"Live, live, live, Mr. Chen. Your ice bucket challenge has completely brought TikTok to life. Advertising is so soft!"
After handling important matters, Zhang Ming immediately gave Chen Star phone to report on the company's operating conditions.
"Really?"
Although Chen Xing was asking, he was not surprised at all, because he knew very well the value of the Ice Bucket Challenge, a charity activity.
The main reason why it became popular is that it is a public welfare entertainment.
What is public welfare entertainment?
To put it bluntly, it means that caring people contribute to the public welfare while having fun.
Who can refuse to be a bad friend and do it by naming friends?
Furthermore, the ice and water in the Ice Bucket Challenge are easy to obtain, and participants have nothing to lose. They can also get phone calls and other rewards. Why not?
“How many big international brands have come to your door? I have said something ugly before. This time you have to strengthen the review. If you are framed again, it will be difficult to come back.”
Chen Xing’s friendly reminder.
He can save TikTok once, but that doesn’t mean he can save it a second time, because the opponent’s offensive will only become more and more fierce.
“You understand, I have asked the review department to recruit people urgently. It is expected to recruit 1,000 people domestically, and let them be responsible for global video review and build a content review center.” Zhang Ming also said with gratitude. Made his own plan.
Being involved in the "racial discrimination controversy" was largely due to him outsourcing TikTok's video review to save trouble. He really didn't expect such a trick.
If he were asked to choose again, he would directly set up a video review center to judge the strength of the review based on the video content in different regions.
This is not an easy job and requires training for employees.
In China, which is relatively conservative, videos showing bikini girls dancing will most likely be censored. However, in more open-minded regions such as Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, as long as the key points are not revealed, even the three-point pose can pass the censorship.
Different regions have different audit intensity. This is why Zhang Ming outsourced the TikTok audit department. The scale is too difficult to measure.
“1,000 people can create more jobs and cope with the wave of layoffs caused by the withdrawal of foreign-funded enterprises.” Chen Xing nodded slightly.
Due to the impact of the U.S. dollar interest rate hike, nearly 30% of foreign-funded enterprises in Longguo have withdrawn. Many people are facing unemployment and the difficulty of finding a job.
In addition to the departure of foreign-funded companies, the rise in U.S. dollar interest rates has also affected the international trade business. Many foreign trade companies have closed down, and low-cost OEM factories have closed due to reduced order volumes.
To put it simply, there is a high degree of overcapacity.
Of course.
The impact is not one-sided.
Longguo’s export products were blocked, resulting in domestic overcapacity. In the United States, prices began to soar because they could not buy the products they needed.
One is a big producer and the other is a big consumer. Both sides have urgent matters that need to be solved. Whoever cannot handle it first needs to bow to the other party and admit defeat.
"By the way." Zhang Ming suddenly thought of something and asked: "I heard that Mr. Chen, you are working on a supercomputer over there?"
"What's wrong?"
< br>Chen Xing acquiesced and asked at the same time.
“It’s like this. Now the users of Douyin and TikTok have increased dramatically, and there is a lot of data that needs to be processed, such as interest push, user identification and other behavioral analysis. This requires high computing power. If it is convenient for you, I want to do in-depth business docking with your Longxing Group, and you will provide computing power for my algorithm.”
Zhang Ming said frankly.
"I see." Chen Xing nodded slightly and responded: "The first phase of the supercomputer project has been completed, and the second phase is still being worked on. It should be no problem to provide computing power services."
< br>“Then it’s settled.”
Zhang Ming smiled.
“Okay.”
Chen Xing did not refuse.
At present, Longxing Group has provided big data services to ByteDance, and it doesn’t matter if it adds more computing power. It builds supercomputers in order to take over the computing power business.
Currently, the Pangu supercomputer still has half of its computing power. By the time it runs at full capacity, the Nuwa supercomputer is probably almost ready.
"Then I won't bother you. This year's annual report will definitely surprise you, believe me." Zhang Ming said mysteriously.
“Okay, I’ll wait.”
Chen Xing responded with a faint smile.
He will not doubt the profitability of ByteDance. In the Internet era, every user is a walking money bag. If you want to put your hand in, you must achieve comprehensive coverage, and Douyin and TikTok are just right This can be done.
Take the current Douyin in China as an example. People ranging from 70-year-olds to 3-year-old children are playing it, and they all have content that interests them.
Don’t think it’s magical, but it’s also true.
For example, the operas, old movies and folk songs that a 70-year-old man likes, the educational videos and children's songs that a 3-year-old child likes to watch, no matter how unique your taste is, as long as you are not a pervert, the Douyin content library will do it Meet user needs.
Now that live broadcast permissions are fully opened, coupled with ByteDance’s counterattack in word-of-mouth, with the two major killers of advertising and live broadcast revenue, achieving profitability is a matter of minutes.
"Then I won't disturb your rest."
"You should also rest early."
The two of them said a few more polite words and then hung up the phone.
After Zhang Ming hung up the phone, he looked at the computer display screen in front of him. The Chanel advertising opening quotation in the email made him couldn't help but sigh: "The opening price is 120 million US dollars in 5 seconds. Damn it. The premium for luxury goods is really high.”
He really never thought that TikTok’s commercial value would be so high.
He never thought that a 5-second on-screen advertisement could earn 120 million U.S. dollars, which is a quote of almost 800 million dragon national currency!
However, Chanel is not a fool. They are willing to invest money to attract traffic. The main reason is the traffic of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Now the number of daily active users of TikTok has reached 1.5 billion. Most of them are new users who have heard about the Ice Bucket Challenge and downloaded it after hearing the news, which has greatly increased its commercial value.
No luxury brand is willing to give up the opportunity to promote itself.
If 1,000 people are promoted, as long as 1 person buys Chanel, then their promotion is successful.
……
And on the other side.
Chen Xing hung up the phone and was about to pack his things and go home, when suddenly a long-lost voice sounded in his mind.
【Ding! 】
[It has been detected that the comprehensive market value of "Longxing Group" has entered the top three levels in the world. The mission of ascending to the throne is being evaluated for the first time. If it is among the top three levels in the world, the task is completed. 】
[Enterprise influence is being calculated...]
[Market share is being calculated...]
[Market recognition is being calculated...]
[The company's market value is being calculated...]
"System?"
Chen Xing was stunned.
He is naturally not unfamiliar with the mechanical sounds of the system. After all, the first time he gets up every day, he takes a look at the talent market and recruits anyone who is suitable.
If he remembered correctly the "Ascend to the Throne" mission was to run Longxing Group to the third level in the world among private enterprises.
Is it possible that it has been reached now?
Not to mention, it’s really possible!
Take the recent brain-computer interface as an example. This is an emerging trillion-level market, and a large number of ALS patients need treatment.
In addition to brain-computer interfaces, Longxing Group also has a complete semiconductor chip industry chain, a global 5G network communication business, and a mobile phone business that sells well in various countries.
Which multinational group has such a wide business coverage and is also at the top of the industry?
It is no exaggeration to say that currently only Longxing Group has done it!
And he came to the top by stepping on companies such as Gaotong Company, Apple Company, Dutch ASML Company, and Korean Star Group.
"Will it be a red talent again?"
Chen Xing was a little curious.
You must know that in the past, mission rewards basically rewarded red-quality system talents. The rapid development of Longxing Group’s technology cannot be separated from the promotion of red-quality talents. This is Longxing Group’s root.
He has also thought about it. If red talents are rewarded with self-selected gift packages this time, they must be in the field of artificial intelligence to promote the rapid development of AI at full speed.
Chen Xing leaned back on the ergonomic chair, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
After about five minutes, the system prompt sounded again.
【Ding! 】
【Assessment completed! 】
【Enterprise influence score: SSS! 】
【Enterprise user rating: SSS! 】
【Enterprise technology score: SSS! 】
【Market recognition score: SSS! 】
【Speed score for listing: SSS! 】
The full score evaluation of the SSS system made Chen Xing feel hopeful. If there is another red talent, Longxing Group will be even more powerful and reach a higher level.
However.
It’s not over yet.
[The average valuation of Longxing Group given by various institutions and economic organizations is being calculated. Please wait a moment.]
[Statistics completed. 】
[JP Morgan Chase: 1.1 trillion US dollars. 】
[Longxin Bank: 1.2 trillion US dollars. 】
[Sequoia Capital: 1.6 trillion US dollars. 】
[Standard Chartered Bank: 1.5 trillion US dollars. 】
When the estimated market value of global financial institutions was released, Chen Xingcai suddenly discovered that Longxing Group seemed to be at the top of the world.
As expected.
[Apple’s current market value is US$940 billion. 】
[The current market value of Gaotong Company is US$670 billion. 】
[Microsoft's current market value is 8.9 trillion US dollars. 】
[Amazon’s current market value is US$1.1 trillion. 】
As the system lists the market value of Silicon Valley companies, basically none exceeds 1.1 trillion. In other words, as long as financial institutions around the world believe that the market value of Longxing Group exceeds 1.1 trillion, then the world’s five hundred It is the turn of Dragon Kingdom Enterprises to sit on the throne of the most powerful enterprises.
[The average estimate is completed. The current market value of Longxing Group is estimated to be 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, ranking first, triggering excess rewards...]
[After comprehensive evaluation and calculation, the "Ascend to the Throne" task Completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining x2 red quality talents in the designated field and unlocking the permission to recruit designated talents in all fields. 】"Hiss!"
Chen Xing was no longer calm.
Two designated red quality talents, what kind of bicycle do you need?
He no longer needs to elaborate too much on the role of red-quality talents. These are the top people in the world.
One person can defeat a million troops!
Now give me two, I’m sorry, I’m really going to overturn the table!
But what surprises Chen Xing the most is that he has unlocked the authority to recruit designated talents in all fields. This is a timely help!
Brain-computer interface, artificial intelligence, and new energy vehicles all require a large number of middle-level talents. Chen Xing is particularly troubled by this, because if recruitment cannot be specified in the field, the efficiency is too slow.
If Chen Xing was deliberately conservative before, now he wants to tell the world...
From now on, offense and defense will change!
“Specify the areas of brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development, and use red quality talent rewards.” Chen Xing said without hesitation.
Brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence are the general directions set by him, and both have huge room for development.
For example, brain-computer interface can only cure ALS now. What about after in-depth development?
Is it possible to cure depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and other diseases caused by neuropathy or degeneration?
If so, how big of a market is this?
If nothing else, take depression and Alzheimer's disease as examples. There are over 100 million people in the world. Assuming that 10 million people are willing to be implanted with brain-computer interfaces, and each person only earns 100,000, that is Trillion-level growth.
In addition to curing neurological diseases, if the brain-computer interface is further developed, can it develop functions similar to cyberpunk?
Don’t say it!
It is possible!
If cyberpunk functions are really developed, for example, no mobile phone is needed, and a virtual panel can be summoned with just a thought, will it be able to attract young people to implant it?
Trillion market?
No!
Ten trillion supermarket!
In addition to brain-computer interfaces, the market potential of artificial intelligence is also in the trillions. This has been personally verified by Chen Xing. As long as it eats it, the so-called Silicon Valley companies that lead technology will not be worthy of giving shoes to Longxing Group!
【Ding! 】
【The fields of brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development have been designated! 】
[Congratulations to the host for receiving 1 red quality talent each in the fields of brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence development. Qin Hao and Zhang Yang are making arrangements to return to China and are expected to arrive at Shenzhen International Airport in 12 hours. Please pay attention to the reception! 】
“12 hours.”
Chen Xing had a sharp look in his eyes.
Longxing Group has been sanctioned and monopolized by Silicon Valley companies for so long, it is time to add fuel to the fire and let them have a taste.
“Open the targeted recruitment talent market.”
[Ding! 】
【Opened! 】
[Talent Market]: Level 6 (it costs 1.5 billion to upgrade the level. The higher the market level, the higher the quality of talents that can be recruited.)
[List of talents that can be recruited today]
1. Blue quality has been folded.
2. Wang Qing, purple quality, one degree
Scientific research talent, focusing on chip design, the required funds for recruitment: 7,000 yuan.
3. The blue quality has been folded.
4. Xu Linglin, purple quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, specializing in chip circuit design, recruitment required funds: 7,000 yuan.
5. Wu Sanping, purple quality, one degree, scientific research talent, focusing on chip circuit improvement technology, recruitment required funds: 7,000 yuan.
"Purple photo talents are too common. I wonder if we can specify ternary chip talents?" Chen Xing muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, he simply upgraded the market and said: "Raise the level of the talent market."
【bite! 】
【1.5 billion funds have been deducted from Longxing Group's account, and the talent market level has been upgraded to level 7. Upgrading to level 8 requires 5 billion funds! 】
[The refresh probability of each quality talent in the 7-level market is as follows: purple quality talent is 40%, blue quality talent probability drops to 15%, gold quality talent refresh probability is increased to 5%, and red quality talent is 0.1 %! 】
After the mobile phone business, 5G high-speed network business, and semiconductor chip business all achieved profitability, Longxing Group’s corporate account still has 37.6 billion in liquidity.
Chen Xing did not hesitate for a moment, and he was not a hesitant person. He muttered silently: "Continue to improve the level of the talent market."
[Ding! 】
【5 billion funds have been deducted from Longxing Group's account, and the talent market level has been upgraded to level 8. Upgrading to level 9 requires 10 billion funds! 】
[The refresh probability of each quality talent in the 8th level market is as follows: purple quality talent is 50%, blue quality talent probability drops to 10%, gold quality talent refresh probability is increased to 10%, and red quality talent is 1 %! 】
“Gold quality is 10%, red quality is 1%. If you add tens of millions of funds to double the recruitment, high-quality talents will be easily available!”
Chen Xing was a little excited.
"By the way, there are also rankings!"
He didn't know what kind of changes the world's No. 1 throne could bring to Longxing Group, but for Chen Xing personally, it was a real recruitment probability. promote.
“Open the global enterprise rankings.”
[Ding! 】
【Opened! 】
[Enterprise Ranking·Global]
[First place: Longxing Group, with a current estimated market value of US$1.3 trillion, mainly engaged in semiconductor chips, information communications, mobile equipment, Energy storage and other businesses. 】
[Second place: Amazon, with a current market value of US$1.1 trillion, mainly engaged in e-commerce retail, cloud computing services, logistics and supply chain management, advertising and marketing services and other businesses. 】
[Third place: Apple, with a current market value of US$940 billion, mainly engaged in smart hardware products, Internet of Things, semiconductor chip design, intelligent hardware ecological services and other businesses. 】
……
[Ninth place: Nvidia, with a current market value of US$710 billion, mainly engaged in gaming graphics cards, data centers, artificial intelligence training and other businesses. 】
[Tenth place: Gaotong Company, with a current market value of US$670 billion, mainly engaged in semiconductor chip design and information communication business. 】
Among the top ten companies on the list, only Longxing Group has not been listed, which exactly shows the market’s expectations.
Without listing, there will be a market valuation of trillions. Once water is injected into the listing, no one knows how much market value Longxing Group can soar.
Although they are not listed, the world's top financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Sequoia Capital do not make random valuations, but make judgments based on comprehensive technological strength.
Just realizing a closed loop of the entire semiconductor chip industry chain can allow Longxing Group to obtain a valuation of US$400 billion, not to mention that Longxing Group also holds patents for 5G high-speed networks, as well as all-solid-state batteries and brains. Computer interface technology patents are valued at US$1.3 trillion, which is already low.
According to the listing water injection price, Sequoia Capital is expected to at least triple, and may even reach five times. The current Longxing Group is so popular that it is almost overwhelming Silicon Valley technology companies.
Chen Xing clicked on the ranking probability bonus. The world's number one increase in positions directly reduced the recruitment probability of blue quality and white quality talents to 0.01%. The purple quality also dropped, only the gold quality and The recruitment probability of red quality talents is increasing.
“10% gold quality bonus and 2% red quality bonus. In other words, I now have a 20% probability of producing gold quality talents and a 3% probability of producing red quality talents. ." Chen Xing clenched his fists, this is a huge room for growth.
If you add a bonus of tens of millions of recruitment fees, doesn’t it mean that there is a 40% probability of recruiting golden quality talents?
"Even the quality of red is 6%, so I have to give it a try."
Chen Xing murmured in his heart.
He did not hesitate for a moment, silently thinking in his mind to change the recruitment conditions: "Change the targeted recruitment to talents in the ternary field."
[Ding! 】
【Recruitment conditions have been changed! 】
“Refresh the targeted market.”
【Deducting 10W of funds, the talent market list has been refreshed! 】
[List of talents available for recruitment today]
1. Wang Baiming, golden quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary computer system programming, recruitment required funds: 100,000 Yuan.
2. Sun Yin, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary EDA software design, recruitment required funds: 10,000 yuan.
3. Yang Bin, purple quality, one degree, scientific research talent, ternary chip design assistant, recruitment required funds: 8,000 yuan.
4. Xu Chuan, golden quality, Cambridge returnee, scientific research talent, specializes in ternary software programming, recruitment funds required: 100,000 yuan.
5. Lin Dong, purple quality, one degree, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary chip design, recruitment funds required: 9,000 yuan.
Looking at the golden light flashing in front of him, Chen Xing finally realized the seriousness of the matter. It was time for the scientific research team of Longxing Group to make a major change and bring some technological shock to the world!
"Recruit all."
[Ding! 】
【Recruitment successful! 】
[227,000 yuan has been deducted from the account of Longxing Group. Lin Dong, Xu Cun, Yang Bin, Sun Yin, and Wang Baiming are about to arrive at the company. Please pay attention to arranging personnel to receive them! 】
Chen Xing didn't care. The operations of various departments of Longxing Group were very mature. When system talents came, someone would naturally receive them.
“Continue refreshing!”
【bite! 】
【After deducting 20W of funds, the talent market list has been refreshed! 】
[List of talents available for recruitment today]
1. Pang Tiese, purple quality, 985 degree, scientific research talent, ternary chip design assistant, recruitment required funds: 8,000 yuan.
2. Tang Yuanning, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary instruction programming, recruitment funds required: 10,000 yuan.
3. Zhang Haofan, golden quality, Yale returnee, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary chip design, recruitment funds required: 100,000 yuan.
4. Chen Liang, purple quality, 211 degree, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary software programming, recruitment funds required: 10,000 yuan.
5. Lin Jiafeng, purple quality, two academic degrees, scientific research talent, specializing in ternary computer programming, recruitment funds required: 9,000 yuan.
“Recruit all.”
Chen Xing still did not hesitate at all.
The ternary chip is currently the largest and most heavily invested project of the Longxing Group, and is led by Gao Zhengqian in research and development.
According to Gao Zhengqian’s original statement, ternary chips will reshape the semiconductor chip landscape. By then, Longxing Group will be able to “take advantage of the chips and harvest the world”!
While Chen Xing continued to recruit talents and laid the foundation for the ternary chip, an extremely low-key Chiqi car parked smoothly at the entrance of the Longxing Group headquarters base.
The security guards were immediately alert and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "This is the Longgang headquarters base of Longxing Group. What is your purpose of coming?"
At night, Longxing Group declined guests unless they were By appointment.
"I..."
The driver who was driving the car was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old man in the back seat.
"Brother, please tell me, Mr. Chen, that there is a guest from the imperial capital who wants to chat with him in person."
