24: Chapter 24 Battery Company On-Site Visit

The sound of water boiling slowly emanated from the kettle.

Su Fan didn't just wait around; instead, he called over Captain Wu of the fire brigade to prepare for a simultaneous combustion experiment.

Captain Wu nodded and waved toward the backstage.

Soon, a group of firefighters arrived on stage carrying iron basins, flame throwers, and fire extinguishers.

Su Fan continued addressing the audience below the stage: "Keep the water boiling to the side. Staff, keep an eye on the water level—don't let it boil dry. We will now begin testing the fire resistance."

After speaking, he threw the battery in his hand directly into the iron basin.

Then, he took an ignited flame thrower from a nearby firefighter.

He aimed it straight at the Super God Battery in the iron basin and sprayed.

Flames instantly filled the entire iron basin.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the Super God Battery had not been ignited.

The audience's eyes widened as they strained to look into the brazier; those in the back even stood up just to catch a glimpse of the Super God Battery inside the fire.

The flame thrower kept spraying and spraying.

Ten minutes later, Su Fan stopped the spray.

The fire in the brazier vanished instantly.

Seeing the fire disappear so suddenly, and then seeing the Super God Battery inside the basin remaining almost exactly as it was, the entire venue erupted in an uproar!

"I'm convinced, truly convinced. The Super God Battery really lives up to its name."

"From this day forward, Xia Kingdom's new energy batteries have completely surpassed those abroad, becoming the world leader in batteries!"

"We've witnessed history today. With the Super God Battery, the automotive industry is about to be reshuffled."

Next, the press conference continued. The power test successfully reached 31 minutes, and the puncture test passed smoothly without a single spark.

After this press conference, countless people spread the news—the rise of domestic batteries was unstoppable!

Many others also spent a sleepless night, as their enterprises faced a life-and-death crisis.

However, Su Fan didn't care about this public discourse; at that moment, he was being cornered in a hallway by a crowd of media personnel.

"Chairman Su, may I ask who developed the Super God Battery?"

"Chairman Su, what is the planned selling price for the Super God Battery?"

"Chairman Su, what is the production capacity of the Super God Battery?"

"Chairman Su, have you ever considered releasing the technology to benefit the whole world?"

Su Fan: "..."

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was a bit dazed. These reporters were too crazy and terrifying!

Fortunately, the firefighters nearby were helpful, stepping in as bodyguards to shield Su Fan and Zhou Xiaoxiao as they squeezed through the crowd.

Returning to the company by car, Su Fan still felt a lingering fear.

He was just about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when a security guard came to report that a group of big bosses were at the company entrance, wanting to see him.

Su Fan didn't even need to think to know what these corporate bosses were here for. He had already prepared in advance, just waiting for these people to jump into the pit.

"Xiaoxiao, go receive them. Lead them to the large conference room on the second floor and have them wait. I'll be there shortly."

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and walked away with her long legs.

Meanwhile, Su Fan went to his own office. On his desk, three technology licensing contracts were laid out prominently!

About half an hour later, Su Fan arrived at the second-floor conference room.

The room was already filled with corporate representatives.

The highest-ranking among them was naturally Jian Yuhua, the Chairman of Denning Era, followed by the General Manager of Biguandi.

The moment Su Fan entered the room, the sounds of discussion vanished instantly.

It was like a homeroom teacher entering a classroom.

Su Fan sat down in the head seat of his own accord, giving a formulaic smile that revealed eight teeth. "I wonder what business you bosses have here today."

The representatives looked at each other, then Jian Yuhua of Denning Era spoke up loudly: "Chairman Su is young and promising, we truly admire you. I wonder if you could give us a way to survive?"

Su Fan looked at Jian Yuhua in surprise. He hadn't expected him to be so direct; he had thought these old men would play Tai Chi for a while.

"There is a way, and it only has benefits for you with no downsides. I just don't know if you all can accept it." Su Fan smiled and waved the contracts in his hand.

"Please, go on."

"Then I'll be blunt." Su Fan scanned the corporate representatives in the conference room.

These people affected the employment of at least hundreds of thousands. If he truly established a monopoly and didn't give them a piece of the pie, hundreds of thousands of families would be affected.

"I can license part of the technology to you and also provide the blueprints for the production lines. With this technology, the production lines, and the Super God Battery 1.5 Solution provided by Super God Company, you can produce the batteries independently."

The representatives looked at Su Fan, knowing the catch would come next.

"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. For every kilogram of batteries you produce, you must pay a technical usage fee of 200 yuan to Super God Energy Company. This fee does not include the Super God Battery 1.5 Solution."

"A 200 yuan technical usage fee? What would the total cost be then!"

"Chairman Su, could it be a bit less? The cost is too high."

The representatives voiced their opinions.

Su Fan smiled; he didn't blame them for thinking this way because the cost of previous lithium batteries was indeed high.

But this was the Super God Battery.

"I think it's not high at all," Su Fan said seriously. "Do you know the cost of the Super God Battery?"

"Chairman Su, what is the cost?" Jian Yuhua followed up.

"100 yuan per kilogram!" Su Fan's voice rose slightly. "Do you still think it's expensive?"

"So low!"

"Then there's no problem at all. Even with a 200 yuan technical usage fee, it's only 300 yuan."

"300 yuan for 1.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity... the cost per kilowatt-hour is 200 yuan, several times lower than before."

"Chairman Su is amazing!"

"Chairman Su is generous!"

These entrepreneurs actually had skin thicker than the next; they didn't hold back at all when it came to flattery.

Su Fan was speechless. He continued, "The technology can be licensed, but only to three companies. You'll have to figure that out yourselves!"

"There are three contracts here. I'll give you one hour to discuss."

After saying that, Su Fan left the conference room.

He had absolutely nothing in common with these old men.

Inside the conference room, the representatives of the battery industry looked at each other, and finally, Jian Yuhua was the first to speak.

"Let's divide these three slots according to market share."

"Denning Era gets one slot, Biguandi gets one slot, and for the remaining slot, the rest of you can jointly establish a company to use it together."

The other battery company representatives were immediately unhappy. Why should Denning and Biguandi each have their own?

But on second thought, those two companies truly had the strength to justify it.

Those representatives who weren't the top leaders of their companies all started making calls to contact their respective bosses.

The General Manager of Biguandi also contacted his Chairman, though his mood was relatively relaxed.

An hour later, Su Fan returned to the conference room.

The representatives had finished their discussion and finally decided to adopt Jian Yuhua's plan.

The three contracts were taken back by them; once signed and sealed, they would be sent back.
