The Growth of the Richest Man - Chapter 223
During this time, Zhang Yong’s Angel Island factory has been purchasing low-density, high-strength, and high-priced raw materials such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, glass fiber reinforced plastics, and even graphite fibers on a large scale. These materials are not high-tech materials that are particularly difficult to produce, nor are they important to the country, or materials that must be kept secret, and there is no international ban on sales, but the problem is that these materials are expensive. Zhang Yong used a lot of these materials for the construction of houses on Angel Island, making the houses strong and light. However, the materials that Zhang Yong bought seemed to be a bit too much, exceeding the quantity needed for building a house. !
Now, as soon as the news that Zhang Yong is going to engage in aerospace comes out, many professionals have discovered the problem. These materials are all raw materials for making rockets and other aerospace equipment! For example, Elon Musk is an expert in this area. He is working on the “Building Mars” fantasy. Although Elon Musk sold his Tesla to Zhang Yong, he still runs his Mars exploration. SpaceX. Zhang Yong wants to enter the universe now, isn’t this robbing Chi Guoguo of his business?
Elon Musk isn’t particularly worried, though. His company, with the support of NASA, signed a formal contract with NASA in 2008, and NASA will entrust the mission of transporting materials to the International Space Station, and even transporting people, to Elon. Musk does it. Zhang Yong has the support of the Mexican Space Agency? Sorry, what the **** is the Mexican Space Agency…
The materials for building a rocket are not particularly difficult to obtain, but the most difficult thing to build a rocket is actually the early design of the rocket. Elon Musk believes that it is almost impossible for Zhang Yong to come up with rocket design drawings without any experience. Even if he does, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years.
Rocket manufacturing is divided into two stages: rocket development and finalized production. The hardest thing is rocket development? Sorry, Zhang Yong has no pressure on rocket development at all, because for him, he has ready-made design drawings for aviation equipment! Perhaps, it is not a ready-made blueprint. His blueprints are more advanced than the most advanced rockets of this era. He needs to downgrade those blueprints to a level acceptable to people in this era. After launching the current blueprints , and will gradually upgrade to more advanced varieties in the future.
After there is no problem with the drawings, the rocket manufacturing has entered the stage of real manufacturing. After the drawings and raw materials are available, the pre-production of the rocket requires a few steps of forging and casting blanks, sheet metal forming, and CNC milling to transform the raw materials into a cylindrical shape with the shape of the rocket. Although these productions are very difficult, the technical difficulty is not much higher than that of those shops that provide sheet metal for vehicles. It can be said that it is just a large sheet metal factory.
The raw materials of the factory are still being purchased, and the production conditions and production facilities of the factory are constantly being improved. Soon, on May 20, 2011, Zhang Yong’s daughter, Judy, turned one year old.
Zhang Yong held a very grand birthday party for his daughter Judy. Many movie stars and politicians attended the banquet, even people like Buffett and Soros also attended the banquet, which made this banquet very special. The grand and the face. As a one-year-old child, the reason for getting such a big sensation is Zhang Yong’s face, but Judy’s own face is also there. She is now a famous star, very famous “Zootopia” was her “debut”, although she did not actually appear in the film.
But as the daughter’s first birthday, how can only so little activities be enough? Although the scale of this event is actually not small. But Zhang Yong wants to promote his daughter’s popularity to the whole country, even the whole world, so that the whole country and the whole world know his precious daughter. Zhang Yong’s approach is very simple: his most famous product is the Hammer mobile phone, so he released the Hammer 4 mobile phone on his daughter’s birthday.
The children actually look alike. Originally, Zhang Yong wanted to use his daughter’s head as the trademark of the Hammer 4 mobile phone, but because children are really not recognizable, he used a more famous image as the trademark, which is her The rabbit named Judy by her daughter.
In September 2010, the Hammer 3s mobile phone was launched, but the Hammer 3s mobile phone was a very failed product. In the early days of the Hammer 3 mobile phone, the monthly sales could reach about 10 million units. In the later period, especially in the last month, due to the impact of the Apple 4, the sales of the Hammer 3 mobile phone dropped significantly. But the Hammer 3s mobile phone, in addition to the sales of 9 million units in the first month, the sales volume has been declining rapidly every month. By now, in May 2011, the monthly sales volume has even been less than 2 million units.
Experts commented that although the Hammer 3s mobile phone is said to be an upgraded version of the Hammer 3 mobile phone, the Hammer 3s mobile phone has basically no real changes, just some minor changes. I have to say that many experts are still a little level. At the beginning, the launch of the Hammer 3s was because the Hammer 4 mobile phone could not be launched on time, so Zhang Yong came up with a temporary rescue move. However, now that this situation has been discovered~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the sales volume of the Hammer 3s mobile phone is indeed a bit low, even when Zhang Yong has to carry out a lot of price-cutting promotions, the profit of the mobile phone is reduced. Further decline, otherwise the sales of mobile phones may be even lower.
The biggest advantage of the Hammer series of mobile phones is that its battery life is particularly strong. This generation of Hammer 4 mobile phones continues to take advantage of strong battery life, and now the battery power is nearly 50% higher than that of the previous generation. Generally speaking, the power of the battery is related to the volume of the battery, but only the battery power of the Hammer mobile phone is not completely related to the size. The biggest feature of Hammer mobile phone battery is that although its battery is mainly lithium battery, it adds some materials to improve battery efficiency that can only be produced after 10 years.
This generation of Hammer mobile phones was introduced by Zhang Yong with wireless charging technology. Now the mobile phone can be charged in a non-contact way, which is much safer than charging through a data cable. There are some black technologies that can even steal the information in the mobile phone directly through the wire, so it is not safe to use the data cable to charge. But now this non-contact charging method is very interesting for people who have high safety requirements for mobile phone performance. For ordinary people, the increase in the battery capacity of mobile phones is already a good request. For more demanding professionals, wireless charging is a more refreshing concept.
In addition, this generation of Hammer mobile phones has also greatly improved in terms of mobile phone capacity and pixel resolution. The improvement in all aspects makes the Hammer mobile phone area no longer the change without real hammers that the previous generation experts said. Well, these changes are real hammer changes.
