Chapter 809 A Miracle Drug for Alzheimer's? Senlian's First 100 Billion Yuan Mainland Stock!
"1.29 billion?"
As the inventor of Mengjie Sponge, Mengjie also holds the title of factory technical consultant and has the right to access product sales data at any time.
When he saw the revenue figures displayed in the backend, he was stunned and stood there.
To be honest, he was completely bewildered from the time the product went on sale yesterday afternoon until this morning.
He knew that Mengjie Sponge had applications in various industries, and where there is demand, there is value. But he never expected that in less than a day, it would sell more than a billion yuan worth of goods.
Despite the seemingly magical functions of Mengjie Sponge, its raw materials and production process are actually not complicated.
The core lies in the formulation of metal-ceramic composites and lead zirconate titanate nanoparticles, as well as the unique physical structure design.
In fact, the production cost of a palm-sized Mengjie sponge is less than 100 yuan, and the remaining 900 yuan is almost entirely profit.
To put it bluntly, even Mexican flour millers are far less efficient at making money than Meng Jie Sponge.
"1% of the profit-sharing rights?"
Only then did Meng Jie belatedly realize the immense wealth Chen Yansen had bestowed upon him.
Even if the final net profit is only 50%, he can still get 7 million on the first day of the sale.
He had already researched the global market size for civilian soundproofing materials, which was estimated at around 10 billion US dollars.
In other words, he can reliably receive $50 million in dividends every year.
Moreover, Mengjie sponges can also play a significant role in fields such as aerospace, military, automobiles, ships, and medical equipment.
Once market dominance is established, annual dividends will never be less than $100 million.
Unless a superior noise reduction and sound insulation material emerges in the future, forcing Mengjie Sponge out of the market, this dividend right will not end.
In fact, the potential consumer demand has not yet been fully released.
After all, people can only learn about the actual effects of Mengjie Sponge through product promotional videos, so it's inevitable that they have concerns: what if the effect isn't that good?
Keep in mind that a building vibration device only costs four or five hundred yuan, while a standard Mengjie sponge costs 999 yuan.
The former is an offensive solution, while the latter is a defensive response!
Most people are still more inclined to take the initiative.
Therefore, before bloggers in the digital and technology circles released their test videos, even though Mengjie Sponge's sales were quite strong, they were far from reaching their peak.
At 6 p.m. that day, Douyin digital blogger "Genius Panda" released a test video.
"I'm suffering from a nervous breakdown because of the noise from the upstairs renovations. I bought a Mengjie sponge for 999 yuan. Can it really change my fate?"
At the beginning of the video, the genius panda sports a heavy dark circle makeup look, with the harsh sound of an electric drill coming from the background, and a Mengjie sponge prominently displayed in front of him.
The screen was instantly flooded with comments:
"This noise is giving me the creeps!"
"A 999 yuan 'IQ tax'? If you don't like it, then go for technology! Take life and death lightly, and if you're not happy, then fight!"
"Is Brother Sen going to have a mishap?"
The scene shifts to him picking up Mengjie Sponge and walking into the bedroom, where he sticks it to the corner where the baseboard meets the wall.
A miraculous thing happened!
The originally penetrating sound of the electric drill seemed to have been muted, leaving only a faint "shush" sound.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear it at all!
The reading on the mobile phone decibel meter plummeted from 87 decibels to 5 decibels.
"I didn't use any special effects! I didn't edit the audio!"
The genius panda leaned close to the camera to emphasize this, and then conducted several sets of comparative experiments.
If you place a Mengjie sponge in your office and play heavy metal music in the next room, you won't hear a single sound in your study.
By inserting Mengjie Sponge into the car's storage compartment, wind and tire noise during high-speed driving can be reduced by 90%.
The only downside is that phone navigation and external speaker sounds become very faint.
The most impressive part was the outdoor testing!
He took Meng Jie Sponge to the construction site and secured it inside a makeshift tent. Outside, there was the roar of the mixer and the loud clatter of steel bars colliding, but inside the tent, he could make normal phone calls and even hear the soft music playing on his phone.
Once external noise gets close, it will be instantly "captured and absorbed" by Mengjie Sponge.
"Holy crap! This is practically a mobile soundproof cabin!"
Less than half an hour after the video was released, the search term "Meng Jie's Sponge Test is a God" immediately soared to the top of the trending search list across the entire network.
Those who were initially hesitant completely dispelled their concerns and placed orders one after another.
However, the order schedule had been extended from June 8th to June 24th.
The reason is simple: the factory had only recently started production, preparations were rushed, and the number of workers and production lines was very limited.
Monthly production capacity can only support 4 billion yuan worth of goods, and users who are slow to act will have to wait until the end of June to receive their goods.
Before long, tech bloggers on platforms such as Weibo, Kuaishou, and Mimo also received invitations and released their own test videos.
Actual tests show that a single Mengjie sponge can run continuously for 72 to 80 hours after being turned on, and it only takes 30 minutes to charge.
Although it covers only ten cubic meters of effective space and has a diameter of about 2.68 meters, just enough to cover a bed, this is not a problem at all for the wealthy.
By buying multiple units and stacking them in space, you can create a larger area of low-noise.
There will never be a shortage of people in this world who are sensitive to sound. As long as noise exists, Mengjie Sponges will never have to worry about sales.
In the last two days of May, Meng Jie Sponge undoubtedly became a true top influencer attracting global attention.
After witnessing its magical properties, even entertainment companies in Europe and America plan to come to China specifically to discuss customized cooperation with Mengjie Sponge Technology for the construction of new recording studios.
Major research institutes and military regions across the country have also sent product requests to the factory.
Following the Deep Blue Battery, Senlian Group has another phenomenal blockbuster product.
Mengjie Sponge is just one of the basic sound insulation materials used in the Yunkun Aerospace project.
...
...
Two days later, the first workday of June arrived.
At 9:00 AM, Orange Auto announced the debut information for the Yaoguang E1 pure electric coupe: June 8th, Luzhou International Conference Center.
After a year and a half, Orange Auto has finally reached the day when it will officially go on sale.
Based on netizens' understanding of Senlian Group, the products will most likely go on sale immediately after the press conference.
Many people flocked to Chen Yansen's social media account comment section to ask: "Brother Sen, what's the price? If it sells for 199,000, I'll definitely support it!"
"What do you mean? The Tesla Model S LR sells for 1.099 million yuan, the XPeng G1 sells for 698,000 yuan, so why is Orange Auto selling it for 199,000 yuan?"
"To be honest, there are still too few charging stations. I don't lack money, but I'm worried about what to do if my car runs out of power halfway through the journey?"
"Didn't you see the 'Guiding Opinions on Charging Piles for New Energy Vehicles' jointly issued by the Transportation Association and the Electricity Association? For just 5,000 yuan, you can apply to have a dedicated line installed in your community and have a charging pile all to yourself."
"When did this happen? Bro, send me the link?"
“I think it’s acceptable for under 1 million. In terms of appearance, the Yaoguang E1 is much better than the Tesla Model S LR; in terms of technological accumulation and industrial foundation, Orange Auto is not bad either. I heard that the engineers were poached from the world’s top-tier car factories.”
"If only a car cost tens of thousands of yuan, I would like to drive to the surrounding cities to see the scenery."
"Tens of thousands of yuan? Dream on! It's not even enough to cover the cost of the batteries!"
As soon as the news broke, netizens across the internet began discussing the initial price of the Yaoguang E1.
Judging from the standard version's 800-kilometer range alone, if the powertrain efficiency and energy recovery system are on par with Tesla, the cost of the Deep Blue 4890 battery pack alone would be as high as 300,000 yuan.
In other words, if the price is below 600,000 yuan, Orange Auto is basically doing charity.
However, if the price is lower than 600,000, DeepBlue Technology will need to offer a lower battery supply price, which could easily cause dissatisfaction among other buyers.
You can't be both a player and a referee, trying to have the benefits of both.
On his way to Senlian Science and Technology Park, Chen Yansen saw comments from netizens but did not reply.
If everything has been announced in advance, what suspense will there be when Wang Guan hosts the new product launch?
These kinds of trivial matters can be handled by subordinates.
A short while later, the car entered the science park.
Chen Yansen had just gotten out of the car when he received a call from Li Qingsong.
"Come to Yanjing on September 3rd. I'll send you the invitation later."
"Your Senlian Group is truly full of talent! An unknown R&D engineer, who only stayed at Yunkun Aerospace for half a year, was nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work on the quantum acoustic trap principle."
Li Qingsong's tone was tinged with emotion.
He really couldn't understand why Meng Jie, who was as ordinary as a transparent person when he was in the original research institution, was able to make such important scientific research results so quickly after he went to Yunkun Aerospace.
As of June 1, less than three days after its launch, Mengjie Sponge had sold over 2.7 million units and generated over 3 billion yuan in revenue, an astonishing figure.
In the future, when various industries around the world purchase sound insulation materials, they will all think of Mengjie Sponge.
“Mr. Li, the answer you have in mind is actually the same as what I want to say.”
As Chen Yansen walked and talked, he made a gesture to the receptionist after entering the building lobby. The receptionist immediately understood and went to make him coffee.
He then went to the rest area and sat down to continue his call with Li Qingsong.
"You mean, without competition, there is no vitality?"
Li Qingsong countered with a question.
"That's human nature," Chen Yansen succinctly summarized.
In an environment where "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the less mistakes you make; and the more you do, the more you get scolded," anyone with a sound mind would either pack up and run away or slack off and drift through life.
Take Cao Dahua as an example. With his entrepreneurial experience, how could he not be competent to be a mentor for college students' entrepreneurship?
Before Chen Yansen entered the Virtual Academy, the entrepreneurial projects of those college students were either milk tea shops, express delivery agencies, printing shops, or selling USB flash drives. Even if Cao Dahua wanted to provide guidance, he would not know where to start.
With a fixed monthly salary of six or seven thousand, what else can I do if I don't slack off?
Are we really going to instruct college students on how to make milk tea?
But after Cao Dahua went to the Orange Mobile phone factory, the situation was completely different.
When the right stage is found, a wonderful chemical reaction can occur.
Today, Cao Dahua manages seven production bases in Shenzhen and Luzhou, with more than 200,000 employees. He manages all affairs in an orderly manner. Every year, he not only has the resources to give bonuses to employees and hold annual meetings, but also to purchase land, build new factories, add production lines, and conduct technical training for employees.
Meng Jie's situation is roughly the same.
After hearing this, Li Qingsong remained silent for more than ten seconds.
He came to ask the question with the answer in mind, and now that Chen Yansen had pointed it out, he couldn't help but sigh slightly: It seems that some mechanisms need to be changed.
It's a terrible thing for researchers to lack ambition; if they fall behind even a little bit today, they'll fall far behind after a year.
If this continues, China's scientific research capabilities are bound to decline.
If anyone else had said these words, he probably wouldn't have paid any attention. But the scientific research achievements of the Senlian Group are simply too dazzling. Deep Blue Technology, Super Rice 2000, Ora Gold 940, Mengjie Sponge, etc., each of them is an innovative technology that can leverage tens of billions or even trillions of US dollars in economic value.
His impressive record left him no choice but to believe it.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Li Qingsong hung up the phone and sat alone in his office to organize his thoughts, intending to write a proposal to submit to Han Jinheng.
On the other side.
After taking a short rest in his office, Chen Yansen began the weekly meeting.
In fact, short meetings of half an hour to an hour for each project could be held or not, but he still insisted on holding them as usual, asking each subsidiary and department head about their daily management affairs.
Through these conversations, he can also gain a direct understanding of each person's current work situation, the difficulties they encounter, and their true thoughts.
With his mental strength and observational skills, he could easily tell whether the other party was trying to fool him.
If it's face-to-face communication, the accuracy rate can be increased to over 99%.
Divine consciousness is an invisible, penetrating force that can perceive a person's breathing, heartbeat, blood flow, and even the faint biological signals of the cerebral cortex.
As his mental strength advances further, he will even be able to combine this information to predict the other party's next move and what they will say.
Of course, this is not about predicting the future, but rather about making precise calculations on complex data.
Perhaps one day, artificial intelligence will also reach this standard, but that will certainly require very powerful computing power.
Just as Chen Yansen was holding a meeting, Orange Supermarket announced its acquisition of Yonghui Supermarket, and stated that Yonghui Supermarket would not be delisted.
In other words, Orange Supermarket embarked on the path of backdoor listing just over a year after its launch.
Normally, previous shareholders of Yonghui Supermarket would either take their money and leave or choose to convert their shares into new ones.
But after learning that the new buyer was Orange Supermarket, even the most foolish person wouldn't sell their shares; they held onto them tightly.
The restructured Orange Supermarket has 530 supermarkets and 490 convenience stores, with a total share capital of 10 billion shares. The issue price of the shares issued in the restructuring was 10 yuan per share.
As for the secondary market trading price after the resumption of trading, it will be determined by market dynamics.
Frankly speaking, the terms offered for the merger and reorganization were not particularly generous, but almost everyone believed that the issue price of 10 yuan per share could definitely be sustained.
This is the first mainland stock under the Senlian Group, and it instantly became a hot topic across the internet.
Investors who previously had no opportunity to invest in Hong Kong or US stocks are now eager to pour all their enthusiasm into Orange Supermarket.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is also making every effort to get Orange Supermarket back into trading as soon as possible.
After finishing the meeting, Chen Yansen walked out of the main building and went straight into the Orange Biotechnology R&D Center.
He placed 1 kilogram of T1 generation Super Rice 2000 next to a precision balance.
Qi Chuanjun, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward and handed over the extraction plan he had prepared in advance: "Boss, as per your previous requirements, we have completed the preliminary experiment. The rice husk peeling rate can reach 99.2%, and the purity of the rice bran meets the pharmaceutical grade standard."
"Let's begin." Chen Yansen nodded.
Qi Chuanjun responded and fed the rice into the low-temperature physical hulling machine.
The machine operates at a low speed of 300 revolutions per minute to avoid damaging the active ingredients with high temperatures.
With a soft rustling sound, the golden rice husks were successfully separated, and the yellow grains were then processed in the next step.
Next, the rice grains are fed into a multi-stage grinder and undergo three progressive grinding processes to finally form a fine powder with a mesh size of 80. The pericarp, seed coat, outer endosperm, and aleurone layer are what constitute rice bran.
Qi Chuanjun put the rice bran into centrifuge tubes, placed them in a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, set the parameters to 4 degrees Celsius and 12,000 revolutions per minute, and carried out preliminary separation for 15 minutes.
This step is to remove coarse fiber and starch particles.
Under centrifugal force, the light active ingredients in rice bran will be suspended in the supernatant, while impurities will settle at the bottom of the tube.
Chen Yansen's divine sense penetrated the centrifuge tube and clearly "saw" the pale yellow supernatant and white precipitate gradually separating into layers.
Based on this separation efficiency, 1 kilogram of rice can produce 90 grams of pure rice bran extract precursor.
Subsequently, the pure rice bran was fed into an extraction tank, and 8 times its volume of 75% food-grade ethanol was added.
The extraction vessel is heated to 60 degrees Celsius and kept at a constant temperature for reflux for 2 hours.
Ethanol vapor liquefies and refluxes in the condenser, repeatedly rinsing the rice bran to fully dissolve γ-oryzanol and polyphenolic compounds.
Chen Yansen sensed the molecular movement inside the can and found that the binding rate between ethanol molecules and active ingredients was stable, and there was no degradation of the components caused by local overheating.
He thought for a moment and then instructed Qi Chuanjun: "Raise the temperature to 65 degrees Celsius, then reflux for 30 minutes to increase the extraction rate."
Qi Chuanjun complied and carried out the operation in an orderly manner.
After reflux, the extract is sent to a plate and frame filter to remove residual solid impurities, and then enters a vacuum concentrator to concentrate it under vacuum, finally yielding a dark brown paste-like substance.
This is exactly what Chen Yansen wanted: a mixture of gamma-oryzanol and polyphenolic compounds.
Qi Chuanjun continued working, dissolving the mixture in methanol and injecting it into a silica gel-filled chromatography column, separating the two components through gradient elution.
First, elute with 50% methanol. The more polar polyphenolic compounds are eluted first and collected in a brown reagent bottle.
Next, elution was performed using 80% methanol, and γ-oryzanol flowed out as a pale yellow oily liquid.
Finally, after drying and shaping, a small amount of yellow powder is obtained.
One kilogram of super rice 2000 yielded only 9.3 grams of finished product.
However, compared with ordinary rice, the content of γ-oryzanol and polyphenolic compounds in Super Rice 2000 has increased by dozens of times after genetic programming.
This ingredient can inhibit inflammation in the hippocampus of the brain and promote neurogenesis, thereby improving and alleviating Alzheimer's disease.
This is also the core reason why Chen Yansen skipped soybeans and chose rice as the first crop to tackle!
