Chapter 628: New Year's Eve
Compared with the city, the New Year atmosphere in the countryside is much stronger.
As soon as winter begins, we have already started to kill New Year pigs and prepare various cured meats. Especially around the New Year, there are endless people attending the market.
Nowadays, we don’t see many young and strong people in the countryside at night. Anyone who has a little promising prospect will not stay at home. It is difficult to rely on the harvest in the field to get married. However, in the past few days before the New Year, the village suddenly became lively. Whether those who are going to school or working outside, they have to come back to celebrate the New Year.
Chen Qiaoshan used to sigh that the New Year's atmosphere was worse than the year, but now I look at it, but it is not the case at all.
In the countryside, busy New Year is not a verbal talk. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Tao Xiuying has not been idle for a day and always has endless work.
With Chen Weiguo, Tao Xiuying rarely sent Chen Qiaoshan. He had delicious food and drinks at home and had nothing to worry about. He was happy to be idle, but on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chen family welcomed another wave of uninvited guests.
The night before, Chen Qiaoshan received a call from Tan Zhi. He thought it was a news from Framework Media, but unexpectedly it was about financing, and it was said that it was still very urgent.
It’s hard for Chen Qiaoshan to refuse during the New Year.
There are only three flights a week from Yanjing to Nanyang. If you fail to catch the plane, Tan Zhi actually drove to Dengzhou overnight.
Little two thousand miles away, he had to answer those who were not familiar with the place. Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to go back and forth, so he called Fatty Sun and asked him to wait at the intersection of the national road. He greeted Tao Xiuying again at home and had to prepare for the reception in advance.
During the Chinese New Year, only those who collect debts will run around.
Their son can make trouble, so far, he has taken a lot of money home, but the couple can't figure out what Chen Qiaoshan is doing outside. When he heard someone coming to him, Tao Xiuying couldn't help but worry, "It's going to be the New Year, who is coming, why are they here now?"
"I'm here to find an investment, but I don't know who it is." Apart from Tan Zhi, the intermediary, Chen Qiaoshan really doesn't know who it is. Although there was communication on the phone, he was talking about projects more.
Tao Xiuying looked worried, and she stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Second, tell me the truth, do you owe someone money outside?"
"Mom, you're thinking too much. I don't owe others money. It's someone else who comes to borrow money from me." Chen Qiaoshan had explained to his parents a long time ago that Chen Weiguo was fine, but Tao Xiuying really didn't understand what venture capital was.
"No matter what you do outside, you must not speculate, do you know?" Tao Xiuying solemnly told her that she only knew this word about economic crime. Although it was a bit awkward to use it on her son, she couldn't care about those.
Chen Qiaoshan was a little amused, but Chen's mother was sincerely doing her good for her, so he had to accept it.
At noon, a Santana and an Audi parked at the entrance of Chenjiayuan one after another.
There is Sun Guangming in front, and Chen Qiaoshan has also seen the car behind. It is Tan Zhi's car. I guess he is very tired after running all the way.
Fatty Sun first got out of the car. As soon as he saw Chen Qiaoshan, he said, "Dashan, when was the cement road in your village built? It was much better than before."
After three months, Qianwang Village finally completed the hardening of the village road. Chen Laoqi had been a village cadre for many years and still had organizational capabilities. Although there were some conflicts due to land occupation issues, it was finally completed before the New Year.
Although the budget exceeded a lot, Chen Laoqi knew how to be a good person and led the construction team to build the road to the door of the Chen family. As for the excess budget, most of them were the project payments of the villagers. Because there was a saying that as long as the quality was fine, Chen Qiaoshan would definitely recognize it.
"I just came back, and it should be a few days." Without talking to Fat Sun, Chen Qiaoshan first met Tan Zhi, who had already got off the car. "Mr. Tan, thank you for your hard work, is it going smoothly, right?"
"Fortunately, I rested in the highway service area for a few hours, otherwise I wouldn't be able to withstand it." After all, I was in my fifties. After all, Tan Zhi felt a little exhausted physically and mentally, but when he saw Chen Qiaoshan, he reluctantly cheered up and introduced: "Let me introduce that this is Mr. Xie, an old man in our venture capital circle, and this is Mr. Zhu, a returnee who just returned from Silicon Valley."
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Xie Jun. I have long admired Mr. Chen's name. I will meet you today. Please take care of me in the future." Xie Jun was very enthusiastic. As soon as he saw Chen Qiaoshan, he took out his business card and introduced himself.
I communicated on the phone yesterday. Xie Jun had the title of general manager of technical assets of Tsinghua Science and Technology Park and had been wandering in Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun all year round. Like Tan Zhi, he is a famous broker in the venture capital circle.
The circle is so big, and Chen Qiaoshan has also learned about this number of people. He smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning to take care of you. In the future, Mr. Xie has projects. Please take care of Qingshan Capital more."
"What does Mr. Chen say? I'm just a tutor. If Mr. Chen is willing, we should go more in the future." Xie Jun looked very eyebrow. Although Chen Qiaoshan was young, he was valued by Tan Zhi, so he must have his own excellence. Moreover, Qingshan's capital is in full swing, so he will not underestimate it.
The two chatted lively, but instead left Zhu Yiming aside. He didn't care much. Instead, he focused on looking at the environment he was in. The very ordinary farmyard was cleaned up. Except for the bread parked in the asbestos tile carport in a corner, the Chen family's yard was just ordinary in the countryside.
Zhu Yiming couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could he be a venture capitalist who often spends millions of dollars to invest in this kind of yard?
Just when Zhu Yiming became suspicious, Chen Qiaoshan's attention also turned to Zhu Yiming. The reason why he was willing to see him at this time was mainly because the returnee's investment field was quite special and he was planning to build chips.
In fact, as early as the 1990s, there was a climax of chip entrepreneurship in China.
In the early 1990s, Shijingshan Steel Plant once crossed the border to make chips and established a joint venture with NEC. It coincided with the industry's prosperity and its heyday, with annual sales of nearly one billion yuan.
After the new millennium, steel mills that tasted the sweetness wanted to do a big deal and were preparing to invest 1.3 billion US dollars in the chip industry. As a result, the IT bubble burst, resulting in a sluggish prospect in the global chip industry and investment was left in the end.
Not only Shijingshan Steel Plant, including Moutai and Wuliangye, all have the intention of making a move. For example, Moutai has frequently entered the optoelectronics and storage industries in recent years. Wuliangye is even more unpredictable. First, it was reported that it invested 10 billion yuan in the chip industry, and in the future it was built cars and monitors. A wine company is like a high-tech company.
In recent years, there have been many domestic chip projects. In 2004, no less than five companies, including Huawei HiSilicon and Lanqi Technology, have launched their chip business.
Chen Qiaoshan is very clear that to reach the level of Intel and Nvidia, the domestic technical power is indeed almost the same. In the global chip industry, the United States is the dominant one. This is an indisputable fact. It cannot be world-class, but it still has the power to fight in the subdivided fields.
The most important thing is that Chen Qiaoshan is optimistic about Zhu Yiming and the core technology Jiayi he will create.
Because he was also a Tsinghua Chinese, at the beginning of his establishment, Deng Feng of the Northern Lights invested 50,000 US dollars out of loyalty. More than ten years later, he donated this part of his equity to Tsinghua University, which was worth more than ten million US dollars at that time. Of course, Deng Feng's subsequent capital increase also directly received more than one billion in cash returns, which was a great harvest.
