Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"It's alive, it's alive, Mr. Chen, your ice bucket challenge has completely revived TikTok, and it's been flooded with advertising!"

After dealing with important matters, Zhang Ming immediately called Chen Xing to report on the operating conditions of his company.

"is it?"

Although Chen Xing was asking, he was not surprised at all because he was well aware of the value of the Ice Bucket Challenge as a public welfare activity.

A big reason why it became so popular is its public welfare entertainment.

What is public welfare entertainment?
To put it bluntly, by allowing caring people to have fun, they are contributing to public welfare.

Who can resist being a bad friend and naming a friend to complete it?

Then there is the ice and water in the Ice Bucket Challenge, which are easy to obtain, and participants have nothing to lose. They can also get phone bills and other forms of rewards. Why not do it?
"How many international brands have come to us? I'm going to say this in advance. You have to step up your audit this time. If you get framed again, it will be hard to turn the tables."

Chen Xing’s friendly reminder.

Just because he can save TikTok once doesn’t mean he can save it a second time, because the opponent’s offensive will only become more and more fierce.

"I understand. I have asked the review department to recruit people urgently. We plan to recruit 1000 people in China. I will let them be responsible for global video review and build a content review center." Zhang Ming expressed his gratitude and also told him about his plan.

He was involved in the "racial discrimination storm" largely because he outsourced the video review of TikTok in order to save trouble. He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

If he were given the choice again, he would directly set up a video review center to determine the intensity of the review based on the video content in different regions.

This is not an easy job and requires training of employees.

In China, which is relatively conservative, videos showing bikini beauties dancing will most likely be censored. However, in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other regions with more open minds, as long as the private parts are not exposed, even a three-point style video will pass the review.

The level of review varies in different regions. This is why Zhang Ming outsourced TikTok's review department. The scale is too difficult to measure.

"1000 people is enough. It can create more jobs and also cope with the wave of layoffs caused by the withdrawal of foreign-funded enterprises." Chen Xing nodded slightly.

Due to the impact of the US dollar interest rate hike, nearly 30% of foreign-funded enterprises in Longguo have withdrawn, and many people are facing the difficulties of unemployment and finding jobs.

In addition to the departure of foreign-funded enterprises, the tide of rising US interest rates has also affected international trade business. Many foreign trade companies have gone bankrupt, and cheap OEM factories have also closed due to reduced order volumes.

To put it simply, there is a huge overcapacity.

Of course.

The impact is not one-sided.

The obstruction of Longguo's export products led to overcapacity in the country, and the United States was unable to buy the products it needed, and prices began to soar.

One is a major manufacturing country, the other is a major consumer country. Both sides have urgent issues that need to be resolved. Whoever can't bear it first will need to bow down and admit defeat to the other.

"Oh, right." Zhang Ming suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that Mr. Chen is working on a supercomputer?"

"what happened?"

Chen Xing agreed and asked back.

"It's like this. The number of users of Douyin and TikTok has increased dramatically, and there is a lot of data that needs to be processed, such as interest push, user identification and other behavioral analysis, which requires high computing power. If it is convenient for you, I would like to deepen the business with your Longxing Group and ask you to provide computing power for my algorithm."

Zhang Ming said frankly.

"I see." Chen Xing nodded slightly and responded, "The first phase of the supercomputer project has been completed, and we are still working on the second phase. There should be no problem in providing computing power services."

"Then it's settled."

Zhang Ming laughed.

"can."

Chen Xing didn't refuse either.

Currently, Longxing Group has been providing big data services for ByteDance, so adding more computing power would not be a big deal. The purpose of building supercomputers is to take over the computing power business.

Currently, half of the computing power of the Pangu supercomputer is still spare. By the time it runs at full capacity, the Nuwa supercomputer will probably be almost ready.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. This year's annual report will definitely surprise you, believe me." Zhang Ming said mysteriously.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Chen Xing responded with a faint smile.

He would not doubt ByteDance's profitability. In the Internet age, every user is a walking money bag. If you want to reach out, you must achieve comprehensive coverage, and Douyin and TikTok can do just that.

Take Tik Tok in China for example, everyone from 70-year-old seniors to 3-year-old children are playing it, and there is always content that interests them.

Don’t think it’s magical, but it’s true.

For example, the operas, old movies and folk songs that 70-year-olds like, the educational videos and nursery rhymes that 3-year-old children like to watch, no matter how unique your taste is, as long as it is not abnormal, the Douyin content library can meet user needs.

Now that live streaming permissions are fully open, coupled with ByteDance's reversal in reputation, with the two killer weapons of advertising and live streaming revenue, achieving profitability is a matter of minutes.

"Then I won't disturb your rest."

"you should also rest earlier."

The two exchanged a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.

After Zhang Ming hung up the phone, he looked at the computer screen in front of him. The price of the Chanel ad splash screen in the email made him sigh: "The price of a 5-second splash screen is 1.2 million US dollars. This damn luxury premium is really high."

He really didn't think that TikTok's commercial value would be so high.

He also never thought that a 5-second splash screen ad could earn 1.2 million US dollars, which is almost 8 million Dragon Dollars!

But Chanel is not a fool. They are willing to invest money to attract traffic, mainly because they are attracted by the traffic from the Ice Bucket Challenge.

TikTok now has 15 billion daily active users, most of whom are new users who downloaded the app after hearing about the Ice Bucket Challenge, maximizing its commercial value.

No luxury brand is willing to give up the opportunity to promote itself.

If the promotion reaches 1000 people, as long as one of them buys Chanel, then their promotion is successful.

……

And on the other side.

Chen Xing hung up the phone and was about to pack up to go home when suddenly a long-lost voice rang in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[It has been detected that the comprehensive market value of "Longxing Group" has entered the top three in the world. The mission of ascending to the throne is being evaluated for the first time. If it is in the top three in the world, the mission is completed. ]

【Corporate influence is being calculated…】

[Market share is being calculated...]

[Market recognition is being calculated...]

【The company's market value is being calculated...】

"system?"

Chen Xing was stunned.

He was naturally familiar with the mechanical sound of the system. After all, the first thing he did when he got up every day was to check the job market and recruit any suitable candidates.

If he remembered correctly, the mission of "Ascending the Throne" was to run Longxing Group to the third highest level among private enterprises in the world.

Could it be that it has been achieved now?

You know what, it’s possible!

Take the recent brain-computer interface for example. This is an emerging trillion-dollar market, and there are a large number of ALS patients who need treatment.

In addition to brain-computer interfaces, Longxing Group also has a complete semiconductor chip industry chain, covering global 5G network communication business, plus mobile phone business that is popular in various countries.

Is there any multinational group that has such a wide range of business operations and is also at the top of the industry?

It is no exaggeration to say that currently only Longxing Group has achieved this!
Moreover, it has risen to the top by stepping on companies such as Qualcomm, Apple, ASML of the Netherlands, and Hanxing Group.

“Will it be another red talent?”

Chen Xing was a little curious.

You should know that in the past mission rewards were basically given to red-quality system talents, and the rapid development of Longxing Group’s technology is inseparable from the promotion of red-quality talents. This is the root of Longxing Group.

He has also thought about it. If he is going to reward red talents with a self-selected gift package this time, then it must be in the field of artificial intelligence, in order to fully promote the rapid development of AI.

Chen Xing leaned back in the ergonomic chair, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

About five minutes later, the system prompt sounded again.

【Ding! 】

【Assessment completed! 】

【Enterprise influence score: SSS! 】

【Enterprise user rating: SSS! 】

【Enterprise Technology Rating: SSS! 】

[Market recognition score: SSS! 】

[Listing speed rating: SSS! 】

The full score from the SSS system gave Chen Xing hope. If another red talent came along, Longxing Group would be even more powerful and reach a higher level.

however.

it's not finished yet.

[We are calculating the average valuation given by various institutions and economic organizations to Longxing Group. Please wait.]

【Statistics completed.】

[JPMorgan Chase: $1.1 trillion.]

【Longxin Bank: 1.2 trillion US dollars. 】

[Sequoia Capital: $1.6 trillion.]

【Standard Chartered Bank: 1.5 trillion US dollars. 】

When the estimated market value of global financial institutions came out, Chen Xing suddenly realized that Longxing Group seemed to have stood at the top of the world.

as predicted.

[Apple's current market value is $9400 billion.]

[The current market value of Qualcomm is 6700 billion US dollars. ]

[Microsoft's current market value is 8900 trillion US dollars. ]

[Amazon's current market value is $1.1 trillion.]

As the system lists the market capitalizations of Silicon Valley companies, basically none of them exceed 1.1 trillion. In other words, as long as financial institutions around the world believe that Longxing Group's market capitalization exceeds 1.1 trillion, then it will be the turn of Longguo Enterprises to sit on the top throne of the Fortune Global .

[Average value estimation completed, Longxing Group’s current market value is estimated at 1.3 trillion US dollars, ranking first, triggering excess rewards...]

[After comprehensive evaluation and calculation, the "Ascend to the Throne" mission has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 red quality talents in the designated field and unlocking the right to recruit designated talents in all fields.] "Hiss!"

Chen Xing was no longer calm.

Two designated red quality talents, what else do you need?

There is no need for him to elaborate on the role of red-quality talents. These are the world's top people.

One man can defeat a million troops!

If I give you two now, I’m sorry, I’m really going to flip the table!

However, what surprised Chen Xing the most was that he unlocked the authority to recruit designated talents in all fields. This was like a timely help!
Brain-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, and new energy vehicles all require a large number of middle-level talents. Chen Xing is particularly distressed about this, because if he cannot recruit in specific fields, the efficiency will be too slow.

If Chen Xing was deliberately keeping it secret before, now he wants to tell the whole world...

From this moment on, offense and defense change!
"Specify the fields of brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development and use the red quality talent rewards." Chen Xing said without hesitation.

Brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence are the major directions he has set, and both have huge room for development.

For example, brain-computer interfaces can only cure ALS now. What about after in-depth development?

Is it possible to cure depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's and other diseases caused by neurological diseases or degeneration?

If so, how big is this market?
Not to mention anything else, just take depression and Alzheimer's disease as an example. There are over 10 million people suffering from them worldwide. Assuming that there are million people willing to have brain-computer interfaces implanted, and each person only earns , that would still be an increase of trillions of dollars.

In addition to curing neurological diseases, if brain-computer interfaces are further developed, can they develop functions similar to cyberpunk?

Don't say it!
It is possible!
If cyberpunk functions are really developed, such as summoning a virtual panel with just a thought without the need for a mobile phone, can it attract young people to implant it?

Trillion dollar market?

Do not!
A trillion dollar supermarket!

In addition to brain-computer interfaces, the market potential of artificial intelligence is also at the trillion level, which has been personally verified by Chen Xing. As long as it is acquired, the so-called Silicon Valley companies leading the technology will not even be worthy of carrying shoes for the Longxing Group!
【Ding! 】

[Brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development fields have been designated! ]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 red quality talent in the field of brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development. Qin Hao and Zhang Yang are arranging to return to China and are expected to arrive at Shenzhen International Airport in 12 hours. Please pay attention to the reception! ]

"12 hours."

There was a gleam of sharpness in Chen Xing's eyes.

Longxing Group has been sanctioned and monopolized by Silicon Valley companies for so long, it’s time to add fuel to the fire and let them have a taste of it too.

“Open up the talent market for targeted recruitment.”

【Ding! 】

【Opened! 】

[Talent Market]: Level 6 (Upgrading the level requires 15 billion. The higher the market level, the higher the quality of talent that can be recruited.)
[List of talents available for recruitment today]

1. Blue quality has been folded.

2. Wang Qing, purple quality, one degree

Scientific research talents, majoring in chip design, the required funds for recruitment: 7000 yuan.

3. Blue quality has been folded.

4. Xu Linglin, purple quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in chip circuit design, recruitment funds required: 7000 yuan.

5. Wu Sanping, purple quality, first-class degree, scientific research talent, majoring in chip circuit improvement technology, recruitment funds required: 7000 yuan.

"The talent in the purple photo is too ordinary. I wonder if it is possible to specify the talent in the ternary chip?" Chen Xing murmured to himself.

Thinking of this, he simply upgraded the market and said, "Improve the level of the talent market."

【Ding! 】

[15 billion has been deducted from the Longxing Group account, and the talent market level has been upgraded to level 7. It will take 8 billion to upgrade to level 50! ]

[The refresh probability of talents of different qualities in the level 7 market is as follows: purple quality talents are 40%, blue quality talents have a probability of 15%, gold talents have a probability of 5%, and red quality talents have a probability of 0.1%! ]

After the mobile phone business, 5G high-speed network business, and semiconductor chip business all achieved profitability, Longxing Group's corporate account still had 376 billion in liquid funds.

Chen Xing did not hesitate for a moment. He was not a hesitant person. He said silently: "Continue to improve the talent market level."

【Ding! 】

[50 billion has been deducted from the Longxing Group account, and the talent market level has been upgraded to level 8. It will take 9 billion to upgrade to level 100! ]

[The refresh probability of talents of different qualities in the level 8 market is as follows: purple quality talents are 50%, blue quality talents have a probability of 10%, gold talents have a probability of 10%, and red quality talents have a probability of 1%! ]

"Gold quality 10%, red quality 1%, plus tens of millions of funds to double the recruitment, high-quality talents will be easily available!"

Chen Xing was a little excited.

“Oh, and there’s a leaderboard!”

He didn't know what kind of changes the world's number one throne would bring to Longxing Group, but for Chen Xing personally, it would actually increase the probability of recruiting.

“Open the global corporate rankings.”

【Ding! 】

【Opened! 】

【Company Rankings·Global】

[No. 1.3: Longxing Group, with a current estimated market value of US$ trillion, mainly engaged in semiconductor chips, information communications, mobile devices, energy storage and other businesses. ]

[Second place: Amazon, with a current market value of 1.1 trillion US dollars, mainly engaged in e-commerce retail, cloud computing services, logistics and supply chain management, advertising and marketing services, etc.]

[Third place: Apple, with a current market value of US$9400 billion, mainly engaged in smart hardware products, the Internet of Things, semiconductor chip design, smart hardware ecosystem services and other businesses. ]

……

[No. 7100: Nvidia, with a current market value of US$ billion, mainly engaged in gaming graphics cards, data centers, artificial intelligence tuning and other businesses. ]

[No. 6700: Qualcomm, with a current market value of US$ billion, mainly engaged in semiconductor chip design and information communication business. ]

Among the top ten companies on the list, only Longxing Group is not listed, which just shows the market's expectations.

It has a trillion-dollar market valuation even before it goes public. Once it goes public and is inflated, no one knows how high the market value of Longxing Group can reach.

Although it is not listed, world-leading financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Sequoia Capital do not make random valuations, but make judgments based on comprehensive technological strength.

Just by achieving a closed loop of the entire semiconductor chip industry chain, Longxing Group can obtain a valuation of 4000 billion US dollars, not to mention that Longxing Group also holds patents for 5G high-speed networks, as well as technical patents for all-solid-state batteries and brain-computer interfaces. The valuation of 1.3 trillion US dollars is already a low estimate.

If the IPO price is really inflated, Sequoia Capital expects the market value to at least triple, or even quintuple. The current Longxing Group is so popular that it is almost suppressing Silicon Valley technology companies.

Chen Xing clicked on the probability bonus of the ranking list. The world's number one increase directly reduced the probability of recruiting blue and white quality talents to 0.01%. The purple quality also decreased. Only the probability of recruiting gold and red quality talents increased.

"10% bonus for gold quality, 2% bonus for red quality, that is to say, I now have a 20% chance of refreshing gold quality talents, and a 3% chance of refreshing red quality talents." Chen Xing clenched his fists. This is a huge room for improvement.

If we add the bonus of tens of millions in recruitment fees, doesn’t that mean there is a 40% chance of recruiting gold-quality talent?

"Even the red quality is 6%, I must try it."

Chen Xing murmured in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he silently changed the recruitment conditions and said, "Change the targeted recruitment to talents in the three-dimensional field."

【Ding! 】

[Recruitment conditions have been changed! ]

“Refreshing the Targeted Market.”

[After deducting 10W of funds, the talent market list has been refreshed! 】

[List of talents available for recruitment today]

1. Wang Baiming, gold quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary computer system programming, recruitment funds required: 10 yuan.

2. Sun Yin, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary EDA software design, recruitment funds required: 1 yuan.

3. Yang Bin, purple quality, first-class degree, scientific research talent, ternary chip design assistant, recruitment funds required: 8000 yuan.

4. Xu Cun, gold quality, returned from Cambridge, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary software programming, the funds required for recruitment: 10 yuan.

5. Lin Dong, purple quality, first-class degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary chip design, the funds required for recruitment: 9000 yuan.

Looking at the golden light flashing in front of him, Chen Xing finally realized the seriousness of the matter. It was time for Longxing Group's scientific research team to undergo a major change and bring some technological shock to the world!
"Recruit all."

【Ding! 】

【Recruitment successful! 】

[22.7 yuan has been deducted from the Longxing Group account. Lin Dong, Xu Cun, Yang Bin, Sun Yin, and Wang Baiming are about to arrive at the company. Please arrange for the reception staff! ]

Chen Xing didn't care. The operations of various departments of Longxing Group were already very mature. When system talents arrived, there would naturally be someone to receive them.

"Keep refreshing!"

【Ding! 】

[After deducting 20W of funds, the talent market list has been refreshed! 】

[List of talents available for recruitment today]

1. Pang Tieshi, purple quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, ternary chip design assistant, recruitment funds required: 8000 yuan.

2. Tang Yuanning, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary instruction programming, recruitment funds required: 1 yuan.

3. Zhang Haofan, gold quality, returned from Yale, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary chip design, funds required for recruitment: 10 yuan.

4. Chen Liang, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary software programming, the funds required for recruitment: 1 yuan.

5. Lin Jiafeng, purple quality, second-tier university degree, scientific research talent, majoring in ternary computer programming, the funds required for recruitment: 9000 yuan.

"Recruit all."

Chen Xing still didn't hesitate at all.

The ternary chip is currently the largest and most invested project of Longxing Group, and is led by Gao Zhengqian in its research and development.

According to Gao Zhengqian's original statement, ternary chips will reshape the semiconductor chip landscape, and by then Longxing Group will be able to "hold chips and reap the world"!
While Chen Xing continued to recruit talents and lay the foundation for ternary chips, an extremely low-key Chiqi car stopped smoothly at the gate of the Longxing Group's headquarters base.

The security guard was instantly alert and hurried forward to ask: "This is the Longxing Group Longgang Headquarters Base, may I ask what your purpose is?"

At night, Longxing Group refuses to allow guests unless they have an appointment.

"I…"

The driver in the main car was about to speak when he was interrupted by the old man in the back seat.

"Please tell Mr. Chen that there is a guest from the capital who wants to talk to him in person."
