Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1162 Ideals and Games
An island in the central Pacific Ocean, formerly part of the Shennong Island Chain, has now been named Wanhu Island and allocated to Wanhu Space Exploration Company.
In the central area of the island, on an artificially cleared flat ground, a group of workers are setting up a rocket launch pad.
Wanhu-1, internally code-named "Kitchen God", has been successfully developed and passed the verification of computer simulation launch. In theory, Wanhu-1 has reached the stage of entering into practice.
Nan Ruoyin is on the island at the moment. She is in the living area, holding incense in her hand, kneeling down to worship the Kitchen God on the stove.
"Master Kitchen God, when I was three years old, I asked you to reward me with the position of Guardian of the South Heaven Gate, but you didn't give it to me. When I was four years old, I asked you to give me a land position, but you didn't give it to me either. I am thirty-two years old this year, and I won't ask for anything unrealistic. I only ask you to enter the orbit once and never fail."
If Wanhu No. 1 successfully enters orbit in one go, Wanhu will be the first private company to send a rocket into space. This will not only boost the ambitions of internal staff and give everyone the confidence to move forward step by step, but will also arouse the confidence of external investors in Wanhu, and Wanhu can easily attract the first investment.
Another thing is that Wanhu was one step ahead and attracted the attention of NASA. NASA not only has rich technical accumulation, but also has huge orders. As long as NASA is optimistic about it, Wanhu's development will enter the fast lane.
Although Wan Hu has cooperated with NASA and launched Explorer 1 into space, he was only treated as a sucker by NASA. He provided funds and a small part of the technology, but most of the final control was in the hands of NASA. Wan Hu seemed to have a little control, but in fact he had none. What he really had was the right to know, and a copy of the photos taken by Explorer 1 would be given to Wan Hu.
Nan Yi and Nan Ruoyin felt aggrieved about this matter, and they were determined to earn the money back from NASA.
After spending a day on Wanhu Island and expressing condolences to the staff, Nan Ruoyin immediately flew back to New York . She didn't understand the technology and couldn't help here. Now that the funds were in place and the gods had been prayed to, it all depended on luck from now on.
Although she really wanted Wanhu-1 to succeed in one go, she knew in her heart that the probability of failure was very high, and many problems could not be detected before the rocket was ignited.
After returning to New York, Nan Ruoyin immediately entered a busy work state, taking on several duties. Even though she did not need to do most things herself, just making the final decision took up a lot of her time and energy.
"Eman, is there anyone among the visitors who needs attention?" Nan Ruoyin sat in her big office chair, staring at the computer screen, checking the various reports submitted.
Emman Roland, who was standing in front of the table, replied: "Two Indians submitted a plan to build a shopping platform in India. They are former Amazon employees who just resigned."
Nan Ruoyin thought for a moment and said without raising his head, "Invite them to have breakfast together tomorrow. They have 20 minutes to convince me."
"OK." Emman Roland responded, and then said: "Zuckerberg wants to see you."
“What about Facebook’s data?”
“Not as good as TTMBook and MySpace, but the growth potential is good.”
Nan Ruoyin withdrew her gaze from the computer screen, raised her hand and pinched the pendant of the necklace to think for a while, "Eman, gather everyone to make an assessment, invest or destroy, and see which is more beneficial to us."
Social networks are not a new concept. In 1994, there was a commercial marriage social networking website called Match. Later, someone launched Classmates based on campus social networking. In 1997, Sixdegrees was born. It can be regarded as the ancestor of today's popular social networking websites, and all its creative ideas are leftovers from others.
Social networking sites no longer have much room to develop in terms of creativity and technology. The decisive factor in determining who can become a unicorn is capital. Once the financing channels are cut off, even the most impressive projects will be in vain.
"Rachel, I personally prefer investing."
"Keep your opinion to yourself for now. I'll speak up at the evaluation meeting and reply to Zuckerberg..." Nan Ruoyin opened the schedule on the computer and took a look. "It's next Friday at 2pm, at Feilong Internet Cafe."
"Hmm? Rachel, that's your leisure time."
"It's okay. I don't want to play World of Warcraft recently. I just want to play some sports and leisure games. Aiman, pay attention to companies that make casual games, especially those that are preparing to enter the mobile market. I think games that can be played in fragmented time will have good prospects."
Emman Roland: "Mobile devices are not mature yet, and the payback period will come later. Before that, why don't we pay attention to web games?"
"Like Travian/Clash of Clans?"
"uh-huh."
"Write me a report."
"OK."
…
"Professor Nan, Professor Nan."
Another class ended, and as Nan Yi walked out of the teaching building, student Qin Tao caught up with him.
Nan Yi stopped and turned around, "Qin Tao, what's the matter?"
Qin Tao came to Nan Yi and took a breath, "Professor Nan, I have a question I want to ask you."
"you say."
"Is it easy to find a part-time job in New Haven?" Qin Tao asked hopefully.
Nan Yi frowned and asked, "Qin Tao, you are an old man, right?"
"Yes, my mother was 46 years old when she gave birth to me." Qin Tao was quite surprised why Professor Nan asked this.
"Are you trying to get a place as an exchange student at Yale?"
"Yes."
"Very confident?"
Qin Tao nodded proudly.
"Let me ask you a more private question. Does your mother go to the bathroom often? Does she smell like urine occasionally?"
Qin Tao was embarrassed for a moment and gave an affirmative reply.
Nan Yi patted Qin Tao on the shoulder and said, "Go back and think about it carefully. Make a rational analysis of your parents. Do they care about face or practicality? You are the child of an ordinary farmer. Life will be a little unfair to you. Even if you get the exchange student quota, you can't afford the cost of going abroad."
Nan Yi patted his shoulders again, "Ideals, reality, filial piety, try to balance them, think calmly, come to me when you figure it out or not. Also, your mother may not have recovered well after giving birth, ask your father to take her to the hospital, you can come to me if you don't have money. Go ahead, have fun this weekend."
After Nan Yi left, Qin Tao stood there and did not leave. He wanted to sort out his thoughts.
Nan Yi didn't take this matter to heart. He returned to the old house, ate something, turned on the computer and started playing "Clash of Clans".
Compared to Nan Ruoyin who still needs to do more research, Nan Yi has already determined that web games are a rotten gold mine. It does not have huge investment value for capital, but for entrepreneurs, this is definitely a good opportunity to get rich quickly.
Nan Yi has quite a lot of knowledge about web games. In fact, he was considered half a person in this field in his previous life. It was also this year that he had passed the most difficult period of starting a business and started to have some spare money to consider asset preservation and appreciation.
It just so happened that his company was next to a company engaged in web game development. However, like most entrepreneurs, the boss of this company was also trying to challenge others at a higher level. Once, he was blocked by employees asking for their wages. He happened to meet them and said a few good words to them. Afterwards, the other party asked him to drink with them. After two drinks, they started to talk. He then started to get involved in web games.
Later, he took out 350,000 yuan to participate in this small gambling game for fun, and took over 40% of the company's shares. Fortunately, he caught the right opportunity and the 350,000 yuan turned into tens of millions. After getting the dividends, he used the money to cast his net everywhere in this field.
It's no wonder that his investment method, which was like a headless fly, had a high success rate in the end. He invested in 16 companies, 9 of which failed, 5 were almost fooled, and 2 were successful, with a success rate of 12.5%. From the initial investment of 350,000, by the time he withdrew from the field, he had the right to lose all his money.
Yes, he became a billionaire.
Now that the time has come, facing a similar gaming environment in China and with resources at hand that he could not have imagined in his previous life, Nan Yi cautiously and modestly only set fifty small goals for himself.
After playing the game for more than three hours and recharging several hundred yuan, Nan Yi pulled out the document and started writing the plan.
