I can see the commodity price curve

Just as Henry was filled with despair and everyone at NA Company was in chaos.

Zhang Yue's gaze was firm, and he spoke in a steady voice:
"Mr. Henry, do you think we only have that one line of defense?"

Actually, I know that your NA company's technical strength is not to be underestimated, so I carefully set up several hidden bugs in the code.

Even if you manage to crack one of them by chance, you'll never be able to crack them all.

Henry's eyes widened as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"You...you are so cunning!"

Zhang Yue sneered and continued, "Cunning? This is just a legitimate defense against your unfair competitive practices."

Now, the facts are crystal clear: you stole our data, but because you couldn't fully master the core technology.

This is your own fault that the supercomputer has such serious problems.

The reporters below the stage instantly erupted in excitement, all pointing their cameras at Henry and bombarding him with a barrage of pointed questions.

"Mr. Henry, what is your response to Mr. Zhang's claim that multiple bugs were set in the code?"

Will this incident affect NA Company's future development?

Faced with this barrage of questions, Henry turned ashen-faced, his lips trembling, yet he could not utter a single word.

At this point, industry experts also began to express their opinions.

A senior expert said seriously, "Judging from the current situation, NA's data theft is very obvious."

Moreover, the fact that such a serious problem with the supercomputer was caused by an incomplete grasp of the technology will undoubtedly cause great damage to NA's reputation.

Another expert nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, the technology industry emphasizes independent innovation and honest business practices."

NA Company's unfair practices not only harmed the interests of other companies but also damaged the entire industry ecosystem, and must be condemned.

As the experts spoke, another murmur arose from the audience, with accusations against NA Company rising one after another.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Zhang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to his team members and said, "Everyone, get ready. Now it's our turn to show our true strength."

The team members responded in unison, "Yes, Mr. Zhang!"

Soon, the staff brought the supercomputer developed by Zhang Yue's company onto the stage.

This supercomputer has a futuristic appearance with smooth lines, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Standing in front of the supercomputer, Zhang Yue smiled and said to the audience:
"Ladies and gentlemen, next I will use our company's self-developed supercomputer to demonstrate a calculation on the principle of solar power generation."

The audience fell silent, their eyes fixed on Zhang Yue and the supercomputer.

Zhang Yue began operating the supercomputer, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, and complex calculation models and data immediately appeared on the large screen.

As the calculations proceeded, the supercomputer emitted a slight hum, as if to proclaim its powerful computing capabilities.

After a while, the supercomputer finished its calculations.

Everyone looked over immediately, and a middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, "This... isn't right?"

Zhang Yue looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Wang Duo stood up, his brows furrowed, and said loudly, "I have been working in the solar power generation industry for many years. The result you calculated is too different from the solar power generation principle that we are familiar with and use in daily life."

According to your calculation model, it's impossible to effectively convert solar energy into electrical energy. I suspect there's something wrong with your supercomputer.

Zhang Yue was slightly taken aback, then said seriously, "Our company's supercomputer has undergone countless tests and verifications, and the calculation results cannot be wrong."

This computational model is derived from rigorous scientific theory, so how could there be a problem?

Wang Duo persisted: "Scientific theory is one thing, but practical application is another."

I've seen too many cases where the theory is perfect, but it's full of flaws when applied in practice.

Your conclusion is simply unconvincing to me.

At this point, someone in the audience suggested, "Since Mr. Wang has questions, why don't we use the principle calculated by Mr. Zhang's supercomputer to build a solar panel on the spot and try it out?"

If it can successfully generate electricity, then that proves the result is correct.

This suggestion was echoed by many people: "Yes, this is a good method. Practice makes perfect, and we'll know for sure once we try it."

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone has this idea, let's give it a try."

However, manufacturing solar panels requires certain materials and equipment, which may not be readily available on-site.

Wang Duo patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of the materials and equipment."

"I have some in my warehouse. Give me an hour, and I'll have someone deliver it."

Everyone agreed, and the staff began clearing a space to prepare for the subsequent production and testing.

An hour later, Wang Duo's company's vehicle arrived on time, bringing the materials and equipment needed to make solar panels.

Li Yang, an engineer in Zhang Yue's team who is skilled in hardware manufacturing, stepped forward and said:

“I will be in charge of making the solar panels according to the calculation model. Everyone, please lend me a hand.”

The team members sprang into action and, under Li Yang's direction, began to assemble the solar panels in an orderly manner.

Wang Duo watched each step closely, occasionally asking questions, which Li Yang patiently answered.

After several hours of hard work, the solar panels were finally completed.

Everyone gathered around, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath and said, "Now, let's connect the testing equipment and see if this power generation panel can generate electricity normally."

The staff carefully connected the generator to the testing equipment, turned on the switch, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the testing instruments.

However, the pointer on the instrument remained motionless, showing no sign of generating electricity.

Wang Duo sneered: "Mr. Zhang, you see? I told you your calculation results were wrong."

Current practice has proven that the power generation panels built according to the principles calculated by your supercomputer are simply incapable of generating electricity.

Zhang Yue frowned as well. He walked to the generator board and carefully inspected every connection and component, muttering to himself:
"This can't be right, the computational model is fine, how could this happen..."

Just then, Li Yang suddenly shouted, "President Zhang, I've found the problem!"
During the manufacturing process, we set the parameters of one component according to standard specifications.

However, according to the calculation model, the parameters of this component should be adjusted to a different value.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up: "Quickly, readjust the parameters of this component."

The team members acted quickly and adjusted the component parameters.

After the adjustments were completed, the switch was turned on again, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Gradually, the pointer on the test instrument began to swing, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

"It's generating electricity! It's really generating electricity!" A cheer erupted from the crowd.

Wang Duo also showed a surprised expression. He stepped forward, carefully examined the test data, and had to admit:

"Unexpectedly, the power generation panels made according to this calculation principle can actually generate electricity."

It seems I was too hasty in my judgment, Mr. Zhang. I apologize for my previous doubts.

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, there's no need to apologize. It's good to have doubts; it helps us improve our technology."

Moreover, this experiment also demonstrated the powerful computing capabilities of our supercomputer and the accuracy of our computational model.

However, at that moment, Wang Duo suddenly froze, and then his face was filled with disbelief.

He eagerly moved closer to the testing equipment, his eyes fixed on the various data points, muttering to himself:

"This...how can the thermal efficiency be so much higher than what our company is currently using!"

Upon hearing his words, the people around him instantly erupted in a frenzy, crowding around and craning their necks to see what was going on.

The reporters below the stage were even more excited, and their cameras were all pointed at Wang Duo and the testing equipment, with flashes going off one after another.

Zhang Yue also looked surprised, quickly walked to Wang Duo's side, and asked:
"Mr. Wang, you said this thermal efficiency is much higher than what you're using now? Is this data accurate?"

Wang Duo raised his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and said:
"I've been in this industry for so many years, I'm very familiar with test data, and this data is absolutely accurate."

The principle you calculated with your supercomputer has led to the creation of a power generation panel with a thermal efficiency far exceeding current market levels—it's simply a miracle!

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Zhang, if it really has such high thermal efficiency, then the market prospects for solar panels are incredible!"

Zhang Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I didn't expect it to have this effect."

Although the supercomputer's computational model had been validated multiple times, its groundbreaking results truly exceeded my expectations.

Wang Duo patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, I have an idea."

Look, since the principles calculated by this supercomputer can produce such efficient solar panels, why not set up a company that specializes in producing these panels?

With this unique technological advantage, we can definitely capture the market quickly and become an industry leader.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes as he said, "The idea is good, but setting up a new company is no small matter."

"This involves many aspects, including funding, technology, and marketing, so I need to consider it carefully."

Seeing Zhang Yue hesitate, Wang Duo quickly added, "Mr. Zhang, you don't need to worry about funding at all."

I've accumulated some savings over the years, and I have extensive connections in the industry, so I can bring in like-minded investors.

At this moment, Li Yang from the team also stepped forward, his eyes full of anticipation, and said:
"Mr. Zhang, I think Mr. Wang's suggestion is very feasible."

It would be such a waste to keep such advanced technology hidden away.

Establishing a new company will allow our technology to be applied more widely and will also allow our team's value to be better realized.

Zhang Yue looked at Li Yang, then at Wang Duo, and slowly said, "I understand everyone's thoughts, but we can't let our guard down when it comes to market promotion."

Even with our technological advantages, market competition is fierce. Gaining consumer acceptance of our products is a significant challenge.

Wang Duo smiled confidently and said, "I have experience in marketing."

We can start by conducting pilot programs in some key areas, allowing consumers to experience firsthand the high efficiency and stability of our power generation panels.

Then, a large-scale publicity and promotion campaign will be carried out through a combination of online and offline methods.

I believe that as long as the product is good, word of mouth will naturally spread.

A young reporter in the audience couldn't help but chime in, "I also think this is a very good opportunity."

With the global push for clean energy, the market prospects for solar panels are promising.

"With such advanced technology, it would be a real shame not to seize this opportunity."

After listening to everyone's words, Zhang Yue fell into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head, his gaze firm, and said, "Okay, since everyone has such enthusiasm and confidence, let's do it. However, before we set up the company, we need to finalize a few things."

For example, clearly defining each person's rights and responsibilities is essential to ensuring the company's stable development in the future.

Wang Duo nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Zhang is right. This is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly."

We can hire a professional legal team to help develop an equity distribution plan to ensure it is fair and reasonable.

Li Yang also said, "We also need to take measures to protect our technology."

"Such advanced technology would be in serious trouble if it fell into the hands of competitors."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Li Yang has considered everything very thoroughly."

Maintaining technical confidentiality is indeed of paramount importance.

We can establish a strict technology confidentiality system to constrain and manage core technical personnel.

At the same time, safety precautions must be taken during the production process to prevent technology leaks.

At this moment, enthusiastic applause rang out again from the audience, as everyone was filled with anticipation for the soon-to-be-established new company.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Zhang Yue was filled with fighting spirit.

He turned to his team members and said, "After you go back, start preparing for the establishment of the new company."

I believe that with our joint efforts, this new company will definitely shine in the solar panel market.

Henry, standing to the side, watched the lively scene with a face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He knew that NA Company had been completely defeated in this contest, and it was almost impossible to turn the tide.

He silently turned around and led the NA company personnel away from the scene in a dejected manner.

Zhang Yue watched Henry's departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, but quickly turned his attention back to the preparations for the new company.

He told his team members, "Although we have made a technological breakthrough, there is still a long way to go before we can start a new company. We cannot afford to slack off in the slightest."

The team members nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing determination and anticipation.

Li Yang patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely oversee the hardware manufacturing process and ensure that high-quality solar panels are produced."

Other members also expressed their commitment to doing their best.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yue led his team into a busy period.

Especially Wang Duo.

During the preparations for the new company, Wang Duo seemed to have found a new direction in life, and his whole being radiated a different kind of brilliance.

That day, Zhang Yue called Wang Duo to his office and solemnly said, "Wang Duo, after this period of observation and consideration, I have decided to appoint you as the person in charge of solar panel research and development."

You are familiar with this industry and have experience; I believe you can handle it.

Wang Duo's eyes widened, filled with surprise and excitement. He stood up, his voice trembling slightly, and said:

"Mr. Zhang, you...you really trust me?"
I was just a high-level employee before, always suppressed at my previous company, with absolutely no opportunity to showcase my abilities.

Zhang Yue smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What I value is your ability and your passion for this career."

Past experiences have only served as training; now is your time to truly shine.

Wang Duo nodded heavily, his eyes slightly reddening: "President Zhang, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

I need to get the finished product out as quickly as possible so that our new company can gain a foothold in the market.

From then on, Wang Duo threw himself into research and development work.

He arrives at the lab earliest and leaves latest every day, often working tirelessly to solve a technical problem.

However, the research and development process was not smooth sailing.

That day, the atmosphere in the laboratory was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Wang Duo frowned as he looked at the failed experimental data before him, rubbing his temples vigorously with both hands.

Team member Xiao Li said dejectedly, "Brother Wang, we've tried so many times, but it still doesn't work. Is it because we're going in the wrong direction?"

Wang Duo suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing determination: "No, the direction is definitely right."

The principle calculated by Mr. Zhang's supercomputer cannot be wrong; we just haven't found the correct implementation method yet.

Xiao Li sighed helplessly: "But we have limited time and resources. If we keep dragging this out, we won't be able to hold on until the new company is even established."

Wang Duo was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand everyone's concerns."

But at my previous company, I had a lot of skills but nowhere to use them, and I had experienced that frustration and helplessness enough.

Now that we finally have this opportunity, we must make something of it.

As he spoke, Wang Duo began pacing back and forth in the laboratory, his mind racing.

Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes lit up: "I've got it!"
We've been manufacturing solar panels using conventional methods; perhaps we can try a different approach, starting with the microstructure of the materials.

The team members looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Xiao Li asked, "Brother Wang, will this work? This is quite different from what we learned before."

Wang Duo said firmly, "We'll only know if it works by trying."

At my previous company, I proposed many innovative ideas, but they were all rejected by those conservative leaders.

Now I'm going to do things my own way, and even if I fail, I'll have no regrets.

Therefore, Wang Duo led his team to try new methods.

They worked day and night in the laboratory, constantly adjusting the material ratios and manufacturing processes.

After a period of effort, the new experiment has finally made progress.

That day, Wang Duo arrived at the laboratory early as usual.

When he saw the data displayed on the testing equipment, he could hardly believe his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at it carefully again, and then shouted excitedly, "We did it! We did it!"

Hearing the shouts, the team members all gathered around. When they saw the data, they cheered excitedly.

Wang Duo immediately called Zhang Yue: "Mr. Zhang, good news!"
We have achieved a major breakthrough in the development of solar panels, with all performance indicators meeting expectations.

Zhang Yue was also very excited on the other end of the phone: "That's great! Wang Duo, you really didn't let me down. I'll come over right away."

A short while later, Zhang Yue arrived at the laboratory.

He carefully examined the experimental data and samples, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: "Fantastic!"

With this achievement, the future of our new company is bright.

Wang Duo humbly said, "Mr. Zhang, this is the result of the team's joint efforts. I just did what I should have done."

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Duo and said seriously, "I know you had a tough time at your previous company."

But things are different now. Here, you have plenty of space to showcase your talents.

I hope you can maintain this enthusiasm and drive, and lead the team to make the product even better.

Wang Duo nodded emphatically: "President Zhang, please rest assured."

I will treat this place as my career and give it my all.

Next, we need to get the finished product out as quickly as possible and begin large-scale production.

However, just as they were preparing for mass production, they encountered new problems.

The supplier suddenly informed them that there was a shortage of a critical material that could not be resolved in the short term.

Upon learning this news, Wang Duo was extremely anxious.

He immediately called a meeting with his team members: "Everyone, what should we do now?"
Without this material, our production plan will be ruined.

Xiao Li frowned and said, "How about we switch to a different material? Although the performance might be a little worse, at least we can guarantee production."

Wang Duo shook his head: "No, if we're going to do it, we should do it the best."

Changing materials would affect the quality and performance of the product, which is not what we want.

At this point, team member Xiao Zhang suggested an idea: "I've heard of an alternative material that, although not previously used on solar panels, has performance very similar to the material we need. We can give it a try."

Wang Duo's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."

But how much do we know about this material? Are there any potential problems?

Xiao Zhang said, "I checked some information and consulted some experts. In theory, this material can be used."

However, the specific effects still need to be verified through experiments.

Wang Duo pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "Okay, let's try this alternative material."

Xiao Zhang, you're in charge of contacting the supplier and getting the samples as soon as possible. Everyone else, prepare for the experiment.

In the following days, Wang Duo and his team members threw themselves into the intense experiments.

They continuously adjust process parameters and test product performance.

After numerous experiments, the optimal solution using alternative materials was finally determined.

Wang Duo breathed a sigh of relief again and said to his team members, "Thank you for your hard work."

Although we encountered many difficulties, we overcame them one by one.

Next, we need to speed up production to ensure the new company can launch its products on time.

Under Wang Duo's leadership, the team members worked together and finally completed the production within the stipulated time.

When the first batch of solar panels rolled off the production line, Wang Duo looked at these products, which embodied his hard work, and his eyes shone with pride.

He said to Zhang Yue beside him, "Mr. Zhang, we succeeded."

Although the journey has been full of hardships, I have never regretted it.

I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to realize my own value.

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Wang Duo, this is what you deserve."

Everyone has seen your hard work and dedication.

I believe that with our joint efforts, the new company will surely achieve great success in the solar panel market.

Wang Duo nodded firmly, his heart filled with anticipation for the future. (End of Chapter)
