Before long, representatives of the automotive industry and the mobile phone industry agreed to Lin Yun's pricing.
They had no choice. If they didn't agree, their competitors would. They would then be left behind.
Most importantly, although Lin Yun's asking price was not low, it was not high compared to the current market rate.
However, they were somewhat reluctant. Lin Yun's profit margin was huge.
But when they thought about it, it seemed acceptable, considering that Lin Yun was pioneering a new era with such a profit margin.
After all, this new technology was developed by him. No one knew how much he had invested in research and development, which is notoriously like pouring money down a drain. Many people risked their fortunes on it but ended up with nothing. Now that Lin Yun was successful, it was perfectly reasonable for him to make such a large profit.
With this reflection, they felt more at ease.
Closing many big deals consecutively, Lin Yun was in high spirits.
Perhaps they were nervous because Lin Yun said Qingyun Company intended to launch its own phones and cars, fearing that Qingyun would cut off their supply.
Perhaps they were worried that Qingyun's production capacity was limited and that if their competitors bought too many batteries, they wouldn't have any to purchase and wouldn't be able to compete.
These companies signed many contracts.
The total sale of mobile phone batteries reached 100 million units, with a total sales volume of 18 billion.
The total sale of car batteries was 500,000, most of which had a capacity of 200 kWh and 300 kWh, and a total sales volume of 610 billion.
So in total, contracts amounted to 790 billion.
This was an astonishing amount.
The crowd didn't know that for Lin Yun, most of this amount was pure profit. If they did, they would have been even more envious.
Just looking at those contracts made them very envious.
From the price of Qingyun's power banks, they could infer that the 790 billion contracts would mean a gross profit of at least 400 to 500 billion.
Even with expenses off, the net profit would still be around 300 to 400 billion.
An annual net profit of 300 to 400 billion is what only a few top-notch companies in Huaxia had, right?
Of course, Qingyun must deliver enough goods to earn this much money and profit.
100 million mobile phone batteries and 500,000 car batteries was no small amount and some people immediately questioned whether Qingyun could deliver on time.
Xia Qingqing stayed in Shen City to handle things, and Lin Yun returned to Immortal Origin County with some bodyguards.

This time, he especially chartered a helicopter to meet him at their provincial airport.
He took a helicopter back to Immortal Origin County as soon as the plane from Shen City landed in the province.
It only took just over three hours to reach Immortal Origin County.
The first thing Lin Yun did was to gather all the staff at the recruitment points.
By then, there were already 5,000 employees who had been hired. This was not a small number.
But Lin Yun felt it was too few.
In Shen City, with such a large population, the Cosmic Trading System was able to absorb such a large amount of spiritual energy.
There was too little in Immortal Origin County.
There were too few people in Immortal Origin County.
"Tomorrow, you are to announce that for all currently hired employees and those to be hired, the basic salary of ordinary workers will be raised to 5,000 per month, with working hours unchanged and overtime pay still double," Lin Yun said to the employees in charge of recruitment.
You can't catch the wolf without the pain of letting go. He wanted to boost the population of Immortal Origin County quickly, so he had to use attractive benefits.
A standard salary of 5,000 per month for ordinary employees was a high salary across all of Huaxia. Even if a few companies could reach this standard, they were still the minority.
Sending this salary standard out would definitely attract many workers to Immortal Origin County.
Actually, he could have sought to increase the population in Shen City, which already had a large base. That would be more effective.
However, he was looking at the long term.
Although Shen City currently had a large population, there were too many powerful forces there, many of which were set in stone. His attempts to develop quickly there would encounter many restrictions.
Just consider the housing prices and land prices there. Ordinary workers, who had a basic monthly salary of 5,000, wouldn't be eye-catching in Shen City even if he invested another 100 billion there. This would not cause a significant fluctuation in the population there.
Immortal Origin County was different. The county's economy was weak and development was mediocre. It was situated in a central plain region where housing prices and land prices were cheap. Not only would it be easy to expand, but once it did, it could communicate with all directions and gather people from everywhere. This was much stronger than Shen City, which was located in a corner by the sea.
Perhaps, the population of Immortal Origin County would not exceed that of Shen City within a year, but after a year, it might not be the case.
He planned to develop Immortal Origin County as a future base.
