How glorious was the British Empire, the lord of the seven seas, in the past, thanks to the windmills of the First Industrial Revolution.
What followed was the Second Industrial Revolution, which started the development of electrification.
Electricity began to be used in people's lives. Lighting, telephones, and telegraphs were all invented during this period.
Although the Second Industrial Revolution did not give birth to a world hegemon, it officially ushered the world into the colonial era and completely consolidated the status of the British Empire.
The third industrial revolution was when automation began, which made industrial production more convenient.
The emergence of computers is the greatest achievement of this industrial revolution, and humans officially entered space because of this industrial revolution.
This industrial revolution established the coal family’s dominant position and once again gave birth to a world hegemon.
The reason why the Coal Family can become the world's largest company is closely related to the Third Industrial Revolution.
It was because the Coal Family grasped the Third Industrial Revolution and seized the opportunity for development that they became the new world hegemon.
It can be seen from the development of several industrial revolutions that each industrial revolution is a time of world progress and a time of change in the world pattern.
Two world hegemons have emerged because of the Industrial Revolution. The next guy who will control the world will be the one who grasps the next Industrial Revolution.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has not yet happened, and now it depends on who can seize the opportunity.
The Yan family missed the previous industrial revolutions and simply did not catch up with the opportunities for development.
Missing the opportunities of the previous industrial revolutions caused the Yan family to lag behind for a long time.
The Yan family can no longer miss the next industrial revolution and must seize this opportunity.
This industrial revolution is the best opportunity for the Yan family, an opportunity to surpass the developed Western countries.
As long as the Yan family can develop in this industrial revolution, they will be able to take the position of world hegemony and pull the Mei family down from that position.
Jiang Cheng knew that the next industrial revolution would be one related to electricity, and a fully electrified society would be the product of this industrial revolution.
This industrial revolution is the fourth industrial revolution, an industrial revolution about energy.
The development process of this industrial revolution is to completely eliminate traditional energy sources such as oil and coal.
Jiang Cheng had already experienced this industrial revolution in his previous life, so he was very clear about the development process of this industrial revolution.
Jiang Cheng has been guiding the Yan family towards the fourth industrial revolution, and the K38 battery he brought out this time is also part of the industrial revolution.
The Yan family is now on the right track. They just need to continue working hard to stay at the forefront of this industrial revolution and lead the development of human civilization as a whole.
However, it is too early to talk about the Fourth Industrial Revolution now, and there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution still requires a long period of preparation, and now is not the time to officially begin.
Jiang Cheng needs to promote the development of science and technology bit by bit until the fourth industrial revolution begins completely.
What Jiang Cheng needs to do now is to acquire an automobile manufacturing company to prepare for the next industrial revolution.
Jiang Cheng is not very good at acquisitions, and he will leave things he is not good at to professionals.
Zhang Manlin is the best at acquiring companies, so Jiang Cheng doesn't need to worry about it.
After Jiang Cheng completed all the work on the K38 battery, he came out of the laboratory.
He came to the company's headquarters building, returned to his office and informed the CEO Zhang Manlin to come see him.
Jiang Cheng sat in his office, waiting for Zhang Manlin to arrive. He sat on the chair and admired the scenery of the entire Los Angeles through the transparent wall.
In the distance, cars are flowing on the road, and countless people are busy with their own things.
The view from Jiang Cheng's office is really nice. You can see all the best scenery in Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, he rarely has the opportunity to come here, and it has basically been empty all the time. Such a beautiful scenery has gone unappreciated for a long time.
Ding Dong!
Just as Jiang Cheng was admiring the scenery of Los Angeles, a voice woke him up.
He was not at all immersed in the beautiful scenery and was not paying attention to what was happening outside.
The sound came from the elevator entrance. It must be someone taking the elevator up.
The only employee of Universe Umbrella who could come to the top floor at this time was Zhang Manlin, the company's C-EO.
Soon, a figure slowly walked out of the elevator, wearing a black professional suit.
The black professional suit highlights her mature figure, and there is an indescribable charm emanating from her.
The person who came in was indeed the company's CEO Zhang Manlin. Jiang Cheng came here specifically to discuss something with her.
It's rare, boss. I didn't expect you to come to the company to discuss something with me. I thought you really didn't care about the company anymore!"
Zhang Manlin complained to Jiang Cheng as soon as she entered the room. It seems that this CEO has a lot of resentment in his heart.
Boss Jiang Cheng really doesn't like coming to the company and we often don't see him for half a month.
The CEO thought he had met a fake boss and that he himself was a fake CEO.
Jiang Cheng became embarrassed when he heard Zhang Manlin's complaints. He really didn't want to interfere in the company's affairs, so he let Zhang Manlin develop on her own.
Among all the bosses in the company, he is probably the one who manages the company's affairs the least.
As the CEO of Yuzhou Umbrella, Zhang Manlin can fully display her talents because Jiang Cheng has delegated power to her.
But the heavy responsibility of the company fell on her shoulders alone, and most people could not stand such great pressure.
Meeting Jiang Cheng, the boss who is often away from the company, Zhang Manlin doesn't know whether she is lucky or unconscious.
However, Jiang Cheng also knew that what he did was somewhat irresponsible, so he didn't care about Zhang Manlin's complaints.
Jiang Cheng didn't talk about other things with Zhang Manlin. He went straight to the point and told her the purpose of his visit.
I'm here this time to discuss something very important with you. There is something you need to do immediately. This matter is related to the future development direction of the company. It is very important, so you must take care of it personally.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Zhang Manlin put away her joking expression and started to become serious.
There was no emotion on her face, and she looked at Jiang Cheng seriously, waiting for him to tell her his plans.
This is how Zhang Manlin is when she gets into work mode, extremely focused and serious, like two completely different people compared to her usual self.
Please take these materials away. This is a new type of battery technology information. Please take it down and take a closer look.
Jiang Cheng didn't care about Zhang Manlin's mood changes. Instead, he took out a thick stack of information and handed it to Zhang Manlin, and then continued talking to her.
