Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chen Pingjiang gave enough face to the investment negotiation team from He City and improved the reception standards by a lot.

He attended in person and accompanied the negotiation team throughout the process, and visited Renren, Orange Technology, Jiuzhou Auto, Pangu AI and other affiliated groups.

This surprised the relevant staff of Heshi City and made them feel proud at the same time.

"I misjudged you. I originally thought that Mr. Chen and our secretary had an average relationship at best. Now it seems that it is much more than that. I watched a TV station's news report about the leaders' visit, and the treatment of the two was almost the same."

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry. Last time, our Science and Technology Bureau sent someone here, but they didn't even bow at the door. They were politely sent away after a meal. And you can't be angry."

"Normally, haha, guess who I met? I met people from Yucheng. They came last time and they still wanted to come this time. Seeing how we were received, their eyes almost popped out. It felt great!"

"By the way, this project is not going away, right?"

"It's definitely not gone. The rest is just a matter of going through the motions."

……

Yan Liming was naturally very happy about Chen Pingjiang's grand reception.

Our son-in-law is really nice. He knows that Chen Pingjiang is helping him save face.

This method is simple but effective, and it has invisibly established the prestige of the new secretary.

Especially when Chen Pingjiang treated Yan Liming, his politeness was really jaw-dropping.

Why is this so!
Although it is true that Yan Liming is a secretary, what kind of people has Chen Pingjiang not met?
Now the city needs help!

In fact, the driving effect of a powerful multinational group on the regional economy is extremely exaggerated.

Give the simplest example.

Several years later, the annual GDP of Nanshan District in Shenzhen reached 8500 billion yuan, directly surpassing several provinces with lower rankings.

Tencent alone accounts for 7.08% of the local GDP, and this is just a number on paper.

What’s beyond the numbers on paper?

How much local GDP can be driven by the countless small and micro enterprises that rely on Tencent and have taken root in Nanshan District?

How much consumption can be driven by the food, clothing, housing and transportation of more than 100,000 employees?
How much value-added tax, corporate income tax, and personal income tax can these companies and individuals pay?

Or maybe Shenzhen’s municipal finances are very abundant?

Looking back today, we can see the economic boost that Chen Pingjiang's companies have brought to Wujiang District.

This is also the confidence that enables Yan Liming to rise higher.

Last year, Renren's annual revenue reached 1271 billion yuan, Zhizhen Catering's total revenue was 226 billion, and Orange Technology's revenue was exaggerated, reaching 2390 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.8%.

The rest of the companies are too lazy to count.

After various conversions, the groups under Chen Pingjiang together account for more than half of Wujiang District’s GDP!
This number is not an exaggeration.

Directly or indirectly, it drove the GDP growth rate of Wujiang District to 34% last year, and it is still growing rapidly.

The demonstration effect has been created, which can attract a steady stream of companies and various talents to settle down.

in this way……

I mean, no one has any objection to Chen Pingjiang acting arrogantly in Wujiang District and Dongjiang City, right?

How could one not be surprised that such a person was so polite to a city secretary?
Both sides acted quickly. Two days later, Chen Pingjiang mobilized a group of elite soldiers from all over the country to accompany the Heshi negotiation team to Heshi for a field investigation.

This group of people include Peng Xiaobo, He Guanghui, Zhang Xiaoping, Wang Jianmeng, and several other senior aerospace-related talents.

The team leader is naturally Xu Rui.

Although he currently holds the title of Chen Pingjiang's secretary and director of the Dong Office, his main task is to coordinate the early preparations for the commercial aerospace company.

What made Xu Rui even happier was that during this meeting, the big boss had made it clear that he would be the first CEO after the new group was prepared and established.

It is worth mentioning that the new group has been registered and its headquarters is located at No. 258 Ronghua South Road, Yizhuang. Its full name is Galaxy Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.

What is even more astonishing is that such a brand-new company has obtained all aerospace access qualifications in the shortest time, which is extremely fast.

Chen Pingjiang certainly played a role in this, but more importantly, it was the country's resources that were tilted to fill the gap in commercial aerospace.

The Galaxy Space Project inspection team consisted of 9 people and arrived in Heshi on the same day by train.

This news shocked Mayor Lu Chenyu greatly.

He had known for a long time that the negotiation team was making good progress in Dongjiang, but until the contract was signed, there would be no conclusion to the matter.

But I didn't expect that the other party acted so quickly and the inspection team had already arrived.

From a big picture perspective, this is definitely good news. Once the project is implemented, it will be a political achievement for him as the mayor.

But Lu Chenyu felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Once Galaxy Aerospace's rocket assembly workshop and Qianfan Satellite subsidiary are established, it will inevitably add unparalleled prestige to Yan Liming. Frankly speaking, this is something he does not want to see.

As the mayor, Lu Chenyu originally thought that the position would fall on his head. After all, no one in the city could surpass his prestige.

However, no matter how much he planned, he didn't expect that Yan Liming would be parachuted down from above.

After making inquiries from many sources, Lu Chenyu also learned that this was an approval made by the bigwigs of the provincial party committee. He felt extremely upset during those days.

…………

Just three days later, the signing ceremony of the Galaxy Space Launch Vehicle Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Base and Qianfan Satellite Manufacturing Project was held on a large open space in Heshi High-tech Zone.

A groundbreaking ceremony was also held at the same time.

The speed is dizzying.

Such large projects often require preliminary demonstration, field investigation, and condition negotiation before they can be signed. Even the groundbreaking ceremony has to come later!
As a result, the groundbreaking ceremony began at the same time as the signing of the contract.

The project parties have not been found yet and their qualifications have not been approved.

But it doesn’t matter. Once the project is given the green light, it’s not a big deal.

"The signing and foundation laying of two projects at the same time is not only another boost to accelerate the realization of Hecheng's commercial aerospace industry to "take off" and "fly to the cloud", but also another new achievement in developing new quality productivity in accordance with local conditions. The launch vehicle intelligent manufacturing industrial base project, which was laid this time, will become one of the most advanced industrial forces for liquid rockets in Hecheng after completion; the Qianfan Technology Satellite Manufacturing Project, which was signed and landed, will attract more industry chain customers to invest in Hecheng, and better promote the extension, supplement and strengthening of Hecheng's commercial aerospace industry."

Xu Rui, CEO of Galaxy Aerospace, said, "We are very optimistic about the development prospects here. We will continue to deepen the regional layout, rely on technological innovation, model innovation and application scenario innovation, and work hand in hand with partners to make new and greater contributions to the development of China's commercial aerospace industry."

At the same time, this press release was disclosed on the official websites of major news media in He City and Jiangnan Province. What’s even more exaggerated is that it was also listed on the hot search lists of Weibo and Renren.

"Damn, they made a big move without making any noise. What's the situation with this Galaxy Rocket and Qianfan Satellite?"

"I just checked. It's a newly registered company with a registered capital of 3 million RMB. The legal person is Xu Rui, but I can't find out his background." "Oh my god, has anyone in China finally started to work on commercial aerospace? That's right. If they don't, the space shuttle will be left far behind."

"Who is Kongcha?"

“SpaceX!”

"..."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but it's too late to start now. Musk has been involved in commercial spaceflight since 04, and he has received countless orders. Not only has he developed liquid rockets, he is also researching recyclable technology and Starlink. He has the money, the people, the orders, and what can we use to compete with him? I used to think that space technology was something very high-end, but I was completely stunned when I saw the Dragon spacecraft docking with the International Space Station."

"It's Musk, the light of mankind. Look at him, he is an entrepreneur with ideals and ambitions. In addition to SpaceX, he also invented new energy vehicles. We in China can only follow his example, but we are afraid that we won't even understand it!"

"Our domestic entrepreneurs only care about the money in people's pockets, making games, and delivering food. They don't have any so-called ideals, beliefs, or ambitions. I hope to see the colonization of Mars in my lifetime, so that my life will not be in vain."

"What should we do? We can't just give up and surrender. But to be honest, I don't think it's a good idea because it's too late."

"It may not work for others, but this is Chen Pingjiang's company, so it should be okay, right?"

"What the hell? Is this Boss Chen's business? Is the information reliable?"

"My friend found out that the major shareholder of Galaxy Aerospace is a shell company, which is wholly owned by Tianyuan Capital, which is Chen Pingjiang's private property. Galaxy Aerospace holds 72% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders are all state-owned enterprises."

"Chen Pingjiang, I do have confidence in him, but..."

"It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time. It turns out that he was hiding in the dark and quietly set off such a big firework!"

Because someone is leading the public opinion, this directly leads to the related news constantly being ranked higher on the hot search list.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. When it comes to domestic business, the three names Chen Pingjiang cannot be avoided.

After all, this person's record is so impressive that he has a bunch of brainless fans.

Chen Pingjiang is also the only outstanding technological figure in China, if compared with Musk on the other side of the ocean.

The affirmative debaters believe that the three words "Chen Pingjiang" are a guarantee, and other people who engage in commercial aerospace are probably just telling stories, seeking to go public, and then raising money to cash out. But Chen Pingjiang is not short of money. Since he is engaged in commercial aerospace, he naturally wants to make some achievements.

The opposing debaters believe that even Chen Pingjiang cannot forcibly bridge the generation gap in technology, not to mention that SpaceX has the support of NASA.

Of course, there are also some more unpleasant things said, including some public intellectuals who mocked Chen Pingjiang to the utmost and praised Musk.

After all, this is an era where public intellectuals are rampant!
Even in 2024, when the country's soft and hard power have increased, there will still be a lot of Western-worshipping dogs.

After all...

At this time, the filters of Youth Digest and Reader have not been broken.

Fortunately, Chen Pingjiang is the big boss of Weibo, so these people are still restrained and don't do anything too exaggerated.

Chen Pingjiang looked at the news reposts all over the place and was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

These dog netizens have really sharp noses and they found it out so quickly.

Sometimes being too famous is not a good thing. Being too famous means you cannot and cannot afford to lose.

He didn't even dare to say that he could beat Musk or surpass SpaceX, but netizens are already full of confidence in him and have even shouted out slogans.

If we fail to catch up, the backlash of fame can be imagined.

This is both motivation and pressure.

To this day, Chen Pingjiang has begun to hide himself intentionally or unintentionally, and tries not to show up in public. Unless there is an important meeting that he cannot avoid, he refuses all other interviews and social engagements.

I used to be too high-profile, but now I have to learn to hide my edge and learn from Xiao Ma Ge.

…………

At 9 a.m. Pacific Time, Musk woke up in a mansion somewhere in Texas and habitually browsed today's Twitter.

After just two minutes of browsing, he unexpectedly saw a repost.

This is a repost in Chinese. Although he can't understand Chinese, he can understand photos!

There are two photos, one is of Chen Pingjiang, whom he has had a close friend for a long time, and the other is of a rocket!

Musk, realizing something was happening, quickly found software to translate it.

"Wow! He is here after all." Musk smiled and stared at Chen Pingjiang in the photo for a long time.

After thinking about it, Musk wrote a tweet.

"My friend, I'm waiting for you on Mars. Welcome to join the big family of commercial spaceflight."

Just two minutes later, a ding-dong sound was heard!
What caught my eye was a string of replies, and the avatar in front of the replies was Chen Pingjiang, dressed in a suit and with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see!"

The phrase “Long time no see” is a double entendre!
It means that the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time since they last separated in the United States.

It also refers to the long absence in commercial space projects.

Musk instantly became energetic and full of confidence. After packing up for a while, he was ready to go out.

Today is a big day, as the third test of the rocket recovery project will take place today.

Around 9 o'clock local time, Chen Pingjiang browsed the relevant Twitter messages and closed his laptop.

As expected, many people around the world are watching him, and any slight disturbance in the country will spread abroad immediately.

It's a good thing and a bad thing.

Some people supported him, while others mocked him, but everyone's expectations were at the initial stage, because Galaxy Rocket was just getting started after all.

Next, everyone will wait for his first performance.

It is almost foreseeable that if a liquid rocket is successfully developed, the initial launch will fail.

His world will be surrounded by malice!

"It really makes me worry!" Chen Pingjiang shook his head and sneered.

He could naturally hear Musk's words "I'll wait for you on Mars", and there was a hint of gloating in his tone, or perhaps he was watching the show.

Even in 2024, domestic commercial rocket companies have sprung up, some good rocket products have appeared, and some companies have successfully tested launches.

But these companies are like elementary school students in front of SpaceX! (End of this chapter)
