Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 700 - 257: Considerate Little Secretary Huang Han
The boss has spoken.
Everyone below naturally puts in their utmost effort.
Other new energy vehicle companies, upon hearing about the new battery breakthrough, have all turned their eyes.
This is a big deal for them.
A breakthrough in the new battery means a breakthrough in mileage per full charge, which means a constant influx of new users.
Why say that?
Because those currently in a wait-and-see approach with new energy vehicles generally have two concerns.
First: Of course, safety.
While new energy vehicles have numerous advantages, the batteries are prone to catching fire and exploding. In the event of an accident, it’s easy for the car to be destroyed and lives lost, with very little time to escape.
Although battery management is now very comprehensive, and the probability of such malignant events is very low, but what if it happens?
Even with a one in ten thousand chance, everyone is still afraid.
To eliminate people’s concerns in this regard, further research and development are needed to create truly safe batteries.
Second: Naturally, it’s about mileage.
Especially for enthusiasts or those needing long-distance travel.
Even though various charging stations are densely distributed on the roads now, and are very convenient.
But people still have this concern, it’s like the battery level on a mobile phone, even if it’s 90% when leaving the house, there’s a slight worry.
This fear of insufficient battery probably comes from this notion.
Currently, electric cars on the market can generally run about 500 kilometers on a full charge with careful use.
If used more casually, without proper planning, there might be no power after three or four hundred kilometers. If this happens in the northern regions, it’s worse, as being able to travel 200 kilometers would be considered good.
So, improving the energy density of batteries has always been a major focus for car companies.
Unexpectedly, news suddenly came that a peer company developed a more outstanding battery.
According to rumors, if this battery is used, a vehicle’s mileage can suddenly increase from an average of 500 kilometers to 800 kilometers.
This isn’t some small incremental improvement.
It’s a significant leap forward.
Therefore, the heads of major car companies had to respond to the "Heroic Invitation" and personally come over for a visit.
Otherwise, if their brand’s cars don’t use this new battery and result in decreased sales, they would be the major culprit in the company.
Even those who don’t take this seriously are being urged by their investors to attend.
Why?
Because these investors have the sharpest noses, they immediately sensed the opportunity.
Of course, this scent was intentionally spread by Keno Capital in the capital market.
Lijing Hotel.
The luxurious conference room.
The famous figures from new energy vehicle companies have all come over.
From Keno’s side, the representative present was Li Jun, the successor to the Investment Department’s Minister Wang Hai.
His resume is also very impressive, having worked for major domestic and international peers, so none of the automotive executives present didn’t recognize him.
"President Li, is it really you this time? Is the new battery real? Is it as exaggerated as the rumors? Surely it’s not just a smokescreen you spread?"
Someone smiled and greeted him.
"Weren’t you at Redwood before? Have you found a new place to climb the ladder?"
Someone asked curiously.
Li Jun smiled and answered their questions one by one.
"Yes, I’ve recently re-planned my career and joined Keno Capital. Our company’s new energy battery has indeed made a breakthrough. As for whether the rumors you heard are true, let me keep it a secret for now. You’ll see for yourselves later. Seeing is believing, right?"
Li Jun talked eloquently, handling such a complex situation with ease.
On the other side of the conference room, in the control room.
Watching the real-time images and sound from the big screen.
"President Sun, this new Investment Minister really knows his stuff."
"Why else would I spend such unjustified money to bring him over?" Sun Dasheng smiled, lying in the boss chair, staring at the screen.
It’s important to note that this newcomer, replacing the previous capable assistant Wang Hai, cost him nearly over a year and one hundred million to hire. (Annual salary + bonuses + incentives)
The one massaging Sun Dasheng’s shoulders is his current trusted assistant, the newly appointed Director of the Secretariat, Huang Han.
Watching the lively scene in the picture, she had a bit of doubt: "Why don’t you attend such a large event in person?"
"Why should I attend in person?" Sun Dasheng asked back.
"Uh..." Huang Han paused, there was something she didn’t dare to say: why don’t you go and steal the spotlight yourself in such a scene?
Even though she hasn’t been with the boss for long, she knows her boss likes to show off and sometimes flaunt.
Why is he giving up such a good opportunity today?
Something doesn’t seem right.
Thinking more made her unknowingly exert more pressure into her massage, just as she was about to apologize, she looked down and found him looking at her with an amused expression.
She felt her face heat up a bit.
A flutter in her heart.
Something’s wrong, really wrong.
She was known as an ice queen at school, famous for being aloof and uninterested in people.
Solely focused, spending all her time and attention on studying.
Otherwise, she couldn’t have continuously pursued her master’s and doctorate at the famous Qingbei University.
No doubt, she’s not young anymore, but in her career she’s quite the rookie, with little work experience.
The reason she directly entered Keno Capital’s Secretariat and was immediately seen and groomed as a successor by her boss really boils down to her lack of work experience, being a blank slate.
