Chapter 1: The Loser
Between buildings at sunset.
Zhou Zhen sat alone on the roof of a building.
If you look down, you will be busy with traffic and fireworks in the world.
It's just that this has nothing to do with Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen felt that his life was simply sad.
became famous at a young age, and with a lot of enthusiasm, he founded a panel company.
And relying on the R&D team led by himself, the ultra-flexible OLED screen developed by him has become a rookie in the industry and a frequent visitor to many science and technology exhibitions.
At the time of the scenery, many investors saw the potential of the company behind Zhou Zhen and followed the investment, making the Rouyu Company founded by Zhou Zhen appear in the industry.
It's just a pity that the high cost investment brought by high research and development has made the new ultra-flexible OLED screen not a favorite of mainstream manufacturers due to its high cost.
Not only did the screen not sell, but the company accumulated a series of inventory.
In the end, other international manufacturers came from behind and produced the same excellent flexible OLED screen, which put Zhou Zheng and the team behind him into a dilemma.
R&D requires costs, but inventory cannot be sold, and at the same time, it has been surrounded and suppressed by mainstream international manufacturers.
In this situation of internal and external troubles, everything collapsed.
After the investors who came here saw Zhou Zhen's predicament again, they resolutely chose to withdraw their capital.
Zhou Zhen was unwilling to admit defeat in his heart, and borrowed funds to forcibly continue his life for the company.
It's just a pity that the international manufacturers have already grasped the situation and firmly controlled the upstream supply chain, which made the company in Zhou Zhen's hands even worse.
In the end, Zhou Zhen was in debt, his wife divorced, the company was acquired by an international manufacturer, and the R&D team that had followed Zhou Zhen with high spirits finally chose to disband.
The rupture of the dream made Zhou Zhen feel what it means to be like a dead heart.
Even Zhou Zhen is obsessed with drinking to kill his sorrows, and he always has to deal with the group of debt collectors.
"At that time, we had the most advanced technology in the world, why didn't we succeed, did I lack some luck?"
Zhou Zhen held the bottle of liquor and sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the sunset in the distance at this time, he couldn't help but scold to God.
After all, Zhou Zhen has worked hard, struggled, and is equally chic.
was once the pride of the sky in the mouths of others, but the final outcome was tragic.
Zhou Zhen felt that the times had played with him, making him famous and standing at the top.
But he suddenly made a joke with himself, and let himself fall into the abyss, unable to extricate himself and unable to resist.
It would be nice to go back in time......
Zhou Zhen often has such thoughts in his heart.
It was just that he was left behind by Zhou Zhen in an instant.
The wind that was about to enter the night slid across Zhou Zhen's face with a hint of coldness.
made the drunken Zhou Zhen sober up a little.
Zhou Zhen staggered and held his head with his hands, ready to leave the rooftop.
Although Zhou Zhen has thought about it, it's just that people always have worries and always have expectations for a comeback!
[Do you want to be the owner of the tech tree during the tech tree generation?] ]
Just when Zhou Zhen was about to leave the rooftop and find a way to solve the debt, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.
Underneath this line of text are two different options: OK or Cancel.
What?
Zhou Zhen squinted at the line of text in front of him, but now he was confused.
Could it be that I drank too much fake wine and hallucinated?
Zhou Zhen shook his head vigorously, but the line of text still appeared in front of Zhou Zhen's eyes without moving.
This text is like being fixed in front of Zhou Zhen's cornea.
"I must be dreaming! Hey! ”
Zhou Zhen looked at the indelible text in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a smirk.
Then in a daze, he reached out to the word "OK".
Just after Zhou Zhen's point was confirmed, suddenly his eyes were dark, and the whole person was in a trance as if he was about to fall, and he fell directly from the rooftop with one foot in the air.
Yes!
An exclamation suddenly rang out in the empty office.
Zhou Zhen jumped up directly from his office chair as if he was frightened.
Seeing that he was intact, Zhou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him with a puzzled expression.
It's mine...... Office?
Zhou Zhen was stunned, obviously the surrounding structures and furnishings were very familiar to Zhou Zhen.
This is Zhou Zhen's former corporate office.
It's just that in Zhou Zhen's memory, he hasn't returned to this office for almost a year and a half, to be precise, this office no longer belongs to Zhou Zhen.
After all, Zhou Zhen had already lost his reputation and was swept away by the company he had established.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong?"
Just when Zhou Zhen was in a trance, suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and he saw a young fat man wearing a white shirt suddenly appear outside the door.
The fat man was looking at Zhou Zhen's trance-like appearance with a puzzled expression.
Fatso! Liu Peng!
The fat man in front of him is called Liu Peng, and he is one of the three cores of Zhou Zhen's team and the company.
Zhou Zhen is responsible for the design and improvement of the production process of panel LCD.
Liu Peng is responsible for the design of panel display chips.
He Wei, the last of the three cores, is as thin as a monkey, mainly responsible for the research and development of LCD panel materials and the procurement of corresponding materials.
It can be said that the three complement each other and jointly promote the research and development of the company's screen technology.
It's just that in the end, the three of them went on different paths.
The fat man Liu Peng left the company because of stomach cancer in the third year of the company's establishment because of irregular diet, and finally passed away in the year the company was acquired.
As for He Wei, in the second year of the company's decline, he left the company and directly joined the core personnel of Sansang screen research and development.
Things, people, and non-people are all in a trance.
Zhou Zhen looked at the fat man in front of him, and couldn't help but give the other party a bear hug.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Peng was also stunned by Zhou Zhen's sudden move.
Seeing the other party's eyes staring at him with red eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this time.
"Lao Zhou, someone from the blue factory seems to want to cooperate with us, if the blue factory can reach cooperation with us, the development of our company will be on a higher level!"
At this time, the fat man slowly pushed Zhou Zhen away and reminded Zhou Zhen of today's schedule.
Zhou Zhen listened to the fat man's reminder, and kept recalling his memories in his mind.
If I'm not mistaken, it's the beginning of '16.
His own Rouyu company has only been established for three months.
However, the development of Rouyu Company in the past three months can be described as unusually rapid.
Relying on the corresponding technology exhibitions and the most innovative technology displays in the industry, it is also well-known in the entire industry.
During this time, the company received an investment of nearly 8 billion yuan and had its own production line.
Although the corresponding screen production capacity cannot be compared with some large manufacturers, it can also meet the screen supply of some brand products.
In Zhou Zhen's memory, Lanchang was the first company to cooperate with its own company.
It's just that in the end, the negotiations between the two companies completely collapsed.
In Zhou Zhen's memory, he was young and vigorous at that time, in order to ensure that the product has enough profits, the quotation of a screen in terms of quotation is about 1,000 yuan.
And the screen quotation that the blue factory can accept is only 500 yuan at most.
In the end, because of the price, the cooperation between the two did not continue.
The failure of this cooperation also led to the fact that some well-known domestic brands did not find Rouyu to cooperate with later.
Even if it is in the later stage, Rouyu Company will go to these domestic brands to cooperate.
In the end, they were also turned away by the heads of the supply chains of these brands.
"This cooperation must be reached! If you can't cross this step, then it will be even more difficult to move forward! ”
Zhou Zhen thought about his past failures, and he became calm down with the lessons learned.
At this point, he also gave up his pride and decided to reverse his defeat.
