Chapter 332 Global Influence

The family hasn't had a quiet meal together for a while.

Usually, they have a nanny to serve them, so why would he need to cook for them himself!

The taste is definitely not as good as the two top chefs at home, but the big-butt kid Chen Anan eats it very happily.

The dumplings are so delicious when they are bitten, and paired with a big chicken leg, he has to finish two bowls of egg fried rice.

"Dad, many people are asking online, will you hold another free concert this year?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "Let's do it, but this year's event may be a little bigger. I'll talk to Bai Xin later and ask her to arrange a New Year's Eve concert in each of the four super first-tier cities."

"Won't that cost a lot of money?"

"It's okay. This year, we don't have to spend much money to invite celebrities from the entertainment industry. It's just some venue fees and facility fees."

Chen Pingsheng always patiently explains these things to the big kid, "Last year, your dad caused some people's dissatisfaction. This concert should be as big as possible. After all, many people still like this kind of formalism. The news reports also show a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity. Isn't that great!"

Chen Anan is only nine years old, and she doesn't understand these things very well.

When domestic enterprises should forge ahead bravely, they must rush forward desperately.

When they should flatter, they must also try their best to satisfy some people.

In short, there must be a basis for advance and retreat.

"Honey, how much do you want to spend?"

"Take out 200 million and hold it for three consecutive days in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

Chen Pingsheng easily decided on a super entertainment concert that was of great significance to ordinary people.

In the past, their family had to negotiate various conditions to invite the Four Heavenly Kings. Now, if they invite the Four Heavenly Kings again, they have to arrange a schedule even if they don't have time.

Who said he is already the first capitalist in the entertainment industry in name only.

The Xiang family, the old entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong, is just a younger brother in front of him.

This is the benefit of having more influence. All stars will deliberately act like a good person in front of him.

Song Yanxi secretly allocated another 200 million yuan from the family's money.

When she put down her chopsticks, Chen Pingsheng had almost finished eating.

In addition to the Huayi matter, there is another matter to be dealt with.

That is, Snack Fast Run is going to arrange a listing plan. He still has 42% of the shares in Snack Fast Run.

Opening 10,000 snack specialty stores from zero in one year fully demonstrates their family's absolute influence in the traditional business field.

Especially this kind of retail franchise store, as long as the business model is fine, it will run very fast.

Facts have proved that snack specialty stores are still a very good business.

The profit or market space is much larger than that of Bobo Milk Tea.

When others just reacted and prepared to copy and imitate, their family could already apply for listing.

It’s just that whether to list on the Hong Kong stock market or apply in the mainland.

He still needs to discuss with Tong Zelan and others first. In the afternoon, Tong Zelan came to him.

Direct operation includes franchising, 10,000 snack specialty stores.

This valuation is at least as high as 10 billion, and Tong Zelan’s suggestion is to go for Hong Kong stocks.

The main reason is that they have absolute securities resources there, and many people are willing to underwrite their shares.

IPO financing is naturally easier.

When the IPO really comes, it also means that many people can achieve financial freedom.

For Chen Pingsheng himself, he can also reap a very high income.

It depends on the multiples of the random increase.

The current model of Snack Fast Run is not just a retail store. It has also invested 1.5 billion in traditional snack factories, as well as mineral water, ice cream, and major snack sectors.

There are more than 50 snack factories that have invested in it.

When Snack Fast Run goes public, the influence of offline channels will be further expanded.

With such a large offline channel, a large number of traditional snack factories will inevitably rise.

There will definitely be several listed companies among them.

Under the impact of the Internet in recent years, the traditional retail industry has been getting worse day by day.

Chen Pingsheng thinks that as long as customers can have a good shopping experience and transparent prices.

Traditional retail may not necessarily be inferior to the Internet.

Snack Fast Run is the first internal super entrepreneurial project incubated by him.

There will definitely be more in the future, just wait and see.

The IPO was handed over to Tong Zelan, and Chen Pingsheng himself was thinking about the future direction of the company at home.

For now, their family's position in the entertainment industry is still stable.

The traditional business sector has also grown bigger and bigger.

Live streaming, Internet celebrity economy, short drama shooting, training, investment and talent mining have formed a complete industrial chain.

He should also focus his next investment on the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing.

Since 2016, he has personally invested more than 50 billion yuan in new energy.

This includes the super factory built with 12 billion yuan and the Tengfei New Energy Ecological Industrial Park with 5 billion yuan.

There is also the Tengde Times Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Factory acquired for more than 5 billion yuan.

Later, he invested 8 billion yuan in the battery factory, mainly to increase research on the core technology of batteries and further break through the battery life problem as soon as possible.

In addition to these, he also invested nearly 10 billion yuan in AI smart driving, and jointly established eight research institutes with the motor and electronic control sector.

At present, Tengfei New Energy has a core R&D team of more than 10,000 people.

Everything is still progressing steadily.

Seriously speaking, the completion of pure electrification in the field of new energy vehicles is only the first half. The second half is likely to be competition in the field of cost and smart driving.

Chen Pingsheng went to visit his new energy vehicles one by one.

The super factory will be completed in six to eight months, and by then it will be the largest and most comprehensive new energy integrated production workshop in China.

All construction standards are based on the production workshops of foreign new energy giant Tesla.

It’s just that the investment scale is larger and the production capacity is higher.

Once this is completed, they can actually start producing new energy vehicles.

In addition to the super factory, the AI ​​driving team has spent more than 4 billion to acquire three AI technology research and development teams at home and abroad, as well as a series of basic patented technologies in the AI ​​field.

In terms of technology, because it costs a lot of money, progress is naturally rapid.

There is nothing to say about burning money.

The core of future new energy competition lies in the smart driving and battery sectors.

Chen Pingsheng allocated another 5 billion R&D funds to the AI ​​team.

As for the research and development of motor electronic control, the main thing is to increase the speed so that the car can accelerate faster and more smoothly.

This is the same function as the transmission of traditional fuel vehicles.

He has also allocated more than 5 billion to this team, most of which has been used to acquire some basic foreign patented technologies.

Based on these basic technologies, upgrades and improvements can be completed faster.

It takes too long to start from scratch, so they directly adopt the acquisition method in the basic patent sector.

There is still a certain amount of money for the motor and electronic control, so it won't be a big problem if it lasts for another three months.

As for the battery factory, it is different. The predecessor of Tengde Era is the largest lithium iron phosphate battery factory in China.

After a series of renovations, all unnecessary departments were removed.

Key technological breakthroughs have also been made in the research and development of battery core battery life.

What can be achieved now is to run 500 kilometers on a full charge. After removing some losses, it can run about 400 kilometers on a full charge.

Zhang Zhiyao, the current president of Tengde Era, is not very good at operations, but he is indeed a solid expert at technology.

After Chen Pingsheng listened to his report here for an hour, Zhang Zhiyao actually proposed to develop solid-state batteries.

So-called solid-state batteries are currently mainly used in mobile phones.

What are its benefits?

First of all, in the field of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles, solid-state batteries can achieve a high temperature of 200 degrees without catching fire.

This is very different from the current liquid battery itself.

In addition, solid-state batteries can also achieve zero loss at zero temperatures.

On the issue of battery life, it is not a problem to break through 2,000 kilometers in one step.

In terms of charging, it can achieve super fast charging, and it can be fully charged to 80% in just one meal.

There are so many benefits to revolutionary technology.

The only disadvantage is that the cost is too high and it is not yet commercially available.

For example, if an electric car is equipped with solid-state batteries, the cost of these batteries alone will be as high as 4 million.

Who can afford this?

Zhang Zhiyao’s idea of ​​developing solid-state batteries mainly represents the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever in China can be the first to develop a solid-state battery can completely reduce its cost.

Whoever will become the well-deserved number one overlord in this industry.

This is no exaggeration.

The research and development of solid-state batteries for new energy vehicles is absolutely the same as the birth of iPhone4.

It will directly change the entire industry, and the impact is so great.

Chen Pingsheng was very moved after hearing this, and then calmed down.

Any breakthrough in revolutionary technology is accompanied by huge R&D funds and a R&D time of at least five to ten years.

Zhang Zhiyao proposed that this research and development direction is naturally very simple, but he wants to make it happen.

There is no doubt that it is difficult to reach the sky.

A conservative estimate is that R&D funds of RMB 8 to 10 billion are consumed every year.

Developing solid-state batteries is one aspect, and lithium iron phosphate cannot be given up either.

Adding both sides together, it is conservatively estimated that he invests 15 billion in R&D funds for battery projects every year.

Lithium iron phosphate is okay, you can see the results quickly if you put it in.

Solid-state batteries will have to survive for at least five years.

This means that the initial investment will be 40 billion.

Don't say he was hesitant for a moment, it would be like this for anyone else.

Because no one can guarantee success.

There is no guarantee of even one tenth, so you have to spend more than 40 billion to bet on this tiny opportunity.

This is not a suitable business investment by any means.

After much thought, Chen Pingsheng decided to do this.

If he didn't invest this money, he would definitely have no problem becoming one of the top three new energy companies in the country.

After all, his current investment is already the highest in the country.

After everything is built, it will be difficult for those who build cars on the Internet to compare with him.

Investing this money is simply betting on a world-class opportunity.

If it doesn't even have a revolutionary technology, why would Ascendas Motors have a global presence?

Just being the king in the country is not valuable enough.

It doesn't mean much to him anyway. After all, he is already so rich. It's just about becoming richer.

He simply cannot achieve the global influence he wants.

As a result, the financial pressure is relatively high, and he has invested in projects one after another.

There are already too many. Whether it is Tengnong breeding or new energy, they are all big money makers.

Just the hard investment in the early stage can be rewarded in the later stage.

Even if he has to hold on for three years, he will support Tengfei New Energy Vehicle.

You should know that automobiles have been the world's largest industry since ancient times.

In Xiaori, the automobile industry accounts for 40% of the country's total industrial output value.

In Germany, the automobile industry accounts for 50%.

It can be said that both places have defined automobiles as the largest economic pillar industry.

This proportion also fully demonstrates the importance of the automobile industry to these two countries.

Fuel vehicles are already their era, and new energy is just starting.

If he can gain a firm foothold in the future new energy vehicle market, his global influence will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary giants.

For this goal, it is nothing to work hard in the early stage.

After coming here, Chen Pingsheng once again allocated 10 billion to Tengde Times. When Zhang Zhiyao saw him off, he sighed again and again, "We really found the best boss for the battery factory!"

Silent support is the best result for technology research and development.

He himself is not good at technology, but he can invite a large number of high-tech talents to serve him.

As long as there is enough money, it's fine.

The new investment of 10 billion yuan means that Tengde Times will establish a larger-scale solid-state battery research institute based on lithium iron phosphate batteries.

And in this research institute, at least 3,000 new R&D teams will be recruited.

Starting from the basics, step by step, the difficulties of commercializing solid-state batteries for automobiles will be overcome slowly.

This is destined to be an epic challenge, which means it will take at least three to five years.

No one can tell how long it will take. Anyway, they will not release any technical news to the public before the results come out.

Because it will be meaningless.

After inspecting Tengfei New Energy, he actually invested 15 billion yuan in it.

So far, he has invested 65 billion yuan in new energy vehicle manufacturing.

The domestic new energy industry investment is far ahead, without a doubt.

This is also the most core strategic project of Tengying Group in the future.

It was not easy to make nearly 20 billion yuan through 20% of Tengying Entertainment's scattered shares, and spent all of it on the car manufacturing sector.

It's also unique.

When he returned to the Magic City, it was already the ninth day of the New Year.

The headquarters of the group gradually returned to work.

The great city of Shanghai has also begun to regain its former popularity, and it is bustling everywhere after the Chinese New Year.

Those who should go shopping go shopping, and those who should go to Huangpu River go to Huangpu River.

Every year, many tourists from other places come here to enjoy the prosperity of Shanghai, and they will sigh countless times that they can own a house in such a city.

How wonderful it would be.

Unfortunately, the starting price of housing prices in the center of Shanghai is more than 120,000 per square meter.

Those who don’t have to buy a house can naturally afford it.

And those who don’t have it by birth, that is no longer available by hard work.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, the moment when the hair turns white.

Can only stand outside the city, feeling sad.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Tengying Entertainment released its own news on the official website.

The 2017 Tengying Shengshi Concert will be held in the four super first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen at the same time.

The time is three days, and the fee is free.

The conditions for registration are very simple. Either go to Lujiao Coffee to buy a cup of New Year milk coffee.

Or go to Bobo Milk Tea to consume the first cup of milk tea in spring.

Tengying Entertainment launched such a grand performance, and naturally would not miss such a good advertising opportunity.

Especially Lujiao Coffee, which directly became the most beautiful boy in the audience.

Who said that Chen Pingsheng’s shares have not been cashed out yet?

Using the influence of this concert, he was just preparing to go abroad to complete the large-scale cashing of Lujiao Coffee.
