Chapter 320: 320 Demonstration

After returning to the company, Chen Xu quickly signed contracts with those two enterprises, truly completing his layout in the battery sector, as for what it would develop into in the future, that remained to be observed.

Besides these seven enterprises, the rest of the companies definitely did not want to just sit there waiting for death. Especially the two neighboring countries, how they would struggle to survive, that would be quite interesting to watch.

After signing the contracts, Chen Xu had another twenty-some billion in revenue.

The next day, Chen Xu took Secretary Jin with him and drove to the headquarters of Tianluo Group.

After getting out of the car, he looked up at the building, which appeared slightly mediocre, but it was built in the eighties and now had nearly forty years of history, naturally incomparable to those newly constructed buildings around it.

During this period, Chen Xu had looked into the background of this company, and it truly was quite astonishing. In that era, only overseas Chinese businessmen had the ability to construct such tall buildings.

At the beginning, Tianluo Group was established via joint investment by several overseas Chinese businessmen, among whom, the initiators were precisely the late parents of Luo Zhenghai.

Originally, with the advantage of being first, Tianluo Group had the chance to become the strongest real estate company domestically, unfortunately, after the death of Luo Zhenghai’s parents, the company fell into chaos and missed the golden period of real estate development.

Later, Luo Zhenghai, with backing, took control of Tianluo Group and got it back on track. Even though it hadn’t caught the real estate boom, in the field of commercial real estate, it remained a veteran mammoth company.

Over the years, Luo Zhenghai had been trying to transform, but with little success.

Chen Xu learned from Yang Jinxia the reason, Luo Zhenghai held too few shares of Tianluo Group. The shareholders behind him supported him taking over, not just because of his capabilities but also due to familial tie considerations, as well as for balance.

Now, the older generation was almost all gone. Their successors began to covet control of Tianluo Group, but since Luo Zhenghai had done well these years, they found no suitable excuse. However, the private struggles had never ceased.

Large companies’ common problem, internal strife.

Only now did Chen Xu realize that his cheap father-in-law might seem glamorous but also had his own difficulties.

No wonder he hadn’t come to trouble him recently; it looked like he had his hands full.

Chen Xu adjusted his jacket and entered the building with Secretary Jin.

…

In the office, Luo Zhenghai looked at a document in his hands, silent.

Thump thump.

Someone knocked at the door.

Without lifting his head, he said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and his secretary entered, “Mr. Luo, a Mr. Chen from the Future Battery Material Technology Laboratory wishes to see you.”

Luo Zhenghai paused in his movements and looked up, “Future Battery Material Technology Laboratory?”

His time was precious, usually, without an appointment, he definitely wouldn’t meet anyone. His secretary having come to report meant this wasn’t just anyone. But this name, he really had no impression.

“Yesterday, some battery companies launched their new generation of batteries, with capacities double that of the original batteries. Their technological breakthrough was due to acquiring an important patent authorization from this laboratory,” the secretary apparently had done his homework before coming.

“Oh, I remember now,” Luo Zhenghai put down the document in his hand.

These years, he had been trying to expand into new business fields beyond commercial real estate, and power batteries were one of his endeavors, also achieving some results, with his power battery brand entering the top ten in the domestic industry last year.

A few months ago, the news had come out that a laboratory had solved the lithium dendrite problem. Not long after, the person in charge of a battery company reported to him that the laboratory’s research was fraudulent.

After that, he stopped paying attention to this matter, until yesterday, when he saw in the news that competitors had produced a new generation of power batteries, doubling the endurance capabilities.

He had been worried about this matter and hadn’t connected these two things together. After all, that had been several months ago; he had too many things to worry about, it was hard to remember an insignificant matter from months past.

Hearing his secretary mention this, he remembered the matter, feeling a surge of anger.

His battery enterprise had been developing well, on which he had high hopes, increasing his investment each year. It had become second only to commercial real estate in the company’s portfolio, demanding his attention.

Luo Zhenghai quickly adjusted himself, and said solemnly, “Have him come over.”

In a short while, the secretary led two people in.

Luo Zhenghai saw the man following his secretary and, despite his composure, still showed a trace of surprise.

“Mr. Luo, long time no see,” Chen Xu greeted with a smile.

The surprise on Luo Zhenghai’s face flashed then turned stern, he ignored him and looked at the secretary.

The secretary sensed his anger, and a bit nervously said, “This is Mr. Chen from the Future Battery Material Technology Laboratory.”

Luo Zhenghai finally didn’t explode in front of Chen Xu, waved his hand to dismiss the secretary, then turned to Chen Xu and asked sternly, “Tell me, what’s your purpose in using such tricks to see me?”

“It seems, Mr. Luo has a big misunderstanding about me.” Chen Xu calmly sat across from him, his expression and tone relaxed, “I’m just here to talk business.”

“Just you?” Luo Zhenghai did not deliberately show a mocking expression, but the implication was clear.

Chen Xu said, “A few months ago, I acquired a laboratory and accidentally developed a type of electrolyte that happens to solve an industry-wide problem. After registering the patent, several companies wanted to pay a lot of money for my patent. Later, I thought, selling it to one company wouldn’t be fair, so I decided to license it separately.”

“I unintentionally heard from Xiyun yesterday that Tianluo Group also has a battery company, so I thought, maybe you need this patent, so I came to ask. Since you don’t trust me, forget it, I should leave.”

Chen Xu finished speaking and actually stood up, turned around, and left.

Luo Zhenghai’s expression remained unchanged until the door closed, then his gaze darkened.

Immediately, he called his secretary, “Go and find out everything about that laboratory.”

“Yes, Mr. Luo,” the secretary quickly left.

He looked at the document on the table again, suddenly grabbed it, tore it up fiercely, and threw it in the trash can.

“Damn it.”

He looked somewhat angry, cursing.

In his view, Chen Xu came just to show off.
