Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The trip to Europe after the plague went quite smoothly. Qu Li was warmly received everywhere. The reason was simply that he could mobilize too many social resources.

For example, although Qu Li could not build a car factory in Greece, he pushed Yinghe Telecom to invest in a data center there and also asked Honeycomb Energy to invest in power infrastructure. Time Cloud wants to expand cloud services for Europe in Greece to satisfy European customers. Demand for artificial intelligence computing power.

This is no small project. Greece still needs to import electricity, but cloud computing and large models require computing power support, and the power consumption is staggering. So what should we do? We have to create conditions even if we don’t have the conditions.

Qu Li has been planning since he bought the island in Greece. The addition of Honeycomb Energy virtual battery and the introduction of domestic integrated wind, solar and thermal power station technology have accelerated Greece's new energy power supply, which now exceeds 50%.

Quli also built a submarine optical fiber here to connect florists. Not only that, he also established an energy network for cross-sea power transmission and imported photovoltaic power from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey into the country to meet market demand.

Thanks to the foundation laid by Qu Li over the years, Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have entered the market one after another, which not only enhances the confidence of the Greek court, but also makes them expected to become a digital economy and energy power in southern Europe.

Honeycomb Energy's virtual power plant company has invested in a large number of power plants here. Yinghe Telecom has become a good partner with Cosmote, the largest operator in Greece. Deutsche Telekom is the major shareholder of Cosmote. Yinghe Telecom has taken advantage of the trend to become the largest data center company. Yinghe Real Estate bought I bought a lot of properties...

Quli's companies not only have a large number of employees in Greece, Time and Glory have also trained hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, professional and technical personnel, and more entrepreneurs. Therefore, Greece is the first country to introduce the Oasis vaccine. They have huge trust in Qu Li and regard him as half one of their own.

Time Cloud’s other data center node in Europe is the Netherlands. Because it entered the market relatively early, it occupies a position among the three ultra-large-scale data centers in the Netherlands. The other two are Microsoft and Google. Amazon and Facebook have no chance. They are in the Netherlands. It also has several small and medium-sized data centers.

And then there's Ireland, another important data center node in Europe. No matter where it is, Honeycomb Energy’s virtual power plant and power generation and energy storage solutions have played a huge role and are inevitably mentioned many times.

Honeycomb Energy is now one of the world's largest power and energy storage battery companies, and Europe may also be the world's largest virtual power plant, with technical advantages in new energy and energy storage power stations.

As a consumer electronics company, Honor has invested a lot of money in the new energy vehicle industry. It was not popular at first, but now it is gradually seeing returns and achieving fruitful results.

Honeycomb Energy's revenue last year exceeded 300 billion RMB, which made up for the losses caused by the fluctuations in the Japanese and Korean smartphone markets. Coupled with the growth of Huaguan's business, Honor's revenue last year exceeded 300 billion US dollars.

However, they have been considering whether to introduce European capital and let Honeycomb Energy operate independently so that it can build factories in Europe and provide products and services to friends. In addition to providing parts and components, Huaguan can also adapt Kunlun systems to car companies. , to enhance the smart cockpit driving experience.

The businesses of Honeycomb Energy and Huaguan have long entered the European market, and they also have some cooperation with General Motors and Ford in North America. For example, Qiancheng Geometry opened patents and taught the technology to General Motors, helping them create a hot-selling model, but the Geometry Y6 /G6’s technology was quickly upgraded...

I don’t know what GM thought. Anyway, there was less cooperation later. They mainly purchased LG’s soft-pack batteries. With the popularity of Geometry cars, many European car companies accepted square-case batteries and purchased them from Honeycomb Energy and CATL.

In addition to investing in and building a factory in Hungary, Honeycomb Energy is preparing to build a factory in France; CATL has gone to Germany to help them build a new energy vehicle industry chain so that European car companies will not collapse.

As for cloud computing, there are also opportunities brought by large models. Time Cloud has definitely seized it. The demonstration effect of Fanxing Fund is very significant, which shows that Time Cloud has the ability to provide the world's first-class artificial intelligence large models, including becoming an autonomous driving computing power center. .

Geometry's video generation capabilities have made the world re-recognize Geometry cars. I thought they were not as good as Tesla FSD, but I didn't expect that they were holding back a big move. This made Zuckerberg, who had just announced his abandonment of the Metaverse, regretful, and soon announced an extremely radical artificial intelligence investment plan.

Text-generated videos represent that the content of the metaverse will become extremely rich, and it also represents that industrial simulation and auxiliary design will enter a new era. Huang Renxun, a leather-clad man from Nvidia, said: "Computing power is power."

Ordinary people don’t know whether this sentence is true or not, but there are always people who know. Computing power: refers to the processing power of a computer, including CPU, GPU, NPU, TPU, etc. Computing power not only affects scientific research, engineering design, medical diagnosis and other fields, but also plays a key role in economy, politics, military and other aspects.

Power: Power is the ability to make decisions and control over resources. In the information age, having powerful computing power means being able to master more information, analyze data better, make decisions faster, and thus gain greater power.

This is an era where the strong get stronger. Time is building factories in Europe to serve European companies and countries and improve their overall strength. Therefore, Yingjiang does not restrict Time Honor’s overseas branches from purchasing NVIDIA hardware, but it will not let you send home.

It is hard to say whether countries will launch an arms race in computing power. It may require further upgrades of the large artificial intelligence model, and it may require a killer application based on the large model, but this day will definitely come.

Therefore, Weizhi, which was spun off from Honor, is very important. It has CPU/GPU/NPU smart cockpit, data center, artificial intelligence dedicated and other types of chips. It originally also had Haowei CMOS, but it was worried about affecting the sales of Honor mobile phones and cutting off the market. Got out. It is not wise to become a professional chip design company, oh, it seems to have a semiconductor factory.

Power semiconductors such as IGBT and semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide will continue to remain in Huaguan. New energy and three electric systems are available, and battery cells need to be purchased from Honeycomb Energy.

Quli’s subsidiaries can be said to be the essence of domestic Internet technology companies, accounting for half of the country, including Time, Glory, Future Geometry, Galaxy Power, Oasis Biotech, and Kingsoft Software.

Kingsoft's game business revenue is still the largest source of profit; but Kingsoft's office software and security business are ranked first in the country; the cloud computing market share is close to 10% of Juhua, and it is in love with Juhua Cloud in the market; it is oriented to enterprises On the other hand, the operating system supported by the three major technology giants has also become the first in the country.

Although Qu Li is basically indifferent now, his existence is like a flag, affecting many things in all aspects and maintaining the stability of the company. As long as Qu Li is still there, time, glory, and future will not be in turmoil.

In a sense, Qu Li is a national treasure, so when he was about to leave for the United States, he was stopped by the relevant departments and returned home temporarily. (End of chapter)
