Solutions to Deep-Sea Fishing

Chapter 95 Solutions to Deep-Sea Fishing

After the press conference ended, a queue had already formed backstage at the exhibition hall.

Media reporters, carrying their equipment, crowded to the front, snapping photos incessantly around the lit-up prototype.

Someone had already started playing the keyboard. Overwatch was running on the screen, with ray tracing and super-resolution lights on, and the frame rate was steadily increasing.

Several foreign journalists in the back row huddled together, whispering rapidly, occasionally uttering an "unbeliev" or two.

Words like "able" or "able".

Yang Yi stood to the side of the stage, still holding the glass of warm water that Shen Xiao had handed her.

He didn't rush to the exhibition hall. Instead, he leaned against the steel frame of the side screen to recover his strength, watching the crowd surge towards the prototype.

Quite a few people came over to hand over their business cards.

Most of the tech industry leaders didn't go to the backstage area of ​​the exhibition hall to join the fun.

They stood up from their seats, straightened their suits, walked to the side of the stage, handed Yang Yi their business cards, said "Mr. Yang, until we meet again" or "Congratulations," and then turned and left.

They walked at a brisk pace, some even taking out their phones as they went, dialing numbers before they had even left the venue.

Everyone knows that a technological breakthrough of this level cannot be fake.

With over 20 billion yuan in annual revenue, Beehive Games has no reason to ruin its future with something like this.

Besides, the samples are right there in the showroom, and the media has already started taking pictures. It won't take more than two days to verify their authenticity.

So all they have to do now is go back to the meeting.

Hold strategy meetings, product meetings, and supply chain meetings. Try to get a share of this upcoming technological revolution, or at the very least, maintain your current position.

Chip distributors need to rearrange their product lines, OEMs need to recalculate costs, channel partners need to renegotiate pricing, and automakers need to rethink their battery solutions. Each line affects a whole group of people, and if one line is disrupted, the whole thing will fall into chaos.

The guests in the first row paused for a moment as they passed Li Bin's seat.

Someone bent down and whispered something to Li Bin, who nodded without looking up.

Another person walked by and patted him on the shoulder lightly, just a quick tap, and then continued walking.

There weren't many fools present.

The moment they saw the data from the swarm battery, everyone knew that this car company was about to be crushed.

The battery swapping model itself was designed to gain market share by addressing "range anxiety," but swarm batteries have completely eliminated range anxiety. How can the battery swapping model still sell?

The problem is that if the future collapses, the upstream and downstream industries will collapse along with it.

Upon returning, Li Bin will face not only the restructuring of his own products, but also inquiries from suppliers and adjustments to production lines.

The investor's phone call.

One press conference, and a car company is dead—this sounds exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, it's hard to say how many of these bigwigs will be able to sleep well tonight.

I went out to watch the jokes at the game company's tech launch, but ended up becoming the biggest joke myself.

It's true what they say, "You're just sitting at home when disaster strikes from the sky."

Yang Yi watched those figures disappear at the exit.

He looked away and turned to walk backstage.

Shen Xiao peeked out from the corridor, holding a glass of warm water in her hand.

"Let's go eat," Yang Yi said.

Shen Xiao followed, walking beside her, her high heels clicking softly on the corridor floor. After a few steps, she asked, "Why didn't you chat with those big shots a little longer?"

"They don't have time to talk to me right now." Yang Yi took the water glass from her and took a sip. "Right now, all they can think about is the meeting. They'll come to me after the meeting."

"Who says I'm not free! I'm more than free!"

Before anyone could be seen, Lei Zi's signature voice rang out.

Yang Yi quickly turned around, smiling as she extended her hand.

Lei Zi had a strong grip; when he shook hands, it was with a warm, steady force, and his smile had that genuine "I've got you" expression.

"Mr. Lei, would you like to have a chat? Have you eaten? Shall we go grab something to eat together?"

Lei Zi chuckled and released his grip: "Perfect timing. I've always heard that your Beehive has great benefits and the cafeteria is up to four-star hotel standards. I can go and see for myself today."

Since Lei Zi has taken such the initiative, what else is there to say? Let's go.

Yang Yi turned to Wang Teng and gave him a few instructions, telling him to keep an eye on the exhibition hall and make sure nothing went wrong. Then she took Lei Zi and left the convention center.

Lei Zi spoke up in the car: "Is your branch president also named Wang Teng? What a coincidence, isn't it? I have a successor I really think is also named Wang Teng."

Yang Yi chuckled and said, "Really? What a coincidence!"

Wang Teng and Yang Yi knew Da Mi all too well; Lei Zi from their past lives had praised him a lot in public, but the results weren't great.

it is good.

But this wasn't the time to talk about that, so Yang Yi steered the conversation back to business, casually mentioning the reactions to tonight's press conference before turning the car into the parking lot downstairs at Beehive.

The peak dining hours in the cafeteria had passed, with only a few employees sitting around working overtime.

Yang Yi led Lei Zi to a booth by the window. There was no fancy setup; it was just a few dishes freshly cooked by the cafeteria chef, plus a pot of clay pot soup.

Lei Zi ate heartily, his chopsticks never stopping. Halfway through his meal, he leaned back in his chair and remarked, "Your cafeteria is really something else, it's like a buffet that costs two or three hundred yuan outside."

These words struck a chord with Yang Yi. At his level of wealth, money was no longer of much use to him; he could have whatever he wanted.

Fun fact: One hundred million in interest would generate nearly ten thousand in interest per day, and the earnings from Overwatch alone could earn Yang Yi at least 150 million in interest per day.

Just like Brother Ma said, he's no longer interested in spending money.

What truly motivates him now is a sense of accomplishment. He hopes to be written into history books one day, and the company's benefits, which surpass those of its competitors, are at least a moderate achievement.

Yang Yi suppressed the slight smile on his lips, picked up the soup bowl and took a sip: "There is room for improvement, there is room for improvement."

No wonder he's a man so poor he only has 40 billion in his bank account.

Really good at complimenting people.

"We've almost finished eating. Mr. Lei, is there anything you'd like to discuss?"

Lei Zi saw the barely suppressed smile on Yang Yi's face and knew that his flattery had worked.

He quickly pressed on, asking his own question: "Sometimes you have to admire Huawei's sensitivity; she can establish a cooperative relationship with the bee colony so early."

"I wonder if Mr. Yang's production capacity can cover rice production?"

Yang Yi, with a knowing look on her face, picked up a soup ladle and ladled a bowl of soup for Lei Zi: "Production capacity can cover the costs, but the price isn't cheap. The price of rice—"

He didn't spell it out explicitly, but the meaning was conveyed.

Recently, the rice company has been discussing ways to elevate its brand image and strive for a high-end image.

Lei Zi felt this was a great opportunity. Being able to use the world's strongest battery, on par with the Huawei Mate series, would mean that the Mi series was a high-end phone.

Moreover, it's easier to raise the price; we've used the world's best battery, so what if the price is a little higher?

The matter couldn't be kept secret, so Lei Zi simply spoke frankly: "Our Rice Digital series plans to target the high-end market. I think the price of the batteries is acceptable, and Rice can do the same."

Yang Yi didn't mince words: "For the Mate series, they increased the battery compartment space by about five percent. The cellular power supply can achieve 10,000 mAh. What will the battery compartment space be in your next-generation Mi 9?"

Believe it or not, Yang Yi really did use a Mi 9, which has a capacity of about 3000 mAh?

According to Yang Yi's rough estimate, the bee colony should be able to reach around 6000.

Lei Zi gave a number.

Yang Yi wrote it down on her phone and forwarded it to Zhao Mingyuan.

A minute later, a message came back saying that, based on the battery compartment space of the rice, the swarm could achieve around 6,500 mAh.

Lei Zi was silent for a moment after receiving the feedback. His expression didn't seem like disappointment; it was more like he was calculating something.

Yang Yi could tell what he was thinking—if you didn't know that the Mate series had a 10,000 mAh capacity, 6,500 would definitely be a satisfactory number.

But people are afraid of comparison. Huawei announced 10,000 mAh first, and Miwei announced 6,500 mAh later. When the data was compared, Huawei was at a disadvantage.

Lei Zi gritted his teeth, as if making a decision: "President Yang, let me go back and revise the plan to see if I can make some more room for maneuver. I still hope to reach 8,000."

Yang Yi nodded: "Sure. And our batteries are slightly lighter than current lithium batteries on the market, so you can re-engineer them..."

"And since you've decided to go with an 8000mAh battery, I'll give you a price in advance."

Yang Yi took a sip of the soup from the earthenware pot, then did a quick calculation and gave a price of 72.

"This is what Hua found out for you. We hit it off immediately, and I don't want to give you any different brands or prices."

o

"There's not much room for price reduction, but if the rice purchase volume reaches 4000 million, I can lower the price to 70. The more you purchase, the cheaper the price will be."

This price really surprised Lei Zi. Huawei has only announced that it will be used in the Mate series. He thought that the purchase price of a single battery would be 120 or more, and he was prepared to be ripped off.

The final price is 72, and there are discounts for buying more!

kind!

What else is there to say, brother? You are my half-brother, Lei Zi's own brother!

He was about to make a decision with Yang Yi, but thankfully she rationally advised him: "We haven't even allocated any storage space to the phone yet, what's the point of making a decision?"

That dispelled Lei Zi's impulsive thoughts.

With no other way to repay the favor, Lei Zi decided to subtly convey to Yang Yi, his junior, the survival strategy of domestic enterprises.

To prevent Yang Yi from causing any major problems.

"Mr. Yang, I'm so much older than you, but I really treat you like a younger brother."

"These words are for the older brother to hear, so don't tell anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi realized there was a hidden meaning in the words and quickly adopted a posture of listening attentively.

Lei lowered his voice and leaned closer to the table, as if he were talking about some shady deal: "Our country is very big. The bigger the country, the more Pokémon there are. The highland ranches over there aren't doing very well economically, so they like to go out to sea to fish, especially in the coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong. The bee colony is now attracting a lot of attention, so you need to be careful."

Yang Yi was deeply moved upon hearing this.

In my past life, I had heard about various local animal protection efforts and deep-sea fishing expeditions.

Is it my turn now?

Of course, Yang Yi was not completely unprepared.

"Brother Lei, I'm aware of this matter. I've also taken some precautions. I've put all the patents in an independent overseas company called Bee."

"It's all under the royal family's control; all patents in the country are authorized by Bee Queen." He paused, then looked up at Lei Zi, "Do you see any other patches that need to be applied?"

Lei Zi's expression visibly relaxed after hearing the arrangement. He nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"You did a great job." Lei leaned back in his chair, slowing his speech.

"It's not that we don't care about the country, it's just that some people often use disgusting tactics to compete in business."

However, you might not actually be affected. The technology you possess is too important; so important that most Pokémon wouldn't dare to touch you.

He paused for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice: "But there are always some Pokémon that are stubborn. If you don't give them a clear signal, they'll think they can give it a try."

My suggestion is—start a small, controlled discussion and voice your dissatisfaction. The higher-ups will quickly step in to resolve it, and then you only need to subtly express your discontent, and everything will go smoothly afterward.

Yang Yi nodded upon hearing this. It was indeed a good idea. He was currently feeling quite resentful and just needed the right opportunity to ignite it.

Lei Zi has managed to develop steadily for over twenty years, which is quite remarkable. He has used the national policy of using internet celebrities and Redmi phones to combat counterfeit phones to solidify his position.

His approach does have many merits.

If it weren't for the wrong thing I said before I traveled through time, coupled with poor management and insufficient finances in some areas...

It might even develop better.

Yang Yi was not a fan of Mi; on the contrary, he hated Mi 8.

However, Lei Zi's smart home products and miscellaneous items have indeed improved people's quality of life considerably.

A single power strip directly challenged Bull's monopoly, driving down the price of power strips by more than half. In this respect, Mijia is a god.

Seeing Yang Yi deep in thought, Lei Zi didn't say anything more. He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, chewed it, and then added, "Alright, we've finished talking about the important stuff. You know what's going on."

Yang Yi picked up her teacup and raised it towards him: "Thank you, Brother Lei."

Lei waved his hand, picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat: "Don't thank me, this meal was worth it."

After that, Yang Yi and Lei Zi's conversation mainly consisted of casual chat, with the occasional mention of the cooperation between the two companies.

After dinner, Lei Zi also finalized the deals for the BeeLink and BeeSense technologies.

"This Beehive Technology press conference was broadcast live the whole time. I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to check on the netizens' reactions. I'll have to do a live stream later to talk about it."

"Mr. Lei, would you like to join in the fun?"

Lei Zi became interested upon hearing this. If we were to talk about the most popular entrepreneurs on the Chinese internet, Lei Zi would be number one, Yang Yi would be number two, and Luo Yonghao would be number three.

He absolutely has to join in this fun!

Yang Yi gave Lei Zi a heads-up beforehand: "Brother Lei, I'm young and impetuous, and the price announced today is indeed a bit high, so the atmosphere in the live stream might not be very good."

"You'll have to be understanding!"

At this point, Lei Zi stepped forward and shook Yang Yi's hand: "Brother, I understand this feeling all too well. Every time a new phone is released, the pricing is a disaster. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so eager to break into the high-end market."
