Chapter 483 Then Let’s Be More Conservative!
The Forbes Rich List is a list compiled by the financial magazine Forbes, which updates the ranking of the world's richest people every year.
The "Forbes Rich List" is also known as the billionaire club. Those who can be on the list are rich people with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars. Anyone who is on the list can be called a 'billionaire'.
The "Forbes China Rich List" is a list customized by "Forbes" for China, which expands the scope of rich people. Those with assets exceeding US$100 million may be on the list.
In the newly announced "Forbes China Rich List", Zhao Yi debuted at No. 425, basically at the end of the list, but his inclusion on the list has become the focus of public opinion, even higher than the top three on the list. There is more discussion.
Zhao Yi has always been a focal figure. He is the most famous scholar in China and even the world. He is recognized as the number one mathematician in the world. He has also made a large number of research and development contributions in other fields.
Such a young genius scholar actually made it onto the Forbes list and became one of the top richest people in the country?
Many people feel that their perceptions have been subverted.
Pay careful attention to the Forbes list, which lists Zhao Yi’s main sources of asset income——
Scientific research and investment!
Zhao Yi is also a rich man on the list whose only source of income is "scientific research".
The Internet is full of hot discussions——
"Awesome! Relying on scientific research to get into the rich list, Zhao Dashen is really awesome!"
"The teacher told me that doing scientific research is about making contributions. Now I know that doing scientific research is the only way to make money!"
"Don't always focus on scientific research. Master Zhao has a very good investment vision. Take a look at Yutu Robot!"
"Look at Hongfeng Industry again!"
"By the way, the fact that Master Zhao is on the list must have a lot to do with Yutu Robot, right?"
This is certainly true, but it is not comprehensive.
Forbes' property data sources are public information and data from professional appraisal companies.
The wealth data of listed companies can be easily calculated by multiplying the total market value of the company by the proportion of equity held. Some companies are not listed, so statistics rely on professional evaluation of the company.
In the past few months and a year, Yutu Robot Company has developed rapidly. Relying on the completed robot operating system and the intelligent technology developed on this basis, Yutu Robot has rapidly expanded the scale of its enterprise customer base.
Their corporate clients include many large enterprises and listed companies.
In addition, Yutu Robot has also made great progress in cooperative research and development. They have reached cooperation with large technology companies to jointly develop voice interaction systems suitable for mobile phones, computers, vehicles and other fields. There are also giants in the automotive field and Yutu Robotics companies team up to develop self-driving technology.
Intelligent technology research and development cooperation in multiple fields is more favored by investors and the market.
Although it has not yet truly achieved large-scale profitability, the future of Yutu Robot is widely optimistic, and professional evaluation companies are constantly increasing their assessment of the value of Yutu Robot.
This is still not on the market.
Yutu Robot continues to spread good news, and the company is widely favored by the market. If they can successfully go public, their stocks will definitely be popular on a large scale. Some professionals believe, "If Yutu can be listed, the market value will easily increase by more than three times." .”
Although the market is generally optimistic about Yutu Robot, it is unlikely that Yutu Robot will be listed in a short time. If the company has not achieved stable profitability, it will not meet the listing requirements domestically. It will also have to go through multiple reviews abroad. It does not have a main core income business. case, it is unlikely to be approved.
Zhao Yi's rise to the rich list is related to the development of Yutu Robot, but the expansion of his assets to more than 400 million US dollars is not entirely due to Yutu Robot, but also to Xingyi Investment Company and Hongfeng Industry.
Hongfeng Industrial's stock is only a small part, and the larger part is Star Investment Company.
Xingyi Investment Company is just a name. In fact, it is a company controlled by Zhao Yi personally. It just keeps buying stocks in country M and sells them very rarely. However, because the stocks purchased by the company all have huge With the degree of growth, the company's stock assets held by the company have also increased, and now it has exceeded 150 million US dollars.
Yutu Robot and Xingyi Investment Company have a total asset value of more than 400 million US dollars.
Hongfeng Industrial's stock is just a fraction.
When the discussion raged on the Internet, Zhao Yi felt a sense of crisis. Forbes' assessment of his assets was inaccurate. For example, he still had more than 100 million yuan in his bank account. Star Investment Company There is also more than $40 million in working capital.
However, when part of his assets were revealed, he felt somewhat depressed.
He is not the kind of pure businessman who can rely on the Forbes list to increase his fame. Instead, he feels that he is an ordinary person and a small citizen, and it would be uncomfortable if the money in his hands is announced.
"Damn Mr. M!"
"What kind of rich list is there? Even if you know, there's no need to publish it! It's too shady to rely on surveys to make money from publishing magazines!"
"Now, we all know."
Zhao Yi's worries were not unfounded. After the Forbes list was announced, a lot of acquaintances called immediately, saying congratulations on being on the list.
Some are just out of envy and ridicule.
Some people want to come here to learn from the experience and ask how they can make so much money by investing.
There are also those who are totally shameless, saying that they don’t have enough funds for scientific research, and they want to lick their faces and ask for some funds?
"You want money? No!"
"Delete each other's address books, don't contact us again!"
"If we are friends, don't talk about money. Talking about money will hurt your feelings! I earned all my money with my hard work!"
Among them, Lin Xiaoqing was concerned about herself and said that she must pay attention to safety when going out in the near future. By the way, she agreed to come here for a get-together on the weekend.
Hangout……
Ahem, just eating, I might eat all night long.
Zhao Yicai just put down Lin Xiaoqing's phone when he received a call from his future mother-in-law. The first thing Zhao Hongjuan said was, "How did you arrange your marriage to Xiaoqing?"
"puff!"
Zhao Yi almost vomited blood after hearing this.
Although I do have plans to marry Lin Xiaoqing, I think I have to wait for her to graduate anyway, right?
The education department allows graduate students to get married and have children, but those who are actually graduate students are still in the minority.
Zhao Yi could only say, "It all depends on Xiaoqing. It all depends on Xiaoqing. I agree to it whenever she wants."
Mom and dad care about themselves.
Liu Jing specifically told him to 'hire more bodyguards', "Now that you are so rich and it is exposed, don't let anything happen to you!"
Zhao Yi said calmly, "Don't worry, society is very safe now. No matter how rich you are, you don't have to worry about going out." As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the four armed policemen following behind him, and suddenly felt relieved.
security guard?
How can there be any safety when armed police come with guns!
"It's better for the country to arrange guards for me." Zhao Yi lamented, "Just having guards around all the time is a bit too high-profile."
Facts have proved that even if you go out with guards, you may not be able to calm down. Many acquaintances joked about the list, and many reporters rushed over to interview.
Zhao Yi was originally the focus of attention. Before the popularity of the Forbes list subsided, some reporters came to interview him.
Zhao Yi met a reporter on the road. When he saw the reporter running over with a camera, he looked like he was working hard. He was too embarrassed to let the guards drive him away, so he simply accepted a quick interview.
The reporter followed Zhao Yi carrying the equipment and asked again and again, "Many people are discussing the news about Forbes. Can you say a few words about this?"
Zhao Yi sighed depressedly, "I really don't want to be on this list."
"Actually, I am just a common man, doing scientific research and contributing to the country, just like ordinary people."
"I spend most of my time doing scientific research and have never seriously thought about how to make money, because money is not that important to me. So I personally feel... I am a bit unfair to be on the list!"
This is Zhao Yi's heartfelt emotion.
The reporters simply stopped when they heard this. They just watched Zhao Yi walk away from them and had no intention of continuing to ask questions.
“Never thought about how to make money?”
"Then... you were on the Forbes rich list?" He thought confusedly, "Why do I think about how to make money all day long, and now I'm still just an errand boy?"
When the interview content was released, it once again aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
If someone else had said, "I've never thought about how to make money," they would have been considered "pretending," but Zhao Yi was stating the facts because everyone knew that Zhao Yi was really doing it most of the time. Academic and scientific research, otherwise there will not be so many results.
The results of it?
Geniuses who focus on academics and scientific research make simple investments and get on the Forbes list of China's richest people, while most people who only want to make money...
Ahem.
I feel like I want to die!
…
After being listed on the "Forbes China Rich List", Zhao Yi received a lot of harassment. Many people around him joked about "money", which made his ears feel a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to yell loudly--
"I don't care about money!"
But it didn't work.
Zhao Yi simply decided to leave the university early and go to a factory in the north of the capital to debug the WZ-A1 prototype.
The components of the WZ-A1 prototype were not sent to Yanhua University. The power laboratory is just a design laboratory. It is not suitable to do debugging work in the university. Too much power consumption and too much noise are problems, and there is no way to maintain confidentiality. Guarantee, affecting students’ study and life is a big problem, so the main components of the prototype are transported to the northern factory. As long as some components with high technical content and simple debugging can be transported to the power engineering laboratory in the early stage, almost all of them have been shipped to the power engineering laboratory by now. transfer.
When the components of the prototype are shipped to the factory, the first step is component testing.
For example, the combustion chamber.
The test needs to simulate the internal temperature of the engine and the high-pressure air flow to allow the combustion chamber to fully exert its performance and verify the status data of the combustion chamber operation.
These are the most basic tests.
No matter how you simulate the engine environment, it is definitely not as good as the internal environment. For example, fan blades, turbine blades, supercharger blades, etc., can only perform simple strength and rotation tests, and cannot obtain data on the internal working of the engine.
Therefore, it is still necessary to assemble the prototype and let it actually operate in order to determine the working performance of each component and identify possible problems.
Zhao Yi came at just the right time.
The original plan was to go a week later, when the prototype would have been assembled, but the atmosphere at the university was not very good, and acquaintances kept coming over to make fun of him, so he simply went there in advance.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the northern factory, the WZ-A1 prototype was almost assembled, with only some peripheral circuits not installed.
Zhao Yi was concerned about the assembly of the prototype, and then got into work, checking the data of each component sent, and gaining a more detailed understanding of the parameters of the manufactured components, which would also be helpful for formal debugging later.
Since the official production of the WZ-A1 prototype, Yuan Haitao has spent most of his time at the factory. Every shipped component will be tested. He has a very good understanding of the performance and condition of the components. In addition, his team is responsible for Kunlun 2. Prototype, also has extensive experience.
Zhao Yi and Yuan Haitao learned about the transportation and testing of parts, and also asked about the debugging and operation processes and the status of the attached parts.
Yuan Haitao explained in great detail and he is looking forward to the debugging work.
Now his position is higher than before. He is the person in charge of prototype assembly, maintenance, and debugging. He is the "second person" in the War Eagle engine unit. When placed in the Kunlun engine unit, his position is only lower than Zhang Gangchuan's.
Zhao Yi focuses on the core issues during the debugging process, and delegates other tasks to others.
Yuan Haitao has become more important.
However, Yuan Haitao is looking forward to debugging work. The position issue is only one aspect. More importantly, he feels that there is a future in working with Zhao Yi, rather than being in the Kunlun engine unit, responsible for the No. 2 prototype test and doing a lot of data analysis. Maintenance with no hope of perfecting the engine.
After Yuan Haitao reported on the relevant work, he also asked about matters of concern in a casual conversation, "Academician Zhao..."
"What's wrong?"
"How long do you think (the debugging work) will last? Until it is loaded onto the fighter jet..."
Yuan Haitao refers to the time it takes from the completion of the prototype assembly to the completion of the first phase of debugging and loading onto the fighter jet for flight testing.
Zhao Yi asked doubtfully, "Fighter? The War Eagle-1 hasn't been built yet?"
"I'm talking about the initial test flight." Yuan Haitao explained. He was talking about the flight test of the engine. The aviation group has some twin-engine fighters specially used for experiments. Imported engines will also be put on the aircraft for performance testing, because they are twin-engine fighters. If a fighter aircraft is launched (two engines), even if there is a problem with the engine being tested, it will not cause much danger.
Zhao Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "You mean, the prototype is running normally and major faults are eliminated... This should be very fast, right?"
He thought again and gave a conservative number, "One month?"
"One month??"
"Is it very long? Otherwise, three weeks?"
Yuan Haitao was silent for a long time and then asked, "Academician Zhao, do you know how long it took the Kunlun engine to reach this point?"
"how long?"
"One year and eleven months, almost two years!"
"Oh~~~"
Zhao Yi felt confident and nodded calmly, "Okay, let's be more conservative and add one week to five weeks. This is our work goal at this stage."
