Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Peng Chunting is in her thirties, at the peak of her career, with outstanding appearance and vigor. It was also a coincidence that she came to work at Ruixue Interactive Entertainment. During the May Day holiday, Peng Chunting accompanied her bestie to the talent market to look for a job, and found out that Ruixue Interactive Entertainment was looking for a general manager. After looking at the requirements, it seemed that she met all of them, and the salary was more than twice as high as her current job. So what was there to hesitate about? She decisively changed jobs.

"Hello, Sister Peng. I'm still a student and know nothing about business. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future." Qiao Ruixue stretched out her hand and shook hands with Peng Chunting, saying with a smile.

"Mr. Qiao is too modest. Although you are still a student, your talent in algorithm research and software development is better than many technical experts. Our company's Toutiao software is based on the intelligent recommendation algorithm invented by the three of you founders. This is why it is so popular among similar software. In the future, we will learn from each other, encourage each other, and work together to make Ruixue Interactive Entertainment bigger and stronger." Although Qiao Ruixue is young, Peng Chunting dare not underestimate her at all. Not to mention Qiao Ruixue's technical strength, just because she has a brother who is the richest man in the country, it is enough to crush most entrepreneurs.

Qiao Ruixue and Peng Chunting exchanged a few pleasantries and soon started talking about the company's situation.

"Now the number of users of Toutiao has exceeded 20 million, and is still growing at a rate of one million per month. This trend is quite encouraging. However, with the increase in users, our spending on broadband and server resources is also increasing rapidly. If this trend continues, the funds in the company's account will only be enough to last until the end of the year," said Peng Chunting worriedly.

"We have such a large user base, so we should be able to make a lot of money from advertising, right? Isn't it enough to cover the company's operating funds?" Qiao Ruixue asked with some confusion.

"Toutiao's user base is growing rapidly, and it's not time to monetize traffic yet. Improving user experience, fighting competitors, and capturing more market share are our current priorities. In order to improve the user experience of the software, we must be restrained in advertising, and revenue will naturally not increase." Peng Chunting explained the stakes to Qiao Ruixue, and then continued: "According to the current spending trend, we must complete the second round of financing before 14, so that we have money to continue spending."

Qiao Ruixue couldn't help but frowned. "Besides raising funds, is there no other way? Once other funds are introduced, the control of the company will be further dispersed. Other capital will not support us unconditionally like my brother does."

At this time, Qiao Ruida interrupted and said, "Our Ruida Group has recently developed a server that uses graphene chips as processors. Its performance is more than a hundred times that of existing top servers, but its power consumption and price are similar to those of current servers. I can rent a batch of new servers for you to use, so that your expenditure on server resources can be reduced to about one-tenth of the current level. As for broadband, perhaps you can contact the radio and television company. I heard that they are about to obtain a broadband network operating license. In the early stages of business expansion, in order to attract corporate users, there should be considerable discounts."

"Really? That's great! If the expenses on servers and broadband are greatly reduced, it will be possible for Ruixue Interactive Entertainment to break even or even make a small profit. Then we don't have to worry about funds."

All entrepreneurs hate financing, because financing means further dilution of their shares and further reduction of their control over the company. All entrepreneurs cannot do without financing, because only with money can the company survive the difficult initial development and continue to grow and develop. Of course, if they can solve the funding problem through other means without giving up shares, no entrepreneur will refuse it.

In the following time, Peng Chunting called all the company employees to hold a meeting and formally introduced Qiao Ruixue, the chairman, to everyone. Everyone was more curious than in awe of Qiao Ruixue, a chairman who was too young and too beautiful. There are many young people starting businesses in the Internet field now, but those like Qiao Ruixue, who have just graduated from high school, are rare. Perhaps only Qiao Ruida, who had just founded Ruida Technology Company, could be compared.

Qiao Ruixue had no experience in company management and had no intention of intervening in this area. However, she was quite creative in software development. She believed that with the popularization of 4G mobile networks and smart phones, live broadcasting and short videos would become the next hot spot. At the meeting, Qiao Ruixue proposed that the R&D department initiate a project to develop a new software that combines live broadcasting and short video functions. Her intelligent recommendation algorithm could also be applied to this new software to improve user experience and increase user stickiness.

Qiao Ruida, who was also present at the meeting, was stunned after hearing Qiao Ruixue's speech. He thought to himself: Sister, are you a reborn person like me? You said you created Toutiao, but it seems that you don't want to let go of TikTok. You are trying to follow other people's paths and leave them with nowhere to go.

Although Qiao Ruixue's idea for the new software is still relatively rough, the general direction is correct. It is not difficult to develop it, launch it to the market, and be accepted by users. As for whether it can become as popular as Douyin in the previous life and sweep the world, this is not something Qiao Ruida can predict. There is a saying in the entertainment industry that is quite insightful, "Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on fate", and this saying is also applicable to the software industry. If a software wants to be popular and sweep the world, in addition to being excellent enough and powerful enough, the right time, place, and people are all indispensable.

This was the first time that Chairman Qiao Ruixue attended a company meeting today, and it was also the first time that she made a suggestion. Naturally, no one objected, so the proposal to develop short video software was supported by all employees and was officially launched.

After the meeting, it was time to get off work. Qiao Ruida drove Qiao Ruixue away from Hailong Building. On the way to the car, Qiao Ruixue asked nervously: "Brother, is my speech this afternoon okay?" "Of course, your suggestion is very good. I also think that live broadcast and short videos will have great potential in the next few years. If these two projects are managed well, it is not impossible to create another Tencent or Alibaba. Take the official live broadcast room of our Ruida Group as an example. Every time a press conference is held, tens of millions of netizens gather in the live broadcast room. This proves that netizens nowadays can accept the form of live broadcast and like to watch live broadcast." Qiao Ruida is a reborn person, so he naturally knows how great the potential of live broadcast and short videos is. It's just that it's only been 13 years now, and there are no successful companies in these two fields that can be imitated. They can only rely on Ruixue Interactive Entertainment to grope forward.

"I don't have the ambition to create another Tencent or Alibaba. I just want to keep the company going and make some money to meet my daily expenses." Qiao Ruixue is just a girl who just graduated from high school and has no intention of becoming a business woman. Maybe after running the company for a long time, her ideas will change.

Half an hour later, the sports car returned to the courtyard. This afternoon, Du Qingqing cleaned up the room in the backyard and arranged for Qiao Ruixue to live in it.

In the following days, Qiao Ruida was busy with work and did not have much time to accompany her sister. However, Du Qingqing had resigned from her position as deputy manager of Ruida Group and was now only responsible for the operation of Ruida Charity Foundation, so she had a lot more free time. These days, Du Qingqing had been accompanying her sister Qiao Ruixue, driving her to various activities, accompanying her shopping, and visiting the scenic spots in Beijing. After spending a long time together, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law quickly warmed up, and now they have become good friends who can talk about anything.

Half a month later, Qiao Ruixue left the capital and returned to her hometown, Decheng City. Before leaving, Qiao Ruixue handed a stack of sports car design drawings to Qiao Ruida, asking him to customize the sports car according to them. After getting the drawings, Qiao Ruida just flipped through them casually and was shocked. Qiao Ruida only asked her sister to design the interior of the sports car herself, but Qiao Ruixue changed the car shell, interior, seats, and even part of the car layout. Except for the chassis and power system, it is not an exaggeration to say that she redesigned a sports car. However, her sister's aesthetics are still online. The sports car she designed is full of futuristic science fiction style. Overall, it looks like a science fiction aircraft, mysterious, beautiful, and impactful.

Such a sports car can definitely be built, and its safety is also guaranteed, after all, the changes to the frame, chassis and power system are not significant. However, it is a bit troublesome to put this car on the road, because its appearance has changed too much compared to the Roadster sports car, and no one would believe it if it is the same sports car. If you want to put it on the road, you can only treat it as a brand new sports car and go through various certifications again.

Qiao Ruida scanned the design drawings one by one, entered them into the computer, and transmitted them to Ma Chicheng through the company's internal communication software. He then stated the requirements and left the rest of the problems to him to worry about.

Qiao Ruida has recently focused most of his energy on Ruida Aerospace. Under his leadership, the R&D team has completed the production and testing of the first stage, second stage, and fairing of the Suzaku launch vehicle, and the only thing left is to choose an opportunity to conduct an overall launch test. At this time, a new problem was placed in front of Qiao Ruida, that is, what payload should be carried on the first launch of the Suzaku rocket. Of course, it is also possible to carry nothing, or to carry a non-satellite payload such as a car, after all, Musk has done such a thing. It’s just that the cost of a Suzaku rocket is over 100 million yuan. Even if the first and second stages are successfully recovered, the cost of launching it once is more than 10 million yuan. Spending so much money to send some useless things into space is really contrary to Qiao Ruida’s frugal style.

If you want the Suzaku rocket to play a role, launching satellites is undoubtedly the best way. However, the Suzaku launch vehicle is, after all, a newly developed rocket, and it is the first time that a full rocket has been launched, so its safety cannot be guaranteed. It is basically impossible to undertake commercial satellite launch missions from outside, and no one will take risks with expensive satellites. Since there is no satellite launch business from outside, we can only think of ways based on our own needs. So, do the Ruida Group and its subsidiaries use satellites?

This is true. First of all, Ruida Automobile Company needs a new set of positioning satellites to improve the positioning accuracy of the car and increase the safety of autonomous driving. It would be even better if this set of positioning satellites can solve the communication problem between the car computer and the server cluster. In this way, the LV4 level autonomous driving function can be launched. New vehicles such as unmanned taxis and unmanned logistics vehicles can also be gradually put on the market.

Secondly, Ruida Technology Company needs a communication satellite to provide satellite calling and texting services for mobile phones. Ruida series mobile phones have opened up the market worldwide with their powerful performance and low price, and their sales are very impressive. However, competitors are also catching up. Apple and TSMC have cooperated and have used DUV lithography machines to create 7nm mobile phone chips, which are likely to be used in Apple's next generation of mobile phones. ASML of the Netherlands also announced that it has basically solved the mass production problem of EUV lithography machines and will ship in batches by the end of the year. With the efforts of these upstream manufacturers, it is believed that mobile phone processors with 7nm or even 5nm processes will soon appear on the market. By then, the performance advantage of Ruida mobile phones will not be so great. In this case, how to maintain the market position of Ruida mobile phones? Differentiated competition is a very good idea. Adding satellite communication functions is undoubtedly an excellent selling point for mobile phone differentiation.

Secondly, Ruida Aerospace also needs some positioning and communication satellites to provide positioning and tracking and control services for its own rockets and satellites. Especially when the aerospace field develops in depth and begins deep space exploration, whether it has its own deep space tracking and control network will have a huge impact.

Considering the needs of the above three companies, developing a satellite with integrated positioning and communication functions is the best choice. If such a satellite with extremely high requirements is customized by a domestic or foreign satellite development company, it will cost a lot and take a long time, at least half a year. Just looking at this time, Qiao Ruida cannot accept it. The launch test of the Suzaku carrier rocket is imminent, so there is no such long time to customize the satellite.

"It seems that I can only activate the golden finger again and copy a satellite. I don't know if I can find a satellite that meets the requirements on the Internet in 20 years."

Qiao Ruida closed his eyes slightly, opened the system panel with his mind, selected the browser option, and entered the words "communication + navigation" on the homepage to search. Hundreds of thousands of search results immediately popped up, and the first search result was a piece of news "Beidou fifth-generation satellite completes networking, positioning and communication functions, unique in the world."
