Chapter 435 Money ! Money ! Money !
In the heart of the bustling tropolis of Huahai City, there existed a high-end restaurant that exuded an aura of opulence and exclusivity. This establishnt was where our story unfolds, within the confines of a private dining room where the city's most influential figures had gathered.
Seated comfortably within this enclave were Liu Yong, Qiu Yang, and Huang Guang, accompanied by a trio from Hongguang Automobile. Among them was Su Liyan, whose enthusiasm for the evening was palpable. "Mr. Liu," he declared with a generous smile, "tonight, I insist on being the host, and no one shall vie for that honor."
Liu Yong, a man of affable disposition, returned the gesture with a hearty grin. "Thank you, Chairman Su," he acknowledged graciously.
As the evening progressed with polite exchanges, Su Liyan voiced a particular request: "Mr. Liu, if it's not too much trouble, I would like to visit the Universal Scientific Research Center after our al."
Liu Yong's response was equally polite yet tinged with regret. "The Global Scientific Research Center, I must clarify, currently occupies leased office space. Our new research center remains under construction. However, once it's operational, you are most welco to lead a team for a visit."
Su Liyan's enthusiasm was montarily dampened by this response. Having made the proactive journey to visit, he had harbored a fervent desire to explore the Universal Scientific Research Center. Yet, Liu Yong's courteous but firm refusal left him sowhat disheartened.
The party had arrived in Huahai City the previous evening and embarked on a visit to the Universal Enterprise Group the following morning, where Liu Yong himself had received them. After a comprehensive morning of discussions, Su Liyan had acquired a preliminary understanding of the graphene-aluminum batteries—a subject that had filled him with excitent and a burning curiosity, fanning his desire to explore the Global Research Center.
Yet, despite these initial setbacks, Su Liyan's spirits soon rebounded. Liu Yong, sensing Su Liyan's unfulfilled wish, offered an alternative. "While visiting the Universal Research Center may not be feasible at the mont," he began, "I can arrange for you to receive so battery samples."
Su Liyan's eyes lit up with delight. "Mr. Liu," he exclaid joyously, "that's exceedingly gracious of you. I am imnsely grateful."
He proceeded to express his gratitude repeatedly, the words flowing freely from his heart. With a subtle nod from Liu Yong, Huang Guang personally presented Su Liyan with a handful of battery samples that he had ticulously prepared and brought along.
Each battery, resembling a petite rectangular brick, weighed approximately 1 kilogram. In Su Liyan's eyes, however, these were no ordinary batteries; they were treasures of imasurable value. His fascination with them grew with each passing mont, a sentint he could scarcely contain.
In Su Liyan's view, these batteries were not just power sources but rather the embodint of limitless possibilities. After a thorough examination, he carefully returned the battery to its designated bag. "Mr. Liu," he said with genuine emotion, "this is undoubtedly the most extraordinary gift I have ever received."
With the exchange of gifts concluded, the al progressed with dishes arriving in a steady procession. Su Liyan, raising his wine glass, offered a courteous toast to Liu Yong. The atmosphere at the table brimd with warmth, and the al continued for approximately two hours. Post-dinner, Su Liyan and his entourage returned to their hotel, preparing for their afternoon flight.
Back at Hongguang Automobile Group's headquarters, Su Liyan wasted no ti in delivering the precious batteries to the chief scientist of the new energy vehicle division, requesting an urgent evaluation.
The results of the testing were nothing short of astonishing and sent shockwaves through Hongguang Automobile's senior managent. The graphene-aluminum batteries not only demonstrated a charging speed one hundred tis faster than traditional lithium batteries but also boasted an astonishing energy density of 2000 watt-hours per kilogram.
The implications of this revelation were profound, as Su Liyan and the rest of the senior managent were acutely aware. This breakthrough would fundantally reshape the entire automotive industry.
In response, an ergency high-level eting was convened, and Su Liyan took the floor. "Ladies and gentlen," he began, "our findings have been confird. Universal Enterprise Group has successfully developed a graphene-aluminum battery with an astonishing energy density of 2000 watt-hours per kilogram. During my discussions with Mr. Liu, he made it clear that mass production is imminent."
The news ignited a fervor in the eting room, with exclamations of awe and determination filling the air. Plans to secure these groundbreaking batteries began to take shape.
"This is a ga-changer! We must seize this opportunity!"
"I propose we place our order imdiately and beco the first to embrace this technology."
Su Liyan watched the room's reaction with satisfaction, his resolve unwavering. After a few minutes, he called for order. "Ladies and gentlen, let us first maintain our composure."
As the room settled into silence, all eyes remained fixed on Su Liyan, eager to hear his next words. Su Liyan announced decisively, "I have resolved to gather funds swiftly, even exploring the possibility of securing loans. Our goal is to place a substantial order for these batteries."
The decision was t with unanimous agreent. The montum to raise funds was initiated imdiately, with the added impetus to comnce designs for incorporating these batteries into all future vehicles produced by Hongguang Automobile Group.
With the eting adjourned, the senior managent team sprang into action. The singular focus was on raising the necessary funds, with an eye on becoming the first to place an order. Su Liyan was determined to seize the opportunity without hesitation.
Just two days later, Su Liyan returned to Universal Enterprise Group, accompanied by a formidable delegation. After hours of negotiation, Hongguang Automobile Group placed a staggering order worth 32 billion yuan, securing their position as a pioneering player in this groundbreaking technology.
32 billion yuan—a sum that bespoke their unwavering resolve and financial clout. Su Liyan had demonstrated exceptional courage and ambition.
Having seen Su Liyan's audacious move, Wei Desheng, President of Geely Automobile Group, was taken aback. He had been cautiously observing the developnt of graphene-aluminum batteries from a distance, never expecting that Hongguang Automobile's Su Liyan would take such bold action, placing an order worth 32 billion yuan.
Recovering from the initial shock, Wei Desheng imdiately issued a directive. "Book a flight to Universal Enterprise Group imdiately," he instructed, a note of urgency in his voice.
"Understood, we'll make the arrangents," his subordinate responded promptly.
Wei Desheng then turned to the vice president in charge of finance. "Determine the maximum funds we can access," he urged.
The vice president, well-versed in the company's financial standing, replied promptly, "Mr. President, we can secure up to 20 billion yuan."
Wei Desheng's determination was unwavering. "That won't suffice. We must outdo Hongguang Enterprise Group. Find a way to raise more than 35 billion yuan."
And so, Geely Auto embarked on its own campaign to secure funds, emulating Hongguang Automobile's strategy of raising funds with an unwavering determination to lead the race. In a
matter of days, they too would enter the elite circle of graphene-aluminum battery pioneers.
