Chapter 78 Project
Around the New Year, Jiang Shan's schedule was very tight.
After having lunch with Shen Man and the other three at the Lujiazui villa, Jiang Shan went to the OCT villa in the afternoon and spent half a day with Fang Sijin, Stella and Fan Shengmei.
Then make arrangements.
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, there was a year-end cocktail reception for Giant Capital shareholders; from the 24th to the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, I dealt with several promising project investments and met with the project people; on the evening of the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, I went to Cui Wei's home for a dinner; from the 27th to the second day of the new year, I rested.
From the second to the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, I went to Sanya with Stella, Fan Shengmei and Fang Sijin; from the seventh to the fourteenth day, I went to the island city for vacation with Shen Man, Si Qing, Xing Lu, Ming Zhen and Man Qing.
Fifteenth chapter of the Demon City.
Dai Xi and Shen Mo were on vacation throughout the whole process - they and Jiang Shan were only working people at this stage.
On the 23rd, at noon, at the Hilton Hotel, Giant Capital shareholders’ year-end reception.
There weren’t many people, only about twenty or so; in addition to institutional representatives and individual shareholders, there were also their cocktail party companions.
It's quite quiet.
The reception didn't last long, just two hours. We just chatted and bonded, nothing else was discussed.
So far, Jiang Shan has never failed in the financial stock market, and his title of Yum! Brands stock god has been firmly established.
In the past few months, even though the operation was delayed due to the incident on Koros Island, once the signal base station was built and the operation was resumed, the total account amount of the second phase of Giant No. 1 has reached nearly 100 billion yuan based on the 20 billion yuan principal! The 3 billion principal of Giant No. 2 has also become nearly 10 billion.
Because there is no worry, there is no need to talk about it.
Talk about some of the things they have seen and heard, some interesting things. They are not ignorant people, everyone has interesting things and secrets, and it is quite interesting to talk about them.
After the cocktail party, President Li was the last one to leave.
He said to Jiang Shan: "You have been away from the country for a while, but you have done a lot of things."
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "What can I do?"
President Li said: "Don't say that Xianyou Network is not your work."
Jiang Shan laughed and said, "They provoked me first."
He said, "It's been so long since the bounty was offered, President Li, you must have known about it, right? Before I even arrived in the Philippines, a $5 million bounty was already posted on the black market in the Philippines. Don't say it has nothing to do with them."
After hearing this, President Li hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, there are some suspicions."
Then he sighed: "Poor Xianyou Network shareholders, they were innocently implicated."
Jiang Shan shook his head: "You can't blame me for this. It's all because there are too many scandals about Xianyou. If they had followed the rules from the beginning and not messed around, and had no scandals, I wouldn't have known where to start even if I wanted to deal with them."
He added: "These people are unscrupulous and it is difficult for you to control them. I will try their knives."
President Li smiled helplessly: "Something happened."
Then he said, "You've done them a pretty bad job this time. Xianyou is almost closed down. They spent several years making the game based on the core, and they don't know when it will be online after rectification. The games involved in the previous scandals have been removed from the shelves due to plagiarism and infringement. The stock price has been falling again and again, and the market value has fallen below 10 billion."
"Plus various lawsuits and various compensations."
In a word, Xianyou is almost doomed.
At its peak, the market value was several hundred billion, but now it is less than ten billion, and it is still falling. With all kinds of scandals and lawsuits, and peers adding insult to injury, it is difficult for the company to get back on its feet.
Then President Li changed the subject: "After suffering such a big loss, they will not give up. Unless you are willing to play with them next time. So, you have to be careful next time."
Jiang Shan nodded: "Let them come, I'll see what other tricks they have."
"You!" President Li laughed and shook his head: "You are really not a businessman - if it were someone else, they would have been given a sweet reward after a slap in the face. The fantasy department is not easy to touch."
Jiang Shan said with a smile: "Even if they are made of copper or iron, I will still touch them. I am like this, I will never let go of any grudges. I will not be able to swallow my anger unless I overturn their car."
"It's not easy for them to have a significant influence in many industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood."
From the 24th to the 26th, in three days, Jiang Shan met with more than ten project people one by one.
These projects were carefully selected by Cui Wei and are worth investing in. Since the establishment of Giant Capital's investment department, many projects have come to him, either actively or passively.
For those projects involving funds not exceeding 100 million yuan, Cui Wei can make the decision himself; for the more than ten projects that remain, the investment is more than 100 million yuan, and Jiang Shan must make the decision.
Among the dozen or so projects, there are five projects related to artificial intelligence alone; and among these five projects, Jiang Shan is only interested in two.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
They are all projects in the field of artificial intelligence applications.
Both projects originated from new studios founded by young people who have just entered the society. At present, apart from research directions and development plans, there is basically nothing else. After talking with them, Jiang Shan believes that they have a certain level. After all, Jiang Shan himself is an absolute authority in the field of computers and artificial intelligence.
Jiang Shan decided to recruit them.
Establish an Internet technology company, incorporate these two studios, and give each project team 10% of the company's shares.
They were quite hesitant at first. Who wants to work for others when they can be the boss? But as soon as Jiang Shan opened his mouth, he invested 1 billion. In other words, as long as they agreed, each team would immediately have a net worth of 100 million! There was no need to hesitate.
Thus, an Internet technology company called "Shenhua" came into being.
Named after Shenhua, it is obvious that the core of Jiang Shan’s Internet technology company is the Shenhua intelligent program.
It is obviously a waste of talent to regard mythology only as a domestic steward; it has more uses and can open up new horizons in business.
Now that projects in related application fields have come to him, Jiang Shan took advantage of the opportunity and launched the Shenhua intelligent program.
This aspect had actually been taken into consideration when he compiled the Nine Cauldrons on Koros Island; the Nine Cauldrons would only be his personal artificial intelligence, while the myths could be used to make money and gain influence.
In addition to these two, Jiang Shan has decided to invest in three more projects.
One was a project investment application from a new material laboratory. They wanted 500 million yuan. Jiang Shan looked at their project plan and progress. After talking with them, he thought their level was acceptable. Thinking of his own research in materials, he decided to build a new material research team of his own in the future, so he invested.
There are two remaining, one is an investment application in satellite rockets; the other is an investment application in medicine.
In recent years, the civilian aerospace industry has developed rapidly, and some private companies have begun to get involved in the manufacture and launch of rockets and satellites. Although the results are relatively mediocre, the market response is still good.
The satellite rocket project that applied for investment from Giant Capital came from a company called Spark; the company was founded less than three years ago and was initially funded by a group of enthusiasts.
