Technology Bigshot Chapter 26: ：return to popularity
Chapter 26: Back to the Heat
"Let's enter the reporter's question-and-answer session." The news officer announced.
Gao Yue on the stage did not leave. After the press conference leader finished speaking, the reporters off the field raised their hands one by one. Gao Yue pointed at the female reporter sitting in the middle flank with a professional smile.
The reporter stood up immediately, held the microphone, and said, "Hello! Miss Gao. I'm Liu Xiao, a special correspondent for Netease News. May I ask Miss Gao, when will your company's new product be released? What is it? products of the same nature?”
"The company's current main task is the research and development of real-time online mutual translation 2.0 and the construction of the headquarters. At present, the research and development of new products is not considered!" Gao Yue replied.
"Hello, Miss Gao. I'm Yang Hong, a correspondent of "Tencent News". Your company has accumulated hundreds of millions of users. Are you considering entering the social network field?"
"The company has reached a strategic partnership with the social giant Facebook. The company will not consider entering the social field. XlouS is a technology company, we only engage in technology research and development!" Gao Yue pointed to a foreign reporter.
"Hello, Miss Gao Yue. This is Spears Consner, a special correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. Does your company intend to introduce investment and listing plans in the near future?"
"XlouS is currently in healthy operation and has no shortage of funds, so it has not considered introducing capital and has no intention to go public for the time being."
......
After the press conference, XlouS, which had been out of the public eye for a while, once again became a hot topic.
Two major news quickly occupied the headlines of major domestic Internet media, and a series of data in units of 100 million was staggering.
"Fuck! Is XlouS going to go against the sky? $5 billion to build a headquarters! Is this going to be a rhythm with Apple? So much money?"
"The information upstairs is outrageous. People do have money, but the poor people only have money left. I'll do the math with you, take a good look! Study hard! 240 million paying users, 15 soft girls per month About 3.6 billion yuan in revenue a month, more than 40 billion a year, and do you think the number of paying users for instant online translation will remain at 240 million after a year?"
"Correct answer upstairs! Mad is like a money printing machine, no, the money printing machine is nothing, it's just stealing money, no no, it's faster than stealing money! But the real-time online translation is indeed an artifact, The baby said that after using it, he can't do without it anymore. As an illiterate party who can't speak English, my mother no longer worries that I can't understand what foreigners are saying when I go to Instagram!"
Compared with it, investors are more eager than anyone. After XlouS company released various data of real-time online translation, the valuation of this company by market analysts on Wall Street rose again by 20 billion to 150 billion USD, XlouS company is listed in the ranks of A+++ key investment projects and listed as excellent investment projects. In the past, many companies were listed as A+++ by Wall Street, and those companies basically became giant companies with a market value of not less than 150 billion US dollars, such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Tencent and other Internet technology companies or energy giants and so on.
Although Gao Yue said at the press conference that he had no plans to go public or to introduce investment, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of investors. On the contrary, the enthusiasm of investors increased sharply, and the more the CEO of the company said so The more it shows the potential of the company. There are not many companies in the world that do not bow their heads in the face of capital. This is the confidence of investors. Shunfeng Express, which claims to never be listed in China, eventually had to bow to capital. In the end, it became a listed company. I believe XlouS will eventually do the same.
In addition, after the press conference, the other two groups of people were not calm. These two groups of people were the builders from all over the world and the investment promotion bureaus in the Pearl River Delta and Hainan.
Large companies at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars have settled in, especially the XlouS company announced that it will spend no less than 5 billion US dollars to build the headquarters, which is unimaginable for the development of the region and the tax created. Compared with the wealth, the settlement of XlouS company The matter is definitely the focus of the two provincial governments.
Especially the Wanning Municipal Government was surprised and delighted when it learned the news. The surprise was that the city did not have much competitiveness. It must be known that the total market value of the market was only more than 80 billion two years ago. Renminbi, I am glad that this big company only named Wanning City and expressed its intention to choose here. Obviously, there is no definite result, and even the city government is restless. You must know that this is a large private company with a valuation of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Ren Hong at this moment does not know that the news officially announced by XlouS has touched the hearts of batch after batch. After the team he wanted was successfully convened, he began to develop the 2.0 version of instant online mutual translation. In addition to being the chairman of XlouS, Ren Hong also serves as the company's chief technology officer and CTO. Ren Hong is obsessed with technology, and the position of chief chief engineer is naturally his.
On the day of the press conference, Ren Hong did not show up, and Gao Yue was responsible for the daily operations of the company, which was completely sufficient. And he is currently mainly responsible for the development of the instant online mutual translation version 2.0, and there is a more important thing, that is, the design of the company headquarters, which has always affected his heart.
These days his main focus has been on the design of the company headquarters. According to the vision in his mind, the company headquarters will be composed of five independent buildings, and the outlines of the five buildings are respectively formed by the company name of five letters: XlouS
This is certainly a crazy idea.
"This is too difficult, sir. The construction difficulty of 'X' and 'S' is not on the same level as the other three buildings, especially the 'S' shaped building." A famous foreigner invited by Ren Hong Looking at the 3D model on the computer, the architect shook his head and said, "Isn't it better to let XlouS lie on the ground? The difficulty will not be so staggering."
"No no no! Mr. Cullen." Ren Hong fiddled with his body language with his hands, "Listen, I want a XlouS standing on this planet! Not a lying XlouS It's not auspicious, isn't it?"
"Sorry, Mr. Cherus, I didn't mean that." Cullen said, looking at the 3D modeling on the computer, he still said: "The two buildings on the periphery still want to show the effect in the concept map in reality. It's too difficult, it doesn't conform to the principles of mechanics at all, especially the 'S' shape building, the building materials in today's world, the core force point in the middle can't bear the pressure of the whole building at all!"
Cullen looked at Ren Hong's eyes, and said without shyness: "It's too slender, and the curvature of the curve is too big. This is simply impossible to achieve. Your requirements are too harsh, Mr. Sherus!"
The eyes of the two people looked at each other, and there was an atmosphere of silence in an instant. Ren Hong looked away and turned to the computer screen, looking at the 'S'-shaped building in the renderings and was silent.
The XlouS has to be erected, he thought.
