Chapter 175

"This must be President Lin, I hope you don't mind my uninvited visit!"

"Secretary Wang, your presence brings immense honor to our Fengyi Technology!"

"Haha, President Lin is also young and accomplished; our Magic City lacks talents like you!"

"You flatter me, Secretary Wang!"

Lin Yi said.

"Modest yet dignified, neither humble nor arrogant, a fine young man!"

Secretary Wang said, before adding:

"What's this, Chairman Lin, won't you take me on a tour of our Magic City's high-tech enterprise?"

"Oh, please, this way, Secretary Wang!"

With that, Lin Yi led the group of government officials toward the new factory.

As soon as Secretary Wang entered the production workshop, he began asking questions,

such as what each stage of the process entailed.

"What is this equipment that looks like a large stainless steel vat?" Secretary Wang asked.

Immediately, a production manager replied:

"This is a mixing tank; we blend raw materials and conductive agents into a slurry, much like beating eggs, and once it passes inspection, it proceeds to the coating process!"

Secretary Wang watched as the machine spread the black substance, controlled by computers via the coater,

"The evenness of the slurry coating and the edge margins undergo strict testing;

after drying the cobalt-free cathode substrate, it undergoes coating on both sides before entering the 'electrode manufacturing' stage!"

Secretary Wang observed the electrode cutter slicing the large roll of cobalt-free substrate material, now fully coated, into small pieces according to the required battery dimensions.

He casually picked up a piece, which was incredibly thin, like a cicada's wing.

Then, positive and negative electrodes are paired, wrapped together with insulating material, and finally stacked like a layered pancake.

During this process, the battery capacity can generally be set.

Fewer layers mean lower capacity, while more layers yield greater capacity.

Afterward, an X-ray inspection is conducted; if stacking anomalies exist, the battery may swell or short-circuit during later use.

Next comes high-temperature baking to remove moisture, followed by electrolyte injection.

"This is our Fengyi Technology's proprietary solid-state electrolyte;

after injection into the battery, it automatically solidifies within about five minutes...!"

As he spoke, the production workshop manager presented a finished battery cell.

"So this is how batteries are manufactured!"

Wang Mingqiao suddenly realized.

This was his first time visiting a battery production company.

To be honest, Wang Mingqiao had initially looked down upon a battery manufacturing enterprise.

However, Fengyi Technology had offered him quite a few surprises.

This company had not only secured massive orders from Huawei, gaining widespread fame,

but later, at his level, he also learned that the company's products had gained approval from the Dragon Nation military,

and it was highly likely that the electromagnetic catapult system of the Dragon Nation's third domestically built aircraft carrier would rely on products from this battery factory.

Furthermore, recently, Fengyi Technology's official website announced a strategic partnership with the American Tesla Company.

They would supply power batteries for their new energy electric vehicles, with the initial batch of orders reaching as high as 400 million US dollars.

This export volume was no small feat.

Especially since this involved exporting new-type lithium batteries, a product with high added value.

Moreover, many small appliances and commodities were also crossing oceans to compete globally, powered by Fengyi Technology's batteries.

Added to this was Lin Yi's background: a boy from a poor mountain village who gained admission to a university in Magic City.

Through hard work, he founded a high-tech enterprise.

This was exactly the positive role model that Magic City needed.

As for Lin Yi's substantial startup capital,

feedback from the banks indicated that the funds originated from the US stock market,

with all transaction records and procedures being fully legal and compliant;

one could only say that this young fellow was also a financial expert.

However, what pleased Wang Mingqiao even more was that,

after securing several rounds of startup capital from the US stock market, Lin Yi never engaged in further financial speculation.

Instead, he dedicated himself steadfastly to real industry.

This was how an enterprise like Fengyi Technology came to be.

Wang Mingqiao held great admiration for such a young person.

Although financial speculation involves some clever shortcuts, for a young person to understand when to stop and not become deeply entangled in it was quite remarkable.

Not falling deeply into it was truly impressive.

Therefore, Wang Mingqiao had made this special trip amidst his busy schedule.

On one hand, he indeed wanted to conduct an inspection to assess the true quality of this enterprise.

On the other hand, he was here to show support for the company.

This was to prevent any petty villains from harboring ill intentions upon seeing Fengyi Technology's growth.

After all, there was that minor official, Deputy Director Guo, whose home yielded 100 million in cash, with total embezzlement exceeding 300 million,

The affairs concerning his son were still vivid in his mind.

If not for Fengyi Technology being a military cooperative unit, and for District Head Deng's report,

he, Wang Mingqiao, would still be unaware that such an outstanding enterprise as Fengyi Technology existed in Modu.

Even less would he know how recklessly and lawlessly certain officials below behaved.

For this reason, Secretary Wang, in a fit of rage at the time, dealt with over a hundred officials in Modu.

And this time, Secretary Wang had come specifically to see who would dare trouble Fengyi Technology again.

In fact, upon seeing the top leader of Modu arrive to lend his support,

and engage in close conversation with Lin Yi,

those officials who had previously harbored second thoughts completely backed down.

It was plainly evident that Modu's top leader held this company in very high regard;

otherwise, how could he possibly condescend to visit a company for inspection?

Thus, in an instant, Lin Yi's Fengyi Technology became a taboo subject in Modu.

Anyone wishing to cause trouble would absolutely need to weigh whether their own background was substantial enough.
