Smith sat at his desk with his legs crossed. He was drinking afternoon tea and reading the newspaper to pass the time.
As the person in charge of the embassy and consulate, when there is no diplomatic incident or when one of his own citizens commits an offense, he is generally very leisurely. He enjoys this feeling very much. There are no reporters following behind to monitor whether he is wasting money.
With taxpayers' money, you can enjoy afternoon tea comfortably during working hours.
It would be nice if the air here was a little better, but of course he also knew that everything couldn't be perfect.
However, with the sound of the door opening, his afternoon tea was ruined.
"Mr. Smith, I think this is the second time I've seen you drinking afternoon tea during office hours." A young man with yellow skin and a middle-parted hairstyle walked in resolutely and pulled his hand unceremoniously.
A chair sat in front of Smith's desk and he said in a teasing tone.
If Zhu Tian were here, he would be surprised to find that this Chinese young man is Zhang Xiaofeng, who claimed to be a staff member of the embassy and persuaded him to immigrate.
"Ahem, are you CIA people so idle that you start grabbing the Inspector General's job?" After complaining, Smith honestly stuffed the gossip newspaper in his hand into the drawer and crossed his fingers on the table: "Say
Well, you got into some trouble again."
This Zhang Xiaofeng is not an embassy staff member at all. Although he has a name in the embassy, he is actually an agent of the CIA. Only Smith, the consul general of the embassy and consulate, knows this secret.
"I didn't cause any trouble, I just got some interesting information from an informant recently." Zhang Xiaofeng took out his iPhone from his pocket and slid it on the table.
Glancing at the closed door, Smith then leaned over and took a look at the photo on the screen.
"Zhu Tian? I have heard of this man, the chairman of Daming Technology. Wall Street seems to be very fond of this man, calling him Steve Jobs II..."
"No one doesn't know him, especially you, the consul general who often reads newspapers during working hours." Zhang Xiaofeng said unceremoniously.
Glancing at this guy dissatisfied, Smith sniffed and ignored his sarcasm.
"So? What's wrong with this guy?"
"Our intelligence has always shown that the value of Daming Technology's artificial intelligence technology in the military industry is not as high as imagined. After all, the principle of Daming Technology 1.0 is just a logical response. Rather than saying that they are outstanding in technology in the software field, it is better to say that they are
Proficient in the humanities and social sciences. Although the encryption method of that database is staggering, it is not sophisticated enough to warrant our action."
"So?" Smith's expression showed a lack of interest.
"Things have changed now."
"Daming Technology has shown value worthy of your investment, right?"
"That's right." Zhang Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and continued: "According to the informant's information, the drone intelligent control system 1.0 program recently designed by ZTE was actually produced by the chief designer of Daming Technology
And chairman of the board——Zhu Tianzhi’s hand.”
"...What an unexpected piece of information." Smith's face showed a serious expression and he leaned back on his chair.
, murmured to himself thoughtfully.
"According to the analysis of informants, this intelligent control system will be used for the 'Xianlong II' high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft under development, and can be used to guide the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile. Originally due to technical bottlenecks,
The development of the control system of 'Xianglong II' has hit a bottleneck and is not expected to be completed until May next year. Just because of this damn Daming Technology, our children in Nanhai are so nervous that they can't sleep again." Zhang Xiaofeng scolded with a smile.
"It's just a piece of software, why are you so excited?" Smith curled his lips.
Giving Smith a sideways glance, Zhang Xiaofeng chuckled.
"According to the information provided by informants and the analysis of the Pentagon's military technical consultants, this artificial intelligence system will make the hardware utilization efficiency of 'Xianlong II' at least 10% higher than the original plan. Do you know what this means?
"
"I don't know, but I feel like the CIA doesn't seem to hate Daming Technology that much." Smith shrugged.
"Of course, because we still have the possibility of cooperation."
"Oh?" Smith looked at Zhang Xiaofeng with interest: "Cooperation?"
"Yes, according to my investigation, Daming Technology has conflicts with Linhua Group in Shanghai City. Linhua Group has 'relationships' in the political circles of Shanghai City, so the development of Daming Technology is hindered. In order to deal with the 'relationship'
Due to the suppression, he had to dedicate that intelligent system to ZTE Hi-Tech to gain protection." Zhang Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a playful smile: "We can completely use this as an entry point to instigate rebellion against him, the ticket to the free world, the capital world
With support, I believe he will not be unmoved."
"It's really a damn relationship. God, this word is so hard to pronounce, but I like it." Smith laughed.
"So I need your help." Zhang Xiaofeng leaned on the chair and crossed his fingers.
"No problem, I'm happy to help, but what if he's not interested?"
"Then letting him have an accident can be regarded as a warning to the team behind him."
...
After sending Ye Qingguo away, Zhu Tian stood alone in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. It was really that the trees were quiet but the wind was not stopping.
The storm is coming!
Inside Lin Hua Building.
Wang Linhua sat at his desk with a gloomy expression.
The fat meat that he was about to get actually slipped away from under his eyes, but he was helpless. When such a thing happened, of course he was not in a good mood. Because Zhu Tian suddenly took out the useless piece of meat.
With the human-machine intelligent control system 1.0, all his plans were disrupted.
The domestic real estate industry is shrinking day by day, and the problem of price but no market in the property market is becoming more and more obvious. Although Linhua Group was very profitable in 2008, it is becoming increasingly unprofitable now. And with the aging of the population and oversupply of housing and other problems becoming more and more serious,
It highlights that the downward trend of the real estate industry is almost irreversible.
Even with the recent introduction of a series of intensive interest rate cuts and reserve requirement ratios, as well as policies such as opening up the second child, it is still difficult to reverse the inevitable trend of the real estate industry from prosperity to decline.
Just like the coal industry, which was once popular but is now in dire straits, the real estate industry will eventually face the same end.
This is reflected in the precarious financial report of Linhua Group. Although it is still making profits, the profit margin has become increasingly narrow.
Wang Linhua, who has foreseen the final outcome of this industry, naturally will not sit still and wait for death.
There are only two choices before Linhua Group.
The first is to explore overseas markets, and the second is to transform the industry.
It is very difficult to open up overseas markets, and the reason is very simple. It is precisely because of the status of the largest shareholder of Linhua Group. Although this jacket is very useful in China, it is not so popular abroad. As for the reasons, there are not many.
Said, but in short, the current situation is that if you want to carve out a bloody road abroad, you have to spend a lot of money to do it. Although Linhua Group is rich, it is not a state-owned enterprise like PetroChina that can ignore profits and losses and receive financial subsidies.
, although this road can be taken, the price is a bit high.
What’s more, overseas is not within the Wang family’s sphere of influence. This undoubtedly adds too many variables to investment. Your family won’t dare to cheat you, but it’s different when you go outside. Prince Nai’s experience on Wall Street has undoubtedly told the story of those who work there.
Domestic leaders who have been "spoiled" may not be able to withstand the test of capital when they truly stand on the international stage.
Out of caution, Wang Linhua did not activate the first option.
In contrast, industrial transformation is slightly easier. Just like what coal bosses did after they disposed of the loss-making coal mines, some invested in sports, some invested in movies, and some even went to the real estate industry to "eat the leftovers"
”.
Originally, Linhua Group was preparing to enter the entertainment industry, but at this moment, the sudden rise of Daming Technology made Wang Linhua tempted.
All it takes is a piece of software, a few servers, and dozens of programmers and salesmen to run it. Once the software is recognized by the market, the money will simply fly in.
Although he covets the profits of Daming Technology, Wang Linhua also clearly knows that the Internet industry is an industry where huge profits and risks coexist. Even Buffett does not dare to invest in this thing. It can be seen that the risks and benefits in this industry are simply completely different.
Not proportional.
Ever since, he had some twisted thoughts.
The risk is high, but it is only for those Internet companies that have not yet found a stable profit channel. For Daming Technology, which has already developed a profit channel, there is no risk. As long as it controls Daming Technology and uses it as an entry point to
As it enters the Internet industry, Linhua Group will be able to complete its industrial transformation smoothly!
Daming Technology is in good operating condition and has a stable capital chain. Wall Street bosses can't pry away Zhu Tian's shares with bundles of banknotes, but Wang Linhua doesn't have that much trouble. In China, if you just have money, it's just a fart (
Although I am nothing if I don’t have money), otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people running away with money.
But hasn’t Zhu Tian run away yet? Daming Technology’s main business is also in China, and before it completely goes global, it’s a good opportunity to “get started”!
As long as he controls Daming Technology, while enjoying the existing benefits, he will lead the development of Daming Technology into the military industry. Intelligentization of military industry happens to be one of the strategic priorities in the development of national defense science and technology. This will not only add more political power to the Wang family.
More chips can also enable the Linhua Group, the core industry of the Wang family, to smoothly survive the crisis of the real estate industry downturn.
It's literally killing two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of man...
