Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Chapter 93 The direction of making money
With Chen Hai's superb driving skills, the car quickly completed a five- to six-kilometer winding mountain road and entered what Fang Qiming said was an unfinished resort.

After getting off the car, as a child who grew up in the mountains, Kang Chi immediately felt a sense of intimacy from nature.

Although the resort looks a bit desolate and has obviously been unfinished for a while, the frame of the house has been completed and the area is quite large. Kang Chi felt quite satisfied after briefly walking around inside.

The main building in the middle can be converted into his own residence and workshop, and the two buildings next to him can be used as guest rooms for Chen Hai and others to live in.

Although Chen Hai never asked Kang Chi to arrange accommodation, they couldn't be allowed to sleep in haystacks and feed mosquitoes while protecting themselves in this barren mountain, right?

"This looks like a hot spring resort... Are there any hot springs nearby?"

"No, how many of the current hot spring resorts are real hot springs? They are all artificially heated tap water."

"That's right. Then all these pools can be filled in by then, and just one of them can be used as a swimming pool."

"Well, it depends on Brother Kang's needs. As long as you buy it, you can change it however you want."

After listening to Fang Qiming's words, Kang Chi couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He couldn't wait to think that he could finally have his own home and build a large manor in one step.

"I feel pretty good. I'd better leave this matter to you and Sister Juan. Just put it in the name of the company. It doesn't make any difference to me anyway."

"Well, yes, this project has been rejected many times. The next auction seems to be next week. It should be no problem to get the starting price. I will also ask Sister Juan to borrow as much as possible to buy it and leave more money for you to use for renovation... …”

Ha ha,

Look at this kid, how sensible he is.

While Kang Chi was pleased, he was also thinking about what technology he should use to make money.

In fact, it is not difficult for Kangchi to engage in technology. As long as he starts from a low-level prototype like a graphics card, continuously upgrades and then analyzes it, he can easily acquire technological knowledge.

However, technology also varies according to circumstances.

For commercial technologies such as lenses and graphics chips, it is obviously more cost-effective to slowly develop them yourself than to sell them to others.

For some technologies, such as arms, electricity, railways and other state-operated industries, no matter how skilled an individual is, there is no use for them. At this time, it is better to sell the technology directly to the state and earn a technology licensing fee.

On the way back, Kang Chi was thinking about what to do, when the car suddenly stopped.

Kang Chi turned and looked out the window. It turned out that Chen Hai had driven the car into the gas station and was about to refuel.

come on?

Kang Chi suddenly had an idea.
He looked at the display on the tanker.

No. 92 gasoline, 7.87 yuan/liter!
Lying trough,

Did it go up so much?

Since Chen Hai became his driver, Kang Chi hasn't filled up his own gas for a long time, but he remembers that when he first bought the car, 92-proof gasoline seemed to only cost just over 6 yuan, right?

It has only been more than half a year, and it has almost exceeded the 8 yuan mark.

After Chen Hai finished filling up the gas and got into the car, Kang Chi asked, "Why has the price of gas risen so much now?"

"There's a fight between the old men in the north. Don't you know about such a big thing?"

"Well, I have been immersed in silicon wafers during this period, and I have not heard anything about the world..."

"Yes." Chen Hai smiled, and then explained to Kang Chi the rise in global oil prices caused by this conflict.

Finally, he concluded: "If nothing else happens, oil prices will definitely continue to rise."

"Hey, the industry has been undergoing transformation in the past two years, the economy has not been very prosperous to begin with, and the global situation is so turbulent..." Fang Qiming couldn't help but sigh, "Our life is not easy either."

"It's okay, this is all temporary." Chen Hai comforted with a smile, "As long as we can continue to fight hard, we will definitely be able to reverse the situation. The development of civilization has always been twists and turns."

Fang Qiming nodded and said: "Actually, I think there is another very important factor in the rise in oil prices. That is, in order to cooperate with the development of new energy vehicles, the authorities intend to increase the cost of using fuel vehicles..."

Chen Hai didn't have much to say on this issue. He just nodded lightly and said, "Maybe."

As for Kang Chi, he had already taken out his mobile phone and started checking various information.

Ok,
In fact, what Fang Qiming said is right.

From the data point of view, although international crude oil prices have increased, it is obvious that domestic oil prices have increased more and faster.
This is obviously promoting the development of new energy sources by slightly sacrificing the interests of fuel vehicle owners.

In fact, so far, thermal power still accounts for more than 7% of China's power structure. At least until green energy becomes a major member of the power grid, new energy vehicles cannot be said to be very green at all.

Therefore, the most fundamental reason for vigorously developing new energy sources is not green environmental protection at all, but energy security issues.

Although we have long since removed ourselves from the label of an oil-poor country, with the imbalance of production capacity and consumption year by year, nearly [-]% of our oil is already dependent on imports.

And as many domestic oil fields are depleted and production is reduced, this proportion is likely to continue to expand.
This is obviously dangerous at a time when the global situation is becoming increasingly complex.
That’s why we need to deploy the new energy industry early and reduce our dependence on oil imports.In fact, doing so can only alleviate the energy crisis.

Don’t forget that oil is not only an energy source, it is also called the blood of industry.
The economic value of hundreds of substances such as plastics, fibers, rubber, medicines, and pesticides derived from it even far exceeds the combustion value.

that,
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Of course there is,
That’s shale oil!

Although it is true that we do not have much high-quality oil that can be directly exploited, we have not lost much in shale oil.
China has conducted a shale oil resource survey and found a total of 476.4 billion tons of reserves, ranking third in the world!
However, due to mining technology and cost, there has been no large-scale mining.

But technology is this thing,

Isn’t that what Kang Chi is good at!
After Kang Chi put down his mobile phone, he began to wonder in his mind how to mine this liquid gold to not only strengthen the country and benefit the people, but also get a share of the pie...
-
After handling the matters in Dongyang, Kang Chi quickly returned to Pingjiang. Although Dahan Silicon Industry has gradually gotten back on track, some general directions still need to be handled by Kang Chi.

Dahan Silicon originally planned to hold a summary meeting at the end of the month, but in order to take care of Kang Chi's time, the meeting was postponed a few days.

As soon as Kang Chi returned to the company, Ming Yuhan immediately reported to Kang Chi the status of the company during his absence in the past few days, and finally said: "The monthly meeting will be held in an hour. In addition, this is what Suzhou University has sent to you. Graduation certificates and degree certificates.”

"Oh?"

Kang Chi took the two certificates handed over by Ming Yuhan and looked at them carefully.

When Wu Lihong called to congratulate him a few days ago, he mentioned graduation on the phone, but when he actually got the certificate, Kang Chi was still a little excited.

at last,

We are also certified doctors.

I don’t know if there is any precedent in the history of Jiangsu Province University where he directly obtained a doctorate degree without ever going to school...

"Hey, I couldn't take a photo in my academic uniform. It feels like it's missing a bit of a ceremony."

While feeling emotional, Kang Chi suddenly thought that if this was really taken, my mother would probably hang the photo high in the living room immediately...

Ok,
It’s better not to take pictures anymore.

Otherwise, you will panic.

In order to test Ming Yuhan's integration into the company, Kang Chi appointed her to host this meeting.

So an hour later, in the large conference room, Ming Yuhan stood alone at the speaker's table, looking nervously at the management below, and began to make a monthly summary report.

"...Pingjiang Company increased its silicon wafer production capacity from 6 million to 120 million in June, manufacturing a total of 200 million 12-inch silicon wafers, all of which were sold at 155 yuan per square inch based on the price of 6.4 yuan per square inch before the price increase. It was given to domestic semiconductor companies such as Shanghai Silicon Industry, SMIC, and Alli Micro, with a total turnover of 686.7 billion and a net profit of 10.64 million. In the domestic 3.19-inch silicon wafer market, we have occupied 12%."

"In Steel City, a total of 6 single crystal furnaces were manufactured in June, two of which were used by Pingjiang Company, and one was delivered to Liangwei. The final payment for the equipment was 3 million yuan."

"In addition, because Shin-Etsu Chemical's polishing equipment was cut off from China some time ago, the expansion plans of most silicon wafer plants were shelved. Therefore, 16 of the 9 single crystal furnaces previously signed by Steel City Company were eventually withdrawn because This was caused by uncontrollable factors, so all the deposits previously collected were refunded to them.”

"Of the remaining 7 units, 3 units were ordered by Shanghai Silicon Industry for Silicon Information and were canceled altogether during the acquisition. Only 4 units were actually sold. 1 unit has been delivered so far, and the remaining 3 units Delivery should be completed next month.”

Ok……

Seeing Ming Yuhan speaking more and more eloquently and confidently on the stage, Kang Chi felt a little more relieved.

After more than two months, she has a basic understanding of the business of Dahan Silicon Industry, and she is becoming more and more comfortable in using it.

The only problem is,
The net profit from selling silicon wafers is only 3.19 million per month?

Although this is not the maximum production capacity, even if it manufactures 200 million pieces per month, it will only make a profit of 4 million at most.

The total loan amount of Dahan Silicon Industry is 294.5 billion. If we follow this rate, it will take 73 months, almost 6 years to pay off the debt...

Even if the domestic silicon wafer market grows at a rate of 50% per year, it will take at least 3 years, right?

Well, but looking at it from another angle,

It takes more than three years to actually get a company worth tens of billions, and there will be profits of hundreds of millions every month in the future...

It seems to be quite fragrant too?

"Well, do those companies that have withdrawn orders for monocrystalline furnaces now have plans to expand production?" Kang Chi suddenly asked.

"Probably not. Now the domestic silicon wafer factories are frightened by our momentum. They are afraid that our continued expansion of production will squeeze their living space, and they dare not expand production at all..."

Kang Chi nodded, then stood up and said, "Now I have to trouble the public relations department to convey my meaning properly..."

"Dahan Silicon will not completely monopolize the domestic silicon wafer market. We only need to continue to maintain about 80% of the domestic market share, leaving some soil for other silicon wafer factories to develop. And if we continue to expand production, the goal should not be The domestic market, but the international market.”

"At the same time, we should also actively mobilize other domestic silicon wafer factories to follow us to seize the international market, instead of just grabbing this small piece of domestic cake..."

"I hope the marketing department can set up a separate international marketing department and submit a feasible strategic planning plan as soon as possible."
