Chapter 420 Full Charge !
Noon arrived, and Ding Wen ventured out into the world, where the warm embrace of the sun welcomed him. He met with a group of friends, three or five in number, the laughter and camaraderie infectious. Time passed swiftly as they chatted and reminisced.
Returning home in the afternoon, Ding Wen found something rather peculiar. His mobile phone, which had been tirelessly powering his gaming marathon earlier, still boasted a full battery charge. Bewilderment filled him. In the past, he\'d grown accustomed to seeing his phone perpetually connected to a charger, but today was different.
Pondering this, Ding Wen considered whether Brother Yong, his generous benefactor, had gifted him a different kind of battery. What kind of battery could this be, and why was it so extraordinary?
As evening descended, the front door creaked open, announcing the arrival of Bi Qingyun. Ding Wen couldn\'t hide his surprise as he greeted his father.
"Dad, why did you come back so early?" Ding Wen inquired, curiosity evident in his voice.
Normally, Bi Qingyun\'s evenings were consumed by work, and he rarely returned home before ten o\'clock. Tonight was an exception.
"Come with me," Bi Qingyun beckoned his son.
Intrigued, Ding Wen followed his father into the study. They settled into their chairs, and Bi Qingyun began, "Those two batteries you received last night were indeed a gift from Liu Yong."
Ding Wen affirmed, "Yes, Brother Yong gave them to me personally. I find it rather perplexing, though. Why did he gift me two batteries, and why is my phone still fully charged? It\'s as if the battery never drains."
Bi Qingyun leaned forward and explained, "These two batteries are truly extraordinary. Here, take a look at the test report for one of them."
Ding Wen examined the report, his expression transitioning from confusion to astonishment. He stammered, "Dad, is there a mistake in this report? These test results are unreal. How can a battery perform so remarkably?"
Bi Qingyun replied, "I initially had the same doubts as you, but now I\'m convinced. These batteries are indeed exceptional. The fact that your phone remains fully charged is a testament to their extraordinary capabilities."
Ding Wen couldn\'t believe his eyes. A battery with such an immense capacity was a game-changer. His mind raced as he considered the implications for his company\'s current challenges. Hopeful, he ventured, "Dad, imagine if all our mobile phones were equipped with these batteries. What would that mean for our business?"
Bi Qingyun, a seasoned businessman, couldn\'t contain his excitement either. "If all our mobile phones use these batteries, they will undoubtedly outshine the competition and dominate the market."
Ding Wen nodded vigorously, aligning his thoughts with his father\'s. "Dad, I\'ll call Brother Yong right away and inquire about these batteries."
Bi Qingyun nodded approvingly. Ding Wen reached for his phone and dialed Brother Yong\'s number, knowing that his father\'s early return was no coincidence. It was all connected.
Meanwhile, in Huahai City, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the foot of Phoenix Mountain. In a grand villa, Liu Yong and Li Changle, an unexpected duo, were busy preparing dinner together.
Though a private chef usually took care of such matters, Li Changle had been learning a new dish, and today was her opportunity to showcase her culinary skills. She wielded a pair of chopsticks, selecting a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and offering it to Liu Yong.
"Brother Yong, care to give it a try?" Li Changle\'s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Liu Yong obliged, tasting the dish and nodding appreciatively. "Well done! The flavor is delightful. While it may not match a five-star chef\'s expertise, it\'s certainly on par with a four-star chef."
Li Changle chuckled, her cheeks blushing with pleasure. "Brother Yong, you flatter me too much."
Their laughter filled the kitchen as they enjoyed their culinary adventure.
As the dinner preparations reached their crescendo, the tantalizing aroma wafted through the air. Just as they were about to savor the meal they\'d prepared together, Liu Yong\'s phone chimed.
Curious, he glanced at the screen and saw that it was Ding Wen calling. With a knowing smile, he answered, suspecting the reason for the call.
"Ding Wen, have you already put those batteries to the test?" Liu Yong inquired.
Excitement flowed through Ding Wen\'s voice as he responded, "Brother Yong, those batteries are phenomenal! Our company conducted a detailed test on one of them, and the results were beyond belief. We couldn\'t fathom their performance."
Liu Yong revealed, "These batteries are not your ordinary lithium-ion batteries. They are the latest development from our company—graphene-aluminum batteries."
Ding Wen was astounded. "Brother Yong, you mean these batteries are the latest breakthrough from Global Enterprise Group? That\'s incredible!"
For Ding Wen, this discovery was a boon for Qingyun International. If these batteries were indeed the latest achievement of the global conglomerate, it meant unprecedented possibilities.
"Brother Yong, you\'ve accomplished something incredible. You quietly developed graphene-aluminum batteries. When this news breaks, it will send shockwaves throughout the industry," Ding Wen declared.
Liu Yong explained, "We\'ve recently succeeded in research and development. Mass production is projected to begin in about three months."
Three months sounded like a short timeframe to Ding Wen. It meant that in a matter of months, they could have access to these game-changing batteries in bulk.
Energized by this prospect, Ding Wen said enthusiastically, "Brother Yong, let me be the first to extend our interest. Qingyun International wants to place a substantial order for these batteries."
Liu Yong welcomed the offer with a warm smile. "Our relationship is strong. Consider the first order yours, Qingyun International."
Their conversation continued for a few more minutes, during which Ding Wen grasped the essentials of the situation. He ended the call, content with the knowledge that an exciting opportunity lay ahead.
"Dad, you must have heard our conversation," Ding Wen remarked to Bi Qingyun.
Bi Qingyun nodded, his eyes reflecting the magnitude of the opportunity. "Indeed, I did. This is an incredible chance for us. I never expected that a lifeline would suddenly appear when things looked bleak."
With these batteries, there would be no need for imports. Bi Qingyun was already envisioning a future where all mobile phones produced by Qingyun International would be powered by graphene-aluminum batteries. The pricing, as Liu Yong had mentioned, was only slightly higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries, making it a highly cost-effective choice.
Bi Qingyun knew that with the introduction of graphene-aluminum batteries to the market, traditional lithium-ion batteries would swiftly become obsolete. He had already made up his mind: in a matter of days, he would personally visit Universal Enterprise Group to discuss the specifics of their cooperation
.
The following day, Bi Qingyun called for an urgent high-level meeting, summoning all executives without revealing the agenda. Speculation ran rampant among the executives, and their curiosity knew no bounds. The only detail they knew was that it was an emergency meeting.
The atmosphere was charged as they waited for the meeting to begin, unaware of the momentous news that would soon be revealed.
