"Boss Li, Boss Yu from Huayao just called and wants to order 10 million high-energy batteries. He hopes we can give them priority for delivery and may even accept a small price increase."
"Mr. Cheng from VO also called and said he could increase the price by two hundred yuan, buying our company's high-energy batteries for 800 yuan each."
"Boss, the orders are piling up. My phone is getting hot from all the calls. I can't handle it all. What should we do?"
"Mr. Li..."
Yang Jun, head of the marketing department of Dark Energy Company, said that he used to work at Dark Technology, but now Dark Technology's business is not busy, so a group of people were transferred to Dark Energy Company to be responsible for marketing work. As the person in charge, Yang Jun immediately fell into a state of confusion and anxiety.
"Don't be afraid of a lot of orders, just take them all first."
"Those who sign up first and place their orders will be placed first, and those who sign up later will be placed later," Levi said on the phone. "But for those who are in a hurry to buy batteries, there will be another 'priority list'."
"Anyone who has paid the full deposit will be placed on the 'priority list'. If there are additional charges, the amount of the customer's additional payment, multiplied by the purchase quantity, will be the highest in the total amount. Those customers will be placed on the 'priority shipping list' and will be shipped first."
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
Two days later.
Yang Jun answered the phone again and reported the situation, saying, "Boss Li, we've compiled all the potential orders from domestic and international customers. The total number is so high it's frightening."
"So far, we have received 4.86 billion units of intention orders for Type 1 high-energy batteries of common specifications; and 920 million units of intention orders for flat high-energy batteries used in mobile phones, tablets and other products."
"Considering the current high price of batteries, only a small number of users are willing to pay in full to make the 'priority list,' and not many people pay extra for them. However, even so, 1.37 billion conventional batteries and 510 million mobile phone batteries were shipped for which users paid in full in advance. About 20% of these users chose to pay extra to secure priority shipments in order to seize market opportunities."
"Mr. Li, based on our battery factory's current production capacity, it will take us about twenty years to complete all the orders from customers who have already paid in full. To complete all the intended orders, it will take at least fifty years!"
"The demand is so strong, and the customers are crazy about it! It far exceeds our actual production capacity, but we dare not tell users about our production capacity. If they knew that the waiting time would be decades, I'm afraid many customers would cancel their orders."
"Mr. Li, can you think of a way to increase our factory's battery production capacity? It's not enough. Our customers are crying out for it. Money isn't the problem, but the production capacity is far from enough. We must increase production capacity and output as soon as possible."
Yang Jun said anxiously.
"Don't worry, the second and third phases of the battery factory have already started construction. They will be larger than the current factory, and production capacity will increase by about ten times. We expect to start shipping in large quantities in two years."
Levi reassured him that the orders were scheduled for fifty years later, and it was impossible to make customers wait for fifty years. If there were no one waiting, there would be no one left. If someone went to pick up the goods, it would be too late. Who would want these high-energy batteries?
Five years.
It will take at most five years for all orders to be completed and the output to be sufficient.
…
At the end of September.
The total number of orders from Dark Energy has increased significantly again, and the total number of reservations for Type 1 high-energy batteries has approached 10 billion units.
Based on an average unit price of 600 yuan, this is an astonishing business worth nearly 6 trillion yuan.
Of course, this is a hypothetical situation. It will take a long time to complete these orders. After the manufacturing cost of high-energy batteries goes down, the price will definitely drop. In a few years, the battery may only be sold for 300 yuan per unit, or 1,200 yuan per unit.
In reality, it is only a sum of three or four trillion yuan.
It will take at least five years to complete.
After deducting various costs, in terms of net profit, Dark Energy Company earns an average of 300 to 400 billion yuan per year.
This number is very impressive. You should know that the former richest man in Xia State, Ma Jieke, had a net worth of about 500 billion, but the profit of Dark Energy Company is equivalent to 0.6 Ma Jiekes every year.
But even so.
This amount of money is just small change.
Compared with the total market value of major companies in the energy and technology sectors that have evaporated in the global stock market in the past month, it is simply a drizzle.
The first to suffer the heaviest losses was the traditional battery industry.
The stocks of lithium battery, metal battery or fuel cell companies that were once considered "high-tech" have plummeted and have completely become junk stocks with no possibility of rebound. Countless investment institutions and ordinary investors have suffered heavy losses, and more than a dozen of them have even gone to the rooftops because they are so depressed.
The losses of major battery companies around the world are at least over one trillion.
The next groups that suffered the biggest losses were oil companies and traditional car companies.
This is very easy to understand. After the emergence of Type 1 high-energy batteries, the performance and range of electric vehicles are not only not inferior to those of fuel vehicles, but are even stronger. In addition, due to the need for environmental protection, it is only a matter of time before electric vehicles completely replace fuel vehicles.
As fuel consumption decreases, the demand for oil will naturally decrease. According to the most conservative estimate, if all vehicles use electric systems, fuel consumption will be saved by at least 35%.
Moreover, not only vehicles, but even airplanes flying in the sky can be driven by battery motors to create electric aircraft, which can ensure that the aircraft's range will not be less than 3,000 kilometers... The use of aviation fuel can also be greatly saved.
This will inevitably lead to a sluggish oil demand market and a continued decline in oil prices.
In addition, traditional internal combustion engine technology has become obsolete in an instant and is facing elimination, and the stocks of many engine companies have also plummeted.
in this way,
Oil companies + traditional automobile companies + engine companies... The market value of this group of institutions has evaporated by at least 3 trillion in the past month.
Even almost all companies or groups that have anything to do with "petroleum", "gasoline", "fuel" and other "oil" have seen their stock prices fall to a certain extent as their technology faces the crisis of being obsolete.
Plus the traditional battery industry, which has been almost wiped out.
In the past month, due to the advent of the "Type 1 high-energy battery", nearly 10 trillion yuan of wealth may have evaporated or disappeared worldwide.
Many people also jumped from the rooftop.
It can be said that the losses caused by panic in the financial market exceeded the total profits of Dark Energy Company in the next twenty years.
What made the financial market even more angry was that Dark Energy Company had no plans to go public and did not need any financing. They had lost a huge amount of wealth and had no chance of making up for it.
This caused countless financial professionals to grit their teeth in hatred: "Dark Energy Company, do you really want to die?"
