I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

For work convenience, Ye Feng also moved to a large apartment in the city center.

The house was already furnished, but Miaomiao had just given birth, so we hadn't moved in yet.

But later, Miaomiao went back to her hometown, and since this place was close to the company, Ye Feng moved here as well.

And just then, Aunt Zhao came over and greeted Ye Feng.

Miaomiao came directly here this time. This is the first time she has come to the house since it was renovated, and she was pleasantly surprised to see it.

She especially loved the thick carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that she had initially requested!

Xixi is very lively now, so you can just put her on a thick blanket without worrying about her falling. You just need to watch her to make sure she doesn't climb out.

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed to see Miaomiao return, especially Xixi, who wasn't shy at all and kept babbling when she saw Aunt Zhao, which made Aunt Zhao very happy, and she quickly picked her up.

After all, she had been helping to take care of him since he was born, and it was quite nice not to see him for the past two months.

After a lively time, it got dark, and Aunt Zhao came over and took Xixi away, leaving space for the young couple.

After all, it's been two months since we last met, and she's young. Miaomiao has recovered her health, so doesn't she understand?

The two returned to their room, and there was no awkwardness from not seeing each other for two months. They immediately became passionate!

......

"We've been discussing this for so long. Although this battery factory has the only technology for gaseous lithium batteries, and it's not even in production yet, the quality of the products coming out of the lab is truly exceptional. Let's take a gamble!"

He and Lu Chengyu discussed it for a long time, but they really couldn't make up their minds because the technology was still some time away from being realized.

However, Ye Feng really thought highly of it.

This gaseous lithium battery is truly the best choice for power batteries!

Lightweight, highly safe, and most importantly, it won't catch fire or explode.

The key thing is that the charging speed is really fast, even faster than refueling!

However, this technology is still in the laboratory and has not been put into commercial use. No one knows exactly when it will be commercially available.

"That's the only option, but it's a bit expensive—five hundred million for twenty percent of the shares!"

"It's worth it. Their research team is really amazing to have come up with such technology. I have high hopes for their future."

"Okay! I'll go talk to their founding team then. But there's still one problem: none of their founding team members know how to run a business. That's a problem!"

The founding team members of the other party all have doctoral degrees, and not just any doctoral degree, but doctoral degrees from top universities!

"You should discuss this with them and see if you want to find someone to run it. But we should only mention it briefly, so they don't think we're trying to take over their company."

"I understand, I'll be careful."

Finally, the decision was made. Five hundred million! Such a huge investment! Lu Chengyu didn't dare to make the decision on his own and discussed it with Ye Feng for a long time.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take responsibility. If he really thought highly of him, he wouldn't have discussed it with Ye Feng; he would have tried his best to persuade Ye Feng.

He just couldn't make up his mind and wanted Ye Feng to give him some advice.

"By the way, see if any of our previous investments can help them. If this thing can actually be mass-produced, the company's valuation will explode."

Not only Ye Feng understood, but Lu Chengyu was also secretly celebrating. If this technology were to be successfully developed, the company's valuation would truly explode.

Moreover, their company's lithium batteries are quite good now. Otherwise, why would the company have such a high valuation? Is it just because of those gaseous lithium batteries that may not be available on the market for who knows when?

"Mr. Ye, I have an idea..."

Lu Chengyu had actually been considering it for a while, but since they were an investment company, they were a little undecided.

However, he felt that if it could really be done, it could truly nurture a behemoth company!

"Okay, go ahead."

Lu Chengyu was somewhat excited.

"Mr. Ye, think about it. Right now, the new energy vehicle market is all about the three core components: battery, motor, and electronic control. If gaseous lithium batteries can really be commercialized, that's our trump card!"

"We've already invested in gaseous lithium batteries and hold a 20% market share, giving us a first-mover advantage. We just need to acquire a motor supplier, and then add Huawei's electronic control system, and we'll have all the core components. We can totally produce our own cars!"

Ye Feng frowned slightly and rubbed his chin.

This idea is really bold, even a bit risky, but it's actually a really good idea.

However, all of this is based on gaseous lithium batteries.

Ye Feng took out the technical report on the gaseous lithium battery and read it again.

Judging from the size of the car's battery pack, the range can reach 800 kilometers, and it can be fully charged in five minutes. These figures really leave other new energy vehicles on the market far behind!

But manufacturing a complete vehicle is no joke. Production lines, factories, manufacturing qualifications, sales channels—all of these require money.

However, Lu Chengyu had already made plans.

"We'll find a contract manufacturer to work with first for the qualifications. I've checked, and many new energy vehicle companies are doing contract manufacturing first, and then building their own factories once they reach a certain scale. As for funding, we've invested 500 million yuan in the battery factory. As for the company, as long as it's not too big, even if we acquire it for 1 billion yuan at most, we can come up with that money ourselves without taking out a loan."

"And then there's Huawei, they're also building an ecosystem for in-vehicle infotainment systems. If we were to discuss cooperation, it would be entirely possible with our current technology!"

"Hmm... Huawei is currently collaborating with a car company, the one called Wenjie. Their cars are selling quite well. If we cooperate directly with them, they have an automotive procurement chain, which would save us a lot of trouble."

"That's a good option too, let's bring in a qualified car manufacturer!"

Lu Chengyu became more and more excited as he spoke; after all, this was a car company!

Ye Feng remained silent for a moment, his mind racing with calculations.

He agrees with Lu Chengyu's approach; a closed-loop industrial chain is the key to success.

"Is it possible for Huawei to agree to a first-come, first-served deal? Their electronic control technology is top-notch in the industry, and they're always cautious. We have absolutely no experience in car manufacturing. Would they be willing to take on that role?"

"There's hope. I've been in contact with people from Huawei before, and they're actually very willing to cooperate. But the most important thing right now is when will they be able to produce the gaseous lithium battery? After all, we don't have any leverage right now, so even if we go to negotiate, we won't get favorable terms."

"But we only own 20% of the battery company right now. We can't just stop them from selling it to someone else, can we?"

"We can totally bring the battery companies along. We can give them some shares. Plus, everyone else is trying to lower their valuations, but we're the only ones who aren't directly trying to lower their valuations. Instead, we're talking about technology. They're actually really looking forward to us joining. I think if we talk to them about it, they should be able to agree."

This was Ye Feng's initial plan: when dealing with these tech-savvy individuals, don't start by talking about money or trying to lower the price; ask about their technical skills first. And sure enough, this left a very good impression on them.
