Chapter 608: Brother Sen’s wealth has increased by another 6.7 billion US dollars! Mass V1.0?
The next day, April 24, Mimo launched a short drama playback app called ShortMimo.
The first batch of short dramas to be launched include "Traveling Through 911 and Starting to Save the Twin Towers", "The Daughter of a Werewolf Family", "Discovering the New World, I Landed Before Columbus", "During the Civil War, Lincoln Invited Me to Come Out of Retirement Three Times" and "Marrying My Brother's Ex".
The routine is exactly the same as Orange's short drama. The first 20 episodes are free, and the rest are paid, with each episode costing 0.2 US dollars.
It doesn't look expensive, but one episode is only three minutes long, and a short drama has at least seventy or eighty episodes.
Despite the awkward plot and the fact that the actors were all minor Hollywood supporting roles, ShortMimo gained tens of millions of downloads in just half a day thanks to Mimo, a short video platform with over 200 million daily active users.
Users in North America were cursing while spending money.
They had never seen such a strong emotional vertical screen short drama before, and they felt that the more they watched, the more addicted they became.
Before I knew it, dozens of US dollars were gone.
The news quickly spread back to China, and netizens were stunned at first, and then speechless.
"Who did it?"
“There must be Chinese people behind the scenes directing this!”
"All we have is dregs, bah! And the essence has been copied by foreigners."
"I checked! The production company behind these short dramas is a subsidiary of Kuaiying."
"Don't tell me, I really want to see it."
“Can we make a movie called ‘I was a homeless man and found Thanos’s glove’?”
"It's finally our turn to export our culture!"
"Good news, our culture is going global; bad news, it's all rubbish!"
"The Shadow Company? No wonder they're so familiar with it!"
Netizens' speculation was soon confirmed. Some media outlets revealed that most of the core members of the short drama production team had experience working in the domestic short drama industry.
However, many people just made a few jokes and put the news behind them.
After all, Liu Qiangdong will ring the bell on Nasdaq today. Netizens are more concerned about whether Liu Qiangdong will invite his ex-girlfriend and whether Milk Tea Sister will go to the scene in New York.
After getting rid of the burden of the logistics department, Dongfang finally achieved profitability in the first quarter of 2014.
Xu Xin of Today Capital couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This investment lasted for seven years. During this period, Yidong faced the crisis of bankruptcy several times, and she also provided bridge financing for Liu Qiangdong five times.
Fortunately, she won the bet!
Other investors felt similarly, feeling like they had finally made it.
For this, many people expressed gratitude to Chen Yansen.
If Senlian Capital had not taken action to split off Dongfang Logistics and acquire shares in Dongfang, based on the tone of Wall Street brokerage firms, they would definitely not have given a valuation of US$30 billion, and at most US$24 billion.
…
…
Senlian Technology Park, top floor office of Building 1.
Chen Yansen moved his mind and withdrew from the innate state of [Planck Clock].
He just persisted for eleven seconds!
Although only eleven seconds had actually passed, to him it felt like eleven long hours.
He opened the editor and made one last revision to the current EDA software.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yansen named the technical document "Mass V1.0" and sent it to Mike Keller.
As Tiangong Technology's competition in the semiconductor industry intensifies, who can guarantee that Synopsys and Xilinx will not impose restrictions at the EDA software level?
That is why during this period, Chen Yansen frequently used his talents to develop a design EDA software.
This software can be used for chip circuit design, simulation and analysis, and can help engineers design chips that meet various functional requirements.
A short while later, Mike Keller called. The voice on the receiver was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Boss! Is the test data you sent real? Can this software increase circuit simulation efficiency by 30%?"
Chen Yansen picked up the cold brew tea on his right hand, took a sip and said, "It is compatible with the current mainstream chip design framework. Of course, it is also most suitable for the Tiangong series product architecture."
Mike was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then sighed, "Synopsys was negotiating with us yesterday about this year's software fees, saying they were going to increase the software usage fee for the next-generation EDA by 15%. Now it seems we don't have to rely on them anymore."
Chen Yansen chuckled.
He had expected this day to come. Ever since Tiangong Technology emerged in the field of high-end chips, it was only a matter of time before it was "choked" by the upstream industrial chain.
For example, the price increases by Sanxing, Toshiba and SK Hynix may be a test for Tiangong Technology.
But Mr. Chen is the least experienced person.
In his eyes, all deliberate price increases and deliberate targeting are provocations against Senlian Capital.
He doesn't care whether the price is raised or suppressed.
But when Senlian Capital entered these industries, they didn't complain or cry out for justice, they just had to accept it.
Don't lose face!
Huawei, Apple, Samsung and MediaTek are all using the Orange Z1 instruction set, Tianhe-100 and Xuanshu architecture. As a new EDA supplier in the industry, Chen Yansen naturally had to call and ask if they needed Mass design software?
After all, Mass V1.0 has higher adaptability and can convert register transfer level code written in hardware description language into gate-level netlist, while taking into account multi-dimensional optimization goals such as timing, area, and power consumption, and supports complex SoC and large-scale digital circuit design, and has higher sales.
The first call Chen Yansen made was to He Boting of HiSilicon. "Tiangong has released a new EDA design software. Its underlying architecture is compatible with the Orange Z1 instruction set and the Xuanshu architecture. When you use it to design chips using the Tianhe-100 architecture, you can improve netlist conversion efficiency by 30%, and timing optimization can also save an additional 15% in power consumption."
"Mr. Chen, you are not kidding, right?" He Boting asked in surprise after hearing this.
"Do you think I have time to joke with you?" Chen Yansen asked back.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this news is really shocking." He Boting apologized quickly.
You should know that in the field of EDA design software, although there are well-known companies such as HuaDa JiuTian and EasyEDA in China, the private chip design industry is still extremely cautious and mostly only purchases products from Synopsys, Cadence and Siemens.
Chen Yansen did not discuss the price, and He Boting did not ask about the price.
HiSilicon will have to confirm whether Mass V1.0's circuit simulation, support for advanced processes, and online collaboration mode can reach the level of Design Compiler or Vivado Design Suite.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yansen threw the phone aside.
With Huawei acting as a mouthpiece, I believe it won’t be long before the China Science and Technology Association, Apple, Samsung and MediaTek will come to us on their own initiative.
It’s not that they have much confidence in Tiangong Technology’s R&D capabilities, but that multiple software service providers can also enhance their bargaining power.
In recent years, Synopsys and Cadence have frequently raised prices in the name of version upgrades, which has long made chip design companies angry.
Take Shanxing for example. Last year, the company spent 3 million US dollars more on purchasing EDA software than the year before. Although it is a small amount of money, it is not a pleasant feeling to be controlled by others.
The same is true for Huawei, which cannot do without the technical support of European and American EDA software service providers, and ultimately can only pay the money.
at the same time.
Ali's headquarters in Hangzhou, Peach Blossom Island.
Ma Liyun supported his chin with his right hand, his eyes fixed on the business data on the screen.
The year-on-year growth rate in the first three weeks of April was only 24.7%, which was half of that in March.
The group's business growth rate is slowing down!
"Pinbei's Prime membership has such a huge impact on Yaomao?"
Ma Liyun raised his eyelids, looked at Zhang Yong and asked.
"Mr. Ma, this is only one reason. The second reason is that Kuaipao's flash sales added over 2,000 SKUs, diverting user traffic. The third core reason is that Douyin and Kuaishou introduced e-commerce businesses after their food delivery and group buying businesses."
Zhang Yong frowned slightly and spoke seriously.
Ever since Ali and Senlian Capital had a falling out, Chen Yansen has been suppressing Ali one after another. Now, he has teamed up with Yidong to curb the growth rate of Ali's business.
The second and third brothers held down the eldest brother?
Although it is a bit outrageous, Chen Yansen did it.
Moreover, according to a survey report from a third-party data agency, Pinbei’s daily sales have exceeded 3 billion, leaving only a 1 billion gap between it and Ali.
“Let Dianping also do flash sales.”
Ma Liyun made the decision immediately.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any creativity. Can’t you learn from others?
"The investment in the central warehouse, intelligent sorting warehouse, and forward warehouse is huge. Chen Yansen invested over 30 billion yuan over three years to achieve the current results. In addition, sufficient transportation resources are also a key factor."
Zhang Yong said after thinking for a moment.
Ma Liyun's eyes were stern and half-closed as he said, "We can't just sit there and watch our market share being eaten away by Senlian Capital. Dianping has a user base and an advantage in the flash sales business. We need to launch related projects as soon as possible and we must recapture the lost market."
Zhang Yong nodded and said, "Mr. Ma, Chen Yansen has been very active. If we start the flash sale business, he will definitely react. We need to be prepared."
Ma Liyun leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, and then replied lightly, "It's nothing more than expanding the e-commerce competition to offline. Since Kuaipao's flash sales are doing well, then we can just run across the river with our knives."
"Okay, Mr. Ma." Zhang Yong agreed readily.
As for whether someone will accuse Alibaba of plagiarism, does it matter?
Whoever wins is the original one!
Just like QQ Speed, it obviously borrowed the core gameplay of KartRider; but when KartRider gradually declined, some people said that KartRider plagiarized QQ Speed.
Of course, KartRider Rush+ isn't original either; it copied Mario Kart.
Whoever loses is a plagiarist!
The other side.
When China was completely shrouded in darkness, Liu Qiangdong, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, dressed in a suit and tie, pressed the bell button for the listing with great energy.
The issue price was 20 US dollars, the opening price was 21.75 US dollars, the closing price was 22.4 US dollars, and the market value was 33.6 billion US dollars!
Although it cannot be compared with Pinbei, for Liangzaidong, this result is already very satisfactory.
Some netizens stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of Dongfang's listing.
"Brother Dong has the largest voting rights, but his shareholding ratio is not as high as Brother Sen's. The biggest winner is still Senlian Capital."
"Brother Sen's net worth has increased by 6.7 billion US dollars!"
