Zhang Hao showed a hint of determination: "There is no way. If we want to surpass BYD, we can only find another way. Don't worry, my wife, I am very confident in graphene batteries. As long as we persevere, there will always be a day of success."
"Hua Qing, Xiaohao's vision has always been very accurate."
Zhou Jianneng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Zhang Hao, I believe you are the one!" Yang Huaqing quickly encouraged him, then stood up and said: "You two uncles chat slowly, I'm going to cook. Uncle Zhou, don't rush back later, just stay and eat together.
Let’s have dinner together and let Zhang Hao accompany you for a couple of drinks. This will be considered a celebration.”
"Okay, you're welcome then. I'll try Hua Qing's cooking skills by the way."
Zhou Jianneng smiled and nodded.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sneered: "Uncle Zhou, I'm not bragging to you. Hua Qing's cooking skills are absolutely unparalleled. They are better than my mother's cooking skills. I guarantee that you will still want to eat after eating."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm leaving."
Seeing Yang Huaqing leave, Zhou Jianneng quickly put away his smile and looked solemn:
"Xiaohao, Wang Chuanxi and the others have already taken action. How should we respond next?"
"Uncle Zhou, what do you always think about?"
Zhang Hao wants to ask for the other party’s opinion.
After all, his biggest disadvantage is his lack of experience.
Zhou Jianneng sighed: "In terms of lithium batteries, BYD is already far ahead. We will not be able to catch up with them in a short period of time. Now we are in big trouble."
"Yes, I originally planned to develop in a wretched way, but now it seems that it won't work." Zhang Hao shook his head.
The new battery launched by BYD not only greatly improves performance, but also reduces the cost by 10%, directly changing the industry structure.
As a result, many large and small battery manufacturers, including Minde Times, have completely lost their competitiveness.
Zhou Jianneng said with a wry smile: "The two of them are the top two car companies and have strong technical reserves. I am not surprised at all to launch new batteries this time.
Now, the pressure is all on us. Based on my years of experience, we have only one choice now, and that is to do the work for them."
"OEM? Are they willing?"
After all, the two families have festivals and are also competitors.
"At this moment and at that moment, don't forget that the federation is still in a state of emergency. The batteries on the market have long been out of stock. As long as we restore production capacity, the higher authorities cannot let it go."
Zhou Jianneng analyzed.
Zhang Hao immediately nodded: "Uncle Zhou, what you said does make sense. Let's contact BYD first and see what their conditions are.
I only have one request: the profit margin cannot be too low, and we cannot work for them in vain. For now, our first task is to increase production capacity, which can be regarded as an explanation to Mayor Jiao and shareholders."
"What if their conditions are very harsh?"
"Since they don't give face, don't blame us for being rude. Now is the era of planned economy, and it is impossible for the government to stick to the old rules. When the time comes, we will contact a group of battery manufacturers, and everyone will unite to force them to come forward and let the government come forward to solve the problem.
However, if it really comes to that, the batteries we produce will not be theirs. You might as well explain it clearly to them. Cooperation will be beneficial to both parties. I hope they will not make mistakes."
Zhang Hao patiently warned.
Zhou Jianneng patted his thigh excitedly: "Hey, hey, I thought of it together. If Wang Chuanxi doesn't know what he's doing, don't blame us for using our righteousness to hit him."
"I guess BYD will agree. They are all old foxes in the shopping mall. They only look at the pros and cons in everything and are unlikely to act out of impulse."
Zhang Hao said with confidence.
"Okay, I will contact them tomorrow. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. BYD is probably already trying to rebuild the production line." Zhou Jianneng nodded.
……
The next afternoon, BYD headquarters.
Wang Chuanxi specially called Li Shufu and Sterling back to discuss with them whether to agree to the cooperation request from the Minde era.
"Lao Li, Sterling, what do you two think?"
Sterling couldn't help but be surprised: "The Fujian-De era changed hands so quickly?"
"Well, I just received the news that Zhang Hao's acquisition of Minde is a foregone conclusion. However, we are still superior in technology, forcing them to bow their heads. Now they want to seek cooperation..."
Li Shufu directly interrupted: "Since you have offended Zhang Hao, you should not show mercy. It is best to take this opportunity to completely beat him back to his original form."
"It's not easy to bankrupt Zhang Hao. Not to mention anything else, Shuguang New Energy Company has a great background, and it's impossible for the higher-ups to watch him go bankrupt.
Besides, as far as I know, Zhang Hao’s personal investment in their acquisition was not much. Even if we squeeze Minde Times into bankruptcy, the other party’s losses will be limited.”
Wang Chuanxi quickly explained.
"Don't forget that there is Southeast Fisheries. It is said that every day makes money, Zhang Hao is a very extraordinary person, and it will definitely not happen overnight if you want to bring him down."
Sterling then added.
He personally prefers cooperation.
There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the business, only permanent interests.
Wang Chuanxi nodded and agreed: "Sterling is right. Zhang Hao's main business was not Zhang Hao's in the Minde era. His main business was related to agriculture. It seems to be extremely stable and has almost no flaws."
"Do you two have to think about it? Zhang Hao is too young. Once he really grows up, he will definitely become a serious problem for us."
Li Shufu frowned and reminded.
"Alas, Lao Li, you are wrong. Zhang Hao is already a big crocodile, and he is backed by the Laoshan Chamber of Commerce, so the resources at his disposal are not much worse than ours.
Besides, there is no deep hatred between the two of us, so there is no need to fight to the death. It would actually be good to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between the two parties."
Wang Chuanxi persuaded him earnestly.
Li Shufu thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I still don't think it's right. Zhang Hao is a very evil guy. He basically succeeds in everything he does. You can't be too careful."
"Ahem, Lao Li, let me tell you the truth. If we don't agree with them, they will report it to the relevant departments above us and force us to authorize production for them."
"Why?" Li Shufu said angrily.
"Because we are still in a state of emergency, they have many means to obtain patent authorization. Instead of blindly rejecting them, we might as well use it for our own purposes. In this way, we can focus on automobile production."
Wang Chuanxi said helplessly.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate." Li Shufu hammered the table angrily: "It's an advantage for them, but the profits must be blocked and they must not be given the opportunity to become bigger and stronger. This is crucial."
"Of course, OEM is just for making hard money, and it won't become a big deal."
Wang Chuanxi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
