Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 330: An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his arms

Now the big orders have changed from graphene batteries to lithium batteries. It's so passive! Too passive!
Wang Fu was not the type to keep his anger to himself, and he subsequently announced the Lianxiang partnership to senior management.

The result was even better than he said. The executives immediately thought that it would be great if this was an order for graphene batteries!

Yang Qing had previously mentioned the quote for purchasing graphene batteries, which was really high. Who wouldn’t be anxious when the fat meat fell from his mouth?
"Enthalpy Entropy Energy is too mean. It's just a little bit of sales rights. I would have accepted it even if they limited Biddy's sales amount. I didn't expect them to not grant any authorization at all. It's really shameful."

"That's right. There's no end to the money. There are so many orders now. I run more than I receive. Entropy Energy, why do you think the money is too high? Why are you so arrogant?"

"Is there really no way to make a breakthrough in technology? I can't stand seeing the face of Enthalpy Entropy Energy for even a moment!"

The top management of Bidi was boiling with resentment, not because they couldn't keep their cool, but because they were so disappointed with what Enthalpy Energy did.

You can earn money by yourself, but if you can’t earn enough by yourself, you don’t let your partners earn it. Fuck!

This sentiment spread among the upper echelons of Bidi and then slowly spread downwards. Everyone in Bidi wanted to get rid of enthalpy-entropy energy as soon as possible and play with graphene batteries themselves.

When Yang Qing returned to Yanjing, he immediately convened a meeting of senior executives and technical experts to analyze the information collected from Bidi.

Lianxiang's technical experts were in a very complicated mood. After dismantling K2 and observing the downstream production links of BYD, they were amazed at the high technological content of graphene batteries.

Just like semi-metallic semiconductor materials, they can change the trajectory of human civilization development in their respective fields.

The era of graphene has arrived. Experts cannot imagine a future without graphene technology, nor can they find anything that can replace this technology.

So they were depressed that such good technology was not in the hands of Lianxiang, or even in the hands of Lianxiang's allies.

Lianxiang’s top management was also frustrated. After searching around, it seemed that none of their suppliers could produce graphene batteries.

The battery companies that previously supplied batteries to itself were from Japan and South Korea, but they didn't seem to have any plans for graphene batteries and have always been focusing on lithium batteries.

There is no need to say much about South Korea. Later, Samsung became a bomb because it made the lithium battery too thin and compressed too many materials to increase the mAh. As a result, the mobile phones kept exploding, and the mobile phones were turned into weapons. The sales volume was terrible.

Panasonic in Japan has also been developing lithium batteries, and later Tesla has been using Panasonic batteries.

This country’s choice of new energy is not electric cars, but hydrogen fuel.

It is conceivable how much effort Toyo can put into batteries?
It would be good to maintain the original speed of technological iteration.

Lianxiang has completely lost the possibility of obtaining graphene batteries from foreign countries.

Not to mention the United States. The hollowing out of the U.S. industry has long since resulted in the country handing over its manufacturing industry to other countries. That country is even more unreliable. Its own computers are all supplied by South Korea and Japan.

"Shenchuan is not without weaknesses. After research and analysis, we found that Shenchuan has at least two major problems. Lianxiang can regain its advantage if it can make good use of them." Lianxiang's market experts are analyzing at the meeting.

Hearing this, the executives of Lianxiang perked up. They had been confused for a while. The reason for the confusion was that they were always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Shenchuan. After being hit for a long time, people became numb.

"Shenchuan has an advantage in the market for two reasons. One is that Shenchuan uses Coco Assistant on the Windows system, and the other is the application of graphene batteries."

"However, no matter how advanced and intelligent the Coco smart assistant is, it is still based on the Windows system, and Shenchuan has never obtained the legitimate right to use the Windows system. Although Microsoft lost the lawsuit recently, Microsoft will always take the path of system legalization, so Coco assistant will have to fight another lawsuit with Shenchuan sooner or later, and the next time may not be so smooth."

"To sum up, graphene batteries have a greater impact on Lianxiang. If Lianxiang can have graphene batteries, it will be easy for it to return to the top of sales."

“However, the divine ship can only dominate in Xia Country, it will not work on a global scale.

Lianxiang has strong sales channels around the world and has good relationships with some foundations and computer associations in the Western world. This is good for Lianxiang but bad for Shenchuan!"

So these are the two aspects that Lianxiang can operate in.

One executive frowned, not very satisfied with this analysis: "What if Shenchuan establishes its own overseas sales channels? With graphene battery technology, it should be able to open up the market."

A playful smile appeared on the face of the market analyst. He was waiting for this question to appear. Otherwise, how could he show his insight?
He shook his head: "That's not the case at all. The two points I mentioned before are exactly the reasons why the divine ship cannot be exported overseas!"

Seeing that everyone is still a little confused, the experts did not keep you in suspense.

These guys are all big guys. If you meet someone you can't afford to play with and make him angry, you won't have time to eat.

"Think about it, everyone. In the overseas computer market, Microsoft has the final say on the system, and the genuine control is very strict. Intel and AMD have the final say on chips! As long as it goes beyond the borders of Xia Country, the operation of the Shenchuan will definitely be sanctioned! Other countries will not protect the Shenchuan like Xia Country does, don't you think?"

"The United States will not allow any country to compete with it for profits! The Plaza Accord is an example!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement. American multinational companies like Microsoft have enormous power and can easily influence the attitude of a small or medium-sized country.

In other words, only Xia and the Bear Country can withstand it, but other countries are not so tough.

Shenchuan produces pirated Windows systems, and Microsoft is suing them in foreign countries. Every time they win, they can ban the sales without any reasoning!
"So what about the other aspect?" Lianxiang's executives understood the first point, but they still couldn't figure out the second point.

“Lianxiang has good relationships with foundations and computer associations in many countries. We can completely use this to replace the sales of Shenchuan.

For those countries that really need cheap computers or open computers from Xiaguo, Lianxiang is a good choice.

By doing so, those countries will not be accused of targeting Xiaguo enterprises.

When the time comes, we will use quality and price issues as reasons to explain it.

Anyway, Shenchuan’s relationship with these computer associations is not as close as Lianxiang’s, so it will not be easy for it to enter other countries’ markets.

We can ask Shenchuan for graphene batteries after Shenchuan hits a wall. After all, if Shenchuan remains in our hands, we cannot open up the huge overseas market, but Lianxiang can. In this case, Shenchuan will definitely be anxious, so it will consider providing graphene batteries. "

"That's right!"

"Makes sense!"

Lianxiang's top management suddenly realized that this market expert was indirectly reminding Lianxiang to use its advantages in human resources and not to compete head-on with Shenchuan in terms of technology. Is it any use even if the technology is advanced?

Lianxiang has been building up his personal connections in Xia Country and the country for so many years, and has a solid foundation that cannot be compared to a nouveau riche like Shenchuan!
Moreover, once his thoughts were opened, Yang Qing keenly grasped a point. He did not say it at the high-level meeting, but went directly to find Liu Dazhi after the meeting.

First, he reported on today's meeting and sorted out the ideas expressed by the experts. This was done to allow Liu Dazhi to mobilize relevant resources to make preparations.

Afterwards, Yang Qing shared his extended ideas.

"Since Shenchuan will not be able to open up the international market by then, Lianxiang will come to it to buy graphene batteries. It is better to get the technology now."

Liu Dazhi suddenly heard something different: "How to do it?"

"You see, graphene battery technology is so important that it must not be exported and must be handed over to the country. If it is in the hands of a private person, if Lu Shan has other ideas and leaves Xia Country, or uses this technology to exchange market resources with foreigners, it will be a loss to the country."

Liu Dazhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he understood what was said next. As long as Lu Shan handed over the graphene battery technology to the country, it would become a national technology, and it would be much easier for him to apply to use the technology at that time.

Even if the country does not directly provide the technology and builds its own graphene production line, it will be easier for Lianxiang to obtain graphene batteries than it is now!
Furthermore, Liu Dazhi really didn’t think that he would not be able to acquire the technology by that time.

Lianxiang has always been the leader in the domestic computer industry. If the country wants to develop a graphene battery production line, Lianxiang cannot be avoided!

Liu Dazhi admired Yang Qing's talent in his heart, he should be called a genius, with a lot of clever ideas.

Now that he understood Yang Qing's meaning, Liu Dazhi immediately began to prepare. The first step was to highlight the importance of graphene battery technology.

This step is easy because this thing is really important.

Lianxiang mobilized university professors and some media with whom he has a good relationship to praise the graphene battery technology. Why do these university professors and media have such a good relationship with Lianxiang?
Of course, the two are not destined to be together, it’s all about money.

Yenching University, Shuimu University, Shanghai University and other universities are sponsored by Lianxiang. Caixin.com, Xinjing News and other media are participating in this publicity campaign, and all major platforms are naturally not left out.

A new era has arrived, and Internet publicity has become a battleground.

With the money in place, the work was done really well. Articles were published continuously, and some even organized a research conference and published the research results as an industry report.

"Xiaguo's graphene battery technology is world-leading!"

“Graphene technology will change the future!”

"We are holding the key to the next era!"

"On the prospects of graphene battery technology."

There was an overwhelming amount of praise all of a sudden, and even Ji Yue was a little confused, but since they were all good things, he just followed everyone else.

Anyway, this is the achievement of their boss, which employee wouldn’t be proud?
"Suddenly, the media, university professors and platforms are praising graphene technology and graphene batteries, and portraying you as very tall and glorious. According to some investigations, it seems that this was instructed by Lianxiang. There is not much specific evidence. Some bloggers from Jiyue were also invited to write such articles. They found the content objective and some of them also participated." Qiao Weiwei informed Lu Shan of the developments.

Some people will pay someone to write articles. This practice is not uncommon. As long as they are realistic, do not exaggerate negative emotions, and have correct values, Ji Yue generally won't care.

After all, everyone wants to earn more, and everyone has the desire and right to express themselves.

Lu Shan didn't react to this: "I know, the mouth is on someone else's body, we can't control it."

"But this doesn't seem right. Lianxiang doesn't get along with us." Qiao Weiwei was a little worried.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. There's no point in thinking about it. If we always focus on how to prevent other people's actions, will we have time to do anything else?" Lu Shan counselled her. Qiao Weiwei was still a little young, but she would mature after experiencing it a few times.

"Ok!"

Lianxiang, this is called flattery! On the one hand, those articles wrote about the advanced nature of graphene technology, on the other hand, they praised Lu Shan's achievements, but on the other hand, they began to talk about the importance of graphene battery technology to national security.

As time goes by, the importance of graphene to the country has gradually become a propaganda focus.

Although there are many articles, they mainly start from several perspectives.

The first is the energy issue.

As we all know, Xia State is a major oil importing country, and about 70% of its oil is imported from abroad every year.

These imported oil and other important energy sources such as natural gas are used in industrial production and transportation.

If graphene battery technology is applied to the transportation industry, the oil used in this area can be saved, which will be a huge sum of money.

It doesn’t matter even if we continue to import so much oil, it can be stored as energy reserves.

The energy reserve pressure of the entire country will be greatly reduced.

The second is the issue of industry. Currently, only battery technology has entered the market with graphene technology, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this thing is definitely not as simple as making batteries.

Many industries of the next generation are all linked to it.

Needless to say, its application in weapons is light weight and high protection. In the electronics industry, processing equipment, and high-precision instruments, due to its special design, it can replace many traditional alloys and semiconductors.

This can be expected, because Xiaguo now has topological semimetal semiconductor materials. With the experience of using them, the use of graphene in such fields will be faster.

The value amplification factor of high-precision industries cannot be ignored. It is impossible to measure how much employment, social security, pension, and social stability the entire industrial chain will generate.

Therefore, graphene battery technology is of great significance to the Xia country and has already affected national security.

Some articles have begun to point out that if this technology flows abroad, then the advantage that Xiaguo has worked so hard to build in this area will be completely lost. If it is destroyed by someone with ulterior motives, then the country will fall behind the West again for several years.

The article calls for ensuring the security of China's technology, as China has been subject to the control of Western countries in many high-end industries in recent years. Graphene technology is one of the few high-tech technologies that has been native to China and has broken through the blockade!
