Chapter 303 Laying out the brain-computer interface, talking to WuXi Group
“In less than a year, it will become a company with a market capitalization of 100 billion.” This sentence made Xiao Gang a little confused. Where did Chen Xing’s confidence come from?
Even if Kunpeng Company, Rice Company and Longxing Technology join forces, it is impossible to say that you can 100% operate an unregistered company to a market value of 100 billion, right?
If it were that simple, Penguin's subsidiaries would have sprouted everywhere.
You must know that Penguin, a company that "buys, buys, buys" in the industry, does not like to buy, but is limited by its inability to make it.
Why did it invest in Wangdong Platform?
It wasn’t because I was greedy for the online shopping pie. The website I developed had traffic but no transaction volume, so I had no choice but to invest in it.
For example, there are the members of the "Taishan Society" and the "Chaoshan Gang". There are countless joint venture projects, and the losses are hundreds of billions. I dare to guarantee it in the business field, Chen Xing is the craziest entrepreneur Xiao Gang has ever seen.
But after all, he was asking for help. Even if he knew that Chen Xing was bragging, Xiao Gang had no intention of leaving. Instead, he followed Chen Xing's words and continued: "Three joint ventures, then There is no doubt about the potential, but distant water cannot save nearby fire. Mr. Chen, if you encounter any difficulties, you may wish to talk to me. I will definitely help if you can."
What he said is very meaningful. Obviously, the purpose is to list Longxing Technology, a high-net-worth company with ultra-high investment potential, to form a financial hedge against rising U.S. interest rates.
Can Longxing Technology be listed on the market?
Yes!
But this is not necessary.
In terms of funds, Chen Xing also has the backing of the "Domestic Alliance", and he can also go to the bank to get a mortgage loan.
To deal with Longxing Technology Company, it is a dangerous strategy. The brave will win when they meet in a narrow road. That time has not yet reached that time.
Seeing that Xiao Gang was not going around, Chen Xing also opened the skylight and said frankly: "We are all cheerful people. Let me tell you in advance, Village Chief Xiao, the three of us are engaged in new energy vehicles. , belongs to the future development trend.”
“For example, today’s fuel vehicles are equivalent to the previous button machines, which can make calls and send text messages. They have basic functions. With the emergence of high-speed networks, mobile phones can be used. It can no longer be limited to making phone calls and sending and receiving text messages. Users have entertainment needs for watching videos, playing games, and reading novels, and the same goes for the automotive industry. "
"If I tell you, new energy vehicles only travel 1 kilometer. It costs 0.1 yuan, is equipped with intelligent driving, and eliminates the need for hundreds or thousands of maintenance costs. What would you choose? ”
0.1 yuan per kilometer?
Xiao Gang was shocked by Chen Xing's words.
What car is so cheap?
No. 90 gasoline is now 5.84 yuan/liter. Based on a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers, it costs 0.38 yuan per kilometer driven, which is almost four times that of a new energy vehicle.
The most important thing is that fuel vehicles need to regularly replace engine oil, oil filters, spark plugs, air filters, and various types of coolants and brake fluids. The cost of better engine oil is several hundred or even thousands, while For this part of car expenses, new energy vehicles can eliminate most of the expenses.
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Gang asked with a hint of doubt: "What is a new energy vehicle? Why is it so cheap?"
"Electric vehicles."
< br>Chen Xing said it without hesitation.
The moment he said "electric car", Xiao Gang was stunned. He thought Chen Xing had developed a new type of energy, but he didn't expect it to be an electric car. The new energy filter was instantly broken.
But think about it carefully...
Electricity is indeed cheaper than gas...
The car Xiao Gang bought himself is an Audi, and he drinks No. 95 gasoline. According to 6.23 yuan It is not difficult to figure out the oil price per liter and the fuel consumption of 8 points. For every kilometer he drives, his expenditure is about 0.5 yuan, which is five times that of a new energy vehicle.
But are electric cars really achievable?
Chen Xing looked at Xiao Gang who was lost in thought and continued: "New energy vehicles not only have low cost, but also have high intelligence inside the vehicle. They will definitely reshuffle the automobile market in the future, so I assert that, Longxing Heavy Industry can reach a market value of 100 billion or even higher within a year.”
These words are not only sonorous and powerful, but every word reveals Chen Xing’s optimism for new energy vehicles.
Especially the sentence, "Longxing Heavy Industry can reach a market value of 100 billion within a year," made Xiao Gang subconsciously feel that Chen Xing was not bragging, and that new energy vehicles might really be a trend.
After a long silence, Xiao Gang also learned about Chen Xing's attitude during the conversation.
Longxing Technology Company is listed?
No!
Longxing Heavy Industry goes public?
Some talk.
Xiao Gang is not a fool. After clarifying Chen Xing's attitude, he will naturally not force Longxing Technology Company to go public. He does not have this right or authority.
"I would like to ask, when will Longxing Heavy Industry be able to mass-produce cars? The impact of this US dollar interest rate hike will continue to amplify. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us."
Xiao Gang is already planning to start a small business. .
Originally, if a company wanted to go public, it needed to have been in business for more than three years and have been profitable for the past three years.
In addition, within the past three years, the company must have no major illegal activities and no falsification of financial accounting reports to be approved for listing.
Nowadays, special circumstances require special treatment. If new energy vehicles can really reshuffle the market, what will be the problem with Longxing Heavy Industry going public within one year? Its background is endorsed by three major companies.
"It can take as little as two months and as long as half a year. If new energy vehicles have development prospects, please ask Village Chief Xiao to take more care of them."
Chen Xing smiled.
As a CEO of a listed company, he naturally knows the listing rules, and he also knows that rules are dead and people are living unspoken rules.
"It should be." Xiao Gang responded with the same smile, but did not point out the point. The most important thing in talking about things is to stop at the point.
You know what I need, and it is enough for me to think of what you ask for.
"That's right."
After talking about the listing, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject, which made Xiao Gang's heart tighten. He knew that Chen Xing was not a good person.
He was the one who caused trouble for Chen Xing just now, and now he is back.
"Mr. Xiao, you are well-informed. Do you know any bosses in the biological field? I would like to cooperate with them on projects."
"In the biological field?"
< br>Xiao Gang tried to remember.
Chen Xing was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
He has not forgotten that Jiang Ce's ALS is still waiting for the brain-computer interface to save his life. He didn't have time before, but now he has a little time, so he naturally has to deal with this matter.
Besides, the biopharmaceutical field is also in the trillions level.
Moreover, the prototype of the brain-computer interface has already been designed by Gao Zhengqian, and is now waiting for in vivo experiments. Entrusting domestic biological companies to do it can save a lot of costs.
"If I remember correctly." Xiao Gang thought of several companies, then he took out his cell phone from his pocket and continued: "I seem to have the contact information of the CEOs of WuXi Group and Innovent Biotech, I'll look it up for you. ”
“Troublesome.”
Chen Xing felt happy and said thank you.
Let’s not mention Innovent Biologics for the moment. WuXi Group believes that many people will be familiar with it. It is the leading company in Longguo’s pharmaceutical outsourcing industry and one of the few pharmaceutical companies in the world that has deployed the entire industry chain. It is also one of the Western Pharmaceutical OEM companies have deep penetration in the biopharmaceutical field.
After some searching, Xiao Gang also found the WeChat account of Li Ge, the CEO of WuXi Group. He looked at Chen Xing again and said, "I don't have your WeChat account yet, Mr. Chen. Let's add a WeChat account first, and then I'll add the person I’ll push it over to you. If anything happens in the future, you can contact me on WeChat.”
“Okay.”
Chen Xing took out his phone.
After the two of them added each other on WeChat, Xiao Gang also recommended the CEOs of biotech companies he knew to Chen Xing in batches, and then greeted them one by one.
……
At the same time.
other side.
Xicheng of Dragon Kingdom.
Wuxi Group Headquarters Building.
Li Ge, who is completely bald and has a bald appearance, was handling documents, with a secretary beside him reporting on the progress of drug negotiations. "The third medical insurance negotiation still failed. The price from the Medical Insurance Bureau is very low. If our stage 2 diabetes drugs want to be included in the medical insurance, the price can only be controlled at 20 yuan."
Li Ge frowned and said in a deep voice: "I've made the price three times, but still can't negotiate. For the fourth time, I need you to figure out the bottom line. The price of a single box cannot be less than 20.5 yuan."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
The secretary nodded slightly.
Perhaps many people don’t know that the drugs covered by medical insurance are cheap not because the drugs themselves are cheap, but because the state provides financial subsidies and centralized procurement.
For example, a box of 10 yuan for medical insurance medicines. If it is not included in medical insurance, its price may range from hundreds of yuan. But when it is included in medical insurance, not only will the medical insurance fund subsidize it, but the overall purchase price will also be reduced accordingly. .
To put it in layman's terms, the medicines that enter the medical insurance are equivalent to the volume. Even if you only make one yuan per box, it is an astronomical figure.
Of course.
Don’t be jealous of this money.
Because the cost of drug research and development is extremely high, it not only requires time, but also requires a large investment of money. In the end, the research and development may even fail and all the money will be wasted.
Even if the research and development is successful, the patent period of the drug is limited, usually twenty years. Pharmaceutical companies need to earn back a hundred times the investment cost within a limited time.
This is also the reason why medicines cost only a few cents at most, but can be sold for hundreds of dollars. If they were not so expensive, pharmaceutical companies would simply not be able to maintain operations.
"Buzzing——"
The mobile phone on the table vibrated twice. Li Ge stopped holding the pen. He looked sideways at the mobile phone on one side, "Xiao Gang" His name suddenly made his heart tense.
“You go out first.”
“Okay, boss.”
The secretary left quickly.
Having worked hard in the company for many years, she knew very well that there were some secrets that she couldn't inquire about, and she couldn't even ask.
After the secretary left, Xiao Gang picked up his phone and checked WeChat messages.
When he saw it was a voice message, he clicked play again.
"How are you doing, Mr. Li? Here's the thing. I have a friend here who wants to get to know you, so I took the initiative and pushed your WeChat business card. If you have time, you can pass it."< br>
Xiao Gang's tone seemed to be discussing, but in fact he did not give him any room to choose.
"You can pass it when you have time" has shown his attitude, and Li Ge does not dare to neglect it. Because of the listing of WuXi Group, he has been begging Xiao Gang for half a year, but there has been no result. Told you need to queue.
Now that Xiao Gang is pushing his "friends" to look for him, it is very likely that he has encountered some trouble. If he can help solve it, it will be equivalent to Xiao Gang and his friends owed him a favor. When the time comes, he will go public. It's much simpler.
Xiao Gang thought carefully.
After clearing his thoughts, he coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, Village Chief Xiao, just ask him to join me."
"Whoops——"
The message has just been sent, just reply.
Xiao Gang: "By the way, his name is Chen Xing, the boss of Longxing Technology. You should be familiar with him. You can talk about the rest. If you encounter any difficulties, you can also consult me."
“!!!”
“Chen Xing???”
Li Ge thought it was some kind of cat or dog coming to ask him for help, but he didn’t expect it was Chen Xing, Long Xing The boss of technology!
I saw him hurriedly switch back to the main WeChat page. Sure enough, I saw the red dot of adding, and immediately chose to agree to add it.
“I have long admired Mr. Chen’s name.”
Li Ge said hello.
For their bosses in the business field, they basically go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. Chen Xing must have something to do with him.
Sure enough.
Next second.
Chen Xing got straight to the point and sent two messages in a row: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. Because we are separated by the Internet, I will not beat around the bush. When we meet offline in the future, we will organize a dinner party to apologize to you." . ”
“Let’s get to the point, Mr. Li, I have a clinical trial in the field of biotechnology, called the brain-computer interface concept. The prototype has been designed, but there is no biological experiment. Look at us. Can we cooperate? "
Chen Xing did not shy away from Xiao Gang and directly revealed the secret of his company's layout.
Because he plays the role of a middleman, if WuXi Group does not cooperate, Xiao Gang can also say a few words or help find other companies.
Besides, Chen Xing agreed to go public with Longxing Heavy Industries, and that was not for free. He wanted to get back the debt of gratitude.
"The concept of brain-computer interface..."
"So familiar."
Li Ge only felt that he had heard it somewhere.
suddenly!
He remembered!
"Yes! Masik's Neuralink company also proposed the concept of brain-computer interface. Unexpectedly, Chen Xing also laid out the concept."
Li Ge murmured to himself.
As a person in the biotechnology industry, he is very aware of what Neuralink has done for brain-computer interfaces.
Let’s put it this way, Neuralink purchased hundreds of monkeys in batches that are commonly used in biological experiments, raising the price of experimental monkeys by 20%. This also gave Li Ge an understanding of the concept of brain-computer interfaces. Initial impression.
Now Chen Xing is looking for him to cooperate, and there is also the middleman Xiao Gang as an endorsement. Even if WuXi Group has no relevant experience, Li Ge cannot refuse, because WuXi Group needs to be listed, and Xiao Gang’s approval is required for listing. .
After pondering for tens of seconds, he pressed the voice recording button and pretended to be relaxed: "No problem, the field of biotechnology is what I am good at, but Mr. Chen needs to come to Xicheng to discuss the details. Specific cooperation matters.”
“咻——”
The message was sent again.
Less than ten seconds.
Chen Xing’s reply came right away.
"No problem, I will definitely visit you someday after finishing the work at hand."
"Then it's settled."
Li Ge finished his polite words.
The moment the two ended their WeChat chat, Xiao Gang Anzi, who was far away at the Longxing base, breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Li Ge would not agree, and then he would have no place to put his old face. Fortunately, Everyone understands the ways of the world.
After simply confirming his willingness to cooperate, Chen Xing turned off the screen of his mobile phone, looked at Xiao Gang and said: "Thanks to Village Chief Xiao for the introduction, otherwise my brain-computer interface project would have to be postponed."< br>
“It’s all trivial.”
Xiao Gang waved his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then stood up and said: "It's getting late. I'd better ask for leave to come to Shencheng. I have to catch a plane back to the imperial capital."
"Then I'll see you off."
"That's so polite, Mr. Chen."
"We are all friends, as we should."
