When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

"Welcome to today's conference."

In May, at the conference center in Tangdu.

Wang Donglai walked onto the stage and addressed the audience.

With a relaxed smile on her face, she looked young and full of energy.

There weren't many people sitting in the audience, but there were still quite a few.

Besides major manufacturers like CATL and BYD, there are also brands such as Chaowei, Tianneng, Camel, Nanfu, and Varta.

It can be said that the companies present here, when united, occupy more than half of the entire market.

Aside from a few special meetings convened by higher authorities, it would be virtually impossible to bring so many industry giants together.

The reason it's considered impossible is because of the current meeting.

When Wang Donglai first mastered lithium-sulfur battery and semi-solid-state battery technologies, he directly collaborated with BYD and CATL.

They did not choose Chaowei, Tianneng, or Camel brands.

Meanwhile, in the battle for market share, the superior performance and market dominance demonstrated by lithium-sulfur batteries and semi-solid-state batteries have caused these brands to lose a significant portion of their market share.

These brands harbored anger and resentment towards BYD and CATL for causing this loss, but dared not show it at all towards Galaxy Technology, which had provided the technology.

the reason is simple.

Galaxy Technology is a company that focuses on technological research and development, but it has not actually laid out production plans.

Although there are two factories, they only supply products for their own use and do not supply to external parties.

Therefore, while Galaxy Technology's research and development caused losses for these brands, it was their competitors who truly suffered the losses.

Furthermore, since they were hoping to cooperate with Galaxy Technology in the future, they naturally wouldn't harbor any resentment towards Galaxy Technology.

Receiving the invitation from Galaxy Technology was an unexpected surprise for them.

Upon hearing that Galaxy Technology had developed a Xuanwu battery and that key data such as energy density had been revealed, they immediately sensed that their lives were in danger.

If BYD and CATL continue to obtain patent licenses for Xuanwu batteries, half of these brands may go out of business, and that's the most optimistic estimate.

With these concerns in mind, they were preparing to find connections and channels to discuss cooperation with Galaxy Technology.

Before I could even take any action, I received an invitation from Galaxy Technology.

They were naturally delighted to accept Galaxy Technology's invitation and readily agreed.

Thus, the scene before us came to be.

On stage, Wang Donglai gave a brief greeting.

My gaze swept across the faces of the crowd. Most of those who came this time were founders. Only those who were truly unable to leave would send someone else.

Wang Donglai's mind also quickly processed everyone's information.

Nanfu is one of the world's top five alkaline battery manufacturers.

Chaowei has an industry standard customization unit.

Tianneng Group is a company that mainly manufactures environmentally friendly power batteries for electric vehicles and integrates research and development, production and sales.

These companies are highly regarded by local governments and are major taxpayers.

Their bosses and founders are also wealthy individuals who wield considerable influence in their respective fields.

However, at this moment, here, they are sitting obediently below, listening to me speak.

This is because they hold patents for semi-solid-state batteries and have a high probability of breaking through solid-state battery technology, thus firmly controlling the discourse in the field of energy batteries.

That's why they acted that way.

The reason for inviting these companies is simple: Wang Donglai wants to achieve large-scale market entry of Xuanwu batteries as quickly as possible, just like before.

As for whether Galaxy Technology has become an industry giant with a high market value and large market share solely because of this battery, it is a separate issue.

Wang Donglai could have done it, but he didn't want to.

In fact, given Galaxy Technology's current scale...

The commercialization of this Xuanwu battery didn't require Wang Donglai's involvement at all.

However, both to give face to the boatman and others who came in person, and to better achieve his own goals, Wang Donglai decided to personally come forward.

"I won't waste any more time; everyone's time is precious."

"I've invited everyone here today for only one thing: the authorization of the Xuanwu Battery."

Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, everyone sitting below the stage sat up straight.

Even the boatman, who always wanted to develop his own technology and overcome technical difficulties, was no exception.

"Before we present our conditions, I think it is necessary to let you know some things, such as the specific data and cost of the Xuanwu battery."

As Wang Donglai finished speaking, the huge screen behind him lit up, displaying a series of specific numbers.

These data are very detailed, including data for both the lowest and highest temperatures.

As for the cost materials, Wang Donglai didn't resort to any tricks and simply released them directly.

At this moment, the crowd below the stage was filled with excitement, shock, and confusion.

The excitement lies in seeing these specific data and cost details, which allows them to gain a deeper understanding of Xuanwu batteries.

The shock and confusion stemmed from their complete incomprehension of Wang Donglai's actions.

After much thought, I could only guess that Wang Donglai would propose an extremely harsh condition.

For a moment, everyone felt extremely conflicted.

Wang Donglai gave everyone two minutes. When the time was up, he said directly, "I believe everyone should know what time that is."

"When I was about to release this data and information on costs and materials, the company stopped me from doing so."

"Since this is such an important matter, we must keep it confidential. We can only keep it confidential to our partners to a limited extent."

"But I refused."

"Because I don't think this is something that needs to be kept secret."

"The things that are afraid of being leaked are actually not difficult to understand, because once they are leaked, people will know about them and then imitate and surpass them. So, the fear of letting people know is that they need to keep it secret, just like the old days of 'how to make glass without bubbles'."

"There is another kind of secrecy, which is actually nothing high-tech, but the reason why you don't want outsiders to know is called secrecy if you have high emotional intelligence, and called covering up your ugliness if you have low emotional intelligence."

"If there is a real technical barrier, there is no need to worry about confidentiality, because even if someone knows it, they can't do it."

"Just like the materials of the Xuanwu battery, many people are worried that after the information is released, we will be restricted, the supply of materials will be affected, and it will be copied by others."

"But in my opinion, this is entirely a lack of confidence in technology."

"To imitate the Xuanwu battery, the threshold is actually very high. At least you need a laboratory to perform reverse analysis, a team, and equipment worth tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan."

"This alone can weed out a lot of people, leaving very few people and companies that can continue."

"Next, even if they are incredibly lucky and successfully analyze it, they won't dare to produce it exactly according to our formula, because that would be an infringement. There is a law to protect us. As long as they dare to go public, we will let them know what the point is of Galaxy Technology investing hundreds of millions of yuan every year to maintain a legal team."

"But how many of them will survive here?" "So, I'm not worried."

"I can also tell you directly that the Xuanwu battery is just the beginning. We will launch the Zhuque battery, Yinglong battery and other Shan Hai Jing series in the future to meet different application scenarios."

"On the other hand, Galaxy Technology will continue to increase its investment and strive to break through solid-state battery technology as soon as possible."

"I've said a bit too much, let's get back to the main topic."

"After reviewing the material cost situation and specific data, I think everyone should have a good understanding now."

"Next, I will present the terms of this cooperation."

"We will grant unlimited patent licenses for Xuanwu batteries; this time we will not set up exclusive licenses."

"As for the price, we will have two options. One is a total annual package price, based on the company's size and market share, and the other is to collect a full year's patent licensing fee in advance."

"Another way is to charge 10 percent of the sales revenue of each finished product."

When Wang Dong said that he would not set up exclusive authorization.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the boatman and Zeng Qun. When they saw the scene before them, they had already guessed that Wang Donglai would no longer only license the patent to the two of them, but they did not expect that Wang Donglai would not limit the number of licenses.

This is clearly an attempt to force them into a fierce competition and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

With such excellent performance, once the Xuanwu battery enters the market, anyone that fails to keep up will inevitably fall behind.

There have been lessons learned from this before.

But since everyone has it, it's as if no one has it at all.

When Wang Donglai revealed the first model of cooperation, it further solidified everyone's suspicions.

Wang Donglai was planning to take this opportunity to fleece them.

With this in mind, several hot-tempered men looked at Wang Donglai with a hint of anger in their eyes.

however.

When the second cooperation model was revealed, along with specific pricing details, everyone was astonished.

They couldn't possibly be fools to have developed the company to its current level.

Galaxy Technology only requires 10% of its product sales revenue to be paid as patent fees.

This standard is simply too low.

The barriers to entry in the energy battery industry are still quite high, and many people outside the industry are unaware of the specifics.

For example, many people don't know the gross profit margin of this industry.

Others may not know, but they certainly do.

It could be said that they had initially thought Wang Donglai would take the majority of the profits, but even so, many people decided to cooperate immediately.

They can accept a percentage of 45%.

Now, Wang Donglai has directly reduced the percentage to ten percent, completely reversing the situation.

This is only in terms of proportion; as physical enterprises, they have many other methods.

Since there is a sales quota for each finished product, can defective products circumvent this quota?

As for what constitutes a defective product and a standard product, the standards are in their hands.

Furthermore, Galaxy Technology has no way to verify the false reporting of production output.

In an instant, many people came up with a number of methods.

Before everyone could even get excited...

Wang Donglai's voice rang out again.

"I have given this 10% figure a lot of thought."

"I am also very clear about the gross profit margin of energy batteries. To put it bluntly, I may know more about your products than you do."

"This understanding includes, but is not limited to, information such as costs and profits."

"However, I still set this ratio."

"There are no free lunches in this world, only traps."

"I actually have a few requirements for giving this ratio."

"If you want to cooperate with Galaxy Technology and me, especially with important cooperation, you should keep this in mind."

"That is, Galaxy Technology's mission is to enable more people to enjoy the fun of technology, and our philosophy is to enable more people to enjoy fairness and the dividends of the times."

At this point, Wang Donglai paused, his expression becoming serious.

“I’m not joking with you all, I’m serious.”

"I think everyone has heard about the employee benefits at Galaxy Technology."

"Many people have said, openly or secretly, that Galaxy Technology is maliciously raising employee salaries, causing unnecessary cost increases, and that it should be resisted and shut down."

“I’ve heard that many times.”

"I just find it ridiculous!"

“I have never defended myself, nor have I argued with anyone.”

"Because those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

“I can’t manage other companies, nor do I have the ability to manage them, but Galaxy Technology is the company I founded, so it must be done according to my ideas.”

"In addition, some companies that have reached important strategic cooperation agreements with us should also understand and follow our approach."

"I call this convergence of values!"

"The phrase I hate most about the domestic job market is, 'If you don't do it, plenty of others will!'"

"Beneath these words lie the blood, tears, grievances, and helplessness of countless employees."

"Now, I also want to say this."

"We will also stop cooperating with companies that are unwilling to accept our ideas and values."

“If everyone rejects our cooperation, then we will enter this industry and establish ourselves here.”

"We will provide the greatest support to help our businesses grow and bring new changes to this field."

“Previously, when we were developing lithium-sulfur batteries and semi-solid batteries, we chose BYD and CATL as our partners.”

"During this process, we negotiated and improved the employment environment and compensation levels of BYD employees to a certain extent."

"In return for our active cooperation, we made certain concessions on patent licensing fees."

"but……"

Wang Donglai abruptly changed the subject, his expression turning icy cold. He transformed from his previous gentle demeanor into one of imposing presence and overwhelming pressure.

Meanwhile, Zeng Qun, sitting in the audience, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding! (End of Chapter)
