Chapter 1003: Chapter 547: The Dawn of the New Energy Vehicle Era? (Subscription Request)_2

Mist City University of Technology’s Mechanical Engineering program has seemed to be on a downward trajectory recently, mainly due to insufficient research and development capabilities.

Now that a partnership has been established with Mist City Arts and Science University, perhaps it would be possible to participate in Mechanical Engineering research projects at Mist City Arts and Science University in the future.

That way, the Mechanical Engineering department at Mist City University of Technology could be stabilized!

Both principals considered their institutions’ interests.

And the collaboration in the field of Mechanical Engineering between the two universities would be very beneficial for both institutions.

Thus, it was natural for both principals to agree on the collaboration promptly.

Director Xiao Wenxing, standing to the side, noticing the strong intention for collaboration between Principals Ding and Fu, expressed with a thoughtful look on his face, "It’s wonderful to see both of your universities collaborating. Who says private and public institutions can’t come together? You are certainly doing it right."

Director Xiao Wenxing also knew that a collaboration between Mist City Arts and Science University and Mist City University of Technology would be beneficial for both parties.

Therefore,

Ding Yue delved deeper into establishing a partnership with Mist City University of Technology with Principal Fu.

As for his Artificial Intelligence robot Big White, Ding Yue entrusted its care to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Materials Science College.

Director Tao Gang from the Materials Science College said that it would take about a week to prepare the necessary inorganic fiber-reinforced ceramic base composite materials.

Then, adding the time needed for the Department of Mechanical Engineering to rebuild Big White’s body, it would take about another half a month. All together, it would take about a month for Big White to be reborn.

During that month, Ding Yue, without Big White’s company, would feel a sense of longing.

But the thought of Big White appearing by his side again after a month brightened his mood.

In the coming month, Ding Yue still had plenty of tasks to occupy him.

Among them, the most important certainly concerned the graphene technology industry. His team was diligently progressing with related tasks, aiming for impressive results by year’s end.

For example,

Tong Yihang and Luo Peng would train a group of university students capable of handling the manufacture of machines for mechanical exfoliation of graphene, graphene production, and the manufacture of graphene technology products by the end of the year.

These students were primarily from relevant majors at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Once trained, they could secure a high-paying offer from Feiyue Group even before graduating.

Meanwhile,

CEO An Yujia of Feiyue Group was actively negotiating with several major domestic technology companies.

Currently,

Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group were interested in collaborating with Feiyue Group on graphene batteries.

Because they were aware that seizing the graphene technology license package might be out of reach, they had decided to settle for the next best thing, which was acquiring graphene batteries for phones and electronic devices from Feiyue Group.

However, one company appeared "proud" and seemed not to want to collaborate with Feiyue Group.

That company was Penguin New Energy Vehicle Company.

Initially, it was Penguin New Energy Vehicle Company that led Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group to form a united front to pressure Feiyue Group into handing over the graphene technology licensing package.

Now, with the situation having changed, as Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group had "switched sides," and Penguin New Energy Vehicle Company, with its own partners for new energy vehicle batteries, could afford to be quite confident.

On this day,

Ding Yue was, as usual, carrying out daily office work in his personal office.

An Yujia rushed into the office.

"Principal Ding,"

Seeing An Yujia arrive, Ding Yue just happened to want to ask her how the progress of commercial orders for the graphene industry was going.

After all, if we were to inspire complete confidence over at the Mist City Government building, Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group needed to achieve two things.

The first was for Feiyue Group to increase the scale of the graphene industry, which Ding Yue had delegated to his subordinates, who were actively working on it.

The second point was that the graphene products needed to have collaboration orders from major domestic manufacturers; otherwise, it would be difficult for the Mist City Government building to decide to give substantial support to Feiyue Group in the graphene industry.

"Miss An, what’s the matter? You seem very urgent; is something up?"

Upon seeing this, Ding Yue asked curiously.

"Principal Ding, I have some not-so-good news that might disrupt our collaboration with Penguin New Energy Vehicle Company,"

An Yujia came forward, panting as she spoke.

It was clear that she must have run over to report to Ding Yue the moment she learned of this news.

"Don’t rush, catch your breath first, Xiao Wen, pour Miss An a glass of water."

Ding Yue turned his head and instructed his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

Now that the AI robot Big White was not by his side, the task of serving drinks had once again fallen to Secretary Wen Ruohan.

An Yujia took a deep breath, regained her composure, and continued, "Principal Ding, you’re aware of Europe’s Mantech Group, aren’t you?"

"Of course, Mantech Group from Europe is quite formidable, especially in energy research,"

Ding Yue nodded and said.

Moments later, Ding Yue realized something. He frowned and muttered, "Miss An, are you saying... "

"Yes, Penguin Car has always had close cooperation with Europe’s Mantech Group,"

An Yujia said earnestly, "Previously, new energy vehicles weren’t given much priority domestically, allowing Tesla to take over part of the market. However, Penguin Car eventually caught up, thanks to their close cooperation with Mantech Group. Just today, Mantech Group announced that they have also made major breakthroughs in new energy battery research."

"Oh?"

Ding Yue, upon hearing this, became quite interested.

A crucial core of new energy vehicles is the new energy battery and motor technology.

As for motor technology, every company involved in new energy vehicles has more or less obtained related technology, even companies like Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group, who are planning to enter the new energy vehicle field.

The reason is no other than that, over the past two years, Xia Country has been vigorously promoting the development of new energy vehicles.

This has made many tech company executives see the future direction of development—new energy vehicles will definitely be a part of it!

"So, it’s highly unlikely that Penguin Car will choose to collaborate with us."

An Yujia shook her head as she spoke.

"Mantech Group’s new energy battery, could it be the same graphene battery as ours? That seems unlikely,"

Ding Yue muttered.

The graphene mass production technology and graphene battery technology developed by Mist City Arts and Science University were unique. It would be very difficult for global tech companies to replicate without spending a substantial amount of money and one to two years of time.

"I’m not entirely sure about that, as it surely falls under trade secrets, just like our graphene technology."

An Yujia shrugged and said.

"It looks like the era of new energy vehicles has officially arrived, huh? I remember that Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group also intend to develop new energy vehicles, right?"

Ding Yue looked at An Yujia and asked.

"Yes, Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group indeed have such intentions," An Yujia nodded. "Principal Ding, are you suggesting..."

"Exactly, since Huawei Technology Group and Dami Technology Group also want to make new energy electric cars, we can not only supply them with graphene batteries for mobile phones and computers, but we can also provide graphene batteries for electric cars."

Ding Yue smiled calmly and said.
