The RSS base is a gathering place for big shots.

Even a fool would know they're all after Lu Yiming.

As for their purpose in coming here.

Netizens started wildly speculating.

meeting room.

Mr. Ma accepted the tea offered by Zhanma.

After taking a small sip, he smiled faintly and said, "Good tea!"

Hear this.

Warhorse's lips twitched slightly before he could even leave the meeting room.

No one was drinking tea at the club.

This tea leaf is used by the chef to make tea eggs.
Lu Yiming didn't want to waste any more time.

Who knows how many more people will come today?

He looked at Mr. Ma and said, "Mr. Ma, you didn't come here for solid-state batteries, did you? I remember your company didn't have any plans to manufacture cars!"

Solid-state batteries were released at the end of September.

Lu Yiming had anticipated that this situation would occur.

I just didn't expect it to be this late.

I originally thought he would be busy after the press conference.

Hear this.

Mr. Ma slowly shook his head and said, "I didn't come here for the batteries. I just happened to be passing through Shanghai. Although we don't have any plans to manufacture cars, it's not impossible for us to start if we can join forces with Mr. Lu!"

Mr. Ma speaks at three-quarters the speed of a normal person.

This is an intentional slowing down of speaking speed.

It can make people feel relaxed.

I just happened to be passing through Shanghai.

Lu Yiming had lost count of how many times he had heard this.

Insincerity is what Lu Yiming dislikes most.

Let's talk business if we have something to discuss.

However, these people seem to be used to leaving important matters for last.

Lu Yiming didn't intend to continue indulging him.

He immediately said, "Okay! How about we get straight to business? I have to do a live stream later!"

Mr. Ma shrugged and gave a "as you wish" look.

After thinking for a couple of seconds, he said, "That's right! The main reason I came here is to seek in-depth cooperation regarding the artificial intelligence Bai Ze!"

Deep cooperation.

These four words highlight a subtlety.

It didn't say how deep it was.

They didn't specify their demands either.

Basically, the bottom line is on Lu Yiming's side.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Can't we just talk to President Cao about this? Or is there something President Cao can't agree to regarding President Ma's request for deeper cooperation?"

Regarding Bai Ze.

Several collaborative projects have already been launched.

It involves several leading companies in this field, including those in healthcare, image recognition, software engineering, data mining, and data science.

Bai Ze is also one of the most profitable achievements of the current Fanxing Group.

It has been less than a month since it was released.

The signed contract brought Fanxing Group a cash flow of tens of billions of yuan.

This is just an advance payment.

Cao Siyun has conducted market research.

Conservative estimates suggest that Bai Ze will be able to survive for the next three years.

It can bring at least hundreds of billions of yuan in net profit to the Fanxing Group.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a money printing machine.

Regarding Lu Yiming's words.

Mr. Ma readily nodded in agreement.

He then glanced at his assistant.

The assistant took a document from his briefcase and placed it on the table.

Mr. Ma then reached out and pushed the document in front of Lu Yiming.

He then said, "Please take a look at this contract, Mr. Lu!"

The business structure of Mr. Ma's company.

The core is e-commerce plus logistics.

E-commerce and logistics account for about 80 percent of his company's revenue.

of course.

You can make money in finance.

However, the overall environment made him somewhat hesitant to fully utilize his abilities.

Currently, all major internet companies are pursuing a complete business ecosystem.

Mr. Ma was no exception.

The core of a business ecosystem is data and traffic sharing.

This contract is nothing other than...

They hope to obtain limited usage rights to Bai Ze.

wrong!

Limited usage rights are what Cao Siyun is currently working on.

Lu Yiming carefully read through every word of the contract.

Now I know why Mr. Ma came to our door directly.

The current cooperation model that Cao Siyun is developing.

It is a customized right to use Bai Ze for companies seeking cooperation.

But what Mr. Ma wants is...

Users have a certain degree of autonomy when using Bai Ze.

I didn't turn to the last page of the contract to see the conditions set by Mr. Ma.

Lu Yiming closed the contract, pushed it in front of President Ma, and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry! This contract is definitely unworkable! You should know that Bai Ze is not someone I can control at will!"

Lu Yiming lied about that.

The current version of Bai Ze is not the same as the original Bai Ze.

Who do you want to collaborate with?

How to cooperate.

As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, Lu Yiming can make the decision.

Hear this.

Mr. Ma was not too disappointed.

Instead, he had an expression that said, "I knew it all along."

He then spread his hands and said, "You're also feeling restricted and unable to act freely, aren't you? I can really empathize with you! We're the same kind of people."

These words made Lu Yiming's eyes sharpen.

He then interrupted, saying, "Excuse me! I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Ma! If your issue is just this contract, I think we can stop here for today!"

Lu Yiming's change in attitude surprised President Ma.

He had done his homework before coming.

From supercomputing to artificial intelligence.

Lu Yiming's investment resume is that of an investment genius.

If not all results are traceable.

He even suspected that Lu Yiming might be an alien.

Let's talk about the latest solid-state batteries.

It's safe to say that everyone in the tech world knows that solid-state batteries are definitely the future.

But with technology, there's no guarantee of a response without spending money.

It's common for ten out of ten investments to result in a loss.

According to Lu Yiming's intelligence...

As young people, it's only natural to have some resentment.

But at this point, he was still in the very early stages of testing the waters.

You could say you didn't say anything, you just started.

Lu Yiming seemed to have guessed what he was going to say next.

This left Mr. Ma somewhat puzzled.

However, since they've already given the order to leave...

Mr. Ma, of course, wouldn't be so tactless.

Although confused by Lu Yiming's attitude, he still got up to say goodbye.

Before reaching the door.

He turned to Lu Yiming, who hadn't gotten up, and smiled, "By the way! Here's the invitation to the Bund Summit. I bet you haven't received it yet. If you have time, you can come and take a look tomorrow. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"

Done.

Mr. Ma placed the invitation on the bookshelf by the door.

He then walked out of the conference room with his assistant.

A long time passed after the door was closed.

Lu Yiming got up and went to the door.

The invitation that Mr. Ma put down after receiving the money.

Look at the words above.

He immediately laughed and said, "There are some things I can do! But I can't say about them!"

Done.

Lu Yiming threw the invitation directly into the trash can next to him.

at the same time.

Mr. Ma and his assistant got back into the car.

The assistant turned to Mr. Ma, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said with a worried expression, "The other party refuses to cooperate! What about the board of directors?"

Before the assistant could finish speaking...

Mr. Ma waved his hand to stop him, saying, "It's alright!"

It would be a lie to say that nothing's wrong.

Starting from the official debut of the artificial intelligence Bai Ze at the end of September.

Their company's stock price was also affected.

No, that's not right. It should be said that the entire artificial intelligence industry has lost hundreds of billions in less than a month.

The car drove out of the RSS base's yard.

We drove toward the hotel.

at this time.

Mr. Ma opened his eyes and suddenly said, "Do you think he'll come tomorrow?"

Hear this.

The assistant immediately replied, "Probably?"

Tomorrow's summit.

It can be described as a grand event for the domestic technology and finance sectors.

The reason Lu Yiming wasn't invited was because President Ma had deliberately kept the invitation letter, intending to personally invite him.

This answer pleased Mr. Ma.

He immediately shook his head and said, "No! He most likely won't come! But it's a good thing he doesn't come!"

After saying this, Mr. Ma looked out the window.

His eyes were full of confidence.

There's also a sense of determination to win.
That afternoon.

The RSS Club has been welcoming waves of visitors.

Don't know why.

Lu Yiming felt that they had planned this in advance.

No sooner had one person left than another arrived.

until evening.

Finally, no one called anymore.

Relieved, Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Looks like I really shouldn't have started that!"

Ultimately, it should be after Mr. Lei successfully visited.

This caused all these people to flock here.

Tomorrow's summit.

Their claim that it was "on their way" was not just an excuse.

I raised my wrist to check the time.

It's almost lunchtime.

Lu Yiming immediately got up and left the conference room to go to the lobby on the first floor.

Come to the hall.

SMLZ stood calmly in front of Lu Yiming.

Just as Lu Yiming was wondering what this guy was up to.

SMLZ said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu!"

sorry?
This inexplicable apology left Lu Yiming completely bewildered.

restaurant.

Lu Yiming sat in the main seat.

After learning the whole story, he looked at SMLZ and smiled, "Apologize for this?"

SMLZ nodded slightly.

Actually, he only realized that the surge in viewership in the live stream might cause trouble for Lu Yiming.

Just as Mr. Ma appeared.

He ended the live stream abruptly.

He watched as SMLZ nodded.

Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing! It's not like it's anything shameful!"

This made SMLZ breathe a sigh of relief.

eight pm.

Lu Yiming's live stream hasn't started yet.

If I don't ask for leave on a given day, I usually start broadcasting around 8 o'clock.

Therefore, many viewers are waiting for him to start his live stream.

They were also discussing why Lu Yiming had received so many big shots at the club that afternoon.

Most people guessed it was about tomorrow's summit.

After all, Lu Yiming is in Shanghai, and this is the only thing he can be connected with these people.

Regarding Lu Yiming's position in the eyes of his fans.

They are already on par with Jack Ma and Pony Ma.

But in the eyes of ordinary netizens.

Lu Yiming is still just considered a streamer or internet celebrity.

At best, he has the identity of an entrepreneur.

There's still a gap between us and the two Mas (Jack Ma and Pony Ma).

at this time.

The live broadcast room suddenly lit up.

Looking at Lu Yiming appearing in the live stream.

Viewers flooded the chat with questions they wanted to know.

The most frequently asked question was about the purpose of these big shots' visit in the afternoon.

Lu Yiming's most outstanding trait is his pampering of his fans.

He calmly replied, "It's nothing! We were just discussing cooperation! We had a press conference for solid-state batteries at the end of last month, right? Mass production is on the horizon now, and we're looking for some companies to partner with. We'll see if we can hold a product launch event around the end of the year!"

Say something.

The viewers were really surprised that Lu Yiming would respond.

And even if they responded, that's another story.

Is this something you can say in a live stream?
Compared to ordinary netizens.

They are paying close attention to Lu Yiming's businesses.

The messages pushed to them by big data will naturally be as relevant to Lu Yiming as possible.

Take this solid-state battery for example.

Many people in the tech community have already released videos to explain this.

Let’s put it this way!

Once mass production begins.

The world will be significantly changed because of this battery.

Holy crap! Mass production is happening so soon? I thought it would be years!

Is it going into mass production? Does that mean I'll soon be able to buy an SUV with a 2,000-kilometer range?

A 2,000-kilometer range is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? 1,500 should be no problem!

[Upstairs! Based on the data from President Lu's previous press conference, 2,000 kilometers is the standard version!]

[Excuse me for asking! Mr. Lu, can you manufacture power banks? I heard that you can make power banks the size of charging heads using solid-state batteries, but with a capacity of at least 20,000 mAh! I'd allow it to sell for 499!]

[Upstairs! Who needs a power bank anymore! Once solid-state batteries are mass-produced, charging your phone once a day will no longer be a dream!]

【.】

The topic in the live stream was completely steered off course by Lu Yiming's words.

The viewers forgot the question they wanted to ask.

All attention is focused on solid-state batteries.

Facing enthusiastic fans.

Lu Yiming nodded and smiled, "This product launch is to showcase the performance of solid-state batteries and also to advertise the batteries themselves. I believe that starting next year, we can completely say goodbye to power anxiety!"

The anxiety about electricity use is not what Lu Yiming actually wanted to say.

For example, the false proposition that electric vehicles are environmentally friendly.

Everyone knows this, but no one dares to mention it.

Solid-state batteries are zero-pollution, recyclable, and have no risk of spontaneous explosion.

These three points alone are enough to outperform traditional lithium batteries.

Not to mention it also has a smaller size and greater energy storage capacity.

It's safe to say that solid-state batteries will revolutionize the battery industry; it's a foregone conclusion.

at this time.

The viewers in the live stream got excited by Lu Yiming's words.

of course.

Some people are worried that the price will be too high.

After seeing the comments, Lu Yiming admitted, "It will definitely be expensive when it first comes out! But as the industry upgrades and production capacity gradually increases, the price will drop to a reasonable level in a few years."

Lu Yiming paused for a moment at this point.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Don't worry! It will definitely not be cheap at the beginning! But it will definitely not be so expensive that you can't afford it. After all, my purpose in investing in research and development is to change the world with technology, not to monopolize the world with technology."

Regarding pricing.

Lu Yiming has already discussed this with his superiors.

The price will be ten times that of a traditional lithium battery of the same weight.

Currently, the cost of a 1000-degree lithium battery is around 50,000 yuan.

Solid-state batteries of the same weight have at least 300 degrees Celsius of power.

Selling for 500,000 might sound expensive.

But you should know that 300 degrees Celsius means a range of more than 2,000 kilometers!
It's even possible that with some training, it could run 3,000 kilometers.

In fact.

Once solid-state batteries are mass-produced...

The cost is lower than that of lithium batteries.

This price is also intended to alleviate conflicts with the overseas lithium battery industry.

At the same time, it's also about making a profit in foreign trade as early as possible.

Lu Yiming's fans believe what he says.

They all looked forward to this day.

soon.

Viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream.

They began making various suggestions regarding the product launch event.

Also, regarding solid-state batteries.

Because Lu Yiming mentioned it in the live broadcast.

It also became a trending topic that night!

The title also borrows from something Lu Yiming said in the live stream.

Technology is changing the world! The era of ending battery anxiety is coming! (End of this chapter)
