Technology Bigshot Chapter 66: : The horizon hidden in the shadows
Chapter 66: The horizon hidden in the shadows
After the graduation ceremony, Ren Hong's trip to Beijing is coming to an end. This trip has been the longest and most frequent exposure to the public since he founded XlouS. Apparently, interest in him hasn't diminished at all.
There is no doubt that Ren Hong and his deeds are a miraculous dream story to the outside world. The public wants to know him, and the media will naturally flock to him. Even so, these media will not be as reckless as the paparazzi chasing stars. . Ren Hong and stars are not at the same level after all.
There is no paparazzi who would squat unscrupulously. In the face of such super rich people, the resources in their hands are not comparable to stars. Even if they have so-called scandals and other ordinary media in their hands, they would not dare to disclose them. This is why Big boss-level figures rarely have the appearance of lace news.
Because the resources and capabilities in the hands of these people are not comparable to those of small media and tabloids without background, no one will lose their jobs because of stupidity, but Ren Hong obviously won't have any scandals or the like Appeared, after all, the tech party.
Ren Hong left his alma mater, but he did not immediately withdraw back to Hainan. The reason was naturally his brothers. In addition to attending the forum summit, another important thing when he came to the capital this time was to take his initial team away .
This takes time. In addition to handling the tedious procedures of the school, his brothers also have to communicate with their families. It is reasonable that these matters are not urgent. Ren Hong did not express too much anxiety. Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences has repeatedly solicited, However, this person cannot be forced. Whether it is the Chinese Academy of Sciences or Ren Hong, they will respect their choice, but their choice is the same, which is to follow the boss back to the company headquarters.
Just because of that sentence: Change the world!
......
California, USA, Apple Spaceship Headquarters, Senior Conference Room.
Apple Apple executives got together at one point. Cook has no idea how many meetings he has held these days. The most hateful thing is that his trip to China a few days ago made him miserable. After he saw the photo. At that time, Cook wanted to cry in the toilet and couldn't wake up.
How many times he's cursed, that **** British journalist, he can't wait to buy the "Daily Mail" right away, but his reason tells him that it's obviously impossible to do so. Affecting one's future, even resentment has to be endured.
This picture published by the "Daily Mail" has a magical chemical reaction with the recent dilemma of Apple. Obviously, the media all over the world think that Cook's "sorrowful" eyes in the photo reflect the Apple at this moment. Apple's difficult situation.
The iPhone series is almost helpless in the face of new products from Chinese technology companies, and Apple has not responded to outside doubts, even if the voices are vague on a few occasions, giving people A feeling of avoidance, which is undoubtedly disappointing, as evidenced by the plummeting market value of the company.
Not only against Apple, but many American media and even mainstream media also pointed to the entire domestic technology circle, especially the Silicon Valley technology circle, with a strong sense of accusation. The rise of XlouS has ruthlessly trampled on the technology that the United States has always been proud of.
A few years ago, "HUAWEI" appeared in that eastern country, and now there is a giant company that is even more vicious than "HUAWEI".
The "territory" of the United States is "falling" step by step. The red world from the East is like a young man at the peak of integrity, he is running fast, and the United States is already like a dying old man. Obviously, it is difficult for them to accept the fact that a country that they once regarded as backward has produced technological products that make them helpless.
"So, what's the plan?" Cook said in a deep voice, looking at everyone in the conference room.
On the oval table, Cook sat at the chief, looking around the company executives on both sides. After a while, following his opening, an executive on the right took out a page of documents and said:
"Clear some channel relationships, I will launch a spokesperson or organization to sue XlouS's product 'Instant Online Interpretation' for monopoly, and launch a spokesperson or organization to sue XlouS's wearable smartphone devices for technology monopoly ..."
"We will use the company's relevant resources to start inside the XlouS company, send experienced commercial spies and even seek the government to ask for agents to infiltrate, in order to obtain the core technology of the other party, which requires communication with the government..."
"Using resources to hinder XlouS's global business expansion can be implemented as long as it is unfavorable, and..."
Everyone listened to this executive for nearly eight minutes. All the plans he elaborated were aimed at matrix technology and conspiracy. As long as they could be used, they would not be stingy. It was simply vicious.
"Then...that's it!" Tim Cook, who was silent for a long time, finally said.
The engineer-born Tim Cook is actually quite ashamed of doing this, which shatters his proud insistence on technology. But the pressure from the board of directors makes it difficult for him to resist and cope with all kinds of pressure. Cook is well aware of what he heard on the board: borrow or steal it by any means! The board has only one requirement, and that is profit! If you can't do it, let someone else take over.
Before the birth of Matrix Technology, Apple's performance was not as good as it was. Although Cook has doubled Apple's market value since he was CEO of the company and has continued to maintain high profits, its business growth rate has continued. The decline, albeit subtle, appears to be getting weaker, reflecting the fact that the giant's potential seems to have stopped there.
Now that the Chinese technology company Matrix Technology XlouS has launched a global offensive against the iPhone with the "S-1", the iPhone is almost irresistible, and Cook has no choice.
Meanwhile, in the state of Wisconsin, USA, there is no steel and concrete building with more than five stories in this area, let alone a skyscraper. There is an old manor house here, dating back to the end of the 18th century, almost as old as America, which saw America from its birth to its rise to its hegemony today. This manor has a history of more than 200 years, and it has not been run down until now.
Three elderly people are sitting in a small room on the estate, while a young middle-aged man with a personal laptop stares intently at the screen without saying a word. The room is very quiet, the facilities in the room are out of tune with today's modern world, the decoration here is full of European Renaissance atmosphere, but the modern clothes of the middle-aged man and the personal computer in front of him are out of tune with the environment.
The smoke from the cigar spreads gently in the dimly lit room, and the blue silk-like smoke drifts in the air.
The middle-aged man finally closed the computer.
"The result is here?" a man over 60 said to the middle-aged man, with a long and rich gray-white beard on his face, and a Cuban cigar in his hand.
"It's figured out, Mr. Mellon," the middle-aged man said.
"How much?" Another man said, with a high nose and deep eye sockets, and a black mustache on his upper lip.
The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "If XlouS operates extremely well to maximize its commercial value, its net profit will be equal to the current market value of Apple. The other party is a complete novice in business strategy, at least superficially. The above is like this. As far as their company is concerned, in fact, if it is split, reorganized and reintegrated, it can create more business value. There are too many emerging technologies inside, and it can even subvert a lot of contemporary technology. Hardware giants have huge potential in many fields, but they only use these cutting-edge technologies to make an 'S-1' and only sell 'S-1', which is a heinous huge loss..."
As for these three people, the youngest middle-aged man in the audience is very afraid and fears everything about those three people. These three people represent the Mellon consortium, the Morgan consortium, and the Rockefeller consortium. These identities alone are enough. Shocked him, not to mention that they have other identities. People from the top ten consortiums in the United States are listed here. In the face of such existence, middle-aged people only feel that they are insignificant like an ant facing three elephants.
"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man gestured when he saw the man holding the cigar, he immediately understood and left quickly. The identity of this person represents the Rockefeller Foundation.
"$500 billion... net profit~" he mused.
"Unfortunately, this company is neither listed nor in the United States, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome." The middle-aged man representing the Morgan consortium said leisurely.
"In that country of the East, our influence is indeed difficult to penetrate..." Rockefeller pondered.
"Hehe... all we want is wealth." Mellon chuckled, with a few wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and saw that he took out a coin from his chest pocket and put it on the table. The pattern on one side is engraved with a pyramid, and the top of the pyramid is replaced by a one-eyed. It is inlaid on the top of the pyramid as if looking down at all beings. The pattern depicted on both sides of this coin is definitely not the currency of any country. .
"Let him join the club?" Rockefeller was slightly surprised and said.
"Young, but it's a good way," Morgan said thoughtfully.
"The value he can create is enough to join the Freemasonry, regardless of age, as long as he can bring enough benefits, he has proved it, first give him a 'deacon' position." Mellon indifferently said.
