Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1379 The contrast is too stark.
Li Dongling did not urge Wu Yaoguo, waiting for his decision. The newly established software company might be very profitable in the future.

However, in the early stages, at least for three to five years, or even longer, money needs to be continuously poured into it. The philanthropist Li needs to find several more big investors for it.

Moreover, these big investors aren't just randomly chosen; they need to have the resources that software companies require.

The two most important challenges in developing industrial software are data collection and software promotion.

Developing industrial software requires a large amount of data to build a large model and develop an algorithm.

Once the software is developed, it requires a lot of practical experience to obtain the most realistic data before it can be modified and optimized.

This takes time and requires channels to collect enough data and information from various factories and companies. Hanxi State-owned Investment Group, as well as various state-owned investment and state-owned assets companies in China, have a large number of machinery companies.

Therefore, introducing Hanxi Guotou is just the beginning; in the future, we will seek more major investors for it.

Then, by leveraging these big investors, they can collect data for software companies, promote software, and even, with these big investors involved, quickly seize the market once cloud computing is developed in the future.

Seeing Li Dashanren's smiling face, Wu Yaoguo shook his head helplessly, "Does Hanxi Kingdom have any other options?"

Li Dashan had already extended an invitation to him; if Wu Yaoguo didn't accept, wouldn't that make him seem incredibly insensitive?

Furthermore, even if the software company loses money, can Wu Yaoguo really stop investing? If he doesn't invest in this project, will Hanxi Guotou still have the opportunity to enter other projects of Dongling High-Tech in the future?

Ask around across China how many state-owned investment companies and state-owned asset management companies want to invest in Dongling High-Tech's projects but can't get the opportunity.

Putting aside whether you lose money or not, as long as there is an opportunity to invest, even if you lose money, there will be a lot of companies eager to give you money!

Even if you lose money investing in a software company, as long as you can establish a connection, you'll have a chance to make it back in the future.
If we get another project like Feiyan Technology, Torch Group, or Ruyan e-cigarettes, we'll probably make a killing!
"Hanxi Guotou has invested in this project. As long as it's your project, Brother Li, Hanxi Guotou will definitely support you."

Wu Yaoguo raised his glass, gestured to Li Dongling, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Li Dongling also drank a glass of wine with him, saying, "Software company projects are not easy to do!"

Li Dongling didn't hide anything from Wu Yaoguo and went straight to the point, telling him that the project was more difficult than he had imagined.

"but!"

"If the project can be completed, then I think, Lao Wu, in addition to the title of the godfather of venture capital in mainland China's chip industry, you will probably have another title: the godfather of venture capital in mainland China's industrial software industry!"

History will remember the decisions you made; textbooks might even record them!

Wu Yaoguo's reaction was unknown, but Li Dashanren's words made Liao Wei and Chen Jianglei, who were sitting at the banquet, start breathing heavily.

They knew, of course, that Li Dongling was just making empty promises, but what man could resist the temptation of getting into the textbook?

Not to mention, Wu Yaoguo is already destined to be in textbooks!
I don't know about other places, but in Hanxi's latest teaching materials, there are already reports of the "Tianji" chip.

Although it was only a brief report, it mainly focused on the research and development team of Tianji Chip, led by Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi.

However, the report also included a sentence about Wu Yaoguo: "Amidst doubts, Hanxi Guotou persisted in investing in domestically produced chips, filling the gap in domestic computer chips." Although it was only one sentence, it affirmed Wu Yaoguo's achievements!

In the future, when reporting on the development of the history of domestically produced chips in China, the state-owned status represented by Wu Yaoguo and Hanxi Guotou will definitely be unavoidable and will certainly be written about extensively.

The further we go, the greater Wu Yaoguo's contribution to Dongxin Semiconductor will be!

To put it bluntly, based on this achievement, even if Wu Yaoguo lives off his past glory for the rest of his life, no one can shake his position.

After all, in his previous life, even Xiang and Boss Liu were featured in textbooks. How could Dongxin and Wu Yaoguo be any worse?
Having already earned the title of "godfather of venture capital in the domestic chip industry," could Wu Yaoguo possibly add another title—"godfather of domestic industrial software"?

Others might say Wu Yaoguo might get the title, and Liao Wei and the others just laughed it off, but who would dare to underestimate what Li Dashanren said?!

But is this reasonable? Is there any justice left?
Liao Wei and Chen Jianglei stared at Wu Yaoguo, feeling like they were about to grind their teeth to dust. They wondered if this guy really possessed some kind of miraculous "Great Fortune Gu," because his career prospects were just too damn good!
Upon hearing Li Dongling's words, Wu Yaoguo's eyes visibly lit up, and his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head in a wide grin.

Achieving fame and fortune, leaving a lasting mark on history—who could refuse that?

"Reputation is nothing but an external thing; you can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die."

Wu Yaoguo waved his hand, with an expression that showed he regarded fame and fortune as dirt, as if he didn't care about fame and fortune at all.

But those who know Wu Yaoguo well know that he had long ago hidden the textbook that reported on him at home, wishing he could give a copy to everyone in Hanxi.

"If you're in a position, you have to fulfill your responsibilities. If you're a monk, you have to ring the bell properly every day. I'm surnamed Wu, and in my position at Hanxi Guotou, I have to live up to this position and never slack off in my duties!"

Wu Yaoguo spoke with an air of righteous indignation and awe-inspiring authority, exuding an air of self-sacrifice for the world. Seeing Wu Yaoguo's expression, Liao Wei and Chen Jianglei secretly spat in disapproval. How come they had never noticed before that this guy was so shameless?

Seeing the "disdain" in Liao Wei and the other man's eyes, Comrade Lao Wu didn't care at all. If they were in his seat, they might have been even more pretentious than him!

After the banquet ended, Wu Yaoguo, Liao Wei, Chen Jianglei, and the others dispersed. They were heading back to Hanxi Provincial Capital that very night, where a whole host of matters awaited their attention.

Moreover, regarding the establishment of Dongke Power, Wu Yaoguo and his team also had to report to the Hanxi Provincial Government, Yanjing Power Corporation, and other departments, and at least complete the necessary procedures and formalities.

After stepping out of the Oriental Tower building, Li Dongling looked up and saw that the entire Dongke Global Headquarters Park was brightly lit.

If viewed from the air, the entire Dongke Global Headquarters can be seen in its entirety, making it the area with the best nighttime view in Pingyang.

Currently, the LED lights on buildings such as the Oriental Tower are not yet turned on. On important days, when all the LED lights of the Dongke Global Headquarters are turned on, the Dongke Global Headquarters will become the most eye-catching scenic spot in Pingyang and even Hanxi!

……

"With the approval of the Hanxi Provincial Government and Yanjing Power Corporation, the 'Dongke Power' project, which includes the Hanxi Provincial Power System Pilot Project, innovative measures to solve the power supply bottleneck in specific industrial parks, Hanxi's key projects in 1999, and the Hanxi Provincial Power Integration Project, has been approved today!"

"The launch of the Dongke Power Project marks a new stage in the power industry in Hanxi Province. The first phase of the project will completely change the power landscape in Hanxi Province!"

"Dongke Power Company, jointly invested by Dongling High-Tech, Hanxi State-owned Investment, Hanxi Power, and Hanxi Energy, with a total investment of 43 billion RMB, has been officially established!"

"Dongke Power will become an important part of the Hanxi power system. After its completion, it will increase the total power output of Hanxi by more than 10%, and will also contribute to the domestic power equipment industry!"

The provincial television station of Hanxi devoted nearly ten minutes to announcing the establishment of Dongke Power during its evening news program, which was broadcast before the main news broadcast.

Most viewers in front of Hansi TV simply watched this news report once, and many had no idea what the significance of today's reports was.

But in the entire Hanxi area, the establishment of Dongke Power was like a thunderclap. The investment of 4.3 billion RMB was almost another project like Torch Group or Pingyang Airport.

Those who know the inside story are well aware of the significant impact these two projects will have on Pingyang.

Now another key project has been launched in Pingyang. This project is different from the others. Once Pingyang solves its power shortage problem, it will likely create a siphon effect, attracting a large number of companies to settle in Pingyang!

"Is Pingyang even letting us live?"

Liang Bohua, the head of Shangtai City Government, had just returned home from a busy day at the city government when he saw the news about Dongke Power on TV.

Liang Bohua was really envious. Shangzhong and Pingyang are neighboring sister cities, but now the difference in their levels is not exactly worlds apart, but Shangzhong is being left far behind by Pingyang.

Furthermore, Liang Bohua had even heard that the provincial government of Hanxi Province intended to promote a Xiyuan-Pingyang integrated urban development plan.

Whether the news is true or false is hard to say, but Liang Bohua knows that it is very likely true, and someone has leaked it.

But if you ask Liang Bohua how he feels about this rumor, he's completely baffled.

The provincial capital of Hanxi already had advantages, attracting talents and companies from the entire Hanxi region to settle in the provincial capital. Pingyang's rapid rise in recent years has also created a siphon effect.

If these two things are combined, Liang Bohua feels mentally exhausted and doesn't want to talk.

However, Liang Bohua knew that no matter how many rumors circulated, Shangzhong now needed the support of Pingyang, or rather, Dongling High-Tech.

Now, a number of rapidly developing companies have emerged in Shangzhong, such as Shangci Company, which is already the leader in the flooring industry in Hanxi and several surrounding provinces, and Tangyao Group, which has driven the rapid development of Chinese herbal medicine planting in the entire Shangzhong area. These are all companies invested by Dongling High-Tech.

Other companies in the business sector are also thriving by supplying goods to Oriental Times Shopping Mall and entering Focus Media's TV shopping channel.

Therefore, Shangzhong is now very determined to cling to Pingyang's coattails.

Watching the news on TV, Liang Bohua narrowed his eyes. It was true that Dongke Power had settled in Pingyang, but who said that the electricity generated by Dongke Power must be in Pingyang? Why couldn't they run a line to Shangzhong?

……

In Bohai City, Shandong Province, Zhang Shiping, the founder of Weiqiao Group, who had just returned from a cotton mill, was puzzled when he saw a news report on Qilu TV about Dongling High-Tech building its own power plant.

Weiqiao is also preparing to build its own power plant to supply electricity to its own cotton textile mill, which will reduce costs and make its prices more competitive.

Weiqiao was only preparing a 78,000-kilowatt power plant, but when he saw a certain philanthropist come up with a plan to build a 500,000-kilowatt plant, Zhang Shiping felt uneasy.
