Chapter 514: Different
Hydrogen is the element that occupies the first position in the periodic table. It has an extremely small molecular weight and is naturally easy to escape and embed into other elements, destroying the crystal structure and causing accidents. Frequent leakage accidents are one aspect, but how to prevent the occurrence of "hydrogen embrittlement" is the biggest challenge in storing and transporting hydrogen.

The biggest benefit of blending natural gas with hydrogen is that it improves utilization efficiency, optimizes energy structure, enhances supply flexibility, saves energy and reduces emissions, reduces costs, drives the development of the hydrogen energy industry, while making the most of existing conditions, making full use of existing pipelines, being compatible with existing equipment, and providing the necessary basic conditions for the promotion of natural gas-hydrogen (HCNG) mixed fuel engines.

The new type of vehicle power fuel, which combines the advantages of hydrogen's fast combustion rate, wide ignition range and high calorific value per unit volume of natural gas, has many advantages.

Similarly, if liquid ammonia energy is to give full play to its advantages, it also needs to be mixed with a portion of alcohol hydrogen fuel in order to improve power performance and combustion efficiency.

The integrated alcohol, hydrogen and ammonia, wind power, photovoltaic and new energy integrated project, attracting traditional petrochemical energy and chemical industries with the left hand and adapting to the development direction of electrification with the right hand, and constantly fine-tuning the product direction according to market development conditions, is the correct strategy for a large company like Jinxi Culture.

Once the strategic direction is correct, what remains is the specific execution, as well as investing the necessary scientific research funds, digging deep into the moat, and winning over the channel supply chain.

"From your tone, it seems that you just wanted to fill the gap in your own energy supply, but you didn't expect that the gap would widen. As a result, you simply developed it as an independent business segment? Automobiles... are just the carrier of end products, right? Are you so optimistic about new energy vehicles?"

Facing his father's inquiring gaze, Jin Shang answered calmly:
"From the perspective of market positioning, the automobile business is similar to shipbuilding and real estate. Capital and supply chain integration are, to some extent, more critical than technology. Without core technology, an assembly plant can survive by doing good product design. But without sufficient capital investment and upstream and downstream supply chain support, it will not be able to produce anything at all."

Jin Shang crossed his hands and gently supported his chin. After looking at the stage preparations in front of him, he continued to explain:

"If possible, I hope to make new energy vehicles... or more precisely, electric vehicles, move towards the path of fast-moving consumer goods. For new energy vehicles, the core competitiveness is no longer the chassis, engine and gearbox, but the refrigerator, color TV and sofa..."

"From a means of transportation and production to a household appliance, or even...consumer electronics? Is this possible? It doesn't seem very reliable..."

"It's possible! Think about the bicycles, telephones, pagers and mobile phones in the past. Are they developing into daily necessities? As the era of intelligent mobile networks approaches, this trend is irreversible. Mobile phones that used to cost tens of thousands of yuan can now be bought for two or three thousand yuan, and the price of PHS has even dropped to less than one thousand yuan. Even though a car now costs two or three hundred thousand yuan, it is possible that in the future you can buy a city car for only two or three thousand yuan. As people's income continues to rise, it is not a problem for them to save money and buy one..."

If you have a little savings, you can buy a very decent family car for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. If you spend a little more money, you can buy a very good high-end passenger car.

Moreover, cars are not just a "big item" that ordinary families have to be extremely cautious to purchase, comparable to houses, but an ordinary household consumer product that can be replaced every few years.

Instead of discussing with users which gearbox is better, which of turbocharging, supercharging or naturally aspirated is right for them, how many seconds it takes to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, how to calculate horsepower, power and torque, the optimal working range and other parameters, it is better to talk about the more intuitive refrigerated wine cabinet, refrigerator, Internet-connected TV, high-end sofa, variable glass roof, lidar and the overall central control screen to attract more attention.

Are traditional fuel vehicles unwilling to make these people-friendly improvements to better suit drivers' usage habits?

It’s impossible!

Small batteries have limited storage capacity and low voltage, so they cannot power large on-board electrical appliances at all. Only pure electric vehicles and large-battery hybrid (extended-range) vehicles have the foundation to perform various functions.

To put it bluntly, the new energy vehicles in Jin Shang's mind are very different from the cars perceived by traditional car companies and drivers.

“Is it similar to the integrated equipment manufacturers in the shipbuilding field? Based on brand appeal and channel integration capabilities, with vehicle manufacturing as a platform, they can pull out a whole industrial chain to endorse themselves?”

"We already have the car, so for the rest, we need to take our time. There's no rush."

In this field, the only successful new energy vehicle companies in the past that Jin Shang can learn from are Geely and BYD. The so-called new forces in car manufacturing are not doing well, including Xiaomi. They all have an excellent foundation in the domestic car-related industries, and then integrated resources, and as soon as they appeared, they put out the so-called "far ahead" advertisements and became followers who reaped the ready-made development dividends.

"You are seriously developing this field. What is the connection with the business you are currently promoting?"

"Chips and semiconductors, intelligent assisted driving, car networking and the like. Although the Internet is a bit vague and difficult to understand, it is not just about online shopping, chatting, social networking and new media. The key is to put it into concrete applications. Mobile Internet based on mobile phones is one aspect, and cars are also a good carrier. Since there is the gimmick of smart homes, the electrification and intelligence of cars are not castles in the air..."

“It always feels a bit overblown!”

“Everything can be connected!”

Jin Shi couldn't quite understand, and Jin Shang didn't bother to explain the details. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine what the real world would be like after the mobile Internet era came to prominence.

However, in his weekly picture books such as "Oriental Manke", Jin Shang has already placed scenes that he had seen in his previous life, which are a bit like the future science fiction era, into each story, subtly changing the cognition of young people, waiting for them to grow up and then bear fruit.

The family's chat didn't last long.

From time to time, people came to say hello. There were Jin Shang’s partners, Jin Shi’s acquaintances, a small number of relatives and friends, most of them were colleagues with related interests, and there were also some representatives of powerful departments that he frequently dealt with.

Among them, the supervisory authorities and the banking and financial system have the greatest influence, and Mei Yingnian and his eldest cousin Mei Wenhui, who are most concerned, have been talking to them about something.

Twenty minutes later, the evening show started on time.

This year's Spring Festival Gala has downplayed the nature of the annual meeting, highlighted the festive occasion, and enhanced its commercial attributes, moving towards the path of a formal program.

It’s not that Jin Shang doesn’t want to hold a big corporate party, but Jinxi Culture is getting bigger and bigger. If the entire group company organizes team building, even if each company department selects a small number of people to participate, one large venue will not be able to accommodate them. It is better to let the subsidiaries and branches make their own arrangements according to needs.

The annual meeting at the group company level is mainly focused on commendation and encouragement.

Large-scale evening parties are separated out as annual cross-enterprise public events, which serve as a bridge of communication for related industries and their representatives and exchange information.

Just like Planet Intelligence and Panda Auto, if there is no cooperation and complementary advantages, huge waste of "reinventing the wheel" is bound to occur.

It is not advisable to work in isolation. Market competition is fierce, even cruel. Without accumulating strength from all sides, it will be difficult to survive the ups and downs of the turbulent business world in the future.

The folk New Year's Eve parties are certainly not as serious as the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. There are far fewer factors to consider and taboos, and the program formats are also more diverse.

Not only will the popular singer Dai Yiqun take the stage, but there will also be the reorganized Xiaomazha band, the gradually gaining fame of the Zhendian band, and many popular or powerful singers, actors and stars.

Acrobatics, small games, folk art, and even magic that is not popular in current mainstream evening parties, as long as they are exciting enough, they will be accepted. Jin Shang, who goes by the alias Yuan Xiu, did not make any particularly outstanding moves in the Xiaomaza band, and the other people's appearances were the main focus.

The excited little Jinfeng was one of the most excited people when he saw his elder brother appear. He was not obedient at all in his mother's arms. It was only after Jinshi helped him to calm down that he calmed down.

Children of this age, when they get angry, can use quite a bit of brute force, and it would be hard to control them if you are not careful.

Jin Shang, who was singing a duet with others, came down from the backstage and returned to his seat. He raised his hand and pressed the head of the restless Xiao Jinfeng, and said with a smile:

"Behave yourself today and I'll take you to play football!"

Just a few simple words and the little guy would calm down instantly.

Mother Mei Xinghong patted her youngest son's back lovingly and said:

"In a little while, I'll probably be dozing off. If it weren't so noisy, I might have fallen asleep already."

I played with my pets at home for a long time during the day, and I took a short nap before I forced myself to wake up.

but……

"He really loves playing football. As long as he can play, he doesn't care about anything else."

Unlike his father and brother Jin Shi and Jin Shang, although little Jin Feng also showed great potential for intelligence, he was more inclined towards physical activities and had a lot of energy. He was a clear outdoorsman and was not very willing to use his brain.

Such a child from an ordinary family can be described as naughty and playful. However, the youngest son of the Jin family is different. He does not have to worry about his livelihood in his life and can just live a leisurely life.

If he really has some extraordinary talents and hobbies, his family has the resources to help him develop them.

“It’s not necessarily about liking sports like playing football, but liking to play together.”

Jin Shang responded with a very rational analysis,
"Whatever, even if he wants to start a business and squander his fortune in the future, that's fine. The reason we make so much money is just so we can be willful whenever we want!"

"Perhaps! But ..."

Mei Xinghong seemed to have encountered some difficulties and said distressedly:

"I don't know much about sports, and I'm not very familiar with football... It's hard to create comics in this area, and I don't know what types of comics kids like nowadays..."

"I'm not sure, let's try them all. Also... it doesn't have to be too professional, kids won't understand that, just themes like passion, friendship, hard work, etc. will be fine..."

Even the popular shows in the last life such as "Slam Dunk", "Captain Tsubasa", "Hikaru no Go" and "The Prince of Tennis" cannot be considered realistic. Strictly speaking, they are about superpower sports.

Those who are a little older may have watched the imported Japanese drama "The Volleyball Girl" (Burn! Spike!). What is the difference between moves like Phantom Tornado and Thunderbolt from the Sky, and tornado smash, flame bomb serve, momentum shot and high-altitude flying shot?
Which normal person can perform that kind of movements and master that kind of skills?
Sports comics fans care?
What influenced these works to become classics of a generation?
After listening to Jin Shang's explanation, Mei Xinghong, who understood the rules of the industry very well, also understood:

"I am being too picky. To create sports works, you must know nothing about them. But the more you know and the more professional you become, the more your imagination will be constrained."

Artistic creation requires logic, context and rationality, but a work of art cannot be completely defined, and it cannot be stuck in the rut of reality.

If it is really the same as reality, then who would read novels, animation, movies and TV dramas? Wouldn't it be more direct to just watch a sports game?

The problem of mother Mei Xinghong is easier to solve. She may not care much about whether the animation work she is going to create is popular or not. She just wants her little son to watch it and make him happy.

While a few people were whispering, the excited little Jinfeng couldn't hold back and fell asleep quietly in his mother's arms.

With one program after another, this New Year's Eve Gala was coming to an end. It lasted a total of three and a half hours, which was indeed long enough.

In general, all parties were very satisfied. Celebrity artists got the opportunity to perform on stage, various brands advertised, TV stations had high-quality programs to broadcast, investment promotion was smoother, and various companies had a relatively stable opportunity for year-end exchanges.

After the party, it was already late. Jin Shang chatted with many people and, with the introduction of Hao Qilian, he got in touch with many of them.

There is a lot of good news, but not all of it is good.

For example, Hao Qilian revealed some unusual inside information about the future development of Fetion.

Because of the struggle for management rights and a series of operational phases, Fetion has always felt like it has been one step behind in the fierce competition with Jinxi Chat in recent months.

Poor market sensitivity does not necessarily mean that management is incompetent.

In order to gain an advantage in future competition and avoid being completely crushed by today's chat, the management of mobile and telecommunications is seeking market-oriented reforms.

It is estimated that the entire management team will have to be replaced, and after introducing strategic investors who are proficient in market-oriented operations, the development path will be replanned.

In its previous life, Fetion, despite having an absolute advantage, eventually lost the market to WeChat. It was such a pity.

Such an experience is unlikely to happen in this lifetime, but it also means that the competitive pressure in Tonight's Chat will increase dramatically.
