2017, March.
Leaving Wuhan University of Science and Technology on his own private plane.
Ten thousand meters high.
Secretary Zhang Wanyi also gave him a detailed introduction to the results of this public speech at the university.
In the past, they have always been in traditional fields.
Now that I have entered the field of science and technology, I want to make some achievements and gain a firm foothold.
It is necessary to reach some good cooperation intentions with the country's top scientific research universities.
To put it bluntly, the core competitiveness of scientific research products is still people.
That is, top-level R&D and management talents.
Tencent Film Group does not need marketing, judging by the traffic resources it has.
Just produce the best product and don't worry too much about marketing.
This is also the main reason why Tengfei New Energy did not release the news until one year after its establishment.
Chen Pingsheng does not pursue the brilliance of PPT, he only pursues building a truly good car.
In fact, most of the top wealthy people in the country are aware that China is already undergoing a huge economic transformation.
This process will certainly be accompanied by a period of economic pain.
It may be five years, or it may be ten or eight years.
No one can be sure.
In the Internet era that began in 2010, the slogan was "everyone should start their own business and everyone should innovate."
At that time, everyone sitting in a coffee shop in Beijing was talking about how to quickly achieve innovation on the Internet and start their own business.
The country is also vigorously supporting Internet companies.
Teacher Ma’s endless glory and his status as a giant of the times also began from that time.
To put it bluntly, when the country supports you, you are a giant of the times, and people are everywhere on the Internet praising you as the godfather of business.
Once the support of the state is lost, the wind direction can change at any time.
Secretary Zhang Wanyi is also a very beautiful office lady. She always wears an elegant white shirt, a hip skirt and a blue suit.
She pulled out a document sent by the group's information department and said, "Uncle Chen, after you donated 180 million yuan, the number of applications from Wuhan graduates to the group has increased more than fivefold year-on-year. Our next stop is the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Ontario."
University of Science and Technology of China is a university directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
It is a national key university focusing on cutting-edge science and high-tech, and also offering medicine, distinctive management and humanities disciplines.
This time they were going there without stopping.
"USTC is the most important place on our trip."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Didn't the Ministry of Information confirm yesterday that Hengda is also preparing to enter the new energy market?"
"More than just huge."
Zhang Wanyi explained in a clear voice, "Xiaomi, the king of marketing, recently publicly announced for the first time its decision to manufacture cars. And, most crucially, Huawei is also discussing whether to enter the new energy vehicle market at the same time."
"Everyone is here! This industry is really getting more and more lively."
Compared with the general new forces in Internet car manufacturing, these two are leaders who have the potential to truly change the new energy vehicle industry.
Let’s not talk about Xiaomi, as is Lei Jun’s usual style.
The starting point will definitely be a price war and cost-effectiveness.
Few can rival him in marketing.
As for Huawei, it is known as the industry's paraquat.
This is not a low-end evaluation, but the highest recognition from the entire business community.
Wherever it goes, its opponents will tremble in fear.
The so-called industry paraquat means leaving no chance for competitors at all.
Once Huawei phones start to improve their cost-effectiveness, prices will go down.
Then there will basically only be two or three companies left in the entire industry.
No one can withstand its scientific research strength.
It is also the only domestic brand that can compete with Apple in the high-end market.
Chen Pingsheng said: "Xiaomi does not need to worry about it. Huawei is the real industry rival. As for the powerful Xu Bei?
"This is not someone who can produce good scientific research products. You don't need to look at anything else, just look at the exaggerated corporate culture of Hengda University.
"Xu Daibei entered the new energy sector simply because he knew the real estate market was about to reach a turning point. Hengda owed so much money. If he didn't find a new pillar industry to build a strong business case, how could he continue his robbing Peter to pay Paul strategy?
"Just wait and see. Hengda's car manufacturing is destined to be nothing more than a boastful gimmick with much noise but no results."
Three new upcoming opponents.
One is the king of marketing, known as the price butcher in the industry.
One is a national treasure and a well-deserved king in the domestic scientific research field.
There is also a guy named Belt who is in great glory and holding a lot of money in his hands.
Just from the fact that the three of them entered the new energy vehicle manufacturing market at the same time, we know that this industry is destined to usher in unprecedented changes.
It can be said that most of the new energy vehicle manufacturers that entered the market in the first half took advantage of state subsidies and support.
And you will have to join the game in the second half.
All of them are real industry giants who are confident that they have the ability to surpass the hundreds of players ahead of them.
Chen Pingsheng easily understood why Mijia wanted to develop new energy.
The so-called king of marketing must be at the center of traffic.
Smartphones, a hot market, are no longer a hot industry since the entry of Luo Yonghao, the industry's top investor.
In the next ten years, new energy will be the undisputed world-class trend.
It is also the only world-class outlet that has the potential to replace real estate and become a new pillar industry in China.
Just from these data, you can understand why so many people are rushing to get involved in new energy.
Especially for the top players in these industries, it is impossible for them to miss this world-class opportunity.
The more times like this, the more he needs to speed up the market layout of Tengfei New Energy.
At present, the core market layout is still the competition for talent.
Whoever can first grab a large number of scientific research talents in the field of new energy will have the greatest chance.
…
Travel thousands of miles.
Chen Pingsheng went all the way from Huazhong University of Science and Technology to USTC, as well as Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shenzhen University of Science and Technology and other top universities ranked in the top ten in domestic scientific research strength.
There is more and more information about him on the Internet.
First, he donated 180 million yuan to Huazhong University of Science and Technology on March 7.
He then donated 250 million yuan to the higher-ranked University of Science and Technology of China, and each time he went to a school, he would donate between 150 million and 200 million yuan.
This really proves the saying that people fly in the sky and money is scattered on the ground.
In just less than half a month, I participated in six campus recruitments and attended 12 scientific research conferences at various universities.
The total donation amounted to 1.1 billion yuan, none of which was in his personal name.
All of them were donations made in the name of Tengfei New Energy to complete university research projects.
At the headquarters of Tengfei New Energy, the number of job applications received was as thick as snowflakes.
They were all graduates in related fields, so this trip was very rewarding for him.
March 20th.
Shocking news came from the Magic City headquarters.
The Shanghai government actually wants to bring Tesla, the new energy giant, here to build a factory.
The news had not yet been spread, and the local government came to inform him first.
As far as the current new energy market is concerned, there is no domestic company that can compete, and the effect of subsidies over the years cannot be said to be very good.
Introducing Tesla as a "catfish" will be of great benefit to stimulating the entire industry.
After receiving the news, Chen Pingsheng immediately rushed back to Shanghai and had afternoon tea for two days at the invitation of local departments.
Only then did we know the specific progress.
He no longer needs to think about Hengda Xudai and Xiaomi. Tesla is the undisputed leader in this industry.
If Musk really enters the domestic market, the entire new energy market will inevitably be subverted by him.
There are benefits, but there will also be a lot of competition.
The specific details will depend on the introduction regulations of the local departments.
You should know that even a strong company like Toyota has to set up joint ventures when it comes to China, and has clear regulations on how much shares the local government must hold.
If Tesla wants to come in, there will be more or less restrictions.
When Chen Pingsheng returned home, he found that his wife was not there.
He drove to Shuiyunjian headquarters, where the famous female army was located.
They were all young girls, and they were all well dressed.
When I saw him coming, I greeted him with a big boss greeting, "Good afternoon."
Chen Pingsheng also waved to greet them. His wife worked on the top floor.
Only after Song Yanxi knew he was coming did she extend the meeting time.
She will decide whether to open it after she has discussed it with her husband.
"Husband, why did you come to me suddenly?"
"Let me ask how much funds you have left?"
Uh... Song Yanxi was a little surprised, as the money in her card was still clearly visible.
"Adding the 4.8 billion from the previous auction and the dividends from the past few months, that's about 5.5 billion. What's going on? Is there something important?"
"Well, convert all of it into Hong Kong dollars, then convert the Hong Kong dollars into US dollars, and use them to buy Tesla shares on Wall Street."
Tesla is going to enter the domestic market, this is super insider information.
Once confirmed, the stock price is bound to soar, considering that China has the world's largest domestic demand market.
Sometimes stock trading is like this. To make small money, you rely on analysis, but if you want to make big money, you still have to rely on insider information.
He only has 600 million US dollars left that are still useful. He will use 200 million US dollars to acquire shares in Luckin Coffee, and the remaining 400 million US dollars cannot be touched for the time being.
But I can use all the money from my wife to invest in Tesla.
Their family has their own headquarters in Hong Kong and Wall Street, so matters like this can be handled very quickly.
5.5 billion RMB is approximately equal to 750 million US dollars.
On March 24th, New York time, Tesla's total market value was approximately US$36 billion.
The family expects to use the money to buy 2% of Tesla's total shares.
He's not the only one speculating on Tesla.
At the same time, Big Penguin also spent $1.7 billion to buy Tesla shares.
It is expected that 5% of the total shares can be obtained.
He is not the only one who is well-informed. If you don’t buy Tesla at this time, when will you buy it?
According to the current domestic situation, the new energy market still has at least ten years of golden period. He said he would hold on to these shares for three to five years.
So far, he has invested in three large factories.
They are 3% for Pinduoduo, 2% for Meituan, and 2% for Tesla.
These three investments are also what he considers to be the most valuable long-term investments.
Pinxixi and Meituan are still seeking financing everywhere, so he just needs to follow them.
Ensure that shares will not be diluted before cashing out.
Song Yanxi didn't even ask him why he suddenly wanted to use all the family's funds to invest in such a foreign listed company. Her husband always had a reason for doing things.
Just firmly believe and understand.
"Yanxi, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Don't come here unless you have anything to do. If you have a meeting or something, you can tell them to go home."
"It's not as delicate as you think."
Song Yanxi said with her big belly, "I'm just here for a meeting, there's nothing to worry about."
"You still have to be careful anyway."
Chen Pingsheng said: "I have visited all the top universities in China this time. Perhaps the biggest regret in our lives is not being able to go to university during adolescence."
"Who said it wasn't?"
Song Yanxi poured him a cup of tea and said, "Don't think too much. Life is pretty good now. Maybe when you're old you can become a university teacher."
"How can I be a teacher with my education?"
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Our family has a lot of money to spend. When I went there for afternoon tea a few days ago, they asked me intentionally or unintentionally if I wanted to build a Tencent headquarters in Shanghai. It seems they hope I can do it."
"Do you want to?" Song Yanxi asked him with her head tilted.
"I really do." Chen Pingsheng said, "Look, we've been buying headquarters all over the place over the years. They look pretty good, but they're so scattered that we have to give two days' notice for every executive meeting. Even emergency meetings can only be held via video."
"Another crucial issue is that when new college graduates start working, we still have to rent apartments for them, which is a huge expense in itself. I'm really considering building my own headquarters in the Tengying Group Industrial Park."
Song Yanxi asked: "How much investment will this require?"
Chen Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's look at the scale. We now have so many listed companies, and the total number of employees at our national headquarters exceeds 100,000. If we want to build a group industrial park, we will need at least six office buildings, five top-notch residential apartments, plus supporting greening and various infrastructure, and funds to purchase land.
"It probably won't be possible without 15 billion."
Fifteen billion seems like a lot, which is the price of the headquarters building in Hong Kong.
He now really wants to buy a few hundred acres of industrial land to build his own group industrial park.
Everything inside can be designed by him.
The price of industrial land is not too high. The industrial land with the highest transaction price in Shanghai this year is still in Minhang.
The transaction price was 1.02 million per mu.
What is really expensive is residential land. If you want to build a top-level apartment, you can only buy residential land.
It would probably cost more than ten billion to buy the land, and there is no way to save this money.
Chen Pingsheng is now discussing with Song Yanxi, because their family cannot come up with 15 billion now.
It's easy to get it by taking out a loan, but there's no need for that.
This month he will have to spend another 200 million US dollars to go to Wall Street to acquire 10% of Angler Coffee's shares, leaving him with only 400 million US dollars.
It's simply not enough to spend.
It seems that we still need to push Snacks Kuaipao’s IPO and Xinteng Live’s listing as soon as possible.
Otherwise he wouldn't be able to turn around.
When Tengying Group develops to this scale, it must have its own group industrial park.
This is not for the sake of face, but mainly to make the operation of the entire group more efficient.
Chen Pingsheng told Song Yanxi to be more careful and just work from home in the future since his house was so big.
