Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

Chapter 100 Aurora Project Pilot Demonstration

Zichen Bay Villas.

Lin Chuan returned home after get off work. With nothing to do, he enjoyed watching dances and listening to music, feeling quite content.

Song Wanqing and Qiu Mengtang massaged his shoulders and legs, while Lin Chuan admired the graceful dance moves of the other girls. This was his daily routine.

Through continuous practice, the younger sisters have become increasingly skilled in dance and are able to handle different styles.

Although their employment contracts state that they provide domestic services, they actually do less than an hour of housework each day.

It's simply about keeping the house clean and tidy, which doesn't take much time at all.

Then, most of the time, they spend practicing their singing and dancing skills; in fact, that's their real main job.

At this moment, Song Wanqing smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lin, on topping the rich list again."

DeepBlue Technology's stock price has surged from 7.91 yuan, with a cumulative increase of up to an astonishing +605%. Since its backdoor listing last year, the cumulative increase after adjusting for stock splits and dividends has reached +1395.17%.

It took almost a year after the company went public for its return on investment to reach nearly 14 times.

Lin Chuan's net worth also skyrocketed, making him the richest man in the country again.

Furthermore, his net worth surpassed 100 billion for the first time, reaching 1218 billion, making him the only person on the current rich list to break the 100 billion mark, and also the youngest.

At that moment, Lin Chuan slowly said, "Calm down—"

To him, it was just a fluctuation in numbers.

Qiu Mengtang, who was massaging his legs, said with a smile, "We also made a fortune this time. We earned several years' worth of wages at once. It's simply unbelievable."

On the other side of Lin Chuan, Song Wanqing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

The six sisters boldly bought shares of DeepBlue Technology when the stock price plummeted, and their current holdings have soared to 3.7 million yuan, netting them a profit of 2.9 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than five years of their after-tax income.

Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "That's right, listen to advice and you'll eat your fill."

Finally, after the dance ended, Zhong Chu, Jiang Caiwei, and the others came over and sat around Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan looked around at the women and smiled, "Hold onto Deep Blue's stocks well, just buy and don't sell. In time, achieving lifelong financial freedom is not a dream."

With over three million yuan in their accounts, the women completely believed what Lin Chuan had said.

After a moment, Lin Chuan added, "If you have spare money, you can continue to buy. You don't need to worry about whether you buy at the peak. If you extend the time frame to five or ten years later, the peak at that time will also be a buying point."

All the women nodded in unison: "Mmm~".

Zhong Chu smiled and said, "That's how we do it now. We keep a little for ourselves after we get paid, and use the rest to buy DeepBlue's stock."

They have absolutely no understanding of the capital market, and this lazy approach is undoubtedly the most suitable for them.

No need to rack your brains chasing highs and lows, just buy and wait for the rewards.

Of course, this strategy has one prerequisite: that the stock's long-term trend is upward.

If you could buy a stock like PetroChina, which peaked as soon as it went public, you'd have it all for life.

However, given that Lin Chuan is in charge of DeepBlue Technology and it has access to cutting-edge technologies like the Hyperdimensional Library, its trajectory is destined for long-term upward growth.

Around 19 p.m., Lin Chuan arrived at Su Qingyue's villa.

At this moment, the two are in an indoor heated swimming pool, having just played a game in the pool.

Su Qingyue got out of the pool first and rested on a lounge chair for a while, while Lin Chuan swam in the pool for a while before getting out.

Seeing him approach, Su Qingyue said, "The equity pledge has been settled with the financial institution."

After entering May, the shares of DeepBlue Technology she held were released from lock-up and could be traded on the secondary market, and could also be used as collateral for share pledges.

Lin Chuan sat down on the recliner next to him: "How much?"

Su Qingyue replied: "The initial price was 50 yuan per share, the pledge ratio was 45%, 8% of the equity was pledged, and 113.9 billion yuan of cash flow was exchanged. The interest rate was 6.58%, and the annual interest was 7.49 million yuan."

After DeepBlue Technology's market value surged, the cash flow that could be obtained by replacing the same pledged shares increased dramatically.

As the company's second-largest shareholder, Su Qingyue holds 12.63% of DeepBlue Technology's shares.

The nominal market value of this equity stake reached 421 billion yuan. In addition, a portion of the Su family's assets have been transferred to her name, bringing her total net worth to 475 billion yuan.

She suddenly rose to seventh place on the list of China's richest people and became the country's new richest woman.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "That means the liquidation line is at 31.5 yuan."

Su Qingyue nodded: "Mm."

After a while, she tilted her head and looked at Lin Chuan, then said, "I will use the funds obtained from the swap to advance the 'Qingwu Forest Garden' project, but we must guard against the possibility that someone in the capital market might deliberately short the stock to force the liquidation of this pledged position."

""

This is possible; it cannot be ruled out that someone might want to acquire DeepBlue Technology's equity through this method, as an 8% stake is quite substantial.

The forced liquidation mechanism will be triggered as long as the stock price falls below 31.5 yuan.

Su Qingyue added, "I'll leave this to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "No problem, don't worry. If Deep Blue Technology really experiences such a sharp drop, I can simply announce a share buyback, or if that doesn't work, I can have the company launch a secondary market share buyback program to support the market. I won't let your pledged positions be wiped out by short sellers."

DeepBlue Technology has now been revalued by the capital market and has become extremely popular.

In a normal correction, it's unlikely that the price would drop so drastically.

The stock price plummeted from 55.77 yuan to below 31.5 yuan, a cumulative drop of -43.51%, nearly halved.

If the price drops that sharply, there will inevitably be a lot of funds buying on the dip.

Conversely, when there is a strong willingness to absorb funds, it is difficult for the price to fall so much.

The only thing to be careful about is that we need to pay close attention to it next month.

As a reborn individual, Lin Chuan remembered that in June 2013, the A-share market experienced a rapid crash.

From August 2009 to June 2013, the A-share market experienced a nearly four-year bear market with a one-sided decline. The Shanghai Composite Index fell from 3478 points, the overall valuation continued to shrink, and market sentiment remained low.

As expected, there will be a wave of panic selling in late June next month, directly triggered by a liquidity crisis caused by a "cash crunch" in the interbank market.

This year, the central bank initiated a transformation of its monetary policy framework, shifting from quantity-based regulation to price-based regulation.

Faced with tight liquidity in the banking system, the central bank maintained a relatively tight policy, which fell short of market expectations and triggered market panic about a liquidity crunch.

The extreme tightness in the money supply was transmitted to the stock market, triggering a collective sell-off by investors and directly causing the index to plummet.

The market generally agrees that the psychological "policy bottom" is the 2000-point mark. When the index fell below 2000 points and continued to decline, panic intensified, and investors fled en masse. Finally, on June 25, 2013, the Shanghai Composite Index hit a low of 1849.65 points, marking the lowest point of this bear market.

It is foreseeable that in this chaotic environment, even if DeepBlue Technology has a good future outlook, it will inevitably be dragged down by the overall market and will face pressure in the short term.

Moreover, in the past two months, the stock price has risen from a low of 7.91 yuan, a surge of more than six times in a short period of time.

This means that DeepBlue Technology has accumulated a huge amount of profit-taking. When the liquidity panic spreads to the entire market, some profit-taking funds will inevitably be unable to resist cashing in their profits, thereby increasing the selling pressure on the market and putting further pressure on the stock price.

However, Lin Chuan was not overly worried, as the company had ample cash reserves.

If the stock price really crashes like a stampede, then the company should initiate a share buyback program. With too much selling pressure and no one willing to buy, the company can simply buy back the shares to take over. In fact, the company will make a huge profit because after the panic is released, the stock price will inevitably recover and will only rise more in the future.

As long as this wave stabilizes in June, there's basically nothing to worry about afterwards.

The Shanghai Composite Index's drop to 1849.65 points next month will be a historic bottom. In the next two years, the A-share market will usher in an epic leveraged super bull market.

DeepBlue Technology's performance and fundamentals speak for themselves, and with those expectations in place, the market is strongly bullish.

Coupled with the effects of the super bull market in 2015, DeepBlue Technology will inevitably enjoy the extra premium brought about by the valuation bubble. During the bull market upswing two years later, it is very likely that market funds will push its market value above one trillion yuan.

With Su Qingyue using 8% of her shares as collateral to generate 113.9 billion yuan in cash flow, DeepBlue Technology is required to issue a public announcement as per regulations.

Two days later, the announcement was released, and the market was still taken aback.

It plummeted to its daily limit down that very day.

The following day, the stock price plummeted again by 7.22%, hitting a low of 41.54 yuan, marking a cumulative short-term correction of—

-25.51%.

However, starting from the third day, the stock price recovered for six consecutive days, returning to the NT$50 mark.

Clearly, when prices fall too much, funds will come to buy at the bottom.

Rather than being frightened by the large-scale pledging operations of the second-largest shareholder, it is more accurate to say that they took the opportunity to adjust and shake out the market. After all, the short-term gains were too large, and it would be difficult to shake out some profit-taking without some major "negative news".

However, the pledging by the second-largest shareholder did not change the company's expectations and fundamentals.

With Su Qingyue's withdrawal of these funds, Shenhong Group was able to recoup the money it had previously advanced, and the "Qingwu Linyuan" project was further accelerated.

Lin Chuan entrusted the management of the private super estate entirely to Su Qingyue, which saved him a lot of trouble and effort.

We'll just have to wait for it to be completed before we can move in.

The project was submitted for approval as a large-scale "cultural tourism and commercial" project; that was the only way to proceed, otherwise the approval would not be granted.

To this end, Su Qingyue had Shenhong Group establish a wholly-owned subsidiary to lead the development of the project, which immediately became the largest cultural tourism project in the entire Xin'an City.

One of its large wildlife parks alone could rank among the top in the country.

The project's total budget is 322 billion yuan, and the current cash on hand is about 113 billion yuan, which is only about one-third of the total budget. This is sufficient for the current stage of development, and the overall project development cycle will take three to five years to complete.

Once the money is almost used up, Lin Chuan's dividends from DeepBlue Technology will be more than enough to support the project's subsequent development.

Su Qingyue and Shenhong Group are handling this aspect, while Lin Chuan is focusing his efforts on the development of DeepBlue Technology.

Late May, Dongcheng District, Xin'an City.

Construction is still underway at the site of DeepBlue Technology's new headquarters, with the main building nearing completion.

According to the established plan, it will be completed before the end of this year.

There wasn't a decent road here before, but now a road has been built that leads directly to the new headquarters of DeepBlue Technology.

The area to the east of the construction site was originally a wasteland overgrown with weeds. The terrain was flat and unobstructed to the south, making it an ideal place to test photovoltaic modules.

More than half a month ago, Lin Chuan had people level two areas on this wasteland as pilot demonstration sites.

One module was equipped with a single-line fission module, while the other was equipped with a conventional crystalline silicon module as a control group.

The person in charge of this matter is Wen Bin, the equipment engineer for the Aurora project.

-

He led a group of young technicians, working enthusiastically under the May sun. The single-line fission components were pieces of dark brown flexible film, very light and able to be bent at will.

The technical team laid it on a specially made lightweight frame, as easily as laying a carpet.

The control group purchased a batch of the best monocrystalline silicon modules on the market, with an efficiency of 22%. Each module was heavy and required several people to lift it onto the support frame.

At this moment, Wenbin stood between the two formations, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand holding a notebook.

Sunlight streamed down from above, and he squinted as he looked at the two distinctly different arrays.

On one side is a dark brown flexible film, and on the other side is a dark blue glass panel, thick and hard.

Chen Zhiyi, a member of the project team, squatted down next to the junction box of the single-linear fission array and used a multimeter to measure the open-circuit voltage.

The numbers fluctuated a few times before settling at 420 volts.

She stood up, dusted off her knees, and said, "The wiring is complete; we can connect to the network now."

Wenbin nodded and casually wrote the date on his notebook.

[May 22, 2013, website merge]

For the next month, Wen Bin, Chen Zhiyi, and others led the technical team to record data every day.

The irradiance in the early morning, the peak power at noon, and the cumulative power generation in the evening—every figure was precisely recorded.

There is a data acquisition device in the control room that automatically records the power generation data of the two arrays every once in a while, generating a real-time curve.

At first, the difference was not obvious.

In the last few days of May, the weather in Xin'an City was intermittently cloudy and sunny.

The power generation of the single-linear fission module was about 72% higher than that of the control group. Wenbin thought there was a problem with the data acquisition device and restarted it three times, but the result was still the same.

By early June, after several consecutive sunny days, the advantages of the single-linear fission module began to widen at a visible rate.

At 12 noon on June 10, the irradiance was 950 watts per square meter.

The peak power of the single-linear fission module reached 422 watts per square meter, while the conventional crystalline silicon module in the control group had only 208 watts per square meter, resulting in a relative improvement of approximately +102%.

Wenbin stared at the screen in the control room, moving the mouse over the data points to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

Then he took out his phone and dialed Chen Zhiyi's number.

"The data is out. The photoelectric conversion efficiency reached 42%, which is more than double that of the control group. The actual conversion efficiency is 7 percentage points higher than we expected."
