The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 252, Arrogant Young Man (please vote for me)

The game arcades in Tokyo were sold out very quickly, so there’s not much to say.

The selling price of each unit is US$3,999, which means the gross profit of each unit is US$500.

Seven hundred pieces of equipment, that’s $350,000.

After deducting part of the cost, Raymond suddenly grinned.

Although the profit is not high, if the volume is large, you can definitely make a lot of money.

After all, not every product is a Huayue calculator that can make him a lot of money.

The bulk of the profits were still made by China Resources.

So, Raymond couldn't help but go to the technology research and development department and found Halifax and Edbet.

"Boy, how is our technology imitation work going now?"

However, these things are not a problem at all for North America.

"Then I will give you five million US dollars. As long as you develop it, your entire team will be able to receive this part of the bonus. But for individual outstanding contributions, I will reward him with another one million US dollars."

In that part of the mainland, labor costs must be very low. They can produce such equipment. There is no reason why Clay Company can't.

The daily revenue of a game console room with thirty devices is US$1,440. Little Watson can quickly calculate the profit.

Raymond has been coveting this part of the profit for a long time.

All you need to do is bring a sample and many factories can produce it.

The Huayue calculator has not yet been successfully copied, the Huaxin radio is still in the laboratory, and now there is an arcade game called Ping Pong.

The price of a table tennis arcade machine is US$3,499! ! !

How to do?

Raymond asked Halifax, is it a lack of talent or a lack of funds?

As long as it is developed, Raymond said that he will definitely not be stingy with the funds.

Ugh!

too difficult!

The more Watson urged, the more Winkelmann wanted to die.

There is almost no product that can do this, it’s terrifying.

Although everyone is not very clear, why did China Resources directly launch chips instead of directly selling lithography machines?

It’s so expensive that he wants to hit someone!

As China Resources enters the lithography machine market, it means that the price of chips will only become cheaper and cheaper.

God knows how much profit there is.

Seriously, they all want these bonuses.

Be specific and don’t be too obvious!

Therefore, Watson Jr. is certainly anxious.

Fame is gone, only profit remains.

At the IBM headquarters in Armonk, New York, Watson Jr. is also asking the technical director to know when a ping pong arcade machine will be developed.

And this kind of popularity lasts twenty-four hours a day.

But how can it be that simple?

"BOSS, we are still researching it. The current technical difficulties lie in chip design, programming language, etc."

But the current market is changing very fast, and IBM cannot afford to take its time.

Halifax looked embarrassed, and after hearing this, Raymond's face also became ugly.

Little Watson really, really wants to win the game, otherwise, will IBM lose face?

In recent times, IBM's stock price has fallen a lot.

Winkelmann wanted to die because he was now forced to take charge of many projects.

In particular, China Resources has also launched a lithography machine, which costs 20 million US dollars per unit and can produce chips with 10,000 transistors. It is definitely the most advanced lithography machine technology now.

China Resources can develop it, but there is no reason why they can't develop it in North America.

The only things that are slightly more technically difficult are transformers, picture tubes, etc.

Do it!

It’s so profitable!

He didn't want to be a second-rate dealer all the time, but wanted to catch up quickly.

You should know that the photolithography machine he purchased from Fairchild Semiconductor Company cost US$30 million.

The most critical thing is that these are not innovative projects, but imitation projects.

Currently, there are many game console rooms on the market, and almost every game console room is very popular.

The hardest part is the host part.

The sense of accomplishment is almost taken away.

Hearing Raymond's words, Halifax and Adebet's eyes lit up.

Especially after running fifty game arcades for a week, Raymond became even more eager for equipment like the ping pong arcade machine.

In fact, everyone knows that many parts of the game arcade are very simple.

Raymond was very interested in imitating Hua Hin radios and table tennis arcade machines.

It can be said that as long as China Resources launches any new products, IBM's stock price will fall within a day.

It seems that market investors no longer trust IBM as much as before.

Unless IBM can produce eye-catching financial statements, it will be too difficult to reverse its current disadvantage.

While IBM was busy, Robert Noyce and others at Fairchild Semiconductor had already vented their anger.

With the news they brought back from Clay Company, Noyce, Blanc, Gordon Moore, Greenick, Eugene Clare, Julius Blanc, Gerast and the others were all furious.

"Despicable, shameless and obscene China Resources Company, Fake!!!"

"Son of a bitch Bitchi, how dare they do this? How dare they!!!"

"Too deceiving!"

After venting their anger, Noyce and the others had to face the predicament at hand.

Noyce and the others were dumbfounded when China Resources originally launched a chip with a unit price of fifty US dollars.

Then they had a hard time selling some of their lithography machines. Even if Moscow wanted to buy lithography machines, they still sold them.

Noyce even personally went to find channels to help clear the relationship and transport the lithography machines.

Moscow has not developed a proximity lithography machine, so Noyce directly asked Moscow to order ten units.

Ten photolithography machines, each costing 20 million US dollars.

At least Fairchild Semiconductor did not lose money and made a small profit.

However, now, China Resources has launched similar products with the same price but more advanced technology.

Got it!

Noyce and the others were completely dumbfounded, and their mentality instantly broke through.

In the conference room, Gordon Moore's brows were tightly knitted at this time, and he could not relax at all.

Ugh!

too difficult!

Facing a top opponent like China Resources, Fairchild Semiconductor has no power to resist.

"We can't continue to be so decadent. Let's all go back to the laboratory. Starting from the chip process, we must develop a better lithography machine and we must turn this situation around."

Noyce said in a deep voice to cheer everyone up.

Because Noyce knows very well that if it cannot survive this hurdle, Fairchild Semiconductor may really fall here.

The previous proximity lithography machine was thought to be able to turn Fairchild Semiconductor around.

In the end, it was just a small profit, which was a bit of a waste of work.

Anyway, the shareholders are not satisfied, the parent company is not happy, and Noyce and others are also very uncomfortable.

But that’s the fact. The current semiconductor industry is too difficult to deal with.

Companies like Texas Instruments and Crayon can afford to be second-tier businessmen, but Fairchild Semiconductor cannot.

While Noyce and the others were preparing to "get braver with each setback" and continue to retreat to innovate technology, Howard had already opened five game console rooms and made a lot of money.

At the diaper company, the daily profit is not very large, it can only be said to be enough for food and clothing.

Howard's attention to the diaper company has been greatly reduced.

Now his attention is focused more on the game console room.

He arranged fifteen game machines in each game room, for a total of five game rooms.

The investment in the ping pong arcade alone was US$262,500.

There is also the rent for the game console room, water and electricity, etc., which is about one or two thousand per month.

The daily revenue of the five game arcades is US$3,600.

Basically, the cost can be recovered in about three months.

Howard couldn't be happier with this kind of business.

Moreover, Howard's mind was very flexible. He drew inferences from one example and set up a refrigerator in the game console room and sold drinks, mineral water and other items.

There is even a canteen shelf that sells snacks, cigarettes and other products.

Anyway, it provides extremely convenient conditions for these people who come to play games, so that these game fans can focus more on playing games.

The daily revenue of each game console room is more than 700 US dollars, and sometimes it can even exceed 800 US dollars in revenue, which makes Howard extremely happy.

Compared to the happy Howard, Jessica has been very depressed recently.

Because her boyfriend, John, has recently become obsessed with arcade games. As long as he is on vacation, he will go to the arcade room.

He even dragged Jessica to play games, but Jessica was not interested in such mentally retarded games.

What's more, the game console room was smoky and very unfriendly to a lady like her.

Jessica wanted to get married and start a family, but John became like a teenager and was homeless every day.

Makes Jessica very angry.

So, Jessica broke up with John in anger.

After the breakup, John was even happier.

Because in this case, no one will care about him.

And he soon found another girlfriend in the game console room who also liked playing games, and he didn't care even more about Jessica's departure.

In New York, 16-year-old Donald was also taken to the game console room by his classmates to play games.

Although Donald also likes childish games like ping pong, he pays more attention to the game console business.

As we all know, Donald is from the third generation of wealth and grew up with a golden key in his mouth.

Therefore, he is extremely confident and proud. He never believes in failure and is not afraid of failure.

But in the eyes of many classmates, Donald has excellent grades and is also a good athlete.

Now Donald has not graduated from high school, but his family is in business after all. He has also heard about the fortune history of his grandfather and his father, and is relatively sensitive to business practices.

After Donald played, he told the owner of the game console room that he wanted to buy a game console and asked how much it would cost.

As a guy like him, buying a game console is real, but asking about the price is the real purpose.

Although Donald is not short of money, as a kid from a rich family, it is normal for him to spend money lavishly.

What's more, his popularity in school means that his popularity with women is about the same.

As we all know, Donald is a romantic person, and when it comes to things between men and women, even when he is old, he is still very fond of him.

So he hopes he can make money.

"Young man, can you afford it?"

Today, Howard happened to be guarding the game console room. When he saw Donald, a young man talking to him, he couldn't help but asked with a smile.

Donald is arrogant:

"Don't talk about a game console. I can buy it even in your game console room. Just tell me how much it costs, and I'll buy one and take it home."

"Six thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars a piece, how about it? Do you want to buy it?"

Howard immediately dropped a sentence, and he was going to see how Donald, the little brat, was going to answer.

As a result, Donald snorted coldly:

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Such a machine costs four to five thousand yuan at most, but you actually sell it for seven thousand yuan. Haha, I'll give you another chance to re-quote, otherwise I'll go next door and ask."

New York is the largest city in North America, and of course there are many arcades here.

After hearing this, Howard shook his head and said nothing more.

Donald didn't care either. Although he was rich, he was not a fool.

He couldn't handle being slaughtered as a fat sheep.

A few days later, Donald found out the wholesale price of the Ping Pong arcade machine: US$3,999.

Good guy!

Really expensive!

But he quickly calculated the profit of the game console room, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

But how to purchase game arcade machines from China Resources, which is far away on Hong Kong Island, is a big problem.

As for the management staff and the shops in the game console room, these are not problems at all.

After that, Donald still had connections through the circle.

Actually contacted Howard again.

When the latter saw Donald, he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Howard didn't expect that,

Donald is actually the eldest son of a famous real estate family in New York.

Therefore, I learned that Donald had asked to work together.

Howard didn't take no for an answer.

He was just an ordinary businessman.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Donald.

However, how to discuss cooperation with China Resources and how to obtain shares from many companies such as Clay Company?

That's Donald's own business.

In mid-July.

It’s time for the second batch of Ping Pong arcade machines to be sold.

As we all know, high school summer vacation in North America usually starts in mid-June or early July and lasts about ten to twelve weeks.

This summer vacation is relatively long, providing students with sufficient time to carry out social practice, travel or participate in summer camps and other activities.

The New York Military School where Donald and his friends attended had a holiday in early July, so he came over to Hong Kong Island after the holiday to prepare to participate in the ping pong arcade purchase meeting organized by China Resources.

China Resources has prepared more than 20,000 pieces of equipment this time. It must be enough, right?

"Howard, why did you bring your son here?"

In the conference room, Raymond saw Donald next to Howard. The latter was a young man with a face that was so tender that he stood out among the middle-aged and elderly people in their thirties, forties, or even forties.

It's like a husky breaking into a pack of wolves. It's very eye-catching anyway.

However, before Howard could speak, Donald already had a stinking look on his face and curled his lips:

"Is he worthy of being my father? Your eyes are not very good either. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup."

Howard suddenly smiled bitterly, while Raymond was stunned.

Felix and others were very curious. Among them, Frazier, the president of Texas Instruments, asked more:

"So who are you? You are so young and haven't graduated from high school yet, right? Do you have money? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

At this time, the arrogant Donald gave a look on his face with a very disdainful expression.

"Who are you? Why should I answer your question?"

Frazier suddenly shrank and laughed.

However, he refused to answer, but Howard quickly explained it to everyone.

At the same time, his explanation made everyone get to know Donald, and also made everyone think that Howard was Donald's butler.

What a lot of fun!

Although Raymond, Felix, Frazier and others are not New Yorkers.

But I have heard more or less about Donald’s family.

After all, they were engaged in real estate development in New York and were quite wealthy.

But, that's all.

You know, that's real estate, which is completely different from the electronics industry. Immediately, everyone thought that Donald was only sixteen years old and it was normal for him to like to play ping pong.

While everyone was chatting, Liu Guanzhong finally arrived belatedly.

Seeing Liu Guanzhong arriving, everyone stood up in a hurry.

Out of basic courtesy, Donald also stood up.

Liu Guanzhong was shocked when he noticed that a young man had actually arrived at the scene. Fortunately, he hid it well and was not discovered.

Soon, Liu Guanzhong generously announced the number of table tennis arcade machines this time, and then started the lottery.

I was originally worried that it wouldn't be sold out.

As a result, Raymond and others were overjoyed and snatched away all the goods. There was no unsaleable issue at all.

The unit price of 25,000 pieces of equipment is US$3,499, which amounts to a total of US$87,470,000.

Among them, Donald spent money to purchase one thousand pieces of equipment, with a total cost of 3,499,000.

Of course, he didn't take all of this part by himself, but he and Howard took it in partnership, each taking half.

Five hundred pieces of equipment cost more than one million, which was a lot of money for Donald.

Anyway, it was a matter of handing over the money and delivering the goods with the other hand. Liu Guanzhong was not worried about whether the other party was a sixteen-year-old boy.

The goods were sold out, but Raymond and the others still asked Liu Guanzhong, when will the lithography machine arrive?

Donald was happily preparing to return to North America with the goods. When he heard about the lithography machine, he couldn't help but sit down and learn more about these things.

After a trip to Hong Kong Island, Donald felt that his previous behavior in high school was too childish.

This time, he relied on his intelligence to earn living expenses no matter what.

Although his parents and grandmother hoped that he could study hard and not worry about business matters for the time being.

But I have been exposed to it since I was a child, so how can I block such a thing?

After learning about the lithography machine, Donald couldn't help but whispered to Howard:

"Is China Resources really that powerful? Don't we have photolithography machines in our country?"

The latter also knew little about lithography machines. After hearing this, Raymond couldn't help laughing and said:

"Donald, do you want to know about the lithography machine? I can introduce it to you."

Donald rolled his eyes, not bothering to deal with the other party.

These capitalists are all very thoughtful people. Although Donald is very confident, he is not a fool.

He is only sixteen years old this year, how can he be the opponent of these capitalists?

Therefore, if you can't deal with these people, the best way is to stay away from these people.

Even if you want to come into contact with these people, you have to be vigilant.

Seeing how smart this kid Donald was, Raymond stopped talking.

Wanting to deceive this young man and take revenge on him for his rude and arrogant behavior just now was just an idea in Raymond's mind.

Anyway, the days are long, so why are you anxious?

In Beijing, Chen Guohua of Zhenhua Research Institute is busy working at this time.

Qiu Zongyue had already told him that his manufacturing development plan had been reviewed and approved directly.

At present, 50 million yuan will be invested to start building a satellite city centered on the Yao Ling Ling, Yao Ling Yao and Yao Ling 2 factories affiliated to Zhenhua Research Institute.

In the future, the Majuqiao production team located on the outskirts of Beijing will be transformed into the new Majuqiao town.

Such a satellite city centered on semiconductors will become the Silicon Valley industrial base for the entire capital and even the country in the future.

Wudaokou has naturally become a research and development center.

However, the specific direction of these future plans must be looked at later.

Anyway, given the current situation, it is too early to talk about this.

After the plan was launched, this was a great thing for Chen Guohua.

Therefore, no matter what happened, he would try his best to find out about it.

Therefore, Chen Guohua has naturally become very busy recently.

Brother units such as 985 Factory, including Zhu Dayu, Xu Yanmou, Cheng Bohong and others, are also very busy.

Due to Chen Guohua's suggestion to sell photolithography machines, China Resources sold fifty-eight photolithography machines at once, which made 985 Factory and other units so busy that they took off in an instant.

But because they are too busy, they hope that Chen Guohua can send technicians to provide technical guidance and inspection.

why?

Because the production of photolithography machines has too high technical requirements.

It's not like they haven't produced photolithography machines before, but after all, the quantity was small. How could they produce it on such a large scale as now?

And in this process, one more thing is inevitable: power consumption!

Of course, this incident did not cause trouble to Chen Guohua, but Qiu Zongyue said it in passing when he stated the matter.

But Chen Guohua took it seriously, because recently, he also saw the coal power plant in the Majuqiao town construction plan.

Pollution!

Environmental protection is not just a simple word.

But we need to take concrete action.

At the same time, there is another problem, that is, the problem of electricity consumption in the west.

The eastern side is fine, with a dense population and a developed economy. Using the power transmission and grid connection model, this problem can be solved relatively quickly.

At the same time, there is abundant water in the east, such as the southern region, where they can build hydropower stations to solve the power problems of some industries and residents.

But what about the West?

Lead a power grid line there?

Isn’t this nonsense!

The mountains are high and the road is long, how much investment is needed?

Is that what the mainland today can afford?

Not to mention now, even the mainland in the next millennium would not dare to do this.

Following the practice of the first decade after the millennium of the original time and space, Chen Guohua felt that it was necessary to engage in scientific research in these areas.

As a result, a laboratory called Photovoltaic Power Generation Laboratory was established.

However, this laboratory is currently just an empty shell with nothing.

On this day, when Qiu Zongyue was walking around Zhenhua Research Institute, he happened to see the sign hanging at the entrance of the laboratory and took it to heart.

"Guohua, why did you set up another laboratory? And it's related to power generation. Can't you set it up directly under the generating unit and power transmission equipment laboratory?"

After meeting Chen Guohua, Qiu Zongyue mentioned this matter.

In Lao Qiu's view, this is somewhat of a waste of resources.

When Chen Guohua heard this, he immediately smiled, found the information simply and quickly, handed it to the other party, and said:

"Leader, please take a look at these materials first."

Qiu Zongyue didn't understand very well. When he took it over and took a look, he was confused as to what polycrystalline silicon, cells, photovoltaic glass, etc. were.

"Why are you showing me these? I can't understand them."

Although he was not illiterate, it was really difficult for him to read such highly technical information.

Chen Guohua was not angry when he saw this, but said patiently:

"Leader, these are the problems that our photovoltaic power generation laboratory needs to solve. Do you know? If we want to realize photovoltaic power generation, we must solve the problem of raw materials."

"The most basic raw materials are ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer polymer materials, backsheets, photovoltaic glass, soldering ribbons, cells, as well as sealants, frames, laminates, junction boxes, etc."

"Let me show you this battery chip. There are already a lot of technologies involved in this thing."

Cells are the core component in photovoltaic power generation and are mainly used to convert light energy into electrical energy.

After the cells are connected in series and parallel to reach a certain rated output power and voltage, they can form photovoltaic modules.

Solar cells have two raw materials, one is silicon wafer and the other is silver paste.

Silicon wafer is one of the main raw materials for cells. After processing, N-type and P-type transparent conductive films are formed on the front and back of the silicon wafer, which are the main carriers of light transmission.

So where do silicon wafers come from?

This is to mention polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon among semiconductors.

In the original history of time and space, in the summer of 1979, Jimmy Carter, the class president of North America, gave a speech in front of the newly installed solar system on the roof of the White House.

At that time, it was mainly because the world was experiencing an oil crisis, so the development of new energy became a slogan for many people.

Jimmy Carter says solar energy is the future.

In a country where capital is everywhere, everyone understands.

There is nothing wrong with solar photovoltaic power generation being a new technology.

However, the solar system in the White House is very expensive, costing US$280,000.

But the energy it provides is only enough for the kitchen water heater.

A high price for very little energy. Bullshit solar energy is the future.

It can only be said that capital is the master of deceiving people.

why?

Because the photovoltaic power generation technology at that time was still very backward and could not convert most of the solar energy into electrical energy.

What's more, this is closely related to local climate conditions, and not every place is suitable for installing solar photovoltaic panels.

Does this sound familiar to you?

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just the scam of rural solar photovoltaic panels in the history of time and space.

Thus, Jimmy Carter was defeated by Reagan.

Left the White House with solar energy.

High cost and immature technology are certainly not the best candidates for developing solar energy.

"The weather in our capital is 360 days a year, and there are not many sunny days. Why do we need this?"

After Qiu Zongyue stopped talking about the technical principles of battery cells, he immediately said:

"Also, our Jincheng Semiconductor Materials Factory should be able to produce monocrystalline silicon. I know that this product has a wide range of applications. Do we still need to continue research?"

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Guohua couldn't help but said in surprise:

"You're so awesome, leader. You actually know about Jincheng Semiconductor Materials Factory?"

"Stop mocking me here. Although I am illiterate, I know a lot of things, okay?"

In response, Qiu Zongyue rolled his eyes. Chen Guohua, a boy, knew how to use every opportunity to ridicule himself. He was really no big deal!

Chen Guohua put away his smile and said:

"Let's talk about monocrystalline silicon first. You know that Jincheng Semiconductor Materials Factory can now produce monocrystalline silicon, but do you know how efficient they are?"

In the history of the original time and space, monocrystalline silicon production in mainland China had already begun in the late 1950s, but there was a problem.

That is, the production technology is difficult, the production scale is small, the process technology is backward, the environment is seriously polluted, the energy consumption is high, and the cost is high.

With so many technical difficulties and pain points, Chen Guohua feels that this must be a priority problem that needs to be solved.

Therefore, it is not as understatement as what Qiu Zongyue said.

Haha, if there was no need to continue research, then mainland monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon could have been directly exported long ago.

But in fact, it’s not that simple at all!

Based on this, Zhenhua Research Institute definitely needs to conduct research to solve these technical difficulties and pain points.

One thing we all know is that polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon are used in a wide range of applications.

Industrial polysilicon can be used in aviation, cutting-edge technology, military special materials, construction, electronics and electrical, textiles, machinery and other fields. For solar energy, it is solar photovoltaic.

And the semiconductor industry!

Polycrystalline silicon is the main raw material for making single crystal silicon and can be used as various transistors, rectifier diodes, integrated circuits, chips, etc.

So, is the manufacturing process of raw materials such as polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon not important?

Previously, Chen Guohua also had a cooperative relationship with Jincheng Semiconductor Materials Factory, which was a technical discussion about the production process of the two here.

But the technical content involved is very high, there is a huge gap in demand for talents, and there is also the issue of money.

Before the atomic bomb exploded at the end of last year, any research Chen Guohua wanted to do was stopped by Qiu Zongyue.

There's nothing I can do, I'm short of money!

In addition, Chen Guohua felt that without a sharp sword in his hand, he would not be able to protect himself after all.

Therefore, he did not focus too much on developing the production processes of polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon.

However, now we can move forward.

Judging from the current situation, it is very possible for Zhenhua Research Institute to complete the mission target of US$3 billion this year.

After all, it has already made US$1.7 billion, and there is still US$1.3 billion left, so it should not be a big problem.

The higher authorities have also agreed and started the construction plan of Majuqiao, a small semiconductor town.

There is nothing wrong with promoting the development of polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon production technology.

"Okay, these are the reasons why I want to study monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon."

After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:

"Let's talk about the weather in Beijing that the leader asked you just now. Leader, you also know that our country is vast, so do you know which places have the longest sunshine time?"

"Xinjiang Province?"

Seeing Qiu Zongyue's hesitation, Chen Guohua nodded and said:

"Yes, that's right, not just Xinjiang Province, we can talk about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the average annual sunshine number is more than 3,000 hours, and the average annual solar radiation is 8,000 megajoules per square meter.

Such values ​​are undoubtedly much higher than those in the eastern region.

There are only more than 8,700 hours in the whole year. Excluding nights, that is probably cut in half.

In other words, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region has blue skies and white clouds for most of the year.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with solar photovoltaic power generation in such a place.

As for whether to advance the Guangming Project now, that is not something Chen Guohua can decide, but he can arrange the technology in advance.

No matter how bad it is, you can still earn more foreign exchange by exporting polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon, right?

Of course, Chen Guohua doesn't really want to export such products.

Just because of its added value is not very high.

As we all know, in the history of the original time and space, at the beginning of the millennium, polysilicon on the international market was only US$40 per kilogram.

This price can only be said to be very cheap.

Polysilicon has a wide range of applications. If Chen Guohua wants to use them to make chips, selling chips will be very good.

They can also be used to manufacture more electronic products such as game consoles. Isn't this better than simply exporting polysilicon?

Of course, in the original history of time and space, mainland photovoltaic companies were also severely impacted because of the product polysilicon.

In 2005, polysilicon on the international market was US$40 per kilogram.

Since there were thousands of photovoltaic companies in the mainland at that time, almost all of them imported these raw materials from abroad.

As well as the ethylene copolymer polymer materials, backsheets, photovoltaic glass, etc. mentioned by Chen Guohua, almost all are imported.

As we all know, in the 1990s and the millennium, mainland enterprises at that time relied on manpower for resources, and resources for technology.

This was almost the corporate development path of that era.

However, the photovoltaic companies at that time were developing so rapidly that they were like an impatient young man with a lot of energy!

But at that time, photovoltaic companies imported 90% of their raw materials, 90% of their products were exported to Europe and the United States, and 90% of their core technologies were abroad.

what is this?

Just like the seals walking on the African continent, they are so plump and delicious.

Therefore, in the original history of time and space, from Wall Street to the City of London to Frankfurt, these capitalists discussed only one topic:

"Divide this seal!"

So in the original time and space, from 2005 to 2008, the price of polysilicon on the international market skyrocketed from US$40 per kilogram to US$500 per kilogram!

This is to kill the seal!

And that's not all.

After the price increase crisis, the mainland must start to reflect on itself and develop its own core technologies.

Then the second knife came again, using core technology to threaten the seals:

"Sign a long-term supply agreement, such as three to ten years, and there will be high liquidated damages."

Photovoltaic companies that couldn't bear it, because they were worried that the cost of polysilicon would rise again, almost signed contracts one after another.

Then, many companies have signed supply agreements for three to ten years at a high price of more than 300 US dollars per kilogram.

It was early 2008, and not long after the contract was signed, the financial crisis hit.

As a result, the price of polysilicon has dropped to US$40 per kilogram.

The photovoltaic companies that were slashed twice in a row were all miserable.

The market is in a mess!

This is the history of the original time and space, what about this time and space?

Of course Chen Guohua will not let history repeat itself again.

After chatting with Qiu Zongyue for a long time, we finally finished talking about solar photovoltaic power generation.

The latter also remembered that he was going to see Chen Guohua today about the 25,000 table tennis arcade machines that had just been sold.

Originally, Chen Guohua didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the revenue from this batch of goods was only 87 million US dollars.

Rounding up, plus other products such as diapers, Huaxin radios, Huayue calculators, etc., so far, Zhenhua Research Institute has earned more than 1.8 billion US dollars in foreign exchange.

However, when Chen Guohua saw the list of foreign companies and individuals submitted by Qiu Zongyue for purchasing game arcade machines this time, he saw Donald's name.

Suddenly I was shocked!

(End of this chapter)
