Chapter 380 Two years later
Time passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it will be two years later.
Many things have happened in the past two years, both at the national level, individual level, and even the general trend of the world and the world pattern.
Even, it was once on the verge of destruction and almost broke out in a disaster that destroyed humanity.
The specific reason is still related to the rise of Xia Kingdom.
First of all, in two years, the planting area of ryegrass was close to 30 million mu, and since then there has been endless food and meat.
And every year, we have spare time to export 30 million tons of grain and 10 million tons of meat, becoming a major exporter of grain.
In addition, domestic food prices have fallen steadily and the technological power has increased significantly. The GDP growth rate exceeds 6% every year. The space station was built in advance, and four aircraft carriers were built and put into service within two years, with a total number of 6... The strength in all aspects is soaring.
Even the total GDP volume exceeds the most powerful country, the lighthouse country.
The current Xia Kingdom is no longer the so-called "quasi-superpower", but a real superpower!
So Lighthouse Kingdom almost went crazy.
After making crazy troubles and suffering considerable losses, I finally calmed down.
Then he sent a signal of alliance and peace, saying that the Xia Kingdom could be accepted equally, and a new global order would be constructed, and then there would be harmony, etc.
In short, after a shock, everything began to develop in a good direction. After all, there are only a few people who are not afraid of death.
Back to the individual.
Let me first talk about Lao Yang. His development in the past two years is very good. The company has been on track and has made more and more money. He has become a well-known domestic entrepreneur, and his value is increasing every year.
Naturally, the secret of ryegrass seeds was finally exposed.
Not only was the secret exposed, but hundreds of seeds were leaked and planted by people, and even stolen abroad. In a short period of time, it was quickly promoted and planted in more than 50 countries.
However, one characteristic of ryegrass is that it pours cold water on many people, and the dream of getting rich is shattered.
On the one hand, ryegrass can only be planted in cold areas, and the growth environment is most suitable at 5 to 15 degrees. Therefore, it cannot be planted in tropical areas, and all the seeds rot in the ground.
You can only choose to plant in spring and autumn, and the temperature changes cannot be too severe.
This eliminates a large number of suitable planting areas, and only some areas are left, which can be planted for two seasons a year, and the yield is not high.
The most important thing is that ryegrass is not resistant to pests and diseases. It can be easily killed by microorganisms in the soil and cannot secrete harmful substances to resist pests and diseases.
To achieve high yields, soil must be disinfected or soil with low microbial content must be used.
In addition, if you want to plant ten or eight seasons a year, you must build insulation greenhouses, invest a lot of manpower, and strictly manage them. In the wild environment, you can plant them for as many as two seasons, and the yield is touching and the benefits are very low.
Under various limitations, even if the planting prospects of ryegrass are extremely bright and the return rate is amazing, no one can do it. He can spend a lot of capital, and then in the poor low profit margins, he can only run volume, and survive and occupy a place in the market with a large amount of money.
But with just one cost advantage, Lao Yang's agricultural company beat up countless companies of the latecomers and even started a fierce price war, leaving the latecomers without profit and losing all their money, but they still have meager profits to make a surplus.
This is the "first-action advantage", there is no need to take action later.
In this way, Lao Yang's company has completely gained a foothold in the agricultural field and even fought a fierce cost-price war, blocking the path of latecomers.
Also, it is worth mentioning that Lao Yang's wife, Bai Xiaojing, has grown into a role that looks like a goddess in the past two years and has a goddess-like wrist.
She had already grasped Lao Yang's heart firmly, and had no intention of fooling around outside, and became a wholehearted licking dog.
Even Zhong Wanyun, who was in that king level, launched unwilling challenges repeatedly, not to mention making any money, she was cheated of more than one billion yuan. She fell deeper and deeper, and gradually became Lao Yang's licking dog, hoping to get mercy, but she was still rejected and disdainful, becoming the most disgusting person in Lao Yang's eyes, and she didn't want to meet him when she met.
Perhaps it was touched by sincerity, Bai Xiaojing gradually got to the Li family more times, giving some sweet rewards little by little. Once she made a mistake, she would be severely punished and repeatedly tug-of-war. Recently, she finally moved back to the Li family and soon became pregnant with her second child. The relationship between the two gradually got on track.
In other words, Bai Xiaojing completed her husband-training journey, and no one dared to despise her in the Li family anymore, and she vaguely dominated.
On the other side,
The most common thing happened was Xu Ming.
He can be described in one word in the past two years: busy.
Two words are very busy.
I have been busy for two consecutive years and rarely have any leisure time.
On the one hand, it took about half a year to learn and be familiar with the plane's driving. After mastering it perfectly, I took Lan Mengxin around the world for three months, leaving 16 time and space anchors, and obtained nearly 100 high-value plants and minerals. It can be said that I have gained a lot.
Then he took Li Yiqing around the world for a week, and made many major discoveries, setting up 10 time and space anchor points.
Then I took a group of people and traveled around.
We also found four settlements with excellent environments and spent several months renovating four villas for vacation.
A Wanhua Valley has an endless sea of flowers, with a beautiful environment and a stunning fragrance that never dissipates all year round.
The second is Hot Spring Mountain. There is a natural hot spring here. The water temperature is only over 30 degrees and the water quality is excellent. So I set up a hot spring and recuperate resort and often come to take a bath.
The third is a prairie, which has a vast grassland with an area of more than one million square kilometers. The environment is suitable, the terrain is flat and endless, and you can gallop freely and broaden your mind.
The fourth is the fruit wine pool, which has tens of thousands of fruit trees growing next to a pool. The fruits on the trees are ripe and easy to fall, and have a high water content. Many fall into the pot, making a pool of green fruit wine, and even the best wine, like fairy wine.
above,
Travel + building four villas took Xu Ming more than a year and did not stop almost every day.
In addition, because no measures were taken later, Li Yiqing and Lan Mengxin became pregnant one after another. In early June and at the end of June of the second year, they gave birth to a daughter and a son, named Xu Jia and Xu Fei respectively.
Li Yiqing became the mother of two girls, and Lan Mengxin became the mother of two boys... Both of them were quite depressed.
So Li Yiqing vowed that the third one must give birth to a son.
Lan Mengxin said that if she had another son, she would follow her surname, which would be considered as a renewal of the Lan family.
Xu Mingze said that if he gave up randomness, he could operate at the cellular level and use the DNA judgment method to screen. If he wanted to have a son, he would have a son, and if he wanted to have a daughter, he would be a daughter.
However, his idea was rejected by the two women, and they still felt that it was a little more natural. It was better to have a random day, and it was not appropriate to intervene in person. This kind of thing was best decided by God, which contained endless possibilities and creativity, and could not be stopped or changed by artificially.
Seeing that they were like this, Xu Ming gave up the plan in his mind. He didn't care anyway, he just needed to be responsible for sowing and didn't have to interfere with too much.
In the past two years, Xu Ming has another main task, which is to make money.
On average, you have to make tens of billions of dollars a year.
Investment in the chip manufacturing field is still far beyond Xu Ming's estimate.
But even a high-standard dust-free production workshop requires more than 10 billion yuan, and does not include internal equipment, it just builds a shell.
The procurement costs of equipment have increased even more, especially some imported equipment. Although export restrictions have been lifted, the price of equipment that the high-end Xia Kingdom cannot produce for the time being has increased by five or ten times. It is simply a one-time transaction and is unwilling to give up if it fails to make enough profits.
Especially lithography machines, the most advanced euv lithography abroad, although the export ban has been lifted, it is sold to Han Guo for 200 million yuan per unit. The technology companies sold to Xia Guo for 1.8 billion US dollars and 2 billion US dollars per unit. They have played serious double standards in terms of price and carried out naked discrimination.
Xu Ming’s Menghai Chip Company is helpless and cannot bear such an outrageous price. Moreover, even if you buy it, if you encounter some minor problems, an accident, and need maintenance, the cost of asking foreign engineers to repair it is a sky-high price. You have to treat them as an old man and have to tolerate their delays. The price of spare parts is also extremely high.
Buying the top euv lithography machine abroad is simply asking for trouble for yourself.
I can only buy a few backward domestic lithography machines from a domestic technology company and will use them as soon as possible. I will wait patiently for the development of domestic euv lithography machines in the future and break the blockade.
As for other chip manufacturing equipment, it is also based on the principle that if the performance difference is not too large, buy domestic equipment if you can buy domestic equipment.
As the expenses of chip manufacturing companies increased dramatically, Xu Ming had to try his best to make money.
Therefore, the production of very sweet water had to be increased to 400,000 bottles per day, with a factory price of 50 per bottle, a daily income of 20 million yuan, and a net profit of nearly 5 billion yuan per year... It was just that the price increase was too high, which angered many customers, resulting in the product being somewhat unsalable and losing some customers, but it was still barely sold, especially after opening up the foreign market, it was particularly popular among some big dog players in the Middle East.
The second is the money for selling gold and jewelry, which is more than 3 billion yuan a year.
Plus I borrowed it from Lao Yang.
As well as some of the income that Xu Ming himself occasionally struggled, he took out some of his old capital from Chen Feiman, which could barely support him.
But every time I want to use my old capital and the money in my principal account, Chen Feiman was not very happy. Instead, he asked Xu Ming to provide more gold and try to open source, instead of thinking about leveraging my old capital. In addition, the chip company that is like a giant gold-eating beast should not continue to do it. The risk is very high. It will be difficult to survive if it occupies a place in the market...
In fact, if it were in the past, Chen Feiman would not dare to say these unsavvy words, dare not refute Xu Ming's meaning, and even reluctantly take out Xu Ming's principal... She didn't have such courage.
But now there are some.
On the one hand, after a long period of treatment, her figure and appearance have become graceful and charming, and are better than the fairy. Even compared to Li Yiqing, she is not inferior to her. She can be compared with her beauty and is extremely eye-catching.
With the distorted concept of today's society, appearance is justice, and handsomeness is able to do whatever she wants. With her face, even if she does the wrong thing, she will be at least 70% less guilty.
In addition, one day last year, she finally became Xu Ming's woman, giving her chastity, and the lonely man and widowed woman lived in the same room for two hours.
Then the feelings continue to deepen and gradually merge into one, both interests and feelings become inseparable.
Some time ago, Chen Feiman was pregnant and has been pregnant for three months. Not only was Xu Ming happy, but the Chen family was full of joy. It was a collective sigh of relief, as if they had won the gold medal for exemption.
In fact, everyone in the Chen family knew clearly that the interests of their family could no longer be separated from Xu Ming. They had to have a solid insurance, and it would be better to add a few locks.
6 tons of gold each year are worth more than 3 billion.
More than 50 boxes of jewelry are worth more than 1 billion per year.
However, if you have any share, the Chen family can get at least 10% of the benefits, that is, 400 million to 500 million.
It can almost allow the entire Chen family to live a well-off and prosperous life. Once the cooperation between the two parties is terminated, the Chen family will not fail, but their living standards will immediately be reduced by two levels and fall to the level of ordinary merchants.
They were uneasy before, and after being warned by Chen Feiman a few times, they were even more restrained. However, after learning that Chen Feiman was pregnant, they relaxed one after another, and financial management suddenly became chaotic. Various public accounts expenses increased, store profit margins decreased significantly, and a new wave of wool fetching began.
Of course, Chen Feiman was harsh and scolded several of them for being too overly harsh. However, because he was afraid of moving and lifting, he could only restrain his temper. He did not feel any pain or itchy, and naturally he had no deterrence, and the number of followers was increasing.
The Chen family started a very good life.
...
This day.
Lan Mengxin, who had just gotten off work, found Xu Ming and said that she had a good way to accelerate the R&D speed of chip manufacturing companies.
"Today I asked a few professional technical experts, because everything starts from scratch and starts from the basics. It will take more than three years to cultivate and run-in a professional talent team, and it is difficult to go forward quickly."
"In addition, because of the large number of backward equipment in China, we can only start with the very backward 28-nanometer chip process, which is more than 20 years behind mainstream technology. According to this situation, it is very good to tie overseas within ten years, even if it can be promoted to 12 nanometers, but now the most advanced mainstream process is 3 nanometers, and we are still behind for four or five generations and have no market competitiveness at all."
"If we want to break the dilemma, we must take some measures and measures to speed up the development of chips. At least we must increase the R&D efficiency by more than twice. In 7 years, we can complete more than 15 years of work for others and narrow the technological gap to within one generation!"
Chapter completed!
