Chapter 383: A New Year's Visit
January 28, 2017, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Traffic in the city is much better than usual, because there are more than half fewer vehicles on the streets, and there are fewer pedestrians and so on.
Due to the Spring Festival, most of the migrant workers left the city and returned to their hometowns for the New Year, becoming a member of the Spring Festival.
Despite this, many shopping malls are still very busy, and some are even overcrowded.
Su Ming took Zheng Miaoke's little hand and walked leisurely around the Hang Lung Plaza of Ganghui City, feeling the strong New Year's atmosphere here.
A place like the supermarket is definitely the most atmospheric for the Spring Festival, because not only are there a large number of New Year's goods placed at the entrance of the supermarket, but there are also festive red colors everywhere, and even the music played is a New Year's song full of childhood memories.
I congratulate you on your fortune
I congratulate you on your wonderful
The best please come over
If it's bad, please go away
Brother Hua, who is evergreen in the entertainment industry, the song he sings to Wishing you prosperity is definitely indispensable for the New Year.
"Husband, why are you buying these? Isn't there still one at home? ”
As soon as he entered the supermarket, Zheng Miaoke pouted as Su Ming took two boxes of finely packaged cherries from the shelves.
The price of these cherries is not cheap, and the finely packaged ones are even more expensive, costing 398 yuan a box.
Ole boutique fruit is more expensive than other supermarkets, and of course the quality is better.
"Why don't you go shopping, you can't buy nothing?" Su Ming smiled, and then pushed the car forward.
I came out today, just for pure fun, and shopping for fun.
After walking around the supermarket for more than half an hour, after checking out and paying, I put my things back in the car, and then returned to the mall and went directly to the cinema.
How can you not watch a movie during the Spring Festival?
Although the movies in this year's Spring Festival file seem to be big bad movies, watching movies is just for fun.
A few years ago, the Spring Festival movie had already begun to be promoted on a large scale, and even Su Ming had heard of it more or less.
Due to the madness of last year's mermaids, this year's movie is even more exciting in terms of marketing.
Since the Spring Festival schedule has been hyped up, it has become a battlefield for major film capitals, especially this year, it has been released in a bunch.
Big directors, top stars, young actors, etc., are almost all the most popular movie regulars in recent years.
"Journey to the West: Fu Demon Chapter", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Havoc in Tianzhu", "Riding the Wind and Waves" and other four movies have been the most popular.
Needless to say, the Journey to the West chapter was already very popular four years ago, and the box office performance of 1.2 billion was also a very good existence back then.
Kung Fu Yoga is a movie of Brother Long, although Brother Long is very old, he is still the desperate boy of the year, and he does not forget his original intention.
Although Brother Long's movies have been very weak for several years, Kung Fu Yoga is a rare masterpiece and has great ambitions for the box office.
Havoc in Tianzhu is Wang Baobao's movie, a domestic comedy star, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Riding the Wind and Waves is very literary and artistic, and it is a tribute film, bringing together powerful actors such as Brother Chao and Peng Yuyan.
"Coco, which movie would you like to watch?"
Su Ming took eight tickets, two for each movie, all of which were the best positions.
The ticket was booked by Lin Huizhu earlier, because if he didn't book the ticket in advance, he couldn't grab a good position at all, and he couldn't even buy a ticket.
After all, there are too many people who come out to watch movies during the Spring Festival.
"How did you buy so many movie tickets?"
Zheng Miaoke looked at the ticket in his hand with a smile, glanced at him, and casually pointed to Brother Long's movie.
"Isn't this taking care of you, I'm afraid that you will change your attention temporarily...."Su Ming smiled and didn't explain too much.
The two waited at the door of the theater for a while, and soon it was time for the film to start, so they lined up to enter.
For the Chinese New Year, when you go out to watch a movie, there is no atmosphere for chartering or VIP, and it is far less lively than watching a movie with dozens or hundreds of people.
For example, when you see a funny scene and a bunch of people laugh together, the sense of atmosphere comes out.
Of course, if there are many people watching movies together, especially during the Spring Festival, if there are many bears and children, it is quite disturbing to cry and cry.
However, fortunately, in the IMAX hall where Su Ming and they are, there are not many children, most of them are couples, and only a few are children.
And Su Ming and the two are in the best viewing position, and the neighbors are ordinary couples, so they are very quiet.
After all, the parents of bear children are generally busy, and it is normal that they can't grab tickets for such a position.
Watching Brother Long's movie, Su Ming's thoughts fluttered.
Comedy movies, the plot doesn't need to be said, it's all about the picture and funny.
I chatted with Wu Jing for more than ten minutes last night, and I talked a lot about the movie Wolf Warrior III.
Wolf Warrior III will be released this summer, and it will be completely determined around March, and Wu Jing hopes that Su Ming can attend the premiere at that time.
After all, Su Ming invested a lot of money in this movie, and after the film was made, Wu Jing naturally hoped that he could see it for the first time.
For this invitation, Su Ming said that he was very happy, he really hadn't attended the movie premiere, and it would be good to join in the fun when the time came.
Thinking about it, suddenly he remembered the IPO of Pinduoduo again.
There is no doubt that at the shareholders' meeting after the year, Wang Zheng will definitely find ways to make small moves.
Pinduoduo is not listed in China, but in the United States, and must be backdoor.
Because Pinduoduo has only been established for more than a year, although it has been hyped by the capital market, the beautiful country has conditions for listed companies.
One of them is to apply for the company's net assets of not less than 400 million yuan, the after-tax profit in the past year is not less than 60 million yuan, and the amount of overseas financing should not be less than 50 million US dollars.
Pinduoduo meets this condition, the problem is that the backdoor listing here, the acquisition of a beautiful country company, will inevitably require capital consumption.
The market value of listed companies in the beautiful country, no matter what, two or three billion US dollars cannot run.
Therefore, if Pinduoduo wants to speed up the process, it must take a listed company in a beautiful country as quickly as possible, and then re-list it through this shell.
Compared with the listing in the A entrepreneurial technology sector of Huaguo University, it takes about one to three years even if it is a backdoor listing, and the time for a backdoor listing in the United States can generally be completed within nine months.
With Pinduoduo's current cash flow, there are three or four billion US dollars, but it is impossible to use them all to acquire this shell.
As a result, Pinduoduo will inevitably need to raise another round of financing, that is, the last financing before the IPO.
Therefore, Su Ming's guess is that at the shareholders' meeting after the year, in addition to informing the company of its upcoming IPO, new capital may also be introduced.
It is even very likely that this capital party is a person from Wang Zheng's family.
What Su Ming thought was whether it was possible to be strong, that is, purely by capital power, otherwise, it could only be swept through the secondary market.
Voting rights and control are not necessary, because Su Ming doesn't think he can run Pinduoduo well, and even if he can, he won't do it, it's too tiring.
He just needs to lie quietly and earn money.
"What do you think?"
Suddenly, Su Ming noticed that there was movement in his arm, and then he saw Zheng Miaoke looking at him angrily, looking like he was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, Coco, I was thinking about things just now, watching a movie and watching a movie....."
said apologetically, and after appeasing Zheng Miaoke, Su Ming also dropped all his thoughts and devoted himself to entertainment.
Not to mention, Brother Long's movies are just interesting.
Although many of the plots are old-fashioned and vulgar, everyone just likes it. Judging from the laughter of the audience from time to time, this movie is not bad.
The two-hour movie ended quickly.
The next day, Su Ming was also bombarded by entertainment news, and there were several movies about the Spring Festival file all over the world.
Even Su Ming also paid attention to the fact that there are a lot of hot news about Spring Festival movies on Douyin, and seven of the top ten hot news on the hot list are related.
Terrifying!
Even last night's Spring Festival Gala only accounted for one of them, so you can imagine how crazy these film capitalists are in order to promote the movie.
In addition, Su Ming also paid attention to Weibo, and on its hot topic list, they are also Spring Festival movies, and the attention is still very high.
The box office of several movies is very high, anyway, it is a record high, and many bloggers, film critics, media, etc. have stood up to predict how the box office of the Spring Festival stalls will be.
Originally, Su Ming wouldn't pay attention to these, but during the Chinese New Year, there were relatively few things, just chatting and having fun with his family at home, so he had time to watch the news.
What's more, Weibo has been acquired by him, and of course he has to pay attention to the development of this company.
The short video on Feixin's side is still half-dead, and Feixin's Weibo can basically be declared over, because basically no users are using it.
Play lonely!
The recent more popular Flying Merchant is extremely popular in the Feixin circle of friends, but the excessive consumption and the rise of Douyin have also made the browsing data of the circle of friends drop significantly.
I don't know if the Flying Merchant will last for a while.
In addition to paying attention to these, Su Ming paid attention to the abnormality of the bike-sharing market.
Throughout 2016, because of Su Ming's intervention, the bike-sharing market has already become popular.
But since January, there have been a lot of articles about bike sharing in many places.
The main reason is that the electronic lock is smashed, the bicycle is stolen, and then it is thrown into the garbage heap, etc., and there are too many shared bicycles piled up in places with large traffic, which affects the travel of citizens.
It can be said that the negative news about shared bicycles has come out.
"Hey, I don't know how Senior Shen will deal with it?"
Su Ming gloated and thought, after all, although the current CEO of the little yellow car company is still Yang Shijie, the control is in the hands of Shen Nanpeng.
As a super cow who single-handedly founded Ctrip and Homeinns, Shen Nanpeng also has no doubt about the company's management ability.
When encountering such a thing, Shen Nanpeng is afraid that he will sell the little yellow car company, right?
But before selling, these negative news will definitely be minimized, and at the same time, there must be some other movements, otherwise how to sell at a good price?
After all, he is the first person in the domestic venture capital industry, and he has a great say in the context and future of domestic Internet technology companies.
The term shared bicycle has long been played with rotten, and its future limitations have been doomed, so Shen Nanpeng will definitely sell the company.
A company that loses control can only be reduced to a plaything of capital.
This sentence is vividly reflected in the little yellow car company.
A few days after the New Year, Su Ming not only accompanied Li Qingqing and Zheng Miaoke at home, but also took a day to go to Mo Weiyu's house.
In just a few days, the footsteps of the New Year passed quietly.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Ming stepped on the plane and went to Rongcheng, stayed with Cai Yafei for a day, and went north to the capital on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Chu Mengxin, who rushed back from her hometown, couldn't help crying as soon as she saw Su Ming.
Because she was pregnant, she didn't dare to stay longer in her hometown, and she was in a hurry, for fear of being discovered.
After all, at this time, she just had morning sickness, and if it was a little stronger, her family would definitely find out.
"Okay, good, don't cry!"
Like coaxing a child, Su Ming hugged her and coaxed her gently.
Chu Mengxin followed him, and it was not easy.
Although the material conditions have been fully satisfied, the spiritual conditions will be more or less defective.
led Chu Mengxin to wander around the capital for a day, and the next day, Su Ming asked Lao Ye to drive the car and visit with gifts.
The first thing to visit is Professor Huang Bingkun, a great student in materials physics at Beijing University, who is completely different from other ordinary professors, and this Professor Huang Bingkun is an authority on materials in China.
In an ordinary residence in the faculty building of Beijing University, Su Ming, Ji Siyao, Lin Huizhu and others all sat obediently like elementary school students, looking at Huang Bingkun on the main seat opposite, and listening quietly.
When the conversation was almost over, Su Ming spoke at this time:
"Professor Huang, that's the case, I have set up a research institute in Modu, and I am going to study a project on automobile power systems, I wonder if I can invite you to participate?"
"Xiao Su, your project is very good, but you also know that I have a lot of projects in my hands, and I don't have time to ..... at all" Huang Bingkun shook his head and declined with a smile.
In fact, if it weren't for Ji Siyao, he wouldn't know Su Ming at all.
After all, he doesn't pay much attention to capital, and the news is just to watch the news broadcast of the central mother at seven o'clock every night.
So he didn't know Su Ming.
In addition, he is also a professor at Beijing University, and he is an authority in materials science and physics, and there is no shortage of projects in his hands, hundreds of millions or even billions of projects have been accepted.
Hearing Su Ming's mention of the automotive powertrain project, I think there may be billions of funds, but it may take several years.
This kind of project can be rejected directly.
Because he didn't want to go to the magic capital, the economy of that place was too developed, and the people were impetuous, so he knew at a glance that it was not a place to do project research.
"Professor Huang, don't be busy refusing yet, I haven't finished talking yet, in fact, we already have a general research direction for this project, or to be precise, the relevant theoretical knowledge has already been ......."
Su Ming's heart sank, and then quickly explained.
Huang Bingkun raised his hand and interrupted:
"Tell me, what kind of technology?"
"The powertrain is different from the traditional car system because we intend to use electricity as the core energy source.....
In the encyclopedia of technologies provided by the system, the technology on energy utilization has been completely broken.
It's just that the only thing that can be used by the earth at present is electricity.
Nuclear energy is actually possible, but Su Ming has no suitable talents in his hands, so if he touches the dangerous thing of nuclear technology, let's let it go first.
Therefore, electrical energy is the most urgent.
"Wait, you just said that your technology has reached the point where you can run 5,000 kilometers on a single full charge?"
Huang Bingkun suddenly interrupted Su Ming, who was talking, and asked with a shocked and questioning gaze.
In recent decades, the concept of new energy has been proposed, and electric vehicles have become a more popular type of car.
There are also many domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers have also launched pure electric vehicles, although there are not many pure electric vehicles on the road at present.
But at least there is.
But once fully charged, it is basically just a run of two or three hundred kilometers, and that's it, it's all awesome.
And Su Ming just said that after a full charge, it can travel 5,000 kilometers, this battery is too awesome, right?
No wonder it is said that it is necessary to study the corresponding power system, I am afraid that the root is here.
"Uh, yes, what's wrong?" Su Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't think he was bragging.
In fact, the previous domestic supercar project that Xiao Ah Qiao was responsible for, the power energy of its car is pure electric.
Alien technology is like this.
"What's wrong?" Huang Bingkun's voice unconsciously raised a lot, and his face became solemn:
"It's very inappropriate, do you know how long the pure electric cars on the market can run when fully charged? Up to 300 km!!
So when you say 5,000 kilometers, how exaggerated is that?
If this technology is real, then it will shock the whole world, you say, what materials and technologies are you using? ”
For a while, he couldn't help but get excited, and directly wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Su Ming.
But the latter smiled when he heard this, and said, "Professor Huang, if you are willing to deign to my institute, then you will see all these technologies..."
When Huang Bingkun heard this, his breathing suddenly became a lot shorter, but he quickly regained his calm.
Shaking his head, he said:
"How do I know if you're bragging?"
The old guy's reaction speed was so fast, Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled:
"Professor Huang, you may not know me, but what I want to tell you is that I was lucky enough to be on the list of the richest people in China published by Forbes before.
You can look for it, in addition, your student Yaoyao, she is now my assistant, you may not know her salary, I can tell you very responsibly, her year-end bonus last year was more than 30 million soft girl coins....."
Million?
Huang Bingkun immediately looked at Ji Siyao, who nodded in agreement.
He was stunned all of a sudden, so much?
Others don't know Ji Siyao, doesn't he know yet?
I just graduated from Beijing University for less than half a year, and I can get 30 million yuan in the year-end bonus?
