The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

Why does BMW want to cut prices but Ford doesn't have to consider price cuts?
Ford's best-selling products are priced from 15 to 25. This price is still far away from 27, so Ford will not be greatly affected. But BMW's lowest-end car costs [-]. What can you get at this price? Come compete with Deep Blue Cars.

They don't want to lose the market to Deep Blue Cars, so they can only choose to sell at a lower price.

Besides, the production cost of a low-end BMW is only RMB 15 to RMB [-]. Even if it drops to RMB [-], they still have a profit of RMB [-] to RMB [-]. Maybe low-end cars can sell well because of this.

That's why Harold Krueger is adjusting the retail prices of low-end cars.

Except for BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi share the same view.

Because they were unable to accurately assess the cost of Deep Blue Car, but the price assessment was very reasonable. Who would have thought that Deep Blue Car only costs 17. If Cao Mang reduced the battery to 60KW, Deep Blue Car's manufacturing cost could be reduced by two. Thirty thousand.

The price of 17 is based on the purchase price. If you include the dividends from graphene, chips and batteries, the cost of a dark blue car is only about 14.

CATL sells graphene batteries to Deep Blue Technology at industry prices. Deep Blue Group can obtain 50.00% dividends from CATL. The graphene used in graphene batteries is purchased from Deep Blue Graphene.

Not to mention the profits of Deep Blue Graphene. As for the chips, they are purchased from Deep Blue Semiconductor.

Although these companies are all companies under the Deep Blue Group, each company's finances are calculated independently, and last year's profits will not be aggregated to the head office until after the new year.

April 4th arrived in the blink of an eye.

Nothing happened in the past 20 days. Deep Blue's electronic product shipments are still very stable. Deep Blue MAX is still in short supply in Europe, but you have to wait in line in China.

Because Deep Blue Technology supplies most of its supplies abroad.

However, those domestic users who wanted to buy Deep Blue MAX complained bitterly, and domestic friends also gained a certain degree of survival space.

Deep Blue Chat has broken the market balance. Deep Blue Chat has more online users than WeChat. It is difficult for WeChat to reverse the decline in the short term. As for QQ, it is still the leader in PC instant messaging.

Deep Blue Games has made great achievements during this period, especially the revenue of Deep Blue Games' overseas markets. The revenue of three games in overseas markets has exceeded 40 billion US dollars, and these three games have become the highest-grossing games in the world.

As for payment, the world is still divided into three parts. However, Deep Blue Payment occupies the largest market share. Deep Blue Payment occupies 37% of the market share, WeChat Pay has dropped to 33%, and Zhifubao’s market share has dropped to 22%. , the remaining market share belongs to other payment platforms.

Deep Blue Novels has now become the largest online novel platform on the market, and Deep Blue’s free version has captured most of the market share.

So far, the only loss-making company under the name of Deep Blue Enterprises is the Deep Blue Weibo platform.

Cao Mang looked at the report on the financial system in the morning. Last month, Deep Blue Weibo lost more than 800 million, and Deep Blue Weibo also suffered losses. You can imagine how difficult life is for Zhalang Weibo.

Tesla's life is not easy either.

距今为止model 3只卖了4万多辆，特斯拉股价也因此跌到50块，市场从300跌到了70多亿美刀。

Many car companies came to the door hoping to buy Tesla, but Max did not intend to sell Tesla.

In order to obtain more advanced batteries, many foreign car companies have joined the battery alliances of LG and Samsung. They can only pin their hopes on the battery alliance.

Wang Chuanfu and Liu Zengmin have not been idle in the past period. With the profits brought by graphene batteries, they have become the major shareholders of Ganfeng Lithium Industry and Tianqi Lithium Industry respectively. Both of them have annexed these two companies. idea.

But it is not that easy to swallow these two companies.

Office of the President of Deep Blue Technology.

Cao Mang invited Zeng Liumin and Wang Chuanfu to his office.

"Mr. Zeng, thank you for coming all the way here." Cao Mang poured tea for Zeng Liumin and said.

"It's not hard." Zeng Liumin smiled.

"I wonder why Mr. Cao invited us here this time?" Wang Chuanfu asked curiously.

"It won't be long before the global lithium mines will skyrocket. In order to cope with the surge in batteries, I plan to set up a mining company. This company will be jointly funded and constructed by our three companies, and then use this company to acquire lithium mines from external parties and reserve them.

When the time comes, whichever of your two companies needs lithium ore will purchase it directly at the market price.

It is enough for each of the three companies to invest 100 billion soft sister coins. I wonder what you two think of my suggestion? "Cao Mang asked.

"Then who will control this company?" Wang Chuanfu asked.

"We can just hire a professional manager to manage it. I don't have that much time to take care of it. If you two want to take care of it, that's fine," Cao Mang replied.

"Mr. Cao, we at Ningde era can't afford that much money." Zeng Liumin said awkwardly.

Although the current production capacity of CATL is contracted by Deep Blue Technology, which allows CATL to obtain a very stable source of profits, it is very difficult for him to just come up with 100 billion at once.

Even BYD may not be able to get it. Of course, you can borrow the money from the bank, but I don’t know if the two of them are willing.

"I know that you two don't have that much money on hand. You can pay in installments to invest in shares. For the first time, each company will invest 30 billion." Cao Mang said.

Wang Chuanfu immediately agreed when he heard that he could pay in installments and only needed to pay a down payment of 30 billion for the first time. 30 billion soft sister coins was just a drop in the bucket for BYD.

"BYD has no problem." Wang Chuanfu said.

Although 30 billion was a large sum for CATL, Zeng Liumin decisively agreed to the request after seeing Wang Chuanfu agree. After discussion among the three, the new company was named Qiankun International Mining.

Warwick Data Center in Qiangui Province.

Today is the busiest day at Warwick Data Center.

One hundred thousand servers independently developed by Deep Blue Technology were shipped to the data center. In order to install the servers shipped by Deep Blue Technology, the data center staff have been busy from morning until now, in order to quickly install these new servers into the data center.

The people in the data center also hired a lot of temporary workers.

The servers developed by Deep Blue Technology are somewhat different from traditional servers. Deep Blue servers adopt the module form of a single card and a single board. Engineers made the Deep Blue Pegasus CPU similar to a graphics card.

Each board is equipped with a CPU and 16GB of memory. These modules can be hot-swapped into the cabinet. Each cabinet can support 100 CPUs. In addition, each cabinet can also support 400 graphics cards.

How these resources are allocated will be controlled and allocated by the Pegasus system.

The calculation is also based on cabinets. Traditional blade servers can only install ten servers in each cabinet, and each server can only support up to 4U.In other words, in terms of a cabinet, Deep Blue servers can accommodate 60 more CPUs and 360 more graphics cards than blade servers.

In terms of floor space, DeepBlue's server perfectly beats traditional servers.

In addition, these DeepBlue servers use a unified water cooling system. One central water pump can support 200 cabinets. For the same 35 cabinets, the unified water cooling system reduces cooling costs by [-]%.

You must know that the same number of Deep Blue servers has 60 more CPUs and 360 more graphics cards than traditional blade servers.

Under such circumstances, the unified water cooling system can also reduce cooling costs by 35%.

If these costs are allocated to each CPU and GPU individually, it is a very exaggerated figure.

As for the power consumption of the CPU, it goes without saying that the Pegasus CPU consumes only 35 watts, while one gram of Intel Xeon CPU requires 65W, which directly saves 30W of power consumption.

As for the accelerator card of Deep Blue Technology
The power consumption of a single card reaches 230 watts, which is already very low. Compared with NVIDIA's A800, a single card saves 70W of power consumption.

Computer Room 6 of Huawei Data Center.

After Zhang Pingan finished his work, he ran to the computer room to check on the engineers installing the server.

"Mr. Zhang." Jing Guanglu greeted Zhang Ping'an after seeing him.

"Is it troublesome to install these Deep Blue servers?" Zhang Pingan asked.

"Their servers are the easiest to install that I have ever seen. These servers all use hot-swappable mode. You only need to insert the module into the server. This kind of server is also very convenient to repair. If any module is broken, you can just replace it." .

The only troublesome thing is their unified water cooling system. We need to connect pipes to each server.

There was also a need to make room for a water pump for their unified water cooling system.

But their design is very cool, and I don’t know how they have the brains to come up with this kind of cooling method.

This cooling method not only greatly reduces heat dissipation costs, but also greatly reduces maintenance costs. We only need to maintain the water pump. Unlike before, we had to maintain the fan, and replacing the fan was very troublesome. "Jing Guanglu replied.

"How is the performance of Deep Blue's Pegasus CPU?" Zhang Pingan asked again.

“Although Deep Blue Technology’s CPU does not have as many cores as Intel’s Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3, its single-core performance is twice that of Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3. In the case of multi-core linkage, its performance is that of Intel Xeon 2 times that of E5-2699 v3.

I don’t even know how to describe this CPU from Deep Blue Technology. This CPU can be said to be the most powerful CPU in the world so far.

Neither running speed nor throughput can be compared to Intel.

Especially their multi-core linkage function can link all servers, even if it is used as a supercomputer, there is no problem.

I heard that Deep Blue Technology also uses it in XR glasses and cars. The diversity of this CPU is unmatched by other manufacturers, and its design concept is several generations ahead of other manufacturers.

Diversified designs can reduce chip design and manufacturing costs by at least 40-50%.

The Pegasus system of Deep Blue Technology is also very powerful. It is compatible with winods and Linux programs. In compatibility mode, the running speed is not slow at all. If you use the Pegasus programming language to develop programs.

The running speed of the program can be increased by at least 30-40%.

This system of Deep Blue Technology can allow us to reduce operating expenses by at least 30-40%. "Jing Guanglu told Zhang Pingan the test results.

Jing Guanglu wanted to kneel down to the designers of Deep Blue Technology, because the entire Pegasus system was so awesome that it was not comparable to the WI system.

"Is there no problem with these servers being officially launched on May 5st?" Zhang Pingan asked.

"These servers will be online on the 28th." Jing Guanglu replied.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work first, I won't disturb you anymore." Zhang Pingan said.

4 month 26 number.

A technology company in Hangzhou.

Sima Changshou was visiting the Pacific Automotive Network to check the car news. He had recently taken a few private orders and made a little money, so he planned to buy a car for his family. He couldn't afford the more than 20 yuan of a Deep Blue car.

He plans to buy a domestic car worth about [-] yuan.

But he was shocked when he saw the advertisement on the homepage of Pacific Automotive Network.

BMW 1 Series has seen price cuts across the board, with the maximum price reduction reaching RMB 5.

The next piece of news is that the price of Audi A3 has dropped to 15.8.

In the next news, the price of Mercedes-Benz A-Class dropped from 20 to 15.

"Are these manufacturers of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi crazy? The cheapest car has been reduced by so much. How can a domestic car sell for 15 yuan at this price?" Sima Changshou asked in surprise.

The colleague sitting next to him also heard his voice.

"I originally thought it would take a month or two for them to lower their prices, but I didn't expect some of them to lower their prices so quickly." Mai Maolong stretched his head over and took a look at the monitor.

"But isn't this price reduction too big?" Sima Changshou said.

"If they don't lower the price of Deep Blue cars after they go on the market, how will they sell them? It's most appropriate for them to lower prices at this time. If they don't lower the prices, how will they sell these cars? I want you to choose whether you choose Deep Blue cars or buy a 20 BBA." Mai Mao Long said.

"A Deep Blue car only costs 25 yuan including subsidies. After spending 20 yuan, there is still only 5 yuan left. Besides, Deep Blue's is an electric car and is much safer than the 20 BBA car." Sima Changshou said.

"No, if they don't lower the price, they won't have to sell it at all. Otherwise, other brands will also lower their prices in a few days. If they don't lower their prices, they won't be able to compete with BBA. Deep Blue Technology will single-handedly suppress the entire automobile market.

Mang Shen is so awesome. Are you going to buy a car if you want to live longer? "Mai Maolong praised.

"I plan to buy a car that costs more than 10,000 yuan for my wife to drive. It is really suitable when the price drops." Sima Changshou said.

"I suggest you buy a BYD Song, which only costs about 13 yuan including subsidies. The BYD Song uses graphene batteries, and the battery life and battery life are very good. The most important thing is that the hybrid BYD Song has no license restrictions." Mai Maolong said. (End of chapter)
