instance, Tesla, whose valuation keeps rising, has consistently used Panasonic's 18650 batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These serve as the power packs for their new energy electric vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, Panasonic has also invested heavily in renewable hydrogen fuel cell technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have created numerous patented technologies in this field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, on this technological track, the Japanese have achieved complete monopoly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why most countries in the world, including Dragon Country, have not developed more environmentally friendly and powerful hydrogen energy technology,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is precisely because the Japanese have blocked every path toward hydrogen energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wish to utilize hydrogen energy, it is very difficult to bypass Japanese hydrogen energy patents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the full name of the product manufactured by Fengyi Technology is: Cobalt-Free Solid-State Carbon-Silicon Anode Lithium Battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost like the Japanese, they have completely blocked off the patent landscape regarding cobalt-free technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me give a simple example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the cobalt-free cathode—the system provided the technology, including the heterogeneous structures, and Fengyi Technology has patented nearly all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, in terms of solid-state electrolytes, dozens of oxides of specific elements added as solid materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same applies here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, if one wanted to circumvent a new technology's patents, most approaches started with altering structures, oxides, or valence states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengyi Technology has filed over a hundred patents, completely blocking this route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Panasonic wants to produce cobalt-free batteries, they will basically have to seek help from Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would have to attempt starting research down an entirely new path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they do that, both the investment required and the final results would be completely unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, by that time, their new battery still isn't as good as Fengyi Technology's, wouldn't their money be completely wasted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the patents, Inukai Koichi instantly felt somewhat desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the cobalt-free lithium battery Panasonic itself was researching was merely one of the paths taken by the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, while they hadn't even achieved results, the other side was already capable of producing various heterogeneous batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, upon examining the patents thoroughly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he found the other party's coverage so comprehensive that even racking his brains, Inukai Koichi could find no way to bypass their patent pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baka, this company is too detestable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helplessly, he could only report upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as a Fortune Global 500 company with over 200 production bases worldwide,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the lithium battery project is not Panasonic's core business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it would likely take a very long time before Inukai Koichi's report reached the upper management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side, Ma Ma Sike from the Ugly Country had been extremely unlucky recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just been robbed by a group of armed black men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bodyguards even exchanged gunfire with them, sparking fear among Americans regarding social security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, today he came to Tesla's headquarters in California\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because his Chief Technology Officer wanted to introduce him to a battery from Dragon Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A battery from Dragon Country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Ma Sike was very puzzled; after all, although Dragon Country is considered a major battery producer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those are all ordinary batteries, whereas Tesla needs cutting-edge power batteries with strong output and massive energy storage capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This requires excellent battery technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Tesla chose Panasonic battery packs was precisely due to their stability and superior quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his Chief Technology Officer, Straubel, was absolutely not someone who spoke without basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this battery from Dragon Country underwent testing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Ma Sike's initial disdain gradually turned into widened eyes, until finally, his eyes bulged round in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, God, how is this possible!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Ma Sike exclaimed in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elon, I didn't lie to you, right? I was also shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battery is produced by a manufacturer in Dragon Country and has just obtained certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straubel also said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too incredible! Its performance is simply three times that of Panasonic's batteries, and it also features flash-charging technology. Isn't this exactly the battery Tesla has been dreaming of? Even more inconceivably, its safety is such that it simply cannot catch fire; this has completely surpassed the limitations of ternary lithium batteries!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ma Ma Sike hurriedly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I must immediately go to Dragon Country... Such a battery manufacturer must become a supplier for Tesla's batteries,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>otherwise, it will be our disaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, he actually left without even attending to his technology officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Elon, I'm going with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straubel shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Yi naturally knew nothing about the completely different reactions from Panasonic and Tesla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was currently receiving President Ren from Huawei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Huawei has been riding high lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sales in Europe have repeatedly hit new highs; compared to other innovations, Fengyi Technology's Super Power phone battery\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>has instantly won over the hearts of European customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Huawei's overseas price for the P9+ with its 8000 mAh battery is over 100 euros higher than the P9 with a standard battery,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this has done nothing to dampen European customers' love for the P9+.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its extremely fast charging speed and massive capacity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>especially compared to Apple's new 6S with 1715 mAh and the 6S Plus with 2750 mAh, neither of which supports flash charging,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it is clear that Europe prefers large-capacity flash-charging batteries like those in the P9+.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means they no longer need to worry about charging all day long like Apple users do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, at Huawei's phone launch event in Europe, the battery was featured as the main selling point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with its already strong performance and considerate service,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huawei naturally won the hearts of the Europeans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Huawei phones exploding in popularity across Europe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ren naturally needed to visit Fengyi Technology to strengthen their relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Old Ren estimated that Huawei's sales in Europe this time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were at least 40% thanks to Fengyi Technology's help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such a technologically advanced company,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huawei would dearly love to acquire it immediately and integrate it into its own supply chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, even though Old Ren was willing to offer 20 billion Chinese yuan, Lin Yi showed no sign of yielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing there was no way around it, Old Ren could only bring up the supply arrangements for 2016.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huawei this time wanted to order 50 million phone batteries from Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This constituted an order worth between 5 and 7.5 billion Chinese yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the wealthy and powerful Huawei didn't even haggle over the price;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the 8000 mAh battery remained at 99 yuan, and the 12000 mAh one at 199 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Old Ren hoped that Fengyi Technology would prioritize future production capacity for Huawei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having such booming overseas business but suffering from a lack of batteries\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was something Old Ren had truly had enough of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi was also quite surprised by the massive order Old Ren had placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking that the new factory was about to be completed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the company would soon be able to launch fifteen phone battery production lines.\u003C\u002Fp>",1191,"2026-06-16T04:14:27.492Z","2026-06-16T04:35:02.051Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","0a53036cb0250f46cef3c7bc5b4aa7828e97b2f3e1ae88884bdec5bd7ccc15fe","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-157","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-155",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
