Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Ted was incredibly efficient; a week after flying to Japan, he made a phone call and finalized the general transaction plan.

"The other side has confirmed that they can sign."

"So fast, what's the final price?"

"Renesas is even more anxious than we are. They were already planning to sell their shares to Shougang in two years, and their CEO publicly stated at last month's quarterly meeting that they wanted to divest inefficient assets. Shougang NEC, as an asset of NEC Electronics, will definitely be a non-performing asset of the previous administration after the acquisition."

"What about the price? What about the price? I don't care why they're selling it to me."

"Only 150 million RMB? To be honest, that price is a bit too low. Putting everything else aside, Nippon Electric has at least 140,000 square meters of land. Their offer is almost too good to be true."

"Isn't this a bit outrageous? I thought it would be at least 250 million. Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?"

Ted laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "I had this concern myself, but in the end I found that the contract was indeed fine. Finally, I asked a little hint. The other party said, 'Don't you have an EDA annual fee contract with Renesas for FlowEDA?'"

They're afraid that if they can't agree on a price here, and things drag on for too long, it will upset you, and you might refuse to let them use your EDA. So, they're simply willing to concede a little on this. After all, Shougang Solar is essentially a non-performing asset; they all think they won't get a single penny back in two years.

"Seriously? Am I really that easily angered right now?"

"Haha, you seem to be quite famous here in Japan. Their magazines even had a column about you, calling you Asia's strongest teenager. The general consensus is that you're a genius, a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), who, if he's even slightly unhappy, will abandon his job and chase after your company. TSMC and Icahn both have bleak futures because they offended you. Renesas is terrified; the company is already in turmoil, so they wouldn't dare mess with you."

Chen Yiran held her phone in silence for a while.

"I don't have any money either, I'm not even making any yet. Fine, that doesn't matter. Fax the contract over, I'll sign it and get this done quickly."

"This is another important piece of information I need to inform you about. Shougang should contact you back later. After we finalized the situation today, when we were drafting the contract, Shougang felt it was too troublesome and now wants to change the cooperation method."

Chen Yiran frowned and asked, "What's going on? Was there anything wrong with the previous cooperation arrangement?"

Ted, slightly puzzled, said, "I can understand Renesas's logic for making concessions. After all, they need to use your EDA. If you have a good relationship with them, or even if you optimize your services for them better in general, it will give them a huge advantage."

I really don't understand Shougang's actions. They suddenly issued a written consent letter, waiving their preemptive right to purchase, which puts them in a somewhat passive administrative position. Then they're preparing to buy the shares themselves. And then it's still a merger with Wanguoyuan. I'll contact you later to discuss the details.

"Alright, I'll wait for their response."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiran was a little confused. He didn't think Shougang had any bad intentions. But he really didn't understand the logic behind the actions of state-owned enterprises.

Hurry up and go to the study, have Dad play a game on the computer and give him some advice.

After hearing the situation, Mr. Chen thought for a moment and said, "Although I said I wanted to avoid suspicion and hadn't asked about this matter, they keep bringing it up in front of me on purpose. I'm sure Shougang has no other intentions and will still give you NEC. They won't ask for more shares, after all, your company is too famous now, Shougang will be lucky to get 5%."

"Why would you suddenly spend your own money to buy back the shares? I don't understand."

Mr. Chen laughed and said, "Hey, there's a possibility it's just for face. Although it's been agreed that only 5% of the shares will be given, the records are still different. Shougang itself bought back NEC shares, and you only have 5%. It gives you the feeling that you've tried your best but can only get 5%."

But if you were allowed to buy back half yourself, Shougang would still hold 5% without spending the money. Future generations won't believe that. What if your company becomes successful? Won't people say the original leadership had poor foresight, and that if they had bought back the shares and invested fully, they could have acquired a much larger stake?

Chen Yiran was shocked: "Just for this, you have to spend 1.5 million yuan yourself? That's RMB, not Japanese yen or anything like that."

"So what? This is the people's money, not theirs."

Chen Yiran didn't quite understand, but was deeply shocked.

But what shocked him even more was what Zhou Kang, the head of the strategic development department of Shougang Group, said when he called him at the end.

"Shougang is willing to use all of Shougang Electric's assets, plus the newly planned 15 square meters of industrial land next to Electric, as investment to acquire a 5% stake in Wanguoyuan."

"Um, okay, I have no problem with that."

That evening, Shougang urgently summoned Chen Yiran to their headquarters to sign the contract. They even took care of her resettlement as well.

Minister Zhou Kang had only one request: "I have any requests. Could the name of this returning company be Shougang Wanguoyuan? Don't worry, tell us if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

Both Shougang Group and Shijingshan District will do their utmost to help. Just focus on your development; I hope the newer wafer fab will be completed soon.

When Chen Yiran got home, she went to her father for help, completely bewildered.

At this moment, Chen's father handed him a piece of paper and said with a profound expression, "Hehe, I see you're very clever, but there are limits. I don't understand this matter. Take a look at this. This is what I found online and asked some acquaintances."

Chen Yiran looked down and saw that there were only a few numbers on the paper.

24,21,20,14,12.

"What is this?"

Chen's father then said in a very irritating tone, "Oh dear, our little genius doesn't even know much about his competitors. These are the land areas of SMIC's Beijing Yizhuang plant, Huahong NEC's Shanghai Jinqiao plant, SMIC's Shanghai Zhangjiang plant, Shougang NEC's Shijingshan plant, and Shanghai Advanced Semiconductor's plant."

Chen Yiran rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "Seriously? So they're just giving my land a name so it can become the largest wafer fab in China by area, to gain some fame? That's useless. In reality, NEC hasn't even used all its land; they've only used less than half. The land area figure is just to fool laymen."

"Those who read the report aren't experts. How many people actually bother to understand the specific area and how much of it is actually used? Besides, couldn't you just try and fill it up? Let me tell you, when you went to sign the contract today, our director sent me a text message with only one number on it: 10,000."

"What does this mean?"

"Shougang Group has 10,000 mu of land in Shijingshan, which translates to 8 million yuan per square meter. There's plenty of land. If you're capable, you can build something like Samsung or TSMC. There's plenty of land available, and we won't take a single penny from you."

Chen Yiran sighed helplessly: "Dad, you really have wild ideas! Do you even know how much land Samsung and TSMC occupy?"

"I really didn't know it was twice the size of our biggest one?"

"Ten times larger, over two million square meters!"

"...Wow, that's amazing! Fine, just make whatever you like. Let's eat. Your mom's back at work tidying up the union's New Year's goods. It'll just be the two of us for lunch. How about some sesame noodles?"

"Why would you eat sesame noodles in the dead of winter?"

"It's hot with the heating on, so I'll have sesame noodles."

-------

At Shougang Wanguoyuan, the bigwigs they've brought in won't be able to start work until after the Lunar New Year.

In the United States, Chen Yiran also gave Gao Dewei an order: veteran employees would have a seven-day holiday for the Lunar New Year.

We've been working at full capacity for eight months now; even the toughest animals need a rest.

Of course, new employees need to continue to work hard.

After that, Chen Yiran truly began a full vacation, going to her maternal grandparents' home in Heishitou Village, Wulituo, Shijingshan District, to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

Chen Yiran's maternal grandfather, Liu Dehou, was a low-level cadre in Wulituo, Shijingshan District. He was in charge of logistics when Wulituo was still a township. He worked there his whole life and retired as a deputy section chief.

Grandma Wang Xiulan was an ordinary staff member of the Women's Federation in Wulituo. She spent her whole life mediating conflicts and helping impoverished households apply for subsidies.

My maternal grandparents were already living a very good life in the village, and the house they built was also very nice.

After Chen Yiran became successful last year, his parents once again tried to persuade the elderly couple to move to the city, but to no avail.

They spent a lot of money to demolish and rebuild the entire house.

The original two-story building has been expanded to three stories and an elevator has been installed.

The exterior walls are covered with golden tiles, the facade has two white Roman columns, and the roof is covered with a row of red glazed tiles.

Chen Yiran was shocked when she first arrived.

It turns out that houses really can be decorated in a way that is both luxurious and tacky.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen had no choice; it was the two elderly people who made the choice, and they couldn't do anything about it.

On the day before the Lunar New Year, my two maternal uncles and their families also came.

My maternal uncle, Liu Zhi, is a physics teacher at a middle school.

My second uncle, Liu Cai, works as an electrical engineering training instructor at Shougang Technical School.

Upon seeing Chen Yiran, Liu Cai immediately came over and tried to lift him up, exclaiming, "Come on, our great genius! Awesome!"

The eldest uncle looked helpless, but he still went over to help his brother. The two of them carried Chen Yiran around the yard for a long time.

The two aunts, holding the children, also joined in the commotion.

After more than ten minutes of fussing, the group finally got inside.

Chen Yiran began to retaliate, whispering in front of her grandmother: "Grandma, look, my second uncle has such a relaxed job these days, it's already the eve of the Lunar New Year, and he's only just come over!"

Grandma laughed and helped her grandson, "That's right, two unfilial children. Look at Yiran, he's been here for two weeks already."

The eldest and second uncles didn't dare to talk back and quickly started working to pick vegetables.

Chen Yiran went over and started teasing his two younger cousins, one a fifth grader and the other a second grader. While teasing Pidan, they both glared at Chen Yiran with great resentment.

Seeing him approach, the little cousin immediately started wailing, "Cousin, you promised to bring us fun things from America! Give them to me now! I heard you made a lot of money, so you have to give me some pocket money. I'm so miserable, my mom keeps saying my grades are bad and that I should learn from you so she can enjoy life later."

Grandpa tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, that's when she finally gets it. You can't force her. Look at Chen Yiran back in China, her studies weren't all that great. It's all about fate; maybe one day she'll do really well."

My second aunt sighed and said, "Dad, I wouldn't say anything if he had just passed, but how can a second-grader fail! He got a 30-something in Chinese and a 20-something in math!"

Grandpa paused for a moment, then took a string of corn cobs from the side of the door.

The scene was too brutal, so Chen Yiran quickly slipped away.

In the following days, Chen Yiran began his long-awaited life in the mountain village. He took Pidan and his two cousins ​​to set off firecrackers to blast ice blocks in the flood channel in the middle of the village, to steal offerings from the temple next door, and to jump down from the black stone at the entrance of the village.

It wasn't until the 30th of the month that the family watched the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Yiran showed his unsociable side; he simply couldn't get into the Spring Festival Gala and started watching the Bilibili New Year's Festival alone in his room. He hadn't actually watched this year's New Year's Festival.

The opening screen features the theme song "BiliBili★Burning Night," sung by sixteen people in a mix of Chinese and Japanese, and the comments section is already flooded with "Happy New Year."

Next up is "bilibili May Disease", which has a rough, hand-drawn art style.

When "Ge Pao Zhuan Zhuan" came out, the barrage of comments exploded, with the screen filled with apologies to Teacher Ge Ping.

"Let the Firecrackers Fly for a While" features Uncle IE and Green Dam Girl arguing, and 360 Girl and QQ Girl bickering. To be honest, the creativity of this era is no less than that of later ones.

Finally, it was midnight, and Jasmine came out to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Cheers to Bilibili! - ( ゜- ゜)つロ

Chen Yiran stretched: "Happy New Year! We did pretty well this year, right? Let's keep up the good work next year. Next week, get those top talents to get to work. In two years, we'll have our own chips!"
