From university academician to chief academician

Chang'an, Longi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Chairman's Office!

Kang Cheng sat on the office chair, looking at the report in front of him with a serious expression.

Kang Cheng felt bitter: "Since the Solar Alliance was launched by FirstSolar, many solar companies in Europe, America, Japan and Korea have joined, and the entire solar industry has undergone tremendous changes."

"Originally we wanted to join in, but FirstSolar was so shameless that they asked us to become their manufacturer."

"They make the big money, and we can only make some hard-earned money."

In the global solar energy industry, Beili is the most developed country, followed by Xia.

The world's number one solar company is First Solar, but Ye Fei said at the Mel Awards ceremony last year that he had developed solar panels that rival First Solar.

On the second day, FirstSolar's stock fell rapidly and fell for a month.

Later, it was discovered that there was no solar company in Xia that could produce the kind of solar panels Ye Fei mentioned.

After that, the stock slowly rose back up.

But this also gave FirstSolar a deep sense of crisis.

It is impossible for Ye Fei to say that he has developed light panels that are comparable to FirstSolar solar panels for no reason.

He must have developed panels that are comparable to or close to FirstSolar solar panels.

This is unacceptable to FirstSolar.

Therefore, FirstSolar united all the top 20 solar companies in the world to establish the Solar Mutual Aid Alliance.

The Solar Mutual Alliance voluntarily excluded Xia Guo Company.

Now, the Solar Mutual Aid Alliance is suppressing Xia Guo Solar's overseas markets.

In particular, Xia Guo’s leading solar company, Longi Green Energy Company, was the most severely suppressed.

"I originally wanted to rent the patent from Professor Ye Fei, but I didn't expect that he would disagree and make me wait for a while."

"I don't know how long it will take."

"Even if we wait, our company will be suppressed by the Solar Mutual Aid Alliance and the losses will be very heavy!"

Kang Cheng looked at the company's performance in overseas markets last month and felt very bitter.

At this time, the WeChat message on the mobile phone placed aside rang.

Kang Cheng took the phone over and looked at the screen. Instantly, he became energetic.

"It's Professor Ye!"

"Why is Professor Ye calling me? He has never called me before."

After saying that, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Professor Ye!"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Director Kang, I have completed the research. Didn't you say that you want to rent the patent? I will now send you the data of the newly developed solar panels."

Kang Cheng said in surprise: "Have you done your research? Is the performance better than FirstSolar's solar panels?"

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Dr. Kang, you will know after I send you the data."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fei sent Kang Cheng the data on the solar panels he developed.

After Kang Cheng saw the data, his glasses widened in surprise.

He took a breath and said in shock: "This data is too fake!"

"Is there such a solar panel in the world?"

"Professor Ye will not give me false data!"

Kang Cheng was shocked and confused. Reason told him that Ye Fei would not lie to him. How could a world-renowned scientist lie to a small businessman like him?

Even if you lie to him and he rents Ye Fei's patent, he will lose some money and Ye Fei will lose face.

A lose-lose situation is not worth it.

However, his reason told him that this data was too false.

At this time, Ye Fei's call came in again, and Ye Fei said: "Have you finished reading the data!"

"I've finished reading." Kang Cheng said: "It's just Professor Ye, this data..."

"Very fake?" Ye Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, this data is absolutely 100% real. If you don't believe it, you can test it yourself when you come here."

When Kang Cheng heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Okay, where do you want me to find you?"

Ye Feidao: "Kyoto Graphene Research Institute, please call me when you arrive and I will pick you up at the door."

"Okay!" Kang Cheng said, "I'll be there tomorrow."

The next day, Kang Cheng took people by plane to Kyoto. When they arrived in Kyoto, it was after eleven o'clock. They had dinner outside and arrived at the Graphene Research Institute at about two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the door of the Graphene Research Institute!

"Professor Ye!" Looking at Ye Fei approaching, Kang Cheng led someone to greet him, and the two shook hands with each other.

Ye Feidao: "Let's go in!"

After saying that, Ye Fei took them to register at the door and then entered the Graphene Research Institute.

After entering the foreign guest building, Ye Feidao said: "This is the National Key Research Institute, so I can only take you here. I have prepared everything. Let's go in!"

"Yeah!" Kang Cheng and others nodded.

Ye Fei took them into the foreign guest building and into a room on the second floor, where there was a tester and a solar panel.

There are several researchers inside who are debugging the equipment.

After Ye Fei came in, he pointed at the instrument in front of him and said, "This is a tester that can test the performance of solar panels."

Ye Fei picked up the solar panel, showed it to Kang Cheng, and said, "This is the solar panel I developed."

Kang Cheng took the solar panel from Ye Fei's hand. As soon as he took it, he was surprised and said: "It's so light!"

The solar panel is not big, only one hundred square centimeters, it is silver in color, and it feels like it only weighs one pound when you first get it.

You know, the solar panels on the market, such a large solar panel, weigh three or four kilograms, but this one only weighs one kilogram.

Of course, this does not mean that lighter solar panels are better, it just shows a characteristic.

Kang Cheng tapped it lightly with his hand, and then hesitated whether to bend it or not.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "You can try bending it. The bending angle reaches 180 degrees and there will be no damage."

"180 degrees?" Kang Cheng and others looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

The bending degree of ordinary solar panels reaches 90 degrees, which is the limit. There will be no damage if bent at 180 degrees. Are you sure this is a solar panel and not paper?

Ye Fei looked at their surprised expressions, smiled lightly, looked at Kang Cheng and encouraged, "You'll know after you try it. If it breaks, it's mine."

Hearing this, Kang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he stared at the solar panel tightly, and then slowly bent the solar panel. As long as it was slightly damaged, he would immediately stop his movements.

Kang Cheng's men also stared closely at the solar panel in Kang Cheng's hand.

Soon, the solar panel in Kang Cheng's hand was completely bent to 180 degrees without any damage.

Kang Cheng and others widened their eyes in surprise.

After a while, Kang Cheng looked at Ye Fei and said in shock: "Professor Ye, is this made from C72 fullerene?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

Kang Cheng exclaimed: "C72 fullerene is really a good thing!"

"That's not all!" Ye Fei said with a smile: "Next, we will test it in front of your eyes, and you will know whether the data I sent you is true."

"Okay!" Kang Cheng was very excited.

At this moment, he half believed the data Ye Fei sent him.

Since it can bend solar panels 180 degrees, it has broken the perception of traditional solar panels.

Then, the data given by Ye Fei may also be true.

Ye Feidao: "Shen Dong, please test the solar panel and show it to Director Kang and others."

"Okay, director!" said a researcher.

Soon, the tester started running, and a researcher took the solar panel from Kang Cheng and placed it on the tester.

Ten minutes later, Kang Cheng was surprised when he saw the test data.

"It's really true."

Kang Cheng looked at Ye Fei and exclaimed: "Professor Ye, you are really amazing. You have developed such a good solar panel. Thank you very much for choosing our company."

Ye Fei smiled and said: "I just hope that our country can stand on top of the world in the field of solar energy!"

Kang Cheng said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Ye Feidao: "The next matter of renting the patent road is not something I will discuss with you. We have someone from the research institute to talk to you."

"Yeah!" Kang Cheng nodded.

Afterwards, Ye Fei called Xia Hong, the head of the patent department of the institute, and asked him to discuss the matter with Kang Cheng.

In the end, Kangcheng leased the patent for US$2 billion per year.

At that time, Enjie's patent lease from the Graphene Research Institute was worth one billion per year.

However, that is just a lithium battery separator, which is one of the four core material manufacturing methods of lithium batteries.

Moreover, at that time, the higher authorities requested that the price of lithium battery separators be reduced to 50,000 per ton.

Because of this, patents could be rented at a cost of one billion per year.

But this time it is different. What LONGi rents is solar panels, which are the main technology of solar energy.

As long as you have a good solar panel and some corner items, you can create a solar photovoltaic power generation panel.

Moreover, this time there was no request for a price reduction.

Moreover, the current global solar panel market share is US$150 billion and is growing at an annual rate of 4.7%.

The performance of Ye Fei's solar panels will allow LONGi to quickly occupy the global solar panel market in just a few years.

The world's number one solar company is now FirstSolar, with a global market share of 15%.

LONGi's solar panels perform better than FirstSolar.

Then, LONGi can capture at least 15% of the global market.

The profit of solar panels is very large, at least 60%, plus subsequent installation fees, maintenance fees, and replacement fees.

LONGi earns at least US$13.5 billion per year from its solar panels, after deducting costs.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

If the government asks LONGi to lower prices and provide preferential treatment to Xia Guo, LONGi will make less money.

But even if we earn less, we still have US$8 billion a year.

Kang Cheng and others made the calculation clearly in their minds and were very satisfied with this transaction.

Of course, solar panels are developed from C72 fullerene, so the C72 fullerene of solar panels is still provided by the research institute and sold to Longi at a price of 5,000 yuan per ton.

Kangcheng and others agree.

In the evening, Ye Fei, Ye Fei's researchers, Xia Hong, and Kang Cheng went to a nearby hotel for a meal.

Of course, Kang Cheng paid for it.

The next day, Kang Cheng and others returned to Chang'an.

One month later, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. held a product launch conference!

Chang'an, International Conference Center!

LONGi’s product launch conference was very grand and invited reporters from many countries.

Early in the morning, many reporters poured into the International Conference Center!

Kang Cheng stood on the stage and said with a smile: "Dear journalists, welcome everyone."

"Today will be a new chapter for LONGi."

The reporters below heard his words and looked at him speechlessly.

What you said is a big deal!

It has also opened a new chapter. Who doesn’t know that your overseas market has been beaten by the Solar Mutual Aid Alliance without any backlash.

Kang Cheng ignored the gazes of reporters and said with a smile: "The solar photovoltaic panel developed by Professor Ye Fei in cooperation with Longi and the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute has a performance that surpasses all current solar photovoltaic panels."

"Ugh..." The reporter below exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.

Many reporters remembered what Ye Fei said at the Mel Awards ceremony last year, and they were excited: "Big news, big news, Ye Fei finally took action."

"Huh?" Many people were confused: "That's not right. Didn't Ye Fei say that the performance of the solar photovoltaic panels he developed is comparable to FirstSolar's?"

"Why does Kangcheng say it surpasses all current solar photovoltaic panels?"

Kang Chengdao: "Please take a look at the performance of the solar photovoltaic panels developed by Professor Ye Fei!"

After finishing speaking, the performance of the solar photovoltaic panels was displayed on the large display screen behind Kang Cheng.

[Peak power: 500Wp

Peak working voltage: 60V

Peak operating current: 13.1A

Open circuit voltage: 44.2V

Short circuit current: 12.75A

Component efficiency: 25.2%

Power deviation: +0.5%]

Before arriving, all the reporters present had some basic knowledge about solar energy.

So, they all understand what these performance numbers mean.

"Ugh..." the reporters present exclaimed with wide eyes.

"This data..." Everyone was surprised.

Kang Cheng smiled calmly: "I know everyone will think that this data is too fake!"

Everyone smiled in their hearts, you know it too!

Kang Cheng said seriously: "However, these data are all true. I don't think a company as big as mine will lie to people!"

"When the product is on sale, anyone can take it and test it."

"If the test results are not what I am talking about now, won't it slap me in the face and damage my company's image?"

Everyone nodded, this is the truth.

After the product is sold, if the test results are not like this, it will be a slap in Kangcheng's face and damage the image of Longi.

"Also, everyone knows that I, Longi, never do anything that damages our reputation. Can any of you tell me that I, Longi, have ever done anything that damages our reputation?"

Everyone shook their heads, indeed not.

In the minds of people in the industry, LONGi is a very reputable company.

Here is a little story.

When LONGi was first established, it was still a small factory in Chang'an.

There was once a batch of products that were manufactured to be of inferior quality.

The quality inspector got the data wrong, resulting in the sale of this batch of inferior products.

Later, LONGi refunded and took back the batch of inferior products and sent out new high-quality products for free.

At that time, in 2000, that batch of products was worth 100,000 yuan, but LONGi suffered a loss of 150,000 yuan.

A refund of 100,000 yuan, and all new inferior products cost 50,000 yuan to manufacture, for a total of 150,000 yuan.

One hundred and fifty thousand in 2000 is equivalent to two million today.

Moreover, LONGi was still a small factory at that time, and you could buy half of LONGi for 150,000 yuan.

Of course, this incident made LONGi famous. Many people felt safe buying LONGi's products. Within a few years, LONGi became the largest solar company in Chang'an.

Kang Cheng smiled and said: "That's right, this data is indeed real."

Reason tells reporters that this data is true.

But they still think it's too fake.

After the product launch, when the news gets out.

The entire solar industry is causing earthquakes.

Beiliguo, FirstSolar headquarters, president's office!

At this moment, the president is talking to the chief technology officer.

The president's name is McGee.

The chief technology officer's name is Deere.

McGee said seriously: "Diel, what do you think of Longi's product launch?"

Dill said with a heavy expression: "If what Kang Cheng said is true, then we must take it seriously."

"You also know that the last time Ye Fei helped Enjie, it directly led to a huge price reduction in global lithium battery materials, lithium batteries and new energy vehicles."

"Moreover, many lithium battery separator company stocks around the world have fallen, but Enjie's stock has risen rapidly."

"Especially for Hyndson and Panasonic, their stocks fell the worst and they haven't recovered yet."

"Yeah!" McGee nodded and said, "I've heard about this too, and LONGi's product launch will also have some impact on our company's stock."

"But fortunately we had a plan beforehand, so the drop was not huge."

"However, if we cannot stop LONGi in the future, not only will our stock price fall, but our market share will also decrease rapidly."

Dier said: "If we want to stop LONGi, we don't have a technological advantage, so we can only use the Solar Alliance to engage in price wars and strategies with LONGi."

McGee said: "I think so too."

After speaking, McGee shook his head and said: "I never expected that one Ye Fei would already stir up two industries around the world."

Dier shook his head and said: "You are wrong. He is not stirring up two industries, but three industries. Have you forgotten the blockchain?"

McGee was stunned for a moment and said bitterly: "The times have changed. The power of capital has gradually been weakened, and the power of technology has gradually surpassed capital."

"Hey..." Dill sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case!"

Beiliguo, National Institute of Nanotechnology!

Director's office!

Harry, the director, was sitting on the office chair. Gore put his hands on the desk and looked down at Harry with his eyes wide open.

"Harry, Ye Fei has developed another technology using C72 fullerene, and its performance surpasses the most advanced solar panels in the world."

"Where's the C72 fullerene I asked you to get?"

"You haven't gotten it for me until now, can you do it?"

Harry slumped in the chair, with a bitter look on his face, and said: "Gol, I want to get it too. I got the material from Enjie Co., Ltd., but I didn't expect that the C72 fullerene material was coming out of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute. It has been confused before."

"Even if I get the C72 fullerene material, I can't use it!"

Gor straightened up, sat on the chair, and scratched his hair frantically. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what should we do now? We will watch Ye Fei develop each technology using C72 fullerene step by step. Let us Beili Kingdom is not as good as Xia Kingdom in many fields?"

"First it was lithium battery separators, and now it's solar panels. I don't know which field will be next."

"But in the long run, we will be defeated by Xia Guo in more areas."

"We must find a solution."

Harry spread his hands helplessly, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said: "Then tell me, what method should be used?"

Gor said: "If I knew the way, I would have said it long ago."

Harry said: "So, we can't defeat him technologically, and we can't capture Ye Fei, what else can we do? Is it even more impossible to surrender to Ye Fei?"

"At times like this, it's useless even if you want to give in!"

"Fuck!" Gor yelled angrily, feeling frantic and helpless.

Fullerene Institute, University of Manchester, England!

Director's office!

Director Heim heard that Ye Fei had developed another solar panel and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Another technology has been developed from C72 fullerene."

"Ye Fei has developed lithium battery separators and solar panels from C72 fullerene."

"Moreover, many people at the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute have developed dozens of technologies from C72 fullerene."

“I really don’t know how many other technologies can be developed with C72 fullerene.”

Heim wanted to get C72 fullerene, but he also knew that he would not be able to get C72 fullerene in a short time.

At least until Xia Guo has finished researching C72 fullerene, he will not be able to obtain C72 fullerene.

"But whatever is developed from C72 fullerenes, it doesn't have much impact on me."

The situation in England and Northern Ireland are different. England's strengths lie in the fields of education, medicine, history, art, and language.

Although the scientific and technological field is very strong, it is not the best in the world in every aspect.

The current development of the Xia Kingdom is on a collision course with the world's number one, that is, with the Beili Kingdom.

It won't have much impact on England.

Heim chuckled and said: "Beili must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. It must be very aggrieved because it cannot get C72 fullerene and has no power to fight back against the technology developed from C72 fullerene."

"Sometimes I really envy the people at the Graphene Research Institute. With the C72 fullerene discovered by Ye Fei, they can research every technology to their heart's content, while we can only watch from the outside."

"I wonder what technology Ye Fei will develop next time?"
