Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 117 Ambition

Ye Kai certainly knew which path would make it easier to achieve a breakthrough.

If it weren't for the goal of entering the real economy, seeking technological breakthroughs, and establishing a relatively stable foundation, he wouldn't have needed to put in this much effort.

Compared to engaging in new energy power batteries or opening physical stores, it's easier to make money by directly venturing into finance and moving away from the real economy.

As a reborn individual, he clearly understands the boundaries of policy and is unlikely to make mistakes easily, making internet finance the simplest option for him.

"However, in order to gain the corresponding social status, it is impossible not to engage in real industries."

"No matter how prosperous the virtual economy is, it is still a virtual economy that does not generate any value. As long as the policy direction changes slightly, it will collapse like a giant with feet of clay."

"No matter how prosperous an economic empire is, if it is built on the virtual economy, it will be at risk of collapsing at any time."

"The real economy is different. It affects the basic needs of many people, including their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It is a matter of people's livelihood. If you do well, you can become a young and promising industry leader with considerable influence and a voice."

Ye Kai understood this very clearly.

Although he occasionally stirs up trouble in the capital market in order to raise money, it is only a temporary measure. The only thing he really needs to focus his energy on is the real economy.

If opening a milk tea shop was a chance entrepreneurial venture, then the new energy power battery project was a crucial step for him to enter the real economy.

If this path is successful, Ye Kai will immediately gain a foothold in China's new energy industry.

After all, he knew very well that new energy power battery companies like CATL, which later became known, had more than 7 employees, a market share of more than one-third in the global power battery market, annual profits of more than 300 billion yuan, and annual R&D investment of more than 100 billion yuan. They were behemoths with a market value of over one trillion yuan and played a pivotal role in the industry.

The green energy core power he is developing now has advantages over CATL in every aspect.

The most important thing he needs to do now is to provide the right development path for Green Energy Core Power, and at the same time, to recruit relevant technical talents from various top laboratories and form experimental teams in the direction of developing solid-state battery technology, lithium-sulfur battery technology, and even condensed matter battery technology.

"If you want to find technical talent, you definitely have to look in universities."

"Abroad, MIT, Stanford, UCB and Cambridge have very advanced technologies. Domestically, it's definitely Tsinghua and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, it's not easy to recruit talent from them."

"Currently, domestic new energy companies are racking their brains to recruit relevant technical talents, and the salaries they offer are astonishing. A bachelor's degree in a related major can earn an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan, not to mention research talents who have made certain achievements."

Zhou Xiaoli hadn't expected Ye Kai to be so ambitious. After hearing his description of the industry's prospects, she felt a surge of excitement and looked at Ye Kai with admiration.

However, she also knew that although Ye Kai's idea was excellent, it would be very difficult to implement.

Technological breakthroughs cannot be achieved simply by talking; they require substantial investment in research and development. To be frank, technological innovation is essentially built on money.

The only thing that Ye Kai was fortunate about was that he now owned a fairly large new energy power battery manufacturing company and a relatively complete R&D team, instead of starting from scratch.

He only needs to formulate a development roadmap, and then the company's management can recruit relevant technical talents without having to do it personally.

"Ah! We still need to keep making money!"

"Without sufficient cash flow, it's simply impossible to support the research and development costs required for technological innovation!"

Ye Kaiye rubbed his temples and then let out a squeak like a groundhog.

……

"I've had such a tough time."

"I never imagined that filming a gay porn movie would be so exhausting."

Shen Jiayi held up her brand-new iPhone with both hands, reclining on a canvas deck chair and complaining.

Since WeChat launched its video call function, Shen Jiayi and Ye Kai have had a face-to-face call almost every day, the only difference being the length of the call.

"Your makeup and styling seem a bit too mature."

"How's that director? Did he give you any trouble?"

Ye Kai's focus was not on the specific process of GG's filming, but on whether the other party was reliable enough.

The entertainment industry has seen explosive growth in recent years. Although the phenomenon of coal mine owners flocking to the film and television industry is no longer replicable, the momentum of capital driving the entertainment industry's rapid development is still very strong, resulting in many chaotic phenomena within the industry.

Ye Kai's decision to make Shen Jiayi a popular online figure was merely a coincidence, a way to make some money on the side. He never intended for her to actually plunge into this cesspool of corruption.

"well enough."

"The director is nice; she's a woman and knows a lot."

"They knew my identity, and since the filming was being done in Xinghua City, my father, representing the city, also provided some assistance, so the filming progressed quickly and was completed in just a few days."

Shen Jiayi switched the phone to her other hand, found a more comfortable position to continue lying down, and then began to ramble on and on about some of her special experiences filming gay porn.

Even when filming a pornographic film on Xinghua City's own territory, the director's domineering attitude didn't diminish much.

Although Shen Jiayi was a newcomer, she had relevant learning experience and could not be considered a complete novice, so she learned very quickly, which even surprised the director himself.

She even tried to persuade me to enter the film and television industry, but I refused.

"School starts soon, I don't have that much time to go out and mess around."

Shen Jiayi has no interest in entering the film and television industry. She is doing well in her studies, has plenty of money, and is very content with her modest wealth. She also has a boyfriend, Ye Kai, who is willing to work hard and make a lot of money. Therefore, she doesn't have much ambition in her career.

With her tens of millions of followers on Weibo alone, Shen Jiayi could earn a living.

Shen Jiayi was very clear-headed and had heard a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry, so she knew that being a female celebrity was not easy.

Instead of venturing into the entertainment industry's murky world to gamble on an uncertain future, it's better to continue cultivating your current career as a social media influencer. If you do it well, you can earn tens of millions of yuan every year.

"Oh, right."

"Your driver's license is all set. Once I'm done filming these next few days, I'll send it to Beijing, how about that?"

Just as the call was about to end, Shen Jiayi suddenly said this.
