Chapter 65: Liu Qingli's Plan (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Su Xin opened the document and began to read.

Liu Qingli, meanwhile, gave a brief introduction from the side:

"The release of the Solid-state Battery will undoubtedly disrupt the market and cause a global sensation, but the automotive market is simply too vast. If our Solid-state Battery is to quickly capture the market, relying solely on this one factory under Tianqi Energy is definitely not enough, because production capacity cannot keep up at all; even acquiring one or two more factories would be of no help."

"Therefore, our most important task next is expansion, and significant expansion at that, so as to ensure we capture the market as quickly as possible and let the Solid-state Battery enter every household."

"But all our current funds come only from Tianqi Technology, and currently, there are only 400 million in funds on Tianqi Technology's books. Even adding the monthly revenue of over a billion, it cannot support the rapid expansion of Tianqi Energy."

"Therefore, capital is the greatest shackle currently limiting our development."

When Liu Qingli reached this point in her introduction, Su Xin happened to see the page regarding the solution for funding in the document.

Just listening to Liu Qingli continue:

"The simplest solution to resolve the funding problem is loans. Given Tianqi Technology's current revenue and development situation, major banks are dying for us to apply for large-scale loans."

"What's more, didn't the leader tell you when he came to inspect and visit last time? If you have any problems, just go to him. As long as you speak up, getting a low-interest or even interest-free loan shouldn't be difficult."

"The second option is to use financial means to short several major car companies on the stock market."

"Once the Solid-state Battery Technology is released, it will not only shock the whole world but also cause stock market volatility. Especially for those top car companies that focus on fuel vehicles, as well as some highly related enterprises, such as those for transmissions, their stock prices will surely collapse. As long as we short them heavily on the stock market in advance, we will definitely be able to bite off a huge chunk of meat from them and earn a large amount of capital."

"Besides this, with the release of the Solid-state Battery Technology, those new energy battery manufacturers will also face a huge crisis."

"And after we have gathered enough funds, we can take the opportunity to acquire those manufacturers at a low price or original price. They have no reason to refuse, and we can expand our production capacity as quickly as possible."

"In this way, capital and production capacity will both be secured. Tianqi Energy will capture the market in the shortest possible time and become an irreplaceable behemoth in the new energy vehicle industry."

"After capital and production capacity are sufficient, the only thing that could potentially affect our actual output is the supply of raw materials, which we can also find ways to solve once and for all..."

Liu Qingli recounted the entire plan in detail.

"Good, let's proceed according to your plan. I will talk to the leader about the loan later."

Su Xin smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the plan proposed by Liu Qingli.

According to his previous vision, he was prepared to first release the Solid-state Battery Technology, attract major new energy vehicle manufacturers to join, let Tianqi Energy start production and make money as soon as possible, and then proceed with the next step of expansion after having sufficient funds, allowing the Solid-state Battery Technology to gradually become popularized.

But step-by-step development is ultimately too slow.

Moreover, once the expansion speed is too slow, after the existing major traditional car companies react, they will certainly not easily accept their fate and will inevitably hinder Tianqi Energy's expansion through various means, such as supply chain suppression, launching public opinion cognitive warfare, or various insidious off-field tactics.

When traditional car companies with market values of hundreds of billions or trillions are pushed to the brink, the madness that erupts will likely exceed the imagination of ordinary people.

Although it might not necessarily harm Tianqi Technology, it would still bring some trouble.

And according to Liu Qingli's plan, it would be possible to cut through the Gordian knot with a sharp blade, rapidly becoming the largest, top-tier, and irreplaceable power battery supplier in the new energy vehicle industry, leaving major car companies with no time to react.

Furthermore, as long as the expansion speed is fast enough, one can win over a large number of new energy vehicle companies and upstream and downstream suppliers through supply partnerships, making those enterprises spontaneously protect Tianqi Energy and forming a massive force with Tianqi Energy as the core.

This kind of plan is both fast and secure.

Su Xin naturally knew how to choose.

It must be said that having a suitable executive like Liu Qingli to provide him with strategic advice can indeed make him much more relaxed and make the company's development more steady and rapid.

After Liu Qingli left, Su Xin dialed Sun Chengtian's private number and brought up the matter of wanting to apply for a large-scale loan.

The latter laughed and said, "President Su, your Tianqi Technology is a famous hen that lays golden eggs; why do you need a large-scale loan? Are you preparing to enter the industrial sector?"

Su Xin smiled and said, "The leader guessed right. I acquired a new energy power battery factory a few days ago, and there has been a small breakthrough in technology. I am preparing to raise some funds for expansion so that we can mass-produce on a large scale and capture the market as soon as possible."

Sun Chengtian was startled.

He was usually extremely busy and had not paid attention to the expansion of Su Xin's company.

However, Su Xin entering the new energy power battery industry was not strange; after all, this industry was currently red-hot, and Su Xin had a large amount of liquid capital on hand, so it was normal for them to hit it off.

But the problem was, he had just acquired a new energy battery factory, and now the technology had already broken through? And he was preparing to take out a loan to expand and mass-produce on a large scale?

It sounded too unreliable, didn't it?

After all, the new energy battery industry was currently an extremely hot market worldwide, with a huge number of competing enterprises, many of which were multinational conglomerates with market values of hundreds of billions. There was even no lack of large groups pouring all their efforts into research in the new energy field in order to achieve a breakthrough.

Even the authorities of several countries were vigorously supporting it through various policies.

Under such circumstances, Su Xin had just entered the new energy battery industry, and he was confident in achieving a leading technological advantage? He wanted to capture the market?

Sun Chengtian was speechless for a moment.

If the other party were not Su Xin, he would have hung up the phone directly at this moment; after all, he had no time to listen to others bragging nonsensically.

However, thinking of the miracle of Su Xin developing the Tiantian Assistant on his own, and thinking of what the Military had told him about Su Xin's technical level and value, he hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:

"You said there was a small breakthrough in technology; do you have the confidence to lead other manufacturers on the market? You know, there are quite a few people researching this right now."

Su Xin smiled: "Don't worry, leader. I never brag. Since I said the technology has had a breakthrough and I dare to take out a loan to expand, naturally, I have the most advanced technology on the market."

Sun Chengtian's heart stirred, and he asked:

"Could it be that you have already developed mass-producible Solid-state Battery Technology?"

In his view, the only thing that had a chance of realizing the claim of having the most advanced new energy battery technology on the market currently was the Solid-state Battery!

Su Xin was noncommittal and just smiled faintly: "The new technology is currently applying for a patent, and I will definitely give the leader a surprise when the time comes."

Sun Chengtian laughed.

Although Su Xin did not answer directly, he was basically able to confirm that this so-called new technology was eight or nine times out of ten the Solid-state Battery Technology.

However, he also knew that this kind of news was a major trade secret, so he did not blame Su Xin for not answering directly.

"Good! Since President Su has confidence and drive, I will naturally fully support President Su's development. After all, you are now one of the representatives of Tianjing's high-tech Demonstration Enterprise."

"I will arrange the loan matter as soon as possible. I will send you the contact information of the commissioner then, and you can arrange for someone to communicate with the commissioner directly."

Sun Chengtian said readily.

Although it was somewhat unbelievable that the Solid-state Battery Technology could be developed so quickly, given Su Xin's various past performances and the importance the Military placed on him, Sun Chengtian still chose to believe Su Xin's words and decided to fully support Su Xin's expansion.
