Chapter 302 Superman's Perfect Plan

To put it bluntly, this problem is easy to solve, which is to treat this company as a real third party.

The problem now is that although it is nominally a third-party chip design company, in fact, everyone subconsciously still regards this company as their own subsidiary.

It is nothing more than a subsidiary in which some competitors have invested.

It is precisely because this layer is not made clear that they have so many disputes.

“Run it as a true third-party chip design company and equip it with mature managers.

Each manufacturer cannot directly interfere with its operation.”

In fact, Chen Yuanguang had something else he wanted to say but didn't say it in the end, which is that if you are worried, you can give me a veto power.

This is also a kind of credit endorsement. When everyone’s interests cannot be aligned, a third party with super credit and no direct competition with them will come in and act as a referee.

Although other mobile phone manufacturers may also suspect that Chen Yuanguang and Lei Jun have too close a personal relationship and will favor Xiaomi in some key matters in the future, this preference is definitely better than Xiaomi hosting it.

“If we must intervene in some critical matters, we should take the form of voting.

My suggestion is not to have different voting rights based on shareholding ratio.

But as the initiator, no matter what your proportion is, you only have one vote.

If new energy vehicle companies are to be allowed in, they will also have one vote.

When the share ratio is only about money, the negotiation will be much faster.”

Chen Yuanguang's proposal was approved by Lei Jun: "I think this proposal is very good. I will talk to them later."

Why did Lei Jun think it was a good idea? Logically speaking, such a plan would be disadvantageous to him. Given Xiaomi's revenue and scale, and its close proximity to Chen Yuanguang, he would have to take a larger share.

Because what Lei Jun thought was that if Xiaomi cars and Xiaomi phones were counted separately, they could be counted as two votes.

You all only have one vote, I have two votes, and the initiative is in my hands.

As for NIO, which also makes mobile phones, what is the scale of NIO's mobile phones? Is it an independent company? It is more like a car key for NIO cars than a mobile phone.

Therefore, from Lei Jun's perspective, he is very willing to adopt this cooperation model. Even if the other parties are unwilling, he can say that this is Chen Yuanguang's idea.

Various bigwigs came to pay their respects one after another, and even the representatives from Yanjing who came to pay their respects asked Chen Yuanguang privately that if he wanted to send the old man to Babaoshan, it would be fine, to see if he had such intention.

Chen Yuanguang had already decided to send a man to the moon, so he declined all these offers.

This extremely high-standard mourning ceremony was photographed by on-site staff and posted online, quickly sparking heated discussions among netizens.

"All the people who went there were big shots! Liang Ma, Lei Jun, Baidu Li, whose funeral is this, and why are there so many big shots?"

"How come Zhu Xiaotong also attended on behalf of Musk? I saw Musk's name on the wreath outside. This is a very international style."

"Who made such a big fuss? Is there anyone this wealthy in Guangzhou?"

Everyone knows that if you are not a wealthy person, these photos would not be able to spread on the Internet.

It was banned from spreading at the source.

Netizens’ curiosity was soon answered. First, the self-media came out and said that this was Grandpa Chen Yuanguang.

At first, netizens were skeptical. After all, there are too many fake news on the Internet, and ordinary people will subconsciously become more vigilant after being deceived so many times.

When some traditional media’s Weibo accounts came out to speak out, netizens finally believed it.

The discussion about this matter on the Internet has become even more heated.

Netizens all lamented that their descendants will be treated differently after they become successful and die.

"I feel like Evergrande Xu is returning to his hometown to repair his ancestral graves."

"Xu can't compare at all. When he went back to his hometown to repair his ancestral tomb, at most the local officials came to see him. Guangshen, a big shot who has some connection with him, flew to Yangcheng specially to pay his respects."

"I am also from Yangcheng. I just want to know where the Chen family's ancestral tomb is buried. After my father dies, I will secretly bury him next to him. Then I will see if my descendants can produce a figure like the God of Light."

"Really? I don't expect to be at the level of Guangshen. My requirements are not that high. As long as I can reach the level of Guangshen during his university years, I will be satisfied if I can publish two CNS papers and get a teaching position at a local 985 university in Guangzhou."

"If you are in Guangzhou, ask for directions immediately. Once you have the exact latitude and longitude, it will be 50 yuan. If you want to make a reservation, please send me a private message."

Finally, despite this joking Weibo post, many netizens actually sent him private messages in the background, asking what the latitude and longitude were.

This caused the blogger to post a special Weibo post to clarify:
"Don't come to the backstage and ask me for the payment code or the longitude and latitude of the Guangshen ancestral tomb. I was just joking. If I knew, I would definitely not sell it to you for 50 yuan. Wouldn't I secretly occupy the Feng Shui treasure land over there?"

The simple belief of the old Chinese netizens, whether it is useful or not, just believe it first. For a figure like the God of Light to emerge, it must be more or less useful, right?
There are very few older Chinese netizens who have true faith, but there are quite a few who adhere to pragmatism.

Even the least superstitious young people don't mind running to the temple to burn some incense and pray for peace of mind before the exam.

Musk tweeted: "May Wright's grandfather rest in peace in another world"

“Light Mech Aerospace offers a very interesting lunar cemetery business model, and perhaps SpaceX will become their direct competitor.”

After paying his respects remotely, he posted this tweet which attracted the attention of netizens, and someone on Twitter asked him what it was.

He then responded below: "Wright is offering to bury some people on the moon, which sounds interesting."

Soon he replied: "In the short term, SpaceX will also provide similar services. As for the more distant future, I hope I am buried on Mars."

After Musk acquired Twitter and made it play a crucial role in the 2024 election, he reduced the frequency of speaking on Twitter in the following period.

This is a rare case of consecutive speeches.

For a time, both the media and the capital market became concerned about this matter.

The lunar cemetery is not difficult. NASA has already done it, and Guangjia Aerospace and SpaceX are also about to join the game, which has attracted the attention of the capital market.

Since NASA can do it, it means that any company can make this their business. Because after the technical problems of this business are solved, the biggest problem is how to find the target customer group and make them willing to pay for it.

There is no shortage of such agencies in America that specialize in providing services to top wealthy individuals, and they believe they can develop a new business.

We only act as an intermediary, helping interested wealthy people to contact relevant services and charging a certain fee.

The founders of some Silicon Valley companies that do space funerals have begun to give media interviews frequently, saying how experienced they are in this field, trying to gain visibility in this way.

After all, both Guangjia Aerospace and SpaceX are huge companies for them.

When an elephant dances, it can easily trample other creatures to death.

They hope to attract the market's attention in this way and take the opportunity to run to a grassland that the elephants have not yet had time to open up.

At the Greater Bay Area Forum held in Hong Kong, when Pony attended, a local Hong Kong reporter asked him about the lunar cemetery:
"Mr. Ma, a topic that has been discussed a lot on social media these days is that Musk tweeted that LightMe Aerospace is going to do the lunar cemetery business, and SpaceX is also going to enter this field.

I would like to ask you what you think about this matter. We have always known that you are very interested in space. In a hundred years, do you hope to be on the earth or on the moon? "

The Greater Bay Area Forum was created by Tencent. It was initiated and hosted by Tencent in 2017 and received strong support from Yanjing University.

Therefore, Pony almost always attends this forum in person every year.

This year is certainly no exception.

Pony smiled and said, "Yuan Guang mentioned this to me. As far as I know, your local Li Chaoren from Hong Kong has booked a spot on the moon with Guangjia Aerospace.

I am very interested in it. After all, I am in my fifties. If I live to be 100, I am already halfway there.

Someone sent me Musk’s tweet. I don’t want to go to Mars. Yuan Guang also told me at that time that when I die, not only Mars, but also places like Venus and Jupiter can be visited.

But if it is Venus or Jupiter, the most they can do is launch me into it. It is unrealistic to bury me on the land of these planets.

There is no land on the surface of Jupiter, it is a gas giant planet.

This is what I told Yuan Guang. I said those places were too far away and I would either be buried on the Earth or on the moon.

From the moon I can always see the earth.

This is better.”

Pony's interview further fueled the hype.

Because Li Chaoren was less than two years away from turning 100, he had indeed reached an age where no one would be surprised if he died.

After all, in the public's impression, he doesn't seem like a wealthy man who likes such new things.

From a business perspective, he is more like a landlord from the old days. Whether it is real estate, ports or basic service industries, he is essentially in the business of collecting rent.

Whether it is the Internet wave, smart phones, or new energy vehicles, there is no shortage of traditional wealthy people who have taken the lead in riding the trend, but Superman Li and his descendants have never thought of giving it a try.

Even the Cyberport that his son built in Hong Kong was essentially an attempt to use the Internet as a gimmick to speculate in land.

Therefore, the news that he had reserved the lunar cemetery shocked everyone.

Some netizens have already dug out the offer, which is $1 million to be buried on the moon. This price has also become a hot topic of discussion.

Not to mention $1 million, even if you have $ million, you will be considered wealthy in any country on earth.

Anyone who can spend $1 million to buy this service must have at least $10 billion in liquid funds, not to mention assets.

With all these factors combined, Chen Yuanguang, Musk, Pony and Li Chaoren, the elites created by the times, appeared one after another, and the matter surrounding the space funeral finally caused a tsunami-like discussion on the social media of the University of Tokyo.

Every well-known blogger on TikTok has been asked if they have reserved the lunar cemetery of Light Armor Aerospace.

For example, some bloggers who specialize in making videos about the experience of being a big shot will have @s in the background, asking them to go and experience it.

The most typical example is spending 4988 yuan to experience white ice coffee. He quickly made a joke to respond to this:

"Please forgive me, first of all, I am still young and I am not at the stage where I need to consider this. Even if I really want to bury it, I am not a little Karami, am I qualified to watch such a $100 million project? If I really have $100 million, why would I shoot a short video?
Please forgive me and stop sending me private messages in the background. "

There are many people like Lei Jun who @ him, and many people ask him whether he wants to support Chen Yuanguang's business.

He was obviously unwilling to be lonely, and shot a short video in response: "I have seen everyone's suggestions, and my junior brother also asked me if I wanted to experience it, and I could pay a deposit first.

I asked him how much the deposit was. He told me one million RMB. I thought it was so much, enough to buy four Xiaomi cars. I said I would talk to him about this when I was 70 years old.

So you guys don’t need to @ me for now.”

Lei Jun's internet sense is full. If it were other rich people, even if they didn't want to pay a deposit, they wouldn't be so natural in product placement, and they would even say it only takes one million? Because compared with 100 million US dollars, one million RMB is really a small amount.

For those who would be asked personally by Chen Yuanguang whether they would consider it, one million is no big deal at all.

On Weibo, people focus on different things. Douyin focuses on entertainment, while Weibo has some discussions on social issues.

"I hesitate whether to add a fried egg to my noodles in the morning. It's hard to imagine that someone would spend $100 million to buy a piece of clay buried on the moon."

"Supermen live in villas in the Mid-Levels, with luxury cars to drive them in and out. They usually look down on the world from the French windows on top of their office buildings in Central, Hong Kong. They even go to the moon to continue looking down on the world after they die.

I think the wealthy class is no longer the same species as ordinary people. Their lives are unimaginable to ordinary people. Even in the age of self-media, self-media can only film the lives of people with a net worth of 100 million yuan at most. As for the higher-end ones, if they don’t reveal it themselves, ordinary people have no way of knowing it.”

Such a statement clearly ignores Principal Wang.

Principal Wang’s daily life and hobbies are no different from those of ordinary coal bosses.

"Superman is Superman, he has a plan for everything. He was able to flee from China to England, and then flee back to Hong Kong from England before the chaos in England. He was able to sell off his arm after the real estate bubble, and he was able to write Huangtai's melon at a critical time. How could he pick up such a maxim with predictive nature?

I even took into account the possibility that I might be dug out from the ground a hundred years later. In order to eliminate this possibility, I had to send myself to the moon. When I go to the moon, you people who are hostile to me will never be able to come, right?

It is obvious that Superman is thinking this way. You are so smart, aren't you afraid that your descendants will take the blame for you?"
