Chapter 011 Aiming at New Energy
If you want to increase the value of a software, you need to launch endless new technologies or various functions in the short term. If the core technology is too strong, users will naturally join in a steady stream. At the same time, it also sends out this signal: the company's team's development capabilities are absolutely not weak.
The more effective the giants will naturally pay more attention. The major companies competing with each other will definitely not want to see their products fall into the hands of other competitors, which will lead them to a year or even longer technological leadership. Losing valuable user groups will almost ruin their future.
Meng Qian, who is well aware of this, is working hard to develop.
The first version of the optimization master is just a test of the product. The second version to be launched has learned the functions of the giant APP and continuously improved it. At the same time, it also considers adding voice recognition functions to make users' operations more interesting. Then launch functions in the application market to facilitate downloading of software.
Things are going on in full swing, and Meng Qian has already spent all his money.
It was a bet, but he had a high chance of winning.
...
During the rest of the time, Meng Qian was considering his future plans.
A company valued software by 20 million, and he had entered the must-earning field. But software is not the business he wants to run at the moment. After selling shares to cash out, he needs to choose a field he likes with huge potential and abundant profits... Where is it?
The ringtone of the cell phone interrupted his thoughts.
Zhang Bing called it, which was undoubtedly a technical issue, and Meng Qian continued to provide telephone guidance.
After I got it done, I used my phone to surf the Internet, hoping to find some inspiration. But I had no intention, so I clicked on the website to watch the jokes, and then watched the video. After tossing and trying, I couldn't find the idea, but the phone's battery was consumed more than half and I had to charge it again.
On the way to find the charger, he suddenly felt like he was grabbing the flash point.
"New energy?"
The electricity was no longer charged, he sat down and his mind began to rotate at high speed.
The most common thing to shrink the area is mobile phone batteries. As we all know, the technology of smartphones has been improving, but the battery capacity cannot keep up. It is a miracle for users of heavy mobile phones to support a day. The life of bringing a charger when going out has to be a problem, which has troubled countless people.
In addition to mobile phones, other mobile devices, such as tablets, notebooks, and even larger cars, all have serious demand for breakthrough new batteries. However, battery companies around the world have been disappointing people... Meng Qian saw the unlimited business opportunities here.
This is a typical case where the competitors are not strong and the market is huge. Although the largest manufacturer of lithium batteries is in Japan, other companies can also build it, and even the technology is not weak. Therefore, the giants in this field have poor core strength. Once new technologies are released, a monopoly situation will inevitably be formed.
He hid at home and laid out plans.
Although he knows that the advanced technology in his head is very strong, he cannot be reckless in doing things. He lists technical issues, capital issues, market demand considerations, etc. Technology and capital are currently very stable, and as for market issues, the demand volume is terrifying.
According to statistics online, based on mobile phone shipments in the first three quarters, it is expected that global smartphone shipments will exceed 1 billion in 2013, and the corresponding demand for batteries will also rise. Meng Qian does not have that great ambition. If he can supply 10% of the equipment batteries, he will also send them.
It is precisely because of the gap in the market in this regard that he decided to join in it.
The most important thing about battery technology is material problems. The predicted substitutes include aluminum, magnesium, graphene, etc., but the requirements for material manufacturing are too high. Meng Qian is still limited in funds now, so he definitely cannot do so advanced. He has to consider both cost and difficulty.
He filtered it in his mind and had a goal.
The goal is still a lithium-ion system, but it is based on the upgrade of lithium battery technology, adjusting the electrode structure, adding certain compounds, and using some organic materials... According to theory, it should be able to increase the capacity by three to four times while reducing the charging time.
Of course, theory and practice are different, so he has to do it himself.
...
He planned to register a business, but that would take time. He was eager to verify his ideas, so he turned his attention to universities or enterprises - their battery labs, which was a good choice. He could find ways to rent it out, and believed that it would still be feasible under the influence of money.
It is not difficult to find a laboratory, but he is studying in a university.
Haida University (fiction) is a key institution with certain attainments in battery research.
Meng Qian contacted the teacher in charge of management to explain the purpose of the visit and the premise of paid use, so that the problem can be easily solved.
The management teacher mentioned some rules and safety regulations for use, and Meng Qian also went around and got it familiar. Although it was not this major, he had absorbed a lot in his mind. After converting it into his own skills, he quickly overcame his unfamiliarity. The teacher looked at it for a while and left with confidence.
Meng Qian began to show off his fists.
The research on lithium batteries is divided into two parts: materials and process.
Materials are positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, diaphragms, electrolytes, etc. This is what Meng Qian wants to do. Although there is a correct solution, it may have to be repeated many times before mastering it. As for the process, it mainly involves the production of battery cells, the level of process, and the difference in battery is obvious.
Meng Qian, who was born in science, is familiar with experiments. He chooses the materials he needs and works hard.
The days in the laboratory are very boring. Screening materials, formulating plans, and carefully distinguishing the battery cells, slight differences may affect the final result; then he checks the circuit protection, packaging, and records the performance and stability of each group.
The most troublesome thing is the innovation of battery cells - it is the power core of the battery. Some materials laboratories do not have one, and they have to be specially ordered, and even some are not in China. Meng Qian faces a dilemma of developing himself or finding alternatives... The steps in his mind are just a few moments, but reality is difficult.
...
New technologies are not easy to develop.
It is not a small workshop to produce batteries, but Meng Qian has experienced it with his own eyes. The merchants selling counterfeit mobile phone batteries can be customized, the shape and capacity can be customized. The boss will make it for ten minutes as required and do it yourself and make the DIY battery immediately. Of course, no products can be guaranteed.
He encountered the problem of the materials and had to stop.
During this period, my phone rang several times, including calls from school and company.
The school was called by a counselor. Meng Qian failed the elective course last semester and had not completed two credits, so the teacher automatically helped him choose the course this semester. Of course, he also took care of these people who were already working. The courses were all taken at night, so he didn't forget it.
Meng Qian agreed and then forgot everything the next day.
If you make a lot of money, do you still care about a bachelor's degree?
As for the company's phone number, Liang Tao informed him that a venture capital company had contacted him recently.
Meng Qian's reply was: "Currently, I value the company between 30 million and 40 million. If you ask them directly for the quotation, you will refuse if you are not satisfied."
"I understand." Liang Tao said.
Meng Qian put down his phone and continued to focus on battery research.
