Spend Money to Play the World

"Oh." Lin Shuang was choked for a moment, and then said again: "Then when are you going back to Rongcheng? I haven't seen you for a while."

"You will definitely come back before the new year, why, miss me?" Chen Fang teased.

"No." Lin Shuang blushed, and quickly denied it, then thought of something, and couldn't help but say leisurely: "Someone kept saying that he wanted to soak me, but he didn't take any action, alas, no. You know what to do."

Chen Fang couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so weird here. When I wanted to soak you in the past, where did you go? Now, honestly work for me, and when the uncle is happy, I'll take care of you."

Lin Shuang said angrily, "I know."

...

When Lin Shuang and Chen Fang were on the phone, the heads of the major manufacturers of traditional lithium-ion batteries quietly gathered together and held a meeting.

In the past, no one liked anyone, and they wished that the other party would die, immediately go bankrupt, and go bankrupt. After all, they were together.

However, goodbye now, the heads and bosses of major traditional battery companies are no longer hostile when they look at each other, but have the same kind of sympathy.

"Mr. Yang, it was my fault in the past, please bear with me."

"Mr. Wang, the year before last, because I heard the villain's slander, I said some very outrageous things to you. I want to apologize to you here, and I hope you can forgive me."

"Mr. Wei, we haven't seen each other for four or five years. We must get close and close this time."

"..."

All the bosses and persons in charge, all with smiles on their faces, greeted each other and greeted each other, just like the scene when long-lost brothers reunited.

As one of them, Wei Zhendong was sitting on the chair in the conference room, his whole face was expressionless, watching all this with a cold eye.

The company under Wei Zhendong is called Tianshun Power, which mainly deals in lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and some renewable resource products, of which lithium-ion batteries are the main business.

Originally, the company was already listed, and its market value rose steadily.

As a result, because of the birth of lithium-air batteries, the stock price of the entire lithium-ion battery industry plummeted.

This made some colleagues who wanted to strangle each other to kill each other actually sat together and talked kindly.

This kind of group heating is not impossible, but Wei Zhendong feels that this incident is relatively big and subverts the entire battery industry. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by group heating.

However, as a member of the traditional lithium-ion battery industry, Wei Zhendong's company is not small, ranking in the top five in the country, which is a well-known task in this industry.

Nowadays, the big brother in the industry, Ningde era, convenes people to hold parties, and everyone else has come, so he can't make a special one.

Now these people chatted with each other for a while, Zeng Boyang, chairman of CATL, entered the conference room and started today's industry dialogue.

Zeng Boyang said: "I'm very glad that all my colleagues came here to participate in the meeting after receiving my invitation. I think the theme of today's meeting, even if I don't say it, everyone should know.

Let me first talk about the changes in our Ningde era.

Since Galaxy Battery Company released lithium-air batteries in September last year and installed them on Changan Yuedong EV, our company's stock price has been falling.

After someone shouted that lithium-ion batteries were dead, more than 90% of investment institutions and investors chose not to hold our stocks because they were worried about our future.

Therefore, as of now, the stock price of CATL has fallen by more than 80%, and the market value has evaporated by more than 600 billion RMB.

This is data that everyone can find as long as they can access the Internet. Alas, it is really worrying. "

Just three or four months ago, CATL was still a leading company in the domestic and even the world's power battery industry, with a market value exceeding 700 billion RMB, and because new energy is a trend, the stock price is still rising, and it has broken through the trillion mark. , the trend of becoming a giant in the battery industry.

However, the good times don't last long, and the joy begets sadness.

Since the launch of lithium-air batteries by Galaxy Battery in September last year, the advantages of lithium-ion batteries have disappeared. Countless investors began to panic and sold their stocks collectively.

That is to say, no one thought about shorting the Ningde era at the beginning, otherwise, they might be able to make a fortune.

Zeng Boyang's words resonated with dozens of battery company leaders and CEOs at the scene.

"Don't mention it, my company is also like this, and it's going to be delisted."

"Who said it wasn't, since the introduction of lithium-air batteries, the stock price of our company is like taking a laxative. "

"I had people sort out the data before and found that from September last year to the present, in just three or four months, the market value of the global lithium-ion battery industry has evaporated by more than 1.2 trillion yuan, not only we have fallen, but the rest of the world is also falling. ."

"His uncle, the lithium-air battery is a hot chicken thing, it should not appear in this era!"

"Yes, the emergence of lithium-air batteries has completely disrupted the entire market, it is a cancer!"

This is how capitalists are. Once their own interests are damaged, they don’t care about whether the technology is beneficial to the progress of the world or not, and no matter what kind of well-being this technology will bring to the public, in their hearts, they will be resolute. Disgust and resist such techniques.

However, if such technology is researched by them, then their attitude will be completely reversed.

Of course, not only capitalists, but also ordinary people are the same, which belongs to the selfish side of human nature.

Zeng Boyang continued: "Actually, the fall in market value is only secondary, because that's not our money, it's investors' money.

The drop in market value just means that investors have lost confidence in us, it does not mean that we have completely fallen.

However, the emergence of lithium-air batteries not only makes investors lose confidence in us, but also makes our customers lose confidence in us.

This is the most crucial point. "

Zeng Boyang said solemnly: "Because customers are no longer optimistic about the prospect of lithium-ion batteries, the number of orders they place with us has dropped significantly.

Even some customers would rather cancel their previous orders even if they lose money, and turn to lithium-air batteries instead.

And say something that everyone knows, but doesn't want to admit.

Although everyone is very unhappy with the technology of lithium-air batteries, and curses this technology to disappear completely in their hearts, hoping that it has never appeared, but the technical level of lithium-air batteries is indeed far better than that of lithium-ion batteries.

In front of lithium-air batteries, lithium-ion batteries are really not even suitable for shoes. "

The place was silent.

Although I scolded the lithium-air battery as a tumor just now, everyone knew in their hearts that it was not a tumor, it was a big treasure.

Zeng Boyang added: "I don't want to hurt everyone's confidence when I say this, but I want to tell everyone that not only the Ningde era, but also the companies behind everyone present, all of us have reached the point of life and death.

In the future, we can no longer rest on our laurels and continue to die in the lithium-ion battery.

We have to change, and only when we change can we have a chance to live.

If it doesn't change, it can only go to extinction! "
