Chapter 403: Being boycotted by peers? Lets see what Mo Yao does!
"Chairman, the report has been released."
When faced with inquiries from big bosses, Lu Kai came prepared. "Currently, China's commercial aerospace industry is still at a very early stage, and there are less than 100 domestic related companies."
It’s almost a small fight, and the big one has to be the national team.
"These commercial aerospace-related companies are distributed in satellite manufacturing in the upstream of the industrial chain, satellite launch and measurement and control in the midstream, and satellite operations and applications in the downstream."
And they basically provide supporting services, and there are very few that can take the lead.
"Relevant companies generally lack funds, and most of them are still in the technology research and development stage. They have neither proven products nor have they explored effective business models, let alone making profits."
Profitability problems are a problem all over the world.
"The commercial aerospace industry is characterized by high investment and long cycle. In the long run, it is indeed an industry with relatively high potential. But at least for now, it is not the best time to end it."
"I do not think so."
After reading the report, Zhang Shuo's confidence actually increased, and he said with a smile: "Because China's commercial aerospace is still in its early stages and it is a long-term project, of course, the sooner it ends, the better."
Technology research and development never happens overnight.
"But the problem is that currently there are almost no domestic commercial aerospace companies that master high-precision technologies, and some are even scam companies. If you want to enter the commercial aerospace track, it will be difficult to find an entry point."
Lu Kai still holds a pessimistic attitude.
This is different from making smartphones, electric cars and semiconductors before it sprouted.
Under Sprout, its patented technologies for smartphones mainly come from Nokia, while for electric vehicles and semiconductors, it relies on the acquisition of relevant domestic research institutions or companies.
They all have a solid foundation, and you just need to stand on the foundation and continue research and development.
However, the commercial aerospace field is very different from the mobile phone, automobile, and semiconductor industries. Although China also has a complete supporting industry chain and excellent research institutions, its degree of marketization is not high.
There are also barriers to technological transformation.
"Then what do you mean, we won't do it anymore?" Zhang Shuo was noncommittal.
"No!"
Lu Kai was inspired, "My idea is that it can be done, but the steps should be smaller at the beginning. First, register and establish a commercial aerospace company. In the early stage, it will focus on research and development, and first find out the ways inside."
Third-party feasibility analysis reports are always just smoke and mirrors.
“After you get deeper into this industry and understand the operating rules, you can then consider which directions can be pursued, which ones are promising, and which areas must not be touched.”
"It's best to establish cooperative relationships with relevant government enterprises and then consider increasing investment later."
Lu Kai's plan is undoubtedly more pragmatic.
But Zhang Shuo couldn't resist Zhang Shuo's cheating, and said with a smile: "I agree that the early steps can be smaller, but as for the future vision of commercial aerospace, I can give it now."
"Ting!!!"
Whether it was Lu Kai or Gu Mingzhang and other senior executives, they immediately straightened their backs and picked up their notebooks to record.
I know the big boss is going to make big moves again.
"First of all, the name of the new company is Nebula Technology." Zhang Shuo said.
Lu Kai and other senior executives had no objections.
The big boss has always been very "talented" when it comes to naming.
"The main vision of Nebula Technology is to launch a sufficient number of autonomous and controllable high-resolution remote sensing application satellites and communication satellites in low blue star orbits to form a constellation network to form a global high-time-resolution Earth observation capability and achieve
12-hour global coverage and 30-minute revisiting of key areas.”
Zhang Shuo's target is naturally the Starlink plan of the original space and time, but it is better than the Starlink plan.
Space Exploration Company proposed the Starlink plan in 2015, launched test satellites in 2018, and successfully launched the first batch of 60 satellites into predetermined orbits in 2019, and then entered a period of rapid development.
That means.
Nebula Technology still has a chance to catch up, at least not letting Space Exploration Company get ahead.
Twenty years later, not only space exploration companies around the world, but also other overseas giants such as Amazon, Sanxing, and Broadcasting have also proposed their own constellation plans.
Commercial aerospace will usher in a wave of capital boom globally.
The sooner you get off the field, the better your chances are.
"To realize this vision, in addition to the research and development of the satellite itself, we must also cooperate with the research and development of commercial rockets. Commercial rockets should be developed with characteristics such as reliability, rapid response, low cost, and miniaturization. The follow-up will also include the development of commercial space launch bases.
Construction and so on.”
There is a big difference between commercial aerospace and non-commercial aerospace.
It can be said that if Bu Ya wants to enter the commercial aerospace field, as the industry is still blank at the moment, everything from launch bases to rockets to satellites has to be done by itself.
There are no shortcuts.
"If this is the case, then investment is a bottomless pit." Lu Kai was still a little frightened.
"As you just said, first set up the company's framework, hire some technical experts, and conduct preliminary technical demonstrations. What happens after that may not be as scary as imagined."
This is also true.
The aerospace field is actually famous for its low cost, high output, and original time and space. China's aerospace budget for 2021 is only around 100 billion, which is not as scary as the outside world imagines.
It is even more incomparable to the level of money attracted by the chip industry.
Zhang Shuo is preparing to enter the commercial aerospace field. Essentially, he wants to use Nebula Technology as a platform to rationally invest part of the profits earned by Bu Ya into the field of aerospace research and development.
Sometimes, throwing coins is also a technical job.
"Understood."
Seeing that the big boss was resolute, Lu Kai no longer objected. After all, this would be a long-term investment. No one could predict where it would go in the future.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the current scale of the company, it has spent more than one billion to test the waters in the commercial aerospace field.
You can also afford the risk of failure.
And once it succeeds, Germination really hopes to become a great company.
High risk, high reward.
He seemed to have a bit of a gambler's mentality, but with the foresight of his big boss, Lu Kai immediately felt confident.
This is the charm of Zhang Shuo.
"Another point is that for the technical director of Nebula Technology, it is best to recruit people from the beautiful country, find top Chinese scholars who are engaged in relevant research in the beautiful country, and bring them back with high salaries." Zhang Shuo specifically asked.
He doesn't dare to poach the Chinese team.
Another significance of the existence of Nebula Technology is to use high salaries to attract those Chinese science and engineering scholars who are "living" overseas and return to work in China, instead of contributing to the enemy.
Fertile Soil Research Institute, Maili Group, Daosui Group, Mango Group, etc. are all playing similar roles.
"clear!"
Lu Kai is naturally well aware of the stakes involved.
………
After talking about commercial aerospace, Vice President Lu Qi mentioned something.
"Chairman, as public opinion regarding the collection of personal information and data security continues to ferment recently, according to feedback from Qinghe Technology, some small and medium-sized Internet companies have begun to stop using the office software Feixun in protest. Privately, they even
Some companies are proposing to boycott the cloud services provided by Qingyun Data."
This is the consequence of Bu Ya breaking the unspoken rules of the industry and becoming an enemy of the entire industry.
Some Internet companies under investigation will not reflect on their failure to do a good job, but will only think that it is the budding self-destruction that has cut off their financial path.
As the uncle said, Moya is a traitor in the industry. With such a big label, it is not surprising that the products of Moya are boycotted by peers.
The first ones to bear the brunt are Feixun and Qingyun Data.
This is all because the products such as Weixin and Maili mobile phones owned by Suiya are too strong. Even if many Internet peers want to boycott Suiya, they are still wary for fear of being retaliated by Suiya.
Ahri’s lesson in being cut off from external links by Weixin in the previous episode is still fresh in my mind.
"How did Zhao Xiaohu handle it?"
Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry to express his attitude.
"Zhao Xiaohu means to take a cold approach. Feixun itself does not seek profits. Those companies do not use it. It is only their loss and has no substantial impact on Qinghe Technology."
This is quite true.
"Can."
Zhang Shuo nodded in approval. Some clowns really can't make waves.
"What may really be affected is Qingyun Data's cloud services." Lu Qi reminded.
This is the most terrible thing.
Thanks to the massive investment of sprouts and the huge influence of sprouts in the industry, Qingyun Data has surpassed Ali Cloud and become the largest cloud service provider in China.
It would be really bad if we encountered resistance at this juncture.
You must know that cloud services are still in their infancy and have huge potential for future development. Qingyun Data cannot guarantee that it will not be surpassed by latecomers.
The key to the future is to compete in overseas markets with giants such as Flax Sun and Weiruan.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Shuo looked at the senior executives, but was still not in a hurry to express his opinions.
"I think there is no need to pay too much attention to these conspiracy theorists. To strike, you need to be strong. As long as the cloud services provided by Qingyun Data are good enough and affordable enough, the foundation of Qingyun Data cannot be shaken."
Lu Kai was the first to speak.
"agree!"
Many senior executives, including Lu Qi who raised the issue, nodded in agreement.
Obviously, although Sprout is now in a whirlpool of public opinion and is even at risk of being "attacked" by its peers, Sprout's senior management team is still as confident as ever.
And this confidence comes from the original intention of making products.
"Then since everyone has reached an agreement, I won't say anything more. Just one point, Mo Ya has exposed the loopholes in the industry, behaves upright, sits upright, and is not afraid of the criticism of his peers or these rumors."
Zhang Shuo was very pleased.
"In the face of counterattack, we not only cannot retreat, but also fight to the end with a clear-cut stand."
"I suggest that Qingyun Data also issue a public statement and tell the outside world that anyone who uses Qingyun services will ensure their data security and localized storage."
"Qingyun Data will also consciously accept official supervision to ensure the security of local data."
Such a shout.
It seems very unusual now, but seven or eight years from now, it will become one of the selling points of cloud services.
So why not bring it forward?
Since Sprout has a mission, it has the obligation to reshape the ecology of the Chinese Internet. Not only must it maintain competition with the three giants, but it must also purify the Internet ecology while competing.
This is not to say that the task is accomplished if you don't join in with others.
That won't work!
"Including MaiLi mobile phones, the MaiLi operating system that will be released in the second half of the year will also have to protect user information security as a very important selling point."
Pingguo has reaped a lot of dividends because of its closed ecology.
There is no reason for Maili Mobile to lag behind.
"clear!"
Gu Mingzhang smiled and wrote it down, and at the same time suggested, "I also have a suggestion. In the face of resistance from peers, can Qinghe Technology and Qingyun Data publish a blacklist to list all companies that are boycotting?"
"Well……"
This time it was Lu Kai and others' turn to look strange.
This is poisonous.
This means that those unscrupulous companies will not be subject to investigation, but will be put on the Internet to punish their corpses. With the current public opinion on the Internet, one wonders what kind of boycott these companies will encounter.
"I think it's okay."
Zhang Shuo, however, admired Gu Mingzhang's slyness, "Buya is speaking out for users, and users will naturally support us. This is what we deserve."
But I feel at ease.
"And one more thing."
Gu Mingzhang took the opportunity to report on the business he was in charge of, "Chairman Liang Song suggested that Weijing Semiconductor should start the construction project of the 28nm wafer foundry now."
"What's the reason?" Zhang Shuo asked.
You know, Weijing Semiconductor's 40-nanometer wafer foundry project has only just started.
"The reason given by Liang Song is that the 28nm wafer foundry project will take at least two years from project demonstration to design, to construction, and finally to production."
"As for the research and development of the 28nm advanced process, we are sure to achieve a breakthrough within one and a half years."
"Therefore, in order to achieve mass production of 28-nanometer chips as soon as possible, it is necessary to start the demonstration of the 28-nanometer wafer foundry project from now on. Otherwise, the follow-up may not be able to keep up with the research and development progress."
The development of Weijing Semiconductor is itself a race against time.
If we have to build a wafer foundry from scratch after making a breakthrough in the research and development of the 28nm advanced process, it will take too long.
"Of course, Liang Song also said that if the group has difficulties in arranging funds, it can also choose the second alternative, which is - after the current 40-nanometer wafer foundry is completed, it will be subsequently transformed and upgraded to a 28-nanometer production line. It can also meet the requirements." Gu Mingzhang explained.
"So that's it." Zhang Shuo finally understood and said with a smile: "Then let's choose the first option and build a new 28-nanometer wafer foundry."
In the future, the chip market will be in a state of shortage, so there is no need to worry about production redundancy.
Rather than renovating, it is better to build a new one.
"As for where to build the factory, we may not necessarily choose Luzhou, Jiangxia, Jianye and other cities to consider." Zhang Shuo did not want to say that he would bet all his treasure in Luzhou.
and.
Terui Semiconductor's 28nm wafer foundry is built in Luzhou, so it would be even more inappropriate to be crowded together.
"Then Jiangxia and Jianye will have to fight over each other again." Gu Mingzhang laughed.
Seeing Luzhou transform into the chosen one, because it bet on the software industrial park, it directly connected the semiconductor base. Jiangxia, Jianye and other places, all the jealous Halazis were everywhere.
Now that there is another opportunity, why not fight it out?
"Then let the news out first. This time we are investing in the construction of a 28nm wafer foundry. We hope that the local government can provide more support in terms of bank loans." This is Zhang Shuo's intention.
otherwise.
A 28nm wafer foundry, with an investment of nearly 20 billion, is really unsustainable now.
"clear!"
Gu Mingzhang naturally understood it.
………
After the meeting, Zhang Shuo called Lu Kai, the rotating president, to the office alone and asked: "I saw in the company briefing that WiChat is preparing to go public?"
As early as May 2011, shortly after Qinghe Technology launched the overseas version of Weixin wichat, it transferred the intellectual property rights of wichat to a new company registered by Jiaoyang Holdings in the beautiful country for a price of US$200 million.
Immediately afterwards, the new company carried out Series A financing, and Jiaoyang Holdings’ shareholding was reduced to 45%.
After more than two years of development, with the support of overseas capital such as the Pirate Saint Group, wichat has been developing smoothly in overseas markets and has become one of the top three social software.
Even overwhelm one.
After two more rounds of financing during this period, Jiaoyang Holdings' shareholding in Wichit was reduced to 28%.
corresponding.
WiChat's valuation has soared from US$900 million at the beginning to US$10 billion in one fell swoop.
It’s about the same as Tessla’s current market value.
"We are preparing to go public, but now there is a problem. After three rounds of financing, Jiaoyang Holdings is still the single largest shareholder of WiChat, which makes the regulatory agencies in beautiful countries still have some doubts." Lu Kai said.
"Hey!"
Zhang Shuo sneered, the beautiful country's double standards were really speechless and undisguised.
"Well, before WiChat goes public, Jiaoyang Holdings can consider transferring its shares in AT to its partner Dream Fund."
As a result, Jiaoyang Holdings only has 18% of its shares, which is enough to pass supervision.
"It can only be the."
Lu Kai still felt a little pity because he didn't know the truth about the Dream Fund.
You must know that with the current market situation, WiChat's stock price will definitely continue to rise after it is listed. Therefore, transferring WiChat shares on the eve of listing is really not cost-effective from an investment perspective.
It's like the cooked duck flew away.
Of course Zhang Shuo wouldn't feel sorry for it, this is just a trick of the left hand inverting the right hand.
Looking back now, the system transferred the Dream Fund overseas and injected the support fund into the Dream Fund. It was a stroke of genius, and it helped Mei Ya solve a lot of troubles.
And there is another benefit to doing this.
Even through share transfer, Jiaoyang Holdings can arbitrage US$1 billion from the Dream Fund before going public, which can be regarded as a powerful supplement to the sprouting cash flow.
The question now is, does the Dream Fund have a billion dollars?
[Overseas financial projects]: Dream Building Public Equity Fund Phase I, Xiaomeng Private Equity Phase I
--slightly--
After successive investments in Licheng Technology and Japan Storage, the cash on the Dream Fund's books was barely enough to complete this transaction with Jiaoyang Holdings.
But that's not all the Dream Fund is.
Under Zhang Shuo's instruction, as early as half a year ago, and taking advantage of the opportunity of budding investment to become famous, Dream Fund successively discovered a public equity fund and a private equity fund.
The funds raised will then be mainly used for investment in the stock market in beautiful countries.
Thus.
You can not only earn generous management fees, maintain the operation of the Dream Fund, but also obtain sufficient funds.
That is to say.
In the future, if the Dream Fund wants to cooperate with Sprout's overseas investments and acquisitions, it may not necessarily need to use system funds. It can completely use public funds or private equity funds to participate in the investment.
It's like spending a lot of money to achieve a budding strategic goal.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s perfect!!!
After such an operation, the subsequent support funds sent to the Dream Fund by the system can be returned to the Sprout Group through overseas debt.
To support the expansion of Germination in China and around the world.
And based on Zhang Shuo's "uncertainty" about the trend of the U.S. stock market in the next ten years, the return rate of the Dream Fund's investment in the U.S. stock market will probably far exceed that of the stock god Buffett.
It is by no means difficult to turn Howard, chairman of Dream Fund, into a new stock god.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone!
………
Two days later.
According to the decision of the group meeting, Qinghe Technology and Qingyun Data successively issued blacklists, and specifically stated that these companies that suddenly terminated cooperation were all after the self-destruction of the sprout.
Companies that are on the blacklist will no longer be able to cooperate with companies owned by Sprout.
And the list will continue to be updated.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.
"What the hell, you did something bad and you don't want to repent, but you blame Mo Ya?"
Netizens were also shocked.
"Such a shameless company must be boycotted!"
"Stop talking, I'm already checking the blacklist and uninstalling it. As long as the companies are on the blacklist, I don't use any of their apps. What the hell."
Soon there were "enthusiastic" netizens who compiled a directory of apps developed by these companies.
"Let's boycott these black-hearted companies, and these black-hearted companies are actually boycotting Suiya. It's really amazing."
"This wave, we must fight to the bud!!!"
"That's right, we can't let honest people suffer. If we don't do anything this time, then who will stand up in the future? From the perspective of our users, why do we seek justice?"
"Don't worry, hundreds of millions of netizens are the biggest supporter for the sprout."
"for sure!!!"
The reaction of netizens was similar to what Zhang Shuo had expected. No, it should be said that they were more indignant than expected. They immediately stepped into the dirt for the company that was on the blacklist.
No, it’s countless feet!!!!
And the promiscuous operation of Mo Ya really shocked his colleagues.
