Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Shanghai suburbs.

In a 20-story office building, in a conference room stacked with boxes, a white man with brown hair and high nose beams sat on one side of the table, staring at Li Tinghui sitting on the other side, as if waiting quietly for something like this.

The wall clock walked quietly, and the moment the needle was pointing toward the whole point, a click rang.

It was as if the sound interrupted my mind, and Li Tinghui, sitting there motionless, finally made a move.

In between, he took a deep breath and closed the contract on the table.

“I'm sorry, I can't accept your offer. ”

This is an acquisition contract, not for a beep charge, but for himself.

It must be said that the price of the dismissal of this Mr. Beevis is indeed quite tempting.

He scrapped the power of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers to exchange 60 percent of his shares for $10 million in financing from Sky Technologies, which is not his own. Now Tesla is willing to buy the remaining 40% of his shares for $10 million.

If he agrees, he will get ten million dollars directly.

And, of course, in contrast, if he agrees, that would mean he's out and out of control of the beep charge. And the beep charging he founded will also be transformed from a promising charging pile company into a battlefield between Star Sky Technology and Tesla's power in the field of charging piles.

“Nothing, we didn't expect to negotiate once.” I'm not surprised by Li Tinghui's answer. The white man stood up and said with an uninteresting smile on his face. “But I still hope you think about it carefully, after all...”

Paused for a moment, he continued.

“You're dealing with a huge, tens of billions of dollars in assets, and even if Sky Technologies is going to support you, it doesn't seem worth mentioning to me how big you are. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, the corner of Bevis' mouth curled upwards with a frivolous curve.

Though Musk had instructed him to try to talk to the founder of the beep charge to see if he could buy the remaining 40% of the shares and get rid of it.

But deep down in his heart, he didn't really put that sentence in his heart.

As a leader in the field of NEVs, after years of publicity, Tesla has been sedimentary in the field of NEVs for a long enough period of time, like Apple in the mobile phone sector, to gain a large number of loyal supporters simply by relying on its own brand image.

Now that Tesla has acquired EVGO and mastered the full technology of "150-350KW Ultra-High Power Rapid Charging Pile” and related patents, the first batch of equipment has been put into operation at Tesla plant in Shanghai, and the first batch of Ultra-High Power Rapid Charging Pile can be placed on the market by the end of next month.

Wireless charging?

Sounds like a stubborn idea, but expecting the stubborn capital behind the god of war Tesla is too delusional.

By the time they make the product, the whole market here in Shanghai will be Tesla's subsidiaries.

After he was sent away, Wang Qiang, the company's technical director, walked beside Li Tinghui and looked at the Tesla model, which was gradually moving away from the floor window. He asked quietly.

“President Lee, is that Tesla's man? ”

It's not just Wang Qiang asking the question.

Several employees in the office also looked this way, apparently listening with their ears up.

Li Tinghui nodded after a moment of silence in the face of a competent inquiry from his men: "Well, Beavis, general manager of Tesla Warsaw. ”

There was a surprising whisper in the office.

After hearing a positive answer, Wang Qiang's face raised a glimmer of vision for the future and said with emotion. “Our company is getting really awesome. First we got funding from Startech, and now Tesla throws out olive branches... are they here to talk about financing? ”

Li Tinghui's expression remained unchanged and nodded for a while: “... sort of. ”

Of course he couldn't have told his men that Bevis didn't come with a financing contract, he came with a "letter of persuasion”.

That's too bad for morale.

“So, Mr. Lee, do you agree? ”

Looking at the expression of anticipation on the faces of the entrepreneurial partners, somehow, Li Tinghui's mind suddenly appeared with the same look that Bevis had left before he left.

That look was like looking at a bunch of ants, not just disdainful, but totally unmindful of them.

Feeling a flame burning in his chest, especially in the eyes of his peers, Li Tinghui was silent for a while and suddenly raised his head and said.

“No.”

Quiet in the office.

Especially technical director Wang Qiang, the boss with his mouth open, couldn't believe watching Li Tinghui.

No?

That's Tesla!

A giant in the NEV industry!

He really wondered why his boss refused Tesla's resources.

Li Tinghui knew what they were thinking and continued to speak calmly.

“Tesla didn't come with candy, they came with guns. ”

“Some of you may have heard of it, some of you may still be in the drums, but from now on, each of you must know that Tesla, who acquired Evgo, is entering the China charging pile market, and he is our competitor and cannot be our ally. If we accept their financing, then surrender to them! ”

“Remember, what we're going to do is the biggest charging pile company in the country and in the world, not the client of a NEV company! ”

“Besides, it's an American business! ”

“Do you expect to rise with their resources? Dream on! Their sole purpose in acquiring us is to destroy us and pave the way for their own fully controlled evgo to occupy the markets of the Long Triangle city complex and even the entire China Power Export Port! ”

Whether their entrepreneurial partners understand themselves or not.

But these are his deepest and truest thoughts.

As his voice dropped, the office fell silent.

Some people have confusion on their faces, others have regrets on their faces, more people have written on their faces, but they are infected with an identity...

I don't know who clapped first.

As contagious as it is, the applause shifted from leaching rain to pouring rain, eventually filling the entire office.

Faced with an applause of the office, Li Tinghui took a deep breath and slightly lowered his head.

“Thanks!”

“It has been an honor for my life to be able to accomplish this with you. ”

……

Whether ambition triumphed over reason, or simply out of blind optimism about the R&D power of Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, after thoroughly understanding the status quo, Li Tinghui's face did not show any expression of apprehension, but rather was much easier than yesterday's.

The opponent is Tesla Holdings evgo.

It is foreseeable that all purely electric vehicles across the Tesla Group will set a threshold for compatibility with their products.

But that's not what he needs to worry about right now; there are only two things he needs to worry about right now.

One is the relocation of office space.

Another thing is to negotiate with major shopping malls, residential neighborhoods, parking lots in Shanghai to talk about the project of exclusive parking space for wireless charging piles at the smallest possible cost...

Public canteen in the office building.

Sitting in a quiet corner eating, Li Tinghui listened to the news on TV.

At this point, CCTV's international news channel suddenly released a report on the groundbreaking progress of lithium air batteries, as well as the top chemistry magazine, JACS, and Professor Lu's name.

Lithium empty battery?

The word was caught sharply in his ear, and Li Tinghui looked up at the TV screen and was surprised.

This technology is so dark...

Lithium-sulfur batteries have just come out. Do you want to use lithium-sulfur batteries again now?

He sent a bite of rice into his mouth, chewing it and spreading his mind carelessly.

Although he is not in the direction of material science, the electrical engineering profession, to a lesser extent, involves a little bit of this.

If lithium-air battery technology truly breaks through, NEVs will once again be upgraded to a level, and charging piles will become more effective than replaceable batteries.

After all, when replacing batteries, users have to pay for a range of overt or implicit costs, such as depreciation, refurbishment or even environmental protection. Only on the highway are consumers motivated to exchange money for time, and there is a wide market for replaceable batteries.

And if you run just in the city, in front of your house, even the current mileage of lithium-sulfur batteries is not that simple to run out of. Stop the car, sleep one night and the battery will be charged, and the fool will change the battery.

Anyway, this thing should be good news for beep charging.

The next piece of news, which ends with news about the continued rise in international iron ore prices. According to analysis, the price of infrastructure materials has risen continuously as a result of the recent heat in the infrastructure market in Asia, even spilling over into raw materials such as iron ore, upstream of the industrial chain.

Not very concerned about the futures market, Li Tinghui continued to eat and completely took his attention off the TV.

At this moment, he does not realize, or everyone does not realize, how the news of this lithium empty battery will have a huge impact on the warming charging pile market and even on the entire new energy industry...
