"I've heard of it, it seems that there is some research in the field of lithium batteries," Lin Zheng opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense, the truth of the truth is that half a minute ago, Boss Lin didn't know that there was a person named Johngoodenough in this world, "But the lithium-ion battery he studied seems to be a little different from the lithium-ion battery in the general sense...... Do you know what's the difference? ”

Hearing that Lin Zheng's words did not mean to grab business with himself, the boatman secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when it comes to strength and influence in the United States, BYD is a big difference compared to Lianchuang Technology, if Lin Zheng has a half-cut mind, he really doesn't know what to do, "There are still some differences, our general sense of lithium-ion battery refers to the use of lithium materials for the cathode of the battery, generally lithium cobalt oxide, I heard that Professor Johngoodenough has discovered a new type of battery cathode material, and if this new type of material is applied as the cathode of the battery, the battery will be safer...... You should know that lithium batteries are easy to explode under high temperature and open flame conditions, and there is a high possibility of explosion if a relatively strong impact occurs. ”

"Obedient," Lin Zheng nodded, how could he not know that lithium batteries are explosive under high temperature and open flame conditions? Pretending to be curious, he said, "What do you mean that Professor Johngoodenough's discovery of this new type of battery cathode material has a very good safety?" ”

"It seems so, but I don't know exactly what that is," he said. The boatman spread his hands, "So I'm going to pay a visit to Professor Johngoodenough." ”

"And then?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was very interested in this matter.

I didn't expect Lin Zheng to ask like this. The boatman hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "If the lithium battery made of this new cathode material has better safety, then the market prospect of this battery should be very good, and if there is an opportunity, I hope to establish a cooperative relationship with Johngoodenough." ”

"This is good for Professor Johngoodenough and for your company......" Lin Zheng paused for a moment and said. I have a bit of a friendship with President Marshall of Rice University, so let me help you ask. ”

"Do you know President Marshall of Rice University?" The boatman was taken aback when he boarded. Extremely surprised, he asked Lin Zheng.

Rice University, known as the "Harvard of the South", is the best university in the entire state of Texas, and can be ranked in the top 20 universities in the United States, and is much higher than the two most famous universities in the world. The height at which it is located is a place that countless universities in China look up to. He couldn't imagine how Lin Zheng knew the president of Rice University...... Sounds like the relationship between the two is pretty good?

"It's a very coincidental opportunity, I helped him a little favor," Lin Zheng said casually, seemingly unwilling to say more, stood up and picked up the phone, and said apologetically, "I'll make a call." ”

The boatman struggled to suppress the joy and apprehension in his heart, and nodded. "You feel free."

It's true that the call is inappropriate to call in front of you, although it's not a big deal. It's not very likely to be rejected, but how embarrassing would it be if it did?

Fortunately, such a bloody thing did not happen, and after a while, Lin Zheng walked out of the room and smiled at the boatman, "Fortunately, President Marshall is very happy that you are interested in Professor Johngoodenough's research, and he will greet Professor Johngoodenough later, I believe that Professor Johngoodenough will still give Mr. Marshall this face." ”

"Mr. Lin, thank you, thank you so much." The boatman was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and stepped forward to hold Lin Zheng's hand tightly.

Before coming to the United States, he only got in touch with the University of Texas, but did not contact Professor Johngoodenough, although the University of Texas agreed to his request to visit, but in the United States, similar requests are basically not rejected by any university, as long as there is time, the interviewee will generally be received, but reception is one thing, how deep can be talked about is another matter, and even does not rule out a few interviewees who are not very good-tempered directly refuse...... I don't need too many excuses, just "I'm busy with research now, I don't have time for the time being" and just dismissed it.

But with the president of Rice University personally greeting, the effect is completely different, Professor Johngoodenough received himself is certain, in the face of President Marshall, more or less revealed some of the relevant information of the lithium battery he researched, which is too important for himself.

"You're welcome," Lin Zheng said with a smile, "I don't have high requirements, if I have a demand for this kind of battery in the future, the supply on your side can keep up with my demand." ”

"It's hard to say?" Just heard that Lin Zheng had the meaning of putting forward conditions, and the boatman was still a little unhappy in his heart, but after listening to Lin Zheng's conditions, the boatman was only grateful in his heart: where is this condition, this is purely to help himself. Thinking that he had just secretly been a villain again, the boatman couldn't help but feel ashamed, patted his chest and assured Lin Zheng, "Mr. Lin, you are also a shareholder, shareholders have needs, and the production capacity on my side must be met first!" ”

Hope you can do it. Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, but he knew in his heart that at some time in the future, the lithium battery in the boatman's hand would not be enough at all, and the lack of production capacity strictly limited the launch of several cars, so that the boatman had to use the limited battery production capacity more on the most profitable electric buses.

Since Lin Zheng helped so much, the boatman also reciprocated, "Mr. Lin, after your LCD factory is put into operation, remember to leave us some production capacity." ”

"Huh?" Lin Zheng was slightly stunned, "Do you have a demand for LCD panels?" ”

"We are learning from you, and we are also preparing for an electronic product OEM project, and we have reached a preliminary intention with the customer."

Lin Zheng didn't expect the boatman's pace to be so fast, and the battery road has not yet been taken, so he began to think about the OEM of electronic products, but this is the road that the boatman will take in the future, and it is understandable that he has gone a few years earlier, and nodded with a smile, "Can you ask, what is the project?" ”

The boatman replied cheerfully, and when he heard Lin Zheng ask, he said without hesitation, "It's the Hanxian pager of the waveguide." ”

"Can you win such an OEM business?" Lin Zheng was really a little surprised, and gave a thumbs up, "You cow!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Boss, I worked with my alumni who work at IBM to analyze our company's current financial system." Newly released Lianchuang Technology CFO Patrick. Picket is seriously reporting to his boss about his analysis of the group's financial situation.

"How?" When asking this sentence, Lin Zheng himself felt a little blushing: I hope I won't say a "ball of shit" evaluation.

"Oops, it's just a piece of shit!" The freshly baked Mr. CFO didn't give face to his boss at all, and said without hesitation or thinking, with a disgusted expression on his face, "Boss, please forgive me for being direct, but in the years I have been working in contact with finances, I have never seen such a large company, and the financial situation is messed up like this...... Even if the company is half the size of your company, the financial situation is not so bad. With such a terrible financial system, instead of going out of business, your company is thriving, and I can't think of any other reason to explain this than God forbid. ”

Boss Lin's old face couldn't help but blush, he knew that the company's financial system was terrible, but it was really bad to this extent? To be honest, Boss Lin cautiously expressed his skepticism.

But Patrick. "But God can't always favor you, and as your chief financial officer, I have to advise you that your company's financial system has reached the point where it is necessary to reform, and if you continue with the current financial system, God willing," he said. ”

Lin Zheng didn't do it because of Patrick. Pichett was direct and annoyed, but nodded and said sincerely, "Mr. Pichett, that's why I invited you to my company...... Since you say so, you must have an idea? ”

"The current financial system must be reformed, sir," Patrick. Picket was not polite at all, and immediately said when he heard this, "But the current situation of the group is not suitable for the introduction and launch of the integrated financial transformation project, and the overly drastic financial system is likely to collapse the company, so we must take our time and establish a relatively perfect, scientific and reasonable and strict financial system in the next two years, and after this system is perfected, it is time to start the integrated financial transformation project." ”

Is this the so-called "void without compensation"? Although Lin Zheng expressed doubts about whether the situation faced by Lianchuang Technology has really reached such a strict situation, the company's situation is indeed very unoptimistic, which he is clear, he nodded, "What are we going to do?" ”

"The formulation of the financial system needs to be ...... by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu"

"Wait a minute," Lin Zheng interrupted Patrick. Pickett's words, "Why not Arthur Andersen?" ”

At the beginning, Lin Zheng was sure that Arthur Andersen, and without a full reason, Lin Zheng would not have agreed with Patrick. Pichett's requirement to change accounting firms, even though Deloitte and Arthur Andersen are both among the world's top five accounting firms. (To be continued......)
