My Age of Investment

In mid-February, Xia Jingxing returned to China from Europe.

He went back home first, stayed with his parents and grandparents for two days, and then went straight to Beijing, the business base in China.

At this time, the New Year holiday has completely ended, and all employees of major industrial groups have returned to their posts and begun intense and busy work.

Xia Jingxing also devoted his whole body and soul to his work, checking and replying to emails in the Vision Capital Beijing office on the 36th floor of the China Merchants Building.

"Bang bang~"

Liu Xiaoduo knocked on the door and walked in, followed by two middle-aged men.

As soon as he saw the person coming, Xia Jingxing stood up immediately and held out his hands with a smile on his face: "Dr. Wang and Dr. Shen, on behalf of Fuxing Industrial Holdings Group, I welcome you two to join us. With these two talented people joining us, I think we can Sit back and relax.”

The news of Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang's resignation was officially released by Microsoft Research Asia yesterday, causing widespread heated discussion in the industry. Everyone is curious about which technology giant the two will join next.

Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang were very happy to see that Xia Jingxing valued them so much. They shook hands with Xia Jingxing and were polite.

Xia Jingxing invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa nearby, asked Liu Xiaoduo to make a pot of good tea, and then chatted with them.

"Microsoft isn't making things difficult for you, is it?"

Looking at Xia Jingxing with a concerned look on his face, Shen Xiangyang smiled and shook his head, "That's not true. Microsoft is still very proud and has not played any dirty tricks. It's just that Mr. Gates wants to invite me back to the United States to meet. I refused."

Xia Jingxing smiled. He was not surprised by this. Shen Xiangyang is a master in the field of artificial intelligence and is very prestigious in the industry. Such a great talent is about to change jobs. If he were Gates, he would probably personally intervene to retain him. .

"Mr. Gates asked me where I would go next, and I didn't hide it from him. I told him that I was going to join Renaissance Industries Holdings Group."

Looking at Xia Jingxing's slightly surprised look, Shen Xiangyang explained: "But don't worry, Mr. Xia, I didn't disclose our R\u0026D plan at all. Mr. Gates thought I was going to build a mobile phone."

Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this! It's okay. Mr. Gates has a good relationship with me. I will solve any problems in the future. You just need to lead the team to do research and development work."

Wang Jian asked impatiently: "Mr. Xia, when can we join?"

Xia Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You just resigned, don't you need to take a month or two off?"

Wang Jian waved his hand, "No, we have been taking a break in the past few months when we handed over the work. The earlier we join the company, the earlier we can produce scientific research results."

Xia Jingxing nodded solemnly. He was infected by Wang Jian's professionalism, but he still did not speak. He turned to look at Shen Xiangyang, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Shen Xiangyang's enthusiasm was no less than that of Wang Jian. He said with a smile: "Mr.

As he spoke, Shen Xiangyang straightened up and started doing chest expansion exercises.

Xia Jingxing smiled. He thought it was quite interesting to deal with such a master of science and technology. They were all straight to the point and not too fussy.

"Well, now that you two are ready, let's join the job sooner rather than later tomorrow and officially start work!"

Shen Xiangyang and Wang Jian looked at each other and smiled. Both of them hoped to come up with a scientific and technological achievement that would shock the industry as soon as possible, and to accomplish this feat in a Chinese company.

In China, there are not many entrepreneurs who have the strength to support them in realizing their scientific research dreams. They can be counted on one hand. Xia Jingxing is undoubtedly the most powerful among them and the most active in scientific research and development.

“Mr.

Shen Xiangyang smiled a little ashamed, because Xia Jingxing entrusted him to recruit as many people as possible from Microsoft Research Asia, but in the end he only brought so few people.

Xia Jingxing waved his hand magnanimously, "It doesn't matter. I have entrusted headhunters to recruit people from Google China Research Institute and Silicon Valley. As long as you are willing to spend money, people are not a problem."

Shen Xiangyang smiled, "Then I'll be relieved."

Xia Jingxing kept a smile on his face. He actually knew very well that if Shen Xiangyang was willing to use his strength, not only could he poach half of the more than a thousand engineers at Microsoft Research Asia, but he would have no problem recruiting two to three hundred people.

However, the other party abides by professional ethics and does not want to have a serious dispute with Microsoft. Xia Jingxing can also understand and support it, because how can you catch a sheep and pry it hard? After all, he and Gates are still good friends.

This time, we will dig Google China first, and then we will dig one or two hundred people from Microsoft Research Asia every year. If we learn to develop sustainably, we will not make the sheep bald, but new wool will grow quickly.

"Mr. Xia, are the R\u0026D funds for Fuxing Cloud Computing and Fuxing Artificial Intelligence... in place?"

Wang Jian's tone was a little hesitant. He actually felt that he was a little too direct in asking this, but it was just a habit.

Seeing Xia Jingxing staring at him, Wang Jiansan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I speak outright, so don't be offended!"

Xia Jingxing smiled and said nonchalantly: "How can I be surprised? You are the commander now. The soldiers and horses have not yet used the food and grass. You should pay attention to the logistics.

Don't worry, everything is ready, just wait. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jingxing stood up, picked up the office phone and made a call.

After a while, Fu Jixun opened the door and walked in. After saying hello to Xia Jingxing and the others, he found a seat and sat down.

He pulled out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Xia Jingxing, "Mr. Xia, this is the US$1 billion that Envision Capital America remitted to BOC Hong Kong just a few days ago."

Xia Jingxing took it, glanced at it, and handed the copied receipt to Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang.

Wang Jian quickly caught it with both hands and glanced at it. His first reaction was that there were so many zeros that his eyes were dazzled.

“Mr.

Not embarrassed to look further, Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang glanced at the numbers and handed the bills to Fu Jixun who was standing aside.

Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Huawei is quite willing to mess with scientific research! We will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future.

This US$1 billion is only the first phase of R\u0026D funding for cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Each of your two projects is US$500 million. Additional investment will be made in the future depending on the progress of R\u0026D.

After the two projects are developed, they still need to be commercialized, which is another huge expense.

But don’t worry, Fuxing Industrial Group will continue to invest, investing at least US$1 billion every year for 10 consecutive years. "

Xia Jingxing didn't dare to report too much for fear of scaring the two of them.

Despite this, Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang were still a little stunned. They were not people who had never seen money. The scientific research funds they handled every year were at least 100 million.

The one in front of me is better, it’s in units of tens of billions.

Wang Jian swallowed, "Mr. Xia... I have invested so much, so it won't put any financial pressure on you."

Shen Xiangyang recalled what he had just heard about "Vision Capital America" ​​and immediately understood.

"Fortunately, the pressure is not too great. As long as US$10 billion can be transformed into world-class technology, it will be worth it. After all, we are following the technical, industrial and trade route. We first develop the core technology and then commercialize the technology. "

Xia Jingxing said calmly: "Cloud computing and artificial intelligence are both cutting-edge technologies. If we wait until the technology matures to enter the market, we can only become an assembly factory."

Wang Jian and Shen Xiangyang both laughed. The grudge between Xia Jingxing and Conscience was no longer a secret. People all over the country knew about it.

From their point of view, they definitely support Xia Jingxing. If any scientist has not dreamed of becoming a powerful country through science and technology, companies with good conscience can only sit there and Lenovo.
