It has been a while since the family had a quiet meal together.
She usually has a nanny to take care of her, so why does he need to cook for her himself?
The taste is definitely not as good as the ones made by the two top chefs at home, but the big-butt kid Chen Anan eats it with great relish.
The dumplings are so delicious when you bite them, and paired with a big chicken leg, you have to have two bowls of egg fried rice.
"Dad, a lot of people online are asking if you'll be holding another free concert this year?"
Chen Pingsheng said, "Let's do it, but this year it might be a little bigger. I'll talk to Bai Xin later and ask her to arrange a New Year's Eve Tencent Film Festival concert in each of the four super first-tier cities."
"Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"
"It's not bad. This year, we don't have to spend much to invite celebrities from the entertainment industry. It's just some venue fees and facility fees."
Chen Pingsheng always patiently explained these things to Big Piwa, "Last year, your father caused some dissatisfaction among some people. This grand concert must be as big as possible. After all, many people still like this kind of formalism. The news reports will also portray a prosperous and peaceful country. Isn't that great!"
Chen Anan is only nine years old after all, and doesn't quite understand these things.
When it is time for domestic businesses to forge ahead, they must charge forward with all their might.
When it is time to please others, you have to do everything you can to satisfy some people.
In short, there must be a basis for advance and retreat.
"Honey, how much do you want to spend?"
"Put out 200 million and hold it for three consecutive days in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
Chen Pingsheng easily decided on a super entertainment concert that was of great significance to ordinary people.
In the past, they had to negotiate various conditions to invite the Four Heavenly Kings. Now, if the Four Heavenly Kings don’t have time, they have to make time for them.
Who says he is already the undisputed number one capitalist in the entertainment industry?
The Xiang family, Hong Kong's veteran entertainment tycoon, is just a younger brother in front of him.
This is the benefit of having more influence. All the stars will deliberately act like good people in front of him.
Song Yanxi secretly transferred another 200 million yuan from the family's money.
By the time she put down her chopsticks, Chen Pingsheng had almost finished eating.
In addition to the Huayi issue, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with.
That means Snack Run is planning to go public, and he still owns 42% of Snack Run's shares.
Opening 10,000 snack specialty stores from zero in just one year fully demonstrates their absolute influence in the traditional business field.
Especially for this kind of retail franchise stores, as long as the business model is correct, they can run very fast.
It turns out that snack stores are still a very good business.
The profit or market space is much larger than that of Bobo Milk Tea.
By the time others realized what was happening and were ready to copy and imitate, they had already applied to go public.
The only question is whether to list on the Hong Kong stock market or apply in the mainland.
He still had to discuss it with Tong Zelan and the others first, and in the afternoon Tong Zelan came to him.
Direct operation includes franchising and 10,000 snack specialty stores.
This valuation must be at least tens of billions, and Tong Zelan's suggestion is to invest in Hong Kong stocks.
The main reason is that they have absolute securities resources there, and many people are willing to underwrite their shares.
IPO financing will naturally be easier.
When the IPO comes, it will also mean that many people will be able to achieve financial freedom.
For Chen Pingsheng himself, he can also earn a very high income.
The specific number depends on the random amplification multiple.
Snack Fast Run's current model is not just retail stores. It has also invested 1.5 billion yuan in traditional snack factories, as well as mineral water, ice cream, and other major snack sectors.
The number of snack food factories in which the company has invested is as high as over fifty.
Once Snack Run is further launched on the market, the influence of offline channels will be further expanded.
With such a huge offline channel, a large number of traditional snack factories will inevitably rise.
There will definitely be a few listed companies emerging from here.
Under the impact of the Internet in recent years, the traditional retail industry has been getting worse day by day.
Chen Pingsheng believes that as long as he can provide customers with a good shopping experience and transparent prices.
Traditional retail is not necessarily inferior to the Internet.
Snack Run is the first internal super entrepreneurial project incubated by him.
There will definitely be more in the future, just wait and see.
Tong Zelan was in charge of the IPO, while Chen Pingsheng stayed at home thinking about the future direction of the company.
For now, their family's position in the entertainment industry is still stable.
The traditional business sector has also been growing bigger and bigger.
Live streaming sales, internet celebrity economy, short drama shooting, training, investment in talent development, etc. have formed a complete industrial chain.
He should also focus his next investment on the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing.
Since 2016, he has personally invested more than 50 billion yuan in new energy.
These include a super factory built with a 12 billion yuan investment and the Tengfei New Energy Ecological Industrial Park with a 5 billion yuan investment.
There is also the Tengde Times lithium iron phosphate battery factory, which was acquired for more than 5 billion yuan.
Later, another 8 billion yuan was invested in the battery factory, mainly to increase research on core battery technologies and make further breakthroughs in the core battery life issues as soon as possible.
In addition to these, he also invested nearly 10 billion yuan in AI intelligent driving, and jointly established eight research institutes in the motor and electronic control sectors.
At present, Tengfei New Energy has a core R&D team of over 10,000 people.
Everything is still progressing steadily.
Seriously speaking, completing pure electrification in the new energy vehicle manufacturing field is only the first half, and the second half is likely to be a competition in cost and intelligent driving.
Chen Pingsheng visited each of his new energy vehicles one by one.
The super factory will be completed in six to eight months, and by then it will be the largest and most comprehensive integrated new energy production workshop in China.
All construction standards are based on the production workshops of Tesla, a foreign new energy giant.
It’s just that the investment scale is larger and the production capacity is higher.
Once this is completed, they can actually start producing new energy vehicles.
In addition to the super factory, the AI intelligent driving team has spent more than 4 billion yuan to acquire three AI technology research and development teams at home and abroad, as well as a series of basic patented technologies in the AI field.
In the field of technology, because of the high cost and money spent, progress is naturally rapid.
There is no doubt that it costs a lot of money.
The core of future new energy competition will be in the intelligent driving and battery sectors.
Chen Pingsheng allocated another 5 billion yuan in research and development funds to the AI team.
As for the research and development of motors and electronic controls, the main focus is to increase the rotation speed so that the car can accelerate faster and smoother.
This is the same function as the gearbox of a traditional fuel vehicle.
He has also allocated more than 5 billion yuan to this team, most of which has been used to acquire some basic patented technologies from abroad.
Only by building on these basic technologies can we complete upgrades and improvements more quickly.
It takes too long to build something from scratch, so they directly adopt the acquisition method in the basic patent sector.
We still have some funds for motor and electronic control, so it won't be a problem if we use it for another three months.
As for the battery factory, it is different. The predecessor of Tengde Times is the largest lithium iron phosphate battery factory in China.
After a series of transformations, all unnecessary departments were removed.
We have also made breakthroughs in key technologies in the research and development of core battery life.
What we can do now is to run 500 kilometers on a full charge. Excluding some losses, we can run about 400 kilometers on a full charge.
Zhang Zhiyao, the current president of Tengde Times, is not very good at operations, but he is a real expert in technology.
After Chen Pingsheng listened to his report for an hour, Zhang Zhiyao actually proposed to develop solid-state batteries.
The so-called solid-state batteries are currently mainly used in mobile phones.
How many benefits does it have?
First of all, in the field of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles, solid-state batteries can withstand temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius without catching fire.
This is very different from the current liquid batteries themselves.
In addition, solid-state batteries can achieve zero loss at temperatures as low as zero degrees.
In terms of battery life, breaking through 2,000 kilometers in one step is no problem.
In terms of charging, it can achieve super fast charging, and the battery can be fully charged to 80% in the time it takes to eat a meal.
That’s all there is to revolutionary technology.
The only drawback is that the cost is too high and it cannot be used commercially.
For example, if an electric car wants to be equipped with solid-state batteries, the cost of these batteries alone will be as high as four million.
Who can afford this?
Zhang Zhiyao proposed the idea of developing solid-state batteries, which mainly refers to the future.
It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can first develop solid-state batteries in China will completely reduce its cost.
Whoever wins will become the undisputed leader in this industry.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
The development of solid-state batteries is to new energy vehicles what the birth of iPhone 4 is to them.
It will directly change the entire industry, and the impact is so great.
Chen Pingsheng was very moved when he heard this, but after being moved, he became calm.
Any revolutionary technological breakthrough is accompanied by huge R&D funds and at least five to ten years of R&D time.
The research and development direction proposed by Zhang Zhiyao is naturally simple, but he wants to make it happen.
It is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven.
According to conservative estimates, R&D costs range from 8 to 10 billion every year.
Developing solid-state batteries is one thing, but we cannot give up on lithium iron phosphate either.
Adding both sides together, it is conservatively estimated that he has to invest 15 billion in R&D funds for battery projects every year.
Lithium iron phosphate is okay, you can see results quickly after investing in it.
Solid-state batteries will have to work hard for at least five years.
This means that the initial investment will be 40 billion yuan.
Not to mention that he was hesitant for a moment, anyone would be the same.
Because no one can guarantee success.
There's no guarantee of even one-tenth of the chance, so we're gambling over 40 billion on this tiny chance.
This is not a suitable business investment in any way.
After much deliberation, Chen Pingsheng decided to do so.
If he hadn't invested this money, it would have been no problem for him to become one of the top three new energy companies in China.
After all, his current investment is already the highest in the country.
Once everything is built, it will be difficult for those who build cars on the Internet to compete with him.
Investing this money is a gamble on a world-class opportunity.
If it doesn’t even have a revolutionary technology, how can Tengfei Auto gain a foothold in the world?
It is not enough to just dominate the country.
It doesn't mean much to him anyway. After all, he is already so rich, it's just a matter of becoming richer.
It is simply impossible to achieve the global influence he wants.
This puts a lot of financial pressure on him because of all the projects he has invested in.
There are already too many. Both Tengnong Breeding and New Energy are big money-makers.
The hard work in the early stage will bring rewards in the later stage.
Even if he has to hold on for three years, he will continue to make Tengfei New Energy Vehicle a success.
You should know that automobiles have been the world's largest industry since ancient times.
In China, the automobile industry accounts for 40% of the country's total industrial output value.
In Germany, the automotive industry accounts for 50%.
It can be said that both places have identified automobiles as the largest economic pillar industry.
This proportion also fully demonstrates the importance of the automobile industry to these two countries.
Fuel vehicles are already in their era, while new energy vehicles are just starting out.
If he can gain a firm foothold in the future new energy vehicle market, his global influence will be beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy families.
What does it matter if I work hard in the early stages to achieve this goal?
After this trip, Chen Pingsheng allocated another 10 billion to Tengde Times. When Zhang Zhiyao saw him off, he sighed repeatedly, "We really found the best boss for the battery factory!"
Silent support is the best result for technological research and development.
Although he himself is not good at technology, he can hire a large number of highly skilled technical talents to serve him.
Just have enough money.
The new investment of 10 billion yuan means that Tengde Times will establish a larger-scale solid-state battery research institute based on lithium iron phosphate batteries.
In this research institute, a new R&D team of at least 3,000 people will be recruited.
Starting from the basics, we will gradually overcome the difficulties in commercializing solid-state batteries for automobiles.
This is bound to be an epic challenge, which means it will take at least three to five years.
No one can tell exactly how long it will take, and in any case, they will not release any technical news to the public until the results come out.
Because that would be meaningless.
After inspecting Tengfei New Energy, he actually invested 15 billion yuan into it.
So far, he has invested 65 billion yuan in new energy vehicle manufacturing.
China's capital investment in the new energy industry is far ahead of others.
This is also the most core strategic project of Tencent Film Group in the future.
After much difficulty, he made nearly 20 billion yuan through 20% of Tencent Entertainment's scattered shares, and spent most of it on the car manufacturing sector.
There is no one else like him.
When he returned to Shanghai, it was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
Employees at the group headquarters have also returned to work one after another.
The great city of Shanghai has also begun to regain its former popularity, and everywhere is bustling with activity after the New Year.
Those who need to shop can shop, and those who need to cruise on the Huangpu River can cruise on the Huangpu River.
Every year, many tourists from other places come here. While admiring the prosperity of the Magic City, they also sigh countless times that they can own a house in such a city.
How wonderful that would be.
Unfortunately, the starting price of housing in the center of Shanghai is over 120,000 yuan per square meter.
You can afford to live in a house that you don’t have to buy.
And what you are not born with cannot be acquired through hard work.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, until the moment your hair turns white.
I can only stand outside the city and feel sad.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Tencent Film Entertainment released its own news on its official website.
The 2017 Tencent Film Concert will be held simultaneously in the four super first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
The duration is three days and the fee is free.
The registration conditions are very simple, either go to Lujiao Coffee and buy a cup of New Year's milk coffee.
Or you can go to Bobo Milk Tea to have your first cup of milk tea in spring.
Tencent Film Entertainment will naturally not miss such a good advertising opportunity when launching such a grand performance.
Especially Lujiao Coffee, which became the most popular guy in the whole place.
Who told Chen Pingsheng that he hasn’t cashed out his shares yet?
Taking advantage of the influence of this concert, he was preparing to go abroad to cash out a large amount of Lujiao Coffee.
