Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 158: Halfway to Success, Investing in the Future of King Ning

As Hu Jiangshan expected, Zeng Luqun still contacted Hezhong Group.

It was also specified that Hu Jiangshan must be present during the meeting and negotiation.

This is normal because it was Hu Jiangshan who whetted Zeng Luqun's appetite.

Zeng Luqun must be very curious about whether Hu Jiangshan has any information or not, and whether he has any solution to the problem of reduced battery life in winter.

Of course, Zeng Luqun would not be so naive as to think that this was a mature solution. After all, physical limitations are difficult to break through.

As long as there is a basic theory, it will be enough to alleviate this major problem and give R&D personnel hope.

Does Hu Jiangshan have it?

Of course there is.

Hu Jiangshan specialized in this field in his previous life. It can be said that he was the most powerful scientist in the entire Blue Planet in this field.

Hu Jiangshan has in-depth research on power batteries and solid-state batteries.

There are at least three ways to solve the problem of lithium ion crystallization in winter.

Hu Jiangshan can definitely help Ningte Times improve its technology, and the extent of the improvement will be significant.

Wang Lulu was very excited. After receiving the call, she called Hu Jiangshan immediately.

Wang Lulu said, "Mr. Hu, we have an appointment at ten o'clock in the morning. Is that okay?"

Hu Jiangshan looked at the time. It was not yet eight o'clock. He replied, "No problem. Let's do ten o'clock then."

Wang Lulu was very happy.

Hu Jiangshan got up, washed, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast.

At ten o'clock, Hu Jiangshan came to a reception room in the hotel.

Such a reception room in the hotel should be charged, but participants of the Triple Crown Business Forum can use it for free as long as they make an appointment in advance and arrange the time.

As soon as Hu Jiangshan came in, he saw that there were already quite a few people in the reception room.

Xing Limin, Hu Fanghe, and Wang Lulu were all there, and sitting opposite them were a few people from the Ningte era.

In addition to Zeng Luqun, Hu Jiangshan recognized another person.

This person's name is Fang Bangrong. He is the chief scientist of Ningte Times and a big name in the field of power batteries.

Hu Jiangshan had dealt with Fang Bangrong a lot in his previous life and recognized his skills.

Of course, this was 2018, and Fang Bangrong was not yet that awesome, at least not that famous.

Zeng Luqun saw Hu Jiangshan coming in and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, I've been waiting for you."

Hu Jiangshan nodded, greeted the other party, and sat down.

Xing Liming smiled and exchanged a few words with Hu Jiangshan in a low voice. His attitude couldn't be any better.

Xing Liming knew very well that without Hu Jiangshan's mediation, he would not be able to meet and negotiate with Ningte Times, after all, the other party was a hot high-tech company.

Hu Fanghe's mood was also complicated.

The behavior of Hu Jiangshan's relative was so surprising.

Originally, Hu Fanghe thought that Hu Jiangshan was just here to make a cameo appearance and leave, but he didn't expect that he would play a much bigger role than he imagined, and even became the main force of the team.

Not to mention that Hu Jiangshan also knows some bigwigs, and his status can be said to be very transcendent.

Xing Limin said: "Mr. Zeng, can we get started?"

Zeng Luqun said: "By the way, before we start, can I ask Mr. Hu a few questions?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Okay, Mr. Zeng, what's your question?"

"Can you get the photoresist that Huaxin International needs?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and replied: "Yes, of course. The samples we sent over have passed the test, and we will soon discuss cooperation with Huaxin International."

When these words were spoken, everyone else was confused.

How is it related to Huaxin International?
Also, what is photoresist?
Quanzhong Group was full of questions, but they couldn't ask in this situation and could only keep it to themselves.

Zeng Luqun quickly asked: "Mr. Hu, is there really a way you mentioned yesterday to improve the battery's winter endurance?"

"Mr. Zeng, yes, there is. If our cooperation goes well, I can provide it for your reference. Although it may not completely solve the problem of winter battery life, it will be a great improvement."

Zeng Luqun and Fang Bangrong looked at each other and both felt that what Hu Jiangshan said was very reliable.

If Hu Jiangshan says that he can completely solve the problem of short battery life in winter, then he is just bragging.

After all, current power batteries contain electrolytes, and it is impossible to completely avoid the problem of reduced lithium ion activity in cold environments.

Only solid-state batteries can solve this problem.

But Zeng Luqun also understood the meaning of Hu Jiangshan's words.

If our cooperation goes well

Hu Jiangshan is a werewolf who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

Zeng Luqun said: "Although we are discussing cooperation, I also hope to have a clear idea in mind, especially in terms of the improvement of power battery technology. I wonder if Mr. Hu can reveal some content, or you can ask your technicians to come over and we can communicate face to face."

Xing Limin said quickly: "Mr. Zeng, I heard that you will leave Sanguan City this afternoon?"

Zeng Luqun smiled and replied: "That's easy to say. I do have some things to deal with, but if it is really necessary, I can cancel the trip."

After saying that, Zeng Luqun looked at Hu Jiangshan again.

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll talk to Manager Fang first."

"...Manager Fang?"

"Fang Bangrong is the technical director, isn't he?"

Zeng Luqun and Fang Bangrong were both stunned.

Zeng Luqun didn't give Hu Jiangshan

Fang Bangrong couldn't help asking, "Do you know me?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Of course I know him. Director Fang is the chief scientist of Ningte Times. I can discuss technical issues with you."

Zeng Luqun looked at Hu Jiangshan a few more times.

This young man is really a hidden talent. He even knows the chief scientist of Yute Technology.

Zeng Luqun turned his head and whispered to Fang Bangrong: "Then you should go and talk to Mr. Hu and listen to what he has to say."

Fang Bangrong nodded, then stood up and walked out of the reception room with Hu Jiangshan.

Xing Liming was a little uneasy, not knowing what Hu Jiangshan would say to the other party's technical director.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for the two of them to have anything in common.

At this time, Zeng Luqun said to Xing Limin: "By the way, Mr. Hu is really a handsome man."

What could Xing Liming say? He could only nod his head.

After a moment, the door to the reception room opened.

Hu Jiangshan and Fang Bangrong came in and sat back down.

Fang Bangrong's expression was obviously absent-minded, and he didn't know what Hu Jiangshan said.

Zeng Luqun glanced at Fang Bangrong, who then came back to his senses and whispered something to Zeng Lujun.

Zeng Luqun showed a surprised look on his face: "...Really? Is it reliable?"

Fang Bangrong nodded: "I think it's very reliable, I really can give it a try."

Zeng Luqun coughed lightly, recovered himself, and said, "Boss Xing, Mr. Hu, then we can have a good talk."

Hu Jiangshan quickly said, "You guys talk, I won't get involved from now on."

Zeng Luqun showed a surprised expression.

"Mr. Zeng, I don't actually work for the Hezhong Group, so I really can't say anything about this. I'll leave first. You can contact me for technical matters."

Zeng Luqun then remembered that Li Changxi had indeed said yesterday that Hu Jiangshan did not work at Hezhong Group and that he was an unemployed vagrant.

Unexpectedly, Hu Jiangshan admitted it himself.

Of course, this will not lower the impression of Hu Jiangshan in Zeng Luqun's mind. On the contrary, he will feel that the other party is very honest and pragmatic.

Hu Jiangshan walked out of the reception room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Jiangshan just had a brief exchange with Fang Bangrong and stunned him. This was normal, after all, Hu Jiangshan's technical ability and knowledge reserves were far better than Fang Bangrong's current ones.

Now that the effect has finally been achieved, Hu Jiangshan can let go and let Xing Liming and the others negotiate.

It would be best if we could reach an agreement.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care if the talks failed, as he had done everything he could anyway.

Hu Jiangshan came to the hotel lobby again, thinking about where to go to relax and unwind.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan saw his old acquaintance Li Changxi.

Li Changxi doesn't make a big fuss when he goes out. He has a grand manner but doesn't attract attention. He knows how to stop when necessary.

This is what smart people do.

Li Changxi walked in front, followed by a bodyguard and a girl.

The girl was very beautiful, tall and thin with a good figure, and no one knew who she was.

Li Changxi had already seen Hu Jiangshan and was coming towards him.

Li Changxi walked closer and smiled slightly: "Hu Jiangshan, I heard that you want to negotiate with Ningte Times? Do you want to invest in Ningte Times?"

Hu Jiangshan said: "Yes, Mr. Li, you are well-informed. I admire you."

"Of course I know. I advise you to give up on this idea. Mr. Zeng is leaving today. He is a very busy man."

Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, we are talking now."

"Ah? You guys are talking? Who are you talking to?"

"It's the Ningte era."

Li Changxi's expression changed, but then he laughed again: "What a joke! You are negotiating, what are you doing?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, don't you know me? I am just an idler. I don't care about the negotiations. Mr. Xing and the others will take care of it."

"What? You mean they are really negotiating with Ningte Times?"

"Yes, that's right."

Li Changxi's expression kept changing.

It changes from green to blue, from blue to purple, and finally becomes like a long eggplant.

Obviously, Li Changxi didn't expect that Bit Era was actually negotiating with various groups.

Li Changxi came back to his senses: "No, what capital do you have to negotiate with Ningte Times? In terms of strength, you are not even ranked!"

"You don't have to worry about that. It depends on CATL's decision as to whose investment to accept. I still say that everything is possible."

"Stop dreaming!"

Hu Jiangshan just wanted to tease Li Changxi and hit his inflated self-confidence.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Hu Jiangshan was about to leave when he heard someone calling his name.

It turned out to be Wang Lulu jogging over.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xing wants to see you."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Ah? You want me to go there? What for? I'm not good at negotiation."

Wang Lulu immediately said, "You don't need to negotiate. We are going to sign a draft right away. Mr. Zeng said it would be best if you were present."

"……draft?"

Hu Jiangshan looked doubtful. They had only been discussing for such a short time and now they were going to sign the draft?

Li Changxi's eyes widened. "What nonsense are you talking about? Ningte Times agreed to your investment? Stop lying! Do you think this is fun?"

Wang Lulu looked at Li Changxi and said nothing.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Okay, let's go over there quickly."

Looking at the backs of Hu Jiangshan and Wang Lulu leaving, Li Changxi's mental state was quite bad.

What the hell? What are you doing?
Sign the draft now!
This is nonsense!
Li Changxi said that he didn't believe it, but he was actually already panicking.

Looking at Wang Lulu's expression, she didn't seem to be joking, and it seemed that there was no need for that woman to joke.

Li Changxi calmed down and immediately thought that he must find out what exactly they signed.
At the same time, Hu Jiangshan followed Wang Lulu to the reception room, where he saw Zeng Luqun chatting and laughing with Xing Liming, and they seemed very close.

So realistic, it seems that both sides had a good discussion.

Seeing Hu Jiangshan coming in, Zeng Luqun said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry to call you back again."

Hu Jiangshan said, "Mr. Zeng, didn't I tell you? Just call me Xiao Hu."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Hu, we have reached a preliminary plan. It's not mature yet, but we can talk about it slowly. Anyway, such a large investment case cannot be negotiated in a short time, but I believe we will reach an agreement."

Hu Jiangshan nodded, and looking at Xing Liming's expression, he felt that this matter might really be a sure thing.

Zeng Luqun said, "Xiao Hu, since we have come to this point, I will not hide anything. I would like to invite you to our headquarters to guide our scientific research work. Is that okay?"

Hu Jiangshan said quickly: "Mr. Zeng, guidance is serious. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. I will try my best to arrange time."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Zeng Luqun was obviously very satisfied with Hu Jiangshan's attitude and even gave him a thumbs up.

"Xiao Hu is indeed the descendant of Hu Yingxiang. He is so capable!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiangshan felt a little embarrassed.

But it doesn’t matter, Hu Jiangshan is indeed no different now than before.

In this way, the investment draft between Hezhong Group and Ningte Times was quickly signed.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the investment amount and was shocked.

I didn't expect that Hezhong Group could come up with so much money at once. Its strength is undoubtedly very strong.

If this money is invested, then five years later, no, it should be three years later, Ningte Times will become the "King of Ning", and Hezhong Group, as one of the investors, will also make huge profits.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly realized that he had invisibly negotiated a big deal for Hezhong Group.

This is still a small matter. What is more important is that it has determined the future development direction for Hezhong Group.

This is amazing.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

Zeng Luqun was indeed very busy. After chatting for a few minutes, he immediately went back to his room to pack up.

In the afternoon, they will leave Three Crowns City.

Before leaving, Zeng Luqun and Hu Jiangshan added each other's contact information and said they wanted to keep in touch.

Hu Fanghe saw this and gained a new understanding of Hu Jiangshan's strength.

This is not a playboy or a prodigal son, he is simply the backbone of the society.

Xing Limin was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

With Hu Jiangshan's support, there is no need to worry about Ningte era changing its mind midway.

Xing Liming's trip has made a great contribution to the group.

Xing Limin said, "I have to report this to the headquarters right away. This good news must be made known to... President Hu as soon as possible."

After saying that, Xing Liming left happily.

Now only Wang Lulu and Hu Jiangshan are left.

Hu Jiangshan said, "By the way, I know there is a good restaurant in the city with unique characteristics. Do you want to go and try it together?"

"Okay."

After these things happened, Wang Lulu had completely let down her guard against Hu Jiangshan, and even had a little admiration for him, so she was naturally very obedient.

Wang Lulu asked: "By the way, Mr. Hu, do you come to San Guan often? It seems like you are very familiar with this place."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "I've been here a few times with my friends. I can't say I'm very familiar with the place, but it's okay."

Hu Jiangshan took Wang Lulu in a taxi, then went to an old restaurant in the city and had a meal of special delicacies.

In the evening, the two returned to the hotel.

At Hu Jiangshan's invitation, Wang Lulu went to his room to drink coffee and left quietly the next morning.
