In 2016, Kowloon Times had revenue of US$98 billion and profit of US$35 billion. In terms of revenue, it ranked 8th among China's top 500 companies, second only to Three Barrel Oil, Huaxia Construction, Ping An Insurance, China Mobile, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

In terms of profits, Kowloon Times ranked third, second only to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. This year, ICBC’s profits reached 278.249 billion yuan, while its revenue was less than 700 billion yuan. It was a huge profit, so many people

People in the financial sector complained that even a pig would not be able to make a loss when opening a bank in China.

This is not just ICBC. The profits of other banks are enough to stun people. China Construction Bank has revenue of 605.09 billion yuan and profit of 231.46 billion yuan; Agricultural Bank of China has revenue of 506.02 billion yuan and profit of 183.941 billion yuan; Huaxia Bank has revenue of 483.63 billion yuan.

, profit was 164.58 billion yuan; Bank of Communications had revenue of 193.13 billion yuan and profit of 67.21 billion yuan; Postal Savings had revenue of 189.6 billion yuan and profit of 39.8 billion yuan; Pudong Bank had revenue of 160.79 billion yuan and profit of 53.1 billion yuan; Industrial Bank had revenue of 157.06 billion yuan.

100 million yuan, with a profit of 53.85 billion yuan; Minsheng Bank’s revenue was 155.21 billion yuan, with a profit of 47.84 billion yuan; China Merchants Bank’s revenue was 209.03 billion yuan, with a profit of 62.08 billion yuan.

It can be said that banks' profits are extremely astonishing, the most profitable among all industries, and they are considered risk-free in China.

In comparison, the profit of three barrels of oil is appalling. Sinopec has a revenue of 1.93 trillion yuan and a profit of only 46.42 billion yuan; PetroChina has a revenue of 1.62 trillion yuan and a profit of 7.9 billion yuan; CNOOC has a revenue of 146.5 billion yuan and a profit of 6.4 billion yuan.

billion.

According to ordinary people's understanding, the oil business is about huge profits. Those small private gas stations buy oil from Three Barrels of Oil and sell it at a lower price than Three Barrels of Oil, but they still make a lot of money. And Three Barrels of Oil

No matter how you think about it, a barrel of oil should be a huge profit, a huge profit, but it is not like this. The profit of three barrels of oil is pitiful.

According to them, the price increase closely followed the increase in international oil prices. As for the decrease in international oil prices, the price of three barrels of oil increased instead of falling. This is because of special national conditions.

But the profits every year are miserable.

In 2016, not only the revenue of Kowloon Times soared, but also that of Warwick, which is an extremely bright pearl. In 2016, Warwick achieved global sales revenue of 521.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32%; net profit was 37.1 billion yuan, and R&D expenses reached 37.1 billion yuan.

76.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28%!

Under the leadership of Sun Yafang, everyone visited the factory and the laboratory. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, one-third of the Kowloon Times production base was still maintaining production, that is, there were still 20,000 employees in the entire production base.

The inspection visit by the dean and others aroused warm applause and welcome from the workers. Except for a small number of them who had met the dean before, most of them had never met the dean.

Chat with front-line workers about daily life, ask about salary income, ask about five insurances and one housing fund, ask whether there is overtime pay for overtime during the Spring Festival...

There are no lofty words, but it is indeed related to the interests of the workers.

Finally, he quoted a sentence from his New Year's message, which is, 'Everyone, roll up your sleeves and work hard' and 'Happiness comes from hard work'.

"Mr. Sun, you have done a good job in Jiulong Times, so your employees should be integrated with the company and enjoy the dividends and fruits of the company's growth." The dean said to Sun Yafang.

In the latest issue of the world's most powerful women, Sun Yafang has topped the list for two consecutive years, and she has also become a well-known business boss around the world.

Compared with the original, the salary of Kowloon Times has been adjusted twice. Even the basic salary of the lowest-level employees has been mentioned at 4,500 yuan. In addition, five social insurances and one housing fund are paid in accordance with national regulations, and the average monthly median salary of employees

It has also reached 12,000 yuan/month.

For the factory, this is already a pretty good income.

As for those who earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, they are everywhere.

For dinner, the dean and others chose to eat at the Kowloon Times Canteen. They did not jump in line, but queued in order. Even though the workers were polite, they declined.

It was a simple meal, but they ate it with gusto.

For them, maybe they have never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas. They no longer care about these material enjoyments, but pursue their own life value and life ambitions.

When eating, they did not sit together, but sat with ordinary workers, chatting about home affairs while eating.

Finally, at night, the convoy left the production base and settled into a nearby five-star hotel.

Liu Yichen watched the convoy leave and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his mission was only the first day, he still felt pressure and did not dare to let down his guard at all.

And now, his mission is completed.

Liu Yichen and Sun Yafang went to the Kowloon Times headquarters to discuss some major adjustments the company was about to make after the Spring Festival.

In 2017, although the Spring Festival has not yet passed, the contract value signed by Jiulong Times has reached 125 billion US dollars, an increase of 27.6% compared with 2016. The largest growth point of contract growth still comes from the field of new energy vehicles.

In comparison, the growth brought by smartphones, drones, military industry, etc. is relatively small.

"Mr. Liu, according to your previous wishes, the leadership discussed it and formed this report. Please take a look." Sun Yafang printed a report and gave it to Liu Yichen.

The new adjustment plan mainly has two aspects. On the one hand, it is the adjustment of salary, so that the salary can be adjusted upward; on the other hand, it is the adjustment of some major leadership positions, some are transferred from the headquarters to the production base, and some are transferred from the production base.

The base is transferred to the headquarters, and some are transferred between production bases.

Liu Yichen nodded. Sun Yafang had discussed this with him in private before. Liu Yichen was undecided at first and only agreed later.

For example, an important position adjustment here is that Liu Tingting was transferred to the position of vice president, responsible for supervisory duties.

After seeing Liu Yichen's signature, Sun Yafang placed the document on her desk, and then chatted with Liu Yichen about the next development of the Kowloon Times.

With the two production bases planned to be completely full in 2017 and operating as designed in 2018, the production volume of Jiulong Times will further increase. The output of the three production bases will be able to meet the world's demand for lithium-sulfur batteries in the next five years.

.

Among them, the most important growth point comes from new energy vehicles. After several years of development and operation, it has become a general trend for new energy vehicles to replace traditional fuel and gas vehicles. Even those car manufacturers who are unwilling to accept this reality,

They all have to admit it.

In recent years, the world's car companies have been changing more and more rapidly. It can be said that the situation is changing. Those who have not successfully entered new energy vehicles have been hit hard without exception. Their revenue and market value have suffered serious declines. The most typical one is the Korean company.

Hyundai and Kia, which are likely to become giant car companies, have both suffered heavy losses and lost their European and American markets. They can only continue to exist in markets such as the Middle East, South America, and Africa.

On the contrary, China's new energy vehicles are catching up. With the help of new energy vehicles, China occupied five of the top ten car companies in the world in 2016.

BYD, Geely, SAIC, FAW, and Dongfeng are all among the top ten car companies, with revenues of around US$90 billion and profits between US$5 billion and US$8 billion.

The rapid development of the automobile industry in recent years is also the reason for the rapid economic development, which has enabled China's economy to maintain rapid growth. In 2016, the "housing is not speculated" was maintained, and the real estate industry cooled down and returned to its original prosperity.

People don't feel much about fire because of the rise of other aspects.

Among them, the automobile industry is the fastest growing, driving the development of a large number of industries and creating a large number of employment opportunities.

The rapid growth of new energy vehicles is driven by the rapid growth of lithium-sulfur batteries. After all, new energy vehicles are now equipped with lithium-sulfur batteries, because the endurance of lithium-sulfur batteries far exceeds that of traditional lithium batteries, making the original endurance 350~

Traditional lithium batteries with a range of 500 kilometers are simply not competitive.

The expansion of the new energy vehicle market is driving the development of other automotive technologies, such as electric motors, chassis, seats, etc.

With the expansion of new energy vehicles, the sales volume of traditional fuel engines and gas engines has been declining year by year, and the prices have also dropped. Unlike in the past, one engine can contain huge profits.

Liu Yichen left the Kowloon Times headquarters very late.

Back home, Feng Lin was reading on the balcony, and Liu Yichen also made a cup of tea to calm down and read.

During this time, even he seemed a little impetuous.

In the dead of night, only Liu Yichen was left. Liu Yichen calmed down, his impatience was blown away by the wind, and Liu Yichen's consciousness was immersed in the system space:

He pondered for a moment, entered the system mall, and checked out the related seawater dewatering technology.

Seawater desalination is the use of seawater desalination to produce desalted water. It is an open source incremental technology to realize water resource utilization. It can increase the total amount of desalted water without being affected by time, space and climate. It can ensure stable water supply for coastal residents such as drinking water and industrial boiler replenishment.

.

The process of obtaining fresh water from the sea is seawater dehydration. The current seawater dehydration methods include seawater freezing, electrodialysis, distillation, reverse osmosis, and the profitable ammonium carbonate ion exchange method. Currently used

The reverse osmosis method of reverse osmosis membranes has quickly occupied the market with its advantages of simple equipment, easy maintenance and modular equipment, gradually replacing the distillation method as the most widely used method.

More than a hundred scientific research institutions in more than ten countries in the world are conducting research on seawater denaturation, and there are hundreds of seawater denaturation facilities with different structures and capacities at work. A modern large-scale seawater denaturation plant produces water every day.

It can produce thousands, tens of thousands or even nearly one million tons of fresh water.

The cost of water is constantly decreasing. In some countries, it has been reduced to the same price as tap water. In some areas, the amount of denatured water has reached the scale of national and city water supply.

Nowadays, the mainstream seawater dewatering technologies in the world are mainly two categories: traditional distillation (thermal method) and reverse osmosis method (membrane method). Among them, low multiple-effect distillation method, multi-stage flash evaporation method and reverse osmosis membrane method are the global

The mainstream technology, distillation method, is currently the most widely used. It has the advantages of low seawater pretreatment requirements and high quality of denatured water. The disadvantage is that it consumes serious energy and is difficult to treat dirt!

The reverse osmosis membrane method has the advantages of low investment and low energy consumption, but it requires high pretreatment of seawater. That is to say, when using the reverse osmosis method to decontaminate seawater, some treatment of seawater must be carried out in advance.

Of course, in addition to these two seawater dehydration technologies, there is also a frozen seawater dehydration treatment technology. This technology uses the triple point of seawater, which is a special point where the three phases of seawater vapor, liquid, and solid coexist and reach equilibrium. If

If the pressure or temperature deviates from the three-phase point, the balance is destroyed, and the three phases will automatically tend to one or two phases.

The vacuum freezing method of seawater dehydration is a low-cost dehydration method that utilizes the triple point principle of seawater and uses water itself as the refrigerant to evaporate and freeze seawater at the same time. The ice crystals are then separated and washed to obtain dehydrated water.

method.

Compared with the distillation method and the membrane seawater denaturation method, the refrigerated seawater denaturation method has low energy consumption, light corrosion and scaling, simple pretreatment, small equipment investment, and can handle seawater with high salt content. It is an ideal method.
