A few snippets from an interesting interview with the chairman of Tunghsu (Li Zhaoting) - worth 10mins to read imo


As the graphene industry developed, Li Zhaoting decided to treat it as an independent business and made it a higher degree of corporate strategy instead of depending on other industry.


Last July, Tunghsu promoted the world’s first graphene-based Li-ion battery product, “Graphene King”. It is believed that this product can be charged to 4800mAh in 15 minutes and can work under -30~80℃ environment with more than 3500 times cycle life.


Tunghsu has planned to invest 1.65 billion yuan for the graphene-based Li-ion battery project in Taizhou. This project now had completed the land acquisition and was registered. Additionally, Tunghsu had successfully developed the graphene-based LED light, the graphene-based electrothermal membrane, and other graphene-based products. They all had achieved the breakthrough of industrialization in transforming heating from coal to heating from electricity, intelligent cities, power battery, and other fields.



In fact, Tunghsu was not intended to go to the new energy car industry. When the company acquired the power battery technology, one of the new energy car core technologies, Tunghsu planned to buy a battery company.

Li Quannian researched the industry and its top 10 companies. During this process, the new-energy-car idea came out. “There was no suitable battery company for us so we decided to skip it and bought the new energy car business.” Li Quannian said.

Vrs already got lots of test results, relatively low risk for us. Obviously in the chinese product areas i assume. No wonder they are keen to progress with vrs, on our win/win terms. The 'right deal' lth's all want. He wants to build a big company ! Aimo. Happy holder here. Best ellis

Edit - oh and building upon credibility we already have, neill believes this mou progresses the company on. Aimo. Best ellis

It would be higher had he said Liverpool.But he said Man U and why not?We're just leaving Newton Heath via 1968 European Cup and entering the early Ferguson era in December.

One good order and this will explode it will happen !!

[bootie64] 07/11/2018 11:36

Andymoore

MOU is a sign of progress that's coming

We held on to our guns

We are creating a brand new science, have faith in the team, accelerating progress

Financial support - they have issues we can resolve, they will put their hand in their pocket to fund scale up for their needs. we can get to the market quicker

They give us contacts and connections

[club sandwich] 07/11/2018 11:35

so what does today's news tell us about the concerns over IP? If we can conclude that the IP issues have now been resolved then presumably there should be a rapid slew of other similar announcements - after all, as we're constantly told, there are 30+ similar conversations going on.

"It is envisaged that Tunghsu will provide financial support as well as strategic support and in return Versarien will provide the required intellectual property to enable the industrialisation of graphene-based projects"

"ideal customer, the Man Utd of the electronics world"

Another £3k for me, surprised the share price isn't much higher on this news.

[bobsworth] 07/11/2018 11:33

Great podcast - an amazing deal with financial support for scale up!

In for another 10,000 shares

[mikkydhu] 07/11/2018 11:33

Neill: "They're willing to put their hand in their pocket to enable scale-up." Almost his exact words., Surely very helpful indeed.

[woodpeckers] 07/11/2018 11:32

"They've quite happily said they'll put their hand in their pocket if we need cash.."

[realcooltrader] 07/11/2018 11:31

Willing to fund scale up for their needs.

The Man Utd of the electronics world.

[dafad] 07/11/2018 11:30

best bit from poddy was "we held on to our guns""seems to me vrs were plauing hardball and got what they wanted

[club sandwich] 07/11/2018 11:26

"This should be £2 mms playing down"

as Ricketts keeps reminding everyone in podcasts, the price is whatever the markets say it is.

[jbe81] 07/11/2018 11:24

Very good podcast.

[realcooltrader] 07/11/2018 11:23

“We’ve got 30 or 40 of these opportunities”

[chimpandy1] 07/11/2018 11:18

It would make sence that if several companies or cities were close to signing a deal that you would like them up and sign them in 1 trip to China as aposed to visiting multiple times. I also noticed that in the pictures of the deal signing with Qingdao that matt posted the other day, Peter is also there. However in the latest pictures he isn't? Now he may just be out of frame as Matt is barely in but if he isn't there then where else could he be?

[andymoore07] 07/11/2018 11:16

Excellent, what was said please? I won't get to listen to it until tonight

[impvesta] 07/11/2018 11:16

[chumbo] 07/11/2018 11:15

Struggling to open that, like last time

[burtond1] 07/11/2018 11:10

Decent podcast with @tmsreach and Doc Holiday...https://twitter.com/tmsreach/status/1060126397874745344?s=21

[spike_1] 07/11/2018 11:04

Chimp certainly seems logical, and - if true - could also be China related such as a factory in Jinan.

[ic0gcds00] 07/11/2018 10:58

This should be £2 mms playing down

[chimpandy1] 07/11/2018 10:51

I asked Neill on Twitter if there would be a podcast later. He hasn't replied yet. If there is no podcast then to me that shows that another announcement is soon on the way and there will be 1 podcast to include both.

[axotyl] 07/11/2018 10:47

Someone send this to Sandwich to chew on?

[ratpat999] 07/11/2018 10:46

Club stop it !!
