Global monopoly of technology

After the end of the first day of today’s conference, the organizers planned a grand dinner. The conference will continue tomorrow. Today’s main exchange is "T", which is the topic of science and technology. The next two days will focus on "Entertainment". "And "design" two major areas.

But Luo Sheng won't show up to participate. After attending today's dinner, he will leave Shencheng tomorrow morning.

"Mr. Luo. Your speech is very good. Global health issues have always been an area that I have been very concerned about. Maybe we can have some cooperation."

During the dinner, Bill Gates, the former richest man in the world, had a table with Luo Sheng. He took the initiative to open up this topic for exchanges, and he was obviously interested in life sciences.

"It's a great honor, but I didn't expect that the first person to respond to my call was you, Mr. Bill." Luo Sheng said with a smile: "There is a chance to work together, but these tools must be integrated under a global health system."

At the same table are all tech giants, and everyone is also very curious. The former richest man in the world and the richest man in the world today have expressed urgent concern about global health issues, and they have a lot of interest in this field. interest.

Gates chatted: "I very much agree with what you said in your speech. We must be in a state of preparation. The best example comes from preparing for war. For soldiers, they are always ready to go to war. There are also reserve soldiers that can greatly increase the population preparing for war. For example, NATO has a mobile team that can act quickly. There are many war games to predict. Are the personnel well-trained?"

Gates watched Luo Sheng methodically and said: "...Do they understand fuel, supplies, the same radio frequency, etc.? If so, then they are ready, and these are things we should prepare for when facing the epidemic. , But what are the key projects?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but fall into contemplation. Before he was not very good at judging whether Gates was polite or sincere, but after hearing what he said now, Luo Sheng has a high probability to judge that Gates is indeed not polite.

After a while, Luo Sheng was also serious. After finishing thinking, he looked at Bill and said clearly: "First, in poor countries and regions, there must be a developed health system, so that mothers can safely give birth to children. Children can be vaccinated, and we can also detect potential outbreaks at a very early stage."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Second, we need a systematic backup medical team, as well as many well-trained professionals, ready to take them to work in the epidemic area with expertise."

Gates nodded repeatedly in agreement, and accepted the words naturally: "You can use the army to cooperate with medical staff, and use the army's fast-moving characteristics to carry out logistics transportation and maintain safety. It also needs to use supercomputers to perform some scenario simulations, not The war game is a germ game to see where the defense loopholes are. I remember that the last germ game was played in the United States in 2001, and it was not going smoothly. Currently germs get 1 point and humans get 0 points."

Luo Sheng said neatly and cleanly: "Then let's cooperate, not to lie to Bill, and everyone, I plan to set up a life science private equity fund with a personal fund of 5 billion US dollars."

Gates invites the cup: "Good."

Luo Sheng immediately smiled and faced the other bosses on the table: "Are you interested in participating?"

The other big guys on the table seemed to understand that the two richest men in the world easily reached a certain consensus. After a while, Larry Page shrugged and smiled happily: "Why not? I donated $200 million in funding. Your life science fund."

Sergey Brin also said readily: "I will give 150 million US dollars to support it."

In this way, Luo Sheng easily raised 2.2 billion US dollars on the table with a single sentence. Gates was the one that he strongly supported, and one person gave 1 billion US dollars.

More importantly, this is funding, not equity participation.

Speaking of which, Gates’ personal investment fund currently holds 3% of Bluestar Technology Group’s stock. Before the IPO, it had already taken the last train and made a follow-up investment, and subsequently increased its holdings. It is now considered Bluestar Technology’s. One of the major shareholders.

The games in the rich circles are vividly reflected here.

Although there is no written agreement, this kind of gentleman's agreement is sometimes more effective than any written contract. What's more, Luo Sheng is no less than their 2.2 billion US dollars. The money is secondary, and interpersonal relationships may be more important than this money.

It is not too easy for Luo Sheng to raise a sum of money now. Many people, both at home and abroad, are extremely keen to give him money to toss. Without him, the aura is still dazzling so far, and Luo Sheng can always bring them. Higher returns.

Next, the big guys started to chat. Most of them were talking about technology, future trends and other element topics. After all, they are big guys in the science and technology industry. Although there is a competitive relationship with each other, it does not hinder the fun at the moment. communicate with.

...

"Mr. Luo stays, can you accept a brief interview with "Huaqing Online"?"

At the end of the dinner, Luo Sheng was intercepted by a beautiful female reporter on the way to leave the venue. Seeing that the opponent's appearance was very good, Luo Sheng nodded and motioned for her to follow.

The female reporter was overjoyed when she saw it.

"The interview time is up to the door." Luo Sheng glanced at her and said, retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.

The female reporter immediately took the time to ask: "Based on the content of your TED speech in the afternoon, do you want to expand into a new field, the life science field."

Luo Sheng: "Yes, at the dinner table just now, about 15 billion (US$2.2 billion) has been raised."

The female reporter was caught off guard. She didn't expect the boss to answer so simply. What surprised her even more was that a huge sum of 15 billion yuan was raised in just one dinner?

However, due to time constraints, she did not have time to entangle these issues, and immediately asked the next question: "In recent years, the phenomenon of Chinese companies going global has shown a blowout trend. Does that mean that many companies actually want to go global and achieve globalization strategies like this? The layout?"

Luo Sheng walked along and replied in a plain tone: "It's just that a few limited companies such as Huawei and Côte d'Azur have experienced blowout growth. What kind of growth is this called? The early development stage of Côte d'Azur was able to be recognized internationally. There are not many who agree. In fact, the most important thing to pay attention to is the problem of where our country is behind. Our applied materials research is very backward, and the precision manufacturing is also very backward. Typical examples are lithography equipment, which Chinese people basically cannot play. turn."

Reporter: "I can't do the core part?"

Luo Sheng: "People can make you so much profit with a single lens. Generally speaking, I mean to be pragmatic. Use other people's technology to compete with others. You treat others as a fool? The core technology of a company depends on yourself, the so-called The core technology cannot be bought or stolen. If it is your own core competitiveness, even if it triggers a flood or a tsunami, it will not overwhelm you. You will still stand tall after the tide ebbs."

When the female reporter was about to conduct the third question interview, Luo Sheng had already reached the exit and said no two. The simple interview ended. The reporter did not have a chance to ask the third question.

His partner looked at the distant boss and muttered to himself: "Following Huawei, Luo Sheng once again won a big victory on behalf of the technical, industrial and trade route, and the boss’s subtext obviously negated Lianxiang’s trade. Technical route."

The female reporter asked her partner: "Do you think that the Trade, Industry and Trade Association will eventually win, or Trade, Industry and Technology? Or can both routes be followed?"

The partner replied without hesitation: "I need to ask? The answer is obvious. Who is the richest man in the world? Take a step back. Even if both routes can go on, there is no doubt that Luo Sheng's technical, industrial and trade route is even better. Steady, let's wait and see if we don't believe it."
