once the price is settled, place an initial order for two million units to test the waters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Chairman Ren!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dong replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Old Yu boarded a plane with his mission and flew to Modu; the moment he disembarked, he headed straight for the Entrepreneurship Center in Songjiang District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the conference room, as soon as both parties met, they launched into a tense, sword-drawn negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after several hours:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>12000 mAh, 199 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the cost of Lin Yi's battery phone, it included the plastic upper and lower casings, the protection circuit board, the resettable fuse, and the battery cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the cobalt-free technology, the combined cost of these components did not exceed eight yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cost was roughly half that of current mobile phone lithium batteries,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, despite such large capacity, the volume of the new lithium battery was only half that of the original,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which meant there would be surplus space inside the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed for the addition of new phone components,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the selling price to Huawei was so high this time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was, on one hand, because it was a new product; once Huawei announced the release of its new phone, it would create a huge buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Huawei also hoped that by setting a high price, they could demonstrate their sincerity to Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they could secure more production capacity from Fengyi Technology in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, not yet under sanctions, Huawei was flush with cash and unafraid to spend; the mere hype of the super battery was equivalent to advertising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that regardless of the battery's cost, Huawei would further mark up the price when selling the phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Huawei, this was a guaranteed profit with no loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Huawei's initial order of two million battery units was placed with Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transaction amounted to 300 million Chinese yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huawei had already transferred a deposit of 50 million,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Huawei required Fengyi Technology to deliver all batteries within six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Yi thought for a moment and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, both parties held a press conference announcing the cooperation between Fengyi Technology and Huawei, with Fengyi Technology becoming one of Huawei's battery suppliers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the two sides signed a contract for an order worth 300 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the collaboration between Fengyi Technology and Huawei,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengyi Technology's fame skyrocketed almost overnight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Lin Yi became famous across the land in a single stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: For this new book, I beg for flowers, tips, and review tickets;

A senior named Lin Yi founded an amazing company; even Huawei has placed orders with them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Yi? You mean Boss Lin? Damn... how did Boss Lin suddenly become so awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a male student searched online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens! In their eyes, the rather decent Boss Lin had already topped the trending searches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had just secured a 300 million cooperation deal with Huawei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply a cow standing on its head—absolutely mind-blowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined that someone who was just an ordinary student a while ago would become a billionaire in the blink of an eye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary student, this transformation was far too spectacular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With various internet pushes and posts on the campus BBS forum,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire Modu University of Technology was shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeking Senior Lin's WeChat ID; I am fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone have Junior Lin's contact number?
