Chapter 991 Ningde battery came to you (one more chapter later today, before ten o'clock)
"I'm Xia Zekai, who are you? What do you want from me?" Xia Zekai was puzzled and a little alert, but he didn't recognize this middle-aged man with a bald forehead.
The other two people blocking the road also didn't know each other.
When the middle-aged man heard Xia Zekai's straightforward admission, he continued with a thick smile and a bit of pleading: "Mr. Xia, I am Zeng Yuqun, and this is Huang Shilin, the deputy general manager of our company.
This is Wang Kai, the vice president of technology of our company. Let’s spare Mr. Xia a little time. We have something very important that we want to talk to Mr. Xia alone.”
Xia Zekai was even more puzzled. These names were all unfamiliar to him, so he asked: "What company do you belong to, and what specific matter do you want to see me for?"
"Mr. Xia, we are from Ningde Battery Energy Co., Ltd. I am looking for Mr. Xia today mainly because I want to talk to Mr. Xia about your views on automobile power batteries." Zeng Yuqun said with a sincere face.
"Ningde Battery?" When Xia Zekai heard the name, his heart moved. He glanced at the exhibition hall next to him and saw the words "Ningde Battery" written on it. He thought to himself: "Could this be Ningde Battery?"
era?"
He had an impression of CATL at that time, and he knew about it from news reports. The news reports said that CATL's market value exceeded one trillion, making it the number one company on the GEM.
Just now I was thinking about the Ningde era, but I didn’t expect it to happen now?
The boss of the Ningde era seems to be named Zeng, but he doesn’t know his specific name. Could it be that he is the one in front of him?
He was not sure. He was thinking about something and showed a serious expression on his face. Zeng Yuqun said again: "Mr. Xia, we really have no other intentions. There is really something very important that we want to talk to Mr.
."
Luo Xiyun also looked at Zeng Yuqun and the three of them in confusion, and then at her husband Xia Zekai. She knew that when her husband looked like this, he was basically thinking about things and did not disturb him.
Xia Zekai came back to his senses and glanced around. Someone was already looking this way. Even He Xiufeng from BYD came over just now. He even asked: "Brother Xia, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Mr. Zeng has something to do with me. Let's talk first." Xia Zekai pointed at Zeng Yuqun and said.
He Xiufeng said 'hmm', and said very loyally: "Okay, Brother Xia, I'm next door, if you need anything, just call me."
"Haha, Brother He, let's have dinner together some other time." Xia Zekai laughed heartily. He thought He Xiufeng was quite interesting. He was a very straightforward man who was worth getting to know.
Watching Xia Zekai and his wife follow Zeng Yuqun into the Ningde Battery booth, the onlookers slowly dispersed. Only then did He Xiufeng notice that three young people also entered the booth.
He hadn't paid attention to this just now, but he always felt that he had overlooked something, and he kept thinking in his mind who was 'Brother Xia'?
Why does it always sound familiar?
But for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it. He muttered the name and returned to their BYD booth. While he was still frowning and thinking about it, a young girl in the booth asked: "Manager He
, what are you talking about?”
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm thinking of a name." He Xiufeng said.
The young girl Gao Xiaona is an employee of the company's sales department. She came here mainly as a handyman to sell cars and batteries. After hearing what senior technical manager He Xiufeng said, she became more and more curious and asked: "Manager He, what?
name?"
"Xia Zekai, I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere, but I just can't remember it at this critical moment." He Xiufeng was a little troubled.
As soon as Gao Xiaona heard the name, she immediately asked: "Manager He, do you think he is the one on the Forbes list of richest people in the world?"
"I remember that on the Internet, he and Country Garden Yang Huiyan were collectively called 'Nan Yang Bei Xia'. Hehe, I also called him Nan Murong Bei Qiao Feng. These netizens are really interesting." Gao Xiaona said, laughing to herself.
When she said this, the idea that had been flashing in He Xiufeng's head finally figured it out. He said with an 'ouch', "Why did I say it sounded so familiar? It turned out to be him."
But when he said it, he was dumbfounded again. He actually called himself a brother-in-law with the people on the Forbes rich list of the world, but they didn't dislike him yet, and he behaved very humbly from the beginning to the end.
This made He Xiufeng feel strange, but at the same time he was a little touched.
…
“Mr.
Think about Xia Zekai's identity, and then look at the identities of these three young people and you will know that they are bodyguards.
"What does Mr. Xia think of batteries?" Zeng Yuqun asked him next.
Without thinking, Xia Zekai said directly: "Mr. Zeng, since you recognize me, you should know that I mainly make snacks. You asked me what I think about batteries. To be honest, I don't.
Any opinions.”
Xia Zekai's confession made Zeng Yuqun and the three of them a little at a loss, but they were all people who had been through a lot. After a little panic, they calmed down.
Just as Huang Shilin was about to speak, he heard Xia Zekai continue: "But I know that for new energy vehicles, the battery is equivalent to its heart and source of power."
Zeng Yuqun smiled: "What Mr. Xia said is so apt, that's it."
"Our Ningde Battery is a company established just last year that specializes in making power batteries for new energy vehicles. This exhibition hall contains the latest products developed by our company..." Zeng Yuqun pointed to the various types of batteries displayed in the exhibition hall.
Explained a bit.
He then pointed at Huang Shilin and Wang Kai and said: "These two started their own business together with me. Our company aims to develop and manufacture optimized power batteries with more reliable performance and higher cruising range."
"Mr. Zeng, our company seems to have no need for your power batteries." Xia Zekai interrupted Zeng Yuqun's explanation at the right time.
Zeng Yuqun was a little embarrassed when he heard Xia Zekai's remarks, but he was not angry and said: "Mr. Xia, what do you think of the prospects of new energy vehicle batteries?"
"Prospects?" Xia Zekai sat down and played the table with his fingers rhythmically. After a moment, he raised his head and said seriously: "From a development perspective, when oil resources are over-exploited and facing depletion,
Under the strategic premise of the country advocating 'energy conservation and emission reduction', I think new energy vehicles will definitely be a major trend in the future."
"If new energy vehicles develop under the policy background, then new energy vehicle power batteries will definitely have a broader future. In the long run, I am very optimistic about this area." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun next to her heard him talk about new energy vehicles head-on for the first time. She never expected that her husband would recognize this thing so highly.
Zeng Yuqun was very happy when he heard Xia Zekai's statement. He said, "Yes, what Mr. Xia said is right. I think so too."
"But why did Mr. Zeng come to me?" Xia Zekai asked again.
Zeng Yuqun sighed, looking at the sparse people in their booth, and sighed with emotion: "Mr. Xia, to be honest, our company has technology and a vision, but it has temporarily encountered financial difficulties."
"In the glorious Ningde era, the number one guy on GEM actually has no money?" Xia Zekai's heart was racing with 10,000 straw horses.
I never expected that it would be like this. So Zeng Yuqun was looking for funds?
When he thought of this, Xia Zekai felt a little funny. It felt like a coincidence. His wife had just been talking to him about the battery. Who would have thought that it would be delivered to his door automatically?
But the one who came to my door was Ningde!
"I just took a look outside and recognized Mr. Xia. I know that Mr. Xia has capital and strength. I want to talk to Mr. Xia specifically about our Ningde battery." Zeng Yuqun said very sincerely.
No tricks.
This entrepreneurial kid who came out of the countryside still has the simplicity unique to the older generation of entrepreneurs.
Of course, few people who can start a company are simple-minded, and Xia Zekai knows this very well.
"How to talk?" Xia Zekai glanced at his wife and then asked.
This means there is a door.
A heartfelt smile appeared on Zeng Yuqun's face. Huang Shilin and Wang Kai, who did not speak, also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xia Zekai say this, and the heavy expressions on their faces relaxed a lot.
“Mr.
Xia Zekai looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock at noon. They had been out for such a long time, and they still had three little ones at home who didn't know what was going on.
Xia Zekai said: "Forget it about eating, I have to go home. There are three children at home. Well, you must continue to display your products. Let's meet again in the afternoon..."
Before he finished speaking, Zeng Yuqun said: "Mr. Xia, there are employees here to introduce you to the booth. It doesn't matter whether we are present or not for the time being. How about this? You go home first, and the three of us are waiting for you outside.
Let’s talk in depth this afternoon.”
Zeng Yuqun's actual purpose before coming here was to find funds. He just suddenly spotted Xia Zekai walking among the crowd and recognized him. At that moment, he formed an idea in his mind to find Xia Zekai to invest.
The 719th richest man on the Forbes list of richest people in the world, with a net worth of US$1.8 billion. If such a person had no money, Zeng Yuqun couldn't think of anyone else he could go to.
Like the previous ones, he couldn't even find a home.
Now that he has grasped the straw, Zeng Yuqun doesn't want to let go. What if he runs away again after letting go? What will happen then?
