294: Chapter 293 Arrangement

Cao Xue looked at Wang Shuo, who was beaming with confidence, almost as if the word "confidence" was written on his face. For a moment, she didn't know what expression to show, so she just stared blankly, looking somewhat naive.

How confident must one be to say such... shameless things?

Shouldn't words like these only appear when someone is showing off in movies or TV shows?

Quietly pulling herself together, Cao Xue said, "CEO Wang, have you tested it? Is there an experimental report?"

Wang Shuo pondered for a moment.

When he originally made this battery, he seemed to have only conducted simple damage tests and hadn't systematically performed professional tests. As for an experimental report... was that thing important?

Wang Shuo shook his head slightly, "It hasn't been tested."

Cao Xue was stunned again.

You dare to say such big words without even testing it?

Big brother! That thing has a full 100,000 milliampere-hours of energy!

If the safety isn't good, it might just explode while charging!

I want to sell batteries, not bombs!

"However, just because I haven't tested it doesn't mean you can't."

Wang Shuo smiled faintly, "CEO Cao, you can totally organize a team to conduct a destructive test on the battery. The more destructive, the better. I also want to know the limit of this battery's endurance."

Cao Xue raised an eyebrow, "We do the testing?"

"Of course."

Wang Shuo sat up straight and said, "Although this battery is the technology I gave you, as the manufacturer, you must thoroughly understand all its performance metrics in order to match it with suitable usage environments and partners."

Wang Shuo spread his hands.

"Zhenghe Factory cannot rely on our financial support forever. You will need to expand production sooner or later, and our demand will eventually reach saturation."

"Furthermore, now that we have a flagship product, we need to promote it. Only products that can generate profit are good products."

Wang Shuo looked at Cao Xue and gave a slight smile.

"This... is the reason why I am prepared to hand over the solid-state battery production line to you entirely."

Expanding into the energy storage field was something Wang Shuo only thought of after seeing Cao Xue.

Over the past few days, he had also carefully reflected on his actions over the last month.

The achievements were significant, this was undeniable.

Building Frontier Technology Company from scratch and raising its assets to the billion-scale was almost a miracle.

But there were also problems.

Because he was a computer science student, his vision had been confined to computers for too long. His mind was only occupied with things related to computers, almost ignoring these common items that could be seen in daily life.

For example... batteries.

A small battery is not simple. If Wang Shuo remembered the data correctly, last year, the global energy storage market size exceeded one trillion US dollars, and China's share alone reached sixty percent of the world market.

Of course, this is the energy storage field; it's not that high just for batteries alone, but regardless, the market size for batteries is still around the hundred-billion level.

This is a big cake.

Now, Wang Shuo wants to try taking a slice.

"CEO Cao, after you go back, I hope you can form a professional public relations team as soon as possible. It would be even better if you could also form a professional R&D team. I will send specialists to explain the technical pathways to you in detail so that your R&D can get on the right track as soon as possible."

Wang Shuo said with a serious expression.

Cao Xue nodded subconsciously, then reacted, her brows furrowing instantly, "Are you ordering me?"

Wang Shuo immediately shook his head, "Not at all, I am just guiding you. An enterprise, if it lacks an R&D spirit, will sooner or later be swallowed up by the tides of society. CEO Cao, you wouldn't want your hard work to go to waste, would you?"

This made a lot of sense. Previously, because the batteries she produced had no advantages and the brand wasn't well-known, she had been struggling to survive, barely maintaining operations by relying on constant financial support.

Cao Xue nodded slightly, "I understand."

But in her heart, she began to consider where to get a few professionals.

...At this moment, in the conference room on the second floor.

Han Xiaoxin stood in front of the long table with a serious face.

On both sides of the long table sat five men, all looking young, each staring intently at Team Leader Han on the podium.

"In short, CEO Wang has already backed up all the technical data to the central AI database in advance. You can access it at any time through the zero egg, so you don't need to worry too much about the whole process."

"Due to the high intelligence of the zero egg, you can let it autonomously decide some matters, such as self-testing, tuning, calibrating equipment, and autonomously connecting and transmitting data; you can even agree on some small, secret reminder methods with it, for example, vibrate three times if there is a problem, and vibrate once if there is no problem."

The personnel on both sides of the conference table showed a look of curiosity.

"In addition, this zero egg is temporarily equipped for you due to your mission needs. It will be directly connected to the company's central AI. Besides guiding you, it will also play a certain supervisory role in your operations. If we find anyone violating company rules and regulations, taking kickbacks privately, or selling company secrets, we will directly notify CEO Wang for termination."

Team Leader Han looked grim, trying to make himself look more imposing, and said,

"Everyone, the company has established the Frontier Technology R&D Department. You are all the first batch of employees of the R&D department. I hope you can cherish this opportunity and complete your work tasks well."

"Now, distributing the zero eggs."

As soon as Team Leader Han finished speaking, one zero egg placed on the ground flew up and floated beside Team Leader Han.

The personnel on both sides were amazed again.

"The first one."

Team Leader Han swept his gaze across the table and shouted in a deep voice, "Jiang Jun."

The man sitting in the first seat on the right side of the conference table stood up.

"Granting you one zero egg, serial number QY-000037."

After speaking, the zero egg floating beside Team Leader Han automatically flew to Jiang Jun. As Jiang Jun curiously cupped his hands, the zero egg landed in his hands on its own.

Team Leader Han glanced at him and continued calling, "Second, Wang Jie."

Another man stood up, cupping the zero egg that flew in front of him, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Third, Chu Yunfei."

"Fourth..."

...A dozen minutes later, everyone had a zero egg placed in front of them.

"I will repeat it again."

Team Leader Han scanned the room again.

"This zero egg is temporarily provided to you by the company because of the mission you are to execute. It is company property. During the period of use, you have the obligation to protect it from damage and loss. If damage or other accidents occur, you need to pay for it at cost. After use, if you want to keep this zero egg, you only need to pay the full price and apply for authentication from Zero to remove the restrictions."

"The destination you are about to go to has already been entered into your zero egg, and the plane tickets have been purchased in advance. You can depart now."

After speaking, Team Leader Han quickly walked out of the conference room, leaving the newcomers looking at each other.

"Jiang Jun, stop trying."

Wang Jie, sitting nearby, looked helplessly at Jiang Jun, who was trying every way to tease the zero egg.

"Didn't Team Leader Han just say that this zero egg is directly connected to the company's main brain, not a common zero egg on the market? It's useless to tease it."

"How is it useless?"

Jiang Jun replied without turning his head, then said, "Zero, sing Wang Jing's 'Hailan'."

The zero egg did not move.

Jiang Jun was unconvinced and said again, "Zero, tell me a joke."

The zero egg still did not respond.

Seeing that Jiang Jun wanted to continue trying, Wang Jie stopped him.

"It's useless to ask like that. You should ask about things related to work."

Jiang Jun turned his head.

"Things related to work?"

Wang Jie nodded, "Yes, for example, you can ask about the itinerary, ask about technical principle analysis, and so on."

Jiang Jun scratched his head and asked,

"Zero, I want to know where we are going next?"

This time, the zero egg in front of him responded.

"The destination you are about to head to is: Beijing. Itinerary information has been registered."

The zero egg's voice was gentle and polite.

"Friendly reminder, your flight will take off in one hour and twenty-four minutes. You need to depart immediately."

"It really works!"

Jiang Jun looked pleasantly surprised.

Wang Jie also nodded.

The appearance of the zero egg was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

What interested them even more was whether the zero egg in front of them could really do what Team Leader Han just mentioned?

"Wang Jie, what do you think this CEO Wang means?"

Jiang Jun, having received a response from the zero egg, felt satisfied. He put down the zero egg in his hand and turned his head, "He rushed us here in such a hurry. I thought there was some urgent research task, but I didn't expect to be doing the work of an errand runner."

Wang Jie was amused by the term "errand runner" and replied,

"Who knows? Maybe CEO Wang wants to see our abilities, or maybe CEO Wang is just simply short of people."

"That's true."

Jiang Jun nodded, his tone unclear whether it was a sigh or sadness, "Perhaps he doesn't understand what Weapon design is at all."

Wang Jie also fell silent for a moment.

They were all doing Weapon design, and suddenly changing roles, they were still a bit unaccustomed to it.

If there was no demand for Weapon design here, what was the use of them coming here? Could it be that they were really just errand runners?

"Forget it, since we are here, we should settle in. Where isn't it about making money?"

"As long as this CEO Wang is willing to pay, why not do whatever? Let alone being an errand runner, even if I have to be a cleaner, I'm willing."

Jiang Jun picked up the zero egg, patted it, and said,

"I'm leaving, got to catch my flight."

Wang Jie watched Jiang Jun leave the conference room, was silent for a moment, and also picked up his own zero egg.

"Zero, where is my destination?"

"Your destination is: Donghai City."
