Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 408 Reporting and Economic Adjustment

Among the many commercial flights waiting in line to land above the Beijing airport, two Gulfstream G650 business jets were also waiting in line in the air to land.

This is currently the world's top business jet, and it is extremely expensive and is still very rare in the current business jet fleet.

In China, they are even rarer. They are usually the private cars of top wealthy people, or they are simply operated commercially or used as charter flights.

Among the very few G650 business jets in China, Zhiyun Airlines has the largest number in its fleet.

In order to meet the travel needs of senior executives and important customers of the group and its sister companies, Zhiyun Airlines has purchased four G650 business jets.

If we add in several other business jets, Zhiyun Aviation actually owns the largest number of business jets for its own use in the world.

Its business jet fleet consists of a total of eleven business jets, all of which are for its own use and not operated for external commercial purposes.

At the same time, Zhiyun Airlines occasionally rents business jets from other shipping companies to temporarily meet the travel needs of company executives around the world.

In addition to business jets, it also owns a large number of business helicopters. There are more than 30 business helicopters in the world. These helicopters are mainly deployed abroad. Domestic infrastructure is convenient. It is more convenient to take a jet business jet for long distances and to take a vehicle directly for medium and short distances.

But this is not the case abroad. In many places, there is a rigid demand for business helicopters.

This also led to Zhiyun Aviation becoming the company with the largest fleet of private business jets in the world.

This is directly related to the global layout of Zhiyun Group and many other companies under Xu Shenxue's name... With so many corporate executives flying around the world every few days, they would be too busy without so many business jets.

Recently, Zhiyun Airlines also ordered an Airbus A340 business jet, which is expected to be delivered in the second half of the year.

The main reason is that the existing Gulfstream business jets are relatively small, and Xu Shenxue often travels with a lot of people... Every time Xu Shenxue travels, at least two business jets are needed to carry out the mission.

Taking this situation into consideration, Zhiyun Airlines specially ordered an A340 business jet as Xu Shenxue's exclusive business jet.

Although Xu Shenxue does not travel abroad now, he often travels around the country and has a strong demand for business jets.

Although the G650, a business jet, has been disliked by Zhiyun Aviation, which feels that it is not suitable to serve as Xu Shenxue's business jet, it is still a top-level player in the business jet market at this time.

It is rare to see even one plane appearing on normal days, but now two of them appeared at the same time, so it attracted the attention of many nearby pilots.

The personnel at the tower also received the relevant information in a timely manner and began to guide the two business jets to land, and they were specially arranged to land on an emergency runway.

The main purpose is to avoid some air flow fluctuations generated by large commercial aircraft during takeoff and landing.

Although the maximum take-off weight of the G650 business jet can reach more than 320 tons, it is still relatively small compared to those large commercial aircraft... The maximum take-off weight of very common aircraft such as the Airbus A737 and Boeing 700- can reach to tons.

If small planes such as the G650 business jet take off and land too close to these large commercial flights, accidents are likely to occur... However, Beijing is a super large airport with dense flights, and it is impossible to give you much free time.

Therefore, it would be easier to just arrange a dedicated runway for takeoff and landing!
It didn't take long before the two G650 business jets waiting in line to land in the sky landed on the runway one after another, and then taxied to the parking space on the side specially for business jets.

On the plane, Yu Taihe looked out the window at the parking space next to him, then at the parking spaces for commercial flights in the distance... He couldn't help but sigh that this trip really broadened his horizons.

He had taken a few flights before, but the experience of taking ordinary commercial flights and taking this special business jet were completely different.

There was no so-called check-in process, nor did we walk through the regular channel like ordinary passengers. Even the location where we boarded the plane was different.

Although there were identity checks in the middle, they were all done by dedicated personnel, and they didn’t even get out of the car during the entire process... The subsequent convoy was led directly by a guide car, entered the airport through a special channel, and then drove all the way to the parking space for the business jet.

After getting off the car, I got on the plane directly.

Now after the plane lands, the process is similar!
After they got off the plane, they got directly into a waiting row of sea-blue cars and then left the airport directly!

The whole process made Yu Taihe feel the specialness of today... Of course, he also felt the specialness of his boss even more!
This is not something that ordinary rich people can do!

How could an ordinary wealthy person be surrounded by a group of armed security guards...let alone take a plane with armed security guards?

But he, Xu Shenxue, can do it!

The convoy of all bulletproof black and sea-blue cars moved forward, and Yu Taihe also began the most special day of his life, or even the most important day for him.

Xu Shenxue personally took him to give a report that he had never dreamed of before...

After finishing the report, he was still dizzy when he was brought out early and waited outside... He couldn't even remember what he said in the report.

nervous!
It took a long time before I came to my senses!

Then Academician He said, "Dr. Yu, you have to get used to occasions like yesterday and today. I estimate that there will be more of them in the future."

Yu Taihe forced a smile and said, "I was stuttering just now... Oh, I am so embarrassed!"

"It's okay, just come a few more times and it will be fine!"

Yu Taihe said: "Academician He, you used to come here often, I don't think you are nervous at all..."

Academician He was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said, "I have been to this place several times when I was working in the unit before, but this is the first time I have come here!"

"It is all thanks to you, Dr. Yu, that I can attend this level of presentation today!"

Although Academician He has made many achievements in scientific research and has reached the level of academician, he has also won many scientific and technological awards in the past and has also received some rewards.

But to be honest, this kind of situation today was the first time he had experienced it.

Then I thought of my boss... If we talk about awesomeness, my boss is the real awesomeness!

For reports of this level, my boss has to come here every few months, just like punching in at work... He comes so often that even the staff who pour tea here can call out his name.

There used to be rumors outside saying that their boss was someone's white glove.

Only people with low IQ would believe such words.

If we have to say that Xu Shenxue is a white glove, then he is also the white glove of 1.4 billion people!
I don’t know what my boss is talking to them about in there at this time.

But if nothing unexpected happens, the issue should be the subsequent commercial application of MMK34 material.

Once this super material begins to be used commercially on a large scale, the consequences will be extremely serious and may even lead to a huge industrial impact.

For example, the existing superconducting industry is likely to be wiped out... There are many companies in China that make superconducting materials, which are mainly used in medical and other fields. For example, MRI equipment is a device that uses relatively more superconducting materials.

However, these traditional superconducting materials are vulnerable to MMK34 materials.

If MMK34 material is launched on the market today, these traditional superconducting material manufacturers will go bankrupt tomorrow.

If the cost of MMK34 material is reduced to a certain level and can be used in some common equipment, such as equipment in the power supply system, including power generation, transmission, transformation, storage and other links... then many existing power equipment will become completely obsolete overnight, causing a huge industrial impact.

At the same time, it has been determined that the superconducting quantum computer using MMK34 material will, according to Academician He’s own estimate, improve its performance much faster than originally expected.

According to the information learned by Academician He, the superconducting quantum computer currently being tested on a small scale in the group uses a previously developed low-temperature superconducting material, with the lowest temperature being minus 140 degrees Celsius under normal pressure... Using this material, Zhiyun Group's superconducting quantum computer is expected to exceed 10,000 quantum bits this year and be put into commercial use next year.

However, if MMK34 material is used, Zhiyun Group will be able to achieve huge breakthroughs in superconducting quantum bit technology, superconducting circuit technology and superconducting resonant cavity technology, and thus increase the number of quantum bits to or even .

This will allow superconducting quantum computers to enter the true commercial era and replace some existing traditional electronic computers to perform some computing tasks.

In the future, it may even be possible to reach more than one million quantum bits. At this level, superconducting quantum computers can be declared to be gradually entering the personal computer terminal market.

The strategic significance is huge. Even now, it is of great significance. In the future, Zhiyun Group will be able to achieve computing speeds dozens or even hundreds of times faster than other competitors in some computing fields... This is crucial for many contemporary scientific research systems that are increasingly dependent on supercomputers.

In addition, Academician He also knew that the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute was studying the use of quantum computers for artificial intelligence training and deployment, and heard that the progress was relatively smooth.

With continued progress in the software field, coupled with huge breakthroughs in superconducting quantum computer technology... Academician He believes that in the future, it may even be possible to see computing power in the field of artificial intelligence increase by a hundred or even a thousand times.

What will happen then is simply unimaginable!
In addition, superconducting materials also have huge applications in the field of national defense!

The various applications of superconducting materials will eventually bring about tremendous changes in the entire industrial system based on electricity... Any business that uses electricity may eventually be affected by the MK334 material.

It's just a question of direct or indirect.

Therefore, if MMK34 material is to be used commercially, a series of events will occur. There will certainly be many benefits, but the pain will also be very severe.

The emergence of new technologies that disrupt the industry will bring pain.

This kind of pain cannot be solved by relying on Zhiyun Group's own strength, and an overall coordinated plan is necessary.

After all, this involves the industrial upgrading of many industries, and we can't act recklessly, otherwise the pain period will cause some chaos.

Economics is a complicated thing to deal with. It doesn’t mean that the emergence of good things will necessarily lead to good phenomena...sometimes it can also lead to turbulence.

This is the case in the field of artificial intelligence. With Zhiyun Group's strength, it is not impossible to use artificial intelligence to solve problems in many fields, but it cannot be done recklessly... Otherwise, what if it leads to massive unemployment?
For example, the industrial robots used in many factories. With Zhiyun Group’s current strength in the field of industrial robots, it is actually possible to produce some very cheap industrial robots to replace a large number of low-end repetitive labor.

But Zhiyun Group did not do so... because it would lead to the unemployment of a large number of low-end repetitive labor.

Therefore, Zhiyun Group only makes high-end industrial robots, making it unprofitable for domestic companies to use these industrial robots in labor-intensive industries. However, in some foreign countries with higher labor costs, it is more profitable for their labor-intensive companies to purchase and use these industrial robots at a lower cost than hiring their local workers.

As for whether foreign workers are unemployed, this has nothing to do with Zhiyun.

As for the driverless taxi industry, Zhiyun Group and Hailan Automobile are not involved in it... In terms of technology, the automatic driving function in Hailan Automobile can be fully used in regular driverless taxis, but Hailan Automobile refuses to do so.

The reason is simple... traditional taxis and the current online car-hailing industry support tens of millions of people, so how can they come here casually?

Xu Shenxue believes that driverless taxis will definitely be developed in the future, but not now...

On the contrary, Xu Shenxue encourages the online car-hailing industry to adopt electric vehicles rather than driverless cars... The use of electric vehicles has lower operating costs, can bring more income to online car-hailing drivers, and can also greatly stimulate the development of the domestic electric vehicle industry.

After all, not all domestic electric vehicle companies can directly engage in mid-to-high-end smart electric vehicles like Hailan Automobile. The current core market of many domestic electric vehicle companies is not the private car sector, but the commercial taxi and online car-hailing market.

The relationships between industries are often interconnected, one link after another, and cannot be done blindly.

Xu Shenxue was also very cautious about this.

When it comes to MMK34 room-temperature and pressure superconducting materials, Xu Shenxue is even more cautious!
This is also the main reason why he came to make a report.

MMK34 material must be an important milestone research and development achievement in the history of human science, at least one of them!

However, how to use it specifically to bring greater benefits and avoid large-scale negative impacts requires careful consideration.

After a day of reporting, Xu Shenxue ended his trip and left with Academician He, Dr. Yu and others to stay at the hotel.

After a night's rest, Xu Shenxue went to attend another meeting.

The entire meeting lasted three days.

During these three days, Dr. Yu also went along, and he mainly started to give various introductions to the MMK34 material. However, some subsequent specific matters had little to do with him... They all involved some macroeconomic issues, and he had no way to participate. He could only provide some technical information on the MMK34 material.

However, during these three days, Dr. Yu also met many well-known domestic scholars.

They all came from far away places specifically for the meeting.

Some of them are technology giants in other technology industries, including many academicians.

Others are some top scholars in the economic field...not those scholars who publicly make various economic remarks on the Internet every other day. These people are actually not up to the standard.

The bigwigs in the economic and industrial fields who can really come to the fore, offer advice for the economy and act as think tanks, generally do not make any public statements.

Even ordinary people don’t know their names.

In other words, the so-called experts that people see on the Internet making all kinds of bold statements are not actually experts and cannot participate in real economic decision-making.

During these three days, Yu Taihe saw a bunch of top experts who could participate in economic decision-making...

The top experts he met during these three days were more than he had ever heard of, which was really an eye-opener.

Three days later, Xu Shenxue brought Dr. Yu and others back on a special plane. Also traveling with them was another civil aviation charter plane with more than a hundred technical experts on board.

After two business jets and a civil aviation charter plane landed at Guangcheng Airport, they headed straight to Guangcheng Zhiyun Technology Park. Xu Shenxue stayed here for another day, personally arranged many trivial matters, then suspended the affairs here and returned to Shenzhen.

In the past three days, Xu Shenxue has been working at a high intensity, which is rare. He has held many meetings. All the things involved cannot be made public at present... because they involve macroeconomic decisions in the next few years.

How could such a thing be made public? If any information were leaked, it would immediately cause turmoil in the stock market and even in some industries.

The promotion of the entire plan requires macro-control step by step and the preparation of many policies in advance for guidance.

In this way, we can avoid severe turmoil when Zhiyun Group officially announces the commercialization of its heavyweight superconducting quantum computer next year.

Only when MMK34 material is put into large-scale industrial mass production and application later or the year after can industrial turmoil be avoided!
At that time, many related industrial chains in the country will be pleasantly surprised to find that... they have unknowingly completed the advance preparations for the superconducting era and can seamlessly connect and directly enter the superconducting era.

Taking the relatively familiar medical device MRI as an example, according to the planned schedule, in the next two years, several domestic MRI equipment manufacturers will be guided to actively upgrade their technology.

So that in the future, MMK34 materials can be used to replace existing traditional superconducting materials, and at the same time, more advanced MRI equipment can be developed... and then not only seize the domestic MRI equipment market, but also achieve comprehensive exports and capture overseas markets.

Other industries are similar. The country will successively release policies to support superconducting materials and guide companies to actively upgrade their technology and transform.

Of course... at this time, people might think that they should promote the development of the superconducting industry, guide capital investment, and strive to develop true room-temperature superconducting materials... just like supporting the development of the electric vehicle industry and the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry in the past and now.

People often believe in this because this model is actually a template routine and it is very effective.

The general pattern is like this: first, see what industries have a strategic role. If it is determined that the industry has a strategic role, then support it, various policies, and intensive capital will flow in, and then support domestic companies to upgrade their technology and expand production.

Then they will gradually seize the domestic market and enter an era of flourishing flowers. During this process, foreign companies will quickly lose the domestic market.

After domestic companies have seized the domestic market, they will take action to carry out rectification. At the same time, due to industry competition, a process of big fish eating small fish will occur, and the rectification of an industry will be completed, cultivating a number of large leading companies with international competitiveness.

Then, we push these large leading companies to compete overseas, rely on their supply chain advantages to defeat overseas companies, and then seize the global market.

This pattern works great every time I use it.

Therefore, people are likely to think that support for the superconducting industry also belongs to this category.

But few people would guess that superconducting materials at room temperature and pressure are already ready...just waiting for the industry to upgrade and adjust the technology and then apply it on a large scale.

This time, the industrial upgrade and support are different from previous industrial upgrades/support!
It is not for the purpose of international competition, but to avoid chaos in many domestic industries!
You don’t have to worry about the life and death of foreign companies, but you have to worry about the life and death of your own companies!
Otherwise, if Zhiyun Group foolishly launched the MMK34 material for large-scale commercial use and rushed into the market intensively... many domestic companies would die in droves.

That's a big deal!
