Chapter 73 Big Business
As soon as the matter in Dubai ended, Chen Rui and his team split into two groups. Ye Wuhen flew back to the Bohai Sea. Yan Feng and his team had arrived. Ye Wuhen was about to rush to receive these important scientists.
As for Chen Rui and Lao Pan, they went straight to Port Moresby, the capital of Papua, to join with Mr. Ling Jiawei, the financial director, to prepare to acquire the exclusive exploration and exclusive mining rights of this graphite x mineral.
Now the international business community has a clear division of labor. The best way to acquire large-scale enterprises is to hire professional teams. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, and other financial giants have special asset mergers and acquisitions and restructuring departments, specifically to assist business partners in negotiations.
Before Mr. Ling Jiawei arrived at Chen Rui's company, he was the top position in the Asian financial department of Goldman Sachs Group. Under his leadership, Chen Zicheng, the team of Goldman Sachs Asia chief negotiator, took the initiative.
Nowadays, the international commodity market is in a downturn, and energy, minerals and grain are all falling a lot. A small country like Papua, which is poor and backward, can sell its own mining rights and burn high incense, so it is not difficult to acquire mining rights.
After several rounds of arduous negotiations, the Octopus Group finally won the exclusive exploration and mining rights of Manus Island and nearby waters for a price of 20 million US dollars per year, with a contract term of 99 years.
The Bohai Sea is a natural port with countless wharfs of various sizes. About 40 kilometers away from the Nancheng, there is a place called Guanhai Port. The wharf connects a huge industrial park and was established by the local government at a huge expense.
The largest enterprise in the park is a lithium battery factory called Anbang Lithium Battery, which has now gone bankrupt due to insolvency.
The acquisition target of Ye Wuhen and Shen Rui was selected by this company. Anbang Lithium Battery has the world's most advanced 1865 battery production line, which is close to the dock. In addition, the township industrial park where it is located has a large amount of free land, which facilitates the expansion of the factory.
Following Ye Wuhen and Shen Rui were two German experts, twins and Bates brothers.
In Germany, Bates Materials Laboratory is quite famous. Bass Chemistry, Siemens, Bosch, and other old world-class companies are all Bates Laboratory's many years of partners.
Ye Wuhen went to Germany mysteriously to find the Bates brothers to identify the new material of graphite x. Now they are here in Bohai and are preparing to further participate in the new energy project of the Octopus Group.
After seeing the factory, dock and industrial park, Chen Rui invited the two old men to the table to listen to their opinions.
The Bates brothers are now in their sixties and know that they don’t have much lifespan. They are very excited about being able to participate in new energy projects that transform the world. According to the words of both of them, they have been doing materials science research for their lives. This is the closest opportunity for them to change the world. In any case, they want to leave their names on this promising project.
Since the Bates brothers are extremely keen on the Octopus Group's new energy project, the cooperation has been much smoother. They will fully accept the technical work of the battery factory and issue a military order to build a new lithium battery within three months as long as the ore arrives at the port.
The production process is like this. The largest berth No. 7 on the dock is dedicated to Octopus Group. After the ore arrives at the port, it is immediately sent to the storage warehouse through a conveyor belt. The warehouse is connected to the material workshop. The ore is screened, separated, and then entered the production line to assemble to manufacture the finished battery products.
After all these were negotiated, the Bates brothers looked at each other. The older brother Tiger Bates took out a finished product of 1865 battery without outer packaging and handed it to Chen Rui and Ye Wuhen.
"This is a 1865 battery sample we made in the lab using the graphite x you brought. Its total weight is 25 grams. According to the traceless requirements, it has a built-in logic circuit, a voltage of 12v, and a capacity of 5 amphibious."
12v, 5 am
Chen Rui opened his mouth wide in surprise. Currently, the most advanced 1865 battery in the world is made by Panasonic Japan. It has a voltage of 37 volts and a capacity of 1 amphibious. The 1865 battery prepared by Octopus Group has a performance of nearly 40 times higher than the most advanced Panasonic in the world.
1865 is the most common battery model at present, with a cylinder with a diameter of 18mm and a length of 65mm. After the Tesla electric car was disassembled, it actually has a 1865 battery inside. When the laptop was disassembled, it still has 1865 inside.
The new 1865 battery using graphite x only requires one, which can drive an electric bicycle to run forty or fifty kilometers. You should know that this battery weighs only 25 grams, and it is many times more advanced than the heavy lead battery used by electric bicycles nowadays.
Tesla electric vehicles use 7,000 1865 batteries, with a voltage of 37 volts and a capacity of 31 amperes. If it is replaced with graphite x model, where can I use as many as 7,000, and 140 are enough.
If the number of 7,000 batteries remains unchanged and all replaced with the new model of Octopus Group can make the world's fastest electric car reach a range of 20,000 kilometers.
What an amazing number is this
"In addition, according to our research, the charging speed of batteries using new materials will also be greatly improved. As long as the power supply is stable enough and the power is large enough, a set of batteries can be filled in one minute."
Swish ~
Chen Rui almost jumped out of the chair, and a car that could run 20,000 kilometers in one minute was charged. This was just like a science fiction movie. In comparison, those super sports cars were simply weak.
Ye Wuhen was not as surprised as Chen Rui. Perhaps he had already encountered the huge potential that Graphite x had.
Once this new battery is put into production, let alone cars and electric vehicles, even aircraft and ships will use electricity in the future. The pollution caused by petrochemical products in the whole world will change to a great extent.
Ye Wuhen was communicating with the Bates brothers with some technical things. Chen Rui had no intention of listening to those obscure professional terms and data. He took out his mobile phone and calculated the benefits that the battery factory would bring to him.
When using graphite x to make new batteries, the only upgrade is the materials, and the battery cost will not increase much, and each battery is about one dollar.
According to the current market conditions, even the wholesale price of secondary products produced by Samsung is 1.2 US dollars. As for the top models produced by Panasonic, the wholesale price exceeds six US dollars.
The performance of graphite x batteries is nearly forty times that of Panasonic's top models. Considering the battery penetration rate, selling a battery for 20 US dollars is simply cheap. The whole world will grab it, and the gross profit of a single battery in the factory will reach an astonishing $19.
According to the global annual sales of 85 million vehicles, the average car consumes 300 batteries. In other words, in the automobile industry alone, the total annual demand for 25.5 billion batteries is 19 US dollars, each battery has a gross profit of 19 US dollars.
484.5 billion US dollars in gross profit
Chen Rui couldn't believe the numbers on the calculator, 480 billion US dollars, this is just a project in the automobile industry. More than 2 billion mobile phones are sold every year, and 700 million computers of various models, motorcycles, electric bicycles, cameras, cameras, solar and wind power storage systems, ships, aircraft
Chen Rui couldn't calculate it in detail because the numbers were too big.
No wonder Ye Wuhen kept saying that the battery industry is a super business worth $2 trillion a year, and it seems to be true now.
Chen Rui was a little excited and couldn't help but touch the crossbody bag close to his chest. It was where the moon-chasing wall was located.
For a moment, his fingers felt a strange look.
