Chapter 98: Be the First to Rebel
"During this period of time, I have fully experienced what it means to be in great demand.

These new energy vehicle companies are much more enthusiastic than photovoltaic companies. They all speak nicely and come to me with all kinds of promises to cooperate. I am almost annoyed to death." Chen Yuanguang looked hopeless.

In just this week, he has met the founders of four new energy vehicle companies, which is very rare for a socially anxious person like him.

Lin Jia said: "Isn't this great?

Being popular and being sought after is a good thing, just treat it with a normal mind.

Do these companies have different ideas about the application areas of perovskite batteries? "

Chen Yuanguang thought about it and said: "Most new energy vehicle companies have similar ideas, treating perovskite as an optional item for new energy vehicles. You can choose to install perovskite batteries by adding tens of thousands of yuan.

Then its role is just to supplement lithium batteries. Only Xiaomi wants to use perovskite batteries to turn cars into a constant temperature space. "

Lin Jia said: "If consumers approve of Xiaomi's approach and sales are good, other new energy vehicle companies will soon follow suit."

She did not discuss the topic any further, "Because of the heated discussion about perovskite batteries, Chen Jing'an and Duan Zhizhong both wanted to come to the company for research.

They are all interested in the economic benefits that this generation of perovskite cells can generate.

Duan Zhizhong in particular meant that if we wanted to run the business ourselves and mass-produce perovskite batteries, Hefei would be willing to provide funding, venues, help contact workers, and so on.

As long as we put the production in Hefei."

Local governments have been working hard to introduce industries and solve employment problems. Especially in the current economic downturn, foreign investment has gradually decreased, and it is not easy to boost local employment.

"Tell them that we have no plans to produce by ourselves, we are more of a technology provider," said Chen Yuanguang.

When it comes to production, especially industrial products like perovskite batteries that require large-scale production, a large amount of management costs will be added out of thin air, and the difficulty of management will increase.

Chen Yuanguang didn't want to personally engage in this kind of manufacturing industry that required competing for production capacity.

"If Hefei wants to introduce relevant production lines, it can talk to our partners, and we can introduce manufacturers such as Longi and Jinko to them," Chen Yuanguang continued.

Lin Jia and Chen Yuanguang agreed that neither Chen Yuanguang nor she had sufficient capabilities to manage this kind of large-scale manufacturing industry.

This involves too many aspects. They don't have talent reserves. Unlike R&D-based companies, if you start from scratch in manufacturing, the management costs will be particularly high.

"In fact, I can fully understand the local government's thinking. For them, manufacturing can drive the development of upstream and downstream enterprises, including surrounding supporting facilities.

As we have studied before, the ratio for Foxconn is one to three. Foxconn factory has 10,000 employees, and their upstream and downstream supply chains and supporting living facilities provide 30,000 jobs, and the number of households affected is also about the same.

The automotive industry has even more, with a ratio of 1 to 5. A car factory with 1 employees will create 5 times as many other jobs, which is equivalent to a total of 6 jobs.

I don’t know the specific situation of the photovoltaic industry, but I guess it won’t be much worse than this.

It doesn't matter to Pengcheng, because they don't lack job opportunities, they don't need large-scale manufacturing, they want to go the high-tech route. But it's very important to Hefei, 10 billion in profit is not as valuable as investing 10 billion to build a factory there.

However, I agree with your point of view. It is not suitable for us to start manufacturing directly now. It is still so difficult. Our current management team does not have the ability to increase the production capacity of the manufacturing industry.

Our best approach right now is still technology licensing.”

JinkoSolar acted the fastest and surrendered first.

Originally, these photovoltaic manufacturers wanted to work together to lower prices privately. They felt that it was too expensive to pay an 8% technology tax to Guangjia Technology for every perovskite battery module produced.

The photovoltaic manufacturers led by Longi Green Energy are unwilling to pay, or they don’t want to pay so much.

The more advanced the company is, the more explosive its production capacity will be, and the higher the patent tax it needs to pay.

For small and medium-sized manufacturers, it is also beneficial for them to follow the big brothers and try to reduce patent licensing fees.

Who knew that JinkoSolar would be the first to rebel.

After two months of technical verification, the preparation method was proven to be correct. After JinkoSolar built a small production line and confirmed that the technical principle was correct, it took the lead in signing a contract with Guangjia Aerospace.

Of course, Li Haide did a lot of work in this. As a former senior executive of JinkoSolar, he persuaded the top management of JinkoSolar to compromise first.

JinkoSolar ranks second in the photovoltaic industry, second only to Longi. Although the gap between the second and the first is a bit big, it is still second after all.

Guangjia Aerospace and JinkoSolar held a grand signing ceremony at the Guangjia Aerospace headquarters, which was a huge investment.

"Dr. Chen, I would like to ask you, as a giant company dedicated to the commercial aerospace field, how did Guangjia Aerospace come up with the idea of ​​making solar cells and achieve a breakthrough?

Does it mean that the future goal of Guangjia Aerospace will change, and it will gradually turn to a research and development enterprise, deviating from its original aerospace attributes? "The reporter asked.

There are many points that can be promoted in this matter itself, and Chen Yuanguang personally attended the signing ceremony and the subsequent press conference, so a large number of reporters and media professionals came to the scene.

The entire venue was full. Chen Yuanguang tapped the microphone. He had gradually become familiar with this kind of situation. At the beginning, he was nervous when speaking to several employees, but now he just ignored the audience when they were full.

“Because we are not listed and do not have many channels for public disclosure of information, people may not know much about what Guangjia Aerospace has done this year and our entire path.

First of all, our main business has always been aerospace. The breakthrough of perovskite batteries is only a product of the research and development of aerospace technology. We need to monetize these products to provide financial support for the operation and research and development of Guangjia Aerospace.

Just now you mentioned whether we would deviate from the main line. I would like to say that we cooperated with SpaceX this year and launched a total of 12 Falcon 9 rockets, which cost a total of US$2.5 million.

We have also made some progress and accumulated some data. We will also make reusable rockets ourselves. Our first medium-sized reusable rocket will be launched at the end of this year.

Guangjia Aerospace has always been focusing on aerospace as its main business. This reporter reminded me very well that although we are not listed, we should still do more publicity to the outside world to publicize what we have done and what we want to do.

Then there are perovskite batteries. Solar cells have always been very common components in the aerospace field, and many satellites use solar panels to power them.

However, traditional crystalline silicon solar cells have limited photoelectric conversion efficiency and require a strong light environment, which actually has problems.

As for Guangjia Aerospace, our research and development of perovskite batteries will still focus on satellites and subsequent spacecraft that we plan to launch.

Our satellites will use perovskite batteries to achieve higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and will be able to carry more powerful chips and more antennas.

All of this requires the help of more powerful solar cells.

American is doing the same thing, and their laboratory receives large budgets from the Department of Energy and NASA every year.

Perovskite is one of the technological breakthrough directions.”

It is indeed as Chen Yuanguang said, Guangjia Aerospace has done a lot of things, and has burned more than 20 million US dollars out of the 5 billion US dollars.

The SpaceX rocket launch cost 2.5 million yuan, and then the purchase of space probes and satellites cost about 1 million yuan. The China Compound Eye project has been officially approved. Guangjia Aerospace provided 10 billion yuan and China provided 10 billion yuan. The unit is RMB.

Including employee salaries, all other expenses added up, almost 5 million yuan was burned.

Of course, Chen Yuanguang himself felt that the rate of burning money was too slow.

Once they complete the design of their reusable rocket and start testing it, the speed at which they spend money will accelerate further.

Therefore, the patent licensing fees for perovskite batteries can be regarded as a large loss-making profit, and it is a mechanism for continuous loss-making.

Otherwise it would be too much pressure.

The reporters in the audience were taking notes frantically on their laptops.

Internet media like Sina Finance and Jiemian News directly write microblogs and send them out immediately:

"Guangjia Aerospace and JinkoSolar reach cooperation on next-generation perovskite batteries"

"Chen Yuanguang claims that perovskite battery technology is a pre-reserved technology for aerospace."

After the first piece of news was released, JinkoSolar's stock price soared, and this photovoltaic giant with a market value of hundreds of billions was directly blocked at the daily limit.

Previously, all major stock forums were buzzing with rumors that someone was going to cooperate with Guangjia Aerospace on the next generation of perovskite batteries.

In particular, small and medium-sized photovoltaic companies are the most frequently rumored, and are often suddenly hit by the daily limit because these small-cap stocks are easy to hype.

Now that the official news has come out, it has been concluded that JinkoSolar has taken the lead.

"The cooperation between JinkoSolar and Guangjia Aerospace is a powerful combination, and there will be at least three daily limit increases!"

"Three? Five!"

"The Light God effect is too strong. All companies related to Light Armor Aerospace are rising, and they often hit the daily limit.

Even the hospital stocks related to Guangjia Technology have also risen, this driving force is too strong. "

"It's definitely amazing. Whether it's human hibernation or perovskite batteries, these are visible core technologies and China's unique competitiveness.

It would be strange if this kind of exclusive monopoly technology didn’t increase in value, but I am still most optimistic about domestic new energy vehicle companies. Following this wave, using perovskite batteries to solve range anxiety can crush these joint venture car companies.”

"The main reason is that the price has risen too fast. Since the news of Seres' cooperation with Guangjia Aerospace came out, the stock price has almost doubled. I dare not buy it!"

"Can new energy vehicle companies cooperate with Guangjia Aerospace to equip perovskite batteries? Why can't joint venture car companies do the same? Chen Yuanguang doesn't have an exclusive agreement, and I haven't heard that he has any Wolf Warrior attributes."

Investors are very enthusiastic about the discussion, and influenced by the good news about the breakthrough in battery technology, the new energy vehicle sector has also seen a general rise during this period.
