Our Rise Era

Chapter 150 A new chapter of the era!

The lights are brilliant.

but……

The scene was extremely solemn.

The solemnity made Chen Tiangui's expression gradually become serious after he experienced a period of excitement.

The shadow of the financial crisis still looms large.

The country’s move this time is of great significance, but the road ahead is still full of thorns and bumps.

This meeting...

It is the surviving Chinese photovoltaic industry that unites to overcome the difficulties.

It's not a commendation ceremony.

..........................................

"The National New Energy Conference will be held at 9 o'clock this morning in the Yanjing Center Conference Room..."

"The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Energy Bureau jointly issued a document to launch the Golden Sun Project, with an estimated investment of 100 billion yuan to help the photovoltaic industry with fiscal subsidies. Grid-connected photovoltaic power generation projects will be subsidized at 50% of the total investment, and independent photovoltaic systems in remote areas will be subsidized at 70%..."

"..."

Hangcheng.

Ma Yunqiang silently watched the [Midday News] on CCTV channel.

His expression was very solemn, and he even stared at every word in the news, as if he wanted to analyze the deep meaning behind each word clearly.

In the news...

Inevitably, he saw two people.

One of them was "Zhang Yang" and the other was a nouveau riche whom he had never looked up to. Even when talking about Chen Tiangui, the secretary couldn't help but use the idiom "a monkey in a crown" to describe him.

However, no one expected that these two people would become part of the entire [Midday News] and become one of the most prominent people in the photovoltaic industry.

The secretary stood nearby with an equally serious expression.

While watching the news, he lowered his head and looked at the documents in his hands.

The data shows...

A large number of companies that survived the global financial crisis in the second half of last year attended this meeting.

At the meeting, among the 120 photovoltaic energy-related companies present, Zhang Yang directly or indirectly participated in the investment of nearly half of them.

In the second half of last year, the entire Chinese photovoltaic industry was close to collapse, and countless companies were in dire straits. Some companies that were once worth hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan burst like bubbles under the influence of this storm. Some companies only needed tens of millions to buy nearly 30% of the company's shares...

At that time, when Zhang Yang and Chen Tiangui were investing crazily, they were laughed at by everyone, including her.

but……

No one could have imagined that the country would suddenly take action at this critical moment.

This is what makes China different from other Western countries. Other Western countries are controlled by capital. Apart from the basic conditions of the country, the standard for measuring everything is the short-term interests of capital.

They might take action in one or two years, but a five- or ten-year plan...

Now that the president has changed, who will take action?
Ma Yunqiang watched the news for a long time...

Finally he lowered his head and looked out the window.

Outside the window, spring is in the air.

"I didn't expect that this time, the country's determination would be so great..."

Ma Yunqiang muttered to himself, then sighed.

The secretary was silent for a long time, but didn't say a word...

No one can predict the future, and no one will realize that China will attach so much importance to the photovoltaic industry...

"He won!"

After Ma Yunqiang said this, there was a sense of emotion and sigh in his voice, and at the same time, there was a complex feeling of miscalculation.

Just when I was about to turn off my computer...

He saw Zhang Yang on the news and actually stood up.

then……

Gave a speech.

And the camera actually gave Zhang Yang a close-up for a very long time.

....................................

"I have no other needs..."

"I need someone..."

"We [Shenglan Technology] have been researching and developing monocrystalline silicon since 05..."

"As we all know, R&D is very costly and time-consuming, and we need a lot of technical support and assistance..."

“In terms of equipment, we also need…”

"We are very poor at this stage. We need a lot of theoretical support. We have taken many detours..."

"..."

Some of the content can be included in the "News".

But some content, such as the [one-on-one enterprise assistance roundtable meeting] after the conference, is relatively confidential.

Zhang Yang and Diao Guangdou from Shenglan Technology sat on the chair.

Faced with such an occasion, Diao Guangdou was not good at speaking, so he could only stand next to Zhang Yang and repeat his ideas and needs to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded, took a quick look at the content and requirements of the speech, and stood up.

In a very straightforward, even plain voice, he looked at the leaders sitting in the most prominent positions at the round table.

Song Guifang from the Ministry of Commerce distributed the information of Shenglan Technology to other leaders.

The other leaders took a look...

They all nodded. In fact...

Everyone present has seen this information many times.

This time...

Song Guifang specially invited several of the most experienced semiconductor professors from Huaqing University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Yenching University and other universities in mainland China to the venue.

Diao Guangdou was very nervous, but he finally compiled all his research results from 05 to 08 into a detailed document and put it on the table.

The professors looked at each other and discussed...

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he nodded, and sometimes he sighed.

The discussion lasted a long time, and the content was something that even Zhang Yang couldn't understand...

But from the looks of these professors, Zhang Yang could see that Diao Guangdou's research was still very difficult...

One of the professors sighed, and when he saw Zhang Yang, he was silent for a moment: "Mr. Zhang, do you know what single crystal silicon is mainly used for?"

"Photovoltaic industry, and integrated circuit industry?"

"Yes, it can be used in this type of industry, but the core of single crystal silicon can be called part of the semiconductor field... Because the crystal structure is complete and free of impurities, it has high purity and thermal stability. Therefore, single crystal silicon is one of the basic materials for manufacturing semiconductor materials such as silicon wafers, solar cells, LEDs, integrated circuits, etc. In the semiconductor industry, single crystal silicon is mainly used to manufacture microelectronic components such as chips and transistors..."

After the professor finished explaining science to Zhang Yang, he finally sighed and said, "I admire that you have invested a lot of manpower and resources to break through the relevant technologies in the field of single crystal silicon. But, in fact, when I was in the United States three years ago, this technology was no longer news... From a technical perspective, the technology you have developed is already far behind."

"Mr. Zhang, why have we been relying on buying all these years? Because we have developed technology that is many years behind others. Although we have broken through the so-called technological barriers, the market is not what we thought it was... R&D technology requires a lot of financial support, so after it is put into use, the price is bound to be expensive... However, the West has more mature technology than us, but uses cheaper products to squeeze out the market we have already occupied... Do you think it makes sense?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Diao, I am very grateful that you have been insisting on research and development at this time. However, your research and development is worthless to me, the market, and the future prospects..."

"..."

"Reality is cruel. It's not too late to stop research and development now. Otherwise, from my professional perspective, you have already stepped into the abyss."

"..."

Song Guifang was stunned.

She looked at Professor Chen from Yenching University in front of her.

This person is one of the leading figures in the Chinese semiconductor academic community...

When we invited this professor over, he was very enthusiastic and said he would do his best to support the research and development.

But no one expected that at this moment, a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on the two of them.

However, she then narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Yang and Diao Guangdou.

After Professor Chen finished speaking, he handed the information back to Diao Guangdou.

Diao Guangdou's face turned pale, and he even trembled for a moment. Being refuted by such an important professor almost ruined all the possibilities that followed...

He lowered his head, and although he was unwilling, he suddenly realized that what the professor said seemed to be true.

Even if he develops it now...

The huge influx of costs and the crazy blockade of Western technology eventually crushed the market.

A technological breakthrough may be able to sustain a short period of catch-up, but there is no market support. Where will the funds for the second and third breakthroughs come from?
In this field, the gap between China and the United States is no longer small.

however……

At this moment, Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes.

“I’ll find the market!”

"How to find it? Photovoltaic industry? Mr. Zhang, I know a lot about the photovoltaic industry. The transistors in the photovoltaic industry are all made of polycrystalline silicon. Although monocrystalline silicon has high purity and good energy storage, its fatal problem is that it is expensive... What is the most important thing in the photovoltaic industry now? One is price, and the other is market... Even if China subsidizes the photovoltaic industry and uses national strength to support the industry, the price of materials will always be a problem... The price of one kilogram of monocrystalline silicon is close to $1000, while monocrystalline silicon is only $200 now. It will be even lower in the future. What do you think?"

"You said that monocrystalline silicon can be integrated into systems such as mobile phone chips..."

"As for the [MTK] system of the copycat phone, as the leader of the copycat phone, you should know that the material price of the [R&D Department] is much cheaper than yours... To put it bluntly, this is a dead end... The only way to solve the price problem is to sell a large number of units, but, Mr. Zhang, based on my understanding, you have completely lost cooperation with the [R&D Department]. The other party will not purchase your [monocrystalline silicon] materials, and you have lost the copycat phone market..."

The atmosphere was depressing.

Professor Chen looked at Zhang Yang coldly, and finally shook his head: "Young people's enthusiasm can last for a while, but the reality is very cruel..."

Diao Guangdou gritted his teeth.

I felt extremely unwilling.

But still kept his head down.

Professor Chen's words made the other professors nod in unison, with a slightly cold expression on their faces.

Song Guifang said nothing and did not come over to smooth things over. Instead, she stared at Zhang Yang and Diao Guangdou.

"Professor Chen..."

"Mr. Zhang, you said..."

"If I solve the sales problem, what kind of help can you give me?"

"..."

Looking at Zhang Yang, Professor Chen was silent for a moment, then laughed: "You still don't want to give up?"

"Yes!"

"How do you prove yourself and not give up at the critical moment?"

"I can sign a bet agreement!"

"..."

Zhang Yang was silent for a long time...

Finally, a long-prepared agreement was produced.

After seeing the agreement, Professor Chen nodded and then read it carefully.

When he saw the end, Professor Chen was stunned, then stared at Zhang Yang: "You are walking on a tightrope on a cliff..."

"Before I bet on the photovoltaic industry, I was walking on a tightrope on a cliff! If I win, everyone is happy, but if I lose, I will be defeated and fall into hell!"

"..."
