Fang Zhe's suggestion to musk just smiled gently and didn't speak.
At present, the establishment of private aerospace companies is not allowed in China. In his impression, the state did not release the control on this area until 2015. It was also that year that several private aerospace companies such as zero one space and blue arrow space appeared in China.
However, until 2018 before Fang Zhe's rebirth, no domestic private aerospace company had successful rocket launch experience.
In contrast, SpaceX in that period has successfully achieved the first rocket recovery in the history of global aerospace, greatly reduced the rocket launch cost, and is at the forefront of commercialization in the global aerospace field.
Step by step late, step by step late, even if Fang Zhe is a reborn person, he also has a feeling that his heart is surplus but his strength is insufficient in this field!
On the way out of SpaceX, Fang zhe thought seriously about what he could do for the aerospace industry of China and all mankind with his current identity and ability, but he thought carefully that in the current environment, he could not contribute more money or fund some overseas study expenses and scientific research funds in this field.
Compared with aerospace, Fang zhe has another big stone in his heart, chip.
Chip is the brain of modern electronic devices. In addition to being closely related to the rapid development of smart phone devices in the world, it is also related to many fields such as driverless, smart home and artificial intelligence in the future.
However, the chip industry is an industry with huge investment, high technical requirements and long investment effect and return time. So far, Fang zhe has never dared to think about it and has not really taken practical action.
However, after visiting SpaceX today and comparing the development speed of national and private aerospace fields, 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 they don't do and start because they are too difficult, they will only fall behind more and more.
Secondly, the investment and technology requirements of these industries are very high, and the return time is very long. Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, the starting investment mode of investing in this industry is to win the maximum and long-term benefits with the minimum investment cost.
One of the specific investment methods is to invest in talents and education. It may take tens or even millions of dollars to cultivate an excellent scientist, but compared with tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in aerospace and integrated circuit chip fields, this money is really a drop in the bucket, just like a single Academician Yuan Longping, Its contribution and value to China and the world is immeasurable!
Fang zhe was thinking that after returning home this time, he might consider setting up a fund to subsidize and reward outstanding foreign 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 that Huang Zheng sent you an e-mail report a few hours ago. Do you want to see it now?"
Because the electronic devices of Fang Zhe and others were sent to the security department when entering SpaceX, Li Wen didn't find this email until he came out now.
Fang zhe took the iPad from Li Wen and first looked at the time of sending the email. It was more than 0:00 in China, that is, more than 11:00 a.m. in the United States. At that time, he and Li Wen had just entered the rocket production workshop of SpaceX. Now, it is more than 5:00 p.m. in the United States.
Then Fang zhe continued to read the email.
Huang Zheng is now the senior vice president of Huizhong. His work module is steam China and the overseas end travel business represented by Huizhong in China. There are two main contents in this email.
First, the Chinese version of dota2 developed by valve, which is responsible for Huizhong's agency under his leadership, has been finalized and will be launched for public beta with other versions of dota2 in February next year.
Another thing is that Huang Zheng is interested in valve company to strive for the co hosting right of dota2 International Invitational Competition next year, and hopes that the competition can be held in China. However, valve company did not agree to his request, so he hopes Fang zhe can personally handle the matter.
In the email, Huang Zheng briefly explained the benefits of dota2 international invitational tournament in China. After reading the email, Fang zhe couldn't help thinking.
As early as more than two years ago, when Huizhong began to cooperate with valve to introduce agent steam China, valve had already started the research and development of dota2.
Later, with the deepening cooperation between Huizhong and vlave, Huizhong provided a lot of support for dota2 R & D in terms of financial and human resources. Therefore, dota2 can meet Chinese and global players more than a year earlier in this life than in the previous life.
At the end of last year, dota2 opened the internal test, and this summer, Ti1, the first dota2 international invitational tournament, was held during the game exhibition in Cologne, Germany.
As dota2 is getting closer to the global public beta, dota2 is becoming more and more popular among global game players. Therefore, Huang Zhengcai strongly hopes to strive for Ti2 to be held in China and expand dota2's influence and popularity in China.
However, Huang Zheng also explained in the email that valve plans to hold Ti2 in Seattle, the city where valve's headquarters is located, considering that next year is the first year of dota2's global public beta. For the sake of global overall operation, valve plans to hold Ti2!
"This matter must be taken!" Fang zhe deeply agrees with Huang Zheng's proposal.
In previous lives, dota games were popular all over the world, and the two most popular games were dota2 and the hero alliance developed by American fist companies.
Chinese mainland China is well aware of the history of the two game player. Fang zhe knows more. From the beginning of this year's heroic alliance's September public survey in mainland China, the League of heroes will soon catch up with Dota2 in all aspects of China's region and the world, from influence to player numbers and profits.
In the peak period, the number of global monthly active people of the hero alliance exceeded 100 million, while dota2 in the same period was only over 10 million. It can be said that from a commercial point of view, the hero alliance completely crushed dota2!
There are three main reasons why there is such a big gap between the two games:
1. launch time, because the speed of R & D of Valve company has led to Dota2's two years in the Chinese mainland than the League of heroes. In North America, it was because the heroic Union launched the beta test in 2009 that the Valve company launched Dota2 research and development in the same year.
Under the preconceived concept, a large number of ordinary game users who have not contacted dota games have been swept away by the hero alliance, but dota's loyal fans are still waiting for the beta of dota2.
2. The operation friendliness and difficulty of ordinary Xiaobai users. In this regard, the hero alliance is better and more popular than dota2.
3. There is a big gap between the two in the promotion and promotion ability. In foreign countries, valve can slightly beat the fist in the promotion ability of dota2, but in China, the perfect world acting for dota2 is completely crushed by Tencent acting for the hero alliance, and it is the massive Chinese game players trained by Tencent that support the hero alliance to crush dota2 in many ways!
