The richest man

Chapter 249 "Blood Legend"

In 2001, China's entry into the WTO accelerated in vain.

This is due to the bursting of the Internet bubble.At this time, the Nasdaq index plummeted below 20000 points, major Internet companies in the United States were on the verge of bankruptcy, and the overall U.S. economy was hit hard.Seeing that a new round of economic crisis is about to break out in the United States, the United States urgently needs a new market at this time, and this market must be large enough. In this way, not only can American goods be dumped into it quickly, but also allow locals to obtain cheap and high-quality products from it. goods to keep inflation low.

Therefore, the United States is also actively promoting China's accession to the WTO.

The United States single-handedly promoted China's entry into the WTO. They thought it was a fat sheep, but they probably never expected that the United States could not control China at all!
Zhang Jun is also actively paying attention to this matter. The issue of tariffs has always been a cloud lingering over Legendary Technology. Zhang Jun hopes to take advantage of China's entry into the WTO to reduce tariffs so that his products can be dumped to the United States.

After a year of confrontation, the chip technology of the United States still cannot break through.

The global high-end chip market is still monopolized by legendary technology companies, coupled with the banning of legendary technology companies, this has caused American technology companies to struggle, and they are often at a disadvantage when competing with companies from other countries.

There are many difficulties in the preparation of the fab. Without cutting-edge lithography machines, the fab can only be second-rate and cannot produce advanced chips. Moreover, the high labor costs in the United States make the fab unable to make ends meet. ".

Although the United States actively promoted China's accession to the WTO, it set many thresholds and conditions. Therefore, China has been negotiating for more than ten years without success.

Nowadays, Legend Technology has given China a lot of confidence.

At this time, the United States proposed to purchase advanced lithography machines and other chip production equipment, and China has the advantage that it can take advantage of the United States.

As for whether to sell the lithography machine to the United States.

Zhang Jun thought for a long time, but still agreed. After all, the technology level of the United States is very strong. If it takes time, the United States can still catch up with the technology of Legend Technology.

Zhang Jun wants to let American companies know the benefits of "making is worse than buying".

Besides, Legend Technology will not sell the most advanced photolithography machines, etching machines, photoresist and other equipment and materials to the United States.

With the labor cost of the United States, it cannot completely compete with Legendary Technology.

However, if the United States wants to obtain equipment and materials such as lithography machines, etching machines, and photoresists, it must abandon the ban on legendary technology companies and reduce tariffs.

……

……

The huge sales of the ipod made the legendary technology company famous again and made a lot of profits.

In the past six months, through ipod and iTunes, the legendary technology company has earned nearly 100 billion US dollars.

In 2001, the task of Legend Technology Corporation was arduous, and it invested in many projects, such as AI, big data, cloud computing, electric vehicles, drones, unmanned driving, intelligent robots, biological genes, aerospace, etc...

Most of the investments will not bear fruit in a short period of time.

To a certain extent, money is just a bunch of numbers! ! !
Zhang Jun knows this very well, so he is not stingy at all with spending money on research and development.

Due to the too many research and development projects of Legendary Technology Corporation, the researchers in the company alone can no longer undertake so much work.

In the United States, it is very popular for companies to cooperate with universities.

Therefore, Zhang Jun also decided to let Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. cooperate with major universities in China. Legendary Technology will provide money and projects, and the university research institutes will be responsible for the joint development.

There are actually a lot of scientific research talents in China, but it is a pity that they have been suffering from insufficient funds.

It's all right now, the long drought is followed by sweet rains, and the olive branches offered by Legendary Technology Company have been accepted by all major universities.

Since 2001, there has been an upsurge of innovative cooperation between Legend Technology and major universities across the country!

Legendary Technology was burning money crazily. In just three months, it spent tens of billions of dollars, mainly on the purchase of R&D equipment and materials for universities and colleges, because they are so poor that they don’t even have decent laboratories. .

As the saying goes, "If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools." R&D equipment must be bought.

When experts and professors from various universities looked at the various advanced equipment and materials in the laboratory, they couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey, Chinese researchers suffer the most. Do you know how hard it is to invent the Yuan Bullet? At that time, our country was poor and white, and the first Yuan Bullet was calculated with an abacus!" An old man stroked the Shenzhou supercomputer, and With emotion on his face, the students around couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words.

"With these advanced equipment, the development work will get twice the result with half the effort! The legendary technology company really has a great responsibility! The cooperation model between enterprises and universities is worth vigorously promoting!"

"..."

College students are also very excited.

"I heard that such advanced equipment can only be seen in laboratories in the United States, but now, our laboratories in Chinese universities also have these advanced equipment. Legend Technology and Zhang Jun are so amazing, they have single-handedly promoted the scientific research of Chinese universities Education level!"

"My current wish is to join Legendary Technology after graduating from university. There is still a stage to realize my dreams! I believe that the rise of China's technology depends on Legendary Technology!!!"

"It's the same for me. I have no other hope in this life. I just hope that I can stay in the laboratory of Legend Technology Company and contribute my own strength to the scientific research of the motherland!"

"..."

Zhang Jun is so poor that all he has left is money. Not counting the funds in the company account under his name, his personal deposits alone have more than 2000 billion US dollars in cash.

At the time when the economic crisis broke out in the United States, Zhang Jun went all out and wanted to spend money to build a technology and business empire that is ahead of the world!

The investment of tens of billions of dollars will only go where, and there will be more places to spend money in the future.

In order to absorb talents, strengthen investment in scientific and technological research and development.

Zhang Jun is currently discussing with Shangguan Muye to establish LinkedIn, a workplace social networking site, and then take advantage of LinkedIn to take the lead in acquiring a large number of outstanding talents.

After listening to Zhang Jun's introduction to LinkedIn and how to use LinkedIn, Shangguan Muye was very surprised. Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of Li Shimin's words, "All the heroes in the world are in my pocket"! ! !
"Boss, you are really amazing. Once LinkedIn develops, it will be much easier for us to recruit talents!"

With the influence of legendary technology companies on the Internet, it is easy for LinkedIn, and the LinkedIn website is very attractive to many professionals and enterprises.

Zhang Jun instructed: "Develop LinkedIn as soon as possible according to my vision. The sooner we develop LinkedIn, the sooner we can grasp the trends of global talents!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Shangguan Muye immediately organized a team to start developing LinkedIn. In just over a month, the first version of LinkedIn has been successfully developed.It was subsequently debugged and improved, and finally in July 2001, a fully functional LinkedIn website was developed.

As soon as LinkedIn was launched, Legend Technology used all network resources to vigorously promote it regardless of cost.

……

"Hey, Legend Technology has launched a new website again!?"

Netizens were curious and opened the LinkedIn website to research.

A workplace social networking site, professionals can make friends on LinkedIn, LinkedIn also has a corporate recruitment function, and companies can post job advertisements on LinkedIn.

"Oh, workplace networking and corporate recruitment, it looks pretty good! I can find a job and make friends on the LinkedIn website in the future, it's very convenient!"

"LinkedIn's model is quite novel, and I feel that this website is going to be popular."

"My boss has already registered an account, so I will register one too!"

In the previous life, once LinkedIn was launched, it became popular all over the world.

Not to mention LinkedIn in this life, the various promotional resources far exceed those in the previous life.

In just one month, LinkedIn has more than 2400 million users, and many of these users are elites in the workplace.

Legend Technology holds the information of these users, and can send them offer emails or make phone calls at any time.

……

Just when Western society lamented the rapid development of LinkedIn.

They certainly did not expect that a vigorous poaching operation began from LinkedIn.

Many people received offer emails from legendary technology companies, with salaries ranging from 20% to 200% higher than their original salaries.

Exciting! ! !

Countless people choose to resign and switch to Legend Technology.

Within a week, Legendary Technology acquired more than 5000 talents with the help of LinkedIn.

Due to the cautiousness of the legendary technology company, at most two people can be recruited in a company. There are so many companies in the world, and it is normal for some companies to leave one or two employees, so it has caused too much trouble.

LinkedIn is also growing rapidly, and more and more talents are gathering here.

Legendary Technology Company only needs to harvest a wave every once in a while to recruit a large number of talents!

……

Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park.

Every day, many domestic and foreign talents come here for employment.

Legend Technology Company is even more talented, with 12 engineers and more than 4000 scientists.

"Hey, LinkedIn's talent acquisition strategy is very successful!" Shangguan Muye laughed heartily. These recruited employees from LinkedIn have greatly filled the talent vacancies of Legendary Technology Company.

After a pause, Shangguan Muye looked at Zhang Jun and said with a wry smile, "Boss, we have more and more research and development projects, and the monthly cost is huge. After a year, it may be as high as 300 billion US dollars!!!"

In this day and age, $300 billion is spent on research and development, which is simply appalling.

However, Legend Technology has many subsidiaries and many research and development projects. In Zhang Jun’s opinion, 300 billion US dollars is actually not too much, and 100 billion US dollars of it is used to support the development of colleges and universities. Research equipment and materials.Even if the legendary technology company develops it by itself, it still needs to purchase these equipment and materials. In short, it still costs 100 billion US dollars.

In the previous life, until 2022, the company with the largest R&D investment in the world is Google, with a total of 1618 billion yuan.Huawei's R&D investment reached 1257 billion yuan, ranking second in the world.

Combined, Google and Huawei do not have the size of a legendary technology company.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "The greater the investment in research and development, the greater the harvest. Don't worry about the funds. Legendary Technology's ability to make money is still very strong."

After a pause, he asked to what extent has Hongmeng's smartphone been developed?
Once this phone is developed, it will sweep the world, no problem.

Shangguan Muye sighed slightly, and said: "It has not been successful yet. The inductive capacitive touch screen has not been fully developed yet. Although multi-touch has been realized, the response time is too slow and does not meet our requirements. It is still being improved."

"Well, don't worry, our technology should already be much ahead of other companies." Zhang Jun said casually, "By the way, I read in the report that the large-scale online game "Legend of Blood" developed by our company has passed the internal test .”

Since Legendary Technology invested heavily in research and development, it would make money.

The new version of "Legend of Blood" is a key development project of Legend Technology Company. Zhang Jun aims at gamers all over the world. For this reason, "Legend of Blood" has made great improvements, and many new game concepts and technologies have been introduced. have all been applied.

"Yes, everyone likes this "Legend of Hot Blood" very much, and the internal evaluation is very high!" Shangguan Muye replied with a nod and a smile.

Zhang Jun hasn't played this "Legend of Hot Blood" yet, but the main gameplay of this game is similar to the "Legend of Hot Blood" represented by Shanda in the previous life.However, Legend Technology has strong research and development capabilities and excellent production, and the two games are not the same.

"Legend of Blood" is dubbed the word "Legend", so we know that Legend Technology Company is full of confidence and has high hopes for it!
In addition, in order to better adapt to foreign players.

"Legend of Blood" also added a lot of Western elements, such as players can also choose elf shooter, wizard, werewolf and vampire characters.

The map is also enlarged by more than 10 times.

The high-definition picture quality of the game adopts a full-featured engine including 3D modeling, animation design, architectural design, motion capture, light and shadow special effects, AI computing, collision detection, sound processing and other subsystems - "Suanni Engine" .

"Suanni Engine" is a comprehensive game engine developed by Legendary Technology Corporation with a huge investment of 20 billion US dollars and 14 years of development.

Once "Legend of Hot Blood" is released, not to mention the gameplay, the game quality alone will shock all players.

But at the same time, this game requires a bit high computer configuration.

Computers in domestic Internet cafes are generally not portable.

Fortunately, there are also "Legendary Internet Cafes". Almost every city in China has "Legendary Internet Cafes". Zhang Jun can at least ensure that the computer configuration of "Legendary Internet Cafes" can support playing "Legend of Blood".

As long as the game is fun, it will definitely prompt the owners of Internet cafes in China to update their computers. In fact, it is very simple, just add a memory stick, and then replace it with the latest "Suanni Graphics Card 2001" released by Legendary Technology.

Zhang Jun turned on the computer and asked the staff to send him the download link of "Legend of Hot Blood".

"Legend of Hot Blood" has 2GB, and Zhang Jun's office's internet speed is super fast, and it can be downloaded in one to two minutes.

Download, install, register.

The game screen of "Legend of Hot Blood" is not much better than that of "World of Warcraft", which surprised Zhang Jun.

The gameplay is still the same as that of "Legend of Hot Blood". Zhang Jun got started very quickly, so it can be said that he is very familiar with it.

However, he chose Elven Archer.

It doesn't matter if you don't play, you will be addicted once you play, and you can't stop at all.

But soon, Zhang Jun became upset, he couldn't beat others in PK.

You can't become stronger without krypton gold~
It's a pity that even if you spend a lot of money in the game "Legend of Hot Blood", you can't be invincible. At most, you are a little better than ordinary players.

As long as they are willing to live, ordinary players can also beat players with a krypton gold of less than 1 RMB.

"Legend of Blood" makes money by selling props and skins. In order to maintain the balance of the game, the developers have made a lot of design and restrictions to ensure that ordinary players can play very well.

A few days later, Zhang Jun stayed up late playing games, and his eyes had dark circles.

"Release "Legend of Hot Blood" and let players all over the world fall into a carnival!!!" Zhang Jun picked up the phone, and ordered Shangguan Muye in a slightly tired but excited manner.
