Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

When Chen Mo returned to Jiangcheng at four o'clock in the afternoon, the snow at Guanlan Yujing had not yet melted.

As soon as the car stopped in front of Villa No. 16, Chen Mo's phone rang.

Chen Mo answered the phone.

"Sister Jingyi."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jingyi's voice sounded tired.

"Xiao Mo, there's new progress in the global deployment of Chuangsheng."

"Okay, go ahead." Chen Mo said as he walked into the study, taking off his coat as he did so.

"Nvidia, Apple, and Amazon have already begun accumulating shares at a slow pace through several accounts on the open market."

"Grant is controlling the pace of his purchases as you requested, so he won't leave any obvious traces in the short term."

"Our teams at SMIC and JCET are currently in contact with securities firms and industry funds. Semiconductor projects in mainland China are quite sensitive, so we can't rush things."

"The Bitcoin team is up and running. The first batch of over-the-counter traders has been largely eliminated; not many are usable."

Chen Mo nodded; all of this was within expectations.

The current Bitcoin market is too small and lacks compliance; rushing into it on a large scale will only expose you to everyone.

"What about SpaceX?" Chen Mo asked.

Lu Jingyi paused for a moment, then her tone became serious.

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you. Grant has found an exit window for an early shareholder. The shareholder doesn't hold a large stake, but is willing to sell some of their existing shares."

"The price is not cheap, and the buyer must pass the accreditation process. Grant can help us get the entry qualification, but they want you to come to the United States in person."

Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

A company like SpaceX isn't something you can buy just because you have money.

In the early stages, there was very little equity turnover, and the window for selling was extremely short.

This small number of shares may seem insignificant now, but it could become a ticket for Genesis Capital to enter the core circle of global hard technology in the future.

"How long is the time window?"

"About two weeks."

Lu Jingyi said, "If you can go to the United States, Grant will arrange for you to meet with the seller's representatives, as well as several family offices that have participated in investments in Silicon Valley's hard technology sector."

"I suggest you go."

Chen Mo remained silent for a moment.

The Beihe incident was just beginning to emerge, and the Jiangcheng industrial chain was also at a critical juncture, but the opportunity presented by SpaceX could not be missed either.

"I see."

Chen Mo walked to the desk and sat down.

"I will go to the United States, but before I go, I need to take care of one thing back home."

"Beihe?" Lu Jingyi asked.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "You're quick to get the news."

"Lin Wan and I are friends now," Lu Jingyi said with a hint of pride. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Let's check the information about East China Mining first, mainly its debt-related matters."

In his previous life, Chen Mo didn't know much about this company, but that also meant that the company had most likely either been restructured or hadn't survived at all.

Lu Jingyi said, "Understood, I will organize the information and send it to your email."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo sat in the study for a long time without getting up.

……

The next morning.

The compound of Jiangcheng County Government.

The two convoys arrived almost one after the other.

Li Jiang, Chairman of Duofuduo, and Xu Fu, Chairman of Tianci Materials, personally led their teams to the event.

Zhou Mingyuan and Deputy County Head Wang were waiting at the entrance of the county government early in the morning.

For this meeting, Jiangcheng County summoned back almost all the department heads who were still on holiday for the Spring Festival.

Development and Reform Commission, Land and Resources Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Investment Promotion Bureau, Industrial Park Management Committee, Transportation Bureau.

A row of cadres stood in the cold wind, but their faces showed no impatience whatsoever.

Everyone knew that the people who came today were not ordinary businesspeople.

Duofuduo has technological expertise in lithium hexafluorophosphate, while Tianci Materials has market channels in electrolytes and lithium battery materials.

Once these two companies are actually established in Wuhan, all previous plans regarding the fluorochemical and new energy materials industry chain will no longer be just plans on paper.

The car door opened.

Li Jiang was the first to get off the bus.

He was wearing a dark overcoat and looked to be in good spirits. He smiled and shook hands with Zhou Mingyuan as soon as he got out of the car.

"Secretary Zhou, Happy New Year."

"Mr. Li, you must have had a long journey."

On the other side, Xu Fu also got off the car with his team.

Compared to Li Jiang's enthusiasm, Xu Fu was clearly more cautious.

His personal visit to Jiangcheng this time does not mean that the project has been decided to be implemented.

More importantly, the recent series of moves by Xingchen Technology, Deer Technology, and Xingxin Mining made him realize that this small county town could no longer be viewed as an ordinary investment project.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to Jiangcheng."

Zhou Mingyuan grasped his hand, his smile calm and composed.

"We hope that this visit will demonstrate Jiangcheng's sincerity to Tianci Materials."

"Secretary Zhou, you're too kind."

Xu Fu smiled slightly: "There's been a lot of activity in Jiangcheng lately, and we're quite curious about it too."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group headed to the first conference room.

Chen Mo arrived at a time that was neither too early nor too late.

Instead of standing at the door to greet him with the county officials, he waited in the meeting room.

When Li Jiang and Xu Fu walked in, the first thing they saw was the boy sitting on one side of the long table.

Chen Mo was wearing a black sweater with a dark coat over it, and there was only a thin document in front of him.

Too young to be true, yet impossible to ignore.

Li Jiang had met him a few times and was getting used to it.

This was the first time Xu Fu had truly faced Chen Mo face to face.

Before he came, he had heard many rumors about Chen Mo.

The top high school student in the city, the actual leader behind Xingchen Technology, and the core figure of Xingxin Mining.

The budget for acquiring resources in the East Suburbs Gold Mine and the West Ridge Rare Earth is 2 billion yuan.

These words, when put together, sound so absurd, like a story made up when someone's drunk.

But when Xu Fu saw Chen Mo in person, he felt a little calmer.

At least for now, this young man seems to have good self-control.

"Mr. Chen."

Li Jiang stepped forward with a smile.

"Mr. Li."

Chen Mo stood up and shook hands with him, then looked at Xu Fu.

"Mr. Xu, I've heard so much about you."

Xu Fu grasped his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

"President Chen is younger than I imagined."

"Being young isn't necessarily a bad thing," Chen Mo said with a faint smile. "At least you still dare to do things that have a long cycle and slow results."

Xu Fu paused for a moment, then smiled.

This statement perfectly pinpoints the most critical pain point in the materials industry.

Many investors prefer quick money and dislike heavy assets and long-cycle R&D.

However, the process of obtaining genuine chemical materials, from technology verification to production line scale-up and then to customer certification, is not something that can be accomplished in just three to five months.

After everyone was seated, Zhou Mingyuan skipped the formalities and went straight to the point, outlining the grand plan for the Jiangcheng Fluorochemical Base.

Li Jiang, Chairman of Duofuduo, spoke first: "Secretary Zhou, the project can be implemented, but Duofuduo has three hard conditions. First, the fluorite resources must be under a long-term agreement; second, the upstream supporting facilities must be synchronized; third..."

He glanced at Chen Mo. "The ownership of the technology patents needs to be clearly defined."

"Your existing technology will be considered as your technology investment, and you will have priority in using any new technologies developed in the future."

Chen Mo leaned forward slightly and interrupted directly: "In addition, Xingxin Mining signed a ten-year long-term agreement with you, with prices fluctuating according to market conditions, and we have set an upper limit for protection."

"Limit protection?"

"Yes, when resource prices skyrocket, Xingxin won't cut your losses; it will keep the profits on the production side." Chen Mo said calmly, "It's pointless for companies within the industry chain to leech off each other. Only by feeding you can the joint venture grow bigger."

Li Jiang took a deep breath and looked intently at the eighteen-year-old boy.

In this industry, he had seen too many nouveau riche who, once they owned the mineral resources, wanted to squeeze every last drop out of the downstream businesses. But Chen Mo's move was all about building a large-scale industrial community.

"Alright!" Li Jiang slammed his hand on the table. "President Chen is a man of few words, so I'll take on that task!"

Then, everyone looked at Xu Fu, who was involved in the Tianci materials.

Xu Fuming was clearly more experienced. He flipped through the documents, a forced smile on his face: "President Chen, what Tianci needs to see is lithium resources and customer certification. Making materials is a money-burning, asset-heavy, and slow business. Local governments can't feed a behemoth just by building a few factories on their own wishful thinking."

"Who said you were supposed to build a huge factory right away?" Chen Mo laughed.

Xu Fu was taken aback.

"My suggestion is that Tianci first set up a joint laboratory and pilot production line in Jiangcheng." Chen Mo tapped the table with his fingers. "Xingchen Technology will provide the funding, De'er Technology will provide the factory and skilled workers, and you will provide the technical team. First, get the pilot production line running smoothly and see the results, then you can decide whether to invest heavily in building a mass production base."

Xu Fu's tense body relaxed instantly.

Wonderful.

This young man even understood the unspoken rules of pilot-scale production in the materials industry, and every step he took was on the line of risk tolerance that Tianci could not bear, leaving Tianci with no excuse to refuse.

At this point, Liu Ming and Zhang Hai from Deer Technology also joined the discussion.

Liu Ming talked about production, and Zhang Hai talked about technology.

Although their companies are far smaller than those of Duofuduo and Tianci Materials, they have their own understanding of the basic processes of fluorochemicals, the bottlenecks of existing production lines, and the future direction of high-purity materials.

Zhang Hai, in particular, was able to engage in a continuous conversation with the technical director of Tianci Materials for over ten minutes when he mentioned the electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid purification process and high-end electrolyte additives.

Xu Fu was initially just listening politely, but as he listened, his expression became more and more serious.

"Did you visit Japanese companies before, Mr. Zhang?" Xu Fu asked.

Zhang Hai shook his head: "No, I've only read some published papers and patent information."

The technical director of Tianci Materials couldn't help but say, "Many key processes are not written in academic papers by Japanese and Korean companies."

That's why we need to go see it.

Chen Mo suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"After the Spring Festival, Xingchen Technology took the lead in organizing the technical teams of Deer Technology, Tianci Materials and Duofu Technology to visit Japan and South Korea."

"Buy equipment if you can, poach talent if you can, cooperate if you can."

"If you can't learn the core technologies, then learn management, process control, and quality systems."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, then Li Jiang was the first to laugh: "Mr. Chen's words are quite true."

Xu Fu smiled and said, "If we can really organize it, Tianci Materials is willing to send a technical team to participate."

Zhang Hai and Liu Ming exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with suppressed excitement.

Deer Technology used to be just a small factory in a county town.

They never dreamed that one day they would be able to go on a study tour to Japan and South Korea with leading domestic materials companies.

Zhou Mingyuan sat in the main seat, his heart also pounding.

At that moment, he finally realized that Chen Mo brought more than just funds.

Rather, it is the ability to force small county towns onto the forefront of the industry.

11:30 a.m.

The meeting yielded preliminary results.

Duofuduo agreed in principle to establish a lithium hexafluorophosphate phase one project company in Jiangcheng.

Tianci Materials has agreed to jointly establish a lithium battery materials joint laboratory and pilot plant with Xingchen Technology and Deer Technology.

Jiangcheng County established a special service team, and Xingxin Mining, as an upstream resource guarantee platform, was officially included in the meeting minutes.

This summary will not be made public immediately, but everyone present understands that it signifies that Jiangcheng's new energy materials industry chain has moved from the planning stage to the substantive implementation stage.

After the meeting, Zhou Mingyuan personally arranged a luncheon.

Chen Mo did not drink alcohol, but instead toasted with tea to Li Jiang and Xu Fu.

Xu Fu looked at him and suddenly said, "President Chen, before I came here, I thought Jiangcheng just wanted to use the concept of new energy to attract investment."

"And now?" Chen Mo asked.

"Now I think you really want to build the industry chain."

Xu Fu spoke earnestly.

"However, this road is not easy to travel."

Chen Mo put down his teacup.

"I know."

"That's why we need to secure the path before others fully understand it."

Xu Fu remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

This statement is right up his alley.
