Reborn in 2012, building a new energy empire

Chapter 151 Exhibition Opening

May 28th, 9:00 AM.

At the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, dozens of entrances to the three main exhibition halls (N, W, and E) were opened simultaneously.

The crowd surged into the venue like a flood bursting its banks, carrying various languages, business cards, and commercial desires.

The air was instantly heated, filled with the smell of freshly printed ink, caffeine, perfume, and a substance called "..."

The excitement of "opportunity".

Hall W3, Booth E-72.

Among the many luxurious booths bombarded with sound, light, and electricity, Kylin Technology's booth stood out like a silent island.

The main color scheme is deep blue and silver-white, with clean and crisp lines, no flashing neon lights, and no exaggerated shapes.

On the LED screen in the center, there is only one line of simple and powerful white text: "Domestic Diamond Wire Cutting Solution - Game Changer".

Below, a high-definition video plays silently in a loop: silver diamond wires move back and forth at high speed between guide wheels, smoothly cutting into gray silicon ingots. The cut silicon wafers are as thin as cicada wings, reflecting a mirror-like blue luster under the light.

On the right side of the video, a set of core data comparison charts are displayed in real time.

In the center of the booth, two desktop demo units of "Kirin-1" were running quietly.

Inside the transparent protective shield, everything is clearly visible. An extremely fine silver wire moves at a constant speed across a fixed standard silicon block, and the coolant forms a uniform water curtain.

The cut silicon wafers were gently removed by a robotic arm and placed in a sample display rack.

The entire process was smooth, precise, and silent, yet it possessed a quiet, powerful quality.

Within half an hour of the museum opening, several groups of people were already drawn to this "quiet power" and stopped to watch.

Most of the visitors had technical backgrounds. Instead of looking at fancy brochures, they leaned close to the protective shield to observe the vibration of the lines and the flow of the coolant, and then looked up to compare the data on the screen.

Jiang Haoran stood at the side front of the booth. Today he was wearing a dark navy blue custom-made suit, a white shirt, and no tie, which made him look calm and unpretentious.

His gaze swept calmly across the crowd, occasionally meeting the eyes of interested visitors and giving them a slight nod in greeting.

Around 10 a.m., a group of five or six foreign visitors stopped in front of the booth.

The leader was a European engineer with gray hair; his name tag indicated he was from a long-established German photovoltaic equipment manufacturer.

He watched the demonstration for a while and then asked a rather technical question in English about the dynamic tension compensation mechanism of wires in high-speed reciprocating motion.

Jiang Haoran stepped forward and answered in fluent English as well.

Instead of reciting the parameters directly, he used a simple mechanical analogy to explain the principle before introducing the specific control algorithm and implementation data.

After listening, the other party seemed thoughtful and asked two more in-depth questions about the impact of different silicon material impurity contents on wire wear trends.

Jiang Haoran turned to Gu Qiushi beside him, and Gu Qiushi immediately took over the conversation, supplementing the discussion with a set of preprocessed experimental data.

The exchange lasted for more than ten minutes.

At the end, the German engineer offered his business card and pointed to the data on the screen: "Very solid work. If you can maintain this data in mass production, you will be a game-changer."

Jiang Haoran accepted the business card with both hands: "Thank you. We are working on it."

Just as the foreign team left, a slight commotion suddenly arose from the back of the crowd.

The originally dense crowd seemed to be separated by an invisible force, and a group of people walked in this direction.

A few people wearing staff badges led the way, while in the middle were several middle-aged men with a composed demeanor, wearing dark jackets, among whom was Bai Jingming.

Behind them followed reporters from several financial and industry media outlets, their camera lenses already raised.

Countless eyes were instantly drawn to it within the exhibition hall.

In a place teeming with industry giants, where everyone is pulling out all the stops to attract attention, it is big news in itself that provincial leaders are leading a delegation to visit the booth of an unremarkable new company.

Bai Jingming strolled to the Kirin Technology booth, his gaze first falling on the scrolling data on the screen, lingering for a few seconds, before looking at Jiang Haoran and extending his hand.

"President Jiang, we meet again." His voice was not loud, but clear enough.

"Leader Bai, welcome to provide guidance." Jiang Haoran stepped forward and shook hands with Bai Jingming.

He could sense that at least dozens of cameras were focused on that moment.

Bai Jingming released his hand, and without much small talk, went straight to the demo unit.

He bent down to carefully observe the cutting process, then picked up a freshly cut silicon wafer sample from the display shelf next to him and examined it under the overhead light.

"The surface finish is quite good," he commented, looking at Gu Qiushi. "It's an improvement over the batch I saw in the lab last time."

Gu Qiushi quickly replied, "Yes, we optimized the final process window, and now the stability of this batch has reached the mass production standard."

Bai Jingming nodded, turned to the leaders from the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and the Science and Technology Bureau who were accompanying him, and raised his voice to make sure everyone around could hear: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the diamond wire saw from Qilin Technology, a key domestic production benchmark project that our Southern Jiangsu Province is focusing on supporting, which I mentioned at the meeting earlier."

"Look at this, from the breakthrough in the laboratory to small-batch trial production, and now to standing on the international stage, they have taken less than a year."

He pointed to the data comparison chart on the screen: "These data have all been tested by authoritative institutions. Wire diameter uniformity, cutting life, silicon wafer quality—the key indicators have reached or even exceeded the level of similar foreign products in some aspects."

"What does this mean? It means that we finally have a self-reliant and controllable choice regarding this critical consumable that has been a bottleneck for us for many years!"

His tone was not impassioned, but his words were clear and distinct, carrying considerable weight around the quiet booth.

The accompanying leaders nodded in agreement, some leaning closer to examine the samples, others exchanging opinions in hushed tones.

The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air as cameras faithfully recorded the scene.

After hearing these words, the provincial leader looked at Jiang Haoran and praised him without reservation: "Young people have ideas and drive, and what is even more commendable is their perseverance and willingness to work hard in the laboratory and workshop."

"This spirit is exactly what our manufacturing industry needs most for transformation and upgrading!"

He paused, looked around at the growing crowd, and said in a voice that carried far: "Today, I want to make a statement. The province will continue to pay attention to and support companies like Kylin Technology that are truly engaged in core innovation and solving real pain points in the industry."

"We also hope that more peers and customers will give domestically developed new technologies and products a fair opportunity to be validated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of applause spontaneously broke out from the crowd. It wasn't a thunderous applause, but a sustained applause filled with admiration and recognition.

Many visitors who were just passing by and curiously looking around stopped and took a closer look at the previously unremarkable booth and the young person in charge.

The media's cameras were fixed on Jiang Haoran. He stood beside Bai Jingming, his posture upright and his face calm.

Faced with the sudden moment of glory and countless scrutinizing eyes, he showed no hesitation or excitement, but simply nodded slightly to the crowd of onlookers.

"Thank you for your recognition, leaders. Kylin Technology has only taken a small step." His voice came through the small loudspeaker on the booth, steady and clear.

"The real test is in the market, on our customers' production lines. We will continue to work hard to repay this trust with more stable products and better services."

The senior leader nodded in satisfaction, offered a few words of encouragement, and then led the group to the next stop.

But the crowd did not disperse immediately. On the contrary, more curious, inquisitive, and business-minded people flocked to the Kirin Technology booth.

Business cards were handed to Zhao Haichuan and Wang Qiming like snowflakes, and questions were thrown at Jiang Haoran and Gu Qiushi one after another.

The booth was instantly surrounded by a huge crowd.

While answering questions from all sides, Jiang Haoran glanced out of the corner of his eye in the direction Bai Jingming had left.

Many leaders have already joined the crowd, but the influence they bring is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that are spreading outwards in circles.

With official endorsement and authoritative backing, the effect is remarkable on a stage that brings together global industry leaders.

At this moment, the name Kirin Technology, along with the concept of "domestic diamond wire cutting solution," was forcibly etched into the cognitive map of countless attendees.

Her debut was immediately under the spotlight.

Jiang Haoran knew that this was just the beginning. The spotlight was on, and from now on, every performance would be scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

He took a deep breath, turned to face another potential customer who handed him his business card, and gave a professional and composed smile.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Haoran. How may I help you?"

Outside the exhibition hall, the May sun shone brightly in Shanghai. Inside, however, the battle for Kylin Technology had just begun.
