"Lin Qingyi?"

The cell phone rang again, but it was not a call, but a text message. Li Zehua took a look and was stunned.

Looking at the number again, it seems that I had hung up several times just now?
At this time, he had already separated from Wu Yibin, who had made an appointment to hold a board meeting at the company tomorrow morning and go fishing together in the afternoon.

He had no time to rest. Even after get off work, he had to go back to the company and discuss the final design plan of the battery swap device with the product design team sent by BYD.

This was discussed a long time ago and is used in the delivery electric vehicle charging project. Now the appearance has just been adjusted to emphasize safety and practicality.

"You called me, what's going on?"

He looks very impatient now, just like a scumbag.

As the saying goes, he is as crazy as a devil before sex and as holy as a Buddha after sex. When he puts on his pants and speaks with confidence, he is very confident.

Actually, he didn't spend a penny on Lin Qingyi. He even booked a five-star executive suite in Yanjing for her to stay for two more days, and the venture capital paid for it in full.

The spicy hot pot and the cost of changing hotels were paid by Lin Qingyi.

Even the cosmetics set given away were free trials as part of a hotel joint event. They were really stingy.

Lin Qingyi felt very aggrieved. With her figure and appearance, she was always the focus of attention wherever she went, but she kept hitting a wall with him.

I called several times but was hung up on without mercy. No explanation was of any use, and after that I was told to go somewhere else to have sex.

Where is she going? She is now staying in the shabby little house she rents, with the old air conditioner blowing out cold air feebly.

There were strange noises and vibrations, as if it was about to cut off at any time. The cooling effect was only satisfactory.

She was wearing a small suspender, leaving a large area of ​​skin exposed, and casually wearing panties with cartoon heads printed on them. She was only in this completely enclosed little room that belonged entirely to her.

She can release her nature without restraint, but when the phone rings, she has to put on the mask again.

Even though the other person couldn't see, she forced a smile and pouted, looking very cute: "Brother~"

"Stop, let's talk about it. I'm in a hurry to go back to the company for a meeting."

When he called, Li Zehua was getting in the car and casually said, "Go to the airport first and pick up Mr. Zeng to go back to the company together."

Zeng Haiyang came back from Yanjing today. He is calm and reliable in his work, and he also has the murderous aura to calm the situation.

With him around, there would be no major problems in the express delivery industry, so Li Zehua felt at ease to make a trip to eastern Guangdong.

Zhang Tao nodded as usual and started the car skillfully.

When you are free on the road, you can use it as a way to kill time and temper the other person's restless personality, so that you will be able to take the blame more confidently in the future.

"Oh."

Lin Qingyi could hear his impatience, but she didn't get angry at all, she just felt aggrieved occasionally.

After all, this seems a little different from what she thought?
She said crisply, "Then can I come to the Magic City?"

After saying this, my heart was pounding wildly, fearing that the other party would refuse again.

"What are you doing in the Demon City?"

Li Zehua raised his hand and looked at it. His arm was bare. It seemed that he needed a watch, so it would be inconvenient to check the time.

He said, "I have to go to Guangdong to do some work the day after tomorrow."

Lin Qingyi's mood sank a little bit as she heard these words, and she reluctantly uttered a word, "Oh."

Perhaps he felt that his tone was too harsh, so he asked one more question, "You are still in Yanjing, aren't you going home for the holidays?"

"I was originally going to participate in the charity performance arranged by the school, as well as several commercial performances."

Lin Qingyi buried her little head deeply in her arms and said weakly, "But now I don't need it, and I don't want to go back."

The contract was retrieved and he became a free agent again, but several scheduled commercial performances were also cancelled.

She usually spends money lavishly. For example, she pays a year's rent for this rental house near Yanyi.

She had been dreaming of signing a contract to become an artist and spent money without restraint. Then she met Li Zehua, a dishonest guy who forced himself on her and drained her of her last bit of savings.

Right now, it’s difficult to even get a meal, let alone go home.

Without performances, there is no income. I have to ask my family for money, but it’s only a few hundred yuan, and I have to be scolded by my dad. It’s so annoying.

Borrow money from people around you?

She couldn't bring herself to do that. She had shown off the set of cosmetics in the rental house to more than one person. If she asked for money now, wouldn't that be a slap in her face?
Li Zehua had no idea of ​​this, but once you have tasted meat, it is hard to give it up. Listening to the voice on the phone, he was quite tempted.

After thinking for a while, he said, “Why don’t you go home during the summer vacation?

There doesn't seem to be a direct flight from Yanjing to Yangzhou. If you're willing, you can fly to Shanghai someday. I'll ask the driver to take you back then."

"Really?"

Lin Qingyi instantly perked up, "What kind of car is that, a Rolls-Royce?"

"Thank you for coming here, what are you expecting? A Mercedes Benz S600 won't do."

Li Zehua laughed and scolded, "That's it. When I return to Shanghai someday, you can come over. Yangzhou is close anyway."

These words were spoken to the driver in front. The test of Zhang Tao is still going on.

Only those who can keep secrets under any circumstances are worthy of trust and can be further used.

He used his connections and sent people to arrange the pick-up and drop-off to bring the other party's wife and children to the Magic City. This was not a joke.

Lin Qingyi didn't want to give up the opportunity and tried to struggle, "Then can I accompany you to Guangdong East?

Don't worry, I will be a good boy. I will stay in the hotel during the day and wait for you to come back at night, okay?

Just a little bit of your time, I miss you."

It was these last words that touched a chord in someone’s heart, “Really?”

"Ah."

"Let me see, it's 17 p.m. now, please take the nearest flight.

I'm afraid it's not possible to go to eastern Guangdong. Play in Shanghai for two days, and then I'll have the driver take you home."

After saying this, he hung up the phone without caring what the other party thought.

Judging from the time, Mr. Zeng will soon get off the plane.

Lin Qingyi was stunned when she heard the busy tone on the phone, and her mouth remained open for a long time.

She has no money, let alone the plane ticket, she doesn't even have money to take a taxi to the airport.

But she didn't dare to continue calling him to harass him. She held the phone and thought for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and found the phone number of a dog to bootlicker and called him.

"Hey, do you have any money?"

Someone who was ecstatic about receiving a call from the goddess nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, how much do you want?"

Lin Qingyi suppressed her nausea and said, "One thousand yuan is enough."

"Okay, send me your card number. There's no bank near my home. I'll borrow a bicycle from my neighbor and go to the street to transfer it for you."

Someone hung up the phone excitedly, rummaged around the house, and finally took out the piggy bank.

I picked it up, but I didn't take it out because I was too excited or because the piggy bank hadn't been used for a long time.

He was so anxious that he simply picked up the piggy bank and threw it to the ground!

In an instant, porcelain pottery, red banknotes, and a lot of small coins were scattered everywhere.

He didn't bother to clean up and grabbed a handful of money from the ground. He estimated that there were more than one or two thousand yuan, but he didn't count them.

He pushed the door open and walked out, almost bumping into his parents who had heard the noise and rushed over.

"My classmate is in the hospital and needs money urgently to save his life. I'm going to take care of him."

He hurriedly said these words and disappeared in a flash.

"This child is in such a hurry, won't he ask his mother for money?"

I had no choice but to pick up the broom and go into the house to clean up...

He ignored the flight information sent on his phone. He was very busy and knew clearly what the other party wanted. He sent a number to Zhang Tao and asked him to pick up someone at the airport in a few hours. Then he got off the car with Zeng Haiyang and went into the company.

In the takeout and express delivery industry, there is no normal working and rest time. At more than seven o'clock, the park headquarters is still bustling with people.

Especially the dispatch department, which has to adjust the meal pickup and delivery routes from time to time. The delivery guys on the way out cannot receive real-time information and can only be notified temporarily by phone.

In an era without smartphones, Li Zehua and Chi Mo could only grope forward little by little in the dark. Fortunately, they did a good job.

"Good evening, Mr. Li.

This is the charging device we designed urgently at your request. We have adopted many of the latest designs, such as..."

In the conference room, several charging cabinets of different sizes are neatly arranged, and the specially modified thick wires are extremely conspicuous.

Li Zehua didn't have time to listen to those complicated technical explanations, as that was something the people below should take care of. He reached out and took a scanner, aiming it at the sensor chip on the door lock.

Just open it simply, and you will see a fully charged battery with a green light on, lying there quietly.

“Let me introduce it to you. This is a 3×4 twelve-charging port, specially prepared for towns and communities with less traffic.

There is also a 16-port port here, which is specially designed for takeout express delivery stations. In order to improve safety, we have specially installed alarm devices and simple fire extinguishing devices inside..."

Zeng Haiyang took out the battery and looked at it carefully. "Why is it different from the existing specifications?"

Li Zehua replied casually, "Of course it's different. After this batch, all BYD batteries will be designed like this.

It’s mainly to distinguish previous products. I can’t get back a bunch of old batteries when I replace the battery, right?

Furthermore, the battery replacement plan can also boost sales of new models.”

He was the one who led this matter. It was very simple to say. No matter the size of the battery or the material used, just make it into a rectangular shape, which was simple and convenient.

As for the lead-acid batteries purchased in the battery replacement plan, they are not expensive, and the costs can be recovered quickly with the single-use charging model and monthly membership model in the plan.

"We can also design a password device on the cabinet door to prevent the lack of scanners in some places or special circumstances.

I only have one request, that while it is simple and convenient, it must also ensure security and accurate data transmission, and that every insertion and removal process to complete the sale must be clearly reflected..."

This cannot be taken lightly, because the battery exchange cabinets and batteries are placed out in the open, and the company cannot assign someone to supervise. The company can only rely on counting the specific exchange data during each maintenance and charging money based on the number of times.

Before the advent of third-party QR code payment, this was a very serious issue. It’s not like they’re doing good deeds anonymously; this is a business activity to make money.

Thanks to the large number of electric vehicles owned by Qingyun, the company has a dedicated maintenance team and even dedicated engineers who are very knowledgeable.

After acquiring BYD's battery factory, the latter also sent a professional service team, and the two groups conducted technical verification around the battery swap cabinets.

Nothing can be seen in a short period of time, and more problems can only be discovered after the pilot program is promoted.

"You guys take care of it, and make sure it's safe. It's okay at the site, we have someone in charge, and any problems can be dealt with in a timely manner.

If they are put into other markets, such as convenience stores and express delivery stations, they have not received professional training. If an accident occurs, the loss of life and property will be disastrous. "

Li Zehua was still worried after thinking about it, and repeatedly emphasized to the head of the technical team, "It's okay even if it's a little slower. It will take some time for BYD to change the production line anyway."

The person in charge signed a new work agreement, and the benefits have been qualitatively improved, and he is full of energy. "Boss, don't worry, we are professional in technology.

Make sure all problems are found during the testing phase.”

"Okay, when the project is completed, I will give each of you a bonus."

Li Zehua turned to Zeng Haiyang and said, "Do you think it's okay for a courier to use this?"

"Just make do."

Zeng Haiyang was more concerned about the mileage and charging time. Hearing this, he took another look at the technical parameters and said, "Boss, this thing only runs 30 to 40 kilometers after charging for four or five hours.

If it is used on a courier truck, and it is carrying a load of goods, it will probably break down after a short while.”

"If one piece isn't enough, add two. If two pieces aren't enough, add another piece."

Li Zehua waved his hand and immediately made the decision, "To do technical verification, someone has to make sacrifices. Are we going to make electric vehicle batteries for the rest of our lives?"

Then he called in professionals, "Do you understand? Based on this, there are two directions: one is to shrink or enlarge. If you want technology, I will buy technology; if you want a factory, I will buy a factory.

In a word, the principle is clear. We need to make mobile phone batteries, and we also need to maximize the number of batteries.

The next step of your research and development should be to study high temperature resistance, non-flammability, fast charging, etc. You should pay attention to collecting information on lithium batteries and graphene batteries.

You will also be responsible for establishing a battery and materials research institute, and recruiting relevant experts and talents. "

The professionals are also desperate. Originally, they were only responsible for improving existing material technology in the factory, and the patents they applied for every year were all about appearance design.

It's okay to fool laymen, but if you encounter technical difficulties, you have to hire a more professional team.

When it comes to research and development, they are completely clueless.

Fortunately, Li Zehua was quick to pay. He thought about it and finally found a solution. He said:
"I have come into contact with technical teams from several research institutes before, and they have participated in several technical upgrades in the factory..."

"Dig it here!"

Li Zehua waved his hand and said, "Now is the era of technological research and development. It is not advisable to rest on the laurels of the past. The factory does not want to keep idle people.

Please help me spread the word. As long as you have the ability, Qingyun will accept anyone who comes. In the first phase, we will arrange 50 million yuan for scientific research funds.

To do technology, you need perseverance. I will take care of the funding issue, there is no upper limit!

As long as there are results and they can be put into practical application, I will continue to invest for ten or twenty years. Anyway, I am still young and there will be no problem in working on it for another thirty or fifty years.

If there are universities that are interested in battery research and development, they can also come and apply for the project.

In the future, every penny the company earns from battery production will be invested in research and development and expanded production.

Don’t worry about the lack of research funding. As long as I can produce results, I am willing to spend any amount of money.”

With the 3.5 million yuan loaned from the bank, together with ChiMei and PinXixi, we invested in BYD and acquired the BYD battery factory. There was still some money left, which was just enough to invest in research and development.

He didn't understand science and technology, but he just arranged the research funds, set goals, sent people to supervise to ensure unnecessary waste, and then assisted in acquisitions, mergers, and recruitment to expand the technical team.

With his ability to make money, he will make some noise sooner or later.

At worst, sooner or later we will have to join forces with CATL and BYD. Wouldn't it be easy to find some people to help with technological upgrades?
Zeng Haiyang was stunned by his generosity, "Mr. Li, is there really such a big market for this battery?"

It always feels unreal. Fifty million can be spent just like that, and is there any upper limit?

"Whether the market is big or not can be known by looking at subsequent practices. Data will not lie."

After the acceptance team preliminarily confirmed the reliability of the battery swap cabinet, Li Zehua and Zeng Haiyang discussed for a while, then called Qin Lang over and talked for a long time.

It was finally confirmed that a small-scale commercial pilot would be launched in Shanghai, with an effort to cover every outlet first.

When he really started doing it, he realized that his preparations were not sufficient. Qin Lang pondered for a long time and found the biggest problem:
"This thing, including the battery inside, costs less than 10,000 yuan. If I put it at the entrance of the station, it won't be stolen, right?"

He has led a team to travel around eastern Guangdong and is well aware of the local environment. It might be fine to conduct a small-scale pilot in Shanghai, but if it is promoted nationwide, they might lose the battery before making any money from replacing the battery.

"Put up cameras to monitor the whole process 24 hours a day."

Li Zehua didn't have a good solution for this, so he could only do what he could, "How about asking you to contact the Six Gates of Magic City?
The only way to avoid greater losses is to strike back at these people who are trying to get something for nothing.

Next, all our batteries will be equipped with hidden serial numbers, unified specifications, and equipped with positioning and tracking chips if possible.”

Qin Lang didn’t know much about this, so he only talked about the part he was familiar with: “The Magic City agreed very readily, and I also communicated with the Yangcheng Governor’s Office.

They agreed to negotiate with the local authorities in the name of the Governor's Office. We have made an estimate and the cost of launching large-scale, centralized remediation in Guangzhou and Shenzhen simultaneously is not high.

Based on similar actions in the past, a sponsorship of several million might be enough, and we have also contacted some local businesses that have been severely affected.

They are very interested in this and are willing to work with us to negotiate with the local Six Gates.”

"Millions, spend!"

Only those who have experienced it know how serious the smog hidden in the dark side that is not illuminated by the sunshine of rapid economic development is.

Li Zehua agrees with this: "Spending a few million today can save tens of millions tomorrow. Only when there is a stable environment can we let go and do things.

You have to personally take charge of this matter. Not only should you make it a special operation, but you should also continue to sponsor the Six Gates in various places.

Make it a normal high-voltage situation, and punish anyone who steals batteries for takeaways with ill intentions.

Didn't you just say you wanted to buy cameras? I'll arrange it myself. Not only will we use them, but we'll also support the six local gates and use their Skynet system to make it so that criminals have nowhere to hide."

If I buy too many of these cameras, maybe I can get a ride from Shanghai Vision, which is another good investment project, and I can definitely make money! (End of this chapter)
