Chapter 66: The Horizon Hidden in the Shadows
Chapter 66: The Horizon Hidden in the Shadow
After the graduation ceremony, Ren Hong's itinerary to Beijing is coming to an end. This time, he has been exposed to the public for the longest and most frequent period since he founded XlouS, but obviously, people's interest in him has not decreased at all.
There is no doubt that Ren Hong and his deeds are a miraculous dream story for the outside world. If the public wants to know him, the media will naturally flock to him. Despite this, these media will not be as unscrupulous as paparazzi chasing stars. After all, Ren Hong and stars are not on the same level.
No paparazzi will squat on the spot without restraint. Faced with such a super rich man, the resources in his hands are not comparable to those of celebrities. Even if he has so-called scandals and other ordinary media, he dare not make it public. This is why such big shots rarely appear in gossip.
Because the resources and abilities in these people's hands are not comparable to those of these little media without backgrounds and tabloids, no one will be foolish and lose their jobs because of this. However, Ren Hong obviously will not have any scandals or something, after all, the technical party.
Ren Hong left his alma mater, but he did not immediately retreat to Hainan. The reason is naturally because of his brothers. In addition to attending the forum summit this time, another important thing for him to take away his initial team.
This takes time. In addition to handling the cumbersome procedures of the school, his brothers also have to communicate with their families. It is reasonable that these things are not urgent. Ren Hong did not express too much anxiety. Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences recruited them several times, this person could not force them. Both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ren Hong would respect their choices, but their choices were the same, that was, follow the boss back to the company headquarters.
Just because of that sentence: Change the world!
......
California, USA, Apple Spaceship Headquarters, Senior Meeting Room.
Apple executives gathered together once. Cook no longer knows how many meetings have been held in recent days. The most hateful thing is that his trip to China a few days ago made him miserable. After he saw that photo, Cook wanted to cry in the toilet and couldn't wake up.
He had cursed countless times, and the damn British journalist, he wanted to acquire the Daily Mail immediately, but reason told him that it was obvious that it was impossible to do this. This was too disgusting his identity and would greatly affect his future. Even if he was resentful, he had to endure it.
The picture published by the Daily Mail has a magical chemical reaction with the recent dilemma of Apple. Obviously, media around the world think that Cook's "resentful" eyes in the photo are reflecting the difficult and embarrassing situation of Apple.
The iPhone series faces suppression of new products from technology companies from China and has almost no power to fight back. Apple has faced doubts from the outside world and has not responded. Even the few times the voices are vague, giving people a feeling of avoiding talking. This is undoubtedly disappointing. The plunge in the company's market value is the best proof.
Not only targeting Apple, but many American media and even mainstream media have pointed to the entire domestic technology circle, especially the Silicon Valley technology circle, with a strong accusation. The rise of XlouS has made the technology that the United States has always been proud of being ruthlessly trampled on.
A few years ago, "HUAWEI" appeared in that Eastern country, and now another giant company is more fierce than "HUAWEI".
The "territory" of the United States is gradually "falling". The red world from the East is like a young man at the peak of his integrity. He is running quickly, and the United States is already like a dying old man. Obviously, the country they once regarded as backward has created technological products that make them helpless and difficult to accept this reality.
"So, what's the plan?" Cook said in a deep voice, looking at everyone present in the conference room.
At the oval conference table, Cook sat in the chief, looking around the company executives on both sides. After a while, as he opened his mouth, an executive on the right took out a page of documents and said:
"Unlock some channel relationships, I will launch a spokesperson or organization to monopolize the product of XlouS, "Instant Online Translation", and launch a spokesperson or organization to sue the technology monopolize the wearable smartphone device of XlouS..."
"We will use the company's relevant resources to start within XlouS, send experienced commercial spies, and even seek the government's request for agents to infiltrate each other's core technology, which requires communication with the government..."
"Using resources hinders XlouS's global business expansion. As long as it is not conducive to it, it can be implemented, and there is also..."
Everyone listened to the executive for nearly eight minutes. All the plans he explained were targeting matrix technology and conspiring on the Internet. As long as it could be used, it would not be stingy. It was simply vicious.
"Then...this is it!" Tim Cook, who had been silent for a long time, finally said.
Tim Cook, born as an engineer, is actually very shameful about this approach, which is equivalent to shattering his proud persistence in technology. But the pressure from the board of directors makes him really hard to resist and cope with. Cook is very clear about the words he heard on the board of directors: No matter what, you can borrow or steal! The board of directors has only one requirement, that is profit! If you can't do it, let others take over.
Long before the birth of Matrix Technology, Apple's performance was not as good as it was back then. Although Cook once doubled Apple's market value since he became CEO, it has continued to maintain high profits until now, its business growth rate has continued to decline, although it is subtle, it seems to be getting weaker and weaker, which also reflects that the potential of this giant company seems to have stopped there.
Now, the technology company Matrix Technology XlouS, which comes from China, launches a global offensive against the iPhone with the "S-1". The iPhone is almost irresistible, and Cook has no choice.
At the same time, in the territory of Wisconsin, the area around this area does not have a steel concrete building with more than five floors, let alone skyscrapers. There is an ancient manor villa, whose history can be traced back to the end of the 18th century and is almost equivalent to that of the United States. It sees the dominant position of the United States from its birth to its rise to today. This manor has a history of more than 200 years and has not yet been dilapidated. It only exudes the atmosphere of ancient traces, which is a thick layer of heritage.
Three older people sat in a small room in the manor, and there was also a young middle-aged man staring at the screen with a personal laptop with a focused look. The room was very quiet, and the facilities in the room were out of place with the modern world today. The layout here was filled with the atmosphere of the European Renaissance, while the modern clothing worn by the middle-aged man and the personal computer in front of him were incompatible with the environment.
The smoke emitted by the cigar spread gently in the not-so-bright room, and the wisps of black-haired smoke floated slowly 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.
"Think it, Mr. Mellon." said the middle-aged man.
"How many?" Another person spoke. He had a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and a black mustache left behind his upper lip.
The middle-aged man responded respectfully: "If XlouS operates to maximize its commercial value, its net profit revenue will be the same as the current Apple Apple market value. The other party is a novice in business strategy, at least on the surface. As for their company, if it is split and reorganized, it can create more commercial value. There are too many emerging technologies inside, and it can even subvert many contemporary hardware giant companies, with huge potential in many fields, but they only use these high-end technologies to make a 'S-1' and only sell 'S-1', which is simply an outrageous huge loss..."
For these three people, the youngest middle-aged man in the audience was very afraid of everything about those three people. These three people represent the Mellon Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, and the Rockefeller Consortium. These identities alone are enough to shock him, not to mention that they have other identities. People from the top ten consortiums in the United States are among them. In the face of such an existence, the middle-aged man only feels as small as an ant facing three elephants.
"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man saw the man holding a cigar signaling, and he immediately understood and left quickly. This person's identity represents the Rockefeller Consortium.
"500 billion US dollars...net profit~" he pondered.
"It's a pity that this company is not listed and is not in the United States, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome." A middle-aged and elderly man representing the Morgan Consortium said leisurely.
"Our influence is indeed difficult to penetrate that Eastern country..." Rockefeller pondered.
"Haha... all we want is wealth." Mellon chuckled, with wrinkles chuckling on his forehead and corners of his eyes. He took out a coin from his pocket on his chest and put it on the table. One side of the pattern was engraved with a pyramid. The top of the pyramid was replaced by a one-eye. It was embedded at the top of the pyramid, just like a priest looking down at all living beings. The patterns on both sides of this coin were definitely not the currency of any country.
"Let him join the club?" Rockefeller said in a slight surprise.
"It's very young, but it's a good way," Morgan said thoughtfully.
"The value he can create is enough to join the Freemasonry, it has nothing to do with age. As long as he can bring enough benefits, he has proved this. Give him a 'deacon' first." Mellon said calmly.
