Global monopoly of technology

Lowell McAdam contacted several Silicon Valley technology giants who had major business dealings with Luo Sheng’s company to explain their goals. The heads of these technology giants were extremely in favor of Lowell’s suggestion and were pleased. Promised him.

So I decided to organize all groups to visit Luo Sheng to tell Luo Sheng that we and Wang Wang are not in the same group. Don’t get me wrong. We still want to continue to happily swing our sculls. The boat of friendship can’t just flip and flip. .

These high-tech giants in the United States can only help themselves now, in a vain attempt to let Mingwang help?Thank God for not making trouble.

...

Cote d'Azur Company.

"Mr. Luo, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam led a delegation of eleven well-known Silicon Valley technology giants' global vice presidents to visit the Côte d’Azur. This is Lowell’s personal letter and a list of personnel, just waiting for your promise , He led a delegation." Tang Xin entered the CEO's office to report.

This is to say hello in advance so that you can prepare later. If you come rushing and have a closed door, Lowell can't afford to lose this face, and Silicon Valley can't afford to lose this face. They don't want to be the next day. I saw some embarrassing content on the news headlines.

They haven't forgotten the embarrassment of the head of ASML.

Luo Sheng took the letter and opened the list, and said in surprise: "Oh, such a luxurious lineup, all my partners, haha, most of these old friends in Silicon Valley can't stand the toss of Wang Wang. Come to me to complain. ."

Luo Sheng, who was delighted to hear about it, immediately looked at Tang Xin: "Okay, in reply, so many Silicon Valley bigwigs come to visit me and I have face, so I'm glad to accept it."

Tang Xin nodded: "Okay, then I will arrange it."

...

After Lowell and others clearly got Luo Sheng’s attitude, they flew from North America to Sioux City two days later. Although they were very low-key when they arrived, they were discovered by some media in the terminal building of Sioux City Airport. .

For a while, it has attracted widespread attention from people in the industry. The most important person should be the head of Verizon, and the others are global vice presidents that have not attracted much attention.

But the problem is that this is not one or two. So many vice presidents and a technology company represented by each person is a well-known industry giant or a top presence in the industry, so it is not an ordinary heavyweight.

After arriving in Sioux City for only one day off to take advantage of the jet lag, he rushed to the headquarters of the Azure Coast, Galaxy City early the next morning.

The meeting time and place were already arranged. Luo Sheng naturally got up early. The meeting place was not in a hotel conference room, office or golf course, but chose Azure-5 at the headquarters of the Blue Coast. General Assembly Department Building.

...

"Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Lowell McAdam, the CEO of Verizon, and this is the Director and Global Executive Vice President of Qualcomm..."

At the door of the building at this moment, Tang Xin introduced Luo Sheng to a group of foreigners who came to visit one by one. After the courtesy meeting and shaking hands and greetings, Luo Sheng, as the host, immediately reached out his hand and gestured to everyone, and immediately led them towards The Azure-5 assembly line went inside.

Lowell McAdam and others found that this meeting was quite different from what they expected. They didn't expect it to be like this while walking and talking in the product assembly department.

But these are all secondary, as long as Luo Sheng can meet in person to talk in person is more important than anything.

"To be honest, Mr. Lowell, you really shouldn't come to me." Luo Sheng walked comfortably and watched and said slowly: "The media are reporting on your coming here, I believe it will be soon When it spread to North America, your personal leader saw it, and he would only hate me even more. You are causing me trouble."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a luxurious Silicon Valley lineup in the science and technology industry has come all the way to Sioux City. Only one person has the energy and qualifications to make them come up with such a large lineup.

It is not difficult for anyone with a little logical derivation ability to guess that he is here to find Luo Sheng.

When Lowell McAdam heard this, he was contemptuous for a while. The pot was thrown away. Now that he can talk face to face, isn't it all the result of your agreement?Would you like to say that we will come?Immediately replied with a helpless expression:

"Mr. Luo, now is not the time to throw each other out, maybe he will hate you even more, but we are not much better, I bet 10 dollars, maybe he will send a message on MicroBlog tomorrow to deduct one of us The name of a traitor."

Luo Sheng smiled and said nothing.

They are all human beings. Some words can be done until you click them. The days to come will grow.

Luo Sheng took these foreigners around in the Azure-5 assembly workshop for a while, and then came to a high-level area. The huge workshop actually has very few staff, most of which are coordinated and assembled by intelligent machines. The entire workshop takes about 18 seconds. Time can get a complete Azure-5 smartphone.

This efficiency is also greatly shocked by everyone's hearts. Luo Sheng looked at the busy scene below and suddenly said: "Every engineer here has a master's degree or above, and nearly 45% of those with a doctorate degree, Wilbo. Lowe wants me to go to the rust belt to build a factory. All of you are elites among the elites. After seeing these, I would like to ask you, do you really think that your country can realize the return of industrial production? Is there a living soil?

Lowell McAdam and others looked at the scene below, and faced Luo Sheng's questions in silence.

Seeing that they did not speak, Luo Sheng retracted his gaze and glanced at Lowell and others, and said calmly, "Do you think it can bring down the Blue Coast? I can say with certainty that it is impossible, absolutely impossible. Whether I am Active or passive, it has always developed by leaps and bounds in the high-end manufacturing field. You are all my partners. I am very happy to see you here. It shows that you can see more clearly than your politicians. You should think about how to do it. Participate. If you don’t get in the car early, you will be very passive if the future landscape changes significantly, right?"

Lowell looked directly at Luo Sheng and questioned seemingly disbelieving: "Mr. Luo, are you so sure that the manufacturing industry cannot return to North America?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, and replied: "Why do you have to ask more? You are standing here at this moment, you all understand, or even better than me, otherwise what is the meaning of your presence here?"

Lowell did not answer the conversation, and no one else spoke.

Upon seeing this, Luo Sheng smiled and said: "OK, I recently saw a statement from Mr. Wu Jiao, saying that you can spend no more than one or two billion US dollars to restart the production line by yourself without using rare earths in our country. Being stupid is deceiving yourself and others."

Lovell and others still didn't reply.

Luo Sheng held the mast in his hand and looked at the assembly line below, and said comfortably: "Of course North America is not short of money. What is the value of one or two billion U.S. dollars as soon as the money printing machine starts? But the return of industry, especially the return of high-end manufacturing, is not only It is a question of capital, and more of a question of engineering capability."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked at Lowell and others and added: "Take rare earths as an example. You have a lot of rare earth resources and strong capital, but what about engineers? More than 95% of high-end talents in the rare earth field are in my country. Once the industrial system is lost, it must start from scratch. Once industrial production stops, the industry will be cut off. However, North America has begun to relocate its industries on a large scale since the 1980s. It has been cut off for 20 to 30 years. Can it be revived in 2016?"

"The Wujiao Building said that this rare earth cost an extra $1.2 billion. That is because assuming that the cost of human resources remains unchanged, the investment can be obtained and the price is also appropriate, and the market also guarantees that the Wujiao Building will give orders. Billion dollars, what about all industries? Do you have engineers? The prosperity of Silicon Valley has deteriorated. Now you are recruiting engineers from Indochina or Chinese engineers. Because the quality of the native population in North America has fallen precipitously, you want to revive the manufacturing industry. No one is embarrassing, isn't it?"

Lowell McAdam coughed a few awkwardly, Luo Sheng's series of rhetorical questions made everyone present unable to refute, but they couldn't admit it.

There are two extremes in the North American education system. While capitalists inculcate happy education to the general public, the education of their offspring is on the contrary. The result is that the educational resources of the elite group and the general public are not at the same level. And they are all moving closer to the virtual economy. Almost none of the best analysts on Wall Street was born in finance, but a group of top scientists.

Therefore, the best mathematicians and physicists in North America are not in the laboratory, but on Wall Street.

I have chosen to be the boss, and the dirty work of engineers is outsourced. A large number of foreign engineers are recruited. Isn't it good to watch the stocks rise?

At this time, Qualcomm's global executive vice president tried to regain a little initiative, and he said: "Mr. Luo, your company is not invincible. Azure mobile phones do not have Qualcomm's baseband, and all the machinery and equipment personnel here have to stop functioning."

The implication is that you, Luo Sheng, don't be too arrogant, we also have things that hold you back.

The two parties seem to be strolling in the courtyard and chatting, but in fact there is a game between the lines. Lowell and the others know that they are asking for someone, but they have to act as if they are not here.

Luo Sheng was very upset with their attitude, and the people who looked at Qualcomm immediately said with a smile but not a smile: "This is not true. I am Qualcomm's biggest customer. You are threatening customers. I am not only you Qualcomm. Consumers, in the process of purchasing applications, also participated in the research and development process with their experience in use. How much technical value did I purchase your chips for you? A chip is very complicated, and some special chips can be said to be absolutely capable. But if you don’t carry a good device, to whom do you sell your baseband chips? How to develop together with system integrators? Not to mention that there are other suppliers who are eyeing on."

When people at Qualcomm heard the phrase "other suppliers", they immediately thought of a name-Huawei.

Wah was struggling with the baseband chip, and Luo Sheng is still supporting it. This is what Qualcomm is most afraid of. Now that it is brought up, my heart is suddenly imaginary.

In addition to Qualcomm's fictitious failure, the people next to IBM are not much better, and I feel offended.

The server business of Huawei has been booming in recent years. It has gradually moved from the edge business of Huawei to the main business. Among them, Luo Sheng’s support has played an extremely important role. It can even be said that without Luo Sheng’s support, Huawei’s server business will It is impossible to rise so fast.

At that time, IBM felt the huge crisis and put it into actual action to try to contain it, but the result did not play a big role. If you say that you don't hate Luo Sheng, it is fake, hateful, hateful, and Luo Sheng tens of billions of dollars. I have to do the same for my business. It's too much, I really can't let it go.

Among the foreigners present, more than half of them gritted their teeth towards Luo Cheng. The most uncomfortable was that they wanted to kill the other party but couldn't kill them, and they had to continue to do business with the person who upset them the most.
