I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 447 Equestrianism! The Multi-Functional Uses of the Deep Blue Battery! Cook: To China!

July 7th, Lesser Heat, Villa No. 108, Delta.

Chen Yansen rested his head on Song Yuncheng's lap and scrolled through Douyin, rewatching "Unexpectedly".

Outside, the sun blazed down, the heat was intense, and even the camphor trees in the garden looked somewhat wilted.

Song Yuncheng held an Orange Pad, pondering and refining the marketing and promotion plan for LeEco mobile phones.

Although it will take another half a month for Jia Yueting's LeEco phones to complete the first batch of production, he couldn't wait any longer and planned to launch them simultaneously on July 10th through four major channels: Tmall, Pinduoduo, JD.com, and LeEco Mall.

As the project leader, Director Song had to follow up on the entire process, from plan formulation and implementation to results review.

Even though it's the weekend, she's still busy.

One of them was playing, and the other was working.

After a while, Chen Yansen got tired of scrolling and joked with Song Yuncheng, "I won't pay you overtime if you're not at the company."

"I make a living on commissions," Song Yuncheng said nonchalantly.

“Sunday is for rest, there’s no need to push yourself too hard,” Chen Yansen said, snatching the tablet from her hand and tossing it aside.

He asked Song Yuncheng to come and keep him company, not to have her work overtime.

"Stop fooling around, I'm busy with important things." Song Yuncheng leaned forward to grab the iPad, while simultaneously wrapping her arms tightly around Chen Yansen's head.

It's soft and bouncy, and has a delicate, refreshing floral fragrance.

Chen Yansen nuzzled her with his nose, making Song Yuncheng's cheeks flush pink.

Little Orange was already used to Mr. Chen's little hobby. Instead of dodging, she gently lowered her head and pecked him on the lips.

"Taking advantage of the boss is an even bigger crime! No way, I'm going to get revenge."

Chen Yansen said with a stern face.

Hearing him say that, Xiao Chengzi chuckled, kissed him again, and deliberately bit him hard.

Dare to provoke?
President Chen has never been one to tolerate things; if he has a grudge, he will settle it on the spot.

"Let me finish my work, please?" Song Yuncheng said breathlessly and coquettishly after a long while.

"Save it for tonight," Chen Yansen replied.

"What do you do during the day?" Song Yuncheng asked curiously.

"I'll teach you how to ride a horse," Chen Yansen said.

"You can ride a horse?" Song Yuncheng asked in surprise.

"No way," Chen Yansen replied matter-of-factly.

"Then how will you teach me?" Song Yuncheng couldn't help but chuckle.

“Riding a horse mainly depends on talent. I’ll learn first, and then I’ll teach you,” Chen Yansen said seriously.

An hour later, the two arrived by car at a commercial horse farm in Xiangcheng.

Chen Yansen had purchased two Duke membership cards in advance, with an annual fee of 29999 yuan. These cards not only granted him unlimited horseback riding throughout the year, but also provided a complete set of riding equipment, free lockers, bathing services, tea, and fruit platters.

The personal trainer was a woman in her late twenties, a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a large frame.

Although he is only five centimeters taller than Song Yuncheng, he is two or three sizes larger.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Yang Xinhu from Fanchen Club. You can call me Xiao Yang." Yang Xinhu introduced himself in a very generous manner.

She is the most skilled equestrian rider at Fanchen Club, specializing in one-on-one lessons for Duke members.

When the boss learned that Chen Yansen had applied for a card, he immediately assigned him to Yang Xinhu's account.

Yang Xinhu?
Chen Yansen looked at her strangely; her name sounded even more masculine than his own.

Song Yuncheng opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to complain: These parents are really unreliable.

But then she thought about it again and realized that it was really impolite to say that, so she swallowed her words back.

“My father is from Xiangcheng, and my mother is from Inner Mongolia. They hoped I would be a strong-willed girl, so they gave me this name, which I think is quite good,” Yang Xinhu shrugged and explained nonchalantly.

She had experienced similar scenes countless times and was numb to them.

Chen Yansen smiled and replied softly, "Hello, Coach Yang."

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Song, please follow me! The club provides Sanhe horses for beginners. These horses have good endurance and adaptability, as well as excellent speed and stamina. They are also docile and very suitable for daily training."

As Yang Xinhu led the two inside, he explained the situation.

Not far away, staff led out three robust horses, one black and two brown, about 1.5 meters tall, with well-proportioned bodies and full of energy.

"Don't be nervous when you ride a horse for the first time. First, greet the horse by approaching it from the side or rear. Don't suddenly appear from the front or behind. Horses have a wide field of vision, but the area directly behind them is a blind spot, which will frighten them."

Yang Xinhu explained slowly.

She reached out and touched the horse's neck, then said, "When mounting, step your left foot into the stirrup, grab the front of the saddle with your right hand, pull the reins with your left hand, push hard, and step your right leg over the horse's back. Once you're settled, put your right foot into the other stirrup."

Remember, only put the front half of your foot in the stirrup, with your heel lowered. This way, if you fall, your foot can quickly come out and you won't be dragged and injured.

Under Yang Xinhu's guidance, Chen Yansen quickly grasped the basics and then attempted to mount the horse.

The brown Sanhe horse sensed a subtle but intimidating power emanating from Chen Yansen.

Although Chen Yansen had already withdrawn his mental energy into the visualization black hole, the aura of biological suppression still made it feel uneasy.

"Be good." Chen Yansen smiled faintly, and then used his mental power to soothe it again as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma calmed down.

Chen Yansen gripped the reins and gently squeezed the horse's belly with his calf. The horse immediately began to trot obediently, gradually increasing its speed.

With his mental strength and physical constitution, he could easily tame any horse and easily maintain his balance.

Therefore, his riding skills improved rapidly. After two laps, his posture and demeanor were just like those of a master equestrian with ten years of experience.

"It's so awesome!"

Yang Xinhu was dumbfounded; this was the easiest time she had ever earned this tuition fee.

Song Yuncheng gazed at Chen Yansen, who was dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse in the arena, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Her bright eyes were filled with his image.

Before long, under Yang Xinhu's guidance, Xiao Chengzi also sat shakily on the saddle and, with great courage, whispered "Giddy up" to the horse.

Seeing this, Chen Yansen separated a portion of his spiritual power to protect her body.

The two did not leave the club until 5 p.m.

As soon as Song Yuncheng got into the car, he said embarrassedly, "My thighs are sore and painful. Riding a horse may look cool, but it's not comfortable at all."

“There’s a type of horse that gets more comfortable the more you ride it,” Chen Yansen said, squinting his eyes.

"Then take me to try it next time," Song Yuncheng said expectantly.

"No need, I can ride it tonight," Chen Yansen said seriously.

"..." Song Yuncheng was just inexperienced, not slow to react; her fair and pretty face immediately flushed red. At the same time.

In a factory called "Beacon Fire" in the Northwest region, several researchers with star badges on their shoulders are gathered together, testing the battery life of individual soldier radios.

They were among the first buyers of DeepBlue Battery's patent licenses, and also among the most powerful.

The factory mainly produces electronic equipment for individual soldiers, including walkie-talkies, encrypted radios, and satellite phones.

What is the energy usage rate?

"63%! At the extreme low temperature of -20 degrees Celsius, the performance drops by about 15% to 20%, which is several times stronger than the lithium-sulfur battery from Bincheng Institute of Physics and Chemistry."

"I really want to take it apart and see what materials it's made of!"

"Don't mess around! The battery has a fuse circuit inside, and you can't restore the specific parameters by forcibly disassembling it."

"It's really something up there. Why don't they just let us produce the batteries too? Why do they have to separate them?"

"I heard that the technology for this lithium-sulfur battery came from a private company."

"It's just a deep blue battery, what's so mysterious about it? But thinking about it, it's really embarrassing. We've been researching with the Bincheng Institute of Chemical Physics for more than five years, and we're still not as good as a private company."

"In fact, Chen Jian has already found the right direction and has raised the energy density to 410 watt-hours per kilogram, which is not much different from the 600 watt-hours of the Deep Blue Battery."

"Stop flattering Chen Jian. His data is from a laboratory at a constant temperature. He hasn't even solved problems like the shuttle effect, lithium dendrites, and short cycle life. He's still a long way from the Deep Blue Battery."

The lead researcher interrupted the discussion of the others.

The difference between good and bad is obvious. Battery technology that even the higher-ups are willing to readily spend money on can't be too bad.

As far as he knew, not only Fenghuo, but also Panda, Beifeng and 712 had received the new type of battery to upgrade the electronic equipment carried by individual soldiers.

From night vision devices and thermal imagers to Beidou positioning terminals, radios, and tactical backpacks, all will gradually adopt this latest lithium-sulfur battery.

At that time, the battery life will double, and the combat power will also be enhanced.

Chen Yansen's importance increased several times over after the advent of the Deep Blue Battery.

Yuan Ruili was instructed to provide both financial and logistical support behind the scenes.

The inspection station was set up in the park as soon as the original factory of UPU Battery was renovated, just to ensure the production safety of DeepBlue Battery.

He knew that the Deep Blue Battery had been included in the national strategic technology list, and if anything went wrong, he would be implicated.

But if you achieve something, it will be a great accomplishment.

As for the equipment, positive and negative electrodes, and electrolyte raw materials needed for production, the corresponding minerals have been purchased with the coordination of Shenzhen authorities.

Insufficient funds?

Yuan Ruili immediately contacted the bank!
Unable to purchase the equipment?
The central government personally intervened.

With smooth sailing and efficient assistance, the equipment debugging and mass production process optimization work at DeepBlue Battery's No. 1 factory quietly began before mid-July.

Although companies such as BYD, CATL, and Desay have received the news, Chen Yansen has clearly stated that he will not sell the patent license for Deep Blue Battery to external parties for the time being.

Some people think that Deep Blue batteries have obvious defects and are only suitable for niche applications; others believe that their company was rejected because their price did not meet Chen Yansen's expectations.

From 30 million to 50 million, or even 100 million, no matter how high the offer, Chen Yansen did not budge.

Increasing the patent royalty rate from 2% to 5% still failed to sway him.

For Chen Yansen, it's best not to open your mouth if you don't have at least 10%. You bunch of bastards, for every battery you sell, the cost of the separator, electrolyte additives, and cathode materials, plus the patent fees, can reach 15%.

When it comes to me, I only get 5%?

Trying to fob off a beggar? Who do you think you are!
If you don't have money, get out!

If you can't afford it, just go home and wait to die!

Chen Yansen knew that Xiao Rizi had built up multiple patent barriers in the field of solid-state batteries, so he simply chose lithium-sulfur batteries as his breakthrough direction and started from scratch.

In an instant, all the hard work of daily life was wasted!

After Deep Blue Battery is launched, it will be based on Orange mobile phones, computers, smart bracelets, electric vehicles and other products, and then gradually push lithium-sulfur batteries to the market.

The higher the market share of Deep Blue Battery, the more valuable this patent will become.

Just like the Aurora OS, which was ignored when the Orange phone was first launched, now more than a dozen phone manufacturers are using Aurora OS.

Chen Yansen was well aware of this: only by hurting their competitors would they obediently hand over the money.

Of course, Senlian Capital will also fully support any peers who are willing to cooperate.

For example, if Xiaomi, NetEase, 360, and Meitu Mobile dare to help promote the Aurora Future system, Senlian Capital will help them reduce supply chain costs and will also take over production and after-sales service.

at the same time.

Lu Hongbo received a data summary from the sales department. From mid-June to early July, in less than a month, the number of franchisees of the Nica factory store had decreased by more than 400.

After making inquiries from various sources, I learned that I either had to change careers and sell fried chicken and milk tea, or switch to OPPO or VIVO.

The Nica Big Green Orange sold only 3.7 units in half a month after its launch.

He used to lament that there were too many fools and Nica's production capacity couldn't keep up, but now he's dumbfounded because customers are buying Orange phones.

At worst, I would consider the Redmi 1 or 360 F1 as alternatives.

In the past, Nica mobile phones would enter their peak sales season during the summer vacation, but this year the peak season seems to have come very late.

Perhaps they came, but it didn't show up in sales figures.

the other side.

Taking advantage of the downturn in Baidu's advertising business, Wang Xin secured a two-month exclusive cooperation agreement for 6000 million yuan.

When users search for keywords such as 'group buying', 'loan', and 'P2P' on Baidu, the official website of Tuangou Loan will appear on the first screen.

In addition, there are also advertorials about group-buying loans on Baidu Knows and Baidu Q&A.

The core message is: high returns, low risk, with an annualized return of up to 9%.

The implication is that the investment share that users can purchase through group-buying loans is much higher than that of Yu'ebao, Lingqianbao, and Yulibao.

Advertisements for group-buying loans have also appeared on the subway and buses in Yanjing.

In the prosperous and stable year of 2013, an annualized return of 6% to 9% did not raise any alarm; on the contrary, it was considered quite reasonable.

After all, Yu'ebao's annualized yield has soared to 5.6% in the past week.

In reality, those who borrow money are even bolder, daring to apply for loans with interest rates as low as 15% or 18%, as if they could earn 50% or even 100% returns in just a few months.

Borrowing money to buy a house, borrowing money to invest, borrowing money to start a business—a carefully woven net has trapped those born in the 80s and 90s.

At the same time, Chen Yansen returned to Xucheng and accompanied Song Yuncheng to practice riding skills.

Meanwhile, Apple, located on the other side of the ocean, learned of the existence of the Deep Blue Battery after making inquiries from various sources.

Double the energy density?
Then the Apple 5S could be made even thinner!
Cook immediately became interested!
