Chapter 156: Imperialism will kill me and my heart will not die
"Nike Air Zoom" came out ahead of schedule. Knight glanced at the designers around him and saw excitement in their eyes, but more of a hint of helplessness. They were indeed helpless. Liu Lang was engaged in entertainment every day, but the results were random.
Draw a design and overwhelm everyone, what is this?
Well, anyway, Liu Lang is one of our own, and our own people just feel helpless, while their opponents only have despair, so no one will say anything.
"Louis, please put this design plan away and prepare it immediately. In the second half of the year, we will try to develop this shoe and use it on running shoes first. If successful, it will be used on basketball shoes immediately, preferably on the seventh generation of Jordan."
Knight 100% believed in Liu Lang, because history has proven that as long as Liu Lang makes a decision, he will not lose money, and everything will usher in peak sales. As long as this shoe can be made, it will definitely be a classic of Nike.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
The other party nodded immediately, and then put away the design drawing very carefully.
After finishing his trip to Nike, Liu Lang flew from Silicon Valley to New York. This is the headquarters of Wan'an Company. He wanted to meet the computer king.
Of course Wan An and Liu Lang are old friends. They are like family members. Liu Lang rushed to the other party's office directly.
"Little guy, I heard from Wan He that you have established a factory in China. What are the benefits?"
Wan An was very happy to see Liu Lang. He tried his best to persuade him to develop personal computers back then. He didn't understand it at the time, but looking back now, if he had insisted on going his own way, the company would not have become the number one in the United States now.
As for the computer company, most of the credit goes to Liu Lang.
Of course, Wan'an didn't know that if Liu Lang didn't urge the other party to transform, it wouldn't be a matter of whether it could become the number one computer company in the United States, but whether Wan'an could still exist. It can be said that Liu Lang saved Wan'an.
install.
"Old sir, my second brother is right. I have indeed established a machine tool manufacturing company in China. It is doing well now. It will make several million yuan in profit this year, and I believe it will be even more next year."
In China, Liu Lang goes to SMIC twice a year. Wanhe's Wan'an Software Development Co., Ltd. is established in Shanghai. The two of them can meet several times a year. Wan'an Software Development Co., Ltd. and Liu Lang
What about 20% of the shares.
Now, the main product of Wan'an Company is software with various functions. In this regard, Wan'an Company is leading the way. Wan'an Software Development Co., Ltd. is also rising. If it goes public, its market value will not be lower than that of Microsoft. Both are worth one billion US dollars.
Level, but now the headquarters of Wan'an Software Development Co., Ltd. has moved back to the United States from Shanghai, mainly because of the US government. They ordered the other party to do this in order to restrict China. They are just branches in China, but they are still technically similar.
of.
The U.S. government prevents Wan'an Company from exporting technology to China. They have not said this explicitly, but the continuous punishment of Wan'an Company is enough for them. They have no choice but to take the software development business back to the United States. Fortunately, some Chinese still remain in the United States.
In China, they mainly help to cultivate domestic talents, and they also go to universities to teach for a period of time every year. The Chinese government expresses its understanding of Wan'an Company and also gives these people very good treatment, because talents are the most important, as long as
China now has its own technical personnel and is not afraid of not having technology in the future.
Liu Lang has long been accustomed to the hegemony of Americans. For the United States, the whole world is his back garden, and he can deal with anyone he doesn't like. Today, China and the United States are still in their honeymoon period, and China is not theirs in any aspect.
opponents, in this case they must always be on guard against each other. Obviously, in their eyes, China has never been a friend.
This became even more obvious more than 20 years later. At that time, China was already very powerful and the second largest economy in the world. But in the eyes of Americans, they still had to do whatever they wanted. They would block your technology today and impose some tariffs on you tomorrow.
Wait, as a great man said at that time: Imperialism is determined to destroy itself...
But this life is not the previous one. The national chip industry has begun to take off. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on chips every year. Liu Lang doesn’t know what this number was during this period in the previous life, but I’m afraid it must be very few, so that’s why
If we lag behind others in the future, this life will be completely different. The state is investing heavily and the chip industry is developing rapidly. If the two countries continue to develop at this rate, if the two countries compete in two decades, it is still unclear who will win.
No matter how big Wan'an Company is, it can't be bigger than the United States, so Liu Lang didn't blame the other party. If it were him, he would have to do the same thing. At most, he would secretly "save the country", and Wan An does have a strong affection for the motherland.
, they donate money to the country every year. In addition to increasing investment in the country’s education, they also give two million US dollars to the Youth Development Foundation every year, which is more than Liu Lang gives. Therefore, Liu Lang’s relationship with Wanan Company
Nothing has changed.
"Oh, it's only a few million yuan, that's not much! This is not like your style!"
Wan An joked.
"Take your time. I believe that within five years, my company's products will appear in the U.S. market. Maybe one day in the future, I will manufacture Wanan's products!"
"Haha, you are quite confident, but I believe in your words because you are a genius!"
Wan An's two sons, Wan He and Wan Lie, were both present. Now Wan An is seventy years old. In his previous life, at this age, because the company's failure was certain, he suffered from acute depression and severe mental illness. He did not live past ninety years.
He died with hatred. In this life, his destiny has completely changed. At the age of seventy, he is in very good spirits. It seems that there will be no problem in working for a few more years. And his two
The son is also very good. Needless to say, the second son Wanhe is a technical master. He has developed one new program after another with a group of technical geniuses, fully unleashing his talents. The eldest son Wanlie is quite like his father.
He is charming and doesn't like to talk, but he is decisive in doing things. He has been given a lot of power in the company, and he seems to be able to handle it now.
After all, Wan An is still a Chinese. He has a family concept in his heart and feels that the company he founded must be passed on to his son. This is different from the Western concept. It is still unclear how it will end. After all, he is still in charge now, and his subordinates also listen.
If the time comes for him to "pass the throne", if he really gives it to his son, I'm afraid it won't go smoothly at that time, so he can only take it one step at a time.
The few people chatted very well. Of course, most of them were Wan An and his son asking questions, and Liu Lang was answering their questions. Many of them were about what Liu Lang mentioned in the book "Digital Survival".
