Chapter 1 The Loser

Between buildings under the setting sun.

Zhou Zhen sat alone on the rooftop of a building.

Looking down, you can see the busy traffic and fireworks in the world.

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen felt that his whole life was simply a tragedy.

He became famous at a young age and founded a panel company with his passion.

And relying on the R&D team he led, the super-flexible OLED screen developed has become a newcomer in the industry and has become a frequent visitor to many technology exhibitions.

At the time of its glory, many investors saw the potential of the company behind Zhou Zhen and invested one after another, making Rouyu Company founded by Zhou Zhen first shine in the industry.

It's just a pity that high R&D and high cost investment have made the new super-flexible OLED screen not a favorite of mainstream manufacturers due to its high cost.

Not only were the screens not sold, but the company accumulated a series of inventories.

In the end, other major international manufacturers caught up and produced equally excellent flexible OLED screens, which put Zhou Zheng and the team behind him in a dilemma.

Research and development requires costs, but the inventory cannot be sold. At the same time, it is surrounded by mainstream international manufacturers.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, everything collapsed.

The investors who came here because of the reputation saw Zhou Zhen's plight one after another, and resolutely chose to withdraw their investment.

Zhou Zhen was unwilling to admit defeat and borrowed funds to force the company to continue its life.

It's a pity that major international manufacturers have already grasped the situation and firmly controlled the upstream supply chain, making Zhou Zhen's company even worse.

In the end, Zhou Zhen was heavily in debt, his wife divorced, and the company was acquired by a major international company. The R&D team that had followed Zhou Zhen in high spirits finally chose to disband.

The collapse of his dream made Zhou Zhen feel what it means to feel despair.

Even Zhou Zhen became obsessed with drinking to relieve his sorrows, and he always had to deal with debt collectors.

"At that time, we had the most advanced technology in the world. Why didn't we succeed? Did I lose some luck?"

Zhou Zhen held a bottle of liquor and sat precariously on the edge of the rooftop. Looking at the sunset in the distance, he couldn't help but curse at God.

After all, Zhou Zhen worked hard, struggled, and was equally free and unrestrained.

He was once considered by others to be the proud son of heaven, but his final ending was tragic.

Zhou Zhen felt that the times had played a trick on him, allowing him to become famous and stand at the top.

But he suddenly made a joke with himself, causing him to fall into an abyss, unable to extricate himself or resist.

It would be nice if I could go back in time...

Zhou Zhen often has such thoughts in his mind.

It was only a moment before Zhou Zhen was forgotten.

The wind that was about to fall into the night slid across Zhou Zhen's face with a hint of coldness.

Let the drunk Zhou Zhen sober up a little.

Zhou Zhen held up his head unsteadily with his hands and prepared to leave the rooftop.

Although Zhou Zhen wanted to call it a day, people always have worries and expectations for a comeback!

[The technology tree is being generated, are you willing to become the master of the technology tree?]

Just when Zhou Zhen was about to leave the rooftop and think of a way to settle his debt, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under this line of text, there are two different options: confirm or cancel.

what?

Zhou Zhen squinted at the line of text in front of him, but now he was confused.

Could it be that he drank too much fake wine and was hallucinating?

Zhou Zhen shook his head vigorously, but the line of text still appeared in front of Zhou Zhen's eyes without moving.

This text seemed to be fixed in front of Zhou Zhen's corneas.

"I must be dreaming! Hehe!"

Zhou Zhen looked at the indelible words in front of him and couldn't help but giggle.

Then he reached out his hand vaguely and clicked on the words "OK".

Just after Zhou Zhen clicked to confirm, his vision suddenly went dark, and he was in a trance, as if he was on the verge of falling, and he missed the point and fell directly from the rooftop.

ah!

A scream suddenly sounded in the empty office.

Zhou Zhen jumped up 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 look.

This is my...office?

Zhou Zhen was stunned. It was obvious that Zhou Zhen was very familiar with the surrounding structures and furnishings.

This was Zhou Zhen’s former company office.

However, in Zhou Zhen's memory, he had returned to this office for almost a year and a half. To be precise, this office no longer belonged to Zhou Zhen.

After all, Zhou Zhen had already lost his reputation and was kicked out of the company he founded.

"Lao Zhou, what's wrong?"

Just when Zhou Zhen was in a trance, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and a young fat man wearing a white shirt suddenly appeared outside the door.

The fat man was looking at Zhou Zhen's dazed look with a puzzled look on his face.

Fat man! Liu Peng!

The fat man in front of me is called Liu Peng, and he is one of the three core members of Zhou Zhen's team and 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 and is mainly responsible for the research and development of LCD panel materials and the procurement of corresponding materials.

It can be said that the three of them complement each other and jointly promote the research and development of the company's screen technology.

But in the end the three of them took different paths.

The fat man Liu Peng left the company due to gastric cancer in the third year after its establishment due to irregular diet, and finally passed away the year the company was acquired.

As for He Wei, in the second year when the company went downhill, he left the company and directly joined the core staff of Sanxin Screen R&D.

Things are right and wrong in a trance.

Zhou Zhen looked at the living fat man in front of him and couldn't help but give him a bear hug.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Peng was also shocked by Zhou Zhen's sudden move.

Seeing the other person staring at me with red eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Lao Zhou, there are people from Blue Factory, and they seem to want to cooperate with us. If Blue Factory can reach cooperation with us, our company's development will be even higher!"

At this time, the fat man slowly pushed Zhou Zhen away and reminded Zhou Zhen of today's schedule.

After hearing Fatty's reminder, Zhou Zhen kept recalling his past memories in his mind.

If I guessed correctly, it should be early 2016.

My company, Rouyu, has only been established for three months.

However, the development of Rouyu Company in the past three months can be said to be extremely rapid.

Relying on corresponding technology exhibitions and extremely innovative technology displays in the industry, it is somewhat famous in the entire industry.

During this period, the company received nearly 8 billion investments and had its own production line.

Although the corresponding screen production capacity cannot be compared with that of some major manufacturers, it can still meet the supply of screens for some brand products.

In Zhou Zhen's memory, Blue Factory was the first company to seek cooperation with his own company.

But 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 had enough profits, the quotation for a screen was about one thousand yuan.

The maximum screen quotation that Blue Factory can accept is only 500 yuan.

In the end, the cooperation between the two did not continue due to price reasons.

The failure of this cooperation also resulted in some well-known domestic brands not approaching Rouyu for cooperation.

Even if Rouyu Company later seeks cooperation with these domestic brands.

In the end, they were also turned away by the heads of the supply chains of these brands.

"This cooperation must be achieved! If we can't get through this step, it will be even more difficult in the future!"

Zhou Zhen thought about his past failures, and after gaining experience and lessons, he became calmer.
