As the waiters of the Huaguo Grand Hotel filed in, serving various national banquet-level exquisite dishes, the dinner officially commenced.

The celebrities knew the purpose of their invitation. Chen Long was the first to take the stage in the banquet hall, singing "True Hero" for the industry leaders and executives from major companies.

After singing, the crowd burst into applause.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Long came to the table of Gu Bai, raised a toast to the leaders, collected some goodwill, and then returned to his seat.

While watching these top celebrities perform, people engaged in casual conversations, making the atmosphere at the table quite harmonious.

After a long time, Hua Yun couldn't hold back anymore and said to Gu Bai beside him, "Chairman Gu, what does Elder Tu have to say? You can tell everyone now. I've gone to great lengths to bring you all together."

In response to Hua Yun's eagerness, Gu Bai chuckled lightly.

"Since Minister Hua is in a hurry, I'll get straight to the point. This banquet was indeed orchestrated by Elder Tu at my request, because I want to establish a collaboration with all of you."

"?"

Everyone looked at Gu Bai in confusion.

If you want to collaborate, couldn't you just contact them directly? Instead, going around in circles and having the officials gather everyone together leaves the leaders puzzled about what Gu Bai is up to.

Facing the leaders' confusion, Gu Bai didn't rush to explain but instead turned to the person next to him, Ren Zhengfei, and smiled as he asked, "Elder Ren, Hua Wei is undoubtedly the number one in the domestic high-tech industry. What are your thoughts on the electric vehicle industry?"

Although Ren Zhengfei was also somewhat puzzled, since Gu Bai asked, he thought for a while and said, "Currently, electric vehicles are still in a nascent concept stage, but the market is already large enough. Especially with President Wang from BYD here today, it would be more appropriate to ask him."

After speaking, everyone turned their gaze to Wang Chuanfu.

Wang Chuanfu did not hold back and said directly, "Actually, the market value of BYD already tells everyone this point. Although the electric vehicle industry is currently only in the concept phase, the so-called new energy is merely adding electric energy, but it has attracted widespread financial interest. Although some people who don't understand find it bizarre, it's actually quite normal.

No matter how times change, the four major industries of clothing, food, housing, and transportation can never be replaced, and the concept of electric vehicles represents the 'transportation' industry. If the electric vehicle industry can develop to replace traditional automobiles, the companies that first explore this concept will be the biggest beneficiaries. Tesla in the Beautiful Country and our BYD are testimonies to this era's dividend."

After listening to Wang Chuanfu's words, everyone nodded in recognition.

"Then if at this moment there is a technology that can accelerate the reform of electric vehicles, even allowing the new energy industry to formally enter a general era, what would the value of such technology be?"

Gu Bai's words left everyone silent.

It was still Wang Chuanfu who spoke first.

"If someone truly possesses this technology, it means they control an entirely new era! I dare not measure the value, perhaps even ten trillion USD is possible.

But this is impossible. Not domestically, nor is the industry's leader Tesla internationally, more than groping their way across the river. According to our research department's predictions, acquiring the technology Chairman Gu mentioned requires at least 30 years of gradual research, and this 30 years is a conservative estimate."

The attendees, all high-tech industry leaders, despite not fully understanding the new energy industry, have heard of it vaguely, and they all nodded.

"Could it be that Chairman Gu is saying you've mastered some new energy technology?"

Wang Chuanfu joked with Gu Bai.

Gu Bai didn't mind his jest, gently shaking his head.

"Then what collaboration does Chairman Gu have in mind for us?"

Gu Bai didn't answer his question but continued, "The new energy industry is too broad, but I do possess a technology. If any of you are interested, I can share it with you."

"Please go ahead, Chairman Gu."

"Apart from President Wang, President Lei, and Elder Ren, as pioneers in the domestic mobile phone industry, you should be familiar with the concept of graphene batteries, right?"

Lei Jun revealed his signature smile.

"Certainly, the most important aspect of the smartphone industry is the chip, followed by the battery. The concept of graphene batteries has been around for many years. However, I share the same opinion as President Wang; there's still a long road to walk before entering the general era."

As for Ren Zhengfei, he did not speak, presumably agreeing with Lei Jun's view.

Gu Bai nodded with a smile, then gestured to Gu Yi who stood behind him.

At Gu Bai's signal, Gu Yi promptly took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he was holding and handed them to Gu Bai.

Gu Bai gave one copy of the document to each of the leaders.

"These are my cooperation documents; everything is thoroughly explained in them. You can take a look and bring up any questions with me."

The group accepted the document from Gu Bai with puzzled expressions, their initially indifferent expressions growing more and more astonished as they read more deeply.

Finally, after a few minutes, Lei Jun couldn't hold back. He placed the document down and asked, "Chairman Gu, have you mastered the mass production technology of graphene batteries?"
