Reborn multinational giant

Fang Zhe's suggestion to Musk just smiled softly and did not speak.

At present, it is not allowed to establish private aerospace companies in China. In his impression, the state did not release control over this area until 2015. It was also in that year that zero space and blue arrow space appeared in China. Several private aerospace companies.

However, until 2018, before Fang Zhe was reborn, there was no domestic private aerospace company with successful rocket launch experience.

In contrast, SpaceX in that period has successfully achieved the first rocket recovery in the history of global aerospace, greatly reducing the cost of rocket launch, and walking in the forefront of commercialization in the global aerospace field.

Step by step, step by step, even if Fang Zhe is a rebirth, he feels like he has more than enough energy in this field!

On the way to leave SpaceX, Fang Zhe seriously thought about what contribution he can make to the aerospace industry of China and all mankind with his current identity and abilities, but after thinking about it carefully, in the current environment, he can at most Spending some money or subsidizing some funds for studying abroad in this field, scientific research funds, etc., other things will not help.

Compared with aerospace, Fang Zhe still has another big rock in his heart that he is more eager to move, the chip.

Chips are the brains of modern electronic devices. In addition to being closely related to the rapidly developing smart phone devices in the world, they are also related to the future of unmanned driving, smart homes, and artificial intelligence.

However, the chip industry is an industry with huge investment, huge technical requirements, and huge investment results and a huge return time. So far, Fang Zhe has never only dared to think about it, and has not really made any actual actions.

However, after visiting SpaceX today and comparing the development speed of the private aerospace industry, Fang Zhe has a new understanding of the investment and layout of these super-top high-tech fields.

First of all, the importance of these industries is self-evident. If you don't do it because it is too difficult, you will not be able to move forward and will only fall behind.

Secondly, these industries have extremely high investment and technical requirements, and the return time is extremely long. Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, the minimum investment cost is maximized, and the longest benefit is the initial investment method to invest in this industry.

One of the specific ways of investment is to invest in talents and education. It may take dozens or even millions of dollars to cultivate an excellent scientist, but compared to the aerospace and integrated circuit chip fields, it is often tens of billions to hundreds of billions. This little money is really just a fraction of the money. Just like a single academician Yuan Longping, his contribution and value to China and the world are incalculable!

Fang Zhe was thinking that after returning to China this time, he might consider setting up a fund specifically to fund and reward outstanding international students and young people in these fields. Li Wen sitting in the front row suddenly turned his head and interrupted Fang Zhe:

"President Fang, I just saw Huang Zheng sent you a report on work a few hours ago. Would you like to read it now?"

Because Fang Zhe and others' electronic devices were stored in the security office when they entered SpaceX, it was not until now that Li Wen discovered this email.

Fang Zhe took the Ipad from Li Wen and first checked the sending time of the email. It was more than midnight in China, that is, it was around 11 am in the United States. At that time, he and Li Wen had just entered SpaceX. The rocket production workshop, and now, the US time is already more than 5 pm.

Afterwards, Fang Zhe continued to read the email again.

Huang Zheng's current position is the senior vice president of Huizhong. The work module he is in charge of is the overseas terminal game business of Steam China and Huizhong's domestic agent. There are two main contents in this email.

One is the Chinese version of Dota2 developed by Valve, which he is responsible for the agency of Huizhong. It has been finalized that it will start public beta simultaneously with other versions of Dota2 in February next year.

Another thing is that Huang Zheng intends to obtain the right to co-host the Dota2 International Invitational next year from Valve, and hopes that the tournament can be held in China. However, Valve did not agree to his request, so he hoped that Fang Zhe could Come out and get this done in person.

In the email, Huang Zheng briefly explained the various benefits of the Dota2 International Invitational Tournament in China. Fang Zhe could not help but think deeply after reading the email.

As early as more than two years ago, when Huizhong began to cooperate with Valve to introduce the agent Steam China, Valve had already started Dota2 research and development.

Later, with the deepening of the cooperation between Huizhong and Vlave, Huizhong provided a lot of support for the development of Dota2 in terms of financial and human resources. Therefore, Dota2 in this life was more than a year earlier than the previous life. Meet Chinese and global players.

At the end of last year, Dota2 opened a closed beta, and Ti1 was also held during the Cologne Game Show in Germany this summer, which is the first Dota2 International Invitational.

As Dota2 gets closer to the global public beta, Dota2 is becoming more and more popular among game players around the world. Therefore, Huang Zhengcai strongly hopes to win Ti2 to be held in China and expand Dota2’s influence in China. And popularity.

However, Huang Zheng also explained in the email that Valve considers that next year is the first year of Dota2's global public beta. For the sake of overall global operations, they plan to hold Ti2 in Seattle, the United States, which is the city where Valve's headquarters is located!

"This matter must be won!" Fang Zhe deeply agreed with Huang Zheng's proposal.

In the previous life, Dota games were popular all over the world, and the two most popular games were Dota 2 and the League of Legends developed by American Riot.

And Fang Zhe, who is familiar with the historical trend of these two games, knows that since the open beta of League of Legends in mainland China in September this year, League of Legends will soon be in China and the world, ranging from influence, number of players, and profit. Overtake Dota 2 in all aspects!

At its peak, League of Legends had over 100 million monthly active users worldwide, while Dota 2 in the same period was only in the early 10s. It can be said that from a business perspective, League of Legends completely crushed Dota 2!

There are three main reasons why the gap between the two games is so large:

1. Launch time. Because of Valve's speed of research and development, Dota2's public beta in mainland China was more than two years later than League of Legends. In North America, it was because of the 2009 League of Legends public beta that stimulated Valve. In the same year, the research and development of Dota 2 was started.

Under the preconceived notion, a large number of ordinary game users who have not been exposed to Dota games have been swept away by League of Legends. Only the diehard fans of Dota are still waiting for the public beta of Dota 2.

2. Operational friendliness and difficulty for ordinary novice users. In this regard, League of Legends is better and more popular than Dota2.

3. There is a very big gap between the two in promotion and publicity. Abroad, Valve’s ability to publicize Dota 2 can be slightly better than the fist, but in China, it represents the perfect world of Dota 2 and is represented by Tencent of League of Legends. It is completely crushed, and it is also the massive Chinese gamers cultivated by Tencent that supported the League of Legends to crush Dota 2 from many aspects!
