"What kind of relationship do we have now?"
After finishing their business, Ye Kai took a sip of coffee and then stared intently at Zhou Xiaoli, asking her a question.
"Previously, we had a teacher-student relationship, but now that I've resigned, are we considered temporary partners?"
When the issue was brought up, Zhou Xiaoli scratched her hair, which was unusual for her, and she obviously hadn't figured out how to handle the complicated relationship caused by this unexpected event.
"A deep strategic partnership?"
Ye Kai laughed, and then began to consider his next strategy.
Zhou Xiaoli sat on the small sofa chair opposite, holding a metal coffee spoon between two fingers and gently stirring the steaming coffee in her cup, but her gaze remained fixed on Ye Kai, who was deep in thought.
It must be said that although Ye Kai was too young and inexperienced at this time, when he was thinking, he gave Zhou Xiaoli a very unique masculine charm, which easily made her recall the wind and rain of last night, the heavy wine and the lingering effects, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush again.
This is truly bizarre.
This year has been unlucky; not only have I been scammed, but everything else has gone wrong.
How could she, the dignified daughter of the Zhou family, have fallen to this state?
Perhaps I should really go to Mount Wutai to pray to the Bodhisattva and get rid of the bad luck.
"Why don't we go back to our room to wash up and then come down for breakfast later?"
After a moment of haughtiness, Zhou Xiaoli finally feigned modesty and extended an invitation to Ye Kaifa.
"fine."
Ye Kai nodded. He noticed Zhou Xiaoli's dilemma, and smiled inwardly but kept his expression unchanged.
……
"Actually, your choice to do battery projects is not the best option."
"At the end of last year, Zeng Yuqun and his team spun off ATL's power battery division to establish CATL, and participated in the Zhangbei energy storage project, focusing on the research and development and production of power batteries."
"In terms of timing, you are already six months late."
Ye Kai thought of CATL, which he had learned about before, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Xiaoli.
He really wanted to smoke a cigarette afterward, but Zhou Xiaoli didn't smoke and hadn't prepared one, so he had to hold back.
Morning exercise requires a lot of physical exertion. Now that Ye Kai has cleared his mind and body, his thoughts are particularly active, making it a good time to think about serious matters.
It's no wonder that some people call this period "the time of wisdom," and it certainly makes sense.
"Of course we know that."
"In fact, when CATL was established last year, Tokyo Electric Chemical Co., Ltd. (TDK) of Japan held a 15% stake."
"Although we are not yet clear about their specific investment details, judging from various indications, CATL's total investment will not exceed 1 million yuan. In terms of funding, we have the advantage, and we are not starting from scratch."
"In terms of patents and technological accumulation, we can push back at least a year, giving us a greater advantage than them."
Zhou Xiaoli disagreed with Ye Kai's view and argued her point.
"You're a senior in high school, about to take the college entrance exam, how do you have time to read these news articles hidden in obscure corners?"
"Unless you're a seasoned professional in this field, it's hard to notice these inside stories."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoli looked at Ye Kai with a somewhat suspicious gaze, unable to understand the reason behind it.
"I already told you I'm a reincarnated person."
"Isn't it normal for reborn individuals to notice things that others don't?"
Ye Kai touched Teacher Zhou's hair with his hand, lifted her chin with his finger, and carefully examined her as he answered.
At this moment, Teacher Zhou's already stunning beauty was enhanced by a touch of allure, making her exceptionally captivating under the lights. Her skin, especially after being moisturized by rain and dew, was even more enchanting than newly blossoming peach blossoms.
"However, although CATL's investment is not large, it has reached a strategic cooperation with BMW to develop a power battery system for BMW Brilliance's first pure electric SUV."
"If this project is successful, their technological research and development, team building, and basic production facility construction will all reach a new level."
"If we want to catch up with them and stay ahead of our domestic counterparts, we need to find the right direction and speed up our pace."
Zhou Xiaoli sat up straight, staring at the hickey Ye Kai had left on her chest, her pretty brows furrowing slightly.
Her skin is quite sensitive and recovers slowly, so she probably won't be able to wear low-cut clothes for a few days.
This is really troublesome.
"Are you on the right track?"
"I know that..."
Looking back at CATL's technological development path, Ye Kaixin thought that he hadn't taken enough shares, only 29%.
If investors want him to reveal more valuable insights, they will need to pay a higher price. After all, you get what you pay for. A person who can control the overall direction of the company's development will only bring more returns if he holds a larger share.
"Let's put that aside for now. How do we solve the funding problem?"
What Zhou Xiaoli is most concerned about now is the 200 million yuan that was taken away by the swindler.
"That's easy."
"I need you to do some trading on the Hong Kong stock market. I can guarantee you'll make more than double your money this month, and we can quickly make up for the funding shortfall."
"However, we need to sign a contract first to ensure that each other's rights are protected."
Ye Kai provided the general outline of his solution, but did not reveal the target stock he intended to trade.
"Are you that confident?"
"Alright, I also need some time to convince the other investors to ensure the equity transfer can proceed smoothly."
Although Zhou Xiaoli guessed that Ye Kai was going to stir up trouble in the capital market, she didn't understand why he seemed so confident, as if the stock market was his ATM.
Zhou Xiaoli felt that convincing the other investors wouldn't be a problem.
In fact, Zhou Xiaoli certainly bears some responsibility for this scam, but she was just a liaison. When it comes to investing real money, investors need to keep their eyes open.
Now that problems have arisen, everyone shares responsibility.
After all, no snowflake is innocent when an avalanche occurs.
The proposal to keep the total investment unchanged but reduce everyone's equity by 20% was quickly approved by the investors.
The reduction in equity is unavoidable; the key is that the total investment remains unchanged and can be quickly invested in the battery project, which is what everyone is most concerned about.
"It's all settled, and the contract is being drafted."
"I've already transferred the funds to the Hong Kong stock market. Now it's up to you, my little darling."
After finishing these tasks, Zhou Xiaoli was also quite tired.
Ye Kai was standing behind her, massaging her shoulders with both hands to relieve her fatigue.
"Rare Earths of a Major Country"
"Once the market opens, you can buy in with your entire capital."
Ye Kai nodded and gave the answer.
