Chapter 1149 Electric vehicles are good things

Hu Xiaoli touched her little braids, "Aunt Zhang, everything you did was beautiful!"

Now she is the prettiest girl in the class, and many children envy her braided hairstyle. I like the hair clip in her hair.

Xiao Bao also plays with her, and she has made many new friends here, making her happy every day.

Most importantly, I don't have to see my annoying grandparents anymore, and I have many more elders around, who are so nice.

After the two children were seated, Zhang Xiufang took them home on her tricycle.

Liu Meilan followed on her bicycle, talking to the children as she rode.

Because Sifang Island is small, only the main road is accessible by car and bus; other areas are mostly accessible by bicycle or motorcycle.

Liu Meilan stroked her chin, listening to the sounds of the motorcycles and watching the exhaust fumes, and began to miss electric bikes.

Although she had never ridden an electric bike in her previous life, she knew that it was a common household item that had replaced bicycles and motorcycles as people's favorite mode of transportation.

There are also some electric vehicles nowadays that are not very good in terms of either quality or mileage.

Liu Meilan felt this was a very good investment opportunity. It had good batteries and a good design. She didn't understand the technology, but she could spend money to poach people from it.

In addition, she has seen many electric vehicle designs, so she can be responsible for the appearance.

Seeing Liu Meilan's startled reaction, Zhang Xiufang asked, "Meilan, what's wrong?"

Liu Meilan replied, "Sister Xiufang, I've thought of a really good investment project!"

Zhang Xiufang asked in surprise, "What?"

Liu Meilan replied, "An electric vehicle is called an electric bicycle! Motorcycles use gasoline, while electric vehicles use electricity!"

Zhang Xiufang was slightly taken aback. "I've seen people install a motor on their bicycles before, and they go pretty fast! But it looks scary to me, and it's not safe!"

Liu Meilan shook her head and chuckled, "Although that's just the most basic prototype, the electric car I want to make will be safer, more stable, and almost silent! When I get home, I'll inquire about the relevant technology!"

Zhang Xiufang nodded, "I can't help you with that! But you can ask Professor Xie, or you can ask those groomsmen from before. They're scattered all over the country, and they know what's available in each place!"

Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, "Sister Xiufang, you're right!"

After returning home, Liu Meilan told Professor Xie about her plans.

Professor Xie blinked. "Are there really electric bicycles that light and nimble?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "It'll be ready soon! Mom, I'll get you a nice, compact one then, so you won't have to ride a bicycle anymore!"

Professor Xie nodded. "That's wonderful! It's a bit better to ride a bicycle when it's not windy. But riding against the wind is especially tiring! If you want to ask me for help with medical experts, I might be able to offer some assistance, but I'm not an expert in that field!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "My third brother's best man provided me with a lot of information last time. I'll see if there's anything I can use!"

Liu Meilan turned on her computer and searched for keywords, and she actually found it.

It was someone I knew. There was a factory in Xu Feng's workplace that produced batteries, and the performance of those batteries was quite good.

Liu Meilan found Xu Feng's contact information and then called him.

Xu Feng was very surprised to receive Liu Meilan's call. "Meilan, what brings you to call me?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I saw in the information that you have a battery factory over there?"

Xu Feng was startled by these words and sat up straight. "Yes! There's a university in our province that specializes in this field and has achieved remarkable results! The batteries they've produced are intended for use in bicycles. They'll modify them to create bicycles that are lighter and smaller than motorcycles and run entirely on electricity! However, this technology is still under development. If there's more funding, the process will be faster! Meilan, are you thinking of investing?"

Liu Meilan smiled. "I've been thinking about that. I was originally going to visit the experts and professors at the school. But I'm quite busy right now, and my child is still young and I can't leave. So, could you please invite the expert team over and bring the relevant materials and samples? If possible, I'd like to invest! Of course, I won't let them come for nothing! I'll cover their travel and accommodation expenses!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was thrilled. "Meilan, I'll make the call right now!"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

The other party already has a design concept and good technology. If they can improve the technology and double or even more the mileage, that would be even better!

The battery factory in Xu Feng's area, although its batteries weren't yet being used in bicycles, was doing quite well in other areas of manufacturing. However, it was barely managing to break even and keep the livelihoods of over a thousand people.

He was the one who was in charge of receiving the team of professors and experts from the provincial university, so Xu Feng had his contact number.

After Xu Feng explained the situation to Professor Li, Professor Li was also very excited.

Although universities can apply for research funding, out of so many research projects and universities across the country, very few of his projects are allocated to him.

If he can secure investment and funding, he is confident that he can improve his technology and create more patents.

Professor Li immediately agreed. He asked the school for leave and then took the latest samples, along with a team of several graduate students and one or two doctoral students, straight to Shenzhen.

With travel expenses and accommodation included, everyone would be happy to go to a place like Shenzhen.

If we can close the deal, that would be great. But if we can't, it's okay too; we can just treat it as a vacation.

And so, Professor Li led his team of eight people to Shenzhen.

To ensure smooth communication, Xu Feng arranged for them to stay at the same hotel he was staying at. It was cost-effective and safe! It was also very convenient to get there by bus or taxi.

Xu Feng arranged a time to meet Liu Meilan at the investment company.

Professor Li instructed the students, "Make sure we have all the materials ready. Be careful when facing questions from investors later! Of course, don't be nervous. Our team has excellent and advanced technology, which is also the direction for future development."

A student scratched his forehead and asked in confusion, "Teacher, but I see in many places that many people like motorcycles because they are faster and more imposing, while electric bicycles have a better future."

Professor Li smiled and said, "I don't deny that motorcycles have many advantages, but they also have many disadvantages! For example, they go too fast, causing many traffic accidents! Whether it's the rider or the pedestrian, the probability of serious injury or death is very high. That's why many cities have bans on motorcycles, preventing them from entering certain urban areas."
