1991 Starting from the core

"Environmental protection and carbon reduction are the major trends in the future. To put it further, before humans can realize the miniaturization of controllable nuclear fusion or extremely high-density energy storage, even if humans set foot in space, the use of solar energy cannot be ignored. Technology."

Su Yuanshan looked at everyone with a smile, and his eyes finally fell on Wang Chuanfu: "Currently, there are already midstream photovoltaic power generation industry chain companies in China, but the technology of upstream materials is still in the hands of Europeans."

"As for the specific situation, I will introduce it to you."

——Yuanxin's next industry will be involved in photovoltaic power generation, which is naturally the result of his discussion with Wang Chuanfu.

It has to be said that after joining Yuanxin, Wang Chuanfu has been very different from what Su Yuanshan remembered in his previous life, and his understanding and height of technology are also different - for example, it was Wang Chuanfu who proposed a comprehensive entry into the upstream, midstream and downstream industries of energy. He took the initiative to propose it to Su Yuanshan and received Su Yuanshan's approval and support.

Wang Chuanfu immediately cleared his throat: "Then let me introduce you briefly."

"The current demand for photovoltaic power generation is mainly in Europe and the United States, and country D has subsidized photovoltaic companies since this year. Although the domestic photovoltaic industry has started, there is no large-scale capital entry, and it is still at the stage of working for the West. The upstream is restricted by raw materials controlled by Europe, and the downstream is checked and balanced by market demand..."

"If we want to enter, we must break this situation - because according to domestic planning, the photovoltaic industry will enter a period of demand explosion in the next five years."

Wang Chuanfu smiled as he spoke: "But now, the biggest obstacle restricting the development and popularization of the photovoltaic industry is still upstream - we expect European and American companies to make raw materials at cabbage prices, which is obviously not possible. To put it bluntly, they only know The kind of people who monopolize the market with their technology and then make money on their own back... and want to live forever."

As soon as Wang Chuanfu's words came out, they immediately resonated with everyone.

Especially Su Yuanshan, I almost want to applaud him!

In any industry, the cost of raw materials is the most basic factor restricting the price of finished products, especially for semiconductors.

To put it bluntly, cost reduction does not actually rely on technological progress, but on "involution."

——Do you expect a group of people who can monopolize all the diamond mines around the world, and then the diamonds that should have been sold at cabbage prices have been inflated to sky-high prices to roll up the costs to a universal price?

Dream on...

Apart from anything else, China is known as the "crusher of developed countries" in later generations. The fundamental reason is that costs can be reduced - and the funny thing is that whenever domestic costs are reduced, the prices of products from developed countries will be instantly reduced, and even Reduced to 1/10 of the original value.

Why? Or is it to squeeze your living space and then rely on his original technical system to obtain high returns elsewhere.

Otherwise, why do you think those small countries in Europe with a population of several million can live so comfortably?

At this time, Yongping asked.

"What about the future of the photovoltaic industry? Will it become mainstream or supplementary? What about the market size? Also, what are the shortcomings of photovoltaics?"

"The disadvantage is that the relationship between energy storage and Rizhao is too close." Wang Chuanfu looked at Duan Yongping with a smile. He was not surprised that Duan Yongping would ask this - after all, he is the CEO of Yuanxin. Even if he does not understand technology, Lao Duan He will also learn about almost all new industries in the world: "But in terms of energy storage, we are leading. Whether it is lithium-ion batteries, lithium batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or graphene batteries..."

Duan Yongping coughed.

Well, relationships are a one-stop industry chain.

"As for peak power generation, we actually still have an immature idea."

"oh?"

Wang Chuanfu breathed out lightly and looked at Su Yuanshan.

This idea actually came to Su Yuanshan's mind.

——If one day in the future, the photovoltaic industry takes root around the world, then all photovoltaic power stations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States can be connected through UHV transmission lines to achieve a true "sunset" power transmission network. In that way, it becomes possible to use the power grid to achieve "energy storage".

Wang Chuanfu knows that China has been developing ultra-high voltage power grid technology. (Note: State Grid has proposed a global grid connection initiative.)

“Global Integration of Electric Power Grids.”

The meeting lasted one day.

Of course, no resolution was reached today. After all, it is really a "big deal" to fully intervene in a certain industry - just like entering the automotive field, everyone discussed it several times before finally deciding on it.

Moreover, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is now very high. Without policy subsidies, large-scale development cannot be carried out—unless the cost can drop geometrically.

Therefore, it is particularly important to grasp the current technology nodes and expectations for cost control.

Su Yuanshan is optimistic about this - he believes that within five to ten years at most, even without Yuanxin's intervention, the country may be able to reduce the cost of polysilicon.

Now that Su Yuanshan thinks so, everyone begins to discuss how to intervene - such as creating something out of nothing, or directly acquiring it.

Su Yuanshan prefers direct acquisition.

——According to the current technical talent and market size, if Yuanxin really wants to vigorously develop, it will undoubtedly drive an excavator to poach people everywhere, and then spend money unscrupulously.

When it comes to spending money, no company can compare with Yuanxin - this is not a question of ability, but a question of courage.

…

"I'm curious, what are you guys talking about?"

After returning home, Ye Rudai had already gotten off work and picked up her daughter at the same time. Seeing that Su Yuanshan didn't get home until six o'clock, she asked curiously.

"Just talking about what industry Yuanxin will get involved in next." Su Yuanshan said, bending down and picking up his daughter: "Su Xiaomu, are you serious in school today?"

"I took it seriously, and the teacher even praised me."

"Really? What did the teacher praise you for?" Su Yuanshan pretended to be curious and looked at his daughter's round little face with burning eyes - she really looked like her mother.

"The teacher said I dance well."

"Oh? Why don't you jump and show me."

"good!"

Little Su Mu broke away and danced for Su Yuanshan - frankly speaking, Su Yuanshan only thought his daughter was pretty, and he couldn't appreciate dancing.

But that didn't stop him from clapping his hands loudly.

"Okay, Xiaomu is going to practice the piano. I'll talk to dad about something." After her daughter finished dancing, she didn't know whether it was a swan dance or something else, Ye Rudai frowned without leaving any trace and winked at Su Yuanshan.

…

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy when your daughter dances?"

Su Yuanshan closed the bedroom door and looked at his wife with confusion.

"She could just dance once, but with the encouragement of her kindergarten teacher, she actually wanted to learn ballet... Their teacher also suggested the same thing... I was a little unhappy."

Ye Rudai frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied: "Xiaodou can't learn ballet."

"Why?" Su Yuanshan asked almost subconsciously, and then immediately realized: "Well, no! Absolutely not."

——Are you kidding? He has heard about it anyway. Those are the feet for ballet students...

He really didn't want his daughter to suffer like that.

"Teachers, too, give random advice. Don't you know that children listen to teachers the most?"

"Haha... The main thing is that we keep a low profile." Su Yuanshan shook his head, looked at his wife, and comforted: "Their teacher is still a little girl, so she doesn't understand."

——Ye Rudai herself is an extremely tolerant and even somewhat sloppy person, but when faced with her daughter's problems, she still becomes a little "petty".

"Forget it, I'll say hello to her teacher tomorrow."

"No, I think...Xiaodou should change his learning environment." Ye Rudai looked at Su Yuanshan, pursed her lips and said seriously: "I don't think the moon abroad is round, but if you look at Yuanxin's school, it should be the best in the country. A top private school, right? But..."

"Don't change."

"Why?"

"Because you and I both came from such an environment."

Ye Rudai frowned slightly: "Then we should know that this environment is not good."

Su Yuanshan was silent for a few seconds, then looked at his wife and said seriously: "Then our children must know personally that this environment is not good, and then we can change it."

"...What kind of fallacy are you talking about?"

"It's not some fallacy, it's because she was reborn into the family of the richest man and woman in the world. She already has a natural talent that can disdain all her peers in the world."

Su Yuanshan paused and said softly: "In our eyes, she is just our child, very ordinary, but in the eyes of others... she is the richest princess in the world - you just don't realize this. When she grows up The power and imagination she can possess will be beyond our imagination and the imagination of others."

"Tell me, why should she feel comfortable?"

"..."

"The parents work hard to make the next generation live a better life. This is the wish and pursuit of ordinary families. But in our family, it should not be like this. She should grow from ordinary and then transform into extraordinary."

After Ye Rudai was silent for a few seconds, she glared at her husband: "Are you planning her future now?"

"It's not an arrangement, it's a hope."

"What's the difference between that and arrangement?" Ye Rudai asked.

"..." Su Yuanshan was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed: "The difference is that I give her the environment, and then respect her own choices - don't say that giving her the environment is just an arrangement, because you sent her to a developed country, It’s also being arranged.”

Ye Rudai was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded, agreeing with her husband's statement.

But she was still a little unhappy - as Su Yuanshan's wife, she watched Su Yuanshan work hard for her family and country with strong perseverance, and she recognized and respected Su Yuanshan's efforts. But as a mother of two children, she doesn't want her children to grow up like their father...

Su Yuanshan also knows and understands his wife's thoughts - this is probably the instinct of a mother. So he smiled and pulled his wife to sit next to him: "Let's not talk about this for now. Let me send a message to the school and see how to reform the school - originally, the education system also needs to be reformed under the national environment."

“How will the country reform?”

"The specifics have not been released, but it should still focus on selecting the best and reducing the burden. After all, the burden on students is getting heavier and heavier now."

"Then how can Yuanxin School be reformed?"

"We'll see then...I haven't decided how to change it specifically yet, and it doesn't matter if I say it."

Ye Rudai glanced at her husband and said with a half-smile, "Doesn't it really count?"

"Uh... forget it. After all, your husband is a Nobel Prize scholar! It doesn't matter what I say, who has the final say?"

"..."

…

The couple made a little joke and the atmosphere returned to normal.

In the final analysis, although the two of them have wealth that others cannot match or imagine, they are still two ordinary people - or in other words, they grew up from ordinary people, and they do not think that they are rich just because they are rich. Out of the realm of ordinary people.

"By the way, how is the current situation of ebook?" Su Yuanshan thought of the "farce" on ebook a while ago, and was looking forward to getting some data from his wife, the founder and owner of ebook.

Ye Rudai pursed her lips and thought for a long time before speaking slowly.

"It's basically certain that... there are quite a few trumpets attacking you."

Ye Rudai spoke very cautiously - on the one hand, because these are the secrets of ebook, on the other hand, behind this kind of attack, there are interests involved that she doesn't want to think too much about.

"Um……"

Su Yuanshan hummed and was silent for a long time.

There were quite a few trumpets - he had no reason to ask Ye Rudai to hand over these trumpets and trace their origins, even if she was his wife - some things, as long as they were done, would be traced.

Ebook is still a Silicon Valley company. Ye Rudai can only stay in China for ten days and a half at a time before going back, in order to fully control ESO - this undoubtedly makes her character more determined. ——It also caused her and Su Yuanshan to spend more time "quarreling".

And Su Yuanshan believed that as long as Ye Rudai dared to show the slightest hint of favoritism towards Yuan Xin, then she might "betray her relatives" - under certain forces, even capital would have to stay away.

"It seems that I am the only one who takes action."

Ye Rudai looked at her husband, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then frowned slightly.

She understood what Su Yuanshan meant by taking action - her husband had never had time or "interest" to be active on the Internet or social media. Now, he's going to take on all the "naysayers" single-handedly.

"Yi Ye, the information age is the age of voice. With the formation of the big V system, various recommendation algorithms, and the maturity of traffic monetization... voice, or information sources, will become more and more concentrated."

"Although I have always said that there cannot be only one voice in this world. But sometimes...some forces really only wish to have only one voice."

Su Yuanshan frowned deeply and took a deep breath.

"If it's louder than my voice, then I'll do it."

Ye Rudai pursed her lips and looked at her husband after being silent for a few seconds: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure of this big V."

"OK."

Ye Rudai nodded.
