Chapter 28: Repeating the old trick and acquiring 90% of the shares

Shen Xi contacted Chaoxin Battery Co., Ltd. smoothly.

The other party's boss, Huang Kaikang, immediately smiled when he heard Ning Fan's name and took the initiative to make an appointment.

Early the next morning.

Ning Fan brought Shen Xi to the door of Chaoxin Battery Co., Ltd.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt, suit pants and with a big belly coming towards me with a smile.

He even took the initiative to open the car door for Ning Fan.

"welcome."

"Welcome, President Ning!"

"Mr. Huang!" Ning Fan got out of the car and extended his hand.

"Hello, hello." Huang Kaikang was extremely excited. "Boss Ning, are you interested in the battery industry as well?"

"Yes, I want to see it." Ning Fan did not shy away from saying, "After all, the future is all about new energy, and batteries are definitely indispensable."

"Yes, President Ning is really far-sighted. I think so too." Huang Kaikang became even more excited. As he spoke, he led Ning Fan and Shen Xi inside.

After taking a few steps, I saw a large group of people there to greet me.

There was even a banner hanging nearby.

When Ning Fan saw this scene, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Huang Kaikang hurriedly explained.

"Boss Ning, all the employees in our company have heard of you."

"I heard that you were coming over for a field inspection today, so I've been waiting here early."

Ning Fan didn't expect that he would actually enjoy the treatment of a star. He smiled and waved to everyone.

"Hello everyone."

Shen Xi, standing aside, also covered her mouth and laughed.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be so popular."

"Yeah, if I had known earlier, I would have let you come alone." Ning Fan said helplessly.

Huang Kaikang on the side also quickly said: "Boss Ning, I will take you to visit our assembly line first, and then take you to visit our research institute."

"Okay." Ning Fan nodded.

Then Ning Fan followed Huang Kaikang to their production workshop.

Ning Fan discovered that the factory was very large, but only two-thirds of it was in use, and the rest was vacant.

The door was closed and covered with dust, obviously it had not been used for a long time.

Huang Kaikang smiled bitterly and explained, "Mr. Ning, you should also know that our industry is innovating every year."

"We can't always rely on our past achievements."

“So, I’ve spent a lot of money on investments over the years.”

"As a result, the funds have been unable to circulate, and many shareholders have complaints, so we don't have many workers left."

Ning Fan nodded.

Last night, he also went back to look up some information related to new energy.

The latest battery, lithium iron phosphate power battery, can withstand temperatures as high as 500 degrees.

Moreover, many companies have also made great breakthroughs in fast charging and battery life.

Chaoxin Battery Co., Ltd. is a small company.

If we just do OEM production, we can survive, but if we want to develop further, we must develop our own unique battery.

But the word "research" is not just talk. Without huge financial resources, all research is just empty talk.

Then Ning Fan said, "Take me to see your research institute!"

"Okay, okay." Huang Kaikang nodded quickly, "Our researchers have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I heard you were coming over, and I've already made preparations."

Soon, under the leadership of Huang Kaikang, Ning Fan came to a specially isolated area.

Before entering, I changed into a special isolation suit to enter the laboratory.

The research institute was very large, with various instruments placed inside. At the gate, several young men in white coats had been waiting quietly.

Just yesterday, after Shen Xi contacted Huang Kaikang, Huang Kaikang also contacted them overnight.

Tell them that a big shot will be coming today, and if they perform well, they might be able to get investment.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep well that night.

Seeing Ning Fan coming, a young man wearing glasses walked up quickly with an excited look on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Ning. I'm the person in charge here. You can just call me Zhou Lan."

"Next, I will take you to visit our research institute."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ning Fan looked at these researchers and nodded with a smile.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhou Lan quickly responded with a smile, "Please come in!"

For them, no matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as research.

As long as they can get Ning Fan's investment, everything they do today will be worth it.

Finally, under the guidance of Zhou Lan, Ning Fan visited the research institute.

While introducing the instrument, he explained it to Ning Fan.

"Currently, lithium cobalt oxide 18650 batteries, ternary lithium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, etc. have been developed on the market."

"The performance is also more than 3 times higher than traditional lead-acid batteries!"

Ning Fan nodded, but he didn’t understand much about this.

But it can be seen that Zhou Lan is trying her best to show him her research.

Zhou Lan was also very smart. After briefly explaining the classification, she began to introduce her own research.

"At present, our research direction is ultra-thin and ultra-long battery life, and everyone's research direction is solid-state batteries."

"Compared with liquid electrolyte lithium batteries, solid-state batteries have the characteristics of being non-flammable, non-corrosive, non-volatile, and resistant to high temperatures."

"We have now made a major breakthrough, but there is one material that has not yet been solved."

"As long as the material problem can be solved, this research will achieve a major breakthrough."

"It will be a huge reform for the entire battery market."

After saying that, he looked closely at Ning Fan.

I want to see whether Ning Fan is interested from his slight movements.

After all, bosses invest to make money. If they can't make money, then what's the point of investing?
But Ning Fan always looked very calm, which made him a little nervous.

Finally, after showing Ning Fan around, Huang Kaikang quickly came over with a smile.

"Mr. Ning, what do you think?"

"Okay." Ning Fan nodded with a smile.

The researchers standing behind Ning Fan immediately smiled happily.

Huang Kaikang couldn't stop smiling when he heard this: "Then let's go to the office and talk slowly."

in the office.

Huang Kaikang didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point: "So far, two hundred million has been invested in the research."

“I’m not sure how much more will be needed.”

"If Mr. Ning wants..." At this point, Huang Kaikang raised two fingers, "Two hundred million, you can buy them all."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Fan expectantly, only to see Ning Fan shaking his head.

Huang Kaikang's face suddenly darkened.

"Then President Ning, please tell me what you think."

"It's useless for me to just have a research institute from you." Ning Fan said calmly, "Even if the research is successful, I still need a production line."

"I see that your entire company's production line is also very complete."

"I plan to acquire your company, but I only want 90% of it."

"And the subsequent management will be entirely handed over to you."

"what do you think?"
