Chapter 216 Experiment

Chapter 216 Experiment
Even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the management of Hailufeng Company are still all on duty, but the ordinary employees have begun to take holidays in batches.

The Human Resources Department has just poached a management team from a battery company in Pengcheng.

Lei Bo and Jiang Miao met.

He immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, it's a great honor to be invited."

"Have a seat!" Jiang Miao looked at the information of the other party and his team: "Mr. Lei, your previous company is also one of the leaders in the industry. Why don't you continue to stay there?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that our ideas are not in line." Lei Bo did not explain in detail.

"Different philosophies? Mr. Lei should know the conditions of our company, right? Our conditions are not comparable to that of the leading enterprise."

"Boss Jiang, you're joking. Actually, my income is not that much. In a good year, I make about 500,000 yuan a year. In recent years, it's been around 200,000 yuan."

Lei Bo previously worked in quality management as a middle-level manager. His entire team of eight people are related to quality management.

The conditions that Hailufeng Company offered him were indeed average on the surface. He was given C2 treatment upon joining the company, which was a monthly salary of 1.05 yuan; other team members were given C1 treatment, which was a monthly salary of 8500 yuan.

However, before Lei Bo and others came here, they had obviously studied the internal treatment situation of Hailufeng Company.

They found that the proportion of salary in Hailufeng Company's benefits was actually not high. Performance, bonuses, and dividends together could reach 1∽3 times the salary. Combined with other benefits, the overall treatment was still good.

If you do your job well, earning a million dollars a year is not a problem.

In particular, the promotion channels of Hailufeng Company are relatively transparent. Once the employees have served for a certain number of years and have accumulated sufficient contributions, their grades will be automatically upgraded.

Lei Bo, who had worked in his previous company for more than ten years, had always been the factory's quality supervisor. After working in this position for nearly a decade, he still had no room for development. In addition, he was over 40 years old, and there were more and more young people. He also felt pressured, so he thought about changing jobs.

After much deliberation, Lei Bo finally chose Hailufeng Company.

In fact, there is another important reason why he chose Hailufeng Company. That is, Hailufeng Company has 3000 million acres of land in the south of the desert and is a large agricultural enterprise. It is difficult for such a company to die suddenly.

Lei Bo, who has been working in the battery industry for more than a decade, is very aware of the current competitive pressure in the domestic battery industry. If he is not careful, the entire company will go bankrupt. He is looking for a convenient place for himself to retire in advance.

Especially as the battery industry has entered a critical period in recent years as it has begun to attempt to transition from lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, and semi-solid-state batteries to all-solid-state batteries.

In addition, the domestic battery industry in the past decade has entered the stage of replacing old batteries after more than ten years of wild growth. It is still unknown whether many battery companies can survive this stage.

Jiang Miao saw what Lei Bo was thinking and guessed that he just wanted to spend some time at Hailufeng Company. But it didn't matter. He was not afraid of subordinates who were indifferent, but was afraid of subordinates who were ambitious.

Anyway, his purpose in recruiting a manager for the battery division was to build a factory and manage quality. The technology division would develop and manage the technology, while sales would be handed over to the sales department.

Managers of this type of production department tend to have simpler minds and feel more at ease.

Jiang Miao put down his resume and said, "I've read Mr. Lei's resume. You have experience in managing a factory, and your team also has relevant work experience. Let's try you out for three months!"

"no problem."

Lei Bo and his team, who took over the new position of Hailufeng Battery Division, together with several other reserve cadres who had been in training at Hailufeng Company, formed a makeshift team of 20 people in total.

But they were lucky because the new headquarters had a lot of empty offices, unlike the previous departments, which had to squeeze into self-built houses in Nanhu Village.

By the time they had completed the relevant formalities, it was already the first day of the new year.

Lei Bo did not go home for the New Year, but brought his wife and children from Pengcheng to Shanmei.

Lei Bo and others were very satisfied with the company's humane arrangements for receiving employees' families.

The company converted two buildings in the employee quarters opposite the headquarters into temporary employee apartments. Lei Bo and the families of several of his colleagues temporarily lived in the employee quarters for the New Year.

The entire employee community currently has about 1300 households, all of whom are company employees and their families.

The first and second days of the New Year were quite lively.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, Lei Bo took several colleagues to the biofuel base in Gongping Town.

Arrived at the Fairtown Biofuel Base.

"So many cows..." A middle-aged man wearing glasses looked through the car window.

On the hillside grasses on both sides of the road, there are groups of black and white cows, which are out exercising and basking in the sun.

After the dairy farm, the biofuel base is next door.

Zhang Haitao, head of the biofuel business unit, was also on duty here during the Chinese New Year. When he heard that Lei Bo and his group were coming, he came out to greet them.

"Manager Lei, you are here to see the experimental workshop, right?"

Lei Bo had read the relevant internal information a few days ago and was also very shocked by the data of gel batteries. He brought people here to check the data without even waiting for the new year. "Yes! The battery division has just been established, so I came to learn about our company's battery technology."

"Manager Lei, do you want to go to the experimental workshop first, or to the office?"

"Let's go to the workshop!"

Arriving at the temporary experimental workshop, it is divided into two areas.

One is a bacterial cultivation room that is strictly isolated from the outside world, and the other is a battery processing workshop.

Lei Bo did not go into the bacterial culture room, but went to see the battery processing workshop first.

Lei Bo's first impression of this battery production workshop was that the conditions were very simple and the eight workers did not take strict protective measures.

Lei Bo was already thinking that he would not be so careless after the factory was officially established. He looked at a large gray cube that had just been inactivated, disinfected, and dehydrated: "Is this the main component of the battery?"

Zhang Haitao patted the gray cube that looked like a sponge and said, "This is the power storage sponge. It is a honeycomb structure formed during the reproduction of electric bacteria. Its shape is very similar to a sponge, so we call it a power storage sponge."

“How do you usually deal with it?”

"It's very simple. First, it is sterilized and disinfected, then the water is dried, and then it is deep dried three times to reduce its free moisture content to below 0.1%. Then it can be used."

I saw the workers using wire cutters to cut the battery sponge into rectangles, and then stuffing them directly into the aluminum nitride ceramic inner tank. Then they inserted a row of LED lights with an insulating layer in advance into the rectangular battery sponge.

Then install the fiberglass cover with positive and negative electrodes and heating tube on the inner tank after adding insulating sealing pads.

A fiberglass mesh shell is added to enhance the overall strength and to prevent the heat inside the battery from being dissipated in time.

Sent to the next workstation, workers will inject the soybean oil battery liquid prepared in advance into the storage sponge until the weight on the scale reaches the line.

"Is this good?"

"Yes, but this is just an experimental product. For real mass production, it must be large-scale mechanized production and factory quality inspection at the same time."

Lei Bo looked at the batteries in front of him and found it hard to imagine that such high-performance batteries could be produced under such simple conditions.

However, after he followed these batteries into the temporary testing workshop next door and watched it for more than ten hours, Lei Bo knew that he had encountered a great opportunity.

The batteries tested very well, charging in five hours and discharging in the same five hours.

A one cubic meter inner tank can be charged with 90 kWh of electricity using 450 kW of power in five hours, and can be discharged in five hours to release 409.5 kWh of electricity.

The battery, which imitates the structure of BYD K7's battery box, weighs 837 kilograms and is installed in the battery box of the K7 bus.

Since the K7's motor's maximum power is 180 kilowatts and its rated power is 150 kilowatts, the sponge batteries are divided into two groups and connected in parallel to increase their maximum power to 180 kilowatts.

In addition, its battery management system has also been replaced by a new system by the staff to adapt to the new battery.

The dozen or so K7s that came from the bus company had their original batteries removed. Fortunately, these K7s were all old models and did not have so many complicated system restrictions.

Lao Liu and Lin Huolin, who were transferred over to help test the new battery, were driving a bus on the Haifeng County highway.

Lei Bo was also on the bus with several colleagues.

A temporary vending machine was installed next to his seat, which sold water, drinks, ice cream, popsicles, cones and other things.

As he was driving, he saw someone waiting for the bus at a bus stop on the side of the road. He stopped and shouted at the top of his voice, "Is there anyone going to the city? 12 yuan."

"I."

"Isn't this bus No. 19? It goes to the city, too?"

“Maybe it’s changed?”

Several passengers were confused, but they didn't say anything. They got on the bus and paid the fare through WeChat.

A young man carrying a red bag just sat down. He happened to be sitting opposite Lei Bo and saw the vending machine at a glance.

“Does this bus sell water?”

The young man, who happened to be feeling a little thirsty, chose a bottle of mineral water, the price of which was the same as that in a convenience store.

Lei Bo smiled and asked, "Young man, what do you think of this vending machine?"

"Huh? This vending machine is pretty good. Is the uncle from the bus company?"

"Yes, the company is innovating and is testing it during the New Year." Lei Bo nodded.

“Nice idea.”

In fact, Lei Bo had asked Lao Liu and others before. During this renovation, there will not only be common beverage vending machines, but also specially customized tourist and student types.

In addition to selling beverages, tourist buses also sell local and Hailufeng Company specialties.

Student buses also have beverage vending machines and special nutritious fast food for students.

Obviously Jiang Miao knew very well that relying solely on the bus fare would not help even if the passenger capacity was doubled. Therefore, it was necessary to make full use of the space resources on the bus, such as selling things, which was one direction.
