"and emphasises the demand for rapid development of advanced battery/supercapacitor technologies."
And, of course lightweight materials for body parts and seating.

I wonder if this is referring to the wireless earbuds that Callum was talking about being in development for end 2019/20 ... hope so!

[1teepee] 21/5/2019 21:47

Actually I mean they look really excited;)

China now has 421,000 electric buses in service and has also supplied electric buses to over 300 cities worldwide. Kinda puts the dawdling growth of EVs elsewhere into perspective and emphasises the demand for rapid development of advanced battery/supercapacitor technologies..

Wonder what they have been up to? Several mentions of 24/7. Matt taking summit like 20 winks

[1teepee] 21/5/2019 20:30

The people in the room don't look very excited

[woodpeckers] 21/5/2019 20:16

"New range of headphones to be launched Q3"???

"Range of new products available via Amazon"???"

A mention of shorters a few posts ago. If anyone does not agree with shorters and has not signed the petition then please do sign.

Sorry NR has not been the cautious CEO that you have intimated re-the China deal. Houston we have lift off! Quite a comment on the signing of a simple MOU. If the China deal is now being put on the back burner in favour of other deals It proves that the hype that move the price to 180 was simply that hype!The simple reason why the China deal has not materialised is that why would you when a company is prepared to let you test its material at minimal cost other than dangling a large carrot. China will rapidly become the largest producer of its own graphene

schmally - surely the gratest leverage with China would be a deal somewhere else?

Before people start I don't want vrs lower as not good for my heart I just want a bigger % gain on my gambling share

[luckykids] 21/5/2019 17:40

I doubt it Fest. Not with the messianic worshipping of Neill that I saw. Those folks don't drift away. I know I am one of them lol.First time I have sold 15000 vrs today like you, more like boredom to try and get a bigger % gain on another share RBD before returning the money to the fold in about six weeks. Probably boredom or born gambler, or both, which is the worst combination.Heyho VRS I am confident of long term but I want a bit of fun along the way

[adejuk] 21/5/2019 17:37

cash or credit
you know nothing re fest
he has been here longer than the 30 months i have and knows the business
dyor
neill hyped expectations beyond realism.
i admire him greatly and expect him to start delivering metrics and orders soon or lots of peeps, icl me, will lose heart and years we cannot afford

[festario] 21/5/2019 17:23

Cash, I'd hazard a guess that many of those who have attended investor days and the like, have quietly become disillusioned and drifted away.

[festario] 21/5/2019 17:21

Cash or card thats not any kind of answer to the point I have risen.Why are people so afraid to discuss elements which are not just the usual hero worship and technical uses of 2D materials.

[festario] 21/5/2019 17:19

Schmally, I have PM'd you.

[cashorcard] 21/5/2019 17:17

Fest - you really are lost soul with what seems no agenda.
Buy VRS, sell VRS, buyIOF, IOF tanks, nit pick at VRS and it will go on and on.
Try attending the investor days, AGM etc and understand the business, along with its products, people and the LONG TERM strategy, otherwise you will suffer on a daily basis.

[schmally] 21/5/2019 17:06

Fest, Neill never suggested "everything was in hand" or that a deal was imminent. When asked a direct question about timescales he stated that if they wanted they could be up an running by June last year. However, it was not in shareholders interest to agree that initial deal due to the risks involved and the valuation suggested by the Chinese. Clearly, things have progressed in terms of new Chinese partners, increased opportunities and with that, comes complexity and a need for added caution.

Dr Denis Koltsov:Just co-Chaired the session on standards for graphene industry at NGA Expo #ngaexpo. Absolutely amazing feedback on standards and terminology from key graphene industry players. I sincerely hope this will foster closer engagement of industry in developing...lnkd.in/gi_T6yJ

Hello Folks,

I gave Fest a couple of ticks (I'm not short) ! He put his point very politely and drew some good debate.

Conclusion - They will 'screw' us some time in the future, we just have to hope
Neill can engineer it so it cost them a LOT to risk it!

China may be the biggest bit of the 'pie' but the US, Europe rest of world is still massive compared to were we are now. Getting all that up and running as someone said, should produce income and pressure China for a good deal.

I also hope Nanene has lot's of uses, rubber, concrete, glass and not just plastic 'nik nacks'.

I think somewhere we eluded to brexit 'effects'. Could the 'i's and 't's of the contract depend on our trading position post exit?

I watch the US conference with great interest.

I have no influence of any kind, I'm married.

[festario] 21/5/2019 16:51

Schmally, I did spend about 10% of my working life in China, HK, India etc.. and I'm fully au fait with the cultural differences. None of this has anything to do with my point.The Chinese were strident in their greed to get moving, our CEO assured us that everything including the IP and financing were fully in hand.16 months later we have not progressed it would seen, in part for those very reasons.
