Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 169: IPO and Electric Vehicles
"In most R&D processes, a considerable part of the work of researchers is actually repetitive, inefficient, or even useless. If artificial intelligence can be used effectively, it can greatly improve R&D efficiency, allowing R&D engineers to focus more on innovative R&D and avoid inefficient and meaningless work!"

"For example, in my company Galaxy Life, we are trying to use big data analysis to conduct a large-scale screening in the early stage, and then conduct detailed comparative testing and research and development after narrowing the scope. This can greatly reduce the research and development costs!"

Ordinary people, even some ordinary wealthy people, have never heard of the matter of galactic life, but for the truly wealthy and powerful people on Earth, this is an open secret...

How to say it, in fact, many people know that Xu Shenxue brought together a group of super rich people to develop an anti-aging project. The angel round investment was more than 3 billion US dollars. Those rich people didn't even want shares, but only the right to use the research and development results.

In addition, there are many super-rich people watching from behind, ready to invest money into it.

Even if Xu Shenxue is not that amazing anymore, but with billions of dollars invested in research and development, he should be able to produce something, right?
This is much better than starting a new stove on your own.

Of course, the funds provided by the super-rich are also limited, and there are many R&D projects in various life fields on the market, so they have to weigh who to give priority to...

But for these wealthy people, they will definitely invest in the field of life and health, it’s just a matter of who the investment is in charge of the project.

Now it seems that Galaxy Life is more reliable... At least the initial investment is large enough, many technical routes are being laid out at the same time and have entered into actual research, and it is rumored that there have been some theoretical results.

Although hope is still slim, at least it gives people a glimpse of hope.

Regarding the matter of galactic life, all we can say is that we know what we should know, and it is useless to ask about what we should not know...

When Xu Shenxue talked about Galaxy Life, the group of people on the opposite side were also very calm... A company called Zhiyun Technology emerged from their own hometown, and a person like Xu Shenxue appeared, and caused such a big fuss, it was impossible not to pay attention to Xu Shenxue.

If you say Xu Shenxue is in real estate, the Internet or something like that, no one would bother to pay attention to him even if he has a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars.

However, Xu Shenxue is different. He is serious about high-tech. He plays with smartphones, and is also involved in the fields of semiconductors, chip design, and chip manufacturing... and in the future he is also aiming for things like artificial intelligence and smart cities.

The meaning is completely different.

At this time, Xu Shenxue continued to say:

"In the field of production, my company Weiku Industrial has previously tried to build a dark factory to meet some of the processes of the smart terminal business. The production efficiency is very high. Although the current investment cost is very high and the limitations are also great, it cannot be fully promoted, but it still represents a new trend of future development."

“The field of artificial intelligence can also be used in other fields. For example, unmanned mobile terminals equipped with efficient AI can achieve autonomous perception, decision-making, and execution without the need for real-time remote control. The entire process only requires the remote control personnel in the back to determine whether execution is required!”

"Let me give you a simple example. If I don't want to sweep the floor, I can develop a sweeping robot. The robot can use various sensors, such as different types of radars and cameras, to sense objects and human activities in the room. It can then make calculations and adjustments using a special algorithm, and finally determine the sweeping route and sweeping priority. The robot can then use a mop to do the cleaning!"

"All of these ultimately require high-performance AI chips... to provide massive computing power to calculate big data models, and ultimately train a big data model, which is an AI model!"

"At the same time, high-performance AI chips are also needed to be deployed in unmanned mobile terminals to undertake real-time calculations of massive amounts of perception information."

"A large number of unmanned mobile terminals require the coordinated command of a large number of large-scale AI in a large number of frontier distributed computing centers, and these frontier distributed computing centers also require high-performance AI chips."

"All of this ultimately depends on advanced AI chips!"

"However, in addition to advanced top-level chip design, AI chips also require chip factories that can provide top-level processes... This is inseparable from a fully autonomous advanced semiconductor industry chain!"

“The future is the future of computing power, and computing power comes from chips!”

"Chips are the infrastructure of modern industry and life."

"The semiconductor industry is a basic industry that provides this infrastructure, and its importance is almost as important as water, electricity, and oil."

-

After the first symposium, Xu Shenxue attended another symposium three days later, and the atmosphere of this symposium was more relaxed.

Xu Shenxue also took the opportunity to propose several new industries that he wanted to continue to develop.

For example, if you want to make electric cars, you also want to make rockets!
As for electric cars, it’s not really important whether the technology is good or not, whether they can spontaneously ignite, whether they are smart or not, whether they can drive automatically, etc. At least Xu Shenxue is not very concerned about these things at the moment.

Xu Shenxue is concerned about the fact that electric cars do not burn oil... Well, the people attending the symposium are also more concerned about this. This means that we do not need to import a large amount of oil... This means that energy can be further independent.

In addition, the automobile industry is more likely to boost the economy and create more jobs than the consumer electronics industry. After all, it is a large industrial consumer product.

A mobile phone costing several thousand yuan can drive a whole host of industrial chains.

Not to mention cars that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Behind a car is a large supply chain.

Although electric cars were difficult to make in the early days due to technical reasons and were money-losing products... and no one could have imagined that electric cars would be so popular in the future.

Therefore, many people are still worried and skeptical about this.

But who is Xu Shenxue? He is the man who created Zhiyun Technology. Since he said that electric cars are promising and he even plans to do it himself, then this is worth talking about.

In addition to electric vehicles, rockets are a more sensitive area because currently ordinary private enterprises are not allowed to engage in this.

But Xu Shenxue said that he was not working on ordinary rockets, but reusable rockets. He was working on high technology and aiming at the future... and he wanted to use this reusable rocket to provide commercial launch services to the world. This thing would be very profitable if it was done well.

Then we can also build a low-orbit satellite Internet network covering the world... Low-orbit satellite network, Xu Shenxue has talked about this thing on many occasions, and many people know that this is part of Xu Shenxue's plan for the future smart transportation plan.

Without a large number of low-orbit satellite networks, how can we monitor and command so many unmanned vehicles and flying cars?

Although this matter is sensitive, it is not impossible to do it!
After all, the United States next door already has commercial aerospace companies, and Max is doing this kind of thing.

Finally, it was decided that he could give it a try... It's hard to say about other things, but what if he succeeds in making a replica rocket, that would be a good thing.

After two seminars, Xu Shenxue finally returned to Shenzhen with two approval documents!
One is car manufacturing, the other is commercial aerospace!

These two things will be nothing in a few years and anyone can get them if they have the basic qualifications, but they are still very difficult to get now.

Only people like Xu Shenxue, who always talks about black technology and brags about everything, and has achieved many of the things he boasted about, can make some people consider it seriously, and then let him try it out with a try-it attitude.

Furthermore, the future of electric vehicles and reusable rockets described by Xu Shenxue also made them very excited!
Electric cars, which have both the attributes of energy security and job creation, are highly valued. Tesla was even given wholly-owned ownership for this reason... This is unique and directly breaks the precedent that foreign-funded car companies must form joint ventures with domestic companies.

So, when the outside world was still buzzing with the news of Zhiyun Technology's listing, Xu Shenxue quietly established two new companies.

The company that makes electric cars is 'HaiLan Automobile Co., Ltd.', which is wholly owned by Liuhe Investment under Xu Shenxue.

Then there is the 'Nanmen Aerospace Company'... Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is heading for the Nanmen Galaxy in the Centauri constellation... Xu Shenxue really looks forward to the day in the future when he can build a spacecraft that can explore the Nanmen Galaxy and go to the Nanmen Galaxy to see what kind of things there are.

This company is quite special. In addition to Liuhe Investment, some domestic investment companies also participated in the investment.

Even the early R&D team was recruited directly from existing domestic airlines... because there are basically only a few companies engaged in aerospace in China, and this kind of thing does not require money to poach people directly.

So the background of this company is a little more complicated.

After quietly establishing these two new companies, Xu Shenxue once again returned to the preparations for Zhiyun Technology's listing.

With the successful completion of several roadshows, Zhiyun Technology's listing has reached the final stage.

On September 27, Xu Shenxue and a group of people appeared at Nasdaq, ready to complete the bell ringing ceremony... If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the first and last time in Xu Shenxue's life that he will perform a bell ringing ceremony here.

He is even not sure whether he can come to the United States in the future... Well, it is highly likely that he cannot.

After all, what he is doing now is not much different from digging up the roots of Americans... He will be hated in the future. For the sake of his own life, Xu Shenxue does not plan to come to the United States in the future.

I don’t even plan to go to other countries. I’ll just stay in China from now on!

Of course...Xu Shenxue is still a good friend of American capitalists now. He helped a group of American capitalists to get rich. So when Xu Shenxue went to ring the bell, everyone laughed happily!
A capital feast has officially begun!
