Global monopoly of technology

The next day, a local hotel.

Paul Watson and Luo Sheng met here. He dared not go to the science and technology complex, knowing that there was high technology everywhere, and if the content to be discussed was leaked out, it would explode instantly.

At this moment, Luo Sheng's eyes were full of surprise. He stared at Paul Watson who was sitting opposite him and said, "What? Areyousure?"

Just now, the Goldman Sachs executive briefly explained his purpose here.

Luo Sheng didn't take the other party to respond, and immediately said with a smile again and again: "No, no, old friend, your joke is a bit big."

In fact, Paul Watson knew the other side's PY deal before he even came, but his performance at the moment was impeccable.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Paul Watson asked a question and said in a very contagious voice: "As long as Bluestar Technology slightly changes the code and does some data analysis, some people will buy it at a high price. It will be too easy for you. If Can make..."

Luo Sheng immediately interrupted him and said firmly: "My original vision for establishing this company was to connect all mankind, not to make it a political bargaining chip, Mr. Paul. We do not express any political positions, We do not participate in any political activities, let alone any political transactions. We only carry out normal transnational business activities. We used to be, we are now, and we will continue to do so. It has never changed or will not change."

What an international joke, Luo Sheng has not forgotten the memory of his last life. Facebook, as an Internet technology company in the United States, has put Xiaozha's mind and energy on this matter.

Co-authored a copy of "Cambridge Analytical Incident" and "Algorithm Black Box"?

In the eyes of Lao Mei, the current Bluestar Technology is a foreign company, even participating in the control of the general election, I am afraid that I do not know how to die.

Luo Sheng would rather lose the North American market than jump into this huge pit.

The hook bait is too salty.

After this event, not only Bluestar Technology Group, but also the companies related to itself will become the targets of prevention and suppression by all countries in the world. Today's reputation is hard-won, and it will be impossible to do it if it has ruined the future multinational business. .

This account is not difficult to calculate whether Luo Sheng is making a loss or not, and it is not difficult at all.

Paul Watson said in a sarcastic tone: "Come on, old friend, do you really think your righteous actions can be recognized and supported by the general public? This is a joke, you know, they are just a mob, but they are We are just a tool man of the elite class."

Seeing Luo Sheng indifferently swaying the red wine in the wine glass and sipping himself, Paul Watson didn't care, and continued to speak with impassioned expression in a mocking expression:

"The masses have not really longed for the truth. They will turn a deaf ear to the unpalatable evidence...Anyone who can provide them with illusions can easily become their masters; and whoever disillusioned them will become their victims. ."

"The masses do not have the ability to discern, so they cannot judge the authenticity of things at all. Many viewpoints that cannot withstand scrutiny can easily be universally agreed. If the fallacy is tempting to them, they are more willing to worship the fallacy and grasp the influence. The art of their imagination has mastered the art of ruling them."

Speaking of this, Paul Watson felt almost moved by his emotional speech.

"You drank too much old friend." Luo Sheng smiled.

"No, I didn't drink." Paul Watson stared at Luo Sheng: "North American authorities do not allow the existence of a disobedient non-national super-giant multinational company."

Luo Sheng repeatedly denied and explained: "No, no, no, Mr. Paul, Bluestar Technology Group should not be too obedient, not only in North America, our business operations in any country strictly abide by local laws and regulations, and have won local customers. Respect and recognition, your words are groundless and irresponsible."

Faced with this unreasonable question, Paul Watson stared at the other person after a while and said: "If you refuse, the fake sanctions will become real sanctions. On the contrary, if you join this transaction, you will make a lot of money. "

Luo Sheng's gaze did not shy away from him, and he replied affirmatively: "I refuse."

As soon as this was said, the two sides looked at each other for a long time and fell into a long silence.

In the end, Paul Watson took the initiative to look away, and said in a disappointed tone: "You made a huge mistake, Mr. Luo, you should not offend Wall Street and K Street. No one can be in such a situation. Go through it safely."

This is already a blatant threat.

Luo Sheng said nothing and shrugged silently.

Seeing this, Paul Watson knew that there was no need to continue the discussion, and the other party was determined not to participate.

In the end, when Paul Watson got up to leave, he suddenly turned and looked at Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, can I ask you another question?"

Luo Sheng nodded happily: "Please speak."

Paul Watson looked into his eyes: "In the North American subprime mortgage crisis four years ago, how much did you make from shorting?"

Luo Sheng smiled without changing his face: "Oh, don't be like this old friend, it won't be the case that Wall Street has this conflict with me? We may still be friends in the future."

A fool would admit this matter, and Luo Sheng was absolutely sure that the other party was only suspicious, but there was no substantive evidence.

"I hope so." Paul Watson smiled, did not say anything next, turned around without taking a souvenir and left.

After Luo Sheng watched the other party leave, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a call: "Old Zhang, prepare for an emergency meeting. I'll be here within half an hour."

...

Twenty minutes later, the bluestar technology headquarters, internal core layer meeting.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen and more than a dozen core personnel of the group company gathered together, and they were all curious why Luo Sheng suddenly called them to a meeting, but instinct told them that a major incident occurred in the company.

It didn't take long for Luo Sheng to come, and the closed-door meeting officially began. He sat down in the chief position and said: "I have received reliable news that the biggest crisis in the company's history is coming."

Everyone at the meeting was shocked when they heard this sentence, and never expected Luo Sheng's first sentence to be like this.

Zhang Bowen looked at him subconsciously and said, "Mr. Luo, what happened?"

Luo Sheng didn't hide it, saying: "The people on Wall Street wanted me to participate in their political transactions and use the company's influence to manipulate the 2012 North American election. I refused, and Wall Street is a quarrel."

"what?"
