After waiting for three days, Lorraine still hasn't upgraded. From a level 0 base to a level 19 base, 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are needed. In fact, these electricity are not expensive, only 0 million yuan, but if you want to steal so much electricity, you won't be able to use it. convenient.
Huang Xuan made too many demands and used a lot of energy. He didn't feel it on weekdays, but when he needed to use a huge amount of energy, he was suddenly stretched.
It's like many working-class families. It's not impossible to buy beautiful clothes and eat in hotels. Their daily life is pretty good, but if you ask them to buy a house or a car, they won't be able to afford it.
Huang Xuan is actually a working-class traveler now, an 18th-level traveler, and is about to step out of the boundary of low-level travelers. He also has a base of his own, which is said to be more nourishing than many high-level travelers. But compared to his strength, the energy that people can apply for in a high-level base can re-create Lorraine and Nick using atomic structures, and 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. , that is the 5 Universal Circle. In the R plane, I dare not say that I am rich.
For Lorraine, base security is the first order requirement. Zhinao would not do such a mindless thing by violating the first order requirement in order to upgrade - even though he has no brains in the first place. Although Huang Xuan was a little regretful, he still wanted to comfort Lorraine: When the oil arrives at the port, we will drink it directly. Who will not let us drink it? , drank the oil himself.
Lorraine actually doesn't matter. He is just a wise man. Upgrading is the best. If you don't upgrade, forget about it. Everything should be done according to the sequence of the base. Gaining Dunton is an important factor to ensure the safety of the base. If you can earn Dunton, you can postpone the upgrade. He didn't need Huang Xuan's comfort. If upgrading the base level was the first sequence, he would have run out of electricity in Brazil, and Huang Xuanquan would be useless.
Huang Xuanyi comforted him, but Lorraine's comfort had no effect. Nick was jealous and said that I also want to upgrade. I just need to prepare the materials and rebuild a level 17 or 16 base, and then the upgrade will be considered successful.
This is also a plane base, a plane base with personality. Huang Xuan had no choice but to listen to the string of numbers and agreed: "How about you wait until we have so much energy and then notify me? "
Nick stupidly agreed. He didn't understand that "notify me" was nonsense.
After settling the energy issue, Modesto also called with a tired voice. If it was a video call, you could still see the two dark circles under his eyes as big as his eyes, and he said directly, "Everything is ready." "
Huang Xuan thanked him for his hard work and said, "Send the supplies to the last few warehouses."
Modesto has indeed worked hard. He can be considered a local leader in Sao Paulo, but he is also familiar with the transportation industry. Now he is asked to shop around and engage in import and export trade. Thanks to the many people he knows, many of them are in the import and export trade. He also had sufficient funds, but even so, this variety of projects was too much for him to deal with.
However, Modesto feels quite happy to be recognized by BOSS. Cabrese is now a wholly-owned subsidiary, while Hexin Industrial is the core group. Being a senior executive in the group and the president of a subsidiary have completely different benefits and rights.
He can also see some of Huang Xuan's thoughts. The current first vice president of Hexin Industrial is Zhang Rong, who is considered a veteran. Yu Tingli is also a veteran, but he is neither liked by the president nor valued by Zhang Rong. It's like a wood carving and stone sculpture, but the rest was almost all brought out by Zhang Rong.
It can be seen from the establishment of the Chinese branch that although the boss is young, he is proficient in personnel. Almost all the senior executives in the new company are promoted newcomers. Even those transferred from the headquarters are also the original middle-level cadres. In the case of Modis Looking at it specifically, Zhang Rong should also understand what BOSS is thinking.
This is a conspiracy, Zhang Rong understands it, and still wants to cooperate.
Because of this, Modesto desperately raised supplies. He wanted to be the first executive designated by his boss to join Hexin Industrial. This is equivalent to the second generation of veterans.
Modesto was making his own plans, while Huang Xuan was busy stealing his own things.
Most of the designated warehouses were purchased by Huang Xuan later. They were either on the edge of the port or far away from the highway entrance and exit, so that it would not be easy for others to see them when picking them up.
10,000 tons of grain is actually easy to conceal, and 500,000 tons of grain is not impossible. But this is a cattle, a sheep, and a large-scale diarrhea animal. If you want to steal it, you are not an alien. Really It can't be done - if any logistics company can transport 00,000 livestock in one night without using more than a battalion of teams, this is almost the No. 1 logistics company.
So Huang Xuan simply made a very ambiguous phone call to Modesto and said: "I have to transport things recently, so please leave it alone and everyone should withdraw."
Then he went to the storage center alone.
Modesty covered his mouth tightly. He was a company executive and knew Huang Xuan's background. As long as he looked at Huang Xuan's grandfather, mother, uncle, and a large number of cousins, he would understand that the Huang family It has nothing to do with the Chinese government.
In fact, he had already made such a guess. Why would a normal person buy 500,000 tons of grain if he had nothing to do? There are so many livestock. Only the government, out of data or practical considerations, would purchase some scarce supplies. He would not think that Huang Xuan was a spy because of this. No matter from the perspective of assets or family background, a billionaire could become a spy. It can only be an occasional part-time job, just like Mobil will collect some information for the US government, and Microsoft will provide some secret intelligence to the Pentagon. It is a normal behavior of a large multinational company. Only in this way can it be able to do it for a long time.
There are so many companies with government backgrounds. Modeste has no impression of China. It’s like China’s feeling of Equatorial Guinea. He just heard about it. He feels that Brazil and China don’t have a strong relationship, and the boss is generous. He agreed to re-sign with him, so there were some things that Quan pretended he didn't know.
Doesn’t it mean that only those who share secrets are trusted? Modesto felt that he could still work for another twenty years, and being a confidant would be a good way to get promoted.
Huang Xuan and Dian Wei spent a night playing with cow shit in Brazil, and finally sent 00,000 empty-bellied pigs, cattle and sheep into the plane passage. At that moment, clean clothes and fresh air made people feel happy.
After entering the plane channel, although the company's affairs have been clearly explained, Huang Xuan also answered a phone call. It was Weibel, CEO of SINGULUS Company. This phone call was related to the email the day before, but it had nothing to do with it.
As mentioned before, SINGULUS Company is very determined to develop this single-sided double-layer BD production line in three or two months. But if it is given to other companies and given this technology, it can be produced in three or two months. There are not many prototypes. So, the priorities are reversed.
Another more important point is that a single-sided double-layer BD is 50G, and a single-sided single-layer BD is 5G. However, the price of the former is twice that of the latter, which means that it is not cost-effective.
Nowadays, BD is mainly used to press films for Hollywood. This involves businessmen, and the cost factor is very important. For today's people, using two single-sided single-layer BD discs may be better than using one single-sided BD disc. Double-layer BD disc, even more happy.
This is why the single-sided double-layer technology is not complicated, but SINGULUS is not in a hurry to research it.
If it is really necessary, three or two months is nothing.
But now, doesn't Huang Xuan really want it
Therefore, Weibel's call came because of the email, but not because of the email. He is interested in the company Hexin and Huang Xuan.
The so-called interlacing is like a mountain. In terms of optical storage, SINGULUS is the absolute leader, and OERLIKON can rank in the top three. This is the so-called leading enterprise. There are no two companies in the world, or to be more precise, there is no one in the world. The SINGULUS company, the ball that is stored in light, just doesn't spin.
Whether it's BD, HD or DVD, it doesn't matter what it is. You can find a copycat factory in China and you can press it, but you have to ask it to produce a production line. Let alone China, the whole world is like this. Two or three companies. Therefore, Sony is now the grandson of SINGULUS, and SINGULUS is still the boss of Toshiba. Japanese manufacturers, shouting that I am not him, turn their heads to Singulus, that is, they blink their eyes, pretending that they do not know this. matter.
However, Huang Xuan came up with a single-sided double-layer technology, and Weibel became interested. He was born with a technical background, just like most technical manufacturers, such a CEO can sensitively discover even technical flaws. A slight change, although a bit behind in marketing. However, for them, marketing is secondary. Who has seen IBM roaring and running around the world? But IBM never sleeps either.
Looking at this email, Weibel was worried and excited at the same time. The excitement is the excitement of a technician. This is a world-leading technology. Although many people have studied it, it is precisely because of the people who studied it. It is not easy to be able to advance even a little bit ahead of time.
The worry is the worry of the CEO. Now, again, SINGULUS doesn’t take the single-sided double-layer technology to heart. It’s not that they really don’t take it to heart. If they can directly research it, who wouldn’t want to research it? Lock it in the safe and feel at ease. After all, it is still beyond your capabilities. There must always be priorities. They have slowed down this technology. Even if they believe that OERLIKON cannot develop it, OERLIKON cannot develop it. Even if there is no one in the world that is better than SINGULUS It's a fast company, but now, there's just one.
SINGULUS believes that as long as it has a few months and millions of dollars of investment, the single-sided double-layer technology will come naturally. But this is what SINGULUS says - the leading company in optical storage cannot be an unknown company. The most wealthy companies are from China.
Therefore, the more this happened, the more worried Weibel became. China is a big country, with the largest DVD consumption in the world. Although most of them are pirated, China also has a super low-cost industrial system. The copycat factories are also factories, and they are part of the low-cost industrial system. Abnormal manifestation, it is an unparalleled terrifying spirit. When Sony was still thinking about how to reduce the cost of DVD to 1 dollar, the Chinese were already watching pirated Korean dramas for 5 yuan a disc, and that was still the terminal price - even then DVDs will squeak after half a year of use. Even if such a DVD is uneven, you can see it with the naked eye. However, except for Sony DVDs, any player can play such a disc.
Such a low-cost industrial system, coupled with such technology, is already a very scary thing. When Weibel saw the information of Hexin Industrial, his worry turned into fear. 14 billion U.S. dollars, or 14 billion U.S. dollars, are still in urgent need of use. Hot money, any manager will tremble unconsciously as long as he reads this word. Come to think of it, IBM is no exception.
In this way, Weibel called Huang Xuan instead of delaying it for a week and a half as usual. He felt that instead of being secretive, it would be better to cooperate happily. SINGULUS is the leader of optical storage, but not the leader of the world. And it seems that Hexin Industrial also hopes to cooperate. Mechanical production is a relatively closed system, and it is also a system with huge investment. , such a system has its own inertia.
Huang Xuan did think so, so when Lorraine said there was a phone call from the CEO of SINGULUS Company, he ignored the fact that he was in the plane channel and used the electricity bill of 10 US dollars per minute to connect Weibel.
"Mr. Huang, I've heard of him for a long time." This was Weibel's first sentence. He only read Mr. Huang instead of Mr. Xuan. He was a man who had done his homework.
Huang Xuan was very happy that there was no need to introduce himself. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Weibel, I have heard a lot about you, such as the world-famous principle of relative impulse."
You should say what kind of things you want to say to someone. If someone is arty, you should talk about elegance. Some literati admire power, so you should talk about current affairs and politics with them. Some technicians become managers. However, since he still considers himself a technician, he should talk about the past with me, because a 50-year-old CEO will not come up with anything new.
This does not require education, Huang Xuan's family environment has already taught him by words and deeds.
Weibel was of course very happy, but he had something on his mind today, and in order to facilitate communication, he had a translator with him, so it was not convenient for him to speak. So after saying a few words, he said bluntly: "I have read Mr. Huang's email. It has exquisite design and perfect production process. Everything has been taken into consideration, and it is quite in line with the German industrial system. If it were not the address you left, I almost thought it was the work of some German company.”
To say this is of course not pride, but a disguised form of praise. The industrial system of each country is different, and when it comes to actual production, the industrial process should not be the same. For example, most rifles produced in China use wooden butts. This is because the technology of engineering plastics is not up to standard. Of course, when designing, we must consider that the same accessory is produced in Germany. German factories can naturally consider purchasing it. It may be cheaper and more convenient, but if it is in China, you may have to make it yourself. Imitation, specific problems, will be encountered in production, any one of which may cause an increase in costs, or even block the continuation of production.
Huang Xuan's technology comes from the SINGULUS company's technology after 2000. It is already quite mature. Of course, many of the patents in it belong to SINGULUS. This is why Weibel called eagerly. This shows that Huang Xuan does not I have no intention of starting over from scratch.
After a few polite words, Huang Xuan easily heard Weibel's urgent mood - Weibel was not prepared to hide it at all, so Huang Xuan said generously: "Mr. Weibel, in fact, this document is intended to be given to SINGULUS Company. "
What he said was very technical. He was ready to give it to him, but he hadn't yet. He would have to wait for the other party to submit the conditions in exchange. In the end, it wasn't considered a gift, but it sounded much better. Lorraine's translation was extremely accurate. If an individual could charge 000 yuan per hour for such a translation, he would dare to say: It's cheap.
Weibel heard clearly, turned around in his mind, and asked, "What does Mr. Huang mean?"
"I want to order a batch of production lines from SINGULUS Company. I am planning to produce BD discs recently, but now it seems that your company's production capacity is still insufficient. Therefore, my idea is to monopolize the production lines for the next three years."
Of course, the production capacity will be insufficient. Now is the time when BD has just started to develop. Earlier this year, SINGULUS just released the first prototype. From a high-similarity perspective, in the next year, their annual production line sales will be, It is only about 17 units, and it will take four years for the production capacity to increase to 7 units.
Of course, at the same time, SINGULUS is still producing HD production lines for Toshiba. Wonderful world.
Weibel was a little surprised. He knew that Huang Xuan's request was not small, but he didn't expect it to be so weird. With SINGULUS's current production capacity, if it gets an exclusive contract, it would be no problem to produce 0 units a year, which would be 80 million US dollars. There may be more orders, plus technical support, it can be said to be a big order, but so many production lines seem to have overcapacity for Hexin.
Of course, Mr. CEO couldn't ask this directly, so he had to indirectly say: "Mr. Huang, you know, we have a cooperation agreement with Sony, and the prototype is also produced in cooperation with Sony. It is impossible to issue an exclusive contract."
"If Sony wants it, of course we can give it to them, but it must be in addition to meeting my requirements. If I know well, Sony should only need three production lines, right?"
This was already considered confidential information. Weibel was silent for a while. Huang Xuan laughed twice, which made the Germans confused, and then said: "Mr. Weibel, my subordinate, Hexin Industrial China Branch" The company's production director, Mr. Wang Hao, will visit your company for inspection. I hope you will receive him during the introduction. He will represent me for the specific contract. "
There was no need to make an immediate decision, so Weibel laughed. As for the previous gift, neither of them seemed to have heard of it.
