Chapter 310 We can create a big situation together
The institute achieved this breakthrough thanks to some patents it acquired last year.
Teruo Ikeda wrote a report to Gao Jin and was approved. Xinghai Technology spent more than 430 million euros to acquire more than 300 patented technologies related to silicon materials and solar panels around the world.
The Solar Energy Research Institute has also expanded, with the number of R&D personnel increasing from more than 60 to 212 in one go.
More than 100 senior talents have joined, speeding up the research and development of many projects.
A doctor named Qianli Yasu conducted research on carbon light absorption based on the graphite light absorption theory. This new idea received strong support from Teruo Ikeda.
Kang Qianli was directly transferred to his own team to carry out research in this area.
Carbon is not an ideal optical material. Activated carbon, graphite, and amorphous carbon are all substances with large molecular gaps, and their ability to absorb visible light is not bad.
However, this makes no physical sense.
The principle that solar panels can generate electricity is that after the photovoltaic panels absorb sunlight, they convert solar radiation energy into direct current, and then convert the direct current into alternating current through the photovoltaic inverter.
The generated electricity can be stored directly in the battery or integrated into the grid through an inverter.
Fusing graphite materials with silicon materials is a difficult problem.
This kind of problem is a big problem for humans, but it is not a big problem for the protoss. Ikeda Teruo had a discussion with Gao Jin and got the correct guidance.
Teruo Ikeda now has both fame and fortune. He has won great honors in the world with the products of Shengguang Solar Energy Company. He can be said to be an authority in solar panel research and development.
It is also a recognized authority.
Although he did not win the Nobel Prize, Teruo Ikeda is satisfied with his current fame.
With fame, there is also profit.
The bonuses and year-end bonuses Ikeda Teruo has received in recent years add up to more than 50 million RMB. If converted into R yuan, he is definitely a billionaire.
Since the beginning of last year, Yu Jingjie has helped Teruo Ikeda and his wife and children submit their applications to the naturalization application office and formally apply for Chinese citizenship.
Teruo Ikeda has disposed of all RB's properties, and his wife and children have moved to Tsuwei City. He also gave himself a Chinese name, Chi Shichang.
China has a special policy for the naturalization of internationally renowned senior technical personnel. If nothing goes wrong, a family will be able to obtain official Chinese nationality by the end of this year.
"General manager, I think this matter must be discussed with the chairman in advance." Mei Zhongcheng looked at Yu Jingjie and said this with profound meaning.
"Mei, our Shengguang Solar Energy Company is an independent company, and I think we can completely solve this matter."
Jennifer said something on the side and expressed her own opinion.
Once this product comes out, after some packaging operations, Shengguang Solar Energy Company will definitely become a global clean energy giant.
If the matter is reported to the parent company, the person responsible for operating the matter may not be you.
Jennifer is very clear about the value of this new technology.
"General Manager, let me say something"
"This technology is not yet stable. We have only preliminary integration in the laboratory. It will take time to achieve mass production."
"I support Mr. Mei's opinion. It would be better to discuss this matter with the chairman in advance."
Teruo Ikeda spoke at the side, agreeing with Mei Zhongcheng's opinion that the report should be reported first. With the support of the headquarters, whatever the next step is, it will be much easier.
"Ikeda, please speed up the research and development progress here. I will report this matter to the chairman in a moment."
"Jennifer, you can make a promotion plan in advance. This matter must be kept confidential. Once our product is launched, you must come up with a promotion plan as soon as possible."
"Ok, no problem"
Teruo Ikeda and Jennifer said these words very seriously.
Yu Jingjie is not worried about Jennifer leaking secrets. The confidentiality agreement signed by Jennifer with the company is very strict. If she breaches the confidentiality agreement and leaks secrets, she will be compensated 500 million euros and bear legal liability.
Several people discussed for a while and then broke up the meeting. Yu Jingjie began to make preparations, planning to go to the Imperial Capital in person tomorrow to tell Gao Jin about the matter.
For the sake of confidentiality, no words will be left on this matter for the time being.
Canada, Light Source Solar Energy Corporation, Chairman's Office.
Leo, the company's chairman, was talking to Kraft, the head of the company's research institute.
Kraft was originally a professor at xxxx University in Canada. Before the rise of Shengguang Solar, the world's most efficient solar panel was built by Kraft's team.
Kraft took out a loan to establish a small solar panel production company, producing a little every year to maintain high profits, which brought great economic benefits to Kraft.
After the rise of Shengguang Solar, Kraft's life became a bit difficult.
RB, China, and some European countries canceled their orders and handed over the orders to Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
Because Shengguang Solar's products have surpassed Kraft's products in terms of performance and are half the price, it is reasonable to cancel the order.
At this time, Leo, the chairman of Light Source Solar Company, found Kraft. After several negotiations, Light Source Solar Company spent US$50 million to acquire Kraft's solar panel company.
Kraft also resigned from the school and officially joined the research institute under the Light Source Solar Energy Company to concentrate on developing the next generation of products.
The reason why Kraft came to Leo today is simple: Kraft has made a breakthrough.
The efficiency of the new generation of solar panels is 15% higher than that of Shengguang Solar Company's products.
The two discussed for a while, and a smile appeared on Leo's face. His investment had already seen the dawn of returns.
"Kraft, tell me the truth, how much does it cost?"
"Does your new product involve the patents of Shengguang Solar Energy Company?" Leo looked into Kraft's eyes and asked.
Kraft hesitated and began to tell the truth.
"It involves five patented technologies of Shengguang Solar Energy Company, and the cost is a little higher than the current Shengguang Company products."
"Higher, how much higher specifically?" Leo asked immediately, not daring to relax at all.
"Four times" Kraft said this bravely,
Leo's eyes widened. Damn it, you are treating me like a monkey. Your price is four times higher!
Four times the cost means it’s a little higher. Was your math taught by a physical education teacher?
"Leo, this is just the initial cost. I need time. I believe the cost can be reduced after a while." Kraft looked at Leo and said this.
"How long is a period of time?"
"Kraft, your cost gives us no advantage. Currently, Canadian and American space agencies still purchase our products, because you know very well."
"They won't accept this price."
"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. If you continue research and development, the company will continue to support you."
"I hope you will make a breakthrough within a year and completely reduce costs."
"Kraft, you own 7% of the group's shares. You know very well how much these shares are worth."
"When you reduce costs, I guarantee that you will become a real billionaire in minutes, and you can truly retire."
"You can take those beautiful models to a beach vacation in Hawaii"
"The wealth you acquire will allow you to enjoy the rest of your life luxuriously..."
Even though Kraft is still young, he still spends a lot of money. The Light Source Company provides Kraft with a relaxation fund of up to 10,000 US dollars every month.
Leo knew Kraft's intention in telling him this. According to the contract, once Kraft made a breakthrough, the performance of the products developed by Kraft would exceed the best products of Shengguang Solar Company.
The Light Source Company needed to give Kraft a one-time bonus of 30 million US dollars. There was a loophole when signing the contract and they forgot to mention the cost issue.
At that time, Leo approached Kraft with a proposal to modify the contract, but Kraft rejected it.
Kraft knew in his heart that he was not too young and he was not sure whether he could break through. If he did, it would cost him 30 million US dollars.
How could he possibly re-sign the contract and limit himself from giving up this money?
Therefore, now Leo can only say this to stabilize Kraft, and then think of ways to solve this problem.
"Okay, I agree with your plan for the time being."
Kraft agreed. Leo was stunned and glanced at Kraft. How could this LSP be so easy to talk to?
"I am confident that we can bring down the cost within a year or so." Kraft looked at Leo and said this calmly, and Leo's eyes immediately lit up.
If Kraft can really do it, it would be totally trivial for the company to give it $30 million.
At that time, the company will earn 300 million, 3 billion, or even 30 billion U.S. dollars in profits, and that kind of dark method can be completely abandoned.
"Kraft, I have always believed that together we can create a big situation and we can all become billionaires,"
"And your name will be engraved in the history of human development............."
"As long as you have research needs, funding is not a problem. No matter how difficult the company is, your R&D funds will be fully guaranteed..."
Leo deceived him, causing Kraft to leave in a daze. After seeing Kraft off, Leo breathed a long sigh of relief.
On the way back to the office, he said to his secretary, "Immediately issue a notice to convene an emergency board meeting at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. All directors will be present."
"Okay" the secretary agreed and turned around and walked towards his small office.
With a "pop" sound, Leo slapped the secretary's buttocks.
The secretary turned around and rolled his eyes at Leo, then turned around and continued walking towards the office, you three-second straight man, if I didn't need this high-paying job, I would have sued you.
Leo raised his hand and smelled his own hand, then entered his office feeling relaxed.
Not long after, the notice for the emergency board meeting of Guangyuan Solar Energy Company was sent out. The secretary personally called several major directors and asked them to come and attend the meeting.
