Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

Chapter 401: Hundredfold Success Rate Aura!


It's just that doing research costs a lot of money.

Huawei in 2008 had an R&D expenditure of 10.469 billion yuan, accounting for 8.4% of revenue.

This year, that figure reached 23.7 billion.

The so-called billions net worth of Qi Hao basically exists in the form of stocks, making it difficult to liquidate.

Major expenses can only be handled through loans.

Qi Hao has recently been considering establishing a private equity fund within Donghao Venture Capital, initially targeting company employees to absorb their cash that they don't know how to invest.

This is quite a promising endeavor.

Huawei has done it before.

East Hao Group currently has over a thousand employees, and their salary levels are not low, mostly above the city average salary, with some earning millions annually.

Everyone generally has financial needs.

To manage finances, several company executives even partnered to start a small investment company.

But they only dare to dabble.

If Qi Hao didn't invest, they wouldn't dare to follow suit. Facing long-term investments, they don't have the calmness of Qi Hao, investing mostly in company-produced films and TV shows.

However, not all of these productions are profitable.

There are also losing projects.

For example, "Kuiba."

Additionally, the company's film projects definitely have to share with Feiyang Media, and animations with West Hao Animation Film and Television, sometimes even with other producers, to ensure allies also get a share.

Leaving not much for the executives.

They don't make much money.

Their small investment company has a very low capital utilization rate, with over a hundred million idle on the books.

This money can be used to alleviate Qi Hao's cash flow pressure.

He has great confidence in the projects he invests in.

Like those of Apple, Xiaomi, DJI, Tesla, they all have system endorsements, chosen by the system, and assuredly won't lose money in the future.

His money will only increase.

And as for technology research, it's even easier; others must overcome countless difficulties, whereas Qi Hao is like taking an open-book exam, directly knowing the correct answers, now just going through the motions.

When the technology breakthroughs are "developed," it naturally can be monetized.

Whether it's offering technical services or providing technical application products, they will surely earn a windfall.

He could even promise that those employees who join the investment project would definitely not lose money; regardless of whether the investment projects are profitable, they could be reimbursed the principal within a certain timeframe.

Qi Hao plans to first use company insiders as a test.

If the response is good, then open it to banking clients.

Qi Hao's company is very legitimate, totally unrelated to illegal fund-raising.

Once the money problem is solved, the question is how to present the big package.

Presenting it directly certainly won't work.

There's no way to explain its origin; Qi Hao wouldn't possibly say that he has a relative abroad who is a big name in the scientific community in Europe and America who secretly transferred the technology to the country.

This kind of thing can be traced right away.

Nor can the system create a relative for him who could win a Nobel Prize.

As for how this so-called tech package should be presented, the system also provided an aftermath solution.

Qi Hao can establish a technology company.

Setting up a research institute within the technology company, as long as research is conducted on the technologies included in the package, he can achieve tremendous results with minimum effort, getting whatever he wants in a very short time.

A god-level technology research institute!

With a hundred-fold success rate halo!

Moreover, the research directions won't have errors, directly aiming towards the correct answers.

Establishing the company isn't difficult.

Since acquiring Xiaomi's business information, Qi Hao has been considering setting up a technology company besides Xiaomi to digest this business information.

Later, he also obtained DJI's business information.

Thus, this technology company can add some businesses related to DJI.

It coincides with the system's ideas.

Of course, it's also possible that Tongzi saw Qi Hao's actions and was inspired.

Establishing a technology company is a major affair.

If any ordinary group company wants to increase investment in research, it will almost certainly face various obstacles.

Investments aim for quick returns.

Who cares about century-long plans, or the company's distant future.

They only know that research is a bottomless pit.

East Hao Group doesn't face such issues because Qi Hao is the unique boss.

Everyone else works for him.

Moreover, his life experiences are legendary. He is the Little Buffett in the eyes of the world, never having missed a shot since his debut.

Even Old Tian, who has been following him, and the extraordinarily capable Zhanqi Laiden see Qi Hao as a legendary figure.

They only interpret Qi Hao's actions, never questioning him.

"What, ten billion loan?"

Old Tian and Qi Hao actually discussed the issue of the technology company more than once.

Anyone with a keen insight can see.

Smartphones are the next frontier; once you step onto it, even wild boars can ascend to the skies.

But the conclusion the two came up with before was that the initial scale doesn't have to be too large, first to be arranged in their own park, the initial business revolves around phones, doing some smartphone hardware development and design, system software, and design work.

First, accumulate some technology before launching the phone brand.

Now Qi Hao suddenly reneged.

He wants to whip out ten billion.

The initial input costs are immense, twenty times compared to the originally planned fifty million.

And it also requires finding a particularly good park for placement.

Particularly good...

That's money, though.

Even if it's not buying, just renting, it's a huge investment.

"We can follow Zheng Ce's lead, go talk with them in the Tech City, and say we'll invest one billion initially, and within five years, no less than ten billion. Old Tian, entertainment is just a side dish, the internet is fleeting, the true starry sea is technology..."

Qi Hao began his performance.

"We don't have any foundation, putting so much money into it, aren't you afraid of it all going down the drain?"

Old Tian was mainly scared stiff.

When Zhonghao Entertainment started, it was only a few million in scale, projects of tens of millions were all done with Feiyang Media.

Are we now at the level where we can casually throw around a billion?

"Don't worry, I have a handle on it, you go find Manager Dong of the bank, see if they can approve such an amount, I can use Maotai's stock as collateral."

Although Maotai hasn't risen much, it's always been as stable as an old dog, and for banks, it's the best collateral asset.

"If you take a loan to spend on luxuries, they'll definitely not approve, but if you use it for scientific research, there's no reason to refuse, now is the time when tech companies willing to invest in research are being strongly supported."

The "Hanxin No.1" fraud case was so sensational, yet it didn't stop more from following after.

Qi Hao wasn't someone who just appeared out of nowhere.

His family is wealthy, with personal assets already in the billions.

Along with the total valuation of multiple companies under his name, it easily adds up to several billion.

Moreover, Qi Hao doesn't lack tech genes.

He invested in Xiaomi, DJI, BYD, Tesla, Apple...

Now wanting to start a tech company and do research, how natural a thing is that, as long as there's related business linkage, just the orders from allies can feed us well.

With Qi Hao saying so, Old Tian naturally complied.

The loan progress went very smoothly, Qi Hao mortgaged a part of his assets, successfully securing the loan agreement.

The billion wasn't transferred all at once.

Even if you take it and don't spend it, you still have to count interest.

Normally, you take as much as you need from the bank.

And finding a location for the tech company was quite simple too.

The Zhongguancun Tech City was planned so large precisely to promote tech development.

When the newly formed Beihao Technology announced several research directions and began recruiting tech talent from major universities and society, not even a month had passed.

The speed was truly not average.

Lei Jun even specially called to inquire about the situation.

Qi Hao's move made him a bit uneasy.

When discussing cooperation back then, Qi Hao's side showed very professional mobile company management acumen.

He was always worried that Qi Hao's side might directly enter the game.

If everyone's business philosophy is similar, then they will inevitably become the biggest competitors.

Lei Jun, having been in the industry for many years, found Qi Hao's side the hardest to grasp.

If you say he's strong, he doesn't seem as strong as Penguin or Ali, at most slightly better than his Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is currently valued at 4 billion US Dollars.

While Qi Hao's conglomerate might possibly be worth two to three billion in total.

The main reason being Qi Hao's stock holdings give a direct view of the total wealth, while his assets are all film-related industries, which aren't worth much in the financing market.

Whether a film company is good or bad depends on the box office.

It's not an industry suited for storytelling.

With a company like Xiaomi, you could boast in a presentation that its market cap may exceed 50 billion USD in the future.

A film company working hard won't achieve that.

This year the total film market box office won't even exceed 15 billion RMB.

But if you say Qi Hao's side is weak, he has invested in so many quality companies that it's hard to underestimate the future potential.

Furthermore, Qi Hao's strategic vision astonished his peers; even Lei Jun wanted to invite Qi Hao to join his newly established venture capital company.

Lei Jun didn't want to become Qi Hao's competitor.

In his view, other competitors were fools, but Qi Hao absolutely wasn't.

Qi Hao reassured him a bit, telling him not to worry.

He stated that the new company will be involved in mobile-related business only in terms of software and hardware support, and that we'll be the best partners.

Lei Jun remained skeptical about this.

After all, no mobile company starts directly from the technical level.

The announced research directions are quite plentiful.

And they're not limited to mobile technology, including many projects that leave people puzzled.

And the company's recruitment seems to have no end.

Recruiting management, wanting technical gurus, even fresh graduates, as long as they're capable, are incorporated.

Head-hunting companies have all dubbed Beihao Technology as the golden VIP client.

Obvious signs of massive ambition.

Not only Lei Jun is paying attention to Beihao Technology.

But most are just watching, curious about what exactly this company intends to do.

Since September, the show 'You Who Came from the Stars' with less than thirty episodes has dragged on till the end of December.

The slow pace was mainly because Qi Hao was too busy.

Not only did he have to play director and actor, filming while editing, he also had to do tasks, review scripts, and handle many company-related matters.

He could only comfort everyone, claiming the TV series would have great quality, enough to become a classic.

It seems that in the future, he must reduce the number of roles he takes on.

Such are the costs of becoming a big shot.
