Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

There is a surge of enthusiasm for domestic AI entrepreneurship. Some are directly launching large-scale models, and some are doing various developments around Tianwen KimiChat, including Time and Glory. This year’s flagship phone will be an “AI phone” based on KimiChat.

This is not to say that Time has given up on its own large-scale model, but the main reason is that the direction is different. Time is mainly oriented towards the industrial Internet, and at the same time it empowers Time Cloud. Cloud computing is information infrastructure, and it also provides other large-model entrepreneurs and autonomous vehicles. , aerospace rockets and other industrial enterprises provide computing power and cannot take into account general large models.

Whether it's Daisy's Ascension or Wuzhi's ASIC application-specific integrated circuit chips, they can't replace Nvidia's GPUs. Spreadtrum previously poached a lot of GPU talents from Imagination, AMD and NVIDIA to develop self-developed mobile phone GPUs. Later, the team split off part of the team and went to Wei Zhi. The self-developed GPU plus AI computing power chip barely replaced NVIDIA's A/H100.

As a result, because of Fanxing's lead in large models, Nvidia and AMD in the United States were implicated, thinking that the two companies cooperated with Qu Li to steal technology that Yingjiang did not have. They are so funny.

Fortunately, the stock prices of Nvidia and AMD have soared. The former is hitting a trillion-dollar market value, and the latter has a market value exceeding Intel. No matter what the relationship is, it is difficult to be slandered. Even if they are Chinese, Lao Huang has frequently questioned Yingjiang. Ban decision.

Unfortunately, due to the ban on sales, it is difficult for China to purchase NVIDIA chips in large quantities. As for Silicon Valley, Slope County, and European branches, of course they can purchase them, but they cannot be used for domestic business. In other words, the U.S. ban will have little impact on Internet technology companies with large overseas businesses.

Therefore, the focus of Qu Li's trip to Southeast Asia is Po County. Time, glory, and future are all important. Shein, including Chen Danlin, will build its international headquarters in Po County. Domestic companies such as Byte, Ali, Penguin, and Baidu are rushing in. By renting Yinghe Telecom data center, smaller enterprises purchase Guangming Cloud services.

As a result, house prices and rents in Po County have soared in recent years, but these have little impact on Qu Li. Yinghe Real Estate has purchased a large number of rental properties in Po County, including office buildings and long-term rental apartments, and even helped Shiguang and Glory buy land for construction. Headquarters building, Yinghe Telecom’s data center business ranks very high in the world...

Although Po County is not responsive to Qu Li's requests, it has given him a lot of conveniences. For example, there are car purchase subsidies for new energy vehicles with promising prospects, but not much else.

Shopee is now the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, and Jumei Logistics is the largest logistics and express delivery platform, ranking first in the industry in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Needless to say, Honor phones surpass Samsung in terms of high-end phones and are on par with mid-range and low-end phones. Although Shein sells to the global market, it mainly focuses on the European and American markets. After all, clothes worth more than 100 yuan are not expensive, but many Chinese people only buy clothes worth tens of yuan, let alone countries and regions whose economies are not as good as those in China.

Needless to say, WeChat and Instagram, Time Cloud is the largest cloud computing service company in Southeast Asia, second only to Amazon and Microsoft in Japan and South Korea, and still lags behind Google Cloud in many European and American countries. As for the Internet financial services of Time, although they are not as good as those in China, they have at least got the opportunity to develop in Southeast Asian countries. Basically no country wants to resist Time Jumei.

It’s not that they are kind-hearted, these companies not only make money in Southeast Asia, but also cultivate local talents, help local companies and individuals make money, and promote the development of the local economy. Mutual benefit and win-win results are very important. Some people in China advocate that everything must be produced domestically and then sold to Waiguoren. Is Waiguoren stupid and will let you occupy the local market? impossible.

Qu Li's trip around the world was just to spread money and negotiate peace. The joint venture car model was his bottom line for making profits. The Geometry and Lantu brands are mainly sold in Southeast Asia. A large number of advertisements, road tests and evaluation videos, including bundled time, glory, and continuous information bombardment have been launched through social media such as Instagram to enhance consumer confidence.

Last year, during the epidemic, there was a shortage of chips, and consumers had fewer choices. Qiancheng Geometry sold 250,000 units, mainly in the markets of Paxian County, Malaysia, Thailand and India. In one fell swoop, it surpassed Honda, whose annual sales volume was less than 200,000 units. Mitsubishi Motors also had good sales.

The annual sales volume of the Yinni market is about 1 million vehicles, so building a factory in Yinni has become an inevitable choice. As for Vietnam and the Philippines, annual car sales are about 300,000. Whether it's a clothing factory or an electronics factory, Qu Li will definitely not let them have no benefits.

Xiangjiang also hopes to introduce Quli's industry, but he had to choose Po County at the beginning even if the cost increased. It is impossible to buck the trend now that the situation is clear. Slope County is suitable as the headquarters of multinational enterprises.

In Qu Li's eyes, the market positioning of Xiangjiang and Po County is different. For example, the international headquarters of United Group and Tianming Fund are in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang's financial services industry has more advantages.

He left Po County and flew to Greece, where he stayed for a few days on the small island he bought. The plague had caused serious losses in the past few years, but now it's okay. Many wealthy people in China went here for vacation, and met several acquaintances.

The sea view in Greece is quite good, so the two of them had nothing to worry about when they went out. Qu Li and Chen Danni also went to TikTok’s international headquarters in Po County to chat and communicate with them. They didn’t expect to meet the employees of Time. The "talent exchanges" between the two companies are somewhat frequent...

Greece's industrial base is weak, but food and textiles are okay. Many of Jumei's own brands and Shein OEMs for the European market are in Greece. Of course, more clothing OEMs are in neighboring Turkey.

In addition, due to the customs union relationship between Turkey and Europe, cars produced here are exported to EU countries. As long as most of the parts or production processes occur in Turkey, they will not be subject to import duties.

Unfortunately, although the conditions are good, Husky lacks controllability. The country's exchange rate has been depreciating over the years, and there is no end in sight until 2024. There are not only risks of economic fluctuations, but also geopolitical risks. Volkswagen gave up its business for some reasons. Build a factory locally. However, if you want to occupy a certain market position in the Middle East and North Africa market, Turkey and Egypt may be the best choices, or you may build a factory in the United Arab Emirates, which has lower taxes but may require a large number of migrant workers.

Qu Li is taking a multi-pronged approach. The Egyptian assembly factory has already started construction, but Turkey and the United Arab Emirates have not yet reached an agreement. The risk is too great and they cannot make up their mind, and the wealthy people in Dubai want to help him make up his mind.

After Qu Li obtained the certificate of honorary citizen of Athens and a special Greek passport in Greece, he flew to Dubai to give a public interview and have a candid conversation with them.

"The most unforgettable time for me was when I worked in a factory and became a part on the assembly line. At that time, I worked 12 hours a day and had no hope of life. I could only make my own decisions about the clothes and hair on my body, so I became a killer. father……"

"The biggest change should be that Greece won the European Cup, which made me earn more than 100 times. I encountered such a small chance, so no matter how many difficulties I encountered later, it was difficult for me to give up hope..."

"In addition to luck, time, glory, and future success, I think the most important thing is that the leader must have imagination and self-control, the team must be creative, and finally..."

"I am the one who will bring the world into the era of sustainable energy economy and space exploration..." Qu Li became Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2021. In 2022, he was named the world's greatest entrepreneur by many well-known European and American media. He is a world-famous wealth Idols, and this is no exception in the Middle East. (End of chapter)
