Standing on the high platform, he looked at the people below who were listening carefully to his speech.
Charles, who was wearing a formal suit, felt extremely satisfied.
The status of those people is not inferior to that of him a few years ago, or even higher.
At this moment, I can only listen to my own speech in the audience.
It makes people sigh at the changes in the situation and the impermanence of things.
Back then, since he successfully became Saladin's student, he had borrowed a lot of influence from Saladin in a pretentious manner.
That is undoubtedly a great convenience.
Hereditary aristocrat, top transcendent person, chairman of a multinational company, power, strength and money, this trinity of identities is indeed very impressive.
Many people who were originally above him had to give him three points of face.
Then Charles used this as a basis, supplemented by a lot of information from the future, and kept climbing upwards.
It only took half the time to achieve a status that was almost the same as at the peak of his previous life.
Even more stable!
It made him feel like he was about to finish the second episode of the game.
Although even so, the loss of the [one-time save point] cannot be restored, but at least I feel a lot better.
At least he had a chance to make amends for many of the things he was originally aggrieved about, which could be regarded as resolving some of his knots.
After sorting out his various thoughts, Charles continued to speak in an orderly manner: "As for the cooperation with Optical Flow Company, as I said before, it is a small communicator, which is larger than the old communicators we use now.
It is two-thirds smaller, and the signal is better, so I decided to invest a considerable amount of funds in that project. Do you have any suggestions?"
After a brief silence, a bald man in his forties raised his hand and said: "We have never even heard of that so-called optical flow company. I really doubt their technical capabilities."
"That's right."
"Indeed."
"..."
Once someone takes the lead, the rest of the group will follow suit and express their opinions.
For a time, there were basically voices of opposition in the room, with only a few expressing support for Charles' decision.
Charles is not upset about this. After all, Optical Flow Company does not have much reputation and looks like an ordinary small company.
It is hard to believe that it has the capital to carry out technological innovation and lead the future communications industry.
Under such circumstances, it is a bit unrealistic to rely on just a few words to win everyone's approval.
If he hadn't been a file-reading cheater and knew that Streamer would unify the communications industry in the future and be called the world's number one company, he wouldn't have dared to invest so much money at once.
After all, if it fails, even if Saladin is behind it, those investors will make him look good.
Charles smiled and explained: "Of course you can rest assured about that issue. I have already obtained two finished products from them, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of technology. The most important issues such as miniaturization, signal issues, and mass production efficiency have been taken care of by the other party."
solve."
At this point, he took out two objects the size of an adult's palm. They were shaped like flat discs and were covered with various buttons.
It looks like there is no substantial difference from the previous generation of mobile phones.
To be honest, when he saw this thing in his last life, Charles almost thought that someone else had traveled through time and came here to make mobile phones and make money.
That feeling was a bit joyful, but also a bit wary. After all, a fellow countryman stabbed a fellow countryman in the back when he saw a fellow countryman.
It was not until later, after repeated testing, that he was sure that the people from Streamer Company were indeed natives of this world, and that although this thing similar to a mobile phone had functions and shapes very close to that of a mobile phone, the actual principle was just like steam.
Cars are the same as gasoline cars. The gap is huge and they are not a category at all.
After figuring this out, he didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed. Anyway, his heart was very complicated.
After taking out the small communication tool, he handed them to the people on both sides of him, allowing them to pass them on and watch.
"After I went to their company for an on-site inspection, I can confirm that this technology has been thoroughly understood by the other party. There are no problems whether it is the stability of the actual function or the convenience of mass production, so we only need to be responsible for selling it."
It was said to be sales, but Charles and the powerful people below knew very well that it was actually more of a guarantee for this new thing, so that ordinary people could be sure that this thing was not a fake.
He held the thing in his hand, bumped it, tried the weight, and then held it in his hand again to observe it for a while.
Although he still didn't understand how to use it, a certain noble asked another question of great concern: "In that case, what is the selling price and profit of this thing?"
Charles replied calmly: "The selling price is classified according to the quality, ranging from 1,000 to 2,000, and the profit we can obtain is about a quarter of the selling price."
Hearing this price, everyone present nodded. Although this price is not cheap, most ordinary people can squeeze it out in three or four months by frugally, and it is about twice as cheap as the original communicator.
This means that its popularity will definitely be better than that of old communicators in the future, which represents considerable benefits.
"After we formally reach a cooperation with the streamer company, I will distribute the regional sales rights of this thing to you according to your sphere of influence. And I will take a corresponding commission based on the sales volume, probably 10% of the pure profit.
one."
None of the dignitaries present had any objections to this, because these were the rules between them, and it was with these rules that they were able to join forces to gather most of the interests in their hands and greatly inhibit the development of the common people.
Every thing that is popular or about to become popular must be in their hands to achieve a long-term monopoly.
Only when they have had enough to eat and drink can the people below have the right to stretch their hands up.
And those lucky people who successfully seize the opportunity can pick up their leftovers and escape from their original class as long as the opportunity is right.
This is also the path they deliberately left for each other. After all, the necessary promotion path is necessary to maintain stability, and blood needs to be continuously circulated to stay fresh.
The lucky ones who succeed will be qualified for the top, while those who fail in various struggles will be knocked down.
Although he will not directly become a civilian, his identity and status will still plummet, and he can only lurk and wait for opportunities.
It is precisely because of this constant alternation that the powerful people in this world have successfully ruled the world for countless years.
Every time Charles thinks about it, he feels sad for the common people in this world. This kind of ruling policy that has not undergone any substantial changes for thousands of years has long solidified social classes and thinking concepts, and neither the upper nor the lower classes have changed.
I feel something is wrong and regard it as the truth like sunrise and sunset.
However, when he thought that he was sitting in the position of an exploiter, Charles immediately felt nothing. After all, the position where his butt was sitting was quite comfortable, and he was born to stand in the second half of the runway.
Another powerful person asked again: "By the way, is there any way we can imitate this kind of thing?"
Although he watched it for a long time and did not understand the specific principle of this thing, it did not prevent him from asking such questions.
Faced with this question, Charles could only shake his head and said: "Their production technology is at least twenty years behind our country, so imitation is not realistic. Our costs will be higher than theirs, and our profits will be lower than theirs, and the products are still inferior."
It’s better not to have them.”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately retracted their thoughts.
Even if it is a monopoly business, facing this kind of difference, it is impossible for ordinary people to buy it.
What they don't know is that in addition to this problem, there is another reason why Charles does not want to offend the streamer company. He knows very well that in the future it will be a behemoth spanning various fields. If he offends them now, there will be no good consequences in the future.
.
As for intercepting them before they have developed, it is not a good option.
As far as he knew, none of those women was easy to mess with, whether it was in terms of power or strength.
More importantly, the core technology is in the hands of the main managers. They are managers and developers. He can't cut it...
