Chen Weizheng came down from the top floor to the Longshan Battery Board of Directors' office. The Third Sister-in-law had not been there for a long time. Ever since Ye Fengchun was transferred, the Third Sister-in-law had become a military family member and no longer appeared at the Longshan Battery Plant.
The Longshan Battery Plant was now managed by Chairman Zhang Dechun. The General Manager was Zhou Chongwen, the Vice President of Production He Li, and the Financial Director Liu Wen.
The monthly production plan was very clear. Longshan Battery would produce 2000 tons of stock solution, 1.5 million 100ah civilian batteries, and 200,000 250ah civilian batteries. The monthly revenue was 7.7 billion yuan. They would not produce one more, but it was impossible to produce one less.
After Zhang Chi became the CEO of the Fenglin Factory, the Longshan Battery Application and Development Center existed in name only. Shen Xiaoyang went to Chen Weiqi's solar panel factory as the Director of Research and Development. Yang Jinzhang's research on the Longshan Battery Plant had entered a state of obsession. He had developed a new battery. The battery plate was a new material that he had developed himself. According to him, the material was very economical and could be obtained from large amounts of recycled materials. The 60v liquid was diluted at a ratio of one to ten and poured into the new battery. After it was sealed, the battery could be used. The 120v 150ah battery weighed 10kg.
Zhang Dechun calculated that the 60v 100ah battery would be priced at 3,800 yuan. The 120v 150ah battery would cost more than 10,000 yuan on the market. But according to Yang Jinzhang's method, each battery could be produced with one liter of stock solution, nine liters of distilled water, and about 300 yuan of materials and battery case. If the battery's market price was set at 7,000 yuan, it should be very competitive.
Zhang Chi was the first person to support Yang Jinzhang's work. He had the Longshan Battery Plant produce 50,000 large batteries every month and installed them in the Wind in the Sky and Wind in the Sky. The prices of the two vehicles were pulled down. The cheapest battery for the Wind in the Sky was only 30,000 yuan, and the cheapest one for the Wind in the Sky was 45,000 yuan.
After hearing Zhang Dechun's report, Chen Weizheng kept his head down and didn't say anything. Zhang Dechun was a little flustered, thinking that his and Zhang Chi's actions had made Chen Weizheng unhappy. After a while, Chen Weizheng looked up and saw Zhang Dechun's panic. He waved his hand and told Zhang Dechun that he was thinking about another problem. Zhang Dechun's words triggered an idea in his mind: use this battery to enter the civilian market and completely replace the original car market. Due to the use of electronic technology, cars no longer required one set of batteries to charge with another set of batteries. Instead, one set of batteries was enough. In addition to the use of solar and wind energy, a typical car would have two 120v/150ah batteries, which were more than enough. Could they consider withdrawing the original small battery from the civilian market and exclusively use it for military use? After that, there would be two main types of batteries in the civilian market. One was the ordinary battery from the Chicheng Factory, a 24v/150ah battery that weighed about 20 kilograms, and the price was about 1,000 yuan each. The other was the premium battery from the Longshan Factory, a 120v/150ah battery that weighed about 10 kilograms. The price was about 7,000 yuan. The Longshan Factory produced one million batteries of this kind every month, using only 1,000 tons of raw liquid, which reduced the cost. Zhang Dechun said that it would be best to invite Wang Hongtao, Jiang Guoping, Huang Qicheng, and Zhang Chi to discuss this matter together. Chen Weizheng asked Zhang Dechun to contact Zhang Xiaoxian and have a meeting with her after lunch to inform Wang Hongtao, Jiang Guoping, Huang Qicheng, Zhang Chi, Chen Weiqi, and Ma Yaohui to attend.
Zheng Jianyi, Chen Weikang, and Zhang Zhengping would also attend. Zhang Dechun asked him where the lunch was. Chen Weizheng raised his chin and said, "The guard camp."
Wang Hongtao, Jiang Guoping, Huang Qicheng, Zhang Chi, Chen Weiqi, Ma Yaohui, Zheng Jianyi, Chen Weiqi, and Zhang Zhengping were very understanding of the separation of military and civilian use. They were also very supportive. Ma Yaohui said that the batteries used for agricultural machinery were more similar to those used for military purposes. A 10-kilogram battery was a bit unsuitable. Zhang Zhengping said that the army would provide a portion of it to Fengtian Machinery. Ma Yaohui was overjoyed. He said that this way, agricultural use would seem to have a more powerful background.
Zhang Chi had already used a 240v/300ah battery pack on Fenglin Tianze. With the use of Chen Weiqi's solar panels, it would not be a problem to drive 800 kilometers a day. A night of AC charging could also fill up the battery. As for Fenglin Tianze, the 240v/300ah battery pack could last for more than 1,500 kilometers. The charging time was also eight hours. During this 1,500 kilometer journey, if the conditions were right, it would be able to recharge 50% of the battery just by eating and resting.
Everyone had consulted with Zhang Chi about the experience they had gained from her earlier exploration. They all agreed that they could introduce the battery to their own factories. Because of the price advantage, it should have a great impact on the market.
Zheng Jianyi said that some of the high-standard factories, such as the Jinling Factory, needed small batteries. They could specially supply them at the Longjiang Factory. The special supply had to be approved by Chen Weizheng and Zheng Jianyi. Otherwise, Zhang Zhengping could refuse.
Wang Hongtao asked the Longshan Battery Plant about the saturation production of this new battery. Zhang Dechun told everyone that it should not be a problem to double the production. Wang Hongtao believed that because of the price advantage, a large number of electric vehicle factories in the market would switch to using this battery. They had to be prepared to expand production. Huang Qicheng also had the same premonition.
Just like Lao San in the past, Jinling Factory's Shengshi, Tancheng Factory's 24k, and Longshan Factory's Yunlong were the top three in the domestic market. Shengshi's original intention was to be an official car. In the end, the demand was the highest for commercial vehicles. 24k was initially intended to be a commercial vehicle. In the end, the market placed it as a family car. Longshan Yunlong was intended to be a family car. In the end, it became the best business car in the market.
The sales of these three cars exceeded 100,000 units every month. Moreover, all of them were exported more than domestic sales.
After solving the problem of civilian batteries, Chen Weizheng felt relieved. When he was in Shao Guan, Chen Weizheng had to bear this burden. He was afraid that the batteries would cause negative harm to society. He was even more worried that those jinxed words would become reality and he would become a sinner in history. Fortunately, he was able to solve the battery problem before there was a problem. This could be considered as the person who started the trouble needed to untie it!
Dinner was to be treated by Chen Weigang. He was the full-time Deputy Secretary of Longjiang District and had not treated everyone to a meal. Now that Chen Weizheng was back, it was the right time for him to express his gratitude.
Everyone agreed that General Zheng had been promoted the fastest and should treat everyone. General Zheng said that with this big adjustment, as long as one was in the political and military world, they were qualified to treat everyone. However, everyone was in Wei Gang's territory now, so it was more appropriate for them to eat his food.
Hearing General Zheng's mischievous words, Chen Weixin also sighed. People of different statuses had different ways of expressing themselves. If not, everyone should move to Qingshan Town, and he would pay for everyone's meal.
Ruan Yue said that it would not be your turn to go to Longjiang District. The current Longjiang District was not worse off than Qingshan Town. Wang Lianli said that she did not care about all of you. All of you had been promoted. Only Wei Jie and I would stay where we were. We would not treat anyone.
Chen Weizheng said that all of you could not be promoted every time. If all of you were promoted every time, in another two years, even my uncle's husband would have to give up his position to all of you.
Hearing this, everyone laughed. Wang Lianli was the real god. After a few years, the Executive Deputy Mayor of Gu Yi City had become the Secretary of the Red River Provincial Party Committee.
Jiang Guoping asked Chen Weizheng if he had been to Shin Myung Province recently. He wondered how Hu Guoping was doing. Although they had been in contact with each other on the phone, Wang Lianli always missed him. He had also heard that Shin Myung Province had a war with Siam. Wang Lianli wondered if this would affect them. The family members who went to Xinlong Automobile Factory in Shin Myung Province were worried.
Chen Weizheng said that they had just returned from there. Everything was fine, except that they were busy. The quality of the workers there was not very high. Those who went there were mostly technical leaders. Their products were already off the production line. Now, Fenglin Tianyun's production was the largest, with more than 100,000 units per month. The second was the modified version of the Xiongguan Mini 4WD, and the third was the overseas version of Longshan Yunlong. Chen Weizheng asked Zhang Dechun to send a car of new batteries for Hu Guoping to try.
Zhang Chi said that there was no need for him to try. His experiments at Fenglin Factory were all related to Hu Guoping.
As for the war between Siam and Shin Myung Province, it was Siam asking for a beating. They were not on the same level, and the war was not satisfying. For eleven hours, all of the attacks were from the air. 70,000 people and six armored divisions were all finished. When the ground troops arrived, the attack was already over. 70,000 people and 70,000 vegetables, and not a single one survived. Even so, Siam still had to pay 100 billion USD. Otherwise, Shen Zhong's Dongfang Army Group's flag would be flying in the sky above Barbarian Valley in a week.
100 billion USD? That's a little too much! Wang Lianli said.
Everyone was involved in economics, but they had always played around with the level of 100 or 200 million RMB. Suddenly, 100 billion USD was a little too much for everyone.
It was not too much! Chen Weizheng said. Luo Zhanghong's General Armament Department had sold 50,000 Air Jeeps to the United States for a transaction value of 850 billion USD.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Shin Myung Province was extraordinarily rich!
Chen Weizheng said that the money came in quickly, but it also went out quickly. For high-speed rail, highways, and river management, the largest sum of money came from agricultural development. Minister Long Jinxing was in charge of agriculture, so he spent the most money.
Chen Weixin asked Chen Weizheng if the rumors in the market recently that Shin Myung Province was preparing to cultivate opium on a large scale were true. Chen Weizheng said that it was not true. There were plans to cultivate opium, but they were not going to turn it into opium. Their main goal was to get opium seeds and maize oil. These were two good things. However, they were not done yet. Because of Long Jinxing's arrival, Shin Myung Province's farmers had learned how to cultivate rice and kudzu. Most of them had also entered state farms to cultivate rubber and herbs. With enough financial support, the development of agriculture was quite effective.
