Chapter 26: Return to the heat

"There is a reporter's questioning session below." The news leader announced.

Gao Yue on the stage did not leave. After the person in charge of the press conference finished speaking, the reporters off the court raised their hands one by one. Gao Yue pointed at the female reporter sitting on the middle flank with a professional smile.

The reporter immediately stood up, held the microphone and said, "Hello! Miss Gao. I am Liu Xiao, the special correspondent of NetEase News. May I ask Miss Gao, when will your company's new products be released? What kind of product is it?"

"The company's current main task is the research and development of instant online mutual translation 2.0 and the construction of headquarters. The research and development of new products is not considered at the moment!" Gao Yue replied.

"Hello, Miss Gao. I am Yang Hong, a special 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 social giant Facebook. The company will not consider entering the social field. XlouS is a technology company, and we only engage in technology research and development!" Gao Yue said and pointed to a foreign reporter.

"Hello, Miss Gao Yue. I am Spears Consner, a special correspondent of the Wall Street Journal. Is your company interested in introducing investment and listing plans in the near future?"

"XlouS is currently operating in a healthy manner and has no shortage of funds, so it has not considered introducing capital and has no intention of listing for the time being."

......

After the press conference, XlouS, which had faded out of people's sight in recent times, has once again become a hot topic.

Two major news quickly occupied the front pages of major domestic Internet media, and a series of data in units of billions are shocking.

"Damn it! Is XlouS going to go against the sky? Build its headquarters for $5 billion! Is this going to compete with Apple? Is there so much money?"

"The news upstairs is so obscuring. People are indeed rich, but they are poor and only money left. Let me calculate with you, look good! Study hard! 240 million paid users, about 15 soft girls a month, and 3.6 billion revenue per month, more than 40 billion a year. And, do you think the paid users who instant online translation will stay at 240 million in a year?"

"The upstairs answer! Made is simply a money printing machine. No, the money printing machine is a bad one. It's just a robbery. No, it's faster than robbing money! However, instant online translation is indeed a magical tool. The baby said that he can't live without it after using it. As an illiterate party who can't speak English, my mother no longer worrys that I can't understand what the foreigner said when I go to Instagram!"

Compared with this, investors are more enthusiastic than anyone else. After XlouS released data on instant online translation, Wall Street market analysts' valuation of the company rose by 20 billion yuan again to a valuation of US$150 billion. XlouS was listed as a key A++ investment project, ranking as an excellent investment project. In the past, many companies were included in the A++ ranks by Wall Street. Those companies basically became giant companies with a market value of no less than US$150 billion, such as Internet technology companies or energy giants such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and tencent.

Although Gao Yue said at the press conference that he had no plans to go public or plans to introduce investment, this did not discourage the enthusiasm of investors. On the contrary, investors' enthusiasm has increased sharply. The more the company's CEO said this, the more the company's potential is expressed. There are not many companies in the world who can not bow their heads in front of capital. This is the confidence of investors. Shunfeng Express, which claims to never go public in China, eventually had to bow to capital, and eventually became a listed company. I believe that XlouS will be the same in the end.

In addition, after the press conference, the other two waves of people were no longer calm. These two waves were builders from all over the world and investment promotion agencies in the Pearl River Delta and Hainan.

Large companies with a capacity of 100 billion US dollars have entered, especially XlouS announced that it will spend no less than US$5 billion to build its headquarters. This is unimaginable for regional development and tax revenues. XlouS's entry is definitely a key concern for the governments of the two provinces.

Especially the Wanning Municipal Government, when I heard the news, I was surprised and happy. What I was surprised was that the city was not very competitive. It should be noted that the total value of the market was only more than 80 billion yuan two years ago. What I was happy was that this big company named Wanning City and expressed its intention to choose here. Obviously, there was no definite result, and even the municipal government was restless. You must know that this was a large private enterprise with a valuation of 100 billion US dollars.

At this moment, Ren Hong didn't know that the official news released by XlouS had touched the hearts of many people. After the team he wanted was successfully convened, he began to fully develop the instant online translation version 2.0 version. In addition to being the chairman of XlouS, Ren Hong also serves as the company's chief technology officer CTO. Ren Hong is obsessed with technology, so the position of this chief engineer is naturally his.

On the day of the press conference, Ren Hong did not show up. Gao Yue was responsible for the company's daily operations, which was completely enough. In addition to developing the 2.0 version of Instant Online Translation, there is another more important thing, that is, the design of the company headquarters, which has always touched his heart.

In the past few days, his main energy has been focused on the design of the company headquarters. According to his idea, the company headquarters will be composed of five independent buildings, and the outlines of the five buildings are composed of five letters. The company name: XlouS

This is undoubtedly 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 buildings." A famous foreign architect invited by Ren Hong looked at the 3D model on the computer and shook his head and said: "Isn't it better to just let XlouS lie on the ground? The difficulty will not be so stunning."

"No, no, no! Mr. Kulun." Ren Hong fiddled with his hands as he sported body language. "Listen, what I want is an XlouS that stands on this planet! Not a lying XlouS! This is unlucky, isn't it?"

"Sorry, Mr. Cheruth, I don't mean that," said Coulen. He looked at the 3D modeling on the computer and said: "It is too difficult for the two buildings on the outside to present the effects in the conceptual diagram in reality. This does not conform to the principles of mechanics at all, especially the building materials in the 'S' form, which is the core stress point in the middle of the building materials in today's world, and the pressure point in the entire building can't bear the pressure of the entire building!"

Kulun looked at Ren Hong's gaze and said without hesitation: "It's too thin and the curved arc is too big. This is impossible to achieve at all. Your requirements are too harsh. Mr. Cheruth!"

The two of them looked at each other and a silent atmosphere suddenly came. Ren Hong looked away and turned to the computer display screen, looking at the 'S'-shaped building in the renderings silently.

XlouS must be erected, he thought.
