Negotiation

"I solemnly introduce to you the first heavyweight product from Titan Biotechnology! A market-shuffling bomb for the mobile device industry!"

"The first generation Bio-Battery 10!"

"It is the same size as a standard mobile phone lithium battery, yet it can store three times the electrical energy of a regular lithium battery!"

"Not only that, its weight is only one-quarter that of a standard lithium battery!" Tang Shizhe held up a battery with a green casing in front of the camera, and the image on the giant screen immediately switched to a close-up of the battery.

A gasp of astonishment erupted from the audience!

"Let's take an example. Suppose this is an original battery for a mobile phone brand; it weighs 80g and has a capacity of 1800mAh."

"But look at this Bio-Battery of the same size; it weighs only 20g! And its capacity is a staggering 5400mAh!"

"Such a massive capacity is enough to support a full day of heavy usage! You will no longer need to carry heavy power banks! You will no longer need to bring annoying charging cables when you go out!"

"Furthermore, this battery possesses astonishing flexibility and malleability!" As he spoke, Tang Shizhe squeezed the battery into a ball amidst the gasps of the crowd, and the battery held its shape just like modeling clay!

"Moreover, it is compatible with all fast-charging technologies currently on the market!"

"Most importantly, it is priced at only sixty yuan!"

"For the price of a power bank, you can discard those annoying burdens and give your phone a new lease on life!" Tang Shizhe held up the battery and shouted loudly.

"Awesome!" A reporter shouted out, and the entire venue instantly boiled over.

Meanwhile, several giants in the battery industry watching this press conference were so shocked that the teacups in their hands fell to the floor.

Is this Titan Electronics insane? They just established themselves a few days ago and are already dropping bombs—and not just any bombs, but nuclear and atomic bombs capable of reshuffling the entire industry.

It wasn't that their laboratories lacked products more advanced than this Bio-Battery! They even had prototypes that were far more sophisticated, but those were products of the lab, with costs so high that mass production was simply impossible.

For technologies that could be mass-produced, those with battery capacities reaching the level of the Bio-Battery cost several times more, and they lacked Tang Shizhe's low weight and malleability.

New technologies with similar pricing had only half the capacity of the Bio-Battery, and likewise lacked the low weight and malleability.

How are they supposed to play this? This Titan Biotechnology is a market destroyer; they walked up and snatched the entire cake, not leaving a single bite for anyone else!

They tried to use patents to restrict them, but they didn't have any patents related to bio-batteries at all. The few companies that were researching bio-batteries were left in tears; their research directions didn't overlap with Titan Biotechnology's at all, making their patents nothing more than waste paper.

And if they wanted to change direction, Titan Biotechnology's patent barriers were already standing in their way!

"Now, the first batch of batteries we manufacture, shaped for Apple, Huawei, and Xiaomi, will be available on our website and in Titan Environmental's physical stores in one month."

"By then, consumers will be able to replace their outdated batteries themselves."

"In addition, we hope that companies that do not want their phones to be left behind by competitors will contact us as soon as possible to discuss the supply of Bio-Batteries." A slight smile played on the corners of Tang Shizhe's mouth behind his mask.

He intended to play hardball this time: collect payment before delivery. If you want your phones to keep up with the times, you must choose his batteries.

Otherwise, if your competitor's brand has three times the battery capacity, consumers will have to think twice.

As for Apple, that proud brand, Tang Shizhe calculated that they would likely be unwilling to change suppliers and would continue using their original batteries.

Because of their system's advantages, they have no rivals at the same level.

But! This one can manufacture batteries that Apple can use! Whether consumers switch them out won't be up to Apple to decide.

Even if only a portion of users switch to his batteries, given Apple's massive market share, he could still make a fortune!

The global annual shipment of smartphones is as high as 1.5 billion. Even if nearly half of the phone manufacturers get on board, that's 700 million units in sales.

A net profit of 55 yuan multiplied by 700 million equals 38.5 billion yuan! That is just one year of sales!

This doesn't even include other products that also require batteries, such as laptops. In the end, the annual profit could reach as high as 40 billion yuan!

Just thinking about it made Tang Shizhe drool.

The press conference ended successfully. That very night, mobile phone manufacturers from all over the world dispatched negotiation teams to board planes bound for the Xia Kingdom.

As for the original battery suppliers? What battery suppliers? We don't know them. Can they make us money?

The next day, the large conference room at Titan Biotechnology was packed with negotiation teams from around the world, and the high-end hotels in Danning City were completely booked out; the local hotel owners were grinning from ear to ear.

The negotiation teams that had arrived in Danning City had already received the new Bio-Batteries, and additional units had been shipped to their respective companies.

After testing, they confirmed that the battery's performance was not exaggerated in the slightest—it was exactly as shown at the press conference!

Plus, with Titan Group's massive scale, it was impossible for them to lie. One only had to look at how the outside world kept a close eye on Titan Environmental's daily sales; the total number of pre-orders online had already reached 10 million!

Many people in other countries, lacking local distribution channels, could only purchase them in China through purchasing agents and have them mailed over.

"Boss Tang, we at Huawei have come with sincerity. We are willing to pay one billion to monopolize all Bio-Batteries in the country! We won't even haggle over the price per battery," the Huawei negotiation representative said, slamming the table with an air of wealth.

If they could dominate the entire domestic market for all Bio-Batteries, then Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo could be crushed into oblivion!

"1.5 billion!" The Xiaomi representative also realized the gravity of the situation and slammed the table in response.

"1.6 billion!" This time it was Vivo.

"Gentlemen, I will absolutely not sell to just one party. No matter how strong your procurement capabilities are, if any one of you monopolizes the market, it won't be a good thing for our domestic mobile phone industry." Tang Shizhe narrowed his eyes. In truth, he just wanted to make more money. What is a businessman's conscience? It had long been eaten by dogs!

A monopoly by others wouldn't benefit him at all, so why should he let them monopolize it? Monopolies are things that only he should be doing!

"Admirable. What we admire most is someone like President Tang." Everyone nodded in praise.
