Chapter 301 The origin of the business
The old and Chinese rich have experienced that they are unwilling to show off their wealth. Hurun was the first to come to Dongda University to create a list of the top 100 richest people. Everyone hid their net worth for fear of It's not good for yourself to be exposed.
As the same saying goes, history determines the present, and the present affects the future.
There was a short period of time in the middle. During this period, the top rich did not mind showing off their wealth and started an era of global buying and selling, which was quite similar to the Neon consortium in the 1980s that bought the whole world.
As for the small and medium-sized rich, they do not have that power, but it does not prevent them from showing off their wealth in their own way.
The main purpose of these people is the same, to prove their strength. This proof of strength can help them obtain some kind of implicit credit endorsement in borrowing and indirectly serve their capital expansion.
Showing off wealth is the appearance, but credit is the essence.
At the same time, because at that time, the entire society was in an incremental era, there were still many upward channels, and the public's acceptance of this kind of behavior was relatively high.
Most people at that time mainly had a fun mentality towards this kind of behavior.
Today, in terms of social atmosphere, the really rich people have become conservative again.
The general public can't even guarantee the integrity of their own remains. The top richest people in Tokyo University are so extravagant that they send their remains to the moon? What does this mean?
The entire domestic market is very small. Except for a few rich people who really have a special hobby for space who will place orders, most rich people are not willing to sell this face.
Of course in the future, there will be entrepreneurs who rely on the upstream and downstream industrial chain of Guangjia Aerospace to place orders in order to sell favors, but the most they can do is buy low-Earth orbit satellite graveyards, which cost 100 million US dollars. Lunar Cemetery is still a bit too expensive.
“So we mainly target foreign tycoons, especially the technology tycoons in Silicon Valley. The group of Silicon Valley Internet tycoons in the 1990s are all older and they have sufficient needs.” Lin Jia said.
After finishing speaking, she felt that she could say more on this occasion, so she added: "I think that in China, there are still too few consumer services provided to the wealthy class at the top, and they should be encouraged to 'show off' Rich'.
Nowadays, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large. To put it bluntly, if it is just food, clothing, housing and transportation, these rich people cannot even spend the interest on their working capital.
If we don’t talk about increasing taxes, adding ultra-high premium services will have great benefits. ”
Due to various reasons, it is very difficult to raise taxes at Eastern University.
In recent years, Western University has also experienced a sluggish development, so capital outflows have fundamentally improved.
But it is also difficult to raise taxes, and you are likely to continue running
As Lin Jia mentioned, it is essentially to loosen restrictions on the high-end service industry so that domestic wealthy people can spend money to enjoy high-end services. This type of service industry can bring taxation, employment and redistribution of resources.
Space funerals can even drive the development of science and technology.
In China, no matter how rich the rich are, they cannot enjoy the same quality services at the spiritual level abroad.
The most typical example is the nanny industry. Filipino maids in Xiangjiang feel like they are slaves, giving you the feeling that you are a higher class than her.
In Dongda, no matter how much money you pay, the nanny you hire will not be able to give you the same feeling. Although he is providing services to you, he will still think that in terms of personality, he is the same as the nanny. You are equal.
This is a tradition that has been held by princes and generals for thousands of years. It is also a belief that everyone is equal after smashing everything.
I talk about this because if we encourage high-end service industries, there will be many advantages but also disadvantages. There is a high probability that this kind of hierarchical concept will come back.
Not to mention side effects such as intensifying conflicts.
Any decision is a double-edged sword. Decisions can only be made by making trade-offs. There can be no decisions that have only advantages and no disadvantages.
“We will seriously consider this proposal and find ways to develop some supporting service industries.”
"The subtext I want to say is that if Yangcheng can build a good public opinion environment for the wealthy groups who buy the lunar cemetery from the perspective of public opinion, maybe there are not a few wealthy groups in Dongda who have such needs." Lin Jia's capitalist His true nature begins to be revealed.
She continued: "Regarding the space funeral business, Li Chaoren first found us through Zhejiang Business and asked if we could do similar business.
He is also older. He began to think about his own funeral.
In recent years, he didn't want to be buried in his ancestral grave, nor did he want to scatter it into the sea. He thought it was a good decision.
After our internal discussion, It was said that the ashes could be buried on the moon and a monument would be erected. Our quote at the time was US$100 million. Li Chaoren responded to us on the same day and agreed to place an order.”
Li Chaoren's ancestral home is Chaoshan. To be honest, he would not dare to return to his ancestral grave in Chaoshan after a hundred years or to be buried in Xiangjiang.
The risk of being dug out is too great.
Like the super luxurious cemetery built by Evergrande Xu in his hometown. After he entered, he first saw the merit stele with the words "Liu Fang Bai Shi" printed on it. The three dots of water in the word "Liu" were missing a little, and then the "cursive" character in the word "Fang" was missing. head.
Directly changing the flow to Fang Baishi is the same as being exiled. This doesn’t sound good.
The ancestral tombs built were also damaged.
Therefore, what Li Chaoren thinks is that if I am buried on the moon, there is no way you can dig me out, right?
So Guangjia Aerospace gave me a quotation, and they agreed without hesitation.
Guangjia Aerospace even felt that the quote was too cheap.
For this kind of monopoly business, the price can be quoted higher. In essence, this kind of ultra-high premium service industry business has not been done much, and there is not enough awareness.
If the capitalists in Xiangjiang were to run this project, they could charge you US$1 billion.
For a very simple reason, Amerikan can only send the ashes to the moon, but Light Armor Aerospace can bury them and erect a monument for you.
This is a monopoly business, a unique business.
Everyone here immediately thought that the extreme wealth gap in Xiangjiang has brought about a large number of wealthy people. It is naturally convenient for Yangcheng and Xiangjiang to connect this type of service industry.
They could immediately understand why Chen Yuanguang was willing to put this business in Yangcheng, not only to repay his hometown, but also to consider the geographical location of Yangcheng.
“We will definitely study it carefully, and at least we will issue relevant regulations at the municipal level to rationalize and comply with this business.
In addition, in terms of public opinion, this is not something we can control at this level, but we will definitely respond upward and strive to loosen the restrictions on the high-end service industry at the level of public opinion. ”
This meal was a feast for both the host and the guest.
If it were someone else, they said they wanted to engage in space funerals, which cost tens of billions of dollars a year, and they were playing chess downstairs in your community.
But if Chen Yuanguang said this, they would believe it. This is the credibility of Guangshen.
Real bosses don’t need to show off their wealth to show their credibility. To endorse, just your name is enough.
History will naturally support him.
Yangcheng is very happy. It is equivalent to picking up an industry for free, with tens of billions of dollars. When converted into tax revenue, based on the average corporate tax rate of 12.47%, it is 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.
Even for Yangcheng, it is a considerable source of wealth. And in the foreseeable future, this is a long-term business, the world is in turmoil, and the gap between rich and poor will become wider and wider.
The more mature the lunar funeral becomes, the greater the proportion of wealthy people who will accept this approach, and the entire market will only get bigger and bigger.
"Brother, I'm sorry to bother you to go all the way." In the specially rented reception room, Chen Yuanguang met Lei Jun who had come from Yanjing to express his condolences.
There were too many people coming, and Chen Yuanguang saw too many people. Regardless of being a long-term partner, Chen Yuanguang still set aside time to meet Lei Jun.
"It's just a small matter. When do you plan to bury it? I can arrange the time." Lei Jun said.
Generally according to the customs in Yangcheng, the body will be buried after three days.
Chen Yuanguang said: "When he is buried next year, I plan to launch the old man to the moon and build a tomb for him on the moon."
In the end, after discussion, the elders of the Chen family felt that this was Chen Yuanguang's filial piety, so they all agreed.
But there is only one requirement, that is, after his grandfather goes up and his grandmother passes away, they must be buried together.
Chen Yuanguang naturally agreed very simply. This was completely controllable to him.
In the future, there will definitely be some wealthy couples who have a good relationship and want to be buried together after death. Whether this can be done is a completely different concept for them.
This is also an effective marketing strategy to attract the wealthy people of Dongda University. After the death of the couple, they reunite in the moon palace. This is what the old and middle-aged people do.
No matter how rich you are, you can't become immortals, but you can at least be buried together as a couple on the moon and look at the earth from a distance.
This is not a kind of Chinese romance.
After Chen Yuanguang gave a general introduction, Lei Jun applauded and said: "I have thought before about where I want to be buried after I die, whether to scatter to the sea or bury back to my hometown.
Junior brother, you are It gives me a new choice.
After I retire, I will seriously consider it and maybe support your business.”
Lei Jun can definitely afford this money. As a founder, he also has this motivation.
"When the time comes, I will help you promote Pony. He has always been interested in space. I think he will be tempted by this service."
Seeing that Lei Jun is so generous, he is even willing to be a Chen Yuanguang, the salesman of the Lunar Cemetery, took advantage of the situation and asked: "Thank you, brother.
How is your recent chip design company doing?"
Lei Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Each company Everyone has their own little ideas, and it is difficult to have a plan that is acceptable to all parties
Whether it is Xiaomi or several other mobile phone manufacturers, money is not an issue. Everyone is thinking about how to have more say in this new company.
The right to speak is the key.
It’s a simple truth. Currently, Dongda Pure’s self-developed chip manufacturing process is 3nm, and the manufacturing process of topological semi-metallic chips is 7nm.
But this 7nm can compete with silicon-based 1nm or less. ”
Because silicon-based chips have not yet been manufactured to 1nm, it is difficult to estimate the equivalent value.
But it is definitely stronger than silicon-based 2nm, because after Huawei’s topological semi-metallic 7nm chip was launched, it was repeatedly tested by domestic and foreign technology media against Apple’s latest 2nm mobile phone chip.
Almost all-round testing.
Whether it is the Tokyo University media or the foreign media, they all want one thing, and that is to prove that Apple’s chips are still the most powerful smartphone chips in the world.
Starting from the A7 chip of the iPhone 5s, iPhone chips have firmly occupied the throne of the most advanced smartphone chips on the planet at the same time for more than ten years.
And this throne was finally knocked down by Huawei.
The foreign media, especially the old American media, are so anxious that even if the iPhone's chip is slightly better than the Ark, they have to point it out.
As for why the Lao and Chinese media also hope that the iPhone can be better than Huawei’s chips, no one knows.
In short, after various people have taken turns to verify and various test plans have been implemented, there are only a few places where Apple's chips are better than Huawei's chips. The only things to be proud of are the weight and area.
After all, topological semi-metal improves performance by stacking the number of 7nm transistors, so the area cannot be small.
The media in Laos and the United States were too embarrassed to announce Apple’s victory, but the media in Laos and China were embarrassed and came up with a strange angle to promote Apple’s victory.
This is the power of inertia. After the White House was replaced, marketing expenses were cut off, and the Lao and Chinese media even brought their own dry food to help Lao and the United States clean up.
“So in the future this company will definitely produce the most advanced smartphone chips on the market.
And with the combined efforts of so many of our companies, we will definitely be able to compete with Huawei’s HiSilicon Qilin. "Lei Jun is very confident.
“One question that easily comes to mind is, who will be the first launcher then?
Among our four smartphone manufacturers, who will be the first launcher?
High-end production capacity is generally very limited at the beginning and needs to go through a stage of ramping up production capacity. Who has more supply in the early stage and who has less?
There are too many interests to be divided, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
In addition, they also want to bring in some new energy vehicle companies.
On-board chips for new energy vehicles are a blue ocean, and it will also be an obvious incremental market in the future. They want to get it right at once, and simply bring in new energy vehicle companies and let us share resources together.
In the future, this company will also make automotive chips for use by these new energy vehicle companies.
Like NIO, don’t they also make mobile phones? Buy a car and get a free mobile phone called NIOPhone.
They not only make mobile phones, they also develop their own chips, and their chip research and development capabilities are also good. The 5nm AI self-driving chips they make are manufactured by TSMC.
They stopped it this time too.
The talents, technical reserves and resources of enterprises like this are also what we need.
Then the problem comes again. If new energy car companies are also called, the number of interested parties will be even more. It is not appropriate to negotiate now. If there are more interested parties, why not discuss it?
Furthermore, we are already looking for new energy car companies, so do we need to recruit Huawei?
When we had the meeting, they were all teasing us. We called in new energy car companies, but Huawei was not included. This company might as well be called the Anti-Huawei Alliance.
Huawei happens to have direct conflicts of interest with various shareholders in the fields of smartphones and new energy vehicles. "
After Lei Jun finished speaking, Chen Yuanguang looked at him suspiciously.
Are they teasing you or are you teasing me?
"It is indeed complicated, but it is not without solutions."
