I Found A Planet

late October.

Four months have passed since the release of the "Xinghai II" computer.

Regarding the sales volume of this computer, Li Yuanliang, the manager of the marketing department, reported to him:

"Mr. Chen, now in the personal computer market, Xinghai computers account for 60% of the newly added market. Traditional computers have been beaten steadily, and even Microsoft has been forced to lower the price of genuine operating systems. Only 50 yuan can be used. Get the original version."

"But it is still useless. Compared with our Xuanyuan operating system, the Windows system is not competitive and is being eliminated by the market. After all, they are not only expensive, have many backdoors and loopholes, and the experience is not as good as ours. Consumers know how to choose .”

Chen Jin glanced at him: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I'm asking about the sales of Xinghai Computer, why are you talking so much nonsense."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Li Yuanliang restrained his smile and said: "According to the data submitted by agents at all levels, the current shipments of Xinghai computers are 6.5 million units, including 3 million Xinghai 1st generation and 3.5 million Xinghai 2nd generation. In addition, desktops account for about 60%. Laptops account for 40%."

"However, the sales of these millions of Xinghai computers are not equal to the revenue of our Xinghai Technology. We only sell the core CPU. Because of the large purchase volume of downstream manufacturers and the online ordering of the majority of DIY players, our company's CPU shipments totaled 10 million units."

"The average selling price of each CPU is 1,800 yuan, which has brought a total of 18 billion in revenue to the company, and the profit is about 10 billion."

The processor market is huge.

Because in addition to personal computers needing to be equipped with CPUs, large servers, supercomputers, professional workstations, advanced military equipment... and other fields all use processors.

In the country Z market alone, the annual processor sales are more than 100 billion.

If Xinghai Science and Technology eats up all of this market!

It can create hundreds of billions of revenue and more than 50 billion profits every year.

It can be said that Xinghai Technology has another big gold mine.

but……

Xinghai Technology's revenue this year is not very optimistic!

Compared with last year, there is even a clear trend of decline and shrinkage.

Li Yuanliang said worriedly: "Mr. Chen, the company's revenue this year may drop by more than 30% compared to last year."

"The market for sweeping robots is basically saturated, and the sales of Wawa robots have dropped by more than 40% compared with last year."

"Medical robots are also not easy to sell. Several products with similar functions and cheaper prices have appeared in the market, which has caused our sales to drop by 50%."

"Not to mention smart learning machines, which are the main force of the company's revenue. Last year's shipments were close to 100 million units, almost one for every student. This year's demand is not enough, and the shipment volume is less than 30 million units. Next year's shipments are likely to be even less."

"In addition, the company has launched several industrial robot products this year, and domestic factories have purchased them one after another. The sales volume is not bad, and it has achieved a revenue of about 10 billion."

"Coupled with the CPU installed in the Xinghai computer, it has also become a profit growth point for the company's outstanding performance."

"But even so, it still can't resist the trend of declining revenue."

"Of course, the company's software products such as work assistants, virtual factories, special effects engines, and game engines are performing well. This year's revenue is expected to exceed 150 billion, an increase of 80% from last year. After the alliance', money is spent like water, and the profit speed of software products cannot keep up with the company's money burning speed...and this money will be burned for one to two years, offsetting the profit of software products."

"So, not only will the company's revenue drop sharply this year, but the company's profits will also drop sharply, and the financial statements may not look very good."

Fortunately, Xinghai Technology is not a listed company. If shareholders see Xinghai Technology's revenue plummeting by 30% and profits plummeting by 50%, and they come up with a rather ugly report, they may sell their stocks immediately, causing a wave of plummeting.

But this is the law of the real economy.

Especially for hardware products, no matter how big your market is, there will always be a day when it reaches saturation, and the huge stock will limit your increment...somewhat similar to the growth curve of biology.

There will be fewer and fewer cakes to divide.

Not to mention that no company can get rid of this rule, including Xinghai Technology.

Therefore, the company's revenue decline and profit decline are things that will happen sooner or later.

The reason why many well-known and well-known companies that were once all-powerful and famous have declined and disappeared is not because they did not work hard enough, but because of the laws of the market.

Especially in the field of cutting-edge technology, those old companies known as "century brands" have really survived for more than 100 years, which can be said to be very few.

Chen Jin had long anticipated this day.

He also has sufficient countermeasures to effectively curb the declining trend of Xinghai Technology's revenue... to maintain an annual revenue of over one trillion yuan.

After all, Xinghai Technology has only been established for a little over four years, and it is impossible for him to accept that it has entered a downward trajectory so quickly.

For at least twenty years, he will keep Xinghai Technology in a thriving state.

How dare he say such a thing?

Big move.

The big move that is constantly released.

Constantly bring new profit growth points to Xinghai Technology, and never stop the pace of innovation.

For example, recently, Xinghai Science and Technology's new material research department has made a major breakthrough, conquered a new material technology, and entered the "free application era" of this material.

Graphene.

This material is graphene, which does not sound very new.

meeting room.

In remote video call.

Tang Shengwu, who is in charge of the "Graphene" project, reported their results with great excitement:

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ling, and other leaders, we have completely broken through the graphene production technology."

"Whether it is single-layer graphene, double-layer graphene, few-layer graphene or multi-layer graphene, or even shaped graphene, football ene, any carbon atom structure, we can achieve production and mass production."

"And the production cost is not high, reaching the standard from the laboratory to full commercial use."

"Our research center can be said to be the first institution to reach this level. It is the first to enter the free kingdom of the graphene field. There is no graphene product we want to produce that we cannot produce."

"Our research center will bring this planet into the era of 'graphene' material!"

Tang Shengwu's words were not exaggerated at all.

Graphene is the thinnest but also the hardest nanomaterial in the world. It is almost completely transparent, absorbing only 2.3% of light, and its thermal conductivity is as high as 5300 W/m K, which is higher than that of carbon nanotubes and diamonds. The mobility exceeds 15000 cm2/V·s, which is higher than carbon nanotubes or silicon crystals, while the resistivity is only about 10-6 Ω·cm, which is lower than copper or silver.

Due to these excellent physical properties, graphene has extremely broad and bright application prospects.

Like building the next generation of computers. Graphene is the material with the best electrical conductivity known so far. This characteristic is especially suitable for high-frequency circuits. Graphene will be a substitute for silicon and can be used to produce future supercomputers, making computers run faster and consume less energy. .

Cables used to make "space elevators". Scientists imagine that space satellites will be connected to the ground with cables in the future, and then the satellites will become wired kites. Now scientists have finally found a special material that can make such space cables, which is graphene.

It can also be used as liquid crystal display material. Graphene is a "transparent" conductor that can be used to replace current liquid crystal display materials and be used to produce displays for next-generation computers, televisions, and mobile phones.

Manufacturing a new generation of solar cells. Graphene transparent conductive film is highly transparent to all infrared rays including mid-to-far infrared rays, and is the most ideal material for a new generation of solar cells with very high conversion efficiency.

Manufacture of medical disinfectants and food packaging. The researchers found that bacterial cells cannot grow on graphene, while human cells are not damaged. This property of graphene can be used to make bandages, food packaging, antibacterial clothing, bedding, etc.

Create "new super strong materials". Combining graphene with plastics can rely on toughness, and has the characteristics of ultra-thin, ultra-soft and ultra-light. It is the next generation of new plastics.

And graphene is suitable for making transparent touch screens, light-transmitting panels, photodetectors, etc.

It is extremely versatile.

It can be called the material that set off a technological revolution.

However, graphene has not been fully promoted due to reasons such as difficulty in preparation and high production costs.

Now, Xinghai Technology's R\u0026D personnel have completely cleared these obstacles.

A new era is coming.

Ma Dan, I was just startled
