Chapter 1141 A Multi-Pronged Approach

Dai Zhenxing was very angry.

A few hours ago, he received several calls in succession.

The calls were from several investment companies. Everything that had been agreed upon had changed.

The heads of those companies told Dai Zhenxing that the promotion of his cooperation with Qixuan to form a new company was strongly opposed by the person in charge of Qixuan's investment case. They all asked to temporarily put the cooperation plan on hold. Therefore, they had to consider the opinions of these people and suggested that Dai Zhenxing wait patiently.

Dai Zhenxing knew that it must be Shi Lei who was doing the work. He had gained the trust of those people. It seemed that the plan to build a bridge with the Chinese government through Qixuan was likely to fail because of Shi Lei's obstruction.

For this reason, Dai Zhenxing was very angry, but the heads of those companies said that they had no choice. They did not expect that the person in charge of Qixuan's affairs would oppose it so strongly.

They even used the same words to comfort Dai Zhenxing, hoping that Dai Zhenxing would be patient, because those people's opposition was ultimately time-limited. As long as Dai Zhenxing could pass the patent application of the Chinese Patent Office, these people would have no reason to continue to oppose.

Dai Zhenxing had no other choice but to accept it. After all, the shares belonged to others, and the request was reasonable.

However, Dai Zhenxing knew that without the help of local governments in China, the patent application he submitted would never be approved.

This was not to say that there was anything wrong with the technology he provided.

From the perspective of the technology itself, it was enough to apply for a patent. Both the technical level and the technical specifications had indeed met the requirements.

However, the raw materials used in the production of this technology had great problems. In the production process of the battery pack, he had absolutely no way to guarantee that all standards could be met.

If you want to mass-produce this kind of battery, it will inevitably be accompanied by great pollution in the production process. Dai Zhenxing also believed that China was in urgent need of development, and GDP was the top priority of governments at all levels, so he wanted to focus on China.

In his opinion, it didn't matter if the patent was not obtained. As long as he had a good relationship with government officials and put it on the production line, all problems would be solved. For GDP, there is always a price to pay.

But now these stupid investors actually asked him to pass the patent first and then promote cooperation with Qixuan. How could Dai Zhenxing not go crazy?

Originally in Africa, the project had been almost completed, and the site selection and recruitment had been completed.

But the South African government suddenly changed an official, and after this official took office, he immediately began to review all the projects handled by his predecessor.

As a result, the project operated by Dai Zhenxing was ordered to stop, and the government gave them two options.

First, completely terminate the project and the previous investment would go down the drain.

Second, rectify the project to ensure that the pollution problems generated during the production process are solved.

However, if the project is rectified, the initial investment will be at least more than one billion US dollars, and after it is put into production, it will continue to invest in pollution control. According to estimates, the annual investment is at least hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not a one-time deal, but must accompany the entire production process.

This will double the cost of Dai Zhenxing's project.

Although it has a considerable advantage over existing batteries in terms of technology, this advantage will disappear at such a high cost.

Even the South African government requires Dai Zhenxing to be responsible for the recycling of batteries put into use in the future. Of course, they need to be processed after recycling, which is another high expense that Dai Zhenxing cannot afford.

This is no different from him directly carrying out this project in Australia.

Taking all the costs into consideration, Dai Zhenxing's project will only end up losing money and not making any money.

Otherwise, Dai Zhenxing would not have to come to China to fight with Shi Lei.

After going through so many circles and using so many means, the final result was not satisfactory. Dai Zhenxing found that he was almost forced to the end of the road.

He knew that if he could not solve these problems as soon as possible, the European consortium would not let him go.

He must think about it carefully. He must not let the current situation continue. He must break through the obstacle of Shi Lei.

Looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, but Dai Zhenxing still took out his mobile phone.

"Mr. Dai, although I did say that my phone is on standby for you 24 hours a day, it seems a little too late now, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the last time I talked to you about 20 million."

The other party was obviously shocked, and his tone changed immediately: "Haha, Mr. Dai, your price... But it's not that I don't agree, but she... I told you that she won't consider anyone over 30 years old."

"It's not me, it's another person, no more than 30 years old, a young talent, and he looks pretty good."

"Oh? Mr. Dai, with such an identity, actually helps others..."

"That's right, and I'll pay for it."

"It seems that this person must be very important to Mr. Dai. Mr. Dai, please send me the other party's information, I'll pass it to her to see."

"You only need to tell her the name of the person, his name is Shi Lei!"

The other party was obviously stunned, and asked hesitantly: "Shi Lei? The Shi Lei of Qixuan Technology?"

"Yes."

"He also likes this?"

"This has nothing to do with you, just tell me, okay?"

The other party laughed and said, "If it's Mr. Shi Lei, there should be no problem. If Mr. Dai doesn't have any time requirements, he doesn't have to pay. I think she should be very interested in dating Mr. Shi Lei."

"It must be done that night. Whether it can be a relationship depends on whether she is happy to serve Shi Lei."

"Okay, deal!"

After Dai Zhenxing hung up the phone, he did not hesitate to transfer three million US dollars to the other party's account. Then, he sank deeply into the sofa and said to himself, "This is the most popular female star in your China, a jade girl. I originally planned to use it to celebrate my company when it was established. It's a bargain for you."

The next afternoon, Dai Zhenxing called Shi Lei.

Shi Lei was a little surprised to see Dai Zhenxing's call, but it was expected. After all, Dai Zhenxing must have received the news. At this moment, he must have thought of other ways.

"Mr. Dai, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Mr. Shi, do you have time to have dinner with me tonight?"

Shi Lei did not hesitate too much. He also wanted to get in touch with Dai Zhenxing again. Maybe, without the sense card, he could figure out what was wrong with the technology in his hand.

"Mr. Dai's invitation, I can't find a reason to refuse. Time, place? I will be there on time."

"Eight o'clock in the evening, the address is..."

Dai Zhenxing told Shi Lei the address, which was very close, which was not surprising. People like Dai Zhenxing must live in a high-end villa in Wudong, and most of Wudong's high-end villa communities are nearby.

At 7:40 in the evening, Shi Lei changed his clothes and walked to the community where Dai Zhenxing lived.

He called Dai Zhenxing at the door, and Dai Zhenxing personally went to the gate of the community and welcomed Shi Lei in.

In the huge villa, there were only Shi Lei and Dai Zhenxing. Dai Zhenxing was polite to Shi Lei in a hypocritical manner, but Shi Lei did not want to greet him more.

Shi Lei said directly: "Mr. Dai, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I am not really here for dinner, I just want to know what Mr. Dai wants to talk to me about."

"10 billion to buy out your shares in Qixuan."

Dai Zhenxing raised a finger.
