Bi Qingyun, wearing a confident smile, leaned back comfortably in his chair as he addressed the matter at hand, "Who makes your things better? We will revolutionize the design of these mobile phones to ensure they perfectly match the specifications and sizes of our batteries."
Liu Yong, his colleague and partner, chuckled with genuine amusement at Bi Qingyun's enthusiasm.
Bi Qingyun continued, his voice carrying a hint of intrigue, "Mr. Liu, do you know what compelled me to order a staggering 100 million batteries all at once, aside from the undeniable cost-effectiveness?"
Liu Yong leaned in, intrigued. "Tell me, why?"
Bi Qingyun's eyes sparkled with a cunning wisdom as he revealed, "It's the principle of 'first come, first served' that you've mentioned earlier. Those who place their orders first will receive priority treatment."
Liu Yong nodded in agreement, acknowledging the practicality of this strategy. "Indeed, with the Jinpen County factory's production capacity, it will take a minimum of three to four months to complete such a massive order."
Bi Qingyun concurred, his tone resonating with realism. "Yes, at least three months of production capacity," he agreed, knowing it was a factual statement.
The Jinpen County New Energy No. 1 Factory, sprawling across 1,000 acres, had a monthly production capacity of 30 million units. In ordinary circumstances, without any overtime labor, it would indeed take three months to manufacture 100 million mobile phone batteries.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBi Qingyun had meticulously calculated this opportunity.
He had thrived in the cutthroat world of business for many years, and his sharp, calculating mind was his greatest asset.
Once the graphene-aluminum battery entered production, it would be exclusively available to Qingyun International for a minimum of three months. If their competitors wished to procure these batteries, they too would have to wait for this significant period.
More than three months—it was ample time to make strategic moves.
Liu Yong, well aware of the implications, willingly embraced the plan. It meant that companies in dire need of mobile phone batteries would rush to place their orders frantically, driving demand through the roof. To secure their spot in this competitive landscape, they had to be a little unconventional, even a little audacious. Otherwise, they'd be left with nothing but crumbs.
The next day dawned with a formal contract inked between the two parties. Before mass production even began, the graphene-aluminum battery had secured its maiden order, an astonishing 30 billion yuan in total.
After seeing off Bi Qingyun and his team, Liu Yong convened a meeting with key personnel, including Qiu Yang, Huang Guang, and Hu Nan, in his office.
Liu Yong believed that establishing clear rules was paramount.
Once the graphene-aluminum battery hit the market in earnest, it would create a frenzy among customers. To streamline operations and avoid chaos, Liu Yong laid down a set of regulations.
"Our graphene-aluminum batteries are about to enter mass production," Liu Yong began, "and I believe we need some rules in place to ensure smooth management."
In unison, Qiu Yang and the others leaned forward, eager to hear these crucial rules.
Liu Yong detailed a series of guidelines:
First, only one type of mobile phone battery would be available, and customers would have to adjust their mobile phones to fit the battery's specifications.
Second, the domestic price for each battery would be fixed at 300 yuan, non-negotiable. Foreign pricing considerations would be deferred for the time being, focusing on domestic needs.
Third, customers had to collect their orders in person; no door-to-door deliveries would be provided. Customers were responsible for arranging transportation for the batteries they ordered from the No. 1 factory in Jinpen County.
Fourth, a strict queuing system would be enforced—orders would be delivered sequentially, and the next order couldn't be picked up until the previous one was fully delivered.
Liu Yong was resolute, conveying an unmistakable sense of authority throughout the discussion. If customers wanted to procure batteries from Universal Enterprise Group, they would need to adhere to these rules.
Qiu Yang and his colleagues meticulously recorded each guideline, fully aware that these rules would simplify future operations.
For both customers and the company, having these rules in place provided clarity and streamlined the entire process. Negotiations would be straightforward, and contracts could be signed if the terms were acceptable.
Meanwhile, in Jinpen County's industrial park, construction had kicked into high gear. The 1,000-acre plot had been flattened, and the massive factory's foundations were already being laid. The once-prominent hill in the vicinity had vanished, replaced by a vast, level expanse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn this newly prepared canvas, lime outlines marked the future structures. Several pile drivers pounded away, laying the groundwork for the colossal factory building. For a project of this scale, with adequate funding, it would take no more than a month or two from ground-breaking to completion.
Materials were stockpiled at the construction site, and a swarm of laborers toiled tirelessly, their efforts breathing life into the grand endeavor.
Wang Yongwang, adorned in a hard hat, strolled the grounds in the company of Jing Xingpeng, deputy general manager of Global New Energy Company and the leader of Factory No. 1 in Jinpen County.
A small entourage followed them, including local officials and high-ranking members of Factory No. 1.
Wang Yongwang inquired with genuine interest, "Mr. Jing, I heard we've already secured the first order for graphene-aluminum batteries. Is that correct?"
Jing Xingpeng's face beamed with pride as he confirmed, "Indeed, just two days ago, we signed a contract with Qingyun International for 100 million batteries, totaling a staggering 30 billion yuan."
Jinpen County officials marveled at the astounding figure.
30 billion yuan—a sum that eclipsed Jinpen County's entire GDP from the previous year. It was a meteoric rise in prosperity, thanks to these 30 billion graphene-aluminum batteries slated for production within the county.
Next door, Global Semiconductor's No. 2 factory was already operational, having achieved over ten billion yuan in chip foundry revenue last month alone. It was well on its way to exceeding 100 billion in annual earnings.
The prospects were even brighter for Global New Energy's factory. Even before production had begun, it had secured a 30 billion yuan order.
Wang Yongwang expressed his eagerness to lend a hand in the construction process and any other needs that might arise.
The graphene-aluminum battery was poised to be a sensation, and demand would soar. Setting clear rules and regulations was essential to ensure orderly management of the impending influx of orders.
The stage was set, and Qiu Yang and his team would be responsible for overseeing these critical guidelines to maintain order and efficiency during the anticipated battery rush.
