Chapter 1303

After that, Daqian printing factory came to report on its work.

Daqian printing factory did not make any profit this year, but it was not because of poor management, but because Daqian printing factory invested all the money they made in a new scientific and Technological Development: 3D printing.

To be honest, Daqian printing factory can think of developing such a black technology, which is still the pot of boss Jia.

At a high-level dinner last year, director He of Daqian printing factory told boss Jia that their printing factory did not know where the next direction of scientific and technological change in the printing industry was and wanted to ask boss Jia for advice.

But boss Jia doesn't know the direction of scientific and technological change in printing. It's OK for him to draw a piece of paper, even printing.

However, boss Jia can't say nothing. Doesn't it seem that boss Jia is too incompetent, so he smiled and said, "the future direction of the printing industry may be 3D printing."

Boss Jia just said it casually. 3D printing is one of the future development directions of science and technology. Yes, but people have nothing to do with the printing industry.

But factory director he, a technology maniac, doesn't think so. 3D printing is very high-tech and is a matter of the printing industry. So factory director he immediately began to ask boss Jia what 3D printing is.

In fact, boss Jia doesn't know much, so he simply explained that he first uses the computer to build the three-dimensional model of the object, then uses some materials that can be quickly formed to add materials layer by layer for printing, and finally directly prints out a three-dimensional object.

"Awesome, so the printing industry will not be limited to paper or plane. We promise the industry and can directly promise goods. This is a breakthrough in the development of science and technology!" factory director he, a technology maniac, exclaimed on the spot. Then he ran back to the factory without finishing his meal.

Boss Jia thought the other party was just interested for a moment, but unexpectedly, three days later, director he came to our boss Jia with a detailed 3D printing technology development plan.

In this plan, Daqian printing factory said that they hope to complete technology accumulation and sample building in three years and put the world's first commercialized 3D printer into the market in five years.

Boss Jia is a little confused about this plan. You know, in history, up to 2020, although the technical concept of 3D printing is very hot, 3D printing itself is not very good.

Because the technical defects of 3D printing are very serious, first of all, due to the limitations of materials, 3D printed products are basically plastic products, which has great limitations.

Secondly, the accuracy of 3D printing is not too high to produce many very detailed things.

In addition, 3D printing requires modeling. The more complex things are, the higher the cost of modeling. It is very normal for a model to toss for several months.

Finally, and most importantly, the speed of 3D printing is very slow. For a fist big thing, a machine also needs to print for a day. If it is a little bigger, it will take another week or two.

In short, 3D printing may indeed be the development direction of the printing industry, but it is technically less practical than VR. It is basically a gimmick used to cheat money.

Of course, you can't say that 3D printing is useless. Maybe in another 10 years or so, a 3D printer will become the standard configuration of every family. Many times, we don't need to buy things outside. We can use the computer to directly next the model drawing, and then print it directly with a 3D printer.

In a word, the future of 3D printer itself is boundless, but it takes time, at least 30 years. As a result, Daqian printing factory directly wants to produce 3D printer in five years, which is really unreliable.

Therefore, after reading the plan, boss Jia's first reaction was to refuse, then explained in detail the difficulties and the reasons for his refusal to factory director he, and expressed the hope for a more stable development mode.

However, factory director he asked, "what should we do now that we have changed a more stable direction of research? Then several years later, foreigners took the lead in making a technological breakthrough and occupied the whole 3D printer market?"

"If we don't study it, will technology emerge by itself in a few decades?"

"Who says we can't make technological breakthroughs in ten or even five years? What if we do?"

Boss Jia has nothing to say about being rejected by director he. Anyway, since Daqian printing factory wants to start 3D printing, let them start. Anyway, the profit of Daqian printing factory is nothing to Daqian group. Since people have this ambition, boss Jia can't stop it.

Besides, factory director he is not wrong. Who says that we can't achieve results within ten years? After all, the world today is completely different from before.

Boss Jia agreed to the 3D printing development plan of Daqian printing, and then Daqian printing began to work with great fanfare. Not to mention the profits of the whole 97 years, but also a lot of funds accumulated before, they all fell into the project. In one year, it spent 600 million yuan of investment, which can be called all the branches of Daqian, The company that is most willing to spend money.

As for the results, factory director he said that their main task at present is to overcome the problem of printing materials, and to produce a material that is easy to melt but can be as strong as metal after re solidification.

This is the most important material. In addition, they also want to produce hundreds of printing materials with different characteristics, so as to meet the needs of a product and all-round materials.

Boss Jia was speechless for a while. The material is not the main problem. The main problem is the promised speed. However, Daqian printing has not yet carried out research. Boss Jia has the feeling that all the money is in the water.

If boss Jia hadn't asked an independent accounting firm to review the finance and found no problems, and all the funds were indeed invested in scientific research, boss Jia even wanted to stop the project directly.

However, after boss Jia made hundreds of billions of dollars, it doesn't matter. Let Daqian printing factory play by itself. Anyway, people use their own profits, as long as they don't ask the company for money.

It was Wang Xuan who really came to ask the company for money, that is, BiliBili.

In fact, if they do not engage in systems, their profits are still very good. They have made a good reputation in the whole field of professional software and began to customize professional software for enterprises all over the world, creating a total profit of US $80 million in foreign exchange.

In addition, they have even entered the general software market. BiliBili has started to design and manufacture a CAD software, and intends to break the market monopoly of the world's major industrial software manufacturers. It is really gratifying and has a great driving force for development.

But the whole BiliBili lost money, and there was no money left. Boss Jia gave Bili nearly $500 million before and after last year, and now it's all spent. This year, the lion continues to speak, and it directly requires $1 billion in R & D funds. I see that boss Jia wants to kick this guy out.

"Boss, we have a new technical idea!" Wang Xuan said excitedly. "We plan to develop a Chinese assembly language and let our new PC system be written based on Chinese assembly language, so that we can completely bypass all Microsoft patent barriers!"
