use our batteries?" Li Shiyou was overjoyed.
If this is the case, then batteries alone can bring hundreds of millions in turnover to motor factories every year. As the output of machinery companies increases, their turnover and profits will also increase a lot, maybe even tens of millions. profit. But are those batteries really suitable for car batteries
"Yes, and for this battery project, I suggest you open branch factories. For example, follow the market layout of our machinery company and open branch factories in multiple places..."
"Wait, you want us to open a branch factory too?"
"Can't you?"
"If you are rich, you can open ten branches at once. Our electrical machine factory does not have that much capital and cannot afford to open a branch factory." Li Shiyou said in a sour tone.
"Then let's cooperate. I invested in your research and development of this technology. I agreed at the beginning that the results belong to me, right? So the investment in technology does not count. You provide people, technicians, workers, etc., and I provide the factory , equipment and funds, how about we set up a joint venture?"
Feng Yu stated his purpose. The future battery market, with the development of electric vehicles and the automobile industry, will be very huge. How could Feng Yu miss this good opportunity to make money
Even if you can't monopolize the domestic market, becoming the leader is definitely not a problem. Electric vehicle batteries alone generate billions of sales every year, and the profits are definitely not small.
"Cooperation?" Li Shiyou became wary when it came to cooperation. Does he know that every time they cooperate, although the motor factory does not suffer losses, most of the money seems to have been made by Feng Yu.
"Let's talk about this later. Director, why don't you say anything?" Li Shiyou decided to go back and study it in detail before deciding whether to cooperate with Feng Yu and how to cooperate.
Wen Deguang picked up the wine glass and said: "Director Li, there is not much else to say. I would like to propose a toast to you and thank you for your help to our farm."
Wen De Guangxin said, I speak, what do I say? Did you two give me a chance to talk? When we first started talking about power generation, I couldn't get in the way. Then you two started talking about business cooperation, and I couldn't get in the way.
Feng Yu just remembered that Uncle Wen was sitting next to him.
"I won't drink anymore, and I'm still driving." After all, both of them drink liquor in one gulp, and Feng Yu doesn't want to mix it up.
Wen Deguang then began to talk in detail with Li Shiyou about building a power station while drinking. Feng Yu also helped from time to time, striving for maximum convenience for the farm.
Finally, Feng Yu, on behalf of Taihua Grain Processing Factory, invested one million. In the future, not only would he be able to use electricity at a 30% discount, but he would also be able to obtain a certain amount of profit from the electricity bill.
This method is generally used by local governments to build power stations, and there is precedent for it. In terms of specific operations, the motor factory and the farm work together to achieve success easily.
Guodian, which is caught in the middle, can share part of the profits for free as long as it is allowed to be connected to the grid, and they will not object.
After dinner, Wen Deguang went to the city to report to the Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau. The problem of returning farmland to their farm could be completely solved. However, Wen Deguang has no real intention to plant grass on that land. Since the policy from above has not been finalized yet, he plans to outsource it to other farmers and collect part of the fee to use it as a small treasury for the farm. When will the policy come down, and when will farmland be forced to return to farmland again
…
When Li Shiyou returned to the motor factory, he immediately called for the deputy chief engineer in charge of the battery project, the factory's sales department director, and several other relevant people to come over. He wanted to first ask if Feng Yu could cooperate with this battery. If so, what should he do? How to cooperate and how many minimum shares should be required.
"Director, to be honest, I am not optimistic about this battery project. As for this lithium battery, the price is so high, will anyone buy it? For ordinary cars, lead-acid batteries are enough, just to start a fire. Just light a lamp, lead-acid batteries are so cheap. I really don’t know what lithium batteries are used for except for some equipment that requires special power storage." said the deputy chief engineer.
"I think we can cooperate. Didn't Feng Yu say that he will provide the venue, funds, and equipment, and we will just provide the technicians and workers. Calculating it this way, we will not have to pay much. If we succeed, The profit is not low. Besides, Feng Yu promised that all the cars of his machinery company will use our batteries in the future, but some of their factories are in the south. Could they purchase them from our Bingcheng and transport them to the south? The purchase he mentioned is probably from Purchasing from cooperative factories. If we don't agree to cooperate, this purchase will be out of the question. Even if we produce lead-acid batteries, we can still make a lot of profits." The sales director said shrewdly.
"Technicians and workers have to leave their hometowns to work in other places. Do we need to provide overseas subsidies? Wages need to be raised. Can Feng Yu accept it?"
"It should be fine. Workers in the machinery company, but their wages have increased faster than those in our factory. I heard that it was Feng Yu who proposed it. There is also the Taihua Company, which increases wages every year. I heard that now they have one person per month. The salary is over 170. This Feng Yu is not stingy with workers." said the director of the finance department of the electrical machine factory.
Li Shiyou shook his head: "You don't understand what I mean. When I tell you this, I am not asking whether you will cooperate, but whether you are sure to cooperate with him. Now my question is, should we invest a sum of money to Increase shareholding ratio.”
"What? Director, if we receive the order from the Three Gorges this time, then our focus will be on this. Where will we have the money to invest in a new factory? Besides, even if we have workers and technicians, we may not have enough. Well. What Feng Yu means is that he doesn’t want to open a factory, right?"
Li Shiyou was very hesitant. Based on his knowledge of Feng Yu, Feng Yu had never lost money on his investment. But where is the market for this battery? Lithium batteries used in cars? Why doesn't he believe it? Wouldn’t the cost of the car increase a lot and the profit decrease
There are so many people, but there is no one who can discuss it. No, I have to test Feng Yu tomorrow. This opportunity to make money must not be missed!
