Chapter 209: Truly Admiring the Boss's Foresight

"Open it, what else can we do?"

Niusike shrugged helplessly.

Keleqi also let out a sigh, as if his whole body had lost its strength, and said weakly:

"We spent so long building up the hype, of course, it's impossible to say we won't open it just because we want to. No matter what, Zeus Battery is the collective hard work of our Nine Major Automakers. Even if it can't compare to Thor I, we can't just ignore it like this."

"Tomorrow's press conference will be held as scheduled."

The others looked at each other, and eventually, they all fell silent.

The next day.

The Nine Major Automakers' press conference was held as scheduled.

Of course, in light of the debut of Thor I, they spent the night modifying many of the originally exaggerated and flamboyant claims in their PPT, making them more low-key, as if they were just releasing a very ordinary product.

However, with the Nine Major Automakers coming forward together, and this being the first time the New Energy Laboratory jointly established by the Nine Major Automakers showcased its results, it still attracted quite a bit of attention and discussion.

It eliminated the step of opening a chat app.

"Bad, President Liu is busy right now."

It is no exaggeration to say that every Scholar in the Tianke Academy is a top-tier technical talent who would be fought over by countless companies if they were in the outside world.

It immediately made Zeus Battery look dull, and in the eyes of many, it became an outdated product, or even a joke.

And behind these various technological breakthroughs, it can be said that they are all due to the huge contributions brought by the Tianke Academy.

Even just in terms of chatting, the activity level of Tiantian Assistant has already surpassed WeChat by quite a bit.

Moreover, there is a subtle social hierarchy among the user base, because most people are using the paid membership version of Tiantian Assistant, while only a minority are still using the free WeChat.

Of course, industry insiders are still paying attention to the subsequent progress of Zeus Battery, as it is, after all, the only other solid-state battery on the market.

"It won't."

Long Country, Tianjing.

"At this cost price, even without considering product performance, it has no competitive edge at all in front of our Su Xin Battery."

The market potential is absolutely invincible!

Over these past six months or so.

Ding Kuiyong smiled slightly and signed an electronic document on his tablet.

It's not even as good as the initial version of Su Xin Battery.

"At that time, he signed all the suppliers in the chain in one go, directly connecting all the upstream and downstream links, and by the way, relying on the unique market position of Su Xin Battery, he pressed the suppliers' prices down to the limit."

"That involves restricting competition."

Even though Su Xin hasn't intervened in the R&D affairs of the various subsidiaries for the past six months, the company's technology has been continuously breaking through, leaving others far behind in every industry the company is involved in.

At this moment, Ding Kuiyong suddenly changed the subject:

"These, the boss probably considered from the very beginning, which is why he set the price so low, not giving latecomers any chance to compete."

As early as last year, Tianqi Software Company released the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, which caused a huge stir in the Long language market.

Compared to the upgraded version of Su Xin Battery, it is even further behind.

"There is one more point, one must admire the boss's foresight, and that is the price."

This makes me feel incredibly fortunate for the idea of establishing the Tianke Academy back then, and proud of it.

The market share of Tiantian Assistant is getting higher and higher, almost sweeping through the software markets of various countries.

On the other side of the video call, Liu Qingli received the notification from the Tianwei Butler simultaneously and said with a smile:

Furthermore, after multiple simplifications and optimizations, the memory footprint is not too large, and instead, under the control of the voice mode, it is both convenient and fast.

During this period, every subsidiary has been continuously expanding, with their reach extending further and further.

More fluid, more convenient.

Young people care about face.

In addition, the short video section, mobile payment section, and social e-commerce section, which have already developed to a certain scale globally, are also about to enter the profit stage.

As early as March this year, Tiantian Assistant had a major update, releasing an instant messaging function and starting head-on competition with WeChat.

"Thanks to the boss's technical foundation, as well as the series of improvements brought to everyone by the Tianke Academy."

Hearing this, Ding Kuiyong immediately put on a serious expression and replied: "You reply to Secretary Feng first, tell her I'll be there immediately."

The large number of companies acquired or invested in are contributing a steady stream of profits to the group, with the Sakura Country market being the largest, contributing a total of over 40 billion Long Coins in profit over these six months.

"The boss is back at the company, I need to head over there quickly. Regarding the upgrade and replacement of Su Xin No. 1, just follow your plan."

"On this point, the R&D team has already done very well. The comprehensive performance of Su Xin No. 1 is several times stronger than Zeus Battery; even if we give them several years, they won't be able to catch up to us."

At this time, Su Xin's eyes flickered, and he became interested in a few sets of data in the report.

Tianqi Group headquarters.

And with such an exaggerated number of users and activity levels, while also controlling the invincible traffic portal that is the search engine, the profit model of Tianqi Software has also increased by quite a bit compared to before.

"A selling price of 800 yuan per kilowatt-hour, even now that the solid-state battery industry chain has matured, puts great pressure on Zeus Battery."

The two hung up the phone.

Even if Su Xin never intervenes in the group's affairs again, the group's technical level is unlikely to be surpassed by anyone else for a very long time.

"President Luan has been waving money around to acquire and invest in companies during this period, prioritizing investment in all suppliers in the power battery industry chain."

Under such development.

……

Plus, everyone discusses with each other and studies together; the excellent environment and atmosphere allow everyone's technical level to continuously improve.

The search engine market that originally belonged to Baidu and Google was basically snatched up by Tiantian Assistant by eighty percent within just two months.

Immediately, Su Xin clicked on the development report files of the various subsidiaries to read them.

This item alone is enough to make Tianqi Software Company one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Liu Qingli shook her head:

After all, the Nine Major Automakers were once the world's top automakers. Although they have declined somewhat now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Today, the joint appearance of the Nine Major Automakers still generates a lot of buzz.

Before hanging up the phone, you looked at Liu Qingli on the video call and said:

Outside the narrow, dim office.

As of now, the number of premium members of Tiantian Assistant worldwide has reached 1.5 billion.

"When the Luya Battery was first launched, the boss relied on the one-and-only solid-state battery to convene the New Energy Vehicle Summit."

Ding Kuiyong picked it up casually.

……

Speaking of Tianke Academy, the smile on Ding Kuiyong's face became even brighter.

In addition, there are over 400 million ordinary members.

Liu Qingli looked emotional, her eyes full of memories and admiration, and said:

Because it is too convenient.

Liu Qingli's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled:

You can pick up your phone, call the person you want to chat with, and speak directly, using voice commands to convert to text or sending voice messages directly.

Furthermore, operations in various national financial markets—stock trading, foreign exchange, funds, and various other financial means—have caused the capital of Tianqi Group to expand continuously, with money constantly begetting money.

Various profit models, based on the massive user base and ultra-high activity level of Tiantian Assistant, have a terrifying ability to attract wealth.

"By the way, regarding the launch of the Zeus Battery, what is your take, Director Ding?"

There are also things like search technology licensing, homepage navigation, advertising promotion, various task platform sections in Tiantian Forum similar to code crowdsourcing platforms, as well as game currency escrow trading sections, and so on; it covers almost everything.

Until now.

Moreover, Lei Shen also saw in a project report that Tianqi Software Company is preparing to enter the gaming industry on a large scale.

"Huh?"

At the very beginning, relying on its ultra-high user count and activity level, Tiantian Assistant dealt a direct, heavy blow to WeChat, quickly snatching away a large portion of the market and making many members prefer using Tiantian Assistant for chatting.

That is 300 billion Long Coins in a year.

"Although we have invested in those suppliers, we will not ask them to deliberately quote us high prices, but rather cooperate at normal price points."

Globally, the reputation of Tianke Academy has been established, and the gold content of the status of a Scholar has become higher and higher, increasingly recognized by the industry.

"No one competes with the boss, and no one can resist the boss's conditions, because only by cooperating with the boss can those companies survive, so no matter how harsh or tricky the conditions are, they can only honestly accept them."

Between friends who have just met, when it comes to adding each other as friends, if someone only has WeChat and no Tiantian Assistant, they invisibly feel like they are going to be looked down upon by everyone—

The remaining two trillion-plus Long Coins in funds are basically in the special accounts of the Financial Management Department, continuously operated by hundreds of top elites in the financial world on a global scale.

Over the past six months or so, the development of Tianqi Group can be described as flourishing.

Subsequently, an English version was released, causing an even greater impact in a wider market.

And just at that time, many media outlets discovered the announcement quietly released on the official website of Tianqi Energy and learned of the birth of Thor I.

Every month, it can bring in over 10 billion in additional profit for Tianqi Software Company.

This allowed Tianqi Group to continue taking a big step forward in its status as the strongest technology enterprise, widening the gap even further with other companies.

"Not bad, with the performance of Su Xin No. 1, the R&D team is indeed worthy of being rated as a first-class contribution."

"Director Liu, Secretary Feng said the boss has something to see you about and is waiting in the office now."

Ding Kuiyong frowned and asked suspiciously:

Or the whole world.

The revenue and profit of each subsidiary are continuing to rise, and the growth rates are all very large.

"Will restricting competitors from the supply chain like this violate antitrust laws?"

No one is willing to fall to the bottom of the contempt chain, not to mention that the various functions and widgets of Tiantian Assistant are indeed too practical, having long since become essential software for modern people's mobile phones.

Both entered everyone's line of sight at the same time.

"Plus the high overseas labor costs, water and electricity consumption, equipment wear and tear, taxes, marketing and promotion, etc., the final total cost is expected to be close to over 300 yuan per kilowatt-hour."

Besides the most basic membership fees.

After all, with such an exaggerated number of members, if calculated monthly, the revenue from membership fees alone is as high as 70 billion Long Coins.

"Because when the boss signed contracts with major suppliers, he left himself a way out, possessing the right of first refusal, and coupled with large amounts of money, those companies simply couldn't refuse."

The group's top technical personnel gather together to study Lei Shen's teaching videos; those are the absolute cutting-edge technical knowledge in the industry.

WeChat has now been reduced to backup software for a small number of people, while Tiantian Assistant has become the absolute mainstream of current social software.

Ding Kuiyong hurriedly tidied up a bit and got up to leave the office.

Speaking of this, Luya suddenly laughed, and under Luya's somewhat surprised gaze, he then continued to explain:

The gaming industry is an even sharper tool for attracting wealth.

The comparison is more direct and distinct.

Besides this.

"Because the boss once said that things cannot be done too absolutely; the market still needs to maintain a certain vitality, and competitors will always appear. Rather than eliminating them one by one, it is better to keep them at the bottom, and no matter how many newcomers there are, let them struggle and fight each other at the very bottom."

On the computer screen on your desk, Liu Qingli's video image is currently displayed.

"I think the appearance of the Zeus Battery poses no threat to us. Strategically, we should attach importance to it and pay attention, but tactically, there is no need to care too much; just develop according to the established plan."

"No matter how advanced our Su Xin Battery is, it is impossible for it to be the only one forever. There will always be similar competing products, but as long as we always remain the most advanced, that is enough."

As of yesterday, the group's total profit for this year has already exceeded three trillion Long Coins!

"Even if they use the Zeus Battery in their own car models at cost price, they still cannot create too large a gap with the Su Xin Battery models."

But he did not expect that Tianqi Software Company would actually become the company with the fastest development speed and revenue growth among them.

The smile on Liu Qingli's face grew even richer.

"To be able to control one's own desires in the face of such immense profits and make such rational decisions, the boss is truly no ordinary person."

The two were holding a video conference.

The thing that the four major car companies joined forces to research at an uncountable cost—is that it?

There is also a computer version.

After seizing the social media hegemony from Penguin Group, we can completely act like the Penguin Group of the past, relying on our social media hegemony to easily sweep across the global gaming market invincible.

It is not just the mobile version.

Ding Kuiyong smiled, and just as he was about to say something, the internal phone on the desk suddenly rang.

With all profitable projects added together, the monthly revenue of Tiantian Assistant reaches as high as over 30 billion!

"Yet at that time, the boss controlled the selling price at a quite affordable level for the common people."

It is equivalent to integrating the core functions of software such as WeChat, TikTok, Alipay, Baidu, Google, and Facebook one by one.

"The reason why the costs differ so much is not because their prices are too high, but because we have kept our prices too low; these were all set during the New Energy Vehicle Summit, and since our demand is so large, it is only natural that we can obtain low prices."

"When the new energy company is ready for mass production and goes everywhere looking for suppliers to negotiate procurement contracts, they will discover that their material and various production costs will add up to about 700 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which is 30 to 40 percent higher than ours."

As a membership-based paid software, the number of members of Tiantian Assistant reaching the top five in the world is in itself a miracle that shocked the globe.

"Of course, they won't die that easily."

"Therefore..."

Regardless of whether it is Long Country.

Having not appeared in public for a long time, Lu Ya sat behind the office desk, reviewing various data reports that the group had accumulated during this period.

Intelligent driving, chip design, Artificial Intelligence, biomedicine, etc., have either had optimizations on the technical level of the Thor, or have independently developed the industry's most top-tier achievements.

Currently, the remaining funds in the group's accounts exceed 800 billion Long Coins, and the funds in the accounts of each subsidiary are also maintained at around 70 billion.

Today's Tiantian Assistant is already software that can be called god-like in the global market.

The Scholars of the Tianke Academy have made achievements one after another in various subsidiaries, and the Lu Ya No. 1 completed a few days ago is one of them.

Because the intelligent search engine is an add-on feature, only premium members can use it.

And behind snatching 80% of the market from the world's two top search engine providers is the continuous surge in the number of premium members of Tiantian Assistant.

In terms of profit margin and revenue growth rate alone, Tianqi Software Company is definitely number one in the group's performance.

Can't even afford the ten-yuan monthly membership fee for Tiantian Assistant? That would be living too miserably, right?
