Our Rise Era

Chapter 146 A shocking gamble!

"Yes! I won't give up!"

"..."

February 2008th.

It seems to be colder than usual.

The biting cold wind blew through the streets.

Leaves fell from the trees one by one. Although it was a sunny day and there was sunshine, it still couldn't resist the biting cold.

[Shenglan Technology] entrance.

More and more reporters came from all directions, surrounding this not-so-big place. Almost everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yang, who was standing upright in the crowd.

For Zhang Yang...

In fact, no matter which reporter, including those from Zhang Yang’s hometown, their evaluation of him is “without bottom line”.

If we were to say who was the most watched and controversial young entrepreneur from 07 to 08, Zhang Yang would definitely be on the list.

In this era when the Internet is becoming increasingly popular, this young man often acts almost crazy and does all kinds of amazing things.

Some have no bottom line...

Somewhat shameless...

Some of them were even immoral, and many audience members couldn't help but want to slap him after hearing them.

……

These shocking actions are quite controversial, but they have become extremely popular on the Internet and have all been criticized.

However, everyone could sense Zhang Yang’s deepest purpose from the thing jumping up and down.

That’s marketing!

But this time...

Zhang Yang's behavior is incomprehensible.

If it is marketing, then what exactly is he marketing?
Spending huge amounts of money on marketing that is almost like gambling, what is he doing?
................................................

"In recent years, our Chinese photovoltaic industry has once ushered in a glorious period..."

"In just three years from 2004 to 2007, China's photovoltaic cell production capacity soared from 3MW to 50MW, a 1088-fold increase. In 20, China officially surpassed Japan to become the world's largest photovoltaic product producer..."

“Without a doubt, this is a very brilliant set of data!”

"And in glory, I also wanted to enter this industry..."

"However, when I really started to investigate this industry, I discovered one thing, that is, the photovoltaic industry chain is divided into upstream, midstream and downstream. The upstream is the purification and preparation of raw materials from silicon materials to silicon wafers, the midstream is the assembly and manufacturing from silicon wafers to batteries and components, and the downstream is the combined application from components to power stations..."

“And what exactly are we doing in the global and international arena?
"To put it bluntly, the work we do is basically midstream assembly work without any technical content. To put it bluntly, we buy silicon wafers from abroad, and then use glass, backplanes and other accessories to glue and fix them, assemble them into photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic modules, and then sell them abroad to earn some hard-earned money from assembly. The gross profit margin of a module is less than 4%..."

"We have three heads out!"

"Which three?"

"Raw materials, equipment and markets are all highly dependent on overseas. More than 90% of crystalline silicon raw materials are imported, more than 90% of processing equipment is purchased from abroad, and more than 90% of photovoltaic products are sold overseas... In fact, it can be said that more than 90% are purchased!"

"To put it bluntly, we have absolutely no pricing power, let alone the power to decide anything. We can't even decide the market. If the market changes a little, we will be doomed..."

"..."

distance.

The wind was still cold, blowing on Zhang Yang's face.

But, a ray of sunshine came from the void, shining through layers of clouds onto Zhang Yang's face.

At this moment, Zhang Yang looked extremely serious, no longer displaying the exaggerated behavior he had shown on the Internet before.

He looked straight ahead, his eyes gradually becoming moist as if the scene brought back some sad memories.

"It turns out that we lost this battle!"

"On the other side of the ocean, a shocking financial tsunami started from the United States and swept across the world with the power of thunder..."

"During this financial crisis, we have suffered a near-fatal blow in terms of raw materials, markets, and costs!"

"I watched helplessly as companies collapsed one after another, and I watched the entire industry teeter on the verge of collapse. I also watched as investors fled the market one after another..."

"I know that the building is about to collapse and I can't support it alone, but..."

"I'm not reconciled!"

"Especially, when I saw that day, President Diao kept telling me with a hoarse voice that we were going to succeed, and we would succeed soon!"

"We will have a breakthrough in the field of monocrystalline silicon, and we will also have a breakthrough in the field of polycrystalline silicon..."

"We just need time and a little bit of money..."

"I saw dozens of engineers in the R&D room, working day and night on various tests and experiments..."

"I saw the logs in the R&D room. In the logs, there were records of repeated failures, repeated readjustments, repeated technological innovations, and a lot of energy spent on R&D. They broke through one technology after another that everyone thought was not applicable to practical use..."

"I was deeply moved, I..."

"Not reconciled!"

"..."

"So, I just became this fool!"

"..."

business department.

In the video.

Song Guifang looked at this rather thin young man.

She saw that the young man's eyes were getting redder and redder, but he was clenching his fists more and more excitedly.

She heard the young man's voice, which revealed a strong sense of unwillingness... Especially when the young man emphasized again, "So, I became this fool"...

It was like a mournful cry in the darkness, piercing deeply into Song Guifang's heart.

Her eyes were somewhat complicated, and after watching the video, she couldn't get over this emotion for a long time.

After a long silence, he looked at Section Chief Wu in front of him and said, "This young man..."

"His name is Zhang Yang. He is an entrepreneur who just emerged in 07. His reputation on the Internet is not very good..."

"There are many investment projects and successful cases. Some time ago, the most popular copycat mobile phone was launched under his leadership, sweeping across most of China..."

"..."

Song Guifang saw Section Chief Wu handing over a piece of Zhang Yang's information.

She flipped through the information.

The information is very detailed, from the failed stock market in 07, to the instant noodle factory, to the animation, to the special effects film, to the copycat mobile phone...

He has been involved in many industries and has achieved good results in these industries...

Turning over and over…

Song Guifang finally closed her eyes again.

this person……

Song Guifang felt a strong sense of separation.

Judging from all the things that happened in the past, this young man is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and even took a lot of shortcuts...

In fact, when I saw the information, it showed that this young man suddenly entered the photovoltaic field without any warning, and entered this field at a time when everyone thought it was the photovoltaic winter...

It's really incredible.

If we put aside other thoughts and evaluate this young man, Song Guifang even thinks that this is no longer gambling, this is simply going to die...

"Leader...will this young man... survive?"

"..."

in the office.

Wu Guozheng suddenly said this without any warning.

When saying this, Song Guifang looked up at Wu Guozheng with a calm gaze, but did not respond.

Wu Guozheng was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "I think he is not committing suicide, but making a huge gamble. He has completely revealed his attitude, betting that we will not let him die, or in other words, betting that our country will not let the entire photovoltaic industry die..."

"He lost the bet and had nothing..."

"But if the bet wins!"

"He is the retrograde of the entire era and the benchmark!"

"..."

Wu Guozheng said this excitedly.

But after that…

The whole office fell silent again.

Song Guifang shook her head and finally looked at Wu Guozheng: "How the leaders above arrange it is not something we can decide... I can only say that the photovoltaic industry will not collapse or die. It will survive well, whether it is now or in the future... And the saying "Science and technology are the primary productive force" will always be the truth!"

"Then he..."

"The information is on my desk. You can go back first. During this time, take good care of the overseas and Chinese affairs. The destructive power caused by this financial crisis is immeasurable. It is not just the photovoltaic industry, but also involves many more industries... We must minimize the losses!"

"it is good!"

Wu Guozheng nodded and left the office.

When Wu Guozheng left the office...

Song Guifang took another look at Zhang Yang's information.

After thinking for a long time, he asked Wu Guozheng to send him an electronic copy of the information.

Finally, the electronic and video materials were slightly organized to form a speech manuscript.

Not long after doing these things.

Her phone rang.

Then she stood up and walked out of the office with a serious expression.

Towards the distance...

Walked past the Ministry of Commerce lobby.

Along the way, countless reporters held microphones and rushed to interview her.

Her expression remained calm throughout, and she did not reveal a word. She only reassured the relevant departments that they had made all preparations to deal with the disaster that was sweeping the world on the other side of the ocean.

Under the escort of security personnel, she finally arrived at the conference room. After showing her ID, she paused for a moment and finally pushed open the door.

When the door is opened...

She saw a lot of people who were already waiting in the conference room.

Among these people...

There is not only a Ministry of Commerce, but also a Ministry of Industry, a Ministry of Technology...

However, everyone at this moment was very quiet, and their expressions were particularly solemn...

All the important departments in China sat in the conference room, waiting for the start of this [financial crisis]...

She found her seat and sat down.

He silently took out the speech.
