Chapter 115 No! You can't do that!
"What a silly weasel!"
Human Resources Director Lin Fangshi was not so polite to Li Feng; she cursed him under her breath.
As the HR director, Lin Fangshi was relatively familiar with Ye Kai's situation and knew about the projects Ye Kai had handled and his achievements.
What kind of brainless person is a young man who can win the favor of Miss Zhou at the age of eighteen and solve the funding gap that has been troubling the entire Green Energy Core Power?
Not to mention, Ye Kai is still the company's largest shareholder, holding 29% of the shares, which gives him enough power to influence the company's internal personnel arrangements.
Although Li Feng ostensibly used technology to restrict Ye Kai, the major shareholder, from making unreasonable demands, he still looked down on this mysterious young man at heart.
Lin Fangshi felt that Li Feng might have certain advantages in terms of technology, but there were people who could replace him. However, from an intellectual perspective, Li Feng was not a good technical director.
"It's just that the new energy power battery industry is still in its infancy, and talent is scarce. Do you really think we can't do without him?"
Lin Fangshi had already sentenced Technical Director Li Feng to death in her heart.
Li Feng himself wasn't exactly a tech genius, so for Ye Kai, the major shareholder, replacing a disobedient and disrespectful technical director was an incredibly simple matter.
"It seems like someone is not convinced by you."
Zhou Xiaoli naturally saw the open and covert attacks from these management members, so she covered her mouth and laughed, whispering to Ye Kai.
"normal."
Ye Kai wasn't surprised. If he put himself in Ye Kai's shoes, he wouldn't believe that a young man who had just graduated from high school could guide a group of professionals who had been working in the new energy power battery industry for many years.
However, while he understands, Ye Kai would still be unhappy if someone questioned his leadership.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere.
As the major shareholder controlling 29% of the company's shares, Ye Kai can replace this technical director at any time without leaving him with any rebuttal.
Upon entering the production workshop, Ye Kai's eyes lit up immediately.
The tall, spacious ceiling is quite bright, and rows of automated equipment are operating in an orderly manner.
On one side of the workshop, a huge electronic display screen updates production data in real time: output, pass rate, energy consumption and other information are clearly displayed.
Workers dressed in cleanroom suits are operating the equipment busily and orderly; different colors of their suits represent different job positions.
"This is the electrode fabrication area."
"The coating machine covers the slurry onto copper and aluminum foil, and then through processes such as drying and rolling, it forms electrode sheets as thin as cicada wings."
"These electrode sheets will be cut to specific sizes in preparation for subsequent assembly."
Worried that Technical Director Li Feng might cause another unpleasant situation, CEO Zhang Mingshan took the initiative to explain to Ye Kai the situation on the production line.
Of course, the core area of the workshop is the battery cell assembly area.
Ye Kai noticed that the equipment used here is basically automated, stacking materials such as positive and negative electrode plates and separators in a strict order, and then making them into battery cells through winding or stacking processes.
The robotic arm precisely feeds the battery cells into the packaging machine, where they undergo processes such as hot pressing, liquid injection, and sealing to ultimately form a complete battery cell.
Throughout the entire process, there was no visible human intervention; only occasionally were technicians monitoring the equipment's operation.
The area with the most personnel is the cell testing area, where rows of battery cells are sent into the testing equipment for multiple performance tests, including voltage, internal resistance, and capacity.
Defective products are automatically rejected, while qualified products proceed to the next process.
Quality inspectors monitor data in real time via computer screens to ensure that every battery meets strict quality standards.
Finally, in the packaging area, the registered battery units are placed into casings, labeled, and then packed into boxes. They are then transported to warehouses via the logistics system, awaiting shipment to other locations.
"That's quite interesting."
"I thought our company was just in the preparation stage, but I didn't expect it to be in production now."
After noticing this, Ye Kai turned around and said to Zhou Xiaoli.
"We certainly can't just build one laboratory."
"Without acquiring a relatively mature production plant, we wouldn't be able to understand the later experimental effects of the product. Moreover, the current production workshop is not small in scale and can provide our company with considerable profits."
Zhou Xiaoli had a better understanding of the situation here, so she explained it to Ye Kai.
For high-tech companies like them, achieving breakthroughs in the laboratory is naturally very important, but the most crucial step is whether they can immediately transform such innovations into productivity and products.
If they don't have their own production capacity, then the profits they can get will be much smaller.
"Our factory has a pretty good production capacity."
"It generates about 15 million in profit each month. Although it can't be compared with the industry leaders, it's not something that small businesses can match."
When the company's CEO, Zhang Mingshan, mentioned this matter, he also looked quite proud.
"Understood."
Ye Kai followed them around the production workshop and listened to everyone's explanations. He basically understood the entire production process, so he didn't stay there any longer and went straight back to the office area.
"As a major shareholder, what exactly is my authority?"
After taking his seat in the small conference room, Ye Kai turned his gaze to Zhou Xiaoli, who was sitting next to him.
"Permissions?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised, wondering what this young major shareholder was up to.
"Major shareholders certainly have a lot of authority."
"Especially since you are the most important member of the board of directors, you can influence the company's strategic direction, business plans and investment decisions through the board, and you can also influence the appointment of the company's management."
"However, all of these require a resolution from the board of directors."
Although Miss Zhou didn't know what Ye Kai wanted to do, the question wasn't difficult and could be explained in a few words.
Although Ye Kai is a major shareholder, he is not an absolute controlling shareholder. He has significant authority in the management and operation of the company, but his power is not unlimited and must be exercised within the framework of the law and the company's articles of association, while balancing the interests of minority shareholders.
"Then I suggest we get a different CTO."
"I don't want a disobedient member in the company's management team."
Ye Kai's gaze fell on Li Feng, the technical director opposite him, lingered for a few seconds, and then he spoke in a cold tone.
"What?!"
"No! You can't do that!"
Upon hearing this, Technical Director Li Feng was stunned as if struck by a heavy blow, and after a long while, he began to vehemently oppose it.
