Let's talk about the foreign countries first.
The reaction abroad was completely within Chen Jin's expectations.
Affected by the announcement of Xing Hai Technologies' "High Energy 1" battery technology, the international price of crude oil plummeted on March 18th!
From the highest price of 140 dollars per barrel, it plummeted to 120 dollars per barrel.
A few days later, it even fell below 100 dollars and returned to the normal price range.
In addition, many Western countries could not sit still. They began to shout:
"Xing Hai Technologies has made a major breakthrough in the field of energy technology, bringing hope to global environmental governance. Carbon emissions have been greatly reduced, and the greenhouse effect will be effectively curbed. But all of this is based on Xing Hai Technologies' unselfish technology."
"Protecting the environment is the responsibility of every country and every company. Xing Hai Technologies is obligated to help us, provide technical support, and build a better home."
"Xing Hai Technologies, help us, save this devastated planet!"
For a while, the awareness of environmental protection in many Western countries increased greatly. They suddenly realized that they urgently needed Xing Hai Technologies' new energy technology to improve the ecological environment of the entire planet.
For example, they really needed the High Energy 1 battery technology.
"Stolen. Such a powerful battery technology, it should … should be stolen from us. Despicable thieves."
The netizens in the M nation were basically still using the same rhetoric. But for some reason, many netizens were not as confident as before.
…
What surprised Chen Jin even more was the domestic reaction.
The reaction of the domestic new energy companies.
In particular, the Lishen Corporation, Biyadi Battery, Ningde Times, Didu Guoneng, Guoxuan High-Tech, and other domestic battery manufacturers launched "complaints" against Xing Hai Technologies.
"Xing Hai Technologies, do you have to be so perverted? We used 20 years to increase the energy density of the battery from 200 Wh/kg to 450 Wh/kg. The manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable. Our researchers have not been lazy for a single day. We even worked overtime in the R&D room during the New Year. But what about you? You broke the rules and flipped the table. You made us unable to continue our work! "
"Breaking the rules, Xing Hai Technologies, you are breaking the rules! 1,500 Wh/kg. We need at least 10 years to reach this level. It's acceptable if your technical indicators are a little higher. But to exceed it by three times, you are trying to kill us! "
"It's simply a copy of the 'graphene technology' from some time ago. After Xing Hai Technologies entered the 'graphene' era of freedom, all the domestic graphene companies have been incorporated by Xing Hai Technologies. After obtaining the technical authorization from Xing Hai Technologies, they have to hand over 50% of the net profit for 20 years! Initially, I thought that Xing Hai Technologies would stop here. I didn't expect them to still target the battery industry! "
"Alright, if that's the case, I won't do it! Xing Hai Technologies, I have more than 20,000 workers in my factory. I have invested tens of billions to build the factory and equipment. I will sell them all to you at cost price. We will withdraw from the battery industry! "
"There are more than 30,000 employees in my factory, which is connected to more than 30,000 families. Many of the workers are currently paying off their mortgages, and many of them have to pay for their children's schooling. Now, I'm handing all of this over to you, Xing Hai Technologies. Please take good care of these workers who just want to live a peaceful life!"
"With great power comes great responsibility. Xing Hai Technologies, the future of Z country's new energy industry is all in your hands!"
The resentment of the energy manufacturers in the country soared to the sky as they voiced their complaints and dissatisfaction.
A few manufacturers simply gave up and asked Xing Hai Technologies to take over.
Of course, they couldn't help but complain.
Foul.
Xing Hai Technologies really broke the rules!
Moreover, were these domestic manufacturers not working hard in the new energy field? Were they investing too little capital? Were they not determined and perseverance enough to change the world's energy landscape?
None of the above.
These domestic manufacturers were doing their best to advance into the new energy field. It was like an arms race. They worked hard to accumulate breakthroughs bit by bit. They never slacked off.
In the end, they encountered a dimensional reduction attack by Xing Hai Technologies. All their previous efforts were in vain, and they were facing elimination.
It would be strange if they could still talk in harmony.
After all, Xing Hai Technologies' approach was to take away all of their cake. It seriously damaged their interests.
Among the many denunciations.
Chen Jin suddenly realized that one should not touch other people's cake at will.
Previously, he tried his best to avoid harming the interests of others. He would not destroy the rice bowls of domestic manufacturers. If he wanted to destroy something, he would destroy the rice bowls of foreigners.
But this time, the interests of the domestic energy manufacturers were under the threat of the "High Energy 1" battery.
Dozens of factories.
Millions of related workers.
Hundreds of billions of investments.
Even the country had approached him to negotiate, hoping that he could handle it properly. The country also had a lot of investments in these energy companies.
"We welcome advanced energy technology, and will never hinder its promotion! But considering the scope of the impact, please act prudently and handle it properly. "This was the message sent by the higher-ups to Chen Jin.
…
Xing Hai Building.
In the high-level conference room.
Chen Jin and the company's senior executives discussed for a while.
"President Chen, for now, we can only take the route of 'light on assets, heavy on intellectual property.' We won't build the battery factory ourselves. We can only license the 'High Energy 1' battery technology and take 50% of the net profit from it.
In this way, the domestic battery manufacturers will not go bankrupt. The workers and factories will be preserved, and it will not cause too much of a shock.
"This is also the best way to solve this problem."
Ling Jun Dong, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, said.
The other senior executives nodded.
Vice President Liang Ying said, "The path of light on assets is actually the best choice for high-tech companies to reduce costs and avoid risks. Because building a factory requires investment, hiring workers requires wages, and paying taxes to the country. Good products that are profitable not only have a long return cycle, but they may also lose money.
If we license the technology, we will transfer the costs and risks. Although only half of the net profit belongs to us, it is still very cost-effective overall! "
The other senior executives agreed, "Yes, our main focus should be on technology research and development! Technology is constantly iterated. Too many heavy assets will become a huge burden in the future. "
In other words, Xing Hai Technologies was more suitable to be a patent troll.
Chen Jin shook his head and said, "We don't have any heavy assets at all! We still need to build our own battery factory to meet our own needs. The scale doesn't need to be too big, 10 billion should be enough.
As long as you have your own battery factory, you will be able to know the operating conditions of others in the same industry. You will have a rough idea of how much they can earn. Otherwise, if you license the technology to others and they lose money every year without any net profit to hand over, wouldn't we be the good guys for nothing? "
This was also the drawback of the profit-sharing model. It was not that Xing Hai Technologies had never encountered such a situation, so they had to be careful and establish an intuitive reference system.
Ling Jun Dong and the others nodded. "President Chen is right."
…
The solution was decided.
Xing Hai Technologies agreed to license the "High Energy 1" technology. All domestic battery manufacturers could apply for cooperation.
But the domestic manufacturers were still not satisfied.
"50% profit sharing? Wouldn't we be working for Xing Hai Technologies? "
"This ratio is really too high, we can't accept it."
"30%, 30% at most!"
Chen Jin's attitude towards these dissatisfaction was very tough. "50% of the domestic market, this cannot be reduced. Xing Hai Technologies will not give in."
But he also left them a way out. "If you expand into the foreign market, we will take a little less, only 30%. The foreign market is not smaller than the domestic market, you can also expand overseas."
Only 30% overseas?
The domestic manufacturers were instantly tempted. They could not make much money in the domestic market, but they could make a lot of money overseas. They could vigorously expand overseas.
"Alright! We agree to cooperate. "
One by one, the cooperation agreements were successfully signed.
However, it was at this moment.
The military suddenly intervened and solemnly stated, "High Energy 1 batteries are prohibited from being sold overseas."
