Ann: Blackstone to raise $21M in Placement and SPP, page-52

What is this obsession with partnerships? You're not the first to misconstrue the relationship between a supplier and customer here. Ecopro is a supplier of a top quality green product and has customers. Samsung is a customer of Ecopro, Panasonic can be too, any single battery manufacturer on the planet can pay to purchase Ecopro's cathodes and the more the better. That won't make them a partner, it doesn't give away control. Do you want to bar Tesla from purchasing products made from BSX nickel? You hate Elon Musk? I'm not a huge fan personally, but I want him to buy Ecopro's cathodes and they will be the only ones on the market, so far, which have the environmental credentials Musk has requested and will therefore have to purchase or be a massive hypocrit for failing to do so
