Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 438 - 428: One Cheat Is Enough

Qi Hao pondered for a moment and decided to settle the mission.

Without winning the Xiangjiang Film Golden Image Award, there's even less hope for the Shen City International Film Festival.

After all, it's normal for a film to win awards at two A-class film festivals, but winning top prizes at two is nearly impossible.

As for the Media Award at the Shen City International Film Festival, it doesn't hold much weight.

Qi Hao would still need to attend the film festival to receive it.

Might as well settle it now and move on to the next task.

[Congratulations, Host. Main Mission 3 Completed]

[Mission Completion Reward: Fishing +10, script for "Interstellar," 4 million shares of Tesla stock]

Main Mission Completed.

Because he won the Palme d'Or at the Big Three in Europe, he got an extra million.

The script is quite regrettable, though.

Qi Hao had already heard about this script; it's the new one Nolan is working on.

Initially, Paramount looked for Spielberg.

While in Cannes, Qi Hao even discussed this topic with Spielberg.

Of course, Qi Hao's script for "Interstellar" is definitely more refined than what the Nolan brothers are currently working on; it's the final product.

But there's really no reason for Qi Hao to hand it over.

It's also hard to explain why he has it.

Its fate should be sealed in the depths of Qi Hao's mind, occasionally taken out for appreciation.

Together with what he previously acquired, he now has 7 million shares of Tesla stock.

At the start of the year, the company's stock price was hovering around 30 US Dollars. It later rose to 50 Dollars, and when its first-quarter financial report came out, everyone saw that the company had become profitable, and the stock price immediately surged to 120 Dollars.

This unremarkable guy suddenly became impressive.

The venture capital company Donghao Venture Capital from Huaxia participated in multiple rounds of financing for Tesla, even before it went public, and has always been one of the most important shareholders and Musk's key allies.

After Tesla went public, Donghao Venture Capital remained optimistic about the company's future development and continued to acquire Tesla stock.

Currently, it holds a total of 7 million circulating shares of Tesla.

Praise to Tongzi!

One can only say that a higher-dimensional system is a definite overwhelming force against a lower-dimensional world.

[New Main Mission Activated]

[Main Mission 4: The animation production industry is one of the fields most severely impacted by competition from leading overseas manufacturers. There was once a stagnation in the creation of domestic animated films, but with the rapid development of the film market, animated films are rising along with it. Please pay attention to the animated film industry and create high-quality animated films. Assessment dimensions: quantity, quality, box office... Mission difficulty: five stars, time limit: 60 months]

[Mission Completion Reward: Stamina +10, scripts for "Nezha 1/2/3/4," 10 million shares of Nvidia stock]

The new task involves animated movies.

But it's not asking Qi Hao to produce the animated films himself; investing in them should suffice.

As the main financier, like West Hao Animation Film and Television is currently doing.

Films like "Kuiba," "The Return of the Great Sage," and "Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child" fall under the main investment category.

Films like "Pleasant Goat" and "Boonie Bears" don't fall into this category.

The second movie of "Pleasant Goat" and the first movie of "Boonie Bears" both utilized resources integrated by the National Animation Development Alliance, which greatly reduced production costs and improved quality. As a result, they sought 20% investment from West Hao Animation Film and Television to deepen their cooperative relationship.

The task demands high-quality animated films, to be assessed from multiple dimensions such as quality, quantity, and box office.

This also means the task can be exceeded.

The rewards are rather bittersweet.

Isn't "Nezha" being worked on by Jiaozi? Yet here are the scripts.

The time limit for the task is five years.

Five years!

Jiaozi probably can't use this script.

Moreover, Qi Hao doesn't plan to give him the script directly.

Having one overpowered person is enough.

He's willing to bear this "curse" alone.

Handing over the script directly to directors or writers under his command would only stifle their creativity.

Ye Weimin directed "Jiong 1" and got the script for "Jiong 2" from Qi Hao, handed over "Jiong 3," and is now focusing on cracking the script for "Jiong 4."

While seemingly incapable, his progress has been significant.

Qi Hao reviewed his script for "Jiong 4" last week and found the quality to be quite good.

It might be better to discuss with Jiaozi after getting the "Nezha" script, giving him some inspiration while showing off a bit.

There's also a stock reward: 10 million shares of Nvidia.

Being called Little Buffett, Qi Hao would certainly be familiar with Nvidia.

The boss of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, was born in Taiwan, later went to the United States, and after graduating from university, he entered Silicon Valley, working as a chip engineer at semiconductor giants AMD and LSI Logic.

In January 1993, Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA with $40,000 he had saved up, becoming the company's president and CEO.

NVIDIA's market cap reached its peak in 2007 at $18.9 billion.

Then it plummeted to $4.3 billion due to the 2008 economic crisis, and slowly climbed back up again.

Currently, the stock price is $12.50 per share, with a market value of $7.7 billion.

Just a few days ago, Lei Jun invited Jensen Huang to support Xiaomi 3. With not-so-fluent Chinese, Jensen Huang introduced NVIDIA while adapting to the local customs, shouting "Xiaomi v5" to the audience.

At that time, Jensen Huang on stage was trying hard to speak Chinese, surprisingly with a somewhat ingratiating demeanor.

According to media descriptions, once Lei Jun spoke up, Jensen Huang hurried over to help with the presentation, even stating that Xiaomi V5 and Lei Jun were his good friends.

Actually, this is typical business behavior.

NVIDIA's market cap is $7.7 billion, while Xiaomi's valuation has reached $45 billion.

The difference is nearly sixfold.

Globally, Lei Jun's influence in the tech industry is much greater than Jensen Huang's.

Qi Hao is a bit puzzled as to why Tongzi is rewarding NVIDIA's stock.

Why not Intel?

It should be noted that Intel currently holds the trump card of the X86 architecture and is an IDM enterprise, able to independently handle the entire process of chip design and manufacturing.

In 2000, its market cap even reached $509 billion.

Even though it has decreased now,

it still achieves annual revenue of $53.34 billion, a profit of $11 billion, and a market cap of $120 billion.

Intel with a market cap of $120 billion

Qi Hao feels like he's discovered a big secret.

It means that privately, NVIDIA's stock can be further accumulated!

With a direction set, Qi Hao began to take action.

On one hand, he let Donghao Venture Capital analyze NVIDIA and started gradually absorbing its stock.

As for where the money comes from...

Lei Jun will provide it.

This year, Xiaomi's valuation has reached $45 billion, becoming a globally watched unicorn, attracting domestic and foreign investment companies rushing in.

At this time, Donghao Venture Capital, holding 10% of Xiaomi's stock, became a thorn in the side of many.

Many were whispering in Lei Jun's ear.

Eggs shouldn't be put all in one basket; it's only at the C round, and Donghao Venture Capital already holds 10% of shares. According to the agreement signed by both parties, during each financing round, Donghao's dilution ratio is not higher than 2%, and there are preemptive rights, making it an immovable god in the future.

Of course, Lei Jun is not someone who easily believes in slander.

There's no way a veteran like him would not see through what these people are truly aiming for.

Compared to other investment companies, Donghao Venture Capital is much more professional, definitely being the most high-quality partner domestically.

However, there's still a huge divide between Lei Jun and Donghao Venture Capital.

It's even considered an irreconcilable conflict.

First, Donghao Venture Capital has decided to make mobile phones, with a new brand under North Ao Technology, an independent mobile phone brand, similar to Xiaomi, targeting value for money.

Moreover, relying on more and more mobile phone patent technologies, North Ao Technology's phones are obviously more high-tech.

With two newly developed patent technologies, North Ao Technology clearly stated they wouldn't authorize them externally, planning to use them in their new phone brand to be launched at the end of the year.

Additionally, because of Donghao Venture Capital's good relationship with BYD, North Ao Technology clearly surpasses Xiaomi in terms of production capacity.

Whether it's manufacturing volume or manufacturing cost.

Currently, BYD is known for cars, but in fact, BYD's mobile phone manufacturing business almost started simultaneously with the car manufacturing business.

In 2003, BYD officially entered the manufacturing business.

From 2006 to 2009, the share of mobile parts and assembly business in BYD Group's revenue fluctuated between 37% to 45%, maintaining a high growth trend similar to the car business.

Lei Jun, Donghao Venture Capital's executive president Mr. An Yu, and West Hao Technology's executive president Zhang Nan have privately met a few times without resolving this major issue.

If North Ao Technology didn't reject financing, even Xiaomi's C round financing might be affected.

Even so, Lei Jun still feels tremendous pressure.

This time, there's no direct impact, but once Xiaomi appears too weak in front of competitors, upcoming financing and valuations will eventually be suppressed.

Also, there's one aspect that leaves him feeling helpless.

That is North Ao Technology beginning to venture into higher-end research fields, partially touching the interests of upstream customers in the United States.

Xiaomi will soon face the dilemma of choice.

Whether to continue using parts from the US, Japan, and South Korea, or those from North Ao Technology.

Clearly, they can directly purchase them, and they aren't even expensive, so why insist on developing them?
