Chapter 1202 The Possibility of Overtaking on a Curve

Liu Meilan listened intently, blinked, and was utterly shocked.

This assertion is indeed in line with future developments, and new energy electric vehicles will be highly competitive in the future.

In the future, the cost of electricity from photovoltaic, wind, hydro, nuclear, and ultra-high voltage technologies will be very low, far lower than that from petroleum fuels.

This would not only reduce domestic dependence on oil, but also allow oil to be used in other areas.

Liu Meilan carefully reviewed it again from top to bottom, then looked up and said, "Xu Feng, your plan is excellent! Your grandfather's friend's assessment is also very promising, and I fully agree with it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng's eyes lit up: "Meilan, are you going to invest?"

Liu Meilan thought about it carefully: "New energy electric vehicles are really not something that can be achieved overnight! A lot of technological reserves are needed! In terms of batteries, we have only solved the needs of electric bicycles and tricycles, because these are short-distance vehicles."

"But cars are different; they're for long distances. Current technology simply can't handle that! So battery technology still needs further breakthroughs! I will increase my investment in research and development in this area, but I won't invest in the automotive industry right now!"

Now her business has expanded significantly. Car manufacturing is not something that can be done behind closed doors; it requires a lot of technological reserves, especially in the field of new energy.

With joint venture vehicles gradually entering the market and seizing market share, and with everything becoming mature, it is difficult for new energy vehicles to break through.

Moreover, the current domestic and international environment does not allow new energy vehicles to shine. After all, joint venture cars are booming, and the interest groups behind them are huge, which is not something she, an outsider, can shake.

Hearing Liu Meilan's words, Xu Feng was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that Liu Meilan was right; solving the battery technology problem was the most crucial task at this stage.

"From what you just said, it seems that we can't invest now. So, will you enter the new energy electric vehicle industry in the future?"

Liu Meilan nodded: "I will! I will investigate some car companies and consider investing in them! Let the professionals do what they do best, after all, I don't understand this kind of technology!"

Xu Feng laughed upon hearing this: "Now that you say that, I'm relieved! Maybe I can even get investment from you in the future!"

Liu Meilan laughed heartily: "Sure! As long as you have a good project, you can come to me! Even if I don't have the ability right now, I might be able to find you a suitable investor!"

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Feng took out another document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Liu Meilan: "If you don't have enough technological reserves for new energy vehicles right now and you're not planning to enter the market, then you must really need this, right?"

Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback, took it and looked at it, then laughed: "Have you been doing nothing else but studying me?"

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow: "I didn't just do this randomly! It just so happens that the project you invested in is related to some industries on my end. We can manufacture some upstream semiconductor components, such as raw materials like silicon crystals!"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "As expected of an industrial base, the infrastructure is excellent! You still have the most basic raw materials! Now that semiconductor wafer fabs are gradually going into production, the demand for raw materials is increasing!"

"Since you have the necessary expertise, you can manufacture some and send them over for on-site testing. If they meet the requirements, we will purchase them!"

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said, "We can indeed produce the raw materials we need, but our technology is relatively backward, and we need to purchase new technologies and equipment! Some of our equipment is even developed in-house, and the price is not as high as that of foreign equipment. If you can confirm us as your supplier, we can upgrade our equipment and improve our technology!"

Liu Meilan looked at Xu Feng with a half-smile: "I see now, you won't give up until you get investment from me! Tell me, do you still have any documents in your briefcase?"

Xu Feng chuckled: "There definitely won't be any this time!"

Liu Meilan nodded: "Okay, I'll keep this document with me! I'll communicate with the leadership and then send someone to your area to investigate! If you really have many highly skilled workers and supporting policies, I'm willing to invest!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was overjoyed: "That's great! With your words, I'm confident I can make our company bigger and stronger!"

Liu Meilan smiled: "Actually, your vision and foresight are excellent. The semiconductor industry will develop very rapidly in the future, and this industry has a very promising future. Although we can only produce low-end chips now, with the quantity of low-end chips, we can achieve a qualitative leap in the future and produce mid-range or even high-end chips!"

"All of this requires the most basic raw materials, which we can find domestically, which is equivalent to perfecting the supply chain! When we take over the entire industrial chain, that will be the time when China's technology takes off."

Xu Feng's grandfather was able to invite such expert friends, allowing Xu Feng to access higher-level planning and prospects. Therefore, he was always able to accurately find suitable projects and then attract investment.

Given the local situation, people are used to path dependence and are unwilling to take risks, so introducing external capital and technology is a crucial step.

Xu Feng stayed there for two or three days, and Liu Meilan didn't keep him waiting too long, replying directly to him: "I will send someone to investigate in half a month!"

Xu Feng was very happy on the phone: "Meilan, thank you!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "No need to thank me! I will invest in good projects. If I reject the projects you bring in the future, it may not be because they are bad, but because they are not suitable for me! Don't be angry then!"

Xu Feng nodded: "How could I be angry? The money in your account didn't grow on trees. You can't hold a grudge against me just because you didn't invest. Actually, you've already helped me a lot!"

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Liu Meilan felt relieved: "After returning, we will try to sort out the work with all parties as soon as possible, because there are quite a few suppliers like you in China. Although we have personal connections, we still need to select the best candidates when it comes to the actual implementation!"

The favor was merely giving Xu Feng a chance, not a full guarantee.

Xu Feng understood this principle perfectly: "Meilan, when we get back I will unify our thinking and actions, and make sure to resolve any concerns so that the factory can start operating with a lighter burden!"

Xu Feng and Liu Meilan exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.

Liang Cheng looked at Xu Feng and asked, "Are we going back?"

Xu Feng nodded, "Yes! You've already caught up with Linghua, aren't you going to go back with her to meet your parents?"
