30: Chapter 30 The Americans Come to the Door
Wang Chuanjun extended his hand and stepped forward to introduce himself first.
Chen Yu looked at Wang Chuanjun, the big boss of a car company who frequently appeared on TV and online.
Now, to his surprise, he was so eager to shake his hand, Chen Yu felt it was a bit unreal.
Chen Yu quickly extended his hand and shook Wang Chuanjun's.
"Uh, hello, Mr. Wang, I often see you on TV!"
"Haha, Chairman Chen is too humble. Today, everyone's goal is only one: to cooperate with your company."
"Mr. Wang, originally I only considered cooperating with one car company, so I chose Nuomi Auto, but Mr. Lei taught me a principle: it's better to enjoy joy with others than alone."
Chen Yu's words made the car company big bosses present light up.
"Then, Chairman Chen, how do you plan to cooperate with us?" Wang Chuanjun asked.
"My cooperation method with you is very simple: I will provide you with power batteries."
Wang Chuanjun frowned, while the other car company big bosses' eyes lit up.
Wang Chuanjun frowned because his BYD Auto was the second largest battery supplier in the country.
The first, of course, was the surging CATL.
And they didn't even send representatives, probably still skeptical about this battery and waiting to see.
Now that Huanyu Technology was going to provide batteries to other car companies, his company would lose half of its profits.
Could it be that he also had to buy batteries from Huanyu Technology?
"Chairman Chen, I hope to cooperate with you on battery technology. What do you think?"
Wang Chuanjun put forward his cooperation request.
What he was thinking was that he had multiple battery production factories across the country.
Huanyu Technology cooperated with so many car companies, could it be that it alone could produce so many batteries?
As long as a cooperation was reached with Huanyu Technology, and then the technology was shared.
Then BYD Auto would still be an absolute leader in the battery and new energy vehicle fields.
Chen Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard Wang Chuanjun's cooperation request.
"Mr. Wang, you do have a massive number of production lines that I don't, but currently, I don't plan to cooperate with other manufacturers for the production of Heavy Hydrogen Ion Battery. Besides, your battery production lines cannot meet our production needs."
Wang Chuanjun was speechless, being rebuffed by Chen Yu.
But if he gave up the cooperation with Huanyu Technology on battery production, his BYD Auto would suffer the biggest loss.
Other manufacturers would simply switch to another battery supplier.
"Chairman Chen, you can tell me the production line requirements you want. We will unconditionally build 50 production lines for you, as long as you agree to jointly produce Heavy Hydrogen Ion Battery with us!"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes; Wang Chuanjun was truly going all out!
Chen Yu knew that BYD Auto's Shenzhen Super Factory only had 16 production lines.
Now, they were going to build 50 for Huanyu Technology, which was a truly grand gesture.
These 50 production lines alone would require an investment of at least 20 billion yuan.
Chen Yu thought for a moment. All his current Heavy Hydrogen Ion Battery.
Except for the first and second-level high-compression Heavy Hydrogen Ion Battery, which could only be manufactured on the First Generation Spaceship production line on the moon.
The remaining third, fourth, and fifth-level batteries could indeed be moved to Earth for manufacturing to save costs.
Now that BYD Auto was helping to build production lines for free, how could Chen Yu refuse?
Moreover, his battery technology was not something that could be manufactured just with a production line.
Chen Yu had set up anti-reverse engineering bugs in the most important battery internal management system and the packaging materials.
So, even if BYD Auto helped build the production lines, they would not be able to master the core technology, and ultimately, Chen Yu would have the final say.
"Good, Mr. Wang is indeed generous. Then it's settled!"
Ultimately, Chen Yu and Wang Chuanjun reached the following cooperation agreement.
BYD Auto would acquire land in Jiangcheng and build a new battery factory.
The new factory would be a joint venture between Huanyu Technology and BYD Auto. BYD Auto would provide the funds and hold 30% of the shares, while Huanyu Technology would provide the technology and hold 70% of the shares.
Once the factory was completed, 10% of the battery production capacity would be used in BYD Auto's own models.
The remaining 90% of the batteries would be sold to the other car companies present.
Although the other car companies had some complaints, this was the best outcome; otherwise, if they couldn't even get a single battery, wouldn't they be out of the game?
After today, Chen Yu's Huanyu Technology would basically be the leading enterprise in China's automotive industry, holding an transcendent position.
And Nuomi Auto and BYD Auto could be considered to have hitched a ride on the big ship of Huanyu Technology. Although they paid a huge price.
But in the long run, they would make a lot of money.
In the evening, Chen Yu returned home with Xiao Jiazi.
On the road in front of the gate, a Ford car was parked.
After seeing Chen Yu appear, several foreigners got out of the car.
Upon arriving at Chen Yu's doorstep, the tall white man leading the group extended his hand and spoke in broken Chinese:
"Mr. Chen, I am Henders, a representative of the United States military. Your company has too many people; we hope to talk with Mr. Chen."
Chen Yu frowned. The United States military? These guys were really fast.
The Yanxia military hadn't even come to him yet, but he didn't expect the United States to arrive first.
"Speak, what do you want to talk about?"
"Mr. Chen, aren't you going to invite us into your house to sit down? Are we going to talk at this doorstep?"
"I'm sorry, it's not convenient at my home!"
The Americans looked displeased, but still said nothing.
"Mr. Chen, we hope to purchase a flying car from you."
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; as expected, they came for the flying car, or more precisely, for the Anti-Gravity Engine inside.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Henders, the flying car I demonstrated at the press conference is not currently in mass production. It was only for display purposes, so it cannot be sold!"
Henders narrowed his eyes. Their purpose for this trip was that thing. Now that Chen Yu wouldn't sell it, what were they going to do?
"Mr. Chen, the price is negotiable!"
Chen Yu spread his hands and said mockingly:
"Mr. Henders, do you think I still lack money now? Just this morning, a group of bigwigs came to sign contracts with me. I now have tens of billions in cash alone. So, tell me, how much money are you going to pay to buy my flying car? Let me hear it?"
Henders was speechless. The other party clearly wasn't short of money, so how was he going to get the flying car?
"Mr. Chen, the current situation is difficult for me to decide. After I report to my superiors, we will come again!"
Henders left with his people. They needed to call back and ask what to do now. The other party was not short of money and seemed very difficult to deal with.
Chen Yu watched the Ford car leave. These Americans were quite proactive.
However, Chen Yu would never hand over the flying car to these Americans, even though they wouldn't be able to figure out the technology inside if they took it.
Chen Yu returned to the villa and took out his phone. In the past two days, he had basically finalized the cooperation with various manufacturers.
In terms of raw materials, what was most lacking now was deuterium gas. Chen Yu called Zhou Zhihua of Jiangcheng Rare Gas Manufacturing Plant.
After the call connected, Zhou Zhihua's hearty laughter immediately rang out!
"Hahaha, Brother Chen, you really are a late bloomer!"
