"Unfortunately, several of the semiconductor companies mentioned by Xiao Dong that day have not yet been established. They are either state-owned enterprises or simply national research institutes.”
"For example, those companies like Shanghai Precise Testing Technologies, Dongfang Jingyuan, Yangcheng Yuexin, etc. These companies don't exist at all.”
"I don't know when these companies will be established. I have to pay attention to them from time to time.”
"Currently, the only company that has the opportunity to invest is Central International…"
Li Ze sat in his office, deep in thought.
During this period of time, he had specially learned and collected some information, but he found that most of the domestic semiconductor companies that he had heard from his son Li Dong that day had not been established at all.
However, even though Central International had only been established for a little over a year…
However, according to the information that Li Ze had found, the founder of Center International, Zhang Rujing, was a big shot. He used to work for Texas Instruments in the United States.
Later, he founded Shida Technologies in Wan Province and became the third largest company in the industry.
Unfortunately, Wan Jidian had secretly acquired the shares of other shareholders and directly annexed his company.
Zhang Rujing was not willing to be inferior to others, so he simply brought more than 300 engineers to the mainland and founded Center International.
When Central International was first established, it had raised one billion USD.
It was not easy to invest in Central International now, and it would be difficult to get too many shares.
However, Li Ze still wanted to give it a try.
Although the funds he could use were only convenient for the Legend of Mir 2, he estimated that he could only take out about 300 million. However, with Central International's current situation, it would probably take a long time to negotiate a successful investment.
He could try to get in touch with them first, and then slowly discuss the rest.
If they could reach an agreement, Li Ze would be able to transfer more funds.
"Xiaomu, go and call President Yu over. I have something to tell him.”
Li Ze stopped thinking and raised his head to instruct Mu Qinglan.
The employees that he had hired previously had just joined the company today. However, Zerun Investment originally had nothing to deal with.
Li Ze planned to let Yu Bo, who had just joined the company, contact Central International first to test if they would still accept investments.
"Okay, President Li."
Mu Qinglan responded and immediately went to find Yu Bo.
"President Li, what can I do for you?”
Yu Bo was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a rich resume and had worked in many investment companies.
"President Yu, do you know Central International?" Li Ze asked.”
Yu Bo was stunned. He didn't understand why Li Ze suddenly asked about Central International. He nodded and said,""I've heard of it. This company seemed to be founded by Dr. Zhang Rujing. Moreover, it had received investment from many domestic and foreign institutions at the beginning of its establishment.”
"It is said that the funds raised exceeded one billion US dollars.”
"I need you to contact Central International under the name of Zerun Investment to see if they still accept investments."”
Yu Bo was a little surprised." CEO Li, you want to invest in Central International?”
"That's right. Try to get in touch with them and see how they respond. If the other party is not very tight-lipped, you can continue to negotiate with them…"
Li Ze said.
"Alright, then I'll try to get in touch with them in the next two days and sound them out…" Yu Bo understood and replied.
"Yes."
Li Ze didn't ask much after he handed over the matter of contacting Central International to Yu Bo.
He knew that this was not something that could be settled in a short period of time.
It was September.
Lin Yue, who was in the US, finally sent back some information about the paid downloads of music on the iMusic platform after it went online in the US.
Even though iMusic had only been online for half a month.
However, the revenue was actually not bad. In just half a month, it had already generated nearly four million dollars in revenue.
Of course, 55% of the profits would be paid to the two major associations, ASPAC and BOSS, but it was still a good start...
September 7th.
Her cousin Jiang Yuxuan was finally going to start school.
Li Ze personally drove her to school.
When Li Ze's Benz S600 drove into Shanghai Jiao Tong University's campus, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Even in Shanghai, there were not many people who could afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz S600 in this era.
However, it was precisely because it was Shanghai that many people recognized it as a Benz at a glance.
Especially when they saw Jiang Yuxuan get out of the car, many people passing by couldn't help but whisper...
"Who is this person? He actually drove a Benz to school.”
"Looks like he's a new student who just registered today. Tsk tsk, a child from a rich family. This car should be at least a few hundred thousand yuan, right?”
"Hundreds of thousands? If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a Benz S600. It's worth at least one to two million!”
"D * mn, is that true? This car actually costs one to two million?"
……
When they heard that the car cost one to two million yuan, those people immediately looked at Jiang Yuxuan with envy.
Today was the registration day for Shanghai Jiao Tong University's new students. Those older students had already returned to school two days ago.
Therefore, when they saw Li Ze helping Jiang Yuxuan take her luggage out of the trunk, the surrounding students immediately guessed that Jiang Yuxuan should be a new student this year.
"Cousin, you go ahead. I'll handle the procedures myself.”
Jiang Yuxuan said as she took the suitcase from Li Ze.
Li Ze didn't insist. He still had to go to the office later, so he nodded and said,""Alright, then take good care of yourself in school. Call me anytime if there's anything.”
Previously, Li Ze had specially bought a phone for Jiang Yuxuan so that she could contact him easily.
"Alright, Cousin!" Jiang Yuxuan replied.”
"Okay, then I'll leave first…"
Li Ze said goodbye to Jiang Yuxuan, got into the car, and left Shanghai Jiao Tong University…
Soon, it was the end of September.
In the past month, several companies under Li Ze's name were developing steadily.
After Zerun Holding Group was established, they hired a few assistants to the president's office, which made Li Ze's work much easier.
Moreover, he could directly instruct these assistants to coordinate and deal with many things. There was no need to let Shen Qianru, who was in charge of Legend of Mir 2, or Sun Ting, who was in charge of Zerun Technology, take care of them.
In the past month, Legend of Mir 2 didn't have much change. Its revenue was basically the same as August, with more than 160 million.
The main reason was that after the end of the First Martial Arts Conference in the World, the influence of killing a dragon in exchange for a house in Shanghai was still there.
The number of players online in the Legend of Mir 2 had always been above 1.5 million, and at its peak, it could reach close to 2 million.
The profits from September had brought the total funds in Legend of Mir 2's account to 420 million, mainly because Li Ze had repaid the 30 million loan from Shanghai Commercial Bank.
As for Zerun Technology, the monthly sales in the Chinese market increased slightly from August, once again breaking through the sales of 200,000 units.
The American market had also entered a period of slow growth, with monthly sales of more than 290,000 units.
In addition to the iMusic platform's paid music downloads... the entire September revenue of Zerun Technology reached 1.1 billion Chinese dollars. The profit was about 315 million.
Li Ze had expected the revenue and profits of these two companies, but he was not surprised.
Instead, it was the Fengchi electric bike that surprised Li Ze.
This month, the Fengchi electric vehicle did not continue to expand in other cities. It mainly continued to develop the market in the 17 cities that it had entered before.
Although the advertising expenses were not small, the harvest was also gratifying.
Throughout September, the sales volume of Fengchi No. 1 electric vehicles in the country exceeded 69,000 units!
Revenue rose by nearly 50% from the previous month, reaching more than 170 million.
The profit exceeded 100 million!
As for League of Legends Internet Cafe…Li Ze was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Even though there were dozens of internet cafes in total, and even though the internet fees were much lower than two or three years ago, the profits could not be compared to before.
However, the profit was actually a few million, but compared to the other companies, it was really not worth mentioning.
However, there was also a piece of bad news.
It was Li Ze who asked Yu Bo to contact Center International, but the other party had no intention of continuing to accept investments.
Although the company had only been established for a year and a half, everything was developing very well. Zhang Rujing also had a billion US dollars in start-up funds, so he was not short of money in a short period of time.
Li Ze had no choice but to see if he had the chance to invest in Central International again in the future.
On the other hand, Xiaxing Microelectronics had developed a chip that was suitable for the MP3 player according to Zerun Technology's needs.
However, there was still a gap between this chip and the chip used in the Z1 MP3, so it was only used in the D1 MP3 player for the time being.
However, this also reduced the cost of the D1 MP3 player.
In addition, Zerun Technology's product development department had already produced the Z2 and D2 prototype, and they were currently making targeted improvements.
Li Ze planned to release a new model at the end of the year…
September 30th.
Li Ze drove to Shanghai Jiao Tong University again.
The National Day holiday was coming soon, and Li Ze planned to take this time to take a break from work and relax.
Coincidentally, his son, Li Dong, had mentioned that he had never had the chance to visit the courtyard house in the capital. Therefore, Li Ze planned to bring him and his cousin, Jiang Yuxuan, to the capital for a few days tomorrow.
Li Ze drove the car to the roadside outside Shanghai Jiao Tong University's dormitory and waited for his cousin to come down.
Not long after, he saw his cousin Jiang Yuxuan and another girl walking out of the dormitory area with their suitcases.
"Xuanxuan, over here…"
Li Ze quickly waved his hand.
When Jiang Yuxuan heard this, she looked up and saw Li Ze. She immediately replied,""Cousin…"
He quickly walked over.
The girl who was with her also walked closer and looked at Li Ze's car in surprise-a Mercedes-Benz S600!
Xuanxuan, is this your classmate?"
Li Ze glanced at the girl with Jiang Yuxuan and asked.
"Yes! Cousin, this is my roommate, Zhang Xinlan!”
Jiang Yuxuan replied. Then, she said to her classmate,"Xinlan, then I'll be leaving with my cousin…"
Zhang Xinlan smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw a car approaching from not far away. She said,"Yeah, my cousin came to pick me up too…"
Li Ze and Jiang Yuxuan followed her gaze and saw that it was also a luxury car.
However, Li Ze looked at the license plate and found it familiar.
At this moment, the car had already stopped beside Li Ze. Then, someone got out of the car.
Upon seeing the other party, Li Ze was instantly enlightened. He then glanced at Zhang Xinlan and could not help but laugh. It was quite a coincidence.
When the person who got out of the car saw Li Ze, he was stunned and quickly walked up to him." Director Li! Why are you here?"
It was Mu Qinglan.
When Zhang Xinlan heard how Mu Qinglan addressed Li Ze, she was stunned. Especially when he saw that Mu Qinglan's attitude was quite respectful, he was even more surprised.
"Yes, I am. Xiao Mu, is this your cousin? I'm also here to pick up my cousin. I didn't expect your cousin to be my cousin's classmate, hehe…"
Li Ze smiled and said.
Mu Qinglan looked at Jiang Yuxuan, who was standing beside Li Ze, and suddenly came to a realization. She smiled and said,""What a coincidence."
"Alright, then we'll leave first."
Li Ze said to Mu Qinglan.
"Okay, President Li, take care…"
Mu Qinglan hurriedly replied.
After Li Ze drove off with Jiang Yuxuan, Zhang Xinlan finally couldn't help but ask,""Cousin, that person just now was…"
Mu Qinglan withdrew his gaze and looked at his cousin. He smiled and said,""He's my current boss!"
Zhang Xinlan was shocked. She raised her head and looked at Li Ze's Benz S600 that had already left." He's your boss?"”
"Cousin, didn't you say that Legendary Games and Zerun Technology are both your boss's companies? I didn't expect him to be my classmate's cousin!”
Zhang Xinlan was in disbelief.
Be it Legendary Games or Zerun Technology, they were both quite famous.
One was the overlord of the online gaming market, and the other was the company that produced the latest MP3 players!
Even Zhang Xinlan herself was using a Z1 player, so she had heard about these two companies. She had heard from Mu Qinglan that the company she was currently working for was the parent company of these two companies.
"I didn't expect President Li's cousin to be your classmate," Mu Qinglan said with a smile. Alright, get in the car. Aunt is still waiting for you to go back.”
"Oh."
Zhang Xinlan nodded.
……
The next morning, Li Ze flew to the capital with Jiang Yuxuan and his son, Li Dong.
"Here, this is our courtyard house…"
After arriving in the capital, Li Ze brought the two of them to visit the courtyard house he had bought.
However, because he had not lived here, the courtyard house was somewhat messy.
However, Li Dong did not care much about the chaos. Instead, he looked around excitedly.
"Dad, when are you going to find someone to renovate this courtyard house? This way, when the holidays come in the future, we can come over to play and directly stay here.”
Li Dong said.
" Sure, I'll get someone to clean it up. I'll also get the housekeeper to come over and clean it regularly..." Li Ze smiled.
Although he didn't know many people in New York, Legend of Mir 2 had a local staff. He just needed to find someone to keep an eye on the renovation.
At this moment, Jiang Yuxuan suddenly sighed,""This place is really close to the Forbidden City. You can almost see it as soon as you walk out of the alley…"
"I bought this place because it's close to the Forbidden City," said Li Ze with a smile. Other than this, I have another courtyard house in the capital.”
"But that side is a little further away.”
Jiang Yuxuan was already a little numb to Li Ze's assets, so she didn't have much of a reaction.
At night, Li Ze and the other two went straight to the hotel.
In the next two days, Li Ze brought Jiang Yuxuan and Li Dong to visit various famous scenic spots in Kyoto, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, the Old Summer Palace, and so on.
However, because it was the National Day holiday, there were a lot of tourists, and it was quite tiring.
On the 4th, Li Ze had planned to bring the two of them around, but his son, Li Dong, suddenly suggested going to Zhongguan Village.
Li Ze didn't think too much about it.
Since his son wanted to go, then he would go.
They arrived at Zhongguan Village.
Li Ze suddenly heard his son's voice in his mind.
So this was Zhongguan Village…But it looked like it was still in its infancy.
Li Ze ignored his son's emotional thoughts and said with a smile,""Let's walk around. It's my first time in Zhongguan Village.”
"Alright!"
They walked around Zhongguan Village for a long time.
At this moment, Li Ze's son's voice rang in his mind again.
Eh, Yinfeng Building…It's October 2001 now. I remember that Da Qiangzi opened his first shop in Yinfeng Building this year, right?
However, Da Qiangzi seemed to be still selling discs and discs at this time, and Gou Dong had not yet entered the e-commerce field.
Speaking of which, Da Qiangzi was also a big shot. Despite the serious decline in the profit of computer hardware, the profit of a recorder plummeted from about 1,000 yuan to 10 yuan. Other shop owners had already resold other equipment.
However, he was still able to maintain sales of 60 million yuan, even if the gross profit was only about 3 million yuan.
If it wasn't for the virus crisis in 2003, which caused his business to plummet and forced him to go online, he might not have changed his business so quickly and established Goudong Mall.
However, he was still an amazing person. He started off by making 3C products, built his own self-operated system and national logistics and storage system step by step, and made Gou Dong the largest self-operated e-commerce platform in the country...
Hmm…why don't I find an excuse to let Dad enter Yinfeng Building and see if I can 'bump into' Big Hadron?
Although Da Qiangzi had yet to start his own e-commerce business, he wanted to create an opportunity for his father to have some interaction with Da Qiangzi so that he could guide his father to invest in Goudong Mall in the future…
One had to know that in the future, Brother Ma of Penguin couldn't even start an e-commerce business. He couldn't compete with the treasure picking in Ah.
However, Big Hadron was able to forcefully tear off a large piece of the market. He even made A'li change his strategy and create the Earth Cat Mall. He crazily diverted his attention from treasure hunting and fought against Gou Dong. It could be seen how powerful Big Hadron was!
Thinking of this, Li Dong suddenly raised his head and said to Li Ze,""Dad, let's go into this building and take a look. We've been wandering outside for so long, and the weather is hot. It's just nice to go in and cool down and rest…"
After hearing his son's inner thoughts, Li Ze knew what he was trying to do.
However, Li Ze was surprised by his son's words.
A recorder with a profit of only 10 yuan was able to achieve sales of 60 million yuan and a gross profit of about 3 million yuan. Later on, he even created the largest self-operated e-commerce platform in the country... This Big Hadron was indeed amazing!
Thinking of this, Li Ze immediately followed his son's words and said,"Alright, let's go in and take a look."
