"President Chen."
It was around two in the afternoon, not yet time to start work.
He Yu arrived briskly with Yifei Company's business reports and statements from this period.
"Wait a second!"
Chen Yi did not even raise his head. Holding Xia Keke's phone, he was controlling Lu Bu as he caught the isolated Luban No. 7 and hacked at him.
His first skill's Flash hit, enchanting his halberd. One strike, two strikes, then a critical hit.
In just a few blows, Luban met his end on the spot.
Before the first skill's enchantment ended, Chen Yi controlled Lu Bu to leap with his ultimate, plunging directly into the nearby team fight.
A sweep of his halberd, followed by his first skill, then his second skill to stack shields and slow them down, followed by basic attacks that landed a critical hit.
Within seconds, the enemy mage, jungler, and support were killed on the spot, leaving only Cheng Yaojin to activate his ultimate and flee frantically.
"Damn it, are these people all just tickling them?
They fought for so long and still couldn't even force out Cheng Yaojin's ultimate. Trash teammates like this don't deserve to win!"
Seeing his pentakill run away just like that,
Chen Yi ignored his teammates' signals at the dragon pit and chose to return to base on the spot.
"Hey, hey, hey, Boss, don't, don't! This is my promotion match to King rank. A quadra kill is already pretty good. Regret is a kind of beauty too."
Seeing her boss about to go AFK at the fountain despite having a massive advantage again, Xia Keke, the owner of the game account, hurriedly called out from the side.
"I'm done playing. This trash game ruins my youth and wrecks my mood."
Chen Yi tossed the phone back to Xia Keke. "Play it yourself. We're more than eight thousand gold ahead. Just aim at their damage dealers when you use your ultimate in team fights."
As he spoke, Chen Yi ignored Xia Keke's cries and turned his gaze toward He Yu, who was waiting nearby with a document folder.
"Manager He, have a seat. The company's development has been fine recently, right?"
"No problems."
He Yu sat down as instructed and took out the report in her hands. "Following the directives you gave some time ago, President Chen,
we have stopped the drone engine business and now specialize in high-end materials.
The company is now independently operating its low-temperature thermal-strengthening materials, supplying them specifically to businesses that need them.
Over the past few days of business development, Yifei's materials division has successively signed more than a dozen contracts.
Based on the contract amounts, next month's revenue will exceed two billion.
According to the marketing department's assessment, within another two months,
the low-temperature thermal-strengthening materials business will stabilize at four to six billion.
If we can further improve the durability of the low-temperature thermal-strengthening materials and bring them up to the strength of true titanium powder alloy,
then conservatively speaking, this part of the business can bring in more than twenty billion in monthly revenue. Even reaching thirty billion would not be a problem."
Without looking at any reports, He Yu gave her report with a thorough grasp of the figures and performance.
"Not bad.
As for improving the materials' durability, I won't interfere.
Have Yifei acquire several metal laboratories to carry out the follow-up research and improvements."
Chen Yi flipped through the report, then changed the subject. "What about battery production?"
"The high-energy batteries you gave us before, President Chen, have completed trial production after this period of overtime work.
Based on the factory's current scale and the batteries' energy density, annual production capacity will reach 80 GWh.
Based on the 58.97 GWh of power battery installations in the first quarter, this capacity can meet 30 percent of market demand.
In addition, I have drawn up a series of capacity expansion plans. Production capacity is expected to reach 300 GWh next year."
"Overtime trial production?"
Chen Yi frowned and tapped his fingers on the table. "Yifei can now begin setting up laboratories for more in-depth research into carbon-silicon lithium batteries.
I told you before that I will no longer be responsible for subsequent research.
Also, there is a problem with your estimate of market demand.
Carbon-silicon lithium batteries have a higher energy density. At the same size and weight, they have greater capacity.
But in order to meet consumer demand and compete in the market,
even with carbon-silicon lithium batteries, new energy vehicle manufacturers will not reduce the weight of their battery packs.
They will only use carbon-silicon batteries to replace the previous lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium batteries.
They will launch a brand-new new energy vehicle centered on carbon-silicon lithium batteries, with a pure electric range exceeding 2,000 kilometers.
In that case, demand for this new carbon-silicon lithium battery market should not be calculated based on current demand. It should be five to ten times the current level."
"I understand. I'll revise the market plan later and report back to you."
He Yu carefully wrote down Chen Yi's instructions.
"When are you planning to hold the launch event for the new batteries?"
At that moment, Xia Keke, who had successfully reached Star Glory rank, brought over a pot of tea.
Chen Yi took the teapot and poured He Yu a cup. "And when will the supercomputer I asked you to order be in place?"
"The preparations for the launch event have already been completed.
Since you said you would host it personally, President Chen, we are waiting for you to set the date.
The preliminary work for the supercomputer order has also been completed.
Sugon Information replied that they can deliver it for installation and calibration within the next couple of days."
"Since everything is ready, let's set it for the day after tomorrow."
Chen Yi thought for a moment. "The launch event will begin promptly at ten in the morning the day after tomorrow. I'll host it.
Make it sensational, shocking, and down-to-earth.
As for the supercomputer, follow up on that promptly as well. It will be the main base of my studio going forward."
A supercomputer, including the racks, motherboard chips, UPS emergency power supplies, various cables, and so on, weighed dozens of tons or even over a hundred tons.
The three-story building Chen Yi currently lived in simply could not bear that kind of weight.
If he wanted to install the supercomputer, he could only find another location.
"Understood. I'll come pick you up for the launch event the day after tomorrow, President Chen."
After noting these matters down, He Yu took out the final report. "President Chen, this is the stock option allocation plan you previously instructed us to formulate, along with the information on the employees receiving options. Please review and confirm it when you have time."
Chen Yi accepted the report and flipped through it for a few moments.
Besides He Yu, the general manager, familiar longtime employees such as Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke were naturally on the list.
"Leave it here. After the battery launch event, I'll give you an answer and announce it. The effect will be best then."
Chen Yi put away the report without rushing to sign it. Rising to his feet, he looked at He Yu and said, "If there's nothing else, Manager He, go back and get to work. I have some things of my own to handle."
"Yes, President Chen."
He Yu opened her mouth as though she still had something to say, looking hesitant.
But in the end, she lowered her head and chose to take her leave.
"Boss, Manager He has been so busy lately that she seems a little anxious."
Watching He Yu's departing figure, Xia Keke thought for a moment before speaking to Chen Yi. "I heard that the workers from Yifei's old workshop have been working overtime for more than ten days straight."
"You think Manager He hasn't done her job well?"
Chen Yi glanced at her. "How about I put you in charge of all of Yifei Company's business?"
"No, no, no, Boss, absolutely not."
Xia Keke jumped in fright. "I just think Manager He's way of doing things clashes a little with your personality, Boss. It doesn't really fit Yifei's cultural values. I just wanted to remind you and ask whether you wanted to straighten her out a little."
"I think it clashes with your personality. Manager He is fired up, which only makes you look even more like a salted fish."
Chen Yi smacked Xia Keke lightly on the head, then went over to the parts rack and picked out several solar panels.
"I'll be busy these next two days. Other than the launch event the day after tomorrow, don't come looking for me unless it's important."
As he spoke, Chen Yi found his ion-propulsion drone, removed its casing, and connected the solar panels in his hands to it.
[Item: Ion-Propulsion Drone] [Attributes: Energy x1.8, Speed x1.6, Quality x21, Stability x2.6, Strength x14, Communication x31.7, Radar Imaging x36.6, Avionics x34.5, Appearance x3.8, Endurance Replenishment x4.6] [Note: This is a uniquely designed ion-propulsion aircraft, but unfortunately, its energy is not fully loaded. Blindly increasing the endurance replenishment modules has also caused stability, speed, appearance, and other aspects to decline sharply, making normal flight impossible.]
"It increased the endurance. Looks like my line of thinking was right."
Chen Yi ignored the evaluation in the note, removed the solar panels again, and took the drone and panels upstairs to the second floor.
This month, he had gone to Rongfei and led a group of experts and professors in working on aircraft for more than twenty days.
His own premium ion-propulsion drone had been left alone for over twenty days after its test flight data was collected.
Now that he was back, it was time to refine and improve it.
Sorry, I went out this morning, so the update was late.
