The technological empire begins with polymer materials

What does the above mean?

Gao Yuan smiled and said calmly to Mr. Zhu: "You are within the system and don't understand the meaning above. It is even less possible for me as a businessman to know."

"Although I have been to Beijing twice in the past half month, just to explain the situation, I don't even know the names and identities of most of the people in the conference room."

As Gao Yuan spoke, he recalled the conference room that looked like a university lecture hall. Wu Dongming, Ding Songlin and other people who were familiar with Gao Yuan were in the front row, but the people in the back rows could not see clearly because of the dim lighting. I can just vaguely feel that their aura is very powerful.

Mr. Zhu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't embarrass you, but I think the national team will definitely take action this time, but the intensity of the action is still unknown."

Gao Yuan looked at Mr. Zhu curiously, "Oh, why are you so sure?"

Mr. Zhu said: "You killed the first group, but now, half a month has passed, but you are unharmed. The violence department didn't even call you. This is the best evidence! Explanation Your actions are tacitly approved by the superiors!”

Gao Yuan didn't say anything. He was not a fool. Before taking action, he consulted the military and Wu Dongming's intention behind the high wall, and then he took the cruel move.

From the current point of view, the effect is still very good. Big groups such as Shangqi, Liuqi, Guangqi, etc. have all accelerated the launch of solid-state battery products, but in the eyes of the impatient Gao Yuan, they are not fast enough.

As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and swift, and the delay of the Chinese Automobile Corps has left too much time for competitors to prepare for counterattacks. No, the Western Automobile Alliance has been established and will soon reveal its trump card.

Not long after Mr. Zhu hung up the phone, BYD’s boss Wang also called.

Of all the partners in Plateau, Boss Wang is undoubtedly the most anxious, because BYD is not only a member of the China Automobile Alliance, but also an important member of the Battery Alliance, and has been completely tied to the Kunlun Company's tank.

Boss Wang brought news that battery inventory continued to increase. The upstream industry chain was actively expanding production, exceeding the speed of the downstream automobile industry, so some problems arose in the supply chain coordination.

"Don't stop, continue to expand production." Gao Yuan said firmly to Boss Wang.

"But the warehouse is almost full of space." Boss Wang said with some frustration: "The price of lithium carbonate has increased from 40,000 yuan per ton in 2014 to 500,000 yuan per ton now! The current inventory value of the Battery Alliance has It exceeds 10 billion yuan. If this continues, our liquidity will not be able to sustain it."

Gao Yuan frowned and said: "Hey, lithium carbonate is really difficult to handle. Without lithium carbonate, we can't make high-performance lithium batteries, and lithium mineral resources need to be imported in large quantities. Atacama in Chile and Umbremoor in Argentina Trust, North American silver peaks, plus lithium mines in Congo and Australia, account for almost half of our total consumption."

“The top six domestic companies, Tianqi, Ganfeng, Zhonghe, Yabao, Yahua, and Guoli, although they are also working hard to expand production, their speed is far from keeping up with our consumption, so we have no choice, we can only import in large quantities. Lithium mines, and large imports will be restricted by Western mining groups, and there is no way to lower prices."

Boss Wang nodded, "So you've already investigated it and it would be great if you could understand our difficulties. Why don't you slow down the pace temporarily? With so many batteries piled up in the warehouse, it's not an option."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Absolutely not. Difficulties will always pass, but time never waits for anyone."

"Let's do this. You calculate the current gap of the Battery Alliance and give it to Cao Feiyu. I will help you with some of the funds. Don't worry, you don't have to pay interest on this short-term loan. You just need to ensure that you go all out to expand production."

"Battery is like bullet. Before war comes, you must have enough ammunition."

Boss Wang was suddenly startled, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

…

In late November, a piece of news spread from China, quickly shocking the entire world.

Kunlun Company will hold a new product launch conference on December 2.

"I'll go! Boss Gao is finally going to take action!"

"Why use it?"

"It's simple, because December 1st is the Western Automobile Alliance's press conference. According to rumors, they are planning to launch a Christmas promotion at the end of the year."

"Boss Gao released new products on the second day of the Western Automobile Alliance conference, which is obviously tit for tat."

"The showdown between East and West! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"It is said that the West is preparing to use a cost-effective weapon to cut off the retreat of solid-state battery vehicles."

"If it weren't for Kunlun, the auto giants would never touch on cost-effectiveness, and they would be forced to cut prices."

"The wool comes from the sheep. The news says that the price of fuel vehicles has dropped, but the prices of parts and services have secretly increased."

"Even so, the price of fuel vehicles is still low, right?"

"There is no way. The high prices of carbon nanotubes and lithium carbonate have raised the cost of solid-state battery vehicles."

"The correct answer upstairs is that the price of lithium carbonate has increased more than ten times in recent years!"

"Strange, why can the price of fuel vehicles be reduced to such a low price?"

"That's because they made too much money before. You wouldn't think that a B-class car costing 200,000 yuan would cost 200,000 yuan, right?"

"Thank God if the cost can be half. Look at the financial reports of Toyota and Volkswagen. They are making a lot of money."

"The truth is that due to the advent of solid-state battery vehicles, traditional fuel vehicles have felt tremendous pressure to survive, so they have returned to their original value."

"From a cost perspective, fuel vehicles are cheaper than electric vehicles, so it's normal to sell them cheaply."

"I work at BYD. Sixty percent of the cost of electric vehicles is the battery. Whether it's solid carbon nanotubes or lithium carbonate anodes, they are too expensive."

"It would be great if the price of lithium carbonate could be lowered. Five hundred thousand yuan per ton is really outrageous."

"Stop dreaming. It would be good if the price does not increase. After all, we don't have lithium ore and need to import it."

"If Chinese companies hadn't bought a large amount of lithium mines in Australia and Congo before, with the urinary behavior of Western mining giants, I'm afraid they would have jointly raised prices."

Netizens are talking a lot, looking forward to the peak showdown between the two camps, China and the West.

As for the outcome, it is difficult to predict at present, but everyone is very troubled by the price issue of solid-state battery technology.

The price of lithium carbonate has reached 500,000 yuan per ton, and is still rising steadily.

Assuming that an average of 100 kilograms of lithium carbonate is used in each electric vehicle, the cost of this part will be 50,000 yuan. In addition, the price of solid carbon nanotubes is not cheap, so the cost of battery modules remains high.

So far, the battery module cost of small cars using solid-state batteries is 80,000 yuan, medium-sized cars are 150,000 yuan, large cars are 250,000 yuan, 11-seater commercial vehicles are 300,000 yuan, and light trucks are also 300,000 yuan. Heavy-duty trucks start at 500,000 yuan, and heavy trucks with four front and eight rear trucks need to be installed with battery modules worth millions of yuan to ensure long-distance driving.

It is not difficult to see from this that although electric vehicles are cheap to use, costing only a few cents per kilometer, consumers must first pay more than twice the price of fuel vehicles to buy an electric vehicle home.

As for reducing the number of batteries, that is not advisable. The original selling point of solid-state batteries is an ultra-long battery life of more than 2,000 kilometers to alleviate people's range anxiety. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and old-fashioned electric vehicles using ternary lithium batteries?

All in all, with the enthusiastic expectations of melon-eating people around the world, the time soon came to December 1st, and the West took the lead in taking action.

Traditional fuel vehicles VS new solid-state battery vehicles.

The war is about to break out!
