At the turn of the millennium and century, many industries have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The familiar ones are basically Internet-related industries, with at most one biotechnology added. But behind these popular industries, there are also many industries that have changed their faces. Among them - the energy industry!
As introduced before, due to the oversupply of oil and gas resources, the world's oil and gas market has become very cheap. Especially the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the development of large oil fields in the Caspian Sea and African coastal oil fields have led to an even greater excess supply of global oil and gas.
, it seems that this kind of cheap oil and gas can continue for a long, long time.
However, at this moment, no one expected that a certain Eastern dragon would start exerting force quickly, taking a breath of cuteness, and suddenly there would be massive demand. No matter how much oil and gas resources there are in the outside world,
, can’t satisfy the dragon’s appetite at all?
As a result, it immediately triggered huge changes in the energy market.
For example: The shale oil and gas field Li Yuan just acquired had no mining value at all before, but it soon became a hot spot.
Another example: the solar energy industry, especially the photovoltaic industry, has suddenly become an investment hotspot from the previous low ebb of development.
To be honest, we really cannot underestimate the heroes of the world. Such strategic changes have also attracted the attention of many developed countries.
Just around 2000, developed countries such as Germany, Japan, the United States, and Spain successively launched new energy subsidy policies, resulting in strong global market demand.
Because of this, this new energy technology exhibition was held in Munich and attracted the attention of manufacturers around the world...
…
Back to the present, although the global solar energy industry is gaining momentum, China is undoubtedly an inconspicuous little player. In other words, it is not even a small player. European and American countries do not take it seriously at all, and they are not qualified to play a small role.
.
Therefore, at this exhibition, the organizing committee arranged Phoenix New Energy in a corner.
Let’s be clear!
In the US area, EU area, sub-area, etc., Phoenix New Energy is arranged in "Others", basically arranged together with those scattered small manufacturers. And in the middle of "Others", the same arrangements are made
I found a small corner of the venue and didn’t think China could come up with any new technology.
So after the exhibition started, Li Xuesong, the manager of Phoenix New Energy, led a few employees and stood bored in front of the platform. There were no customers passing by at all. The only good thing was that the ice cream stall next door gave away a few ice creams.
This is not bad, after all, it is much better than domestic exhibitions. (Laughing and crying)
While eating ice cream, Li Xuesong looked up and suddenly saw Li Yuan and his wife: "Mr. Li, you are here."
Li Yuan looked at the booth and felt a little unhappy: "Old Li, what's going on? How to arrange it here? Is it necessary to save this kind of money? Why not rent a large booth in the center?"
After all, people are busy with many things, and Li Yuan doesn't care about everything. He didn't know that the booth would be so remote.
Li Xuesong quickly explained: "Mr. Li, I asked the organizing committee, but they refused to arrange it. We can't even spend money."
"What about more money?"
"I can't even add more money!" Li Xuesong looked aggrieved.
For various exhibitions, you do need to consider economic benefits, but you also need to consider taste. It is absolutely impossible for a no-name manufacturer like that that can't even compete with a small player to spend money to occupy a good position.
Li Yuan was also a little helpless: "Then why don't you post an advertisement? I heard when we set off that you made a big poster and hung it up?"
Li Xuesong was a little embarrassed and looked back at the booth: "Mr. Li, we tried it. Once the big poster was hung up, our entire booth was covered? And there are very few people visiting here. It's not that we don't post advertisements, and there are no advertisements at all.
Human?"
"..."
Li Yuan was completely speechless. Is this really a very real difficulty?
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let's do this! I will grant a special amount of funds, and you will arrange for people to go to the gate and give each visitor a small gift. Well...a small gift of 5 to 10 euros!"
"Oh! I'll arrange it right away!"
"..."
…
As introduced before, the most important markets for photovoltaic products are currently in Germany and Japan. Since these two major industrial countries are industrially developed but extremely lacking in traditional energy sources, and Japan and Germany have strong technologies, they both want
Seize this blue ocean market. Therefore, the subsidies are quite strong, and it is also the market with the largest sales volume of photovoltaic products during this period.
It should be admitted that in the original historical line, the rise of the domestic photovoltaic industry did rely on overseas markets during this period.
And the entire photovoltaic industry will suddenly explode. Within three or five years, sales will reach a hundred times. In more than ten or twenty years, it will even become one of the most important new energy fields.
In other words, in the blink of an eye, the photovoltaic industry will become as important as the oil and gas industry!
But no one expected it now? Except for a certain reborn idiot, no one can predict the future.
Therefore, even Li Yuan himself was unsure about this exhibition.
At the booth, there are nothing more than low-end efforts. As for Li Yuan himself, he wants to participate in some high-end games. He hopes to expand his influence as much as possible.
With the help of Bertelsmann Group, Li Yuan participated in a live interview program of RTL:
"Hello, Li. I heard that you have become the richest man in China for several consecutive years, setting a new record in China, and your personal assets are as high as 8 billion US dollars?"
"It's true. I was also the individual who lost the most money in China last year. I also set a new record in China, with a wealth loss of more than one billion US dollars."
The two of them burst into laughter.
This kind of talk show is mainly for entertainment, so it doesn't require serious answers.
Of course, Li Yuan was not wrong. As the Internet bubble burst, his personal wealth dropped significantly, and he fell to fourth place on the Chinese wealth list. Instead, it was a certain young lady who was just waiting to die. She actually
Bucking the trend, she rebounded and her personal wealth reached US$5 billion. Not only did she continue to be the richest woman in China, but she also rose to ninth place on the Chinese wealth list.
It can be seen that this Internet crisis has indeed had a huge impact on the upstarts in technology. However, traditional industries such as real estate, relying on the rapid development of the mainland, have bucked the trend.
"Li, we all know that your success relies on Parallel Technology. Now the global Internet craze seems to have ebbed. How do you think the Internet will develop in the future? Will it return to its past glory?"
"There is no doubt about it. If you don't believe it, please buy Parallel Technology shares as soon as possible."
Li Yuan joked again. Amid laughter, he continued: "In fact, the development of the Internet has just begun. In the future, it will enter every home, including most cars and home appliances. Even without the Internet, it will be
You will feel that life is very inconvenient.”
"Oh? Is that so? Can you give me an example?"
"Just talk about football!"
"Football? Internet?"
"Haha. Now in the Internet industry, the priority that needs to be solved is broadband technology, that is, fast transmission technology of audio and video. We will not discuss complex technical issues here. But with the Internet, live broadcast of events can be carried out..."
"Sorry to interrupt. Does our TV station also have the live broadcast of the football match you mentioned?"
"But your TV station only has one sports channel? If you want to broadcast it, you need to select the most exciting football match. And Internet live broadcast can theoretically broadcast every game. Especially it can also open a live broadcast room."
"Studio?"
"Yes! Your TV station's live broadcast is very professional, and you can invite experts and so on. Isn't that right? In the Internet live broadcast room, everyone can participate, learn from your live broadcast, and also invite other experts; it can be like a bar, with a group of rough guys
You can also use swear words; you can also live broadcast with beautiful women; you can even live broadcast with people who don’t understand football at all and turn it into a live talk show.”
The host was dumbfounded: "Sounds good. Beauty live broadcast...ahem. But will there be any audience watching in those live broadcast rooms?"
"It's very simple - survival of the fittest! Theoretically speaking, for a ball game, as long as there is a computer and a network cable, everyone can have their own live broadcast room. Everyone can be the host and let them PK on the spot. This is not
Is there any ratings problem? As long as you like, you can live broadcast to a group of dogs!"
The host laughed: "Good idea. I understand what you mean. There are football matches on the field, but there are also many live broadcast rooms competing for viewers off the field?"
"Yes! That's it. The winning live broadcast rooms can slowly turn into professional anchors, and the amateur ones will also have a sense of participation."
"Haha, it does sound fun. I seem to be yearning for it."
"That's good, but that's not the point." Li Yuan said with a smile, "Back to the question just now, due to the additional income from online broadcasts, the club's income will definitely increase greatly, and transfer fees and player income will also increase.
.”
"I understand what you mean. There will be a greater gap between wealthy clubs and civilian clubs in the future."
"That's true. So I hope my Sheffield United team can reach the Champions League. Defeat Bayern in the final and score a penalty kick at the last second!"
The two burst into laughter again: "Li, you are wishful thinking. As a German fan, I allow you the right to fantasize."
"..."
After chatting about Internet content for a while, the host changed the topic: "Li, your personal experience has been reported in the media. It is quite legendary! Are your deeds special in China?"
"It can only be said that it is relatively early! I admit, I am relatively smart!" Li Yuan said amidst laughter, "Actually, like many boys, I am more interested in high technology. When I was a child, I was interested in airplanes, cars, etc.
, I could spend a whole day just watching the big cranes at work.”
Amidst the laughter, the host nodded repeatedly. It seems that he is a boy and has such a hobby. Another hobby should be fishing... right?
"Then I became obsessed with the latest technology. The Internet boom should be regarded as an accident. I didn't expect to suddenly become a billionaire. I was just very interested! Oh, including other high-tech fields."
The host was surprised: "Are there other fields? Will it have the same craze as the Internet?"
"Of course there are, and there are many more. For example, you should all know about mobile phones. Siemens in Germany is quite famous, as well as Nokia in the European Union. In addition, there is the automobile industry..."
"Ah? Cars? Sorry for my ignorance, aren't cars a very mature industry?"
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Regarding the technological development of cars, there are still many gaps. For example: reversing radar? It can easily observe blind spots. It can also assist novice female drivers in reversing to prevent collisions, etc."
"Huh? Novice female driver? No way? You treat women...?"
"Uh...Okay! I won't admit it. It's just a novice driver! Haha. There are also electronic map navigation systems, touch screen panel collections, etc. More importantly, the development of electric vehicles can replace many
Most of the traditional fuel vehicles.”
"electric car?"
"Yes! I also own an electric car manufacturer called Qinglong Motors. I hope to build a few concept cars as soon as possible and participate in the nearest auto show!"
"I'm looking forward to your electric car. I hope it can be as successful as your Internet." The host smiled, "I'm curious, about your electric car, is it equipped with solar panels? Just like other electric cars.
.”
"Thank you." Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "As for the design of electric cars, we are keeping it secret for the time being. But on my Qinglong car, it still relies on traditional charging. As for the solar photovoltaic panels you mentioned, I also have a Phoenix
This new energy company is exhibiting at the Munich Exhibition."
"Really?" the host showed a surprised smile, "Is it being exhibited now? Has it been successful?"
Li Yuan nodded: "We already have very mature products, and we have built a solar farm in mainland China and successfully achieved commercial power generation."
"Ah?" The host was shocked. He never thought that China actually had such technical capabilities?
But fortunately, Li Yuan's identity can eliminate most of the doubts. So the host continued to ask doubtfully: "Li, what advantages does the solar farm you mentioned have compared with our Western manufacturers?"
"Of course it's cheap." Li Yuan said with a smile, "It's like what I said above - generating electricity through solar energy, and then charging the electric vehicle with energy, forming a perfect closed loop of clean energy. And I
Phoenix New Energy, in the field of photovoltaic panels, relies on China's cheap labor force to minimize costs and obtain the cheapest photovoltaic products! Haha."
