I can see the commodity price curve

As aerospace companies purchased large quantities of solar panels for space applications developed by Zhang Yue's company, Zhang Yue's reputation soared like a rocket.

It has not only become an undisputed benchmark enterprise in the domestic solar energy industry, but has also attracted much attention in the international market.

Many large international energy companies and research institutions have sent cooperation invitations, hoping to jointly conduct research and development on solar energy-related projects with Zhang Yue Company.

That day, Zhang Yue was in his office discussing with his team how to further expand into the international market when his secretary excitedly knocked on the door and entered:
"Mr. Zhang, a well-known international new energy investment group has sent an invitation to you to attend their Global New Energy Summit."

He also delivered a keynote speech at the conference, sharing our company's R&D experience and achievements.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up; this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to showcase the company's strength to the world.

He immediately agreed and began to carefully prepare the speech with his team.

At the Global New Energy Summit, Zhang Yue, dressed in a sharp suit, confidently walked onto the stage.

He delivered a detailed account of the company's remarkable achievements from its inception to the present day, using fluent and engaging language, with a focus on sharing the research and development process and technological breakthroughs of the space-use solar panels.

The audience listened with great interest, frequently bursting into enthusiastic applause.

After the speech, many attendees gathered around Zhang Yue to chat.

Among them, Henry, an executive from a European energy company, showed great interest in Zhang Yue's technology.

He said sincerely, "Mr. Zhang, your speech was wonderful."

Our company has been looking for advanced and reliable solar energy technology partners, and I believe your company perfectly meets our requirements.

We hope to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with your company to jointly promote high-performance solar energy products in the European market.

Zhang Yue smiled and shook hands with Henry: "Mr. Henry, thank you very much for your recognition."

We also look forward to cooperating with your company to bring our technology to the European market and contribute to Europe's energy transition.

After a period of in-depth negotiations, Zhang Yue's company and Henry's company reached a cooperation agreement.

The two parties decided to jointly establish a joint venture to set up a production base in Europe, specializing in the production of solar energy products that meet the needs of the European market.

However, the road to cooperation was not smooth sailing.

During the preparation of the joint venture, cultural differences and differing business philosophies led to some conflicts.

European teams emphasize processes and standards, and every decision requires multiple levels of approval and review.

Zhang Yue's team, on the other hand, emphasizes efficiency and innovation, and is accustomed to making quick decisions and making flexible adjustments.

This led to disagreements between the two sides on the progress of some projects, which temporarily affected the schedule.

Wang Duo said to Zhang Yue with some anxiety, "Mr. Zhang, this European team is too conservative. If they follow their methods, we don't know when our project will be completed."

Zhang Yue remained calm: "We need to understand cultural differences and different business philosophies."

In particular, we shouldn't force them to do things our way, but rather find a balance that ensures both project quality and standardization while also improving efficiency.

Therefore, Zhang Yue took the initiative to communicate with the European team and organized several cross-cultural exchange activities.

He introduced the innovative spirit and efficient execution of Chinese companies to the European team, while also listening carefully to their views on process standardization.

After continuous adjustments and negotiations, both parties finally found an operating model suitable for the joint venture.

They developed a workflow that both complies with European market standards and ensures efficient project progress.

With the successful operation of the joint venture, Zhang Yue's solar energy products quickly gained traction in the European market.

Thanks to its superior performance and reliable quality, the product has received widespread praise from European consumers.

Orders poured in like snowflakes, and the joint venture's production scale continued to expand.

As Zhang Yue's company achieved great success in the European market, the news quickly reached the headquarters of the American Aerospace Group across the ocean.

Group President James paced back and forth in the conference room, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

He slammed his hand on the table and roared at his group of senior executives:
"This Zhang Yue company from China dares to steal our business on our turf and cooperate so closely with European companies. This is simply a provocation against us!"

We must take action to reclaim the lost market share!

A senior executive in charge of market analysis cautiously said, "President, Zhang Yue's company's space solar panel technology is indeed advanced, and the price is reasonable."

Which European companies would choose to cooperate with them?

We've always kept our latest technology secret, but if we want to regain market share, we have no choice but to release our latest solar energy technology.

James narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then sneered, "Okay, let's do it this way!"
We must immediately prepare technical data and contact the European energy companies with which we have close ties.

Tell them we have more advanced and efficient solar energy technology, and we are willing to cooperate with them, offering reasonable price discounts.

Soon, the American Space Group unleashed a "technology storm" in Europe.

They held a high-profile technology launch event, inviting executives from numerous European energy companies to attend.

At the press conference, James himself went on stage and proudly demonstrated their latest solar energy technology.

The technology claims to increase solar energy conversion efficiency to unprecedented levels, while also offering a longer lifespan and lower cost.

The European business executives in the audience all showed expressions of surprise and excitement.

Henry was among them. He looked at the presentation on stage, his brow furrowed slightly, and he pondered to himself:

"The fact that the American Aerospace Corporation has suddenly come up with such advanced technology is really troublesome for Zhang Yue's company."

After the press conference, Henry immediately contacted Zhang Yue, his tone tinged with worry:
"Mr. Zhang, the American Aerospace Group has come up with a very advanced solar energy technology, which is being vigorously promoted in Europe, and many companies have been attracted to it."

This could have a significant impact on our cooperation. What are your plans?

Zhang Yue was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said firmly, "Mr. Henry, don't worry."

Our company's technology is not to be underestimated; if they can come up with new technologies, we can continue to innovate as well.

Give me some time, and I will show you our greater strength.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue immediately convened an emergency meeting with the company's core R&D team.

He said with a serious expression, "The American Space Group has challenged us; they want to use new technologies to steal our market share."

We cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise; we must accelerate our research and development efforts and launch even more advanced products!

Dr. Li, the head of the R&D team, adjusted his glasses and said confidently:
"Mr. Zhang, we have been conducting technology reserves and research and development, and we have some new ideas and solutions.

Now that we've reached a critical juncture, let's go all out and strive to achieve a breakthrough in the shortest possible time.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yue's company's R&D team worked day and night in the laboratory.

They constantly experimented with new materials and processes, conducting countless experiments and tests.

Zhang Yue also frequently visits the lab to see everyone and encourage them.

Meanwhile, the American Space Group was not idle.

On the one hand, they continue to vigorously promote their new technologies in the European market and sign cooperation agreements with European companies.

On the other hand, they also sent industrial spies to try to steal Zhang Yue's company's research and development secrets.

One evening, Zhang Yue was in his office thinking about research and development progress and market strategy when he suddenly received a call from the security guard:
"Mr. Zhang, we have discovered several suspicious individuals loitering near the company. Their behavior is highly suspicious, and we suspect they may be corporate spies."

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "Call the police immediately, and strengthen the company's security measures. We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

The police arrived quickly and took the suspicious individuals away for investigation.

Although no substantial losses were incurred this time, Zhang Yue knew that the American Aerospace Group would not let them off easily, and the competition in the future would be even more intense.

After several months of hard work, Zhang Yue's company's R&D team finally achieved a major breakthrough.

They have successfully developed a new type of solar panel.

This solar panel not only has a higher conversion efficiency than the US space agency's technology, but it is also lighter, thinner, more durable, and cheaper.

Zhang Yue was thrilled and immediately arranged a press conference, inviting media and energy company representatives from all over the world to attend.

At the press conference, Zhang Yue personally took the stage to give a detailed introduction to the technical features and advantages of the new solar panels.

He said passionately, "Our Zhangyue Company has always been committed to the innovation and development of solar energy technology. Today, we are showcasing our latest achievements to the world."

This technology will completely transform the solar energy industry and make a greater contribution to the global energy transition!

The media reporters in the audience took photos and recorded the scene, while the energy company representatives showed expressions of amazement and admiration.

Henry clapped excitedly from the audience, knowing that Zhang Yue's company had once again proven its strength.

Following the press conference, Zhang Yue's new solar panels quickly attracted the attention of the global energy market.

Many European companies that had previously signed cooperation agreements with American Space Group have expressed their willingness to reconsider their partners and cooperate with Zhang Yue's company.

James was furious when he heard the news.

He roared at his men, "How is this possible? How could they develop more advanced technology in such a short time?"
Keep thinking of ways to stop them!

However, the market situation has changed dramatically by this time.

Zhangyue Company has rapidly expanded its market share in Europe by leveraging the advantages of its new type of solar panels, and has begun to expand into other regions.

Although the American Aerospace Group attempted to fight back again, it could no longer stop Zhang Yue's company from moving forward.

As Zhang Yue's new solar panels have made significant inroads into the global market, the company's cash flow has become increasingly abundant.

Looking at the ever-increasing numbers on the financial statements, Zhang Yue had a bold idea.

He convened the company's senior management and aerospace experts, and solemnly stated in the conference room:

"Now that we have sufficient energy support, I want to promote an unprecedented project—to build a comprehensive information system to achieve global signal coverage without dead zones."

This will bring revolutionary changes to space exploration, global communications, and other areas.

A senior aerospace expert frowned and said with concern, "This idea is indeed very ambitious, but it is extremely difficult to realize."

Achieving seamless global signal coverage requires a large number of satellite networks, not to mention the technical challenges involved.

The financial investment is astronomical, and there's also the challenge of navigating complex international competition for space resources and policy restrictions.

Zhang Yue responded firmly: "I understand that there are many difficulties, but we cannot give up moving forward just because we are afraid of difficulties."

The new solar panels provide us with a stable energy and financial guarantee, which is the foundation for achieving this goal.

We can first assemble a dedicated team to conduct preliminary technical research and planning.

With Zhang Yue's insistence, a special task force was quickly established.

The team members worked day and night, researching materials, conducting simulation experiments, and exchanging and collaborating with research institutions around the world.

After months of effort, they finally came up with a preliminary plan.

Looking at the plan, Zhang Yue said excitedly, "This plan is very forward-thinking, but it is not perfect yet."

We need to consider various unforeseen circumstances and potential risks, such as satellite malfunctions and collisions with space debris.

Next, we need to further optimize the plan to ensure the project's feasibility and stability.

Just as the special project team was working diligently to finalize the plan, the American Aerospace Group learned of Zhang Yue's company's plans. James sneered in his office and said to his subordinates, "They really are restless, actually trying to achieve global, seamless signal coverage."

This is undoubtedly a challenge to our hegemony in the field of aerospace communications.

We cannot let them succeed; we must do everything in our power to thwart their plans.

American Space Group has begun spreading rumors internationally, claiming that Zhang Yue's company's project will cause serious damage to the space environment and threaten the space security of other countries.

Some countries, unaware of the facts, began to question and express concern about Zhang Yue's project, with some even stating they would restrict Zhang Yue's satellite launches from their airspace.

Upon learning this news, Henry immediately contacted Zhang Yue: "Mr. Zhang, there are a lot of negative comments about your project, which is greatly affecting its progress."

How do you plan to deal with this?

Zhang Yue calmly said, "Mr. Henry, thank you for reminding me."

We have nothing to fear if we are upright. These rumors are fabricated by the American space agency to stop us.

We will hold a press conference to announce the project's details and security measures to the world, using facts to dispel rumors.

Soon after, Zhang Yue's company held a grand press conference.

Standing on the podium, Zhang Yue gave a detailed presentation on the project's planning, technical principles, and safety measures.

He presented a series of data and simulation results to prove that the project would not damage the space environment or threaten the space security of other countries.

A foreign journalist asked, "Mr. Zhang, even if there is no problem with the project itself..."

But how can the stability and comprehensive coverage of such a large-scale satellite network be guaranteed?

Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "We have adopted advanced satellite communication technology and intelligent scheduling system."

It can adjust the satellite's operating status in real time according to the needs and signal strength of different regions.

At the same time, we have also collaborated with multiple research institutions around the world to establish ground monitoring stations.

Real-time monitoring and feedback of satellite operation and signal coverage ensure the stability and reliability of global signal coverage without blind spots.

After the press conference, public opinion gradually calmed down, and many countries expressed their support and recognition for Zhang Yue's company's project.

However, the American Space Corporation did not give up.

James sat in his luxurious office, a sly glint in his eyes, and said to the public relations manager beside him:
"We can't just watch Zhang Yue get cocky; we have to teach him a lesson."

"Make arrangements to find a few media outlets with which we have good relations and have them widely publicize that Zhang Yue's company's products are completely useless and are all just hype."

The public relations manager nodded quickly: "President, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."

However, relying solely on media reports might not be enough; we need a more direct approach.

James's eyes lit up: "You're right. Here's what we'll do: you arrange for a cargo ship to cross the Pacific Ocean and broadcast the signal status live the whole way."

If the signal is bad, it just proves their product is no good.

Soon, the live broadcast event meticulously planned by the American Aerospace Group began.

In the live broadcast, the massive cargo ship slowly sailed out of the port, its hull gleaming with metallic luster under the sunlight.

On the deck of the cargo ship, staff from the American Aerospace Group were busy setting up various live streaming equipment.

As the camera pans across their faces, you can see the seemingly serious expressions that actually conceal a cunning glint.

As the cargo ship gradually moved away from the coastline and entered the vast Pacific Ocean, the live broadcast officially entered a crucial stage.

The host stood on the deck, speaking to the camera with feigned composure:
"Dear viewers, we have now arrived at the vast Pacific Ocean."

Next, we will conduct a full test of the actual effectiveness of the product that Zhang Yue's company claims can achieve global signal coverage without dead zones.

The camera then switches to signal receiving equipment installed throughout the cargo ship, where staff members are intently watching the indicator lights and displays, recording data from time to time.

Initially, in the waters closer to the coastline, the signal was relatively stable, with the signal strength indicator on the screen fluctuating slightly in the green area.

The staff of the American Space Agency remained outwardly calm, but they had already begun to whisper among themselves.

"Hmph, this is just the beginning. Let's see how stable their signal is when we get to a more distant place."

"One of the staff members said in a low voice, his eyes revealing disdain."

As the cargo ship continued deeper into the Pacific Ocean, the waves gradually grew larger.

The cargo ship was tossed about in the waves, and the equipment on the deck swayed along with it.

At this moment, the indicator light on the signal receiving device begins to flash intermittently.

The signal strength indicator on the display screen also fluctuated like a roller coaster, jumping to the yellow zone one moment and then falling back to the red zone the next.

Seeing this, the host smiled smugly and said loudly to the camera:

"Dear viewers, as you can see, this is the true performance of Zhang Yue's company's products."

In even slightly rough sea conditions, the signal becomes so unstable; to talk about global, seamless signal coverage is simply a huge joke!

The live broadcast was transmitted in real time via satellite to television stations and online platforms around the world, attracting widespread attention and discussion.

Many uninformed viewers began to have doubts and questions about Zhang Yue's company's project.

However, just as the staff of the American Space Corporation were basking in the joy of their impending "great victory," an accident occurred.

The signal receiving equipment on the cargo ship suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

Immediately afterwards, the signal strength indicator on the display screen dropped to zero, and all devices showed that they had lost signal.

The staff panicked and frantically checked the equipment, trying to find the problem.

"What happened? Why did the signal suddenly drop?"

The host shouted anxiously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Just then, the cargo ship's captain rushed over. Looking at the panicked crew, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"Did you tamper with the ship's communication equipment lines?"

In response to the rough sea conditions, we made some adjustments to some equipment on board, which may have inadvertently affected the equipment you were using for testing.

The crew members looked at each other, embarrassed, after hearing the captain's words.

They then realized that it was their own operational error that caused the signal interruption, rather than a problem with Zhang Yue's company's product.

The host cleared his throat awkwardly and said to the camera, "Uh... dear viewers, there was a slight mishap just now. Our equipment malfunctioned due to adjustments made on the ship."

However, this also reflects that in the complex maritime environment, signal equipment is easily affected by various factors.

But by this time, the audience no longer believed him. The comments section of the live stream was filled with mockery and skepticism.

"It turns out that I messed it up myself, and I blamed the other party's product for being bad."

"This move by the American space agency is so shameful; it's a complete farce they staged themselves."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue's company's technical team was also closely monitoring the live broadcast.

When they saw the signal being cut off on the cargo ship, the technical expert, Xiao Wang, said with a smile:

"It seems that the American space agency has shot itself in the foot this time. It made a mistake in its operation and then tried to frame us."

Zhang Yue sat calmly in his office, watching the live stream, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He had long anticipated that the American space agency would not give up and would try every means to smear their project, but he was full of confidence in his product and team.

As the cargo ship continued its voyage, the staff readjusted the equipment wiring, and the signal gradually returned.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

The wind howled, and in a moment the entire sea was filled with waves.

The cargo ship rocked violently in the surging waves, like a helpless leaf, about to be swallowed up by the raging sea at any moment.

The staff of the American Space Agency were terrified by this sudden turn of events.

They clung tightly to the stable objects around them, trying to steady themselves.

"This awful weather! How did it suddenly become so bad!" a staff member exclaimed in alarm.

The host was so frightened that his voice trembled, and he stammered to the camera:
"Dear viewers, we...we have now encountered..."

"The weather has been extremely bad, and the cargo ship's situation... is very critical..."

The cargo ship's captain quickly ran to the bridge and directed the crew to take countermeasures.

They made every effort to adjust the cargo ship's course and power, trying to avoid the huge waves.

But the gale and waves seemed to be deliberately working against them, constantly pushing the cargo ship to the brink of danger.

"Captain, this won't do! The cargo ship's stability is getting worse and worse!" a crew member said anxiously.

The captain frowned, his eyes revealing both worry and determination: "Hang in there a little longer, we must find a way to get through this!"

However, just as they were struggling to cope, a huge wave suddenly crashed down and slammed against the ship's side.

With a loud "boom," the cargo ship shook violently, and some of its equipment was scattered all over the ground.

"Oh no, the ship may be damaged!" the crew shouted in alarm.

At this moment, the signal on the cargo ship was interrupted again, and the live broadcast screen went completely black.

Viewers around the world were shocked by this breathtaking scene, and they expressed their concerns and worries in the comments section.

"I hope everyone on board is safe and sound."

"This weather is terrible, I hope the cargo ship can make it through."

Meanwhile, at Zhang Yue's company headquarters, Zhang Yue and his technical team were also watching the screen intently, their hearts filled with worry.

Although they were angry about the smear campaign by the American space agency, they were more concerned about the safety of the people on board.

"Mr. Zhang, shouldn't we contact the relevant departments to see if they can provide some assistance?" asked Xiao Wang, the technical expert, anxiously.

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Contact the maritime rescue department immediately, inform them of the cargo ship's situation, and request that they launch a rescue operation as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, the situation on the cargo ship became increasingly critical.

Seawater began to rush in through the breach in the hull, and the crew quickly organized themselves to plug the leak with sandbags and other items.

However, the seawater was rushing in too quickly, and their efforts seemed insufficient.

"Captain, the seawater is rushing in too fast, we can't hold on much longer!" the crew cried out in despair.

The captain took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Hold on!"

We have already sent out a distress signal, and rescue will arrive soon!

However, the gale and waves did not weaken because of their perseverance; on the contrary, they became more and more violent.

The cargo ship was constantly tossed and rocked by the waves, and could capsize at any moment. (End of Chapter)
