Chen Jin thought of something and asked, "Oh right, Zhao Qiang, what is the approximate production cost of High Energy 1? Can it be mass-produced?"
"Uh, the cost of laboratory preparation is very high."
Zhao Qiang thought for a while and said, "About $10,000 per kilogram. But after mass industrial production, the cost is expected to be reduced to less than $1,000. Assuming that each pure electric vehicle carries 100 kilograms of high-energy batteries, the cost of the entire vehicle would only be about a few hundred thousand. It is entirely possible for consumers to buy an electric vehicle equipped with High Energy 1 within $200,000."
Actually, Chen Jin's question was a little redundant.
Because for any product that could be mass-produced, no matter how high the initial price was, it would definitely be reduced to the price of a commoner or cabbage in the future.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about consumers not being able to afford High Energy 1 batteries.
Chen Jin nodded.
Suddenly, he thought of something else.
International oil prices!
Chen Jin asked Zhao Qiang, "How much is the current international oil price? Have you paid attention to this price? "Chen Jin asked Zhao Qiang.
"Mr. Chen, you've asked the right person. We have been paying attention to the trend of international oil prices. After Merica established that regional economic alliance last year, Merica, on the one hand, restricted high-tech exports to the Z nation. On the other hand, they gathered a few major oil-producing countries to intentionally push up international oil prices by reducing production and limiting production.
In the past year, the international oil price has skyrocketed from the previous $70 per barrel to the current $140 per barrel. The price of oil has almost reached its highest point in more than 20 years. "
"$140 per barrel, doubled?"
Chen Jin did not pay attention to the news every day, but he often heard news about the rising prices of various shopping malls, express delivery fees, and the endless complaints in the logistics field.
This was the most direct manifestation of the rising oil prices.
Oil was too closely related to daily life. Not only was it a raw material for various industrial products, but it was also refined into gasoline and diesel. It was a fuel that was necessary in the logistics and transportation fields.
Once the price of oil rose, the prices of all aspects of the people's livelihood would also rise. It could be said that it was directly related and directly affected the living standards of the people.
"Mr. Chen, it is not only the price of oil that is rising now. The prices of iron ore, copper ore, rare metals, and food are also rising internationally. The average increase is at least 30%. There is no doubt that Merica is behind this. Many large multinational companies from Merica cooperated with the requirements of the Merican government. They used their advantage of controlling a large number of places of origin to artificially control the price of various raw materials.
"The purpose is to contain the rise of the Z nation and increase the cost of our development."
"It can also be said that Merica really has no other way to deal with us. They really can't stop us, so they can only use this method to add some obstacles for us."
"But it has to be said that this has indeed achieved a certain effect. In the past year, domestic prices have increased by an average of 15%. Every day, there are all kinds of news on television about curbing the rapid rise in prices. But our country is so big, with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and there is a huge demand in all aspects. With the rise in the price of raw materials, the standard of living has indeed dropped significantly. "
"These days are obviously not going to be easy."
Zhao Qiang said with a sigh.
"Hehe, I'm just at my wit's end."
Chen Jin sneered and shook his head. The Merican Empire would always have such little prospects.
More than 30 years ago, there was an expert who warned that oil resources were about to be exhausted, and that there were only 40 to 50 years left to recover, and that the price would definitely rise in the future. More than 20 years ago, there was an expert who warned that oil resources were about to be exhausted, and that there were only 40 to 50 years left to recover.
More than 10 years ago, and more recently, there were still experts who warned that oil resources were about to be exhausted, and that there were only 40 to 50 years left to recover.
It could even be concluded that even if 40 to 50 years had passed, oil resources were estimated to still be able to be recovered for several decades.
This planet was really too big. When the old resources were exhausted, new resources were discovered.
When the resources on land were exhausted, there was still the vast seabed.
Therefore, there was really no need to worry too much about the problem of insufficient resources … Humans would always think of ways to get the resources they wanted.
Especially for oil, the most reasonable price range for this kind of raw material was 50 to 100 US dollars per barrel. If it exceeded 100 US dollars, it would be an inflated price, and it would be a malicious price increase.
Soon, some new products and technologies would appear to suppress this price.
For example, the kerosene technology would begin to be profitable. Domestic kerosene plants would be able to operate at full capacity and convert coal into oil.
For example, the mining of flammable ice from the seabed would also be profitable. The relevant drilling platforms could mine flammable ice in large quantities.
Clean energy such as wind power, hydropower, solar energy, nuclear power plants, and so on would also enter a period of rapid construction.
In addition, the development of electric vehicles would accelerate, and the subsidies given by the state would increase. The construction of supporting facilities such as charging stations would also be accelerated immediately.
All of the above actions had one goal: to reduce oil consumption and gradually end the over-reliance on oil products.
Zhao Qiang said excitedly, "President Chen, this is a great opportunity, an opportunity to sell our 'High Energy 1' batteries in large quantities."
"A few years ago, the state introduced guidelines to achieve 100% electrification of public buses and taxis by 20X5. By 20X0, the use of gasoline vehicles will be completely eliminated, and all sales of gasoline vehicles will no longer be allowed."
"By that time, there will be hundreds of millions of electric vehicles in the country. I wonder how terrifying the number of batteries that will be used will be?"
"And I wonder how huge the market will be."
"And our 'High Energy 1' TV is the battery with the highest technical content, the highest safety, and the highest energy density. With the competitiveness of the 'High Energy 1' in the market, we will be able to gobble up at least half of the battery market worth a few trillion!"
"President Chen, our Xing Hai Technologies will soon become an energy giant. We will become the world's largest energy carrier supplier!"
Chen Jin nodded. Zhao Qiang was right. The high international oil price was indeed an obvious advantage for the promotion of the "High Energy 1" battery.
Hundreds of millions of electric vehicles and at least a few trillion battery market — and this was only in the automotive sector.
At the thought of such huge profits.
Was there even a moment of hesitation?
Announce it, announce it.
Immediately announce the breakthrough that Xing Hai Technologies had achieved in the field of new energy and the powerful performance of the "High Energy 1" to the public.
Hence, on the 17th of March!
Xing Hai Technologies held a product launch and announced this brand new battery product — High Energy 1.
Boom …
A blockbuster was detonated.
Less than half an hour after the launch.
On the internet, news about the "High Energy 1" quickly flooded the major media, social media platforms, and forums.
The monstrous waves that followed were beyond Chen Jin's expectations.
