Technological advantages bind high-quality customers, share high growth, and deepen the integrated layout to enhance the core competitiveness. Relying on technical advantages, bind high-quality customers and achieve high-speed growth. The preparation process of precursor is complex, which has high requirements for experience accumulation and technology research and development. Relying on technical requirements, the company has bound LG Chemical, one of the leading global power battery manufacturers, to achieve rapid growth in the past few years; At the same time, as an independent precursor leader, customers extend to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) , Tesla. Cooperate with the leader of nickel resources, double wheel drive of new energy material recycling, and integrated layout to ensure the supply of raw materials and stabilize the cost. As a processing link, the precursor has a high proportion of raw materials in the cost, and the fluctuation of upstream raw materials has a great impact on the company’s profits. The company’s extension to the upstream industrial chain can effectively reduce production costs while improving the stability of raw material supply. In terms of the layout of upstream nickel resources, the company has reached strategic cooperation with the subsidiary of nickel leader Qingshan holdings; Cooperation agreement with rigoueza on smelting laterite nickel ore with an annual output of 30000 tons of high nickel matte. In terms of recycling of new energy materials, with the gradual production of 70000 ton metal nickel cobalt project in the southern base of Guangxi, the self supply rate of raw materials is expected to be further improved. With the improvement of integrated layout and the strengthening of cost barriers, the company will enhance its core competitiveness and improve its profitability.
