Chapter 470 Chen Xing invests in miHoYo, Gu Ren demonstrates low-temperature superconducting materia
When Wang Shan suddenly called, Chen Xing thought of the conversation they had had some time ago and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Hey, old chief."
Chen Xing was the first to greet.
"I heard that Longxing Group has fully resumed work. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Wang Shan's hearty voice came from the receiver.
"How can this be considered a disturbance? I've been waiting for your call, old leader." Chen Xing replied with a smile.
The two had a private meeting some time ago and had discussed the contents of the "Stock Market Integration Plan" in detail.
It has to be said that the integration of the inland, Hong Kong and Taiwan stock markets is very necessary.
At present, A-shares do not have the ability to attract international investment because the rules and regulations are too "immature".
For example, the delisting compensation system, punishment system, supervision system and joint responsibility system for violations are not perfect in the A-share market.
The stock markets in Hong Kong and Formosa are completely based on the rules of the U.S. stock market and are relatively more complete.
If we want to attract international capital to invest in Longguo, the stock market, which is a reservoir, must be demolished and restructured. This is also the motivation why Wang Shan has been busy recently and has traveled thousands of miles to learn from others.
"You may be young, but you're very eloquent." Wang Shan listened to Chen Xing's answer, a smile flashing across his lips.
However, he did not forget his purpose and quickly said:
"Do you remember what I told you last time? The day after tomorrow at the International Financial Center Building in Hong Kong Island, the village heads of the Securities and Futures Commissions in the Mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Formosa will be there. I hope you can spare some time so we can sit down and have a good chat."
"The day after tomorrow, Hong Kong International Financial Center, I've made a note of it." Chen Xing quickly picked up a pen and wrote down the time and place in case he forgot.
He was no stranger to the International Financial Center. After all, it was a landmark building on Hong Kong Island and a symbol of its former glory.
If time goes back thirty or forty years, the financial center of Asia would not be Tokyo or Singapore, but Hong Kong Island, the Dragon Country.
As early as 1891, a brokerage association was established in Hong Kong Island, which also had the first formal stock investment market.
However, the history of stock trading in Hong Kong can be traced back to 1866.
As early as 1866, people in Hong Kong had already purchased stocks from Western countries and made value investments in assets.
Between 1969 and 1972, Hong Kong's securities trading business became increasingly developed. Not only were the Far East Exchange, the Gold and Silver Exchange and the Kowloon Stock Exchange established, but 80% of Hong Kong's population was also able to participate in investing.
Seeing that his message had been delivered, Wang Shan reminded again, "Okay, the meeting starts at nine o'clock in the evening, don't be late."
"take note of it."
Chen Xing also wrote it down.
"Just make a note of it. I'll hang up now. We can talk about finance in detail later."
"Well, let's talk back."
"Chat back."
After a few simple polite words, the two hung up the phone.
Chen Xing subconsciously turned off the screen of his phone and placed it on the table, thinking about continuing to deal with the emails in his mailbox, but suddenly he remembered that Liu Wei had not yet returned to miHoYo.
He picked up his phone again and opened WeChat. Liu Wei from miHoYo had already sent him several 2D emoticons.
"Dead otaku..."
Chen Xing couldn't help but complain.
But to be honest, it is indeed easier to make money in the two-dimensional world. A figure with a cost price of a dozen yuan can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of yuan.
Liu Wei is such a otaku, no wonder he can create excellent 2D games.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Xing chose to make a video call to him directly.
After a few seconds of waiting, the video was connected.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
Chen Xing said hello.
Liu Wei, who had a bowl cut and looked dull, saw Chen Xing and quickly waved and responded, "Good afternoon, Mr. Chen. Have you eaten?"
"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Song Xiaotao, and I'm the product manager of miHoYo."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Cai Yu, and I'm the art director of miHoYo."
"My name is Luo Hao, I'm the chief planner of miHoYo. I've long heard of Mr. Chen."
The "Big Four" of miHoYo introduced themselves one by one. Chen Xing looked at the somewhat reserved crowd and smiled calmly, saying bluntly: "Good afternoon, I won't introduce myself in detail, let's get straight to the point, what do you want to cooperate with me on?"
"It's like this, Mr. Chen. Our "Honkai Impact 3" is about to be launched for public beta, and I wanted to talk to you about putting it on the Longxing Group App Store." Liu Wei stated his purpose.
"How much are you offering?"
Chen Xing is not in a hurry to discuss capital injection.
At the negotiation table, never let others see through your intentions.
This is a bit like visiting a ghost market. If you see a big bargain on antiques, you must not show any interest, because the stall owners are shrewd people. The more interested you show, the more valuable they will think the item is. In the end, they may not even sell it to you and just pack up and leave.
The best way to do it is to buy the antiques you found at a bargain together with other things so that the stall owner can't tell the real from the fake. If necessary, you can pretend to leave to force the other party to surrender.
"We'll pay 4000 million for the store promotion page, and it'll only be up for half a month. As for the download fee, how about 1 yuan per download?"
Liu Wei made the offer nervously.
Chen Xing also saw his uneasiness. It was obvious that the four giants of miHoYo had not really adapted to their identities yet and could not hide their emotions.
Now that the other party has revealed his weakness, there is no way he won't raise the price.
"Low."
"The promotion page of the app store can only be displayed for 4000 days at most with 7 million users. In addition, our Longxing Group has more than one billion daily active users around the world. The download price starts at 2 yuan. In addition, we have to take 60% of the recharge profit from the channel service."
Chen Xing's lion opened its mouth wide, which stunned the four giants of miHoYo. They just looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
4000 million for 7 days is barely acceptable. After all, Longxing Group now controls the lifeline of the mobile terminal.
But a single download costs 2 yuan...
This is really too expensive!
If 5000 million people download "Honkai Impact 3" through mobile phone stores, they will have to pay 1 million to Longxing Group.
There are very few companies in Longguo that can maintain a stable net profit of more than 1 million yuan each year, and they are leaders in the industry.
The most outrageous thing is the channel service, which actually takes 60% of the recharge profits.
Maybe many people don’t know what channel service is. Let’s put it this way, in order to cater to mobile phone manufacturers, general games will launch channel service versions of that manufacturer.
For example, if you take Kunpeng’s mobile phone and download Honkai Impact 3 from its app store, it is Kunpeng’s channel service. Although the data is the same as the official service, the mobile phone manufacturer will charge money for it.
"60% is too much, Mr. Chen. We can only accept 30% at most. If it's more, our operating costs won't be enough."
Song Xiaotao responded.
"Yes."
Liu Wei also nodded and agreed, "Apple only takes 30%. Mr. Chen, just think of it as supporting domestic games and charge less."
"It's not that I don't want to lower the price, but I also paid the same price to Penguin. If I set this precedent for you, what should I say when Penguin comes knocking on my door later?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "And you have to think about it. "Honkai Impact 2" is already a hit in the market, and "Honkai Impact 3" will definitely have the trend of being a hit. Don't throw away the big watermelon for the small sesame seeds. Your competitors are eyeing you covetously."
Chen Xing first brought up Penguin, and then mentioned competition.
As we all know, Penguin has only one way to attack its competitors, and that is to copy and inject traffic.
For example, if the game you developed becomes a hit, the R&D department of Penguin will immediately launch a project and "copy" a similar game for streaming.
Because it owns QQ and WeChat, Penguin has no shortage of players.
Everyone knows what Penguin will do, but other companies really have no way to deal with it because the size of their player base is indeed not as large as theirs.
Liu Wei also heard the hidden meaning in Chen Xing's words and looked at the three entrepreneurial partners beside him.
Although miHoYo has officially turned a profit, the net profit from Honkai Impact 2rd alone is not enough to support them in paying the listing fee, not to mention they still have to invest money in game research and development.
Embarrassed.
tangled.
Overwhelmed.
Liu Wei, Cai Yu, Luo Hao, and Song Xiaotao's eyes and faces constantly showed their changing emotions, which was also seen by Chen Xing.
Seeing that the negotiations were about to reach a deadlock, Chen Xing's goal was achieved.
"How about this."
Chen Xing suddenly spoke up, with a look of embarrassment flashing across his face. He stated his true purpose, "I am also very interested in the ACG field. I have also tried your game Honkai Impact 2, which is very novel. I am also very optimistic about the future development of your company."
"Do you think this plan is feasible? My Longxing Group will invest 5 million yuan in you and acquire 30% of your shares. We will not charge you for downloads and promotions in the future."
"Mr. Chen, do you want to invest in us?"
Liu Wei was stunned for half a second. He had never expected things to develop in this direction.
The same thing happened to the other three members of miHoYo; they had not expected this at all.
You have to know that Longxing Group is now a well-deserved giant, and its absolute control over the mobile terminal makes it the "father" of all game manufacturers. If you can hold on to this thigh, taking off is really just around the corner.
"Well, you guys discuss it and it would be best if you can give me an answer in the near future. I will arrange someone to connect with you." Chen Xing nodded in confirmation.
"What else is there to discuss?" Cai Yu immediately expressed his opinion, looking at several partners and said, "It is our honor to be recognized by Mr. Chen. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"That's right." Luo Hao nodded and agreed, "The key is that we can't refuse the conditions set by Mr. Chen."
Both entrepreneurial partners said so, and Song Xiaotao and Liu Wei no longer had any objections.
If you want to make a living in this industry, you need background. If they can get the background of Longxing Group, they will probably have smooth sailing in the future whether it is financing or loans. This is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money.
"We have no objection, Mr. Chen."
“Who will take over?”
The four giants of miHoYo gave their response.
Chen Xing thought about it and responded: "I will send you his mobile phone number later, and you can contact him when the time comes."
"Okay Mr. Chen."
"Then Mr. Chen, we won't waste your time. After all, it's time for dinner."
"Okay, let's talk later."
As the video call ended, Chen Xing found Zhang Heting's WeChat ID and shared his WeChat business card and mobile phone number with Liu Wei.
Then, he pressed the recording button and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, I have an investment project for you. I plan to invest 5 million in miHoYo to acquire 30% of their shares, and waive their game promotion fees. Please take some time to meet with them."
"call out--"
The message arrived. After a while.
Zhang Heting's reply message appeared.
"Okay, President. I'll contact them right away."
After doing all this, Chen Xing put down his phone. Investing in miHoYo was definitely a great opportunity to make a lot of money.
Just like the investment in "Honor of Kings" two years ago, it brought Chen Xing hundreds of billions in dividend income.
Nowadays, everyone in the streets and alleys, from people in their 40s and 50s to teenagers, has played the game Honor of Kings.
A Heart of the Engine skin had a daily turnover of up to 1.5 million. You can imagine how terrifying the game's ability to make money is.
And "Genshin Impact" to be launched by miHoYo in the future is a phenomenal game that once surpassed Honor of Kings.
Although Longxing Group has hundreds of billions of liquid funds on its books, who would complain about having too much money?
Moreover, Longxing Group is a technology company with huge investment in research and development costs. Gao Zhengqian's ternary chip project alone has cost more than 30 billion yuan, and this is only the initial stage.
Only with stable cash flow can we prevent future risks.
……
After the investment project was handed over, Chen Xing continued to check the emails in his mailbox.
Many of them were looking for cooperation, but because they had no memory of their previous lives, many of them were directly screened out.
After processing dozens of emails, Chen Xing stretched himself.
I have to admit that although taking a vacation is nice and can relax the body and mind, the backlog of unprocessed emails can really drive people overwhelmed.
Chen Xing glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer desktop, released the mouse and muttered to himself: "It's half past twelve, let's go eat first."
Man is iron and food is steel. He knows very well the importance of eating on time.
How do stomach problems come about?
Many people suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction due to not eating on time, or skipping one meal and eating the next.
Chen Xing didn't want to get a stomach problem, so when he felt hungry, he went straight to his own cafeteria.
The canteen staff were not surprised by Chen Xing's arrival, because after the construction of the Bantian base, he had basically had three meals a day in the canteen.
The fact that trillion-dollar CEOs all eat in the cafeteria is enough to show how clean the food is.
"Auntie, give me this sweet and sour spareribs, this braised eggplant, a chicken drumstick, and this spicy tofu."
The auntie who served the food was also a smart person. When she saw Chen Xing coming to get the food, not only did her hands stop shaking, but she also served a particularly large portion.
"Mr. Chen, please eat slowly."
The aunt pressed the amount skillfully.
The four dishes only cost 10 yuan in total, plus 3 cents for rice and free soup, a meal only costs 10.3 yuan.
This price can be achieved because the canteen of Longxing Group is not operated for the purpose of profit.
If a canteen is run with the intention of making a profit, cost-saving and cutting corners are inevitable.
Precisely because of various considerations, Chen Xing and Liang Ruolan had no intention of running the canteen for profit, which can be considered a benefit for employees.
"drop--"
Chen Xing chose to pay via WeChat.
After paying the money, he found a separate table and sat down.
Other employees who were eating, including the supervisor, did not choose to get close to him. Whether at school or at work, most people keep a distance from the big boss.
This is like the school leaders. You can get along well with the class teacher and have a good relationship with the director, but if you meet the principal, which student would dare to talk to him?
It’s good enough if you don’t hide too far away!
Chen Xing also knows his own limitations. He will not force his way into the circle of employees, but will find an empty table and quickly solve his own food and clothing problems.
"Brother Xing, I'll show you something good."
While Chen Xing was still eating, someone suddenly sat down opposite him.
Chen Xing shifted his gaze from his phone to look at the young man in front of him. He was none other than Gu Ren, who dropped out of Northern Border University in 2014 and joined Longxing Group.
At that time, alumni of Northern University were still laughing at him, saying that he gave up his studies to attend a prestigious university and instead joined an unknown small company.
But now, his schoolmates regretted why they did not follow Gu Ren to join the company.
You have to know that the entry threshold of the current Longxing Group is not something that Peking University or Tsinghua University can reach. One must be a big shot in the industry.
"What good stuff?"
Chen Xing put down his phone.
Gu Ren took out a transparent sealed bag, placed it on the table and said, "Just now I heard someone say that you were in the cafeteria, so I came to see you with some materials. This is the superconducting material that our team discovered."
"!!!"
Chen Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Superconducting materials?
Room-temperature superconductivity?
He looked at the black material that was only half the size of a fingernail and his breathing became faster. He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, room-temperature superconducting material?"
"It is not room-temperature superconductivity, but quasi-superconducting materials. It belongs to the category of superconductivity, but it does not meet the conditions for room-temperature superconductivity."
Gu Ren explained.
Just after he finished speaking, he continued: "Although it has not reached room temperature superconductivity, it only needs to be placed in a low temperature environment of -96 degrees to make it superconducting."
"-96 degrees low temperature environment."
Chen Xing murmured to himself.
If he remembered correctly, currently known superconducting materials, such as niobium, would only exhibit superconducting properties in an extremely low temperature environment of -260 degrees, which is close to absolute zero.
In addition to niobium, NbZr alloys, NbTi alloys, as well as lead, tin, and silver all have superconducting properties under specific conditions.
Although these materials have superconducting properties, their actual application range is very limited. After all, superconducting materials are part of energy transmission, and you can't let the internal temperature of a mobile phone reach -260 degrees. So these materials only prove that superconducting properties exist and they don't have much use.
"I feel that it can be further improved, and maybe room-temperature superconductivity can really be achieved."
Gu Ren became more and more excited as he spoke.
He never thought that he would be able to develop a superconducting material that can operate in an environment of -96 degrees. Just like the Nobel Prize winner for graphene, no one thought that he could win the Nobel Prize with just a roll of tape.
"Open Gu Ren's panel."
Chen Xing did not answer him, but just read the panel silently.
【Name】: Gu Ren
[Type]: Scientific research talents
[Qualification]: Red
[Character]: Optimistic (not afraid of failure, dare to face setbacks, the success rate of experiments is significantly improved)
[Main focus]: Materials and energy
[Proficient in technology]: battery improvement, battery design, material synthesis and research and development.
[Loyalty]: 100
Monthly salary: 50
[Special Item]: Chen Xing's Fanboy (Loyalty never decreases, and all-round attributes are improved when working for Chen Xing)
[Technology being tackled]: New anti-magnetic materials, new heat dissipation materials, room-temperature superconducting materials...
【Special analysis technology】: New antimagnetic materials (analyzable), new heat dissipation materials (analyzable), room temperature superconducting materials (analyzable)...
"It's actually red quality, and the analysis column for room-temperature superconducting materials has also been unlocked." Chen Xing carefully checked the panel information.
When the technical analysis function was turned on, he discovered that Gu Ren had an analysis column for room-temperature superconductivity, but at that time it was only of gold quality and the analysis was not open.
Now it has been upgraded to red quality, and the relevant technical analysis column has also been unlocked.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Xing responded calmly: "Room-temperature superconducting materials are enough to change the world. If you encounter any problems, you can contact me directly and I will solve them for you."
"Brother Xing, there really is one." Gu Ren was not polite, rubbing his hands and said, "I won't mention the funding, it's barely enough, but as for the equipment, Su Chen said it's hard to get it."
"What equipment do you want?"
Chen Xing grasped the key point.
"There are quite a lot of equipment required, such as a pulsed laser deposition system with three beams, a vacuum melting furnace, a superconducting quantum interference device, and a cryostat..."
Gu Ren listed them one by one and told Chen Xing about dozens of devices.
Finally, he did not forget to add that it would be best if it was the equipment used by the neighbor next door.
We have to admit that when it comes to precision equipment in the field of materials, our country is indeed far ahead of the rest of the world. After all, they completed their industrial upgrade in the 70s.
It is precisely because of its technological leadership that the resource-poor island country has been able to rely on export trade to become a developed country and has also purchased 110 million square kilometers of land in Brazil.
"I can't remember so many devices. How about this? Make a list and send me the model numbers via WeChat. I'll try to get them for you."
Chen Xing responded in a deep voice.
If artificial intelligence is the fourth industrial revolution, then the fifth industrial revolution will definitely be room-temperature superconducting materials, because room-temperature superconducting materials are a prerequisite for controlled nuclear fusion.
Why is room-temperature superconducting material a prerequisite for controlled nuclear fusion?
As we all know, controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that uses high-temperature plasma to control nuclear fusion reactions and thus release huge energy.
Superconducting magnets can generate strong magnetic fields to confine plasma and maintain the stability and controllability of nuclear fusion reactions.
Therefore, superconducting materials play an irreplaceable role in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, and countries around the world are also investing manpower and material resources in research and development.
"Okay, Xing."
Gu Ren grinned. This was exactly what Chen Xing wanted to hear.
Once room-temperature superconductivity comes out, it will at best change the world pattern and reshuffle the cards. To put it more deeply, it will be enough to allow mankind to officially enter the interstellar age. This is not an exaggeration at all.
Because even without talking about controlled nuclear fusion, just talking about magnetic levitation trains, room-temperature superconductivity can instantly kill any high-speed rail or train at this stage.
In addition, there is zero-loss energy transmission. According to public information, even in China, which has the "Ultra-high Voltage Transmission Technology", there is still a 6%-10% loss rate in power transmission. If this part of electricity is saved, it will amount to tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds.
Chen Xing was also quite excited, but he remained calm on the surface. He picked up the transparent sealed bag and asked, "Do you want this again?"
"Brother Xing, just take it. There are backups in the lab."
Gu Ren waved his hand.
He didn't know what Chen Xing was going to do with it, but since it was his eldest brother who wanted it, he didn't need to ask questions.
"Then I'll accept it."
Chen Xing put away the low-temperature superconducting material, as he was going to Hong Kong in a couple of days to discuss stock market integration.
When the time comes, you can show it to Wang Shan. Maybe you can use his power to get the equipment that Gu Ren needs.
