The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

September 2014, 8, China time.

It seems that Zhou Shouzi has already made preparations. In just 5 days, Douyin advertisements appeared on major media, not only the Deep Blue Group’s own media, but also other media platforms, and even major TV stations.

“The TikTok journey is waiting for you to start together.”

“Light up your life, starting with TikTok.”

“Write your own story with music and video.”

“Record beautiful moments on TikTok.”

In addition, Zhou Shouzi also invited a large number of celebrities to join Douyin, and even shot various advertising videos for Douyin. In addition, some interesting videos were wildly reposted on WeChat, and Douyin suddenly became a well-known product.

In fact, major Internet companies have long noticed the product Douyin, but Douyin has not received support from the headquarters since its establishment, which has led to the product being in silent development.

Suddenly, Deep Blue Group invested so much money in TikTok that it immediately attracted the attention of major Internet companies.

"Ding dong~"

[This week's product: Cadmium telluride optoelectronic material technology, priced at 20 billion RMB. ]

[Introduction: A power generation material that can be sprayed on glass. It can generate electricity at temperatures between -40 and 70 degrees Celsius. It can produce a maximum of 6 square meters of power generation panels. The photoelectric conversion efficiency reaches 23.3%, and the diaphragm power generation life is up to 35 years.]

After hearing the system sound, Han Chen did not rush to open his eyes, but checked the technology he had just purchased.

After reading the introduction of the system, Han Chen just wanted to say "awesome".

Cadmium telluride photoelectric materials can not only be sprayed on glass, but also on other materials, such as the front and back of mobile phones or the roof of cars, even ordinary glass.

A 2-meter-wide cadmium telluride generator can generate 390 degrees of electricity a year. If a family installs a 20-30 square meter cadmium telluride generator, then these diaphragms are enough to supply a family with electricity for a day. The most amazing thing is that this cadmium telluride photovoltaic material costs only 7 cents per square meter.

Its cost is only one-tenth of that of existing crystalline silicon solar panels, and the cadmium telluride generator can generate 570 watts of electricity per square meter, which is a full half more than that of crystalline silicon solar panels.

The most important thing is that after cadmium telluride thin-film photovoltaic modules have been working outdoors for 25 years, the tellurium content will not decrease because the modules use double-glass packaging technology; and the tellurium recovery rate can reach 92% after the waste modules are recycled. This solves both the environmental protection problem and the waste module recycling problem.

The recycling rate of cadmium telluride thin-film photovoltaic modules is second only to crystalline silicon solar panels, which have a recycling rate of 93%.

Moreover, the recycling cost of cadmium telluride thin-film photovoltaic modules is more than 70% cheaper than that of crystalline silicon solar panels.

After reading the introduction, Han Chen opened his eyes and found that Jiang Enzhu, who was sleeping beside him, was gone.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Han Chen went straight to the restaurant downstairs.

At this time, Jiang Enzhu was wearing an apron and preparing breakfast for Han Chen this morning in front of the stove.

"Oppa, breakfast will be ready soon. You can eat it in a few minutes." Jiang Enzhu said with a smile after seeing Han Chen.

Samsung headquarters in South Korea.

In the tea room, Lee Kun-hee was sitting at the tea table checking the reports sent by his subordinates.

Since the 15th of last month, Sanxing's OLED shipments have dropped significantly, and Sanxing's display department has become the department that has turned from profitable to loss-making. It should be noted that these two departments are Sanxing's most core departments.

These two departments affect the revenue of the entire Shanxing Group, and the revenue of these two departments accounts for a quarter of the group.

At the same time, these two departments also provided Shanxing with nearly 40% of its net profit.

The losses in these two departments can only be described as heavy losses for the entire Shanxing Group.

In addition to these two departments, Sanxing's mobile phone department is also on the verge of loss. Even though Sanxing has spent a lot of effort on marketing, the performance of Sanxing mobile phones is still far behind the mainstream mobile phones on the market. This part of the gap has caused consumers to no longer buy into the Sanxing brand.

At this moment, Lee Kun-hee was getting angrier and angrier. He had been in the business world for decades and had single-handedly created the Sanxing Group, which was rich enough to rival a country. However, because he had offended Deep Blue, he was losing ground and was defeated by a young man in his early twenties.

The blood rushed up from his chest to his throat.

"Pfft~"

Lee Kun-hee spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

The personal bodyguard quickly helped Lee Kun-hee up and tried to wake him up: "Chairman, Chairman."

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Deep Blue Industrial Park Deep Blue Group.

At this moment, Han Chen was sitting at the tea table, drinking tea, taking a break, and watching short videos.

[According to the latest news from Yonhap News Agency, Lee Kun-hee was hospitalized at 10 a.m. today due to a heart attack. According to insiders, Lee Kun-hee is in critical condition and may not survive tonight.]

"Could it be that this old guy vomited blood because Shanxing fell prematurely?" Han Chen murmured.

At this moment, Carroll Pacheco opened the office door and walked in. Since the OLED inkjet printer was manufactured, this guy's new job is to improve the existing OLED inkjet printer.

However, it is not so easy to improve what the system provides.

"Boss, you called me." Carol Pacheco greeted after closing the door.

"Carol, come and sit down. I have a new job for you." Han Chen said.

After hearing what Han Chen said, Carol Pacheco came to the tea table and sat opposite Han Chen.

"Boss, what is this job?" Carol Pacheco asked curiously.

"Here is the information about the new equipment. This equipment is also a printing equipment and is slightly less difficult than OLED." Han Chen handed the tablet to the other party and said.

After taking Ping An, Carol Pacheco looked at it carefully. This device was a printing device used to produce cadmium telluride. Just as Han Chen said, the inkjet accuracy of this device only needed to reach 4 microns.

The accuracy of the OLED printer is only 1 micron, and the difference between the two is not even on the same level.

As for other equipment, they can all be purchased on the market. As long as Carroll develops this printer, the mass production of cadmium telluride solar panels can be achieved. "Boss, give me a month to make it. Can I ask what this printer is used for?" Carroll Pacheco asked curiously.

"This printing machine is used to produce solar photovoltaic panels," said Han Chen.

"So that's how it is." Carol Pacheco replied curiously.

"Are you used to life in China after being here for so long?" Han Chen asked after pouring the other person a cup of hot tea.

"It's a habit. I kind of regret not coming to China earlier. Compared to China, Germany is a food desert and the shops here don't close on weekends. It's very difficult to buy anything in Germany after get off work. My wife and children like it here very much." Carol Pacheco said with a smile.

"If you really like staying in China, I suggest you apply for Chinese citizenship after four years. Chinese citizenship is the most difficult to apply for in the world. With the rise of China, the situation in Europe will become worse and worse. I think there will be no place safer than China in the future." Han Chen said.

"Boss, I will consider naturalization," Carol Pacheco replied.

"Of course I am not forcing you to become a citizen. The main purpose of becoming a citizen is to make it easier for you to work here," said Han Chen.

"I know, boss." Carol Pacheco nodded.

Han Chen then chatted with Carol Pacheco about his family situation and asked him if he needed help before letting him leave.

The Deep Blue Group paid him a high salary, which was enough for his family to live a comfortable life. His wife didn't even need to work now, she only needed to pick up and drop off the children from school every day.

Carol Pacheco said she has no pressure in life since joining Deep Blue Group.

If he still stayed in Germany, even if he was a senior engineer in Heidelberg, Germany's high expenses would still make him feel pressured.

September 2014, 8, China time.

Zhu Xiaotong ran to the door of Han Chen's office early in the morning and waited for Han Chen to come to work.

"What happened that you came to see me so early in the morning?" Han Chen asked as he opened the door.

"Mr. Han, just last night the EU sent out a message that they would conduct an anti-subsidy investigation on Deep Blue Auto. Slit called me last night and said that someone from the EU contacted him and said that as long as we are willing to disclose Deep Blue Auto's technology, the EU can consider canceling its investigation against us." Zhu Xiaotong said.

"I guess someone wants to obtain Deep Blue Automobile's technology from us by putting pressure on us. Since they want to investigate, let them do it. The export price of Deep Blue Automobile is more expensive than our domestic price, so they can't find out anything." Han Chen said.

If it were anyone else, they might be scared by them. But for Han Chen, the worst that could happen is that he would have to give up the European market. It is impossible to scare him in this way. Only those who don't understand would be afraid of them.

Han Chen believes that as long as they dare to increase tariffs, the authorities will definitely take corresponding countermeasures.

"Mr. Han, according to the information Slit received, if we are unwilling to compromise, they will consider increasing tariffs." Zhu Xiaotong said.

"America was the first to increase tariffs on us, but American people still bought our products anyway, didn't they? As long as our products are good, even if they impose tariffs on us, it will not stop consumers from buying our products. So you don't have to worry too much about this matter. You must be tough when it is time to be tough," said Han Chen.

"Okay, Mr. Han, I understand." Zhu Xiaotong replied.

2 p.m.

Zhu Xiaotong held a small press conference at the Sunshine Hotel in Shenzhen.

Ever since the Deep Blue Group was posted on the dark web, the Deep Blue Industrial Park, Deep Blue Wafer Factory, and Deep Blue Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute have all been put on level one alert, and Zhu Xiaotong could only hold the press conference outside.

The press conference was arranged in a simple and warm style. Several abstract paintings were hung on the walls, adding a touch of artistic atmosphere to the scene. A long table was placed in the center, with speech manuscripts, microphones, recorders and other press supplies neatly placed on the table.

Reporters were either sitting or standing, some were talking, some were debugging the equipment in their hands, waiting for the press conference to begin.

Just at this moment Zhu Xiaotong walked in from the door and went straight to the podium.

"I believe you have received the news last night that the EU is going to conduct an anti-subsidy investigation on Deep Blue Automobile. Regarding this matter, I want to tell everyone that anyone who is not a fool knows that this is slander, because everyone knows that Deep Blue's overseas prices are higher than domestic prices. I have never seen any anti-subsidy pricing like this.

We hope that the EU can end this ridiculous investigation as soon as possible and clear DeepBlue Auto’s name.

Otherwise, our company will consider raising the prices of all Deep Blue Group products in Europe to prove its innocence." Zhu Xiaotong said.

After Zhu Xiaotong finished speaking, he turned and left without any intention of staying to answer the reporter's questions.

This matter itself is a very clear thing, there is no such thing as countervailing duty at all.

Zhu Xiaotong held this press conference in order to use the power of the people to force us to do the following: If you don't quickly end this stupid investigation, we will consider raising prices for you.

Just when the reporters were still confused, someone shouted "Awesome" and broke the silence at the scene.

It is estimated that Deep Blue is the only party in the world that dares to threaten the EU with price increases.

"This Deep Blue Group is really awesome. They even dared to threaten the EU. If it were any other company, they would have been destroyed long ago."

"This is not normal. Deep Blue's products are always in great demand. Look at the number of reservations for Deep Blue cars."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Deep Blue has the most advanced technology. No one can refuse the most advanced products, unless they want to return to the primitive era."

"It's going to be fun now that Deep Blue is so tough. I guess the people in the EU will be mad if they find out."

"Even America doesn't dare to offend Deep Blue right now. I don't know why the person in charge of this matter is so crazy."

"It's obvious that this was pushed by BBA or the consortium behind them. Deep Blue has taken away so much of their market share, and they can't surpass Deep Blue in technology, so they wanted to trip up Deep Blue. But they didn't expect Deep Blue to be so tough."

Office of the President of Deep Blue Group.

Han Chen just received an email from Andrew Ng. The AI ​​search engine team at the AI ​​laboratory has already developed the AI ​​search engine. Of course, this AI search engine is only the most primitive version, and there are still many problems with this version.

For example, there may be problems such as accurate identification errors, etc. However, as the number of users’ searches increases, the search engine’s recognition rate will increase accordingly.

They now need to go online and get more users to use the AI ​​engine to train AI.

Andrew Ng asked Han Chen what to do next.

After reading Andrew Ng's email, Han Chen sent an email to Beno Toledo Jr. and Wu Qimin.

Let the two cooperate with Andrew Ng to create the AI ​​search engine related page. The AI ​​search engine will be released on the day the new phone is released. (End of this chapter)
