The one who came to report on his work was Daqian Printing Factory.

Daqian Printing Factory has no profit this year, but it is not because of poor management, but because of all the money they earned has been invested in a brand new technological development: 3D printing.

To be honest, it is our boss Jia who can think of developing such a black technology.

Last year, when a senior executive dinner was held, Director He of Daqian Printing Factory told Boss Jia that their printing factory did not know where the technological changes in the next direction of the printing industry were, and wanted to ask Boss Jia for advice.

But Boss Jia didn’t know the direction of technological change in printing. It’s okay to ask him to draw a piece of paper, but it’s okay to print it.

But Boss Jia can't say nothing. Doesn't this seem like Boss Jia is too incompetent? So he smiled and said, "The future direction of the printing industry may be 3D printing."

Boss Jia originally said it nonsense, and 3D printing is one of the future technological development directions, but it has nothing to do with the printing industry.

But Director He, a technology maniac, doesn't think so. 3D printing is very high-tech when it sounds like it, and it's a matter of the printing industry. So Director He immediately began to ask Boss Jia what 3D printing is.

Boss Jia actually didn't know much, so he briefly explained that he first used a computer to build a three-dimensional model of the item, and then used some materials that could be quickly formed to print the layer by layer, and finally printed out a three-dimensional item directly.

"Awesome, so the printing industry will not be limited to paper or plane. We promise the industry that we can directly agree to items. This is a technological development that breaks through the dimension!" Director He, a technical maniac, exclaimed on the spot, and before he finished his meal, he ran back to the factory.

Boss Jia felt that the other party was just a temporary interest, 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 technical accumulation and sample creation within three years, and put the world's first commercial 3D printer into the market within five years.

Boss Jia was a little confused when he read this plan. You should know that in history, until 2020, the technical concept of 3D printing was very popular, but 3D printing itself was not very good.

Because the technical defects of 3D printing are very serious, first of all, due to the limitations of the use of materials, the products printed in 3D are basically made of plastic, so the limitations of the products are very large.

Secondly, the accuracy of 3D printing is not too high, and it is impossible to create many very detailed things.

Also, 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 restriction of 3D printing is that the speed of 3D printing is very slow. A machine also needs to print a day if it is a little bigger. 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 more practical than VR in technology. It is basically just a gimmick used to cheat money.

Of course, you can't say that 3D printing is useless. Perhaps in about 10 years, a 3D printer will become the standard configuration for every family. Many times, people don't need to go out to buy things. Just use a computer to directly print the model picture and then use a 3D printer to directly print it out.

In short, the future of 3D printers itself is promising, but it takes time and will start at least 30 years. As a result, Daqian Printing Factory directly wanted to create 3D printers within 5 years, which is really unreliable.

So after seeing this plan, Boss Jia's first reaction was to refuse, and then explained in detail to Director He about the difficulties and the reasons for his rejection, expressing his hope of changing to a more stable development method.

But Director He asked back, "We have now changed to a more stable direction to study. Then, after several years, foreigners have taken the lead in making technological breakthroughs and occupied the entire 3D printer market?"

"If we don't study it, will technology emerge on its own in decades?"

"Who said that we cannot make technological breakthroughs in ten or even five years, what if it is done?"

Boss Jia was criticized by Director He so much that he had nothing to say. Well, since Daqian Printing Factory wanted to launch 3D printing, let them go. Anyway, the profit of Daqian Printing Factory is nothing to Daqian Group. Since they have such ambitions, Boss Jia cannot stop it.

Besides, Director He is not wrong. Who said that there will be no results within ten years? After all, the current world is completely different from before.

Boss Jia agreed to Daqian Printing's 3D printing development plan, and then Daqian Printing began to work hard. Not to mention the profits of the whole 1997 years, but also the much money accumulated before, they actually invested in this project. In a year, they spent 600 million yuan. It can be said that among all the branches under Daqian, the one that is the most willing to spend money.

As for the results, Director He said that their current main task is to overcome the problem of printing materials and to create a material that is convenient for melting, but after re-solidation, the strength can be comparable to that of metal.

This is the most important material. In addition, they also want to create hundreds of printing materials with different characteristics so that they can meet the comprehensive material needs of a product.

Boss Jia was speechless when he saw it. The materials were not the main problem. The main problem was the speed of agreement. However, Daqian Printing had not yet started research. Boss Jia felt like he had all money poured into the water.

If Boss Jia had not asked an independent accounting firm to review the finances and found that there was no problem and that all the funds were indeed invested in scientific research, Boss Jia would even want 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, they use their own profits, just don't ask the company for money.

The one who really came to ask for money from the company was actually Wang Xuan, that is, Bilibili.

In fact, if they don’t work on systems, their profits will be very good. They have already made a good reputation in the entire professional software field and have begun to customize professional software for enterprises around the world, creating a total of US$80 million in foreign exchange profits.

In addition, they have even entered the general software market. Bilibili has begun to design and manufacture a CAD software, intending to break the market monopoly position of the world's industrial software manufacturers. This is really gratifying and has great motivation for development.

But Bilibili lost money, and he lost no money. Boss Jia gave Bilibili nearly 500 million US dollars last year. Not to mention it, he continued to speak out this year and directly asked for one billion US dollars in research and development funds. Seeing Boss Jia wanted to kick this guy away with one kick.
