Chapter 201 I find you to be a rather amazing person

At 10 a.m., Wang Chengguang met a leader from Zhengzhou in the elevator room of Xinghuo headquarters. He extended his hand and smiled brightly, "I was just announced as the fourth richest person by Forbes. At this stage, it's too easy for me to cause congestion when I go out."

A certain leader also smiled brightly, "Mr. Wang, you are too modest. I came here rashly."

For entrepreneurs of Wang Chengguang's level, it is normal to have bigwigs from China visit their companies and take photos with them.

If Wang Chengguang went to a province openly for official business, such as going home, he would be welcomed by provincial leaders, who all understood these things.

The two sides went to the president's office and talked about business. Wang Chengguang got straight to the point, "I invested in mobile phone manufacturing and talked to President Lei many times. They are setting up a team of engineers and technicians."

"In the early stage, everything from chips to screens, circuit boards, lenses, cameras, heat dissipation, acoustic components, etc. had to be imported from abroad. Our phones were similar to the Meizu M8, so we acted as a middleman to assemble the products and sell them to the outside world."

"But since I'm involved in mobile phone manufacturing, I have my own ideas. Now I can buy batteries from BYD, and in the future I can also buy mobile phone screens from BOE. These are all domestic brands in our mainland."

"We can also set up a large team in our hometown to produce our own panels, phone cases, heat sinks, acoustic components, etc., not to mention chargers and earphones. One year is not enough. If we can achieve self-production and self-supply in five to ten years, that would be great."

In the era of smartphones, in addition to Huawei, which has been working hard on chip research and development and was suppressed and banned by the United States ten years later, BOE is actually also good in terms of screens.

BOE itself supplies mobile phone screens for Huawei and some Apple phones.

The reason why BYD's Wang can sit on the throne of the richest man this year is not just because BYD has cars. BYD has taken off with the help of various battery businesses.

From mobile phones and computer batteries to electric cars and electric vehicles, he is a battery empire.

A certain leader was ecstatic when he heard this, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, as long as you are willing to return to Zhengzhou to invest and develop, our treatment in all aspects will definitely be better than Meizu's."

To put it bluntly, Meizu is just a foundry.

Wang Chengguang wants to produce his own panels, mobile phone cases, heat sinks, chargers, earphones and other parts and components, which will bring about a large number of factories and job opportunities.

For Henan, a traditional agricultural province...what a huge surprise!

A certain leader waved his hand, and his secretary brought a map of Zhengzhou City. "No matter where Mr. Wang wants to build a factory, we will cooperate with multiple departments in all aspects. We have the land and factory buildings, including the branch building. It's just that Mr. Wang likes to exercise and doesn't want to be disturbed on a daily basis."

"You can also go back to your hometown and build a home similar to the villa in Beijing, and go back more often when you have time."

Even though the real estate market has emerged from the cold winter and taken off, with all kinds of houses increasing in price by several thousand yuan per square meter in just one year, it is all for this high-tech manufacturing kingdom.

The price of land and other things is very easy to talk about.

Wang Chengguang, “…”

He can only say that the standard is "definitely better than Meizu", which is really worth a try. He knows exactly what kind of treatment Foxconn gave him.

Foxconn is only a contract manufacturer and is not responsible for any self-research and development.

This first meeting went very smoothly, and at noon he invited a leader to have lunch at the China Hotel next door.

After returning to the office in the afternoon, Wang Chengguang thought about it and said to Gu Jingjing, "I have already posted on Weibo that I will invest in mobile phone manufacturing for more than half a month. It is time to expand the team. The first round of funding is 1 million RMB. I will start by setting up R&D teams in various universities."

"Compared to the various parts and components imported from all over the world for Meizu M8, we started with the simplest research and development."

Gu Jingjing asked curiously, "Which one is the easiest?"

Wang Chengguang was speechless. "I don't know either. Let the expert group hold a meeting to discuss it."

Initially, he thought that he could take a sum of money, invest it in Xiaomi and become a 30% major shareholder, let Lei Jun take the lead as CEO, and just watch the other party develop without interfering too much.

But after six months of multiple communications, Lei Jun decided that he would not pursue self-development for the next one or two years. He also learned from Meizu and purchased products from all over the world, and even wanted to hand over the production factory...

This is the fastest and most efficient way!
After this deal, Wang Chengguang will increase his investment and take more shares in the mobile phone manufacturing field. Originally, Lei Jun led the creation of Xiaomi, and 9000 million US dollars was everything for Xiaomi's rise.

As long as he invests more now, his equity ratio will definitely be more than 50%. It all depends on how much Lei Jun invests.

It has developed to this point. The future mobile phone brand should continue to be called Spark. He gave Lei Jun a chance, but he didn't seize it.

However, Lei Jun is 40 years old this year, and he does not have the stable mentality of Wang Chengguang, who is 24 years old, when starting a new business. He can wait for five to ten years to achieve self-production and self-ownership, but Lei Jun does not have the freedom at this age.

That’s why Xiaomi exploded so quickly.

We decided to develop mobile phones in early 10 and launched them on the market in 11.

Starting a business at 20 and starting a business at 40 are really two different mentalities and two different lives.

Huawei, BOE and BYD are leading the R&D and manufacturing of chips, screens and batteries. Those in Henan Province should start with the best ones for now.

Putting aside the overall structure of the phone, the external charger should be the easiest to conquer.

Any number of science and craft experts can DIY it themselves.

It is the metal shell of the mobile phone shell, which is not difficult to manufacture with high technology. The overall self-research and development department is still located in Beijing, so it is easy to recruit talents from various universities. Once a part is mastered and the self-production capacity is achieved, we will go to Zhengzhou to open a factory for assembly line manufacturing.

In the future, this will mean a large number of companies, whether they are producing chargers, mobile phone cases, or small parts such as motherboards, small boards, transmitters, speakers, receivers, etc.

Who doesn't have a professional factory?
After Wang Chengguang took a sip of tea, he said, "Our mainland enterprise, BOE, is also worth investing in. It only has a market value of 400 billion now, and there is a great hope that it will reach 2000 billion in the future."

For several years, the profit increased several times...

There is no need for their whole family to buy this, but it is still a good return on investment for ordinary people.

Gu Jingjing was stunned for a few seconds, then asked curiously, "Then I should post on Weibo and ask netizens to buy it?"

Wang Chengguang shook his head hastily, "No, it will still be at a low point for a few years, falling back to 200 billion. I mean in the long term. At this stage, there is still a technological gap for BOE to supply mobile phone screens to Meizu M8 or Spark phones. It will only explode when they develop high-quality screens in the future."

The next few days.

He talked with Lei Jun, and in the end Lei Jun was able to raise 9000 million US dollars. It was not just his share. Wang Chengguang raised the whole amount of 1.5 million US dollars.

The newly established Xinghuo Mobile Phone has its headquarters in Beijing. Lao Lei rented two floors of the China World Trade Center. Wang Chengguang holds 62.5% of the shares, and Lao Lei and his friends hold 37.5%.

The first generation of Spark mobile phones purchased parts and components from all over the world, and Lei Jun led the research and development of mobile phone systems...

Of course, if it is self-developed, we must still learn from external sources.

………………December 12th, Sunday.

In the morning, Yang Tao came to Wang's house under the pretext of looking for Wu Xiaowei to play, and was soon dragged to the bathroom by Wang Chengguang.

The temperature is quite low at this time of day, and all kinds of bathhouse businesses are booming in winter.

It's afternoon.

Yang Tao couldn't help but complain, "I originally said that my cousin was pregnant, and my mom was so happy. I think in a year or two, I should be able to relax and not be urged to get married."

Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Then I am celebrating for you, right?"

The meaning of life is to exercise more.

Yang Tao rolled her eyes. "I heard that the total number of users of Xinghuo Payment has exceeded 2 million? Last month, it achieved a transaction volume of 200 billion? This is too much. Does it mean it has dominated the market?"

Wang Chengguang smiled and nodded, "Xinghuo Payment and Tenpay have nearly 3 million users combined, which means Fubao is basically ruined..."

It’s not that Jack didn’t work hard, but he has been the third or fourth position for more than half a year, and the Colts are still waving checks and digging, and several teams are almost hollowed out.

When doing business, Wang Chengguang doesn't like the artificial Double Eleven and Double Twelve shopping festivals like Jack Ma, so he doesn't hype them up much.

However, he will still promote serious Christmas and New Year's Day shopping. On December 12 and January 25, Xinghuo platform, Penguin Paipai and JD.com will have comprehensive discounts, and the discounted products pushed to consumers are already creating hype.

This not only attracted more new users for Xinghuo Payment, officially breaking through the 2 million mark, but the number of mobile payment users on the mobile side is also approaching tens of millions.

Since the development of Xinghuo WeChat, there have been 7000 million total registrations and over 1000 million active users. Since it was promoted by people nearby, the number of active users on WeChat is really large.

In the era of traditional PC-based online dating...if you wanted to meet someone in person online, you might have to travel thousands of miles by plane or train.

Once people nearby are introduced, online dating or something like that, it is very likely that they are only one kilometer away.

Even if ICBC was not in a hurry and had already signed the first priority financing agreement, there were still too many people outside of ICBC who often asked Wang Chengguang to meet and have dinner with them, as they were thinking about raising too much capital.

He is much more popular now than when Xinghuo Weibo first became popular. He just needs to pick and choose, see how powerful each circle of friends is, and choose the best from the best.

When Wang Chengguang shook hands and chatted happily again, Da Taozi looked at him with a look that made her feel both amused and proud.

Wang Chengguang, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hall, (271/10000).

He has really entered the hall of fame, reaching the level of a national master in the medical field. With this level combined with his godly cooking skills, he can only say that he has the opportunity to try to cure cancer in private.

………………

At 6pm, Wang Chengguang saw Xiao Ma at the gate and asked curiously, "Why are you here at this time?"

Pony smiled brightly, "Why, after working for you for so long, I can't come over and get a meal?"

Xiao Ma handed over a cigarette before getting straight to the point, "I want to invest in Spark Mobile personally, and I want to buy your 12.5% ​​for million US dollars."

Wang Chengguang, “…”

On the way to take Xiao Ma Ge to the pavilion in the garden, he said with a smile, "Everything is just beginning. I only took out 1.5 million US dollars last month, which accounts for 62.5%."

Ma was also very direct, "I find you to be quite amazing. You have hardly ever failed in anything you invest in. I have worked for you for so long, and I want to take advantage of you. Otherwise, my mentality will be easily unbalanced. Lei Jun's 9000 million accounts for 37.5%."

"I only want 12.5% ​​of my million. It seems like I'm paying a big premium, but the business prospects you two can promote far outweigh this premium."

"After I become a shareholder, I won't be involved in anything. I'll just watch your development and wait to see how much you can earn after the listing in the future. However, if you need to contact and look for technology R&D personnel, teams, etc., I can help you make the connections."

"Take me with you. Big Penguin's social communication, games, Paipai, etc. can all be transformed into promotional and retail channels. If you want to open a retail store in the future, I will take care of it in Yuedong."

Wang Chengguang nodded as he walked, "The power that your platform can exert is actually far more important than 100 million US dollars."

After making a cup of tea in the pavilion and chatting for a few minutes, he shook hands with Xiao Ma Ge again and welcomed him to join.

As for why the investment of Xinghuo Mobile is calculated in US dollars... because except for the assembly in Zhengzhou, the first part of the parts and components are basically all imported from Europe, America and South Korea.

Xiao Ma Ge laughed after shaking hands, "I was just here to eat for free. Now that this matter is settled, my appetite has improved. I can't just let you take advantage of me."

Wang Chengguang thought about it and specially made a cup of wolfberry tea for Xiao Ma Ge.

After being silent for dozens of seconds, Xiao Ma grabbed the teacup and drank water. "Your Minecraft game has received high praise and good reputation. In addition to your Spark Weibo Game Center, do you want to transplant it into Penguin Space as well?"

"I heard that it has sold more than 100 million copies in Europe, America, and Korea? The Harbour City has also sold more than copies..."

Minecraft sold 8 copies in August, and the sales volume was naturally higher in the following months, with total sales easily exceeding one million by December.

The mainland online version was launched in September. In the Spark Game Center, you can choose to download the PC client for free, a single mode, and a network mode similar to Fantasy Westward Journey and DNF.

However, the degree of freedom in the network mode is definitely not as high as that in the stand-alone mode.

But this free download also has prerequisites, such as how much time a user has spent in the Spark Game Center...whether it is playing Plants vs. Zombies, Happy Farm or simply leaving the computer on.

After accumulating a certain amount of time, you can download Minecraft.

Similar to the Big Penguin, it can refresh levels such as stars, moons, and suns.

Even so, after entering December, not only has the client download volume exceeded 12 million, but the Minecraft forum has hundreds of thousands of registered users.

The Xinghuo Weibo Game Center and Tieba have become the two largest interactive communities for this game.

Making money by selling various things on the online version is far less intuitive and clear than selling millions of copies in Europe and the United States, which is equivalent to more than 10 million US dollars in sales.

But this "free" game, which can be downloaded and played for a certain period of time, is of great help to the entire Spark Game Center.

Whether it is the number of active users of web games or casual games, or the monthly revenue, they have all increased dramatically.

The actual profit that skyrocketed is much greater than the more than 1000 million US dollars sold in Europe and the United States. After all, this more than 1000 million US dollars still needs to be taxed and shared with the Steam platform.

Wang Chengguang refused with a smile, "You already have DNF and Happy Farm and you still want to take advantage of me? No way."
