Chapter 498

"You came, why bring things?" Wu Hongkang took the gift bag from Zhou Andong's hand.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I bought this for your wife, it has nothing to do with you."

Wu Hongkang laughed heartily and looked at Seeing Jian Qiu: "Who is this?"

Zhou Andong said: "My girlfriend, Seeing Jian Qiu!"

"Oh my!" Wu Hongkang put the things down, reached out, and shook hands with Seeing Jian Qiu: "Director Zhou, you are truly blessed to have found such a beautiful girlfriend."

Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile: "Director Wu, you flatter me. It is I who am blessed to be with our Dongzi."

Wu Hongkang looked at Zhou Andong and said with great emotion: "You really have found a good wife."

At this moment, the man had already stood up. Zhou Andong found him more and more familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was.

"Chuanfu, come, let me introduce you." Wu Hongkang greeted the man, "This is the Chairman of the Jiangzhou Yugong Group, Zhou Andong. I'm used to calling him Director Zhou."

"Hello, Chairman Zhou!" The man shook hands with Zhou Andong very humbly.

Looking at the man in front of him wearing glasses, with a thin build and a scholarly air, hearing Wu Hongkang's introduction, a figure of a man who had put on weight in his mind instantly overlapped with the man in front of him.

Damn, it turned out to be Boss Wang of BYD, the famous Brother Chuanfu. No wonder he looked familiar but he couldn't recall. He was too young now, and he couldn't match him with the middle-aged uncle who had put on weight later.

He should be working at the Metal Research Institute now. Because the 'Big Brother' mobile phone was popular all over the country, the battery industry had become a noble industry. Having a background in material technology, he had the idea of founding a battery company very early on, but he had never been able to make up his mind.

In a few days, he would be sent to Shencheng on a business trip, where he would feel the vitality of Shencheng. The second year after returning, that is, he would quit his 'iron rice bowl' and establish BYD.

At this time, the global mobile phone rechargeable battery market was monopolized by Japanese companies. Boss Wang entered the lithium battery industry with full passion and successfully developed the first secondary rechargeable lithium battery in China...

But an automatic nickel-chromium battery production line cost tens of millions, and he couldn't afford it. He could only use the demographic dividend to transform the automatic machine production line into a semi-automatic manual production line.

He decomposed every process into several workstations, completed by skilled workers, and the entire production line only invested more than one million yuan. Using this 'millet + rifle' model, he earned his first pot of gold.

In the subsequent lithium battery market battle, he reduced the cost of a lithium battery that cost eight to ten US dollars in the international market to two yuan, becoming the first Chinese battery supplier for Motorola and Nokia, changing the landscape of the world lithium battery market.

In 2002, BYD was listed in Xiangjiang. In 2003, Boss Wang set his sights on the automobile market and wanted to invest heavily to develop his own technology.

But this idea was looked down upon by the investment community and opposed by many people. The stock price once fell by 50%, and it was even called by the media as ignorant and fearless, a reckless advance without knowing the depth.

But at this time, no one would know that Boss Wang would succeed and lead BYD Auto to the world.

"Come, come, sit!" Wu Hongkang greeted everyone to sit down.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen, and Wu Hongkang said: "This is your sister-in-law!"

Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu stood up: "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you too!" Liu Xiuyan put down the fruit plate in her hand, "You guys eat some fruit first, dinner will be ready soon."

"Sister-in-law, is there anything left to do? I'll help you." Seeing Jian Qiu stood up and followed her to the kitchen.

"No, no!" Liu Xiuyan pushed Seeing Jian Qiu back to the sofa, "You sit, there's nothing left to do."

Wu Hongkang poured a cup of tea for Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu: "Director Zhou, what is your opinion on the secondary rechargeable lithium battery industry?"

Sure enough, Zhou Andong was prepared when he saw Boss Wang.

"The prospects are very broad."

Zhou Andong didn't say much, but these words made Boss Wang's eyes light up: "Chairman Zhou, can you elaborate?"

Zhou Andong said: "At present, the application of secondary rechargeable lithium batteries is not very widespread, but with the development of wireless communication technology, the market for secondary rechargeable lithium batteries will be unimaginably large."

Boss Wang said excitedly, "Yes, I am optimistic about the future market of the 'Big Brother' mobile phone, so I decided to develop lithium batteries."

Wu Hongkang said: "Chuanfu is a researcher at the Metal Research Institute. He has always wanted to quit his job and go into business, but he has never been able to make up his mind. A few days ago, he received a notice from the institute's leadership that he was going to Shencheng on a business trip. He didn't know when he would be back, so he asked me about the prospects of the future lithium battery industry and whether I could invest if he went into business.

I really don't understand these things, so I thought of you and wanted to ask your opinion and if you wanted to invest, so I arranged this meeting today."

"Invest!" Zhou Andong said without hesitation: "The prospects for lithium batteries are very broad, why not invest?"

Hearing Zhou Andong's words, Boss Wang was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands.

"Chairman Zhou, how much can you invest?"

Zhou Andong asked: "How much do you want?"

"Ah?" Boss Wang was stunned, then reacted, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and held up two fingers, "Two million!"

Zhou Andong shook his head slightly, Boss Wang's heart sank: "Then, one... one million is also fine."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "How much have you raised yourself?"

Boss Wang shook his head: "I haven't raised a single cent."

"What can two million do?" Zhou Andong looked at Wu Hongkang, "Do you plan to invest?"

Wu Hongkang smiled: "If you don't invest, I will invest a little, but if you invest, I will invest more."

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment: "Ten million, ten percent, you choose how much you want for three percent."

Boss Wang said without hesitation: "Ten million!"

Zhou Andong looked at Wu Hongkang: "What about you?"

Wu Hongkang gave a wry smile: "I don't have the courage like you, Director Zhou. I can only take out ten thousand, and this still needs to be discussed in a meeting."

Zhou Andong said: "Believe me, if you take out another million, you won't regret it."

Wu Hongkang held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and hesitated for a long while before saying: "Alright, I'll invest twenty thousand, for..."

Boss Wang was so happy he almost jumped up. This was much, much better than he had expected. And with these ten million, he didn't need to go elsewhere, begging grandfathers and grandmothers to raise funds.

"I'll prepare the contract when I go back later. When shall we sign it?"

Zhou Andong said: "Aren't you going to Shencheng on a business trip?"

Boss Wang said: "Since Chairman Zhou and Director Wu have invested more than ten million, I will resign tomorrow. Why would I still go to Shencheng?"
