Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 206: Many forces emerge, Sakata Wasteland is capped today

Southeast Asia.

The capital of Yue Monkey Country is Hanoi.

Hanoi is located in the northwest of the Red River Delta, on the right bank of the Red River and at the confluence of the Red River and the Dun River. It is a must-stop place whether traveling from the south to the north or from the inland to the coast.

This city not only has the largest river port in the north, but also has several railways connected here, making it the general hub of the northern highway.

However, it is worth mentioning that Hanoi is not the city with the highest GDP in the Yue Monkey Kingdom, but it is the closest city to the Dragon Kingdom, just southwest of Guangxi.

At this time, in a splendid box in a star-rated hotel in Hanoi, a group of well-dressed men and women in suits and leather shoes were full of smiles and toasting frequently.

"Mr. Buffett, this is my toast to you. Thank you for your willingness to invest 3000 million US dollars in our Something Good shopping platform. I will do it first."

"I also toast to Mr. Buffett. Without your capital injection, my NinjaVan (Ninja Van) may not be able to survive."

"I used to think that God did not exist, but now it seems that I am ignorant. These three glasses of wine are from me to Mr. Buffett."

There were more than a dozen or twenty people in the box, and their attention had always been focused on Buffett, who had sparse gray hair, black glasses, and sharp eyes.

The reason is also very simple, because no one thought at that time that the world-shaking stock god would actually come to invest in their small Southeast Asian country.

Moreover, he is not investing in the planting industry, but in the Internet economy.

To put it simply, companies that are related to the Internet invest, such as online shopping platforms, cloud computing companies, express logistics, etc.

Their most real feeling now is that they just tinkered with something at home, but a financial giant took notice of it and insisted on investing in it, forcing them to give them money.

Faced with the flattery from the bosses at the dinner table, Buffett did not show a cold face and responded with a smile: "No need to thank me, this is the reward you deserve for your efforts, but please also remember that we at Berkshire Al Hathaway Company has the direct rights to operate your company."

He invests in these companies not because he thinks the Southeast Asian market has great potential, but because he wants to complete the "all-seeing test."

As a member of the Wall Street Freemasons, money is no longer what he pursues, because every day when he opens his eyes, his account will have dozens or millions of dollars more.

After the material foundation reached its peak, life became his pursuit.

If you want to increase the life span limit, you cannot avoid the development of science and technology, and he knows very well whose hands the technology is in.

The other people in the box heard about the "management rights" and quickly laughed.

"That's natural. You can take over the company's operations anytime you want."

"Don't worry, Mr. Buffett, there are strict rules in black and white, and we will not break our promises."

"Yes, there is a contract."

Because they were too eager to be invested by the stock gods, they all agreed to hand over the management rights, but they still took the lead.

To put it simply, the company is usually managed by their founders, but in special times, Buffett has the right to directly intervene in the company's operations.

The reason he gave is also very legitimate, that is, he is afraid that they will not manage well, and he can help guide them in the right direction when necessary.

These Yue Monkey Country company bosses didn’t think much about it. After all, this was Buffett, once the richest man in the world, and he was as rich as anyone in the country. He didn’t take the management rights for development. Could it be that he was plotting against their company?

……

The dinner lasted about two hours, and when it was about to end, the company bosses did not forget to pretend to be drunk and praise Buffett's long experience.

After the show was over, Buffett also returned to the hotel suite.

The fund management secretary who followed him pushed up his glasses and said slightly puzzled: "Counting the newly invested companies tonight, President, we have invested in more than 40 companies in the Monkey Country. Is this market potential really so huge? "

She has also conducted private research and found that this area is actually not suitable for Internet investment because the Internet is not yet widely available.

With a population of 9500 million, there are less than 100 million households with computers, and nearly 65% ​​of the country’s population has not yet used smartphones. The most important thing is that the 4G base stations are still commissioned to be built by Longguo, which they do not have the ability to build.

To put it mildly, there is huge room for development in the transitional period of the Internet.

To put it bluntly, the industrial foundation is poor, the Internet foundation is poor, it doesn’t matter what you want, it is a proper agricultural planting country.

Buffett did not answer her in a hurry, but went to the sofa and sat down on his own. He skillfully took out the cigar box from the inner pocket of his suit and opened it, revealing two brown cigars inside.

He took one out and put it under his nose, took a deep breath and tasted the aroma, and then said lightly: "Investment should not only focus on the present, but should take a long-term view to see the final returns."

"I understand."

The secretary nodded in understanding.

She was actually confused, but she didn't dare to continue asking.

Although I don’t know why Buffett invested in Yue Monkey Company, which is completely opposite to her previous investment style, she is just a secretary and cannot control what her boss does.

……

When Buffett was still making plans in Vietnam, the current CEO of Apple, Pou Ke, was not idle. He personally came to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, to promote the new Apple 7 machine.

In the mobile phone market in Southeast Asia, Apple's market share has always been good, crushing other mobile phones.

Of course.

He's not here just for publicity either.

If you want to increase your brand influence, investing in and building a factory is the best choice. It can not only solve local employment problems, but also supply mobile phones locally and reduce transportation costs.

However, after walking around for a few times, he also discovered that the hands of Longguo Enterprise were really long.

In terms of logistics and express delivery, YTO International and Best Huitong are the first to have faults, and the online shopping platform has also been faulted by Alibaba. It is a bit difficult to solve the root cause of Longxing Technology.

Since it can't be solved at the root cause, Pou Ke has already understood that this offensive and defensive battle may really have to be fought with money.

And the other side.

The United States across the ocean.

At the Neuralink company located in San Francisco, at its research and development base, several experimental monkeys are being ruthlessly decapitated and implanted with the latest model of brain-computer interface.

In the observation room, Masik was watching attentively.

Ever since he watched Chen Xing's "PPT conference", he felt an inexplicable sense of pressure. He increased his investment in brain-computer interfaces overnight, trying to produce results before Longxing Technology Company.

However, this was already the ninety-sixth experiment. If it failed again, he would have to think about the feasibility of the technology.

"Squeak——"

The monkey on the experimental table screamed and struggled, but because it was fixed, it couldn't move at all.

"Experimental Subject No. 96 is conscious and has no rejection reaction yet."

However, at this moment, the immobilized experimental monkey suddenly struggled violently, its eyes were bloodshot and red, and it kept baring its teeth and howling, as if it was suffering from some great pain, and it fell silent in the blink of an eye.

The experimenter who witnessed this scene had no expression on his face, picked up his notebook and recorded: "No. 96 had a severe rejection reaction."

Followed by.

A few more monkeys are awake.

But without exception, they all developed severe rejection reactions within 3 minutes, and their brains died spontaneously.

Just when everyone thought that this experiment was the same as usual, another monkey slowly woke up.

The experimenter came to it and recorded it. He thought it would die within three minutes, but five minutes later, it was still alive and kicking, and it didn't adapt at all.

"Team leader, come here quickly."

The experimenter immediately called his supervisor.

Not a moment. One after another people came to watch.

"Oh my god! A miracle happened!"

"There was no biological rejection, so our research and development was successful?"

"Try neuron connections."

Masik, who was in the observation room, saw this scene and quickly went to the locker room to change into a white coat and went straight to the experimental area.

Philip Skovo, chief brain-computer interface R&D chief, saw Masik arriving and immediately shared the good news:

"President, as you can see, our improvement direction is not wrong, and the exclusion problem has been gradually solved."

“Are the neurons connected?”

Masik asked with a happy face.

"Not yet." Philip Skovo replied, looking at the assistant beside him and saying: "Prepare neuron connections."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the monkey, who had been jumping around just now, suddenly had bloodshot eyes, scratched his head frantically, and kept roaring at Masik and the others.

As usual in experiments, severe rejection results in death.

After everyone was stunned, the experimenter who recorded the time reported the data: "Experimental Subject No. 101 suffered a severe rejection reaction, and the time to wake up was 17 minutes."

Although the experimental monkey also died, it gave Masik hope.

Because at the beginning, the monkey implanted with the brain-computer interface could not last for ten seconds. Now it can last for 17 minutes. In the future, it will definitely be able to achieve no rejection.

As for why he is eager to make a brain-computer interface, it is also inseparable from "eternal life". Because he was influenced by science fiction movies, he wanted to know whether human brain data could be uploaded.

Compared to other people extending their physical lifespan, he hopes that he can upload his consciousness and achieve unlimited lifespan.

Of course.

This is just his final wish.

For now, he is only making brain-computer interfaces to move in the direction of virtual reality. He knows very well how big the market is.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he is allowed to realize virtual reality, gaming, social interaction, and life will all usher in revolutionary changes, and all mankind will usher in a new era.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

Wall Street, New York.

In this world-class business district, the building standing in the center is particularly eye-catching.

It towers into the clouds, and its glass curtain walls shine dazzlingly in the sun, showing an unparalleled sense of modernity.

The entrance of the building is spacious and grand, and the automatic sensor door welcomes every visitor, and this place is called Belle Building.

As the name suggests.

This is the headquarters of the Balay Group.

On the top floor of the Bailey Building, Maria was reporting the news she had learned.

"Longguo Eye Email, Longxing Technology not only acquired sixteen copycat phone companies and integrated a large amount of production capacity, but also reached cooperation with more than a dozen parts suppliers."

"In addition, their company also admitted on Weibo that it has already launched a Longxing A series mobile phone, which may be a new flagship to enter the international market."

When Maria finished her report, the handsome long-haired man sitting in the office chair thought for a moment and asked, "I understand, is there any new progress in the alliance?"

"The World Bluetooth Alliance has decided to remove Longxing Technology Company from the list, and they will no longer be able to use Bluetooth connections."

Maria paused for a moment and continued: "Parfait, Pou Ke, and Mollenkopf are all planning to expand into Southeast Asia. In addition, the boss of MediaTek seems to have the idea to cooperate with us."

"MediaTek?"

"Yes, MediaTek."

After receiving the second confirmation, the handsome man's face flashed with contemplation, and then he relaxed and said: "You can contact me, he may be a good chess piece."

He is very aware of the characteristics of the Southeast Asian market, and MediaTek processors can cope with this sinking market.

If we really have to fight a price war, then the more money we can save, the better.

"One more thing, there is a Longguo manufacturer CEO named Xu Jinshui, who said he has a way to deal with Longxing Technology Company."

As soon as Maria finished speaking, a flash of surprise flashed in the deepest part of the handsome man's pupils, and he said slightly puzzled: "The CEO of Dragon Kingdom Manufacturer?"

"I heard there was a grudge between them."

"So that's it."

"Do you want to use him?"

"Observe and observe first. Find out more about him and don't lay the foundation for trouble."

"understood."

After receiving permission, Maria also exited the top leader's office, then stepped on high heels and walked quickly to her own office.

……

While all parties were surging with undercurrents and making arrangements, Long Kingdom had just ushered in the morning, and the light that arrived on time passed through the windows and illuminated the entire room brightly.

The light shone into his eyes, and Chen Xing also woke up from his sleep.

He lazily sat up from the bed, stretched out, rubbed his sleepy eyes and picked up his phone to check WeChat.

You don't need to think about it to know that dozens of messages have been accumulated to be processed.

"Forget it, we'll deal with it later, let's have breakfast first." Chen Xing didn't rush to deal with it, and turned off the screen of his phone directly.

Because he was so busy yesterday, he first discussed the parts supply chain, then went to Kunpeng Company to pick up the Hongmeng system, and then went to Tengfei Industrial Park to inspect and accept the 16-inch semiconductor silicon wafer and 10^20ArF photoresist. He even forgot about dinner. have eaten.

When I got home in the early morning, I grabbed a few biscuits to cushion my stomach, and then went to bed. Now my stomach was already protesting.

After Chen Xing got dressed and walked out of the room, the range hood in the kitchen was working loudly. It was obvious that Liang Ruolan was making breakfast.

The advantage of living with your parents is that you can have a hot meal when you wake up.

Chen Yapeng, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room, heard the sound of the door opening. He immediately looked in the direction of Chen Xing and said, "Xiao Xing is awake? I want to tell you a happy news."

"Good morning dad, what's the happy event?" Chen Xing looked confused and walked to the sofa in the living room.

After Chen Xing sat down on the sofa, Chen Yapeng took out a pair of red scissors and said, "The R&D building and the main office building of our Bantian base are capped today. You have to go and cut the ribbon."

"Capped? So soon?"

Chen Xing was stunned for half a second, but thinking about it carefully, it was indeed very recent.

According to the speed at which the construction team in Shenzhen City climbs the buildings, it takes three days to build one floor, and now it is indeed necessary to reach the capping stage.

"I'm not happy." Chen Yapeng waved his hand and continued: "The building has only been completed now, and it will take time to decorate the interior, but I expect it to be put into use in early March."
