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

Chapter 467 The Mystic Pivot Architecture! A $15 Billion Procurement Order!
Musk saw Chen Yansen's smiling face and assumed that the other party had agreed. However, just as the thought crossed his mind, he heard Chen Yansen say, "Forget about building the factory."

Mr. Chen decisively refused without giving any reason, because it was unnecessary!
There's only one manufacturer with such high-energy-density batteries as DeepBlue; Tesla can buy it or not, it's up to them.

Although there weren't many companies making pure electric vehicles in 2013, there were many hybrid vehicles, including several in China.

For example, Great Wall Motors, BAIC Group, SAIC Motor, and Yutong Bus have all expressed their intention to cooperate with Chen Yansen.

Tesla's Model S LR version saw sales increase more than tenfold in North America, giving a host of domestic automakers a new opportunity for industry development.

Musk's expression froze. He didn't understand why Chen Yansen had repeatedly refused to see him, even though Chen had clearly agreed to.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"But technically, DeepBlue Technology and Tesla do have strategic value in cooperating. I hope Tesla can provide a chassis dynamics model so that DeepBlue Technology can input battery weight and center of gravity data to simulate vehicle handling and design a more suitable battery product."

Chen Yansen added.

The implication is that if you want better products, you must open up your technical interfaces to DeepBlue Technology and provide multi-dimensional, high-precision data, including information such as vehicle performance requirements, structural limitations, and usage scenarios.

Fake!

Musk cursed under his breath.

The young man in front of me is even more arrogant than Panasonic!
He thought of leaving several times, but dared not, fearing that he would anger Chen Yansen and cause him to cut off his goods.

After pondering for a while, Musk forced a smile and nodded heavily, saying, "Mr. Chen's suggestion is excellent, I have no objection."

"Is it difficult?"

Chen Yansen asked back.

“No problem,” Musk replied with a smile.

"That's good," Chen Yansen said calmly.

He was confident that Tesla in 2013 would be at a critical juncture in its development and dared not refuse DeepBlue Technology.

The 4890 is just a trial product for DeepBlue Technology. By cooperating with Tesla and leveraging their industry experience and technical data, they can develop a more powerful power battery.

It's an honor for Tesla to be used as a guinea pig; others would love to be one but don't have the chance.

Seeing that Musk was sensible, Chen Yansen's conversation became much more pleasant afterward.

He rejected Musk's requests for technology research and development cooperation, joint ventures to build factories, and localized supply chains, but he did agree to Musk's proposals for collaboration on standards setting, prepayment for production capacity, and long-term supply agreements.

In short, based on the current pre-sale performance of the Model S LR, Musk proactively increased the value of the procurement contract to $15 billion in exchange for priority supply rights for Deep Blue batteries.

After confirming the contract details, both parties signed a series of preliminary documents, including a letter of intent, a confidentiality agreement, a framework agreement, a technology agreement, and an advance payment agreement.

The main purpose is to clarify rights and obligations, reduce uncertainty in cooperation, and avoid breakdowns in subsequent negotiations or disputes during contract performance.

That evening, Chen Yansen hosted a dinner for Musk at a hotel in the city.

During the meeting, Musk talked about his entrepreneurial experience and his family, and his face was full of smiles when he talked about his eldest son.

Chen Yansen looked at him strangely. Among top entrepreneurs, Musk is the only one who has realized the two dreams of 'having a son and raising a daughter'.

at the same time.

Ma Liyun, using the user ID 'Feng Qingyang', remains active on Laiwang, dealing with a bunch of netizens asking for money or trying to establish a family connection.

Externally, Lao Ma's slogan is "Burn down Antarctica, defeat the penguins!"
When the user retention data came out the next day, Ma Liyun was stunned; the day-two retention rate was only 15.3%.

In three days, a total of 1130 million new users were acquired, and the total cost, including advertising, was 2 million yuan.

On the third day, daily active users reached 329 million, while the number of users from the first two days was only 69.

Those bastards, they just grabbed the traffic and the red envelopes and ran away! Meanwhile, Yunzhou has over 600 million registered users, and with the help of Pinbei's hundreds of thousands of merchant resources, its new customer growth rate is extremely fast.

The well-designed OA system, excellent product interaction, and stable servers, along with the integration of fast ride-hailing and Kuaipao food delivery enterprise versions, have significantly improved enterprise management efficiency, enabling Yunzhou to gain widespread adoption in the e-commerce industry far faster than expected.

After comparing several enterprise office software options, some internet companies in East China have chosen Yunzhou.

After Ma Wenteng copied Chen Yansen several times, Chen Yansen didn't tolerate it and snatched a lot of market share from Tencent QQ.

At 10 a.m., Ali set "WeChat" and "WeChat payment QR code" as prohibited words in all its products and cut off the data connection between Taobao and WeChat.

At this point, the two Mas completely fell out.

Even the homepage links of Taobao and Yaomao Mall cannot be opened in WeChat; they can only redirect to the download and installation page.

The two sides started a war of words online.

Following this, Tencent took countermeasures, blocking all Taobao links in WeChat, including download links, citing the need to prevent malicious marketing.

Ali publicly accused Tencent of monopolistic practices, claiming that Tencent's malicious blocking of Taobao links was an act that disregarded user experience.

By leveraging WeChat's massive user base and influence on mobile devices, forcibly severing the ecosystem is essentially using unfair competition to squeeze out the survival space of other products.

The confrontation between the two sides quickly escalated from technical silencing to a battle of public opinion.

Ali published a lengthy article through official channels, listing numerous examples of WeChat restricting third-party platforms and emphasizing that "an open ecosystem is in the best interests of users."

Tencent responded that "the blocking is to maintain platform order and prevent users from being harassed by excessive marketing," and implied that Taobao had repeatedly bypassed WeChat rules to push marketing information.

The 'TA Battle' has officially begun!
Chen Yansen, on the other hand, remained aloof, busy signing equity transfer agreements with Nvidia and large-scale procurement agreements with Tesla.

The two contracts together could bring Senlian Capital a potential profit of $200 billion.

In addition, Chen Yansen presented Tiangong Technology's latest achievement in GPU design—the Xuanshu architecture.

Simulation tests show that this architecture has significant improvements in performance, energy efficiency, and programmability.

Its performance far surpasses Nvidia's Kepler architecture!

Seeing this, Huang Renxun offered to buy the patent, but Chen Yansen refused.

The core technologies of a GPU are concentrated in architecture design, general computing, and multi-threading optimization. If all of them are developed in-house, it would take at least 16 to 24 months of technical accumulation.

Therefore, Chen Yansen proposed the Xuanshu architecture in order to facilitate cross-licensing of patents, accelerate the development of the Tiangong A100 chip, and expedite its tape-out phase.

Huang Renxun did not agree immediately, but instead prepared to conduct in-depth testing of the practicality of the Xuanshu architecture. If it could create enough value for NVIDIA, it would be worthwhile to contribute some of the CUDA general computing technology or PureVideo rendering technology.

Chen Yansen cast his bait and waited for the big fish to bite.

As for whether Huang Renxun will eventually agree, frankly, he doesn't really care.

Nvidia is the best option, but not the only option.

If Nvidia refuses to cooperate, AMD is still an alternative.

In any case, he only needs two years to accumulate patents to completely leave Nvidia, AMD and Intel behind and establish his own unique technological barrier in the GPU field.

By then, both the speed of architecture design iteration and the energy efficiency of chip performance will create a generational advantage.

At that time, it won't be him begging others to cooperate; instead, these industry giants will have to rely on his patent licenses.

After Chen Yansen finished talking with Huang Renxun, he glanced at the time and was just about to leave work when Ge Yue, the head of Apple's Asia region, called again.
