Chapter 706: The first private aerospace company business license! Xiao Ma: You build rockets? 13.4 billion in financing!

That afternoon, Ali cursed and changed the trademark color scheme of Yaomao Mall, just because Huang Zheng was unethical. He spoke in a warning tone online, but privately sued Ali Baba immediately.

It has to change!

Zhang Jindong of Suning felt for the first time that Huang Zheng was a good person, and that he was even more despicable and shameless than Ma Liyun.

Far away in Beijing, Liu Qiangdong suddenly slapped his head and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Why didn't I think of this trick? Oh, by the way, I wonder if Ali has applied for a patent for the new color scheme of the trademark he just changed?"

Thinking of this, he immediately called the head of JD.com's intellectual property department and asked him to quickly register the relevant patents and trademark rights.

Lao Ma disgusted him, so of course he also disgusted Lao Ma.

The 2014 Double Eleven shopping festival officially kicked off with a patent infringement dispute.

Chen Yansen only stayed in Luzhou for two days before flying to Yanjing.

Han Jinheng promised that his aerospace company's license had been approved.

Although there is no precedent for private aerospace companies in China, Chen Yansen has created a lithography machine!

The last time they met, Han Jinheng asked him what reward he wanted.

Chen Yansen immediately responded, "I want a business license for a private aerospace company."

Han Jinheng and Li Qingsong were stunned on the spot.

There is a reason why they are confused.

First, according to the established domestic policies at that time, private capital was not qualified to get involved in the aerospace field;

Secondly, space activities involve a wide range of issues, including national security, airspace management, and compliance with international rules. However, China had not yet issued a comprehensive basic law on space activities at that time, and the relevant regulations were not only fragmented and scattered, but also had a low legal status.

For example, commercial launch vehicles and satellites are included in the weapons and equipment scientific research and production license catalog. Private enterprises must meet the strict standards of military products to be eligible to enter this field.

At the same time, the boundaries of power and responsibility between various management agencies are not clear enough, and information exchange is not smooth. This leads to the situation that when private capital wants to enter the aerospace field, it may face the dilemma of having no laws to rely on or regulatory conflicts. This makes the opening of private aerospace necessary to gradually improve the regulatory system.

Finally, aerospace technology is closely linked to national defense construction, and some aerospace activities also involve key issues such as sensitive technologies, military applications, and competition for space resources.

Just like satellite Internet, it is not only the space infrastructure of the information age, but also has important national defense strategic value. Its frequency and orbital resources also follow the international rule of "first come, first served".

If private space is fully opened up in the absence of effective management and control, it is likely to affect the country's control over strategic space resources and even lead to risks such as information security and technology leakage.

Therefore, Han Jinheng looked embarrassed at that time.

He really didn't dare to bring it up.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yansen immediately asked: Why hasn’t China been able to produce lithography machines yet?

Because there is no economic benefit and the entire process relies on subsidies, even if it can be produced, the strategic value of the developed products is greater than their industrial value.

Furthermore, since frequency and orbital resources are allocated to those who come first, it is natural that the first to act will have the upper hand, while the last to act will suffer the consequences. Why not give private aerospace companies a chance?

Thanks to Senlian Capital’s outstanding past performance, Han Jinheng finally agreed.

It took him a month just to coordinate the interests of research institutes in Northwest, East China and North China before the business license was finally finalized.

However, there are also prerequisites for the above. The state-owned capital shareholding ratio must not be less than 30%, and foreign investment institutions are not allowed to be introduced.

For Chen Yansen, it is enough to ensure controlling rights.

Before taking off, he called Ma Wenteng and asked, "Pony, I've started a new company. Are you interested in investing?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ma Ge was shocked and quickly patted his chest to declare: "As long as it's your project, I will invest in it with my eyes closed! Even if you want to build a rocket, I will also invest in it!"

From 2010 to 2014, every penny he invested in Chen Yansen could earn him several times or even hundreds of times the return on investment.

Because of this, Ma Wenteng decided to invest money without even figuring out what the project was and what it was going to do.

"Then I'll reserve a spot for you! The funding required for the first phase of the project is approximately 15 billion. So, whether you use Penguin's name or your own, 1 billion for 1% equity, up to a 3% share."

Chen Yansen said slowly.

"3 billion? No problem, I'll invest personally."

Xiao Ma agreed readily, paused, and then asked, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what specific products do you make?"

"Rocket!" Chen Yansen answered as a matter of course.

"What? Building a rocket? Are you kidding me?"

Brother Xiao Ma was stunned when he heard this, and his head felt buzzing.

Since when did the country allow private capital to enter the aerospace field?

"Did I ever joke with you?" Chen Yansen asked back.

"Are you in Luzhou? Let's talk when we meet."

Ma Wenteng took a deep breath and became interested.

He didn't have much interest in rocket building itself, but he was particularly curious about how Chen Yansen obtained a legal license.

"I'm at the airport. I'm going to Yanjing on a business trip this afternoon," Chen Yansen explained.

"Okay, I understand. See you in Yanjing then."

Ma Wenteng thought for a moment and said.

Two days later, the China Internet Security Conference will be held in Yanjing. He had not originally planned to go, but now it seems that it is just on his way.

1 billion for 1% equity?

To put it bluntly, only Chen Yansen dared to say this. If it were someone else, Ma Wenteng would probably not give the other person a good face.

What kind of crappy company, which hasn't even decided on a name yet, dares to make a bare offer and directly report a market value of 100 billion?

I think in China, only Chen Yansen deserves this confidence.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yansen called Ma Zheming of Apple, Ren Zhongfei and Meng Yuanzhi of Huawei, and with just a few words, he easily obtained hundreds of millions and billions of funds.

Before it even took off, Chen Yansen had raised 13.4 billion yuan.

Although it is difficult for these people to figure out the profit logic of private aerospace companies, since Chen Yansen took the initiative to contact them, no one would refuse to cooperate.

After all, the three words "Chen Yansen" alone were enough to make them decide to invest.

Everyone knows that since Chen Yansen entered the business world, he has never failed, let alone made a loss-making deal.

This is called word of mouth!

at the same time.

The news of the issuance of the first business license for a private aerospace company spread like wildfire, and research institute staff in Yanjing, Shanghai, Chang'an, Sichuan, Jinling and Jiangcheng also quickly received the news.

"Have you heard? This license was given to Senlian Capital!"

"That's ridiculous! Think about it, the design requirements for a rocket's thrust chamber and combustion chamber are so high. The materials used must be both high-strength and able to withstand high temperatures. The slightest mistake could cause an explosion! They're handing such a dangerous task over to a private company? What are the people above them thinking?"

"If it's Senlian Capital, it's not bad. They've always treated their employees well. I wonder if they're hiring now?"

"Xiao Zhou, are you thinking of changing jobs?" "We in the aerospace industry value teamwork and dedication the most. When you say that, don't you think about the training the institute has given you over the years?"

"Director, I was just joking."

Zhou Junping smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

But only he himself knew that he had spent enough time in the Eighth Research Institute in Shanghai.

A monthly salary of 12,000 yuan is indeed higher than that of his peers in Chang'an and Jiangcheng, but to be honest, the difference is very limited.

You should know that housing prices in the suburbs of Shanghai rose to 15,000 yuan per square meter as early as last year.

With his current income, even if he didn't eat or drink for ten years, he could only afford a small three-bedroom house at the junction of Shanghai and Lucheng, and he would have to spend four hours commuting every day.

He understands that astronauts must be dedicated, but dedication also has a prerequisite, right?

He has a family, with elderly parents and young children. He can't rent a house all his life, right?

Zhou Junping silently took note of this matter and prepared to go back and check the registered name of the company so that he could submit his resume in the future.

For a time, many low- and middle-level researchers in aerospace research institutes across the country could not help but secretly have some thoughts.

The big guys above have enough food and drink, but these ordinary researchers still live a very difficult life.

For these researchers, what they most hope for is that Chen Yansen can provide them with a job with a higher salary.

…

…

On October 10, while Pinbei held a mobilization meeting for the Double Eleven promotion, Xiaohongshu, which has been online for nearly two years, also launched a live broadcast function for bloggers and opened a special mall section, officially entering the commercial monetization stage.

Since Xiaohongshu, like Douyin and Kuaishou, shares Pinbei’s merchant and product resources, it only recommends different product pools based on the different types of users on each platform.

For Huang Zheng, Xiaohongshu, with 60 million daily active users, can play a significant role in boosting Pinbei's performance growth.

In contrast, Taobao Live (formerly Laiwang), after investing more than one billion yuan, still has less than 10 million active users. Buyers are still concentrated in the live broadcast channel of Taobao App and are not willing to download another app for this purpose.

Compared with Douyin and Kuaishou, the gap between the two is very obvious.

The next morning.

Huang Zheng sat in his office, looking through the first data of Xiaohongshu's e-commerce business, and his mood suddenly improved.

Yuan Wei reported with a delighted look, "As of midnight last night, Xiaohongshu's e-commerce business had a first-day transaction volume of 160 million yuan, of which the GMV of the live broadcast room exceeded 130 million yuan, accounting for 80%."

Huang Zheng nodded and then instructed, "Tell the customer service department to monitor user feedback on Douyin, Kuaishou, and Xiaohongshu, such as delivery speed, product quality, and after-sales service, and monitor public opinion on the platforms from all aspects."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, I'll talk to Mr. Fei later."

Yuan Wei responded.

The other side.

Western Guangdong.

Lu Caimei, 37 years old this year, held her mobile phone and clicked on the recruitment section of Orange Construction.

Recruitment position: Canteen Auntie

Monthly salary: 12,000 to 18,000 yuan.

Scope of work: Responsible for the daily cleaning of the canteen to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the dining environment; responsible for the cleaning, cutting and cooking of ingredients to ensure the safety and quality of the dishes.

12,000 to 18,000?

Could it be that the salary is marked incorrectly?

Lu Caimei rubbed her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.

If she had not been sure that she had clicked on the official website of Orange Construction, at first glance, she would have thought that she had accidentally entered a recruitment website in northern Myanmar.

Looking at the workplace, it was actually in Abyssinia.

Where is this?

Lu Caimei muttered to herself.
