Chapter 107, Pinduoduo Market Value Estimation Yanjing, a certain air force base, welcomed the summer camp open day today. A bus carrying Jiang Hao, Sha Feiyang, and dozens of other "AVIC 606 Summer Camp" students drove into the air force base. The moment they entered the base, Jiang Hao, like all the other students, rushed to the windows of the bus, excitedly looking at the fighter planes parked quietly on the tarmac! "Fuck, it's so big!" This was the first time that Jiang Hao saw a fighter plane in person, and the shock brought by seeing it with his own eyes really cannot be expressed in words. Before, Jiang Hao’s concept of fighter jets was just various pictures, videos and data on the Internet. He thought it was just so-so. But now when he saw it with his own eyes, the oppressive feeling brought by the fighter jet was really shocking. Especially the Zhan-16, it was really big, like the longest semi-trailer, parked there fully loaded with cargo. The key is that it is really beautiful! It exudes one word - beauty! With just one look, Jiang Hao was conquered and his scalp tingled: it was really great to be able to send such a big thing into the sky and have it perform various flexible maneuvers! After getting out of the car and standing in front of the fighter plane at close range, Jiang Hao really felt his blood boiling.
A young lieutenant colonel led the team, as if he was leading a group of primary school students on a "spring outing". He smiled and introduced: "This Z-16 is a fourth-generation and a half twin-seat, twin-engine multi-purpose fighter developed by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation based on the Z-11BS fighter." "Teacher, do you have a Zhan-20?" A young summer camp student hurriedly raised his hand and asked a question with great anticipation. The Z-16 is indeed very cool, but the Z-20 has already had its first flight several years ago. The Z-16 is already "Mrs. Niu", and everyone is more looking forward to the Z-20. The young lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "The Zhan-16 fighter is a two-seat, heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter independently developed by our country. It can not only complete air control combat missions, but also carry out ground and sea strikes." "It is one of the important equipment for the transformation of our country's air force into an offensive and defensive capability." "Its emergence has enabled our country's air force to gradually move towards both offense and defense, allowing air and naval operations to achieve task conversion during operations, and moving one step closer to the goal of joint operations. It has a very epoch-making significance." "From this point of view, it is no less impressive than the appearance of the Zhan-20." Jiang Hao nodded seriously. This thing was indeed not as famous as the Z-20, but Jiang Hao knew how powerful the Z-16D electronic warfare aircraft, developed based on the Z-16 platform, would be in the field of electronic warfare in the future. At this moment, Jiang Hao felt a sense of national pride. In 2015, China is still looked down upon, various "public intellectuals" are prevalent, and "getting rich" abroad is the highest aspiration of many people. But Jiang Hao knows that she is now in a critical accumulation period. By 2024, the interest of Chinese military fans will be suddenly raised, because China's military equipment is far ahead of the world, and they don't have to envy anyone at all. The daytime military camp tour of the summer camp was over, and the other students returned to their respective schools, but Jiang Hao stood on the podium of a classroom at Yenching University. This is an ordinary-looking Yenching University classroom, but notices of "closure and modification" have been posted on the four classrooms on both sides of it and above and below it. There were also several "students" with flat heads sitting in other classrooms in the entire teaching building. Jiang Hao, standing on the podium, glanced at the audience below. The fifth "JHSX" special training class, which was added temporarily, was not like the previous classes with thirty or forty students. This special training class was a "small class" with only twelve project leaders from various research institutes of AVIC and six younger and reliable researchers. Jiang Hao said, "Let's start the class! Because this special training class is short, and as you can see, this handout is very thick, we can't finish explaining it all, so we will only explain the basic theories in this special training class." "At the same time, I am already a member of the Air Force Equipment Department. The 'Air Research 106 Group' that I am in charge of will assist in participating in the AVIC aviation engine project. My group will be responsible for data analysis and processing. Please take care of me in the future." "Wow!" There was welcoming applause from the audience, and then Jiang Hao pressed the PPT show button and began his lecture. After all, this was already the fifth special training class, so Jiang Hao was quite familiar with giving lectures while standing on the podium.
Today is Saturday, the third day of the "AVIC 606 Institute Summer Camp" and the second day of the fifth special training class for mathematics of "JHSX". At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the class was about to end, a fiery red Ferrari drove into the campus of Yenching University. Zhou Tao got off the car and leaned against the car body impatiently waiting. He was really speechless. Why did Jiang Hao have so much free time to attend a summer camp? "Haozi, are you still planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" After seeing Jiang Hao, Zhou Tao asked impatiently. Now the only person in the world who can call Jiang Hao "rat" is Zhou Tao. "Why do you ask?" Jiang Hao asked in response to Zhou Tao's inquiry. Zhou Tao said, "Then why did you attend the summer camp of the 606th Institute? Isn't it for the purpose of getting admitted to graduate school?" "No!" Jiang Hao hurriedly shook his head and pointed at Sha Feiyang standing beside him and said, "I studied economics and don't understand these things. It was Sha Feiyang who dragged me there." "Yes!" Sha Feiyang smiled with a clear face. Seeing the two people's idleness, Zhou Tao complained: "I am really fed up. I am busy all day long, busy with the roadshow for Pinduoduo's IPO all over the world, and you two have the leisure time to attend a summer camp!" After several rounds of financing and development, Pinduoduo has become a very large multinational company. Of course, in addition to the founders Jiang Hao, Zhou Tao and Sha Feiyang, many other shareholders have joined: Goldman Sachs, Morgan, CICC, Tata Group, investment banks representing the interests of the United States, China and India; Vanguard Fund, Blackstone Fund, BlackRock, Sequoia Capital, SoftBank Capital, Tencent Group, dozens of investment institutions, and "JJ Capital" controlled by the "Oriental Poison Woman" of Wall Street. Basically all the interested parties in the world who can come to the table are here. It is precisely for this reason that, with the joint efforts of all parties, Pinduoduo in this life is completely different from the Pinduoduo that Jiang Hao knew in his previous life. Zhou Tao said to Jiang Hao and Sha Feiyang: "Our roadshow is going crazy. We are breaking through the upper limit again and again. Now Pinduoduo's market value has exceeded one trillion US dollars." "Oh shit!" Although Jiang Hao was mentally prepared for Pinduoduo's market value to exceed one trillion yuan, after all, the entire Internet was bragging about Apple's "trillion yuan", but now that Zhou Tao said it, Jiang Hao still felt a little shocked. Currently, the company with the highest market value in the world is Apple, one of Pinduoduo's shareholders, and Apple's market value is also hovering around US$600 billion. If Pinduoduo can really break through the trillion-dollar mark, it will create a miracle, surpassing Apple to become the most valuable company in the world, and becoming the first company in human history with a market value of over one trillion dollars. So when Jiang Hao heard that Pinduoduo’s market value was estimated to exceed one trillion yuan, he was also shocked. The Pinduoduo in this life is equivalent to several Pinduoduos in his previous life. Then, Zhou Tao moved closer to Jiang Hao and whispered in Jiang Hao's ear very seriously, "Let me tell you an inside story. Your Nobel Prize in Economics is 100% certain." "Everything has been arranged. Even the press releases for mainstream media around the world, such as CNN, BBC, and Reuters, have been written. When you receive the Nobel Prize in Economics in Stockholm, I will ring the bell for Pinduoduo's listing at the New York Stock Exchange!" "We will use the hype of you winning the Nobel Prize to boost Pinduoduo's stock price! A trillion dollars! This will be the biggest wealth feast!" "We are going to get rich!" Then, Zhou Tao stared at Jiang Hao and Sha Feiyang with stars in his eyes and spoke excitedly. (End of this chapter)
