Global monopoly of technology

Bionic Man No. 1 August Fron took the task out to acquire Horizon Security. The acquisition of the company can complete the transaction within one month without any accident.

But August alone is not enough. The core managers of Horizon Security must be their own people, and the middle and lower levels can recruit real employees to work for the company.

Next, Luo Sheng began to manufacture a second bionic human. The organs in the incubation room have matured. After August walked out of the laboratory, he could soon enter the manufacturing of the second bionic human. Three, fourth...

With the current efficiency, one bionic person can be manufactured in a month at most. There are many “parts” such as organs and tissues in the incubation room, but there is only one operating table in the liquid pool of the “assembly” platform, which is an expensive operating table of up to $1 billion. Even if Luo Shengchao has money, he can't spend so much.

After the second bionic person is manufactured, Luo Sheng can liberate himself. For the following things, the bionic person can take over his work to make the bionic person. In the future, he only needs to give orders, and the specific things will be fine. Let the tool man do it.

...

With the passage of time, such days of peacefully climbing technology did not last long. Luo Sheng's beautiful days ended with Wang Wang about to do things.

July.

The second quarter reports of major listed companies have also been released. The 2017 Q2 financial report of Bluestar Technology Group was released on July 12.

Bluestar's global revenue in the quarter was US$64.2 billion, and its net profit increased sharply to US$10.9 billion. The net profit rate for the quarter was as high as 17%, a year-on-year increase of nearly double, exceeding Wall Street analysts’ expectations.

Stimulated by the Q2 performance, the market value of Bluestar Technology also ushered in a good increase. In July, it set a new high of US$1.76 trillion since the company went public, and its total market value reached US$1.77 trillion.

The second-quarter audit report of the Côte d’Azur has also been released. Global sales for the quarter were US$189.72 billion, a decrease of approximately US$20 billion from the previous quarter. This is within the company’s internal expectations because of Azure-5’s Sales have passed the hot sales period and have begun to cool down.

But even so, the performance of the Côte d'Azur in the two quarters of the first half of the year, together, is already close to the total sales of last year. Such dazzling performance cannot be separated from the contribution of Azure-5.

Net profit also hit a new high again, with a net profit of US$28.45 billion this quarter.

I don’t know if it’s because of the bright financial reports of Luo Sheng’s two companies that Daowang was stimulated. A few days after the disclosure of the second quarter reports, that is, on July 13, the news came out that Daowang signed it. A presidential memorandum was issued, requesting the Ministry of Commerce to conduct limited investigations on whether imports of Internet service products and consumer electronics products threaten the national security of Mg.

...

Mid-July.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is participating in a video conference of the company's senior management in his private office.

Yao Jianhong, who participated in the meeting, said: "This so-called memorandum requires the head of North American Department of Commerce Wilbo Ross to start the investigation of North American imported products and services as soon as possible. According to a statement issued by the North American Department of Commerce, the adjustment Various factors such as production capacity, labor, investment, research and development will be involved to determine whether imported products threaten so-called national security."

Another manager who attended the meeting suddenly said: "Everyone with a discerning eye can see that this is aimed at us. The last time we talked about it, it has only been a year since I made trouble for you again. The erratic nature of riding horses is endless."

Seeing that executive swearing, Luo Sheng smiled lightly, and did not start to speak.

The two companies are indeed able to make money, but it is impossible for others to make you safe and secure. These are two different things.

It’s pretty good that Lao Mei can earn you a stable income for a year. It takes a lot of effort and negotiation. If it’s not for hard and rigid enough, let alone one year, one month’s chances may not necessarily be available. .

Yao Jianhong continued: "Wilbo Ross said in an interview that he will conduct a comprehensive investigation quickly and, if necessary, will take actions to protect the national security of the magnesium nation, workers and enterprises from threats from foreign companies. After a thorough investigation, If it is confirmed that the imported consumer-grade electronic products pose any threat to national security, a report including recommendations for implementation measures will be submitted."

The meaning between the lines is obvious.

After reporting the matter briefly, Yao Jianhong immediately added his own opinion: “According to the relevant laws in North America, they do have the right to control imports by adjusting tariffs and quotas.”

Luo Sheng knocked on Erlang’s legs and said slowly: “They make so many expressions for one purpose, employment, employment or employment. They want me to choose to build a factory in North America first, preferably all Azure mobile phones, ieP tablets and ACC game consoles. They are all manufactured in North America."

Judging from past historical records, Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur have almost bid farewell to the North American market many times. It would be easy if the United States decided to decouple five years ago, but today it is not easy to drive the Cote d'Azur out of North America.

Because it hurts the old beauty herself.

The reason is also very simple. California and Silicon Valley technology companies on the west coast of North America were the first to refuse to agree. Although Silicon Valley technology companies and Luo Sheng's companies compete with each other, they have a close relationship with each other as partners.

There is a complete quarrel. Silicon Valley and California, which rely on technology to feed their food, will inevitably suffer heavy losses. They are definitely the first group to disagree, and so does Wall Street.

On the whole, there is no benefit to the elite group with a large vested interest in North America, and it is bound to be opposed. Whether it is useful is one thing.

Obviously, there was a huge divergence of interests within the other party, and no consensus was reached. This has led to the desire to drive Luo Sheng out of the North American market in recent years, but in the end he failed to do so, and now it is starting to riot again.

Luo Sheng held his jaw in deep thought, and everyone at the meeting did not speak.

At the end, Luo Sheng put his hands down and looked at the participants on the screen, analyzed and made decisions in an orderly manner:

"They also did a lot of homework at this time. Don't look at the news reports that are bluffing. In fact, they also want to talk, but because of face, they don't take the initiative to come to talk, so they lack an opportunity to meet and negotiate. As long as there is this opportunity, negotiations can begin."

Hearing this, Yao Jianhong thought a little and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Luo, the opportunity you said is the Summer Davos Forum to be held in the middle of this month?"

Luo Sheng nodded and said concisely: "Yes."

They all have tempers, they all want to talk, and they all know the other person's temper, so they need a step and an opportunity.

And the Summer Davos Forum is a perfect step. It feels like I didn’t want to meet you at first. I planned to do it directly. But now that I met in Davos, I’m here, let’s talk by the way. It's not impossible.

Luo Sheng looked around the attendees on the video screens and said: "My little princess is about to be born, and it's just these days, so I won't join in the fun at the Summer Davos Forum held in Ben Thanh. How to talk about the previous meeting has already made a complete plan, just follow the talk."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help showing the bright smile of Xidangda, and the executives who attended the meeting also laughed.

Yao Jianhong smiled in surprise: "Really? Congratulations to Mr. Luo in advance. Leave the company's affairs to us. I will visit Davos myself."

Luo Sheng said solemnly: "You can't miss any of your red envelopes."

"Haha, that is natural and necessary."

Other executives who attended the meeting also congratulated the big boss in advance, and the video conference ended after a few minutes.

...

From July 17th to 19th, the three-day Summer Davos Forum was held in Bencheng as scheduled. Most of the well-known bigwigs from the economic circle, business circle, and Internet have appeared, such as Mr. Ma of Ari.

Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology are not absent every year, but Luo Sheng never participates. It is Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen who represent the company to participate in this forum exchange summit.

This time, accompanied by the memorandum signed by Wang Wang, the media and industry insiders are quite expecting whether Luo Sheng will appear in Davos this time.

As a result, on the day of the opening of the conference, the expectation was finally lost. Luo Sheng still did not show up in Davos. As the most influential or perhaps not one of the most influential leaders in contemporary technology and business, he would inevitably have some regrets not to come.

On the afternoon of July 18, a local Hyatt hotel.

Yao Jianhong stared at the North American negotiators headed by Wilbur Lowe sitting opposite him, and said calmly:

"There are no third-party eyes and ears here, and the content of the negotiations will not be kept on file. The negotiation is impossible. If you leave the meeting room, nothing has happened. Let's open the skylight and talk. The tariff adjustment can be done in the outside world. Now Finally, I took the opportunity of the Davos exchange to meet up. It's best to talk about something real. This is good for both parties, isn't it?
