Chapter 487: 309,000 units a day? Is that even reasonable? The strategic value of the Nobel Prize to Deep Blue Technology!
On the National Day, Orange air conditioners were officially launched in the official flagship stores of Orange Mall, Pinbei, Yaomao and Yidong.
Orange AC G1 1.5-horsepower wall-mounted smart air conditioner supports remote control by mobile phone and can be connected to Moss M7 smart speaker to realize operations such as turning on and off, adjusting wind speed, switching modes, etc. through voice. It is priced at 2,999 yuan.
Orange AC L1 2-horsepower cabinet air conditioner, priced at 4,699 yuan.
Orange AC L1 3-horsepower cabinet air conditioner, priced at 5,999 yuan.
The pricing is almost the same as Haier and Midea, but much cheaper than Gree.
Although this is the first time that Orange has made air conditioners, the quality of Orange mobile phones, Orange electric fans and Orange electric vehicles is well-known. Coupled with the ten-year warranty commitment that far exceeds that of its peers, users have almost no worries when placing orders.
Although it missed the hot selling period in summer, Orange Air Conditioner also caught up with the peak decoration season in October.
On the first day of launch, the three products sold a total of 309,000 units, among which the 1.5-horsepower wall-mounted air conditioner was the best-selling, accounting for more than 60% of sales.
In just one day, sales reached 1.17 billion yuan, which is approximately equal to the total sales of Xinke in the previous six months.
After hearing the news, Qin Shangzhi fell silent for a moment.
He stood by the office window, lost in thought. It took him a long time to recover, and he muttered to himself, "Is this right?"
When Chen Yansen acquired Xin Ke, he did not take over the "Xin Ke" brand.
Therefore, after some thought, Qin Shangzhi accepted Chen Yansen's suggestion and started a "selling label" business following the Antarctic model, commonly known as private labeling.
As long as you are willing to spend money to buy a trademark, no matter what you produce, you can put the Xinke brand label on it.
After just a few months of business, a large number of new air conditioners, new televisions, new electric fans, and new refrigerators appeared on the market.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the company will enter the fields of snacks, health products, clothing and luggage in the future.
However, after the new Xinke air conditioner was launched on the market, the monthly sales volume across the entire network was less than 50,000 units.
And Orange Technology used Xinke’s workers, production lines and technology to easily sell 300,000 units in one day?
Is this fucking reasonable?
But Qin Shangzhi had no idea that after Chen Yansen bought Xinke, he continued to invest more than one billion yuan to purchase new equipment and then set up a production line with higher efficiency and greater capacity.
Those old equipment from decades ago had already been packaged and sold to Southeast Asia by Cao Dahua.
The first-day sales of Orange Air Conditioner also stunned Haier's Zhou Jieyun, Midea's Fang Hongbo and Gree's Dong Mingzhu. They originally thought that Orange Air Conditioner could only sell tens of thousands of units at most with the sales channels of Senlian Capital and the group's endorsement.
Who would have thought that the sales would increase tenfold and more than 300,000 units were sold in one day!
Colleagues are all wondering whether it was the smart module that did the trick, or was it Chen Yansen’s personal charm that was great enough?
The next afternoon, the Nobel Foundation announced the list of Nobel Prize winners for 2013, and Zeng Jiwen, Bi Shanchen and Gao Zhengxin were on the list.
The rumor became reality!
Three top researchers from DeepBlue Technology actually won this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry!
Half an hour later, CCTV's official Weibo account was the first to post a message of congratulations.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of mainstream media outlets, including the National Daily, the China Science and Technology Association, and Luzhou TV, reprinted the report.
This is the first time that China has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Zeng Jiwen, Bi Shanchen and Gao Zhengxin are also the first Chinese scientists to receive the award.
Following Mo Yan, a Chinese once again won the Nobel Prize.
Moreover, it has higher gold content!
Bringing back three gold medals for China at one time!
When the news was confirmed, the 7 o'clock news program that evening took out a minute to specifically introduce Deep Blue Batteries and Deep Blue Technology's significant contributions to the battery field.
The educational and work history of Zeng Jiwen, Bi Shanchen and Gao Zhengxin were also thoroughly dug up by reporters.
"At the age of 45, after years of deep involvement in battery research and development in North America, he resolutely returned to China in 2012 and won the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry for my country – Zeng Jiwen, the father of lithium-sulfur batteries."
"Popularizing Science in China: Exploring the Scientific Research Path of Zeng Jiwen, a Scientific Giant."
"The story behind Bi Shanchen, the greatest Chinese scientist of the 21st century, a Nobel laureate on par with Einstein."
Gao Zhengxin and the Historic Breakthrough of Lithium-Sulfur Batteries: From Nobel Prize to Global Influence!
In an instant, Zeng Jiwen, Bi Shanchen and Gao Zhengxin became China's undisputed top stars.
Unlike Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature, the achievements of Deep Blue Battery are closely related to the lives of ordinary people and are destined to change the daily lives of most people!
For example, if you buy an Orange Q1 electric car for 999 yuan, or an Orange X1 SE, you can experience the charm of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
In fact, domestic users also think and do so.
Since the Nobel Prize list was announced, the sales of Orange Q1 and Yaocheng X1 SE have begun to soar, just like after Mo Yan won the award last year, all the related books on major platforms were sold out. The Orange Q1 equipped with a deep blue battery increased its sales by 200,000 in just a few hours.
The sales volume of Yaocheng X1 SE increased by 100,000 units!
Various types of scientific and technological honors came in from the country, and even the application process was waived. Without Deep Blue Technology asking for permission, major associations submitted the names of Zeng Jiwen and the other two.
Even the China Science and Technology Association is discussing whether to admit the three people as the first batch of academicians from private enterprises.
After all, in terms of scientific research achievements and social influence, Zeng Jiwen and the other two are fully qualified.
But what the outside world could not have imagined was that Zeng Jiwen, Bi Shanchen and Gao Zhengxin were sitting in a conference room of Deep Blue Technology at this time. The three of them looked at each other with worried expressions.
Zeng Jiwen put down his phone, his mind full of the media's praise for him.
If the Deep Blue Battery was truly the result of his research and development, he could naturally accept it calmly, but he could deceive outsiders but not himself.
From the beginning to the end, the research direction of Deep Blue Battery, MOF diaphragm materials and electrolyte formula were all provided to them by Chen Yansen.
This Nobel Prize is really embarrassing to receive!
"Mr. Zeng, I heard that this list was submitted by the big boss." Bi Shanchen said in a deep voice.
"I would like to win the award, but I also know that my contribution to the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries is very small."
Gao Zhengxin said with a smile.
Frankly speaking, who doesn’t want the Nobel Prize in Chemistry?
"I'll call the boss." Zeng Jiwen, who was hesitant to make up his mind, thought for a while and said.
"I have no objection. If the boss asks us to accept the award, we will accept it. If the boss asks us to refuse, we will refuse." Bi Shanchen echoed.
"That's fine with me. I'll follow the boss's arrangements." Gao Zhengxin also nodded.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Zeng Jiwen took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, found Chen Yansen's personal contact information, dialed it, and pressed the hands-free button.
"Hello? Lao Zeng, what can I do for you?"
Chen Yansen's voice came from the microphone.
"Boss, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been announced. Bi Shanchen, Gao Zhengxin, and I are discussing whether to go to Sweden to receive the award in two months."
Zeng Jiwen probed cautiously.
"Why discuss this? Since you've won the award, go and claim it. Worried about safety? Don't worry, Director Yang from the Anguo Association called me. When you go abroad, you'll be accompanied by security personnel throughout your trip."
Chen Yansen said slowly.
Some traffic and popularity are acceptable, but some are not.
An honor like the Nobel Prize will not bring him much substantial benefit, but will instead cause him great trouble.
Therefore, he made arrangements early and pushed Zeng Jiwen and the other two out.
Anyway, the core patents are in our hands, so we don’t have to worry about any accidents.
"Boss, but the Deep Blue Battery is you," Zeng Jiwen said with embarrassment.
But before he could finish his words, Chen Yansen interrupted him: "It's just a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Just consider it a reward for you. Just keep some of these things in your heart. Do you understand?"
Zeng Jiwen opened his mouth, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "Okay, boss, I know what to do."
Chen Yansen nodded and then hung up the phone.
In his opinion, Zeng Jiwen and the other two were too thin-skinned and too proud. If it were him, he would definitely accept it calmly.
"Zeng Jiwen seems to have something else to say?"
Song Yuncheng, who was standing by, leaned over and asked curiously.
"Want to know?" Chen Yansen said with a wicked smile.
"It doesn't matter whether you know or not." Song Yuncheng smiled and took a step back.
Chen Yansen lowered his head and whispered something into Song Yuncheng's ear.
Her cheeks, neck and earlobes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that Song Yuncheng did not agree but did not object, Chen Yansen took out a set of clothes with very little fabric from the cabinet next to him.
It turned out to be a modified version of equestrian clothing!
Ten minutes later, Song Yuncheng was dressed neatly, climbed onto the horse with a blushing face, and started practicing riding skills in the master bedroom of the villa.
at the same time.
Zhang Peng, who was far away in Shanghai, was standing on the Waibaidu Bridge with his girlfriend in his arms, grinning with his big white teeth showing, his smile was particularly bright.
"Handsome guy, separate from your girlfriend for a moment. You're almost ruining her makeup. Xiao Ou, put on some makeup first. Let's take a five-minute break."
The photographer got up from the ground and said to Zhang Peng.
He has taken wedding photos for many couples, but not many like today's.
The bride-to-be is actually ten years older than the groom-to-be!
As the saying goes, a woman who is three years older than a man is rich, and she has gold bricks. This guy in front of me has three gold bricks and some left over.
While Chen Fengling was putting on her makeup, the cameraman came up to Zhang Peng and asked curiously, "Handsome guy, is your girlfriend rich?"
This was the cameraman's first reaction.
Zhang Peng frowned slightly, feeling that this cameraman had no sense of boundaries. He didn't want to pay attention to him, but on second thought, he replied with a smile, "Yes, six apartments in Jinling, two apartments in Shanghai, and 30,000 yuan in pocket money every month."
"Oh my god! Is this true?" The cameraman's eyes lit up and he asked with a hint of sourness in his tone.
"Of course it's fake." Zhang Peng replied.
But he immediately added, "Actually, she gives me 40,000 yuan a month."
The photographer was slightly stunned and couldn't tell the real thing from the fake for a moment.
But he heard from the makeup artist that the money for the wedding photos was paid by the woman.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Peng again and again, and finally set his gaze three inches below the other's navel, thinking: This guy is just a little handsome, only a little more handsome than me, is there really anything special about him?
Next, the photographer looked at Zhang Peng enviously while working.
The exterior shots were not completed until it was completely dark.
On the way back, Chen Fengling suddenly asked, "Don't you think this photographer is weird?"
Zhang Peng laughed out loud, his shoulders shaking, and then he explained the whole thing from beginning to end.
Chen Fengling smiled softly, put her arm around Zhang Peng's shoulders and said, "I'm not the landlady of eight apartments. I'll try to work harder in my next life."
"Eight houses are not too many. I will buy one for you in the future."
Zhang Peng said confidently.
He has been transferred from Orange Payment in Xucheng to Semir Online in Luzhou. Due to the great success of the "freight insurance" project, he received three months' bonus for Q3 alone.
Based on his current income level and housing prices in Luzhou, it is not certain whether he can buy eight houses in Luzhou after working for a few more years, but two or three should be easy.
Chen Fengling looked at her little puppy painting a rosy picture for herself, her face full of smiles.
Her transfer application was also approved. After the National Day holiday, she will be able to transfer to Semir Online and work in the same company as Zhang Peng.
…
…
The seven-day holiday passed in a flash.
On the morning of October 8, Zhou Shouzhi, as the CEO of Orange Technology, announced the plan for the new product launch of Orange mobile phone.
October 18, Luzhou Binhu International Convention and Exhibition Center.
"Not in Xucheng? Has it changed to Luzhou?"
"I've finally waited! I'm glad I didn't buy the iPhone 5s. I want to see why the Yaocheng X2 took so long!"
"Go to the Orange Mall official website now. You can draw an invitation to the press conference at 12 noon. Click this link to go directly."
"Brothers, don't click it! The link above is a Trojan virus, click my link."
"Fuck! Those two bastards upstairs, it's clearly an invitation link, but they're hiding it, right? Invite your friends to participate in the lottery and you can get an extra chance to win. Brothers, don't be fooled."
Zhou Shouzhi's comment section suddenly had thousands of messages.
Invitations to Orange Mobile's new product launch conference have always been precious, because any fan who arrives at the scene can at least get a new Orange C series phone, which is worth about 2,000 yuan.
Mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad, Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and Meitu quickly received invitation letters and readily agreed to attend the event.
Although they are competitors, they all have more or less cooperation with Orange Technology.
For example, Huawei's Orange mobile phone factory is responsible for the OEM production of some of its low-end models. HiSilicon has purchased the architecture license for the Orange Z1 instruction set, and the two parties have also carried out patent cross-licensing cooperation in the research and development of baseband modules.
ZTE does the same and has installed the Aurora Future operating system in some of its models.
The Hongyan baseband of Tiangong A100 also relies on some technical support from ZTE.
Coolpad purchased Orange Technology's patent licenses for fast charging, battery management system and Aurora operating system.
Apple developed the A7 chip using the Orange Z1 instruction set, and fully used Deep Blue batteries in the 5s series.
Xiaomi, 360, LeTV, NetEase and Meitu, etc., are all Orange Technology's younger brothers. Who dares not to come when the big brother holds a new product launch conference?
