Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0783 It's not luck, it's mathematics
The three of them laughed and joked for a while, then Zhao Shixian returned upstairs to continue working, while Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin took a walk for a while and then took a car back to Deep Water Bay.
The next day, it was time for Nan Yi to spend time with his children, and the frequent flyer set out again.
When Nan Yi boarded the plane, Xian Jitong was already at the lead-zinc mine in Shaozhou, measuring the land with a ruler one kilometer away from the mine with people from the town government.
When Nan Yi left Xiaoya Bay, he had a deep talk with Xian Jitong. The two invested 2 million yuan to establish a small lithium battery company, starting with the production of lead-acid battery flashlights and "power banks". After accumulating a certain amount of capital, they focused on development in the battery field.
Power banks, or mobile power supplies, are not a product of the 21st century. They have already appeared in the 1990s and were all the rage.
Although disposable dry batteries at that time were cheap, their capacity was very low. If you put a pair of dry batteries into a Walkman, it would last for two hours if you were lucky, but if you were unlucky and bought inferior batteries, it would last for half an hour. You would hear a "lagging sound" in your ears while listening to music.
Once the dragging sound appears, it means that the battery is about to run out of power. Usually, people born in the 1970s and 1980s would remove the battery, put it in their mouths and bite it a few times with their teeth. If they bite too hard and break the protective layer, it will taste like chicken and be crispy.
The bitten dry battery can still last for a few minutes, and then it is completely finished. The only thing to do is to pay for a new battery. An ordinary one is 50 cents, and a better one is one dollar. They are often bought in rows. First, they use up the breakfast money, and then the lunch money. The friends have been working hard on batteries for a long time.
At this time, the epoch-making high-tech product "power bank" appeared. Its appearance not only resolved the crisis of talent gap in sports in the country, but also saved many lost lambs who were about to extend their evil hands to their classmates' schoolbags and pencil cases. It also saved the school from disaster and spared a lot of infamy.
In order to buy dry batteries, many happy little friends threw dirty water on the school. Today it's material fees, tomorrow it's class fees, and the day after tomorrow it's donations. Numerous excuses are mixed in with the already frequent charges.
As for the unhappy friends, they didn’t suffer from dry batteries at all. They were usually sent back by their teachers to ask their parents for the overdue tuition fees. They were too upset to go home and could only go under the weeping willows or by the pond, staring at the green. Their big toes unwillingly ran out from the holes in their shoes, mercilessly mocking their leaky pockets, “You are so clean, cleaner than your face!”
The power bank is said to be high-tech, but in fact the principle is very simple. It is nothing more than the miniaturization of lead-acid batteries. In terms of technological content, the matching cross plug has a higher technological content.
After measuring the land, Xian Jitong returned to the hotel and opened a file bag handed to him by Nan Yi. Inside were several patents and several design drawings. After reading through the documents again, Xian Jitong put the documents away and picked up a book on batteries to read carefully.
After arriving in New York, Nan Yi was not idle. In addition to accompanying his son, he also issued an order to reorganize Gaojue Communications Company. Gaojue was upgraded from a company to a group, and the enterprise was split into two subsidiaries - Gaojue Satellite and Silver Throat (Long-tailed Tit).
Gaojue Satellite is still focusing on the development of satellite communications, Yinhou will engage in the research and development of portable electronic accessories, mainly in the field of mobile phone accessories, and Nanyi is determined to become the accessories supplier behind the mobile phone brands.
To this end, he invested US$1 billion in Yinhou, not only to establish his own R&D center in Madrid, Spain, but also to purchase patents from Motorola, Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies that are already engaged in communications R&D.
If these four companies were not completely impossible to acquire, Nan Yi would really want to spend a huge amount of money to acquire one of them.
In addition, a company called DSS was established in Erlangen, Germany. This company will focus on the field of industrial automation, and all the robotic arm technologies that DSS has mastered will be injected into DSS.
When it comes to machinery, Germany is second, and no country dares to say it is first. After years of development, Germany has already had a solid foundation in machinery and a complete mechanical talent training system. It will be more convenient for Xiao Xiaonan to absorb talents or merge other German companies in this field.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Nan Yi established Xiao Xiao Nan in Erlangen. Of course, the reason why it was Erlangen instead of other cities in Germany is also due to the Siemens factor. Siemens' actual holding company, Siemens AG, is located in Erlangen.
In addition, the Intelligence and Policy Committee will set up a high-tech group, which will be responsible for coordinating Nan's investment in the high-tech field and controlling Nan's high-tech related assets.
Nan Yi also made a budget plan of investing US$100 billion over 20 years, with US$15 billion invested in the first 10 years, with funds raised by Nan itself; and US$85 billion invested in the second 10 years. At this point, Nan should have a lot of R&D results in its hands, which can be injected into the company individually or in an orderly combination. The company can then start financing and absorb funds from the financial market to continue the research.
"Daddy."
One day, Nan Yi was writing copy in the study when Nan Youqiong walked in from outside.
Nan Yi took his hands off the keyboard and turned to look at Nan Youqiong, "You're back so early, where's your mommy?"
"Mommy has a last-minute appointment to have dinner with guests."
"Uh-huh, so dinner will be just the two of us, in or out?"
"Outside, Spanish food."
Nan Yi glanced at the alarm clock on the desk, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon now . We'll leave at six, OK?"
"OK, Dad, will my staying here interfere with your work?" Nan Youqiong nodded and said.
"No, I'm planning a new company. If you're interested, you can push your chair over and sit here to watch." Nan Yi pointed to a chair next to him and said.
When Nan Youqiong heard Nan Yi's words, he pushed his chair to Nan Yi's side and fixed his eyes on the computer screen.
"Dad, what does PPT stand for?"
“Power Point.”
"Power sockets? The new company is in the electrical business?"
"No, I used the power socket to allude to the presentation, you can also understand it as a slide." Nan Yi said without turning his head.
“So, what does PPT do?”
"The main body of the PPT is an investment company that invests in companies that operate conceptual projects. As long as the project is popular and sought after by hot money, we will invest. It doesn't matter whether the project has prospects or not. Our funds will not follow until the end."
"Speculation?"
Nan Yi spread his hands and said, "You can say that."
"Dad, last month Mommy took me to a club event in Palm Beach, Florida, where I met Mr. Madoff. He persuaded Mommy to invest in a fund he established, saying that she could get a stable return for many years."
“Bernard Madoff?”
"Yes."
“What’s the rate of return?”
“10%.”
"Not too much, not too little. If it's less, it won't be attractive, and if it's more, it won't be believable. This Bernard is interesting. He absorbs funds from competitors." Nan Yi stroked his chin and smiled evilly. "If you are poor, you can invest your pocket money in Mr. Madoff's fund. 10% a year can beat inflation. It's a good investment."
"NO." Nan Youqiong shook his head. "The rate of return is too low. I have too little money. I want to invest in projects with higher returns."
“What to invest in?”
“Lotto.”
When Nan Yi heard this, his brows furrowed. "You want to leave all your funds to luck?"
“Dad, no, Michigan has started a new lottery called Windfall, and Massachusetts has launched Cash Windfall. These two lotteries have a new rule:
Players who match six numbers will take all the prize money. If no one wins, the prize money will be distributed to those who match five numbers, four numbers, or three numbers.
According to this rule, the chances of winning by sharing the prize money are much higher than the chances of winning the jackpot by one person alone. There are too many permutations and combinations of five digits. I can calculate the four-digit and three-digit numbers specifically. This is mathematics, not luck. "
"Since you said it was math, not luck, then you can go and do it. If you need help, tell your mommy."
"Thank you, Dad."
"You're welcome. Mathematics is a good subject. Half of our family's income should be attributed to mathematics. Make good use of it."
Nan Youqiong nodded in response.
When talking about mathematics, Nan Yi's thinking was affected. He could no longer continue writing PPT. His mind was filled with the three words "virtual currency".
“Mathematics, computing power, virtual currency, Ponzi…”
Nan Yi sat there in a daze until six o'clock, then he woke up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and took Nan Youqiong out.
