Chapter 892 "Donated by Director Ma!"
"It feels so comfortable to be in a fairyland."
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Tan Jincheng and his group, led by relevant personnel from Guizhou Province, plunged into the mountains near Gui'an New District.
The temperature in the mountains is lower than in the city, and it is a bit cold at this time, but it makes Tan Jincheng, who is wrapped in a down jacket, feel very relaxed and happy.
The weather is pretty good today. Although it is a little cold, the group of people strolling slowly in the mountains is also a unique feeling.
"Yes, the mountains here are completely different from those in Zhejiang Province. Mr. Tan should come and see more."
"Hey, what's wrong with that? I thought about driving around the country a long time ago and seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. What a pity."
The leader surnamed Chen said thoughtfully: "So that the electric vehicle seaport tour that Flash Technology had done back then has something to do with Mr. Tan's idea?"
Tan Jincheng was slightly stunned: "I didn't expect that you still remember this incident, leader. It's good, it really has something to do."
The leader surnamed Chen, born in Xishi's hometown, had a period of experience in the administration of Ningbo City. He worked in the province from 2007 to 2012, in charge of publicity.
These five years have also been the five years of rapid development of Tan Jincheng's career. As a rising young entrepreneur in Zhejiang Province, the two have a lot of contact in publicity.
Although the two sides have no selfish relationships, they can be regarded as old acquaintances.
Although Tan Jincheng is very interested in being expensive and expensive, he also needs an intermediary, and the strong recommendation of the leader surnamed Chen is also the reason.
Although his term of office is only half a year, this does not affect. As a national key project, Tan Jincheng is not worried about any problems with the data center of the Giant Engine.
And he clearly remembers that in another year and a half, a large number of companies will place data centers in their provinces, including Apple's domestic data to the cloud.
"Haha, why don't you remember that this event caused a lot of sensation back then. At that time, our industrial foundation was still relatively weak. We were still very capable of traveling on electric bikes for long distances."
In the view of the leader surnamed Chen, the planning of the event of the Flash of the Seaside Tour back then was very thoughtful. It used a large number of professional media and online video to combine it, not only promoted the product performance of its own company, but also promoted some backward areas with good scenery, which brought some promotion effects to the local tourism industry.
This event was very popular back then, and the video click rates of that series were all good in today's environment.
There were also interviews in the province at that time. It was at that time that he began to notice Tan Jincheng, who was just in his early 20s, but he didn't expect that many years later, the young man's achievements were already so great.
"Yes, we are getting better day by day. At that time, we were very grateful for the city and the province's help."
The reason why Tan Jincheng was able to develop so fast at that time was indeed because he benefited a lot from ZF. Without strong support, how could it be so smooth and fast?
"Look at Mr. Tan, the climate here is suitable and the geology is very stable, so it is very suitable for being a data center."
After the reminiscence was over, the leaders began to promote their own industrial chain advantages.
Before 2017, in addition to the core cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the data centers of traditional Internet companies were mainly located in Mongolian provinces (such as Telecom's Cloud Computing Information Park), Sichuan Province, and Shanxi and Hebei Province.
Sichuan Province has a big data center with Chrysanthemum Factory, and Ali's data center is basically located in the two places of Israel, Shanxi Province and Hebei Province.
Mobile data centers are mainly located in cities with abundant coal mine resources in East China. Although they have policy support, your province does not have any advantage in competition at this time.
In terms of policy, there are also other regions. In terms of low power, not to mention the provinces with abundant coal mine resources, even the Sichuan Province next door has no worse advantages in terms of climate and power resources than them.
Moreover, because they built it early, they have greater advantages. At least infrastructure such as roads have great advantages over them.
In addition to talking about climate and power resources, Gui'an New District also has policies. Facing a barren mountain where there is not even a good road, he can only bite the bullet and introduce it.
There is indeed some connection between the two, but over the years, he cannot be sure whether this connection can play a decisive role.
At this point, he couldn't help but feel a sudden enlightenment: "Don't Tan still have some industries in the mountain city? Is it part of the assets of Lifan Auto acquired?"
Tan Jincheng was stunned and suddenly mentioned this matter if he didn't understand the introduction.
However, he immediately understood.
"Yes, it's really good here. Although the infrastructure is still a bit imperfect, this location is indeed very suitable for data center construction. If it can be hidden in the mountain, it should be safer."
While speaking, Tan Jincheng pointed to the mountain where they were currently.
Referring to the design of the air raid shelter, if the server is placed in the mountain, and supporting facilities are established nearby, and the road is built, it will be a huge digital industrial park.
"Inside the mountain?"
The leader couldn't help but lit up. This design plan is indeed good. Isn't this the biggest advantage of your province at present? Compared with other regions, putting the server in the mountain is definitely the safest.
At present, there is no hole-type data center in China. Tan Jincheng's solution is not only a problem with his data center construction, but also provides a new idea for their investment promotion.
What is the core point of the data center? Isn’t it security?
"It's indeed a very good idea. Mr. Tan, do you think?"
Most people at the upper class know that this young man is very direct and doesn’t like to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, it’s best to say it directly.
What's more, he had dealt with Tan Jincheng when he was in Zhejiang Province, and he also knew more or less about this very talented young man.
"I think this place is pretty good. I like it very much in your province. The data center of Juliang Engine can be placed here."
Just now, Tan Jincheng knew that the other party could not escape the data center, and this favor must be given to him, which is considered his departure political achievements.
But this is in line with his idea, and he never thought about putting data centers in other provinces.
The leader surnamed Chen nodded with satisfaction. It was so comfortable to talk about cooperation with such a happy entrepreneur. If it was OK, it would be OK. If it was not OK, it would be impossible. If it was the case, the issue of attracting investment would be much simpler.
The leader surnamed Chen also had his work habits when he was in Zhejiang Province. Tan Jincheng was interested in investing, he was interested in attracting investment, and the two sides hit it off, and other things were much simpler.
Friday, February 10, 2017.
Juliang Engine Gui'an large data center officially signed a memorandum of cooperation, and a national data center with a total investment of no less than 6 billion yuan is planned to be officially settled in Guizhou Province.
It is only a week before the first meeting between the two parties. Although there is no specific design intention yet, the cooperation between the two parties has basically been decided.
This also made your province feel relieved. According to Tan Jincheng's idea, if the cave-style data center plan is officially decided, the mountains in your province will have a place to use.
Gui'an New District can really build a large data center industrial park, which is exciting to think about.
"Give your data center a name, Mr. Tan, so that it is easier to submit approval to the upper level."
One week, Tan Jincheng got a homely experience, and the province where he worked with Tan Jincheng for the first time also felt the uniqueness of this young entrepreneur.
He will fight for the discounts he deserves, but he will not make any excessive demands. Everything starts from the actual situation of the company and doesn’t talk much nonsense. Considering the reputation he left behind when he invested in various places, everyone is even more excited.
But what excited them the most was the news coming from across the ocean.
On the day Tan Jincheng came to Guizhou Province, the flight from Cheng Linfeng to NY also took off at the same time. All procedures were completed during the Chinese New Year. Cheng Linfeng took the team that Tan Jincheng assigned him to Wall Street and began his cash-out journey.
When Cheng Linfeng took off, Musk, who was far away in North America, also helped him contact a team of top lawyers in North America at the request of Tan Jincheng to provide legal aid for this cash out.
Having said that, the madman's attitude towards the old man taking office was not very good.
Musk was happy and was also a little confused about Tan Jincheng's plan to reduce his holdings of Tesla shares by 6.9 million shares. The amount of cashed out of over US$1.7 billion is about 12 billion yuan at the real-time exchange rate.
This cash out alone is enough to meet the overall investment and construction of Jiliang Engine in your province's data center.
"Director Ma donated a data center to us, hehe."
Cheng Linfeng will report work progress to Tan Jincheng in real time every day. Tesla's rise in January was good, with an overall increase of 17.90%, and the stock price was locked at US$251.93.
Tesla's good luck in the first quarter, with far exceeding last year's delivery volume. The edamadou S and the edamadou X are still the leading models of Tesla.
Although it is in a production climbing period, judging from January data, Tesla's delivery volume in the first quarter should be around 25,000 vehicles, an increase of more than 60% compared with the same period in 2016.
This is a very favorable thing for Tesla's stock price and a very favorable thing for Tan Jincheng's share reduction.
If the expectation rises, his shares will naturally not have to be sold, and there is no need to discount too much.
However, Nvidia's shares have not changed much, with an overall increase of only 2.29% in January.
"Haha, Director Ma also asked me about some news about Weilai. He did not inquire secretly and said that Weilai would be one of their biggest competitors."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Cheng Linfeng smiled and said, "I mainly asked about our car models, but the one I talked about the most was the EP9. He also said that if the next batch is produced, I want us to reserve one for him."
Tan Jincheng also laughed, he was not surprised by this.
After the release of Weilai EP9, it caused a lot of sensation. Although it was controversial and could not be mass-produced, the performance was beyond words.
With the Sai Phosphorus sports car technology and the team provided by Lotus, the Weilai EP9 has many British descent. First of all, in terms of power, the EP9 can output a maximum of 1,360 horsepower, and accelerate from 100 kilometers in just 2.7 seconds.
It only takes 7.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 kilometers, and the maximum speed can reach 313 kilometers per hour.
Pure electric sports cars are excellent in terms of power, acceleration, maximum speed, endurance and handling performance. Although they cannot be mass-produced, there is still no problem with the New Taipei Track.
During New Year's Day, under Hu Zhengnan's leadership, EP9 went to the North New York Track for a lap, and the 6 minutes, 45 seconds, 90 set a new lap record for domestic cars.
Wei Lai has never promoted this achievement much, but Hu Zhengnan celebrated it on Weibo, and not many people know it, but it still attracted a lot of attention in the track circle, and it was normal for Musk to notice it.
"It's a pity that we can't mass production and can't go on the road legally. I hope we can produce a legally-loaded sports car in the future. Tell Director Ma that I can leave one for him in the second batch."
On the one hand, if there is no large-scale publicity, EP9 can only run on the track and cannot be put on the road. The second point is that the production cost is too expensive. Although Wei Lai has these technologies, he still cannot control it.
When Hu Zhengnan celebrated on Weibo, there were people in the comments section that were sarcastic and said that Lotus had just changed his skills, and he couldn't be considered his own skills.
There is nothing wrong with saying this, and Tan Jincheng accepted it calmly, but Lutes is still mine. One day, Wei Lai will produce sports cars that can be mass-produced and legally launched. The Lutes Jiangcheng factory has already started production. If these technologies are digested, it is not a problem to build a sports car.
"Okay, then I'll tell him that this share reduction is due to his help, but this guy has a bad relationship with the old man. Will we be implicated?"
Cheng Linfeng thought to take advantage of this crazy man. He only produced six EP9s in the first batch, but he could not get them. The second batch planned to produce only 20. Although he wanted one to collect it, he had no nerve to say it.
I didn’t see that the boss’s own car is used in the imperial capital as a show car.
"Okay, I understand. Foreigners are more realistic. They are also a need for benefits. You can just operate according to their thinking mode. If you don't understand, you can ask Shen Nanpeng for advice. I have also said hello to him."
Nvidia and Tesla have many shares to reduce. If Tan Jincheng wants to deal with it at one time, he will need to find more institutions to cooperate, including top investment banks such as Red Shirt, Pioneer and BlackRock, who have expressed their interest in these two shares.
No one understands the value of these two shares better than them. Although it can make Tan Jincheng, a "foreigner", make a lot of money, they will definitely not lose.
"Okay, I understand."
This is what makes your province happy. At a reception, Tan Jincheng, who had drunk some wine, accidentally revealed that they were all ready for the total construction funds of the data center. Although this is the case, no one is a human.
The next day, the leader surnamed Chen invited Tan Jincheng to visit, asking whether Tan Jincheng was true.
Everyone knows that Tan Jincheng, who has the title of Zhejiang Province's cash king, is rich, but everyone knows that Tan Jincheng has more assets in his hands are securities, and has never heard of any major operations of Juliu Engine recently, except for Nvidia's three-month share reduction plan.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Moreover, since the acquisition of Meizu cost about 20 billion yuan, people are actually a little nervous about the data center plan that claims to have a total investment of no less than 6 billion yuan.
Tan Jincheng replied with a smile: "It's true. We are currently dealing with Tesla's shares. The preliminary negotiations have been reached. This time we can almost reduce our holdings of Tesla shares by about 12 billion yuan at one time."
Although the memorandum of cooperation has been signed, Tan Jincheng has not yet been able to leave your province. The specific location selection, specific area, design method, environmental impact assessment and other series of plans need to be discussed together.
The project, which has been named "Juliu Seven Star Data Center" according to the geographical environment, has been officially launched, and the project team is also under construction.
"How many?"
The leader surnamed Chen was a little stunned. He had never seen any scene before, and the 12 billion yuan figure could not scare him, but this was the first time he had seen such a "weird" thing.
Who has prepared twice the construction funds before the construction project has started.
The look at Tan Jincheng couldn't help but feel a little bit unrecognizable.
Tan Jincheng smiled faintly. Such a person naturally knew who was supporting him. He was not afraid, but he didn't want the other party to misunderstand that the 12 billion yuan was prepared for the data center.
"This is the total value, but we don't have that much in our hands. We also need to pay some processing fees. In addition, it is not that easy to transfer all of them back to China. However, you don't need to worry about the construction plan of the data center."
The travel expenses of Cheng Linfeng's team, the cost of the lawyer team, and the public relations expenses of Wall Street are all huge expenses. In addition to these, the big money is still concessions to institutions.
The overall cost may exceed 10%, and the purchase can exceed 10 billion yuan.
Besides, he never thought of transferring all of the money back to RMB assets. He had to keep some US dollars and other assets such as gold and other assets abroad, which would facilitate future investments overseas.
He nodded slowly and said, "So that's the case. That's the case, but it's great. Mr. Tan is still the same personality as before, which does not cause trouble for local ZF."
"But you should just reveal some news about this, as this will be beneficial to you."
The overall investment of Juliang Engine in Meizu Technology is a package of acquisitions + financial support and strategic cooperation with Weilai. The overall investment will exceed 20 billion yuan. In addition to the mobile phone business, the smart car system actually has no income for a long time. To put it bluntly, Tan Jincheng found a non-profit job for Meizu.
For any forward-looking layout, some people will exclaim that they have vision, but some people will also question whether they can succeed. No one knows how Meizu performs in the future.
It may be a very profitable company, or it may be a bottomless pit.
Tan Jincheng is not short of money, but he cannot sell or pledge all securities for investments of 20 billion or 6 billion. It is normal for the market to question it.
"Okay, I will reveal some news to the outside world later."
Tan Jincheng nodded, understanding that this person was a kind reminder. Speaking of which, they were also considered "his own people". His resume and Tan Jincheng's trajectory overlap with that person.
Although they have no selfish relationships and do not have much communication, they are tacit.
"Okay, it's fine for Mr. Tan to understand. I'm not worried about Mr. Tan's determination. The main reason is that we must not ignore the doubts from the outside world."
This matter is still a sequelae of Meizu's lightning acquisition. Although the popularity has dropped, the Huang family was ruthlessly cleaned up and eliminated by Tan Jincheng himself, which really shocked everyone.
Tan Jincheng's image has always been gentle and elegant, and his work layout is silent. When the investment and acquisition companies grow and grow, everyone has completely discovered: "Damn it, it turns out that it is this guy again, which makes him make a fortune."
But this is just a feeling and will not feel any resistance to Tan Jincheng.
In the eyes of some people, Meizu's acquisition this time is undoubtedly a "forced robbery". He is naturally a little scared of the ruthless measures revealed by Tan Jincheng, just afraid that this matter will fall on his head.
"What do you think of Lifan?"
Before Tan Jincheng could continue thinking, the leader asked a new question, but he was still so imaginative.
"Lifan? How to evaluate it? It's hard to get back. However, if you deal with some peripheral businesses, it's still a very good company; of course, their biggest problem is that the founder is too old."
Boss Yin, who is one year older, is already 79 years old. No matter how you maintain it, it cannot stand up to age. It is a bit difficult to manage the company by maintaining health.
In 2016, Lifan's financial situation improved a lot and did not suffer large-scale losses through a series of capital operations such as selling assets to Weilai and transferring automobile production qualifications from Li Bing's Wenjie. This made their stock perform well in the next few months.
The most sarcastic thing is that they borrowed the car production qualifications sold to Li Bing. Wenjie is still only building cars with PPT, and he is happy to make a loan fee, and can also protect the car production qualifications.
However, the two parties agreed that the lease time would be only two years and they would not lend it to them in two years.
Lifan obviously doesn't want to give up his car business. Let's talk about it two years later. Let's try it out if it is saved. In 2016, Lifan claimed to sell 128,700 cars, and the SUV model launched in June claimed to sell more than 50,000 cars.
Tan Jincheng didn't believe these two sets of numbers. Tan Jincheng knew that their SUV, which sold for 70,000 yuan, was really cheap. It really attracted many consumers in the early stage, and even made considerable progress in design compared to their previous pure copying, which made people's eye-catching.
However, the old problems have not changed much, including high fuel consumption, high noise, poor sealing, various abnormal noises in the car, etc., and the power is also a bit weaker.
This is like those movies that sell dog meat with the help of sheep. They can fool some people into entering the market at the beginning of their release, and their reputation will be ruined once it ferments.
Lifan is still the same Lifan, and his short-sightedness is still in vain.
"Okay, I understand."
The leader surnamed Chen nodded without continuing to speak. Tan Jincheng knew that he should withdraw, so he found a reason and left. Looking at Tan Jincheng's leaving figure, he felt thoughtful.
He had to change places to go to the mountain city in the second half of the year. This matter has basically been confirmed. To put it bluntly, he went to put it down.
Starting from the New Year, he was collecting some economic data from the mountain city and knew a lot about Lifan’s problems. As Tan Jincheng said, he had many problems, but he was also an excellent company.
Of course, the biggest problem is that the founder is too old.
Compared with the old boss Lifan, he admires Tan Jincheng's style of work very much. At the same time, he also knows that this young man is somewhat interested in some of Lifan's assets. He also went to Shancheng himself at the beginning of last year.
"I wonder if I'm still interested? Forget it, let's cooperate with this project first."
After thinking for a while, he had no idea. He knew Tan Jincheng's position in the upper class and could not order the other party to do anything. All he could do was win-win cooperation. At this time, he thought of the strange behavior of the young man running to Malay in March last year, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"He's a smart person."
Let it be natural. If a huge number of national-level projects such as the Seven Star Data Center are implemented, no matter what he wants, he can't ask for more.
After more than half a month of consultation between the two sides, the Juliu Qiliang data center project was officially approved.
On February 28, Tan Jincheng, founder of Juliang Engine, and ZF of Guizhou Province jointly held a press conference, and the data center officially launched a project.
The first cave-type data center in China, the giant engine of Qixing Data Center, covers a total area of about 470,000 square meters (about 770 acres), and the tunnel area exceeds 30,000 square meters.
The entire data center is composed of cave data center, outdoor expansion data center and R&D and living supporting areas. It adopts the fourth generation data center technology and has high hiding, high protection and high security.
The entire data center is divided into phase one and phase two projects, with a planned storage of 300,000 servers. After the first phase is completed, it can accommodate more than 50,000 servers.
This data center will store the four core companies under the control of Huliu Engine, Orange, Flash and Meizu, and provide high-security and high-reliability cloud services.
Light industry (flash) + mobile phone (Meizu) + automobile (Weilai) + artificial intelligence (orange)!
A complete ecological chain is gradually forming. Compared with Xiaomi's ecological chain, a huge number of ecological chains have more automobiles.
Compared with BAT and other companies that build an Internet ecosystem, the huge number of ecological chain systems have two more hardware systems based on Internet companies.
A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the trick.
The media gathered in the fun of Tan Jincheng since November last year, spending 30 billion yuan in just three months; of course, he is also very impressed by Tan Jincheng's ability to make money.
Tesla cashed out $1.45 billion, and Nvidia cashed out $4.36 billion. The two combined exceeded 40 billion, and there were more than 10 billion left after spending 30 billion!
"Haha, there are not so many things in reality. There are also a lot of concessions and expenses in the middle. The media doesn't know if you can still not understand."
As soon as the press conference ended, Tan Jincheng received several calls, including Rebs, Little Ma Brother, and Little Ma Brother also wanted to build a data center in Guizhou Province to find out about the news.
There are also boatman Ge and Li Auto from the same province. These two people are a little curious about the creation of Tan Jincheng's new ecosystem.
"It's not simple. You'll be equivalent to not spending such a big investment; let's do this, and chat in the imperial capital in a few days?"
"No problem."
It was March again, and it was the second session of the Two Sessions. Boss Tan, who was good at making big moves at the beginning of the year, brought new popularity to the Two Sessions with a national-level data center project.
Whether it is physical or the Internet, the series of actions by Weilai from 2016 to early 2017 are closely related to the hot topics of this year's Two Sessions.
Tan Jincheng, which was temporarily unveiled last year, is destined to be a focus this year.
(This chapter ends)
