The full advertisement rollout for the Supercell battery was in progress. Many investors heard about the project and became interested, but Anna had to decline their offers since Willstark would be providing all the funding needed.Things were going well, and she had successfully removed the production line at Austra while relocating the Supercell battery lab from York City to Austra.All the necessary materials had been purchased, and only one final component remained, which the Willstark representative claimed was already on the way. They were also working on securing partnerships with phone companies.To that effect, she had found a company called Vovu. They were about to release a new phone, and if production of the Supercell battery began before two months, Vovu would receive the first supply. Sico Technology would then wait four months before releasing sales to the wider market.By then, Vovu’s new phone was expected to sell like hot cake. But to secure that priority position, t
