Chapter 7 Solid-State Battery Technology Fan Ren didn't keep the secret. Even someone of Lin Chang's technical level could beat Liu Jun. But when it comes to business, he is a complete novice. "If it were you, would you choose to sell the technology or attract investment to do it yourself?" Liu Jun thought for a moment and replied solemnly, "From my personal point of view, I definitely recommend you to sell it and cash out." "I have learned about the relevant industries in the past few days. According to my estimation, it should not be a problem to sell it for at least 30 billion." Fan Ren asked, "But?" Liu Jun nodded and continued, "But from a long-term perspective, 30 billion is too low. This market is too big, and it is impossible to estimate the future market size at present." Fan Ren took over the conversation and said, "Yes, believe me, any high-voltage wireless charging technology in the future cannot bypass my patent. And currently we can make 1150v products, but we are limited by the materials. Once there is a breakthrough in materials, this number will increase greatly." “So, if you’re giving advice from the perspective of three generations of my family in business, I suggest you do it yourself.”
After a pause, Liu Jun continued: "But this road will be particularly difficult. Manufacturing has always been the most difficult road to take." "Even if we behave too badly and are boycotted by all our peers, you can understand the consequences by looking at the hydrogen energy of small countries." Fan Ren nodded, he knew the consequences of doing so. The small country is far ahead in hydrogen energy research, and has established patent barriers first, leaving the most difficult and lowest-value storage and other marginal technologies to other countries. This led to a boycott from related industries around the world, which ultimately led to the vigorous development of new energy. Is hydrogen energy not clean, efficient or safe enough? No, it was because they ate in such an ugly way that the result was disastrous. The same is true for monitors, which are still small and operate in the same way. In the end, all peers were forced to tacitly avoid plasma technology. Therefore, if you choose not to sell the patent, then how to make concessions is a choice. You know, although high-voltage wireless charging is the way to go, Fanren knows that his technology is the only choice. Other manufacturers simply cannot get around patents. However, we must not underestimate the power of capital. They will even unite with suppliers in the relevant downstream industrial chain to boycott at any cost. "What do you think?" Fan Ren asked. Liu Jun scratched his forehead and said helplessly: "Damn it, you're making such a fuss right after graduation." The two discussed behind closed doors and finally decided to license the technology to various companies for a price of 5 million over a five-year period. Compared with the huge market in the future, this price is so low that it can be ignored. But precisely because the price is low, other requirements can be included in the contract. For example, all companies are not allowed to engage in malicious competition against products listed on Xinghai. After that, after getting the money, I expanded the company, redesigned the related products, and sold them to the market under my own brand. This is also the reason why we sell technology at a low price and make requirements.
After all, Xinghai has just started out. Without strong capital backing, this is the only way it can survive in today's capital-dominated market. At this time, Liu Jun's value was reflected. Although he is now somewhat "banished" in the Liu family, he still has some connections in the business world after following his father for many years. How to talk and who to talk to? Fan Ren threw all these things to Liu Jun. And after obtaining Liu Jun's consent, Fan Ren directly offered Liu Jun a not low salary. In his words, 'Brothers should settle accounts clearly, even though there is no money now.' Liu Jun disagreed with this point even more than Fan Ren. He had seen too many companies fall apart because of money. With Liu Jun joining him, he no longer had to pay tuition fees in the unfamiliar field of business negotiations. Liu Jun spent an entire night with Fan Ren to familiarize himself with the various indicators of the 1150V high-voltage wireless charging technology, and recorded them one by one for future use in negotiations. The next morning, Liu Jun, who had only slept for two hours, left a message, put on his designer suit and went out. "At the age of 23, with 20,000 yuan in my pocket, I'm ready to go out and become a gangster." Yes, Fan Ren threw the company's exclusive bank card to him and let him handle all the few funds in it. After sending away the immature third brother, Fan Ren returned to the second floor and his consciousness came to the screen in his mind. Basic Science: Level 1 (178/1000) Electronics: Level 1 (207/1000) Mechanics: Level 1 (223/1000) Materials Science: Level 1 (219/1000) Astronautics: Level 1 (5/1000) After nearly two weeks of assembly, testing, and practical operation, Fanren's understanding of related technology categories has been further improved. At the same time, these skill points have also increased a lot. At this moment, a new box lit up in the technical classification column below. Solid-state battery technology. Fan Ren suppressed his excitement and slowly focused on the frame. Suddenly, a huge amount of information appeared in his mind. A battery technology with an energy storage rate of 1000wh/kg, using a certain biological extract as the medium. And the new process is used to cut the stack, which can fully and perfectly contact the electrode material to provide stable charging and discharging. This type of battery can achieve a 30% attenuation in 5 years and complete charging and discharging within 10 minutes. This is another technology that is far ahead of the relevant industries! Fan Ren half leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette and closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, his brain was like an efficiently operating chip, and he began to carefully study the details of this technology. Compared with the graphene chip technology that was unlocked before, Fan Ren feels that the emergence of battery technology is more suitable for the company's future development.
The first thing is the chip manufacturing process. Without professional machines, you can’t even get started. This is different from the high-voltage wireless charging machines we have now. The production of chips requires a large number of humanity's top machines and equipment. It can be said that traditional chips have already fully utilized the properties of materials, and they use a large number of humanity's most advanced technological equipment to be manufactured. When it comes to graphene chips, it is not something that can be accomplished by simple DIY. Although Fanren has a complete set of technology, the source of its related production equipment is enough to make him suffer. Moreover, this is not a feat that can be accomplished by just one or two people; it requires the concerted efforts and cooperation of an entire team. But battery technology is different. Compared with chips, the product of humanity's top technology, the equipment required for battery production and research and development is not as exaggerated as chips. He is confident that after the company has passed its initial development period, it will be able to establish its own laboratory and complete the research, development and production of solid-state batteries. Fan Ren opened his eyes, and while his brain absorbed a vast amount of battery-related technology, his hands quickly searched and looked up various extended information on the computer. At the same time, the experience bar on the light board in my mind was also slowly changing. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. As long as he kept learning, his experience in this area would increase. I just don’t know what changes will come when the level is upgraded to Level 2 in the near future. (End of this chapter)
