Chapter 753 Increased Industrial Foundation! A second-rate brand, adding a few Deep Blue Batteries, dares to sell for 700,000?
The first Sanhe Ancient Town World Congress was held as scheduled on November 19.
During the conference, search terms such as "Yansen's dinner party", "Ma Liyun who was isolated", "Li Yanhong who suffered user retaliation" and "Zhang Chaoyang talking about quantum mechanics and life sciences" became trending topics among netizens.
In the autumn of 2014, the mobile internet officially ushered in its golden age of development.
E-commerce, logistics, search, big data, and cloud computing have become the mainstream of the times, while artificial intelligence is still in the nascent stage of business exploration.
Senlian Capital, Microsoft, and Google are all quietly investing in this field, but no one can say for sure who will be the first to produce research results.
After all, the difficulty of developing a new technology is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
No one can guarantee that the future direction they choose or the implementation scenario they plan will be correct.
On the other side.
Mr. Chen accepted everything without hesitation, wanting to get the benefits first.
After failing to win over Chen Yansen, Blaise of the Lighthouse Business Association privately proposed several joint factory construction projects.
It was clearly an attempt to give Chen Yansen a taste of success first, and then gradually sway his decision.
Mr. Chen accepted everything without hesitation, showing no politeness whatsoever to Blaise.
Over the next few days, Chen Yansen was busy with meetings during the day and spent his evenings exploring the ancient town with Xiao Ma, Zhang Chaoyang, and others.
During breaks from drinking and chatting, the group would also discuss business.
Three days later, on the evening of November 21, DeepBlue Technology, Orange Technology, Orange Mobile Phone Factory and Apple signed a preliminary cooperation agreement in a private room at Luzhoufu.
Over the next three years, Senlian Capital will prioritize Apple in its supply chain and will provide it with access to the latest version of DeepBlue Battery, instruction set architecture, and a full suite of parsing development tools.
In exchange, Apple must outsource 70% of its manufacturing of iPhones, tablets, and laptops to Orange Mobile.
In short, Apple exchanged the order for the right to purchase advanced technology, and Chen Yansen was able to expand the size of Orange Mobile's factory again with this order.
The following day, Senlian Capital signed contracts with Tokyo Electron and Yanjing Huachuang respectively, planning to jointly establish an integrated circuit equipment manufacturing plant.
From the outside perspective, this marks the beginning of Xingyuan Technology leading the establishment of a domestic supply chain.
Semiconductor associations in Europe and the United States have been looking for an opportunity to join forces to suppress StarSource Technology, but they can't help but feel discouraged when they think of the Dawn A220 lithography machine.
The importance of this equipment in the semiconductor industry is comparable to the deterrent power of an atomic bomb.
Having it and not having it are completely different treatments.
According to assessments, it will take at least five years for the performance and wafer processing efficiency of the ASML NXE 3300B to catch up with the Dawn A220.
Therefore, whether they like it or not, as long as Europe and the United States want to make profits in the semiconductor industry chain, they have no choice but to include China.
Otherwise, Xingyuan Technology has the ability to overturn the table at any time.
However, the underlying conflicts still exist, and now it remains to be seen who will lose their temper first and tear off the mask of civility.

Yujing Villa, Villa No. 8.
Ye Qiuping sat in the octagonal pavilion in the center of the courtyard. The warm autumn sun shone through a layer of windproof glass, falling entirely on her waist, abdomen, and thighs.
There are two sets left, which are currently unused.
Previously, Chen Yansen had Gao Weilin buy five villas in Luzhou, but only three of them are currently occupied.
He himself lives in Bihu Yunxi year-round, Ye Qiuping lives in Yujing Villa, and Xu Xingxing lives in Haiwan No. 9.
Ye Qiuping stared at the computer screen, reviewing the departmental contract word by word.
Her experience clearly shows that as long as you are smart enough, even if you haven't read many books, you can still develop a set of mature management skills through practice.
During her year at the helm of Orange Communications, the number of users of various internet phone cards steadily increased, and revenue continued to grow.
Although the majority of the profits are taken by the operators, the remaining portion is still considerable.
Chen Yansen told her to rest at home, but Ye Qiuping and Song Yuncheng were two completely different people; Ye Qiuping was several times more career-minded.
She could sense the change in Chen Yansen's attitude, but she didn't believe that this change could last a lifetime.
People need to demonstrate their value.
If you're really someone's caged bird, what's the difference between you and a doll?
Therefore, in Ye Qiuping's mind, only by making money for Chen Yansen and helping him manage the subsidiary's business could she gain a higher status.
She understands this very well.
Not long after, Huang Jiawen, wearing a light blue work uniform, carried a bowl of warm soup and gently placed it in front of the mobile dining table next to her.
"Miss Ye, this is a yam and lotus seed stewed pigeon soup. It can strengthen the spleen and calm the mind, and can also help with pregnancy and relieve morning sickness."
She explained with a smile.
Wong Ka-man is a high-end nanny from Hong Kong Island. She holds a Master of Medicine degree from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in Nutrition from Copenhagen University. She is fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, and her excellent cooking skills have made her quite well-known in Hong Kong Island's high society.
Large families like the Li, He, and Huo families typically hire her as their personal maternal and infant care specialist before and after the birth of their grandchildren.
The monthly cost is as high as 80,000!
It was a bit expensive, but for Chen Yansen, this expense was like losing a penny—not worth mentioning at all.
"Yes, thank you."
Ye Qiuping put down the mouse, picked up the soup bowl, and took small sips.
She thought to herself that compared to herself, the little one in her belly was obviously much happier.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
After recognizing the person in the surveillance footage, a woman in her fifties quickly put down her work, walked briskly to the door, and opened it for Chen Yansen.
Seeing this, Huang Jiawen silently retreated back to her room.
When she was in Hong Kong Island, her monthly salary was HK$50,000 to HK$60,000, but Chen Yansen not only offered her HK$80,000, but also gave her a generous bonus.
She knew in her heart that this money was both a bonus and hush money.
If the outside world knew that Chen Yansen already had a child, the entire internet would probably explode.
Selling this news to a newspaper could easily fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But she wouldn't dare to do anything reckless!
She knew a principle well: most people with status and influence may not be bad people, but they are definitely not purely good people.
Good people are bound by too many moral constraints; at most, they can become moderately wealthy, but they will never have the chance to become truly rich.
And top tycoons like Chen Yansen are certainly not as harmless as they appear on the surface.
She had met many people from high society, and her fear was deeply ingrained. She could also distinguish which money she should take and which she should never touch.
"Aunt Lu, thank you for your help."
Chen Yansen greeted Lu Meifang in a gentle tone.
“Sir, it’s no trouble at all.”
Lu Meifang waved her hand repeatedly and then tactfully returned to her room.
Chen Yansen walked past several potted plants and into the octagonal pavilion in the center of the pool.
He reached out and ruffled Ye Qiuping's hair, then pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Still looking at documents?"
Chen Yansen glanced at the screen and asked.
"Boss, don't worry, I won't delay having a baby! Orange Communications' business is relatively stable right now, mostly fixed cooperative projects, so it's not a big deal."
Ye Qiuping said hurriedly.
Chen Yansen smiled and shook his head, handing a palm-sized food box to Ye Qiuping: "Here, your spicy rabbit head."
"Boss, why is there only one? My mouth is tasteless, I just want something spicy."
Ye Qiuping's eyelids drooped as she spoke in a distressed tone.
Ever since Huang Jiawen moved in, her good days have come to an end. She has strict requirements about what she eats every day, how much she eats, what time she eats, and even what fruits she should eat and what nutritional supplements she should take.
After eating it for three or four days in a row, my mouth was so bland that I had to raise fish in it. I couldn't take it anymore, so I sent a message to Chen Yansen asking if I wanted to eat spicy rabbit head.
"Just one, take it or leave it."
Chen Yansen replied irritably.
When Ye Qiuping realized that her attempts to charm her were ineffective, she had no choice but to accept reality.
She put on disposable gloves, opened the food box, picked up a rabbit head, and started gnawing on it.
Here, Chen Yansen took out a Sun Son mango from the fruit plate.
The fruit knife was incredibly nimble in his hands; in the blink of an eye, he peeled off the skin and cut the flesh into thumb-sized pieces, placing them in a fruit plate in front of Ye Qiuping.
at the same time.
The first batch of Zhulong G1051 five-axis CNC machine tools from Senlian Precision Machinery were successfully delivered to the Luzhou Controlled Thermonuclear Reaction Research Experimental Station.
In addition, several manufacturers of large dental crowns and bridges have also placed orders with Senlian Precision.
The reason is that the Aurogon G1051 can precisely process dental restorations that are highly matched to the teeth based on the patient's oral scan data, thereby significantly improving the comfort and aesthetics of the restorations.
In the past, they would only purchase high-precision machine tools from Germany and other manufacturers, but after the birth of the Zhulong G1051, the trend of domestic manufacturing industry changed.
Automobile manufacturers such as Great Wall Motors, JAC Motors, and BAIC Motor have also purchased a batch of Zhulong G1051 engines for the production of engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings.
Some manufacturers did so to optimize their supplier management systems, while others were required by their superiors to purchase several Zhulong G1051 machines, regardless of whether they were in urgent need at the moment, as a way to contribute to the development of the domestic machine tool industry.
It is important to understand that if an industry does not have the support of orders and does not have industrial integration with upstream companies in the industrial chain, it will be difficult to develop and design more advanced and efficient machine tools.
The number of orders for the Aurogon G1051 is snowballing!
Machine tool manufacturers in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States quickly realized that their business was declining, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was only natural for China's manufacturing industry to adopt domestically produced machine tools.
Products they were previously unwilling to sell now have a quarter fewer buyers than before, even if they wanted to.
Seeing this, Xiao Rizi raised the prices of its high-speed milling and EDM machine tools again in an attempt to stabilize revenue growth.
What they didn't know was that Senlian Precision was also pushing forward with new product development, targeting not only high-speed milling and EDM machine tools, but also small machining centers and robotics.
The foundation of China's industry is growing stronger every day at an exponential rate.

On the morning of November 24, Google Glass Explorer Edition ceased sales, primarily due to its high price, excessive weight, poor user experience, and privacy concerns.
Half an hour later, He Xiaopeng launched XPeng's first product at the Yanjing 798 Art Center – the XPeng Motors Beta Edition, equipped with the first-generation Deep Blue Battery.
The front-wheel-drive standard version has a range of 800 kilometers and is priced at 698,000 yuan;
The four-wheel drive high-spec version has a range of 1,200 kilometers and is priced at 998,000 yuan.
Its pricing is comparable to that of the Tesla Model LR.
It's clear that He Xiaopeng doesn't intend to rip off poor people, but rather wants to compete with Tesla for high-end market users.
At the press conference, He Xiaopeng touted the front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, automatic parking, and low-speed follow functions of XPeng Motors' Beta version to the skies.
Unlike traditional gasoline-powered cars, this vehicle is equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel. The central control screen has a resolution of 1080p and can realize full touch vehicle control, with functions including window adjustment, tailgate opening and closing, driver's seat angle adjustment, etc.
It also features practical functions such as real-time traffic map navigation, online music playback, and Moss voice interaction.
While Li Auto, NIO, and Orange Auto were still setting up production workshops, XPeng had already partnered with Haima Auto to develop the XPeng Beta version of its vehicles.
However, only 37 vehicles were sold within 24 hours of the pre-sale opening.
The reason for this is that consumers are more willing to trust Tesla.
The car was built in just over a year, and frankly, the buyer was too afraid to gamble with his life.
In 2014, wouldn't someone who could afford to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy an electric car know that the manufacturer of XPeng Motors' Beta version was Haima Automobile, owned by Greentown?
A washed-up, second-rate car brand dares to sell a car for 700,000 yuan after installing a few Deep Blue batteries. They must be desperate for money!
Seeing that pre-sale sales were not good, He Xiaopeng hurriedly announced that the product functions would be upgraded before the vehicles were delivered, trying to attract users with the marketing gimmick of "more features for the same price", but it was ultimately ineffective.
On the surface, it seems that XPeng failed this time, but in reality, it was LeEco that suffered the most.
Because Jia Yaoting had previously spent over 20 billion yuan and wasted a year, yet he still couldn't produce any decent results.
He Xiaopeng is using his own and investors' money to build cars, while LeEco is betting on the interests of its shareholders.
When retail investors saw that Xpeng had only sold 37 cars, they couldn't help but question: Can LeEco succeed in making cars?
They are well aware that DeepBlue Technology is the godfather behind all new energy vehicles. As long as battery costs don't come down and the charging network isn't perfect, new energy vehicles are not a worthwhile option to buy.
Just like Tesla at that time, most of its sales came from Europe and the United States.
Even if there are some orders in mainland China, they are mostly concentrated in first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen.
The lukewarm reception of XPeng Motors has dealt a heavy blow to domestic car brands aiming to penetrate the high-end electric vehicle market.
He Xiaopeng was deeply frustrated and prepared to further refine his battery management technology and the three-electric system.
Otherwise, when XPeng Motors is finally launched, it will likely suffer a terrible defeat.
"Brother Jun, I've been underestimating the complexity of car manufacturing."
He Xiaopeng called Lei Yijun out and said with a wry smile.
"I've looked at the specifications of XPeng's Beta version. The product itself is fine, but your marketing has major issues. You should..."
Lei Yijun slowly began to share his insights and experiences.
At the same time.
After more than a year of construction, the Orange Auto headquarters, located in the virtual city, has finally completed the construction of the first two phases of the project.
Next, Wang Chao will focus on establishing the four core production workshops: stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly, and will begin recruiting and conducting preliminary training.
The failure of XPeng Motors did not affect the morale of Orange Auto's R&D center.
As Orange Auto Factory began its recruitment drive, skilled workers from BAIC, SAIC, Great Wall, and BYD's workshops are quietly leaving.
Although the base salary at Orange Auto Factory is only 3,300 yuan, domestic workers have long been familiar with Senlian Capital's bonus and welfare system.
Who would give up a job with a monthly salary of eight or nine thousand to do a job with a monthly salary of four or five thousand?
