Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 321 Yesterday Mrs. Niu Today Little Sweetie
Soon, 2000 small batteries rolled off the production line, enough to assemble 2 standard versions of the Fuxi K.

K2 is a mid-to-high-end product with different configurations at different prices.

Without graphene battery, it will be 1 more expensive than K300, and with battery, it will be 500 more expensive.

It would be more expensive to improve the internal hardware, but no matter how expensive it is, it feels worth it, as the configuration is really generous.

Shenchuan has not been idle and has already prepared 2000 K2s. This time the K2 has a more reasonable design. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the final version to be launched on the market.

The benefits of quality control are obvious: when manufacturing new products, the products will not be too bad and minor mistakes can be reversed quickly.

After the batteries are installed, some are quickly sent to Shenchuan’s stores to be displayed to everyone and attract traffic.

Most K2s also started selling their products online.

It’s not that Lu Shan doesn’t want to sell offline, but looking at the current situation, it’s not possible.

Everyone is so enthusiastic. Once the offline sales start, the scene will be unimaginable. Who knows how big a problem will be.

The incident of T0 trying to snatch K2 in the street a while ago has not yet passed, so let’s not test everyone again.

You can sell offline, provided that the market has already satisfied part of the demand and everyone's enthusiasm has slightly decreased. Online sales also require a strategy.

The two methods of scheduled sales and lottery are carried out simultaneously to give people some hope. One method alone is too torturous.

The rush to buy is not fair to many ordinary people, as the economic gap will be reflected in Internet speed and computer performance.

Lu Shan was once a victim of this kind of thing. It was really impossible to get a train ticket online back then. There were so many people that the server couldn't handle it, let alone the computers and internet speeds of ordinary people.

Anyway, the 2 Ks were sold out in an instant. Looking at the number of people who have expressed their intention to make a reservation, there is already more than one million people. There is no point in looking at this data further. Anyway, the current production capacity cannot keep up. It is better not to look at it. At least I won’t feel that much pressure.

Most companies publish the number of reservations to make their products appear popular, but Shenchuan doesn't do that. Sales volume is king, and too many reservations will affect the judgment of some things.

This is also Lu Shan’s requirement. No matter how many orders there are or how urgent they are, he cannot lower his requirements.

The store only has the function of display and delivery. Whenever the K2 arrives, there are always a bunch of people who want to go into the store for a physical inspection. It is useless to say that the store is out of stock.

Everyone said that they were not here to buy anything, isn’t it okay if they just wanted to experience it?

The experience results made them very satisfied. The performance of K2 is so powerful that it lives up to the positioning of Shenchuan.

What makes everyone more curious is actually the battery life of graphene batteries. Although many articles have been read about it, it still attracts attention.

Consumers are curious whether such a small battery can really have such a large power?
The experience store is naturally generous. They don't turn off the lights at night and keep the glass open to show everyone that they are not charging.

As expected, people came one after another to experience it.

In addition to people in the industry and media reporters, there are more ordinary consumers.

Since there were only one or two computers available for experience, everyone lined up and queued all night.

The scene was so hot that all major media, freelance journalists, bloggers and others had already come out. Seeing this scene, some reporters couldn't help but be moved by the scene.

"In the past, everyone pursued imported products, including electronic products. Foreign countries have always led the development of cutting-edge technology, and this cannot be denied."

"But now, Shenchuan has changed this situation, and domestic products are leading the cutting-edge technology. Even in fields like graphene, we have begun to stand among the world's most advanced levels. It is really..." At this point, the reporter could not find the right words.

After thinking for a while, the reporter continued: "The development of national science and technology is getting better and better. I believe more ordinary people will be able to enjoy such convenience."

Continuous reporting leads to continuous attention, and continuous attention leads to continuous investigation. Every aspect of the divine ship has been investigated, and everything that can be investigated has been investigated thoroughly. Of course, that is limited to what can be investigated.

In short, it was soon discovered that BYD was the OEM for Shenchuan’s graphene batteries.

The media immediately believed that it was Lu Shan who authorized the graphene battery to BYD.

This is not entirely wrong. Lushan authorized BYD to do OEM, but it does not mean that it authorized the graphene battery technology to BYD.

is that useful?
It's useless, because BYD's status in the battery industry is so high that everyone subconsciously thinks that Lu Shan came up with the theory and the specific implementation was left to BYD.

The equipment used to manufacture graphene is so advanced and complex that it doesn't look like they were made by Lu Shan.

Even though Lushan has a semiconductor factory like BanSi, people always feel that owning a high-end manufacturing company is the limit for him.

It’s exhausting to do one of them. The key question is where do you get so much energy and so many production patents?

So everyone subconsciously thought that Bidi took on the production tasks, and Lu Shan was just reaping the benefits of the technical principles.

With this prior understanding, things will naturally develop in this direction.

Bidi's interviews came one after another, and Wang Fu was naturally happy to see this scene.

He estimated that graphene batteries would be popular, very popular and very soon, but he still didn't expect them to become so popular so quickly!

It's like a person originally thought that a genius would get 95 points, but unexpectedly got 100 points. If it weren't for the fact that the paper only had 100 points, he would probably have scored higher.

All the interviews were accepted. Wang Fu personally received some of them, while for others he arranged for someone to receive them.

The words spoken were very artistic and promoted Biddi well.

In the face of the interview, Biddy's answers were very intelligent and slippery, and the core idea was "seemingly true but not quite."

It is clearly just an OEM, but BYD did not mention this aspect in its response. It has been promoting its participation in the project, and generously admitted that the batteries were produced by BYD. It also took everyone to visit its highly intelligent production line.

Then I will take you to see some aspects of our own battery processing.

It is difficult to tell whether this link is the processing step of lithium battery or graphene battery, but it is clear that the technical content is not low.

Even if an insider comes out and says that this is not a link in the graphene battery process, it will be useless because no one knows what this link is like.

Besides, why should Bidi be shown to everyone?
This is a secret, so no one complained about it. Biddy already has an aura of independence, and this time he showed off his muscles, so there was something to ask in the interview and something to write about.

"Bidi has always adhered to the concept of independent innovation and insisted on taking its own path. As the saying goes, it is better to have something yourself than to have it from your parents. Bidi will continue to improve itself and strive to keep up with the development of the times."

"Foreign companies still dominate the world, and this is true in many industries and fields. BYD has been deeply involved in the battery industry for many years and has made some insignificant achievements, but this is not enough to rest on its laurels. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If you don't work hard, you will soon be left behind."

"This cooperation with Zemeng Energy has brought Bidi great benefits. We are happy that Xiaguo has such an excellent technology company. There is great hope for the revitalization of Xiaguo!"

Bidi took this opportunity to make a big splash, and never lied, so no one would accuse it of bragging. More importantly, Bidi established the image of an autonomous, independent, and innovative national enterprise in front of the Chinese people, which had a very positive impact on its future development.

This operation made Lushan’s employees very angry. Not to mention the employees of Zemeng Energy, even Bansi and Jiyue were very disdainful.

Jiyue’s employees even wanted to use algorithms to reduce the traffic of interview articles in which Bidi flattered himself, so that people could not see them.

Zhang Leimin was very angry. Everyone worked hard to solve the production technology, and now Bidi comes here to take the credit?

The younger technical team even started cursing directly, and the students in the natural science laboratory spoke very clearly and interestingly.

"Before, they treated us like Mrs. Cow, getting in the way and causing trouble. Now that graphene is popular, we have become little sweeties."

"Bidi is a scumbag, damn it!"

"How did Ze Meng work so hard to save face? No! The more I talk about it, the angrier I get. How about I expose the truth?"

"Calm down! We have a confidentiality agreement."

"I'm not leaking technology, and we don't know about this. Don't Bidi's employees know about it?"

The emotions of the employees were quickly fed back to Lu Shan, who specifically advised his employees on this matter.

The general meaning is that no matter what people say outside, don't worry about public opinion and just do your own thing.

Because a big tree attracts the wind, isn't it more practical to let Bidi block the wind for you while you focus on making money?
Bidi made such a boast. If the production capacity cannot keep up in the future, it will not be Zemeng Energy that will be held accountable when Bidi is held accountable.

Lu Shan himself is a low-key and down-to-earth person. This personality trait also gives the company the same personality trait, and the employees gradually become like this in such an atmosphere.

With effective guidance from humor and the employees themselves being smart and able to adjust their mindsets in a timely manner, there were soon no more voices of dissatisfaction.

The development of the matter was indeed similar to what Lu Shan had expected. Bidi boasted about his achievements and made everyone believe that it was he who had developed the mass production of graphene batteries.

Then a lot of computer manufacturers came to ask for the production of graphene batteries for laptops, and some mobile phone manufacturers asked BYD if it could produce graphene batteries for mobile phones.

There were also drones, street lights, surveillance, and everything related to batteries. There were so many people that Wang Fu even began to regret having said too much too early.

But Wang Fu still managed to smooth over the situation. He did not reject anyone or make any promises. He only said that he would increase production capacity after he returned.

This made some computer manufacturers somewhat dissatisfied. They subconsciously thought that Bidiqi was overpriced, so they raised the price.

The attractive price made Wang Fu very excited, but the upstream production was limited, and he needed the supply from Lushan to keep up.

The supply of laptop batteries is still insufficient, and Wang Fu does not have the energy to meet the needs of other industries for the time being, but he will not turn a blind eye to the market. He asked the design department to design the corresponding needs and give a solution as soon as possible. Although he was mentally prepared for the wide application of graphene, he was still surprised when the market developed to this point.

"No! Waiting for Lu Shan to supply graphene is too passive!"

Wang Fu paced back and forth. He wanted to have in-depth cooperation with Lu Shan and get involved in the source of graphene production.

Otherwise, the supply is too small and too unstable, and the bullshit you blow can be easily exposed.

It was too painful to have no decision-making power. Wang Fu really couldn't just ignore the possibility that a large amount of money might slip away.

Wang Fu was not absolutely sure about discussing in-depth cooperation with Lu Shan, and there was a high probability that he would be rejected. Once rejected, he had to start the alternative plan.

Wang Fu’s alternative plan is to take over part of the sales rights.

Currently, all the orders for graphene batteries are given by Lu Shan. It would be better if BYD could directly take over the graphene battery orders.

Wang Fu did it as soon as he thought of it. He asked his men to prepare the materials and choose a time to meet Lu Shan as soon as possible to show sincerity in cooperation.

With the support of graphene batteries, Fuxi K2 has triggered a scramble from many parties, and the movement is so big that it has even affected overseas.

Westerners subconsciously thought that this was a farce, created by the divine ship to deceive the backward and ignorant Xia people.

The West has long blocked information about Xia Country, which has led many people to view Xia Country in this way. Even after more than ten years, there are still people in many countries who think that Xia Country is still holding demonstrations and movements all over the streets!
Such fantastic and absurd views occur in the Internet age when consultation is highly developed, which makes people sigh at how important the right to speak is.

However, there are always people who don't believe it. A technology blogger in the United States found a way to get a Fuxi K2, wanting to see whether this so-called graphene battery is really that magical.

The method he used was naturally to pay money, so that his friend who was studying at Xiaguo University could get one at a price five times the market price, and then have it shipped back to China.

When Shobkov opened the smuggled package he had been longing for, he was immediately shocked by the K2. This thing was so light and thin, so thin that it made people wonder whether it could be found if it was thrown into a pile of books.

Then he turned over the back and saw that the graphene battery pack was very small, about the size of a AA battery.

After carefully disassembling it, Shobkov saw five soybean-sized graphene batteries. His expression was the same as that of Xia country consumers when they saw the batteries for the first time.

"Can this thing really provide power for that long?"

With extreme distrust, Shobkov turned on the computer.

As soon as he opened it, Shobkov was stunned. The computer battery power was indicated with decimal points. It was too detailed.

He started testing immediately, played the game for an hour and then quit. He found that the battery had hardly been touched, and the drop was only about 0.3%.

The games he plays are not very intense, so the decline is not as fast.

So he switched to a 3A game, but turning it up to high settings not only burned up the graphics card, but also consumed a lot of power!
