The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 355: Big Brother is released and the storm is surging (please vote for me)
Bang!
Sam Walton couldn't figure it out, but he still had to face reality.

The reality of Wal-Mart supermarkets is that it lacks funds, has too few stores, and has too low market share.

"Is it really because I hold too many shares that the development of Wal-Mart Supermarket is so slow?"

Thinking of this, Sam Walton couldn't help but slap the table angrily.

Indeed, as those hateful capitalists say, financing may be the only way for Wal-Mart Supermarket to accelerate its development.

Otherwise, let alone surpassing Qianduoduo Supermarket, whether it can continue to survive is a question worth thinking about.

why?

Because nowadays there are many supermarkets in Qianduo, and the number of supermarket stores in North America alone has exceeded 500.

The number of five hundred stores is such a terrifying figure. It is so disappointing.

In the past few days, Wal-Mart Supermarket's performance has not increased much during the Christmas sales, and it is still very calm.

On the contrary, Sam Walton randomly went to several Qianduoduo supermarkets and found that the flow of people there was really large.

Even before the store opened, there was a long line of people waiting in front of the store. When night fell and the supermarket closed, there was still a huge flow of people.

It's the same supermarket, but the traffic flow is vastly different.

Of course, Sam Walton is not unaware of the gap between Wal-Mart Supermarket and Qianduoduo Supermarket, but the problem is that the purchase cost of Wal-Mart Supermarket is relatively high.

How to do?
The second round of financing must be started in advance, otherwise, Wal-Mart Supermarket will really be eliminated by the market.

As a result, financial companies such as Ivy Capital, Sequoia Ventures, Northern Lights Investment, and DC Capital all came.

Several Wall Street giants also came, such as Goldman Sachs Holdings, Morgan Stanley and Citibank.

“Welcome everyone to come and participate in the second round of financing for our Walmart Supermarket.”

In the conference room, Sam Walton, as the founder, personally went into battle to tell the financial dads like Ivy Capital about the current situation of Wal-Mart Supermarket.

There are a total of ninety-eight stores, which may seem like a small number, but is actually very impressive.

Forced by industry leaders such as Qianduoduo Supermarket, Wal-Mart Supermarket has to follow up quickly, otherwise, it will really be beaten on the beach by the wave of the times.

The average monthly revenue in the past year was 30 million U.S. dollars, and the annual revenue was about 360 million U.S. dollars. The profit margin was 18%. In other words, the net profit was 64 million U.S. dollars.

To be honest, for such a company, the data is already very eye-catching.

Anyway, it’s even more awesome than Sears, Macy’s, Target and other companies.

In the history of the original time and space, in 1970, Wal-Mart Supermarket raised US$5 million through an initial public offering and successfully went public.

But until 1972, Wal-Mart had only 51 stores and annual sales of only $78 million.

Compared with the original time and space, the Wal-Mart Supermarket in this time and space had rapidly expanded to 98 stores in 1969, and its revenue data had increased significantly.

In addition to strong competitors such as Qianduoduo Supermarket, Washington Supermarket, and Costco Supermarket, this is also due to Ivy Capital’s early capital injection, which provided a lot of ammunition.

Otherwise, Wal-Mart may still be just a small supermarket.

After Sam Walton finished his introduction, many people began to calculate. How much valuation should be given to Wal-Mart Supermarket?

To be honest, this profit margin is indeed very high, but the revenue data is very different from that of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Even representatives from Goldman Sachs Holdings couldn’t help but frown and complain: This data is really not good enough.

At the end of 1967, Qianduoduo Supermarket had a total of 100 stores, and their total monthly revenue in December at that time was US$10.85 billion.

One month's revenue data is dozens of times that of Wal-Mart Supermarket.

How does this compare?
But no matter what, Wal-Mart Supermarket also has a lot of merits. After all, it can achieve a profit margin of 18%, which is very good.

If the number of stores continues to increase and revenue and profit margins can maintain steady growth, this will also be a very good retail company.

Although in front of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Wal-Mart Supermarket is really not comparable.

But I can’t stand the fact that Wal-Mart Supermarket is more pure. This is a more authentic North American local retail company and should be supported.

Whether he supports it or not, it doesn’t matter much to Sam Walton. He just wants to know what the valuation is and who will lead the investment.

Ivy Capital was the first to offer a price that Sam Walton could not refuse: a valuation of US$1.2 billion, led by their Ivy Capital.

Originally, Ivy Capital already had a 15% stake. If it leads the investment again this time, the financial company's controlling stake in Wal-Mart Supermarket will reach about 28%.

Sam Walton rejected Ivy Capital the first time.

But next, whether it is Goldman Sachs Holdings or Citibank, their valuations are around US$800 million, which is really too low.

The annual revenue is around US$360 million, and the valuation is over US$600 million, which is very good.

Due to the current boom in the retail supermarket industry, companies such as Goldman Sachs Holdings have given valuations of around US$800 million, which is already very impressive.

After all, once Wal-Mart is endorsed by well-known financial companies such as Goldman Sachs Holdings, it will be much easier for Wal-Mart to start a business in the future.

If Sam Walton were not a short-sighted man, he should know how to choose.

But compared with the US$2.2 billion valuation given by Ivy Capital, US$800 million is still US$400 million short.

However, Sam Walton knows very well that Wal-Mart supermarkets are in urgent need of large sums of capital to develop, so they must give priority to high-valued financial capital companies.

Even when Sam Walton was struggling, a representative from Sequoia Ventures also gave his own valuation data, which was US$1.23 billion.

hiss!
This data is even higher than Ivy Capital.

The other capital representatives present all took a deep breath and took out their PHS phones to send messages to the leaders above.

This is the only disadvantage of PHS mobile phones. Text messages can be sent almost nationwide, but calls can only be sent within urban areas.

Pagers are still very popular in North America, but the number of PHS mobile phones has also begun to soar.

For representatives of financial companies, although the PHS mobile phone is not bad, in fact, everyone still hopes to have a more powerful mobile phone that can communicate across the country and even the world.

Of course, if communication is possible all over the world, then it must be a very expensive mobile phone, right?
In fact, it is not that Global Communications does not have mobile phones, but only a very small number of people may have them.

After all, North America has already launched geostationary satellites. This thing can definitely achieve global communication, well, except for the North and South Pole.

Unfortunately, after correspondence, representatives from Goldman Sachs Holdings and other representatives received the above reply and said they would not vote!

The valuation of US$1.23 billion is indeed too expensive.

Not worth it!

So, Sam Walton's choice is almost obvious.

Either Goldman Sachs Holdings’ valuation of US$800 million, or Sequoia Ventures’ valuation of US$1.23 billion.

Although Sam Walton still hoped that Goldman Sachs Holdings could slightly increase the valuation, after several days of negotiations, they still failed to do so.

The main reason is that Goldman Sachs Holdings believes that it is not worth it. US$800 million is already a very good valuation figure. If it is too high, they will need to take a lot of risks.

Moreover, the income may not be that high.

So they refused.

Compared with Wal-Mart Supermarket, companies like Goldman Sachs Holdings still prefer Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Unfortunately, Qianduoduo Supermarket has only launched one round of financing so far, and there is no trace of the second round of financing.

It can even be said that a second round of financing may no longer be necessary.

Just because Qianduoduo Supermarket currently has more than 500 stores worldwide, its average monthly revenue is basically stable at more than 28 billion US dollars.

The profit rate has also stabilized at more than 5%, and the monthly net profit can almost reach 1.4 billion US dollars.

The monthly net profit is as high as 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, which can almost meet the expansion capital needs of global stores.

Even if upstream farms, land, processing plants, etc. need to be acquired, that is almost enough.

In fact, it is very convenient for Qianduoduo Supermarket to acquire so many farms and land.

The mainland needs to import a large amount of food every year. In the past, it was definitely not possible to import all of it from North America, and it was even rarely imported from North America.

Of course, even now, it is impossible to import all the grain needed in the mainland from the farms controlled by Qianduoduo Supermarket.

A single import channel has no sense of security for the mainland. Even if Qianduoduo Supermarket is a white-glove company controlled by the mainland, it is impossible to attribute such food import rights to this one company.

You know, Richard Milhouse has already used food as a diplomatic weapon. To engage in the issue of a single importing country at this time is simply to seek death.

Importing from multiple channels such as different countries and regions is the safest way.

Because in this way, even if there is a problem with another channel, it will not have much impact on the mainland's food demand.

However, Qianduoduo Supermarket controls so many farms. In addition to Qianduoduo Supermarket's own sales channels, it will also transport the best quality grain back to the mainland at extremely low prices.

The cost of food at Qianduoduo Supermarket is already very low. For example, the corn purchased from Archer Daniels Midland Company is 1.5 million tons every year, and the price is 27% lower than the average market price.

At such a price, it is naturally very cheap.

Of course, as the president of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Chen Yuanchao must balance these aspects well, so that no one can find out the clues.

Anyway, it is a normal grain transaction. The price of grain in North America will only become cheaper and cheaper, and the volume of grain exports will definitely increase every year.

So there is no need to worry too much.

In the history of the original time and space, grain giants such as Archer Daniels Midland Company, Bunge Company, and Cargill Company all sold their food to Moscow at extremely low prices. From this point of view, one thing can be explained, that is The grain production in North America is really too high, and grain prices are really low.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the foreign policy of using food as a weapon formulated by Richard Milhouse has caused the rapid expansion of the four food giants Archer Daniels Midland Company.

It can almost be said that, except for the four grain giants, other small farms are almost dead.

Much of the land in North America has been taken away by the four major grain giants, so that they can carry out large-scale industrial farming and vigorously develop food crops with advanced technologies such as genetically modified soybeans and corn.

Therefore, grain production is increasing year by year, and the rate of increase is very fast.

Because of this, mountains of grain are piled up in the warehouses of the world's four major grain giants every year.

Even if a large amount of corn is harvested, processed into corn syrup, sold to ordinary people in North America at very low prices, and sold to Moscow at very low prices and other food sales methods, there will still be a lot of food surplus.

In this time and space, Qianduoduo Supermarket is also one of the food giants, acquiring large amounts of land, farms, etc.

Of course, the land and farms acquired by Qianduoduo Supermarket are very different from those acquired by several other food giants in terms of structure and location.

Qianduoduo Supermarket needs 60% of the land that can grow soybeans, corn, wheat and other food crops, 25% of livestock farms, and 15% of fruit and vegetable farms in the suburbs of major cities in the United States.

The three major grain giants Archer Daniels Midland Company only need farms that can grow food.

As a low-cost supermarket, the most important thing Qianduoduo Supermarket needs to consider is cost and transportation.

There is no need to mention food. Livestock farms are because Qianduoduo Supermarket needs to sell a large amount of meat such as beef and mutton, as well as dairy products such as milk, and poultry and other farms. These require a large amount of land to operate and manage. .

Fruit and vegetable farms are also easy to understand. At present, the diet structure of ordinary people in North America is quite normal, and they can at least afford vegetables.

If it's the future, it's really possible that we won't be able to afford it.

Fruit and vegetable farms are very important, especially bananas, which can be said to be one of the best-selling products in Qianduoduo Supermarket.

In the entire Qianduoduo supermarket, the best-selling products include bananas, fried chicken, paper towels, fast food, hamburgers, Happy Fat Home Water, etc., almost all of which are fast-moving consumer goods.

Bananas have gradually become the most favorite fruit among North Americans.

The main reason is that in Qianduoduo Supermarket, the price of bananas is very, very cheap, and their sales are very good. It is normal for them to become a best-selling product.

It can be said that Qianduoduo Supermarket's product structure, marketing strategy, consumer group size, etc., as well as revenue data, etc., are all top-notch.

In this case, it has little need to restart a second round of financing to accelerate its development.

Because at present, we only need to follow the existing management framework and profit data, etc., and we can continue to expand like this.

Moreover, it is also very stable.

So even if shareholders like Lannister Morgan are very coveted, what can they do?
It can only be said that they have to be grateful that they have already entered the venue, otherwise, the further back they go, the less qualified they will be to enter again.

Walmart Supermarket’s second round of financing has ended. Sequoia Ventures led the investment with a valuation of US$1.23 billion and successfully acquired 18% of Walmart Supermarket’s shares.

Ivy Capital followed the investment, so it still maintains a 15% stake.

Other financial companies have also followed suit, and Wall Street giants such as Goldman Sachs Holdings have withdrawn without following up.

Perhaps in their opinion, the valuation of US$1.23 billion is too high and not worth it!

It's still the 1970s, so investments are still relatively cautious and not that crazy.

In the history of the original time and space, after the millennium, you could start a business with just a PPT, and almost a business idea could attract hundreds of millions of investments. That was the most awesome and crazy era.

Wal-Mart Supermarket was the most powerful retail giant in the original time and space. Even in the Internet era, it is still a giant company.

Even in this time and space, Qianduoduo Supermarket almost blocked the fate of Wal-Mart Supermarket.

However, no matter what happens to Wal-Mart in the future, Mainland China will always make steady profits.

why?
Because if Wal-Mart supermarket develops, then it goes without saying that it will also be a great company and can compete with Qianduoduo Supermarket.

On the contrary, if it does not develop, then Wal-Mart supermarkets can also be acquired and added to the Qianduoduo supermarket system.

So, no matter what, white glove financial companies such as Sequoia Ventures just need to follow up.

Now, the Walton family's shareholding ratio has dropped to 55%, and 45% of the shares have been sold.

Sam Walton actually wants to take more shares to control Wal-Mart supermarkets.

Unfortunately, in today's era, with the rapid development of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Washington Supermarket, Costco Supermarket and other companies, if Wal-Mart Supermarket really sticks to its shares, it may be eliminated.

Therefore, even if Sam Walton is unwilling, he has to accept the reality.

Only when Wal-Mart Supermarket develops will its shares be valuable. Otherwise, the shares of a small business are no different than waste paper.

Just as Wal-Mart Supermarket completed its second round of financing, Apple in San Francisco, California, quietly developed a barely cost-effective communications product.

Big brother!
This mobile communication product is an epoch-making mobile communication device developed based on analog communication technology. In the history of the original time and space, it only began to appear in 1986.

But in this time and space, Apple, controlled by Ivy Capital and others, took the lead in developing the mobile phone product. Although it is relatively large and not as compact as a PHS phone, it can communicate over long distances. At least it is not like a PHS phone that can only make calls in urban areas.

"I said to DeGalfi, isn't our product too big? Can it be streamlined? It's as delicate and compact as a PHS mobile phone, okay?"

In Apple's conference room, everyone applauded warmly and gave affirmation and appreciation after seeing the Mobile Phone product.

But while we are happy, we must also face reality: the PHS mobile phone launched by China Resources is the real future.

After hearing the words of Apple President Hobbs Kittridge, the director of the technical department, DeGalfi, immediately shook his head and said:

"Hobbs, the entire Big Brother mobile phone is composed of battery, antenna, casing, keyboard and display screen, etc., including radio frequency power amplifier, 3M bit rewritable memory produced by China Resources Company, dual-mode serial input frequency synthesizer, China Resources The crystal oscillator, light alloy mid-casing, second-layer circuit board, etc. produced by the company are all necessary and cannot be disassembled."

In addition to these components, the entire Mobile Phone product also includes speakers, earpieces, etc., as well as the Huaxin 32 chip equipped with the latest technology purchased by Apple from China Resources.

It can be said that many components of this mobile phone are actually purchased from China Resources.

Just because the chips and other related components produced by China Resources are really cheap and their performance is very good.

In fact, compared to the Big Brother phone in the original time and space history, the Big Brother phone in this time and space is already nearly a quarter smaller, which is considered very good.

But even so, it is still very big. After all, it now has a PHS mobile phone as a reference.

Of course, the thickness of the high-strength plastic casing of the Big Brother mobile phone in the original time and space was more than 3.5 mm, while the plastic casing of the Big Brother phone in this time and space is only 1.8 mm.

After DeGalfi finished explaining, Hobskite Ridge was speechless.

"Forget it, as long as the market can accept it, there will be no problem."

As a result, Apple notified Ivy Capital, the controlling shareholder behind it, and the capital company sent representatives to conduct product acceptance.

Because Big Brother technology was originally provided by Ivy Capital, Apple just 'developed' this product.

So, from Ivy Capital to Apple, they are all foreigners, but in reality?

This is a mainland white glove company through and through.

The shareholders behind Ivy Capital are also very complex, and one of them that can be exposed is the Williams Laboratory of the University of Cambridge in London.

This Williams Laboratory is actually the same as Francis Biolabs, which controls Bristol Pharmaceuticals. They are both controlled by mainland white-glove companies.

There are so many layers of vests, and most of the vests are spread all over the world. It will take a lot of time just to investigate clearly.

If there wasn't some big feud or something else, basically no one would spend so much time and money investigating the shareholders behind it.

Chen Guohua uses global communication satellite encryption technology to control these white-glove companies. There is a special department in the mainland responsible for this matter.

There is no need to worry about encryption technology. Its technology is so advanced that it can be said to be updated simultaneously with the space station project.

Using the powerful computer technology within the Zhenhua Research Institute, these satellite communications are extremely encrypted. When receiving and transmitting, dozens to millions of different signals will be released at the same time, which can definitely make those eavesdropping enemy staff collapse. .

What's more, whether these signals can be monitored is still a big problem, not to mention whether they can be deciphered after being monitored is also a technical issue.

Unless the computer technology of foreigners can catch up with Zhenhua Research Institute, otherwise, it is just nonsense.

Therefore, in terms of information transmission, it is still very secure.

It's just that humans are complex animals after all.

After all, this is what a white-glove business is, and there is always the possibility that something will happen that is beyond your control.

At this time, a huge intelligence system and fire-fighting team are needed to control the situation.

For the time being, in the 1970s and 1980s, or in this era when information was not very developed, it could still be controlled.

As for the future?
In the Internet era, Chen Guohua will come up with other more advanced and more convenient monitoring technologies.

After Ivy Capital accepted the Big Brother mobile phone product, it reported to the superiors, and the production of this product began.

Ivy Capital informed Apple that all component procurement will be completed by Ivy Capital.

Apple is only responsible for product development and design, leaving the production to several other suppliers controlled by Ivy Capital.

As soon as Ivy Capital had handed over all the product technologies for Big Brother mobile phones to Apple, Raymond, the president of Loft Technology Company, came to visit him following the clues. He had already paid a visit.

"Hello Mr. Kittredge, I am Raymond, the president of Loft Technology Company. Nice to meet you. In fact, we were at the last party."

As soon as he walked in, Raymond started to get close to her.

I happened to hear that Apple had designed and developed a mobile communication device. How could Raymond be able to endure it?

When China Resources Corporation successively launched one-way pagers, two-way pagers, PHS mobile phones and other mobile communication equipment and made a lot of money, all the capital in the world became interested in this industry.

It's a pity that the technical characteristics of China Resources' products are really disappointing.

The technology seems simple, but actually replicating it requires time and capital costs, followed by the product price.

Whether it is a pager or a PHS mobile phone, the prices of these products have one characteristic, that is, they are cheap.

A PHS cell phone that costs US$499 is already very cheap, right?
But from the perspective of big capitalists like Lannister Morgan, even if one unit is sold for 10,000 US dollars, it is not expensive, and there will still be many people willing to pay for it.

After a few years, the price will slowly come down, and one machine will be able to earn profits for several more years.

As a result, China Resources has set the prices of these products very low from the beginning, which has made the capital desperate in terms of cost.

No one wants to spend so much money to copy a counterfeit product, but the final cost is higher than the genuine product. The key is that the quality of the counterfeit product is likely to be inferior to the genuine product.

Isn't this embarrassing?
And this is why no company is willing to copy these products of China Resources.

Mainly because it is unprofitable.

In other words, even if it is profitable, the road is blocked by China Resources. Who would dare to enter this dead end?

Therefore, after learning that Apple had developed a mobile communication device, Raymond, as a neighbor, was the first to come over to learn about the situation.

Hobskite Ridge entertained Raymond warmly, but when he heard that the latter said that he wanted to acquire the Big Brother mobile phone, or obtain the patent for the Big Brother phone, Hobskite Ridge suddenly turned pale. Weirdly said:

"Raymon, we at Apple are only involved in the R&D and design of mobile phones, and our company is not responsible for the production."

"So, whether it is an acquisition or a patent purchase, these need to be communicated with our parent company Ivy Capital."

"However, I don't think you need to waste time, because our parent company has already made relevant plans, and we will release this big brother product in about half a year."

Whether this information is made public or not actually makes no difference to capitalists like Raymond.

Because Big Brother mobile phones definitely require a large number of signal base stations, which are different from PHS signal base stations.

The latter's signal technology only covers a range of five hundred meters, while mobile phones based on analog communication signal technology can cover a range of dozens of kilometers.

Mobile Phone uses the first-generation analog mobile communication system technology and adopts a large-area system for base station construction. The base stations cover a range of dozens of kilometers.

Of course, if the transmission power is large, its radiation will also be large.

So this kind of radiation actually has a lot to say.

First of all, regarding the definition of radiation, it refers to the fact that all objects in nature, as long as the temperature is above absolute zero, continuously transmit heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. This method of transmitting energy is called radiation.

The energy emitted by objects through radiation is called radiant energy, or radiation for short.

However, radiation is everywhere in our lives, ranging from the sun to mobile phones. It can be said that the possibility of staying away from radiation is almost zero.

The second is to realize that although radiation is everywhere, human beings are lucky and not so vulnerable. Moreover, there are many types of radiation, and most of the radiation is not that scary.

Just like the sun transmits light energy to the earth and the flame transmits heat energy to the surroundings, when radiant energy is absorbed by an object, a thermal effect occurs. Different radiant energy absorbed by the object produces different temperatures.

Therefore, radiation is actually just a phenomenon of energy spreading outward.

Radiation similar to that produced by atomic bombs, nuclear leaks, etc. is called ionizing radiation, generally called rays, such as alpha rays and beta rays, which are the real culprits that everyone usually talks about.

Just because it destroys the cell structure of living organisms is one of the causes of cancer.

Relatively alarming ionizing radiation, the electromagnetic radiation generated by electric fans, mobile phones and other electrical appliances in daily life, as well as communication base stations, falls within the scope of non-ionizing radiation.

This does not mean that non-ionizing radiation is completely harmless to the human body. It just means that for now, there is no evidence that a small amount of electromagnetic radiation can pose a threat to human health. All you need to do is maintain a good living habit, use electrical appliances in appropriate ways, and a With a normal mentality, there is no need to worry about electromagnetic radiation.

When Orange Communications, a company controlled by Ivy Capital, was building base stations, capitalists like Raymond could definitely query this information.

So whether Hobbs Keetridge kept it secret or not didn't make much of a difference.

After Raymond learned about this, he immediately expressed regret, but he still asked for the contact information of the executives of Ivy Capital.

After Raymond left Apple, he immediately contacted Ivy Capital executive Radim Passer.

After the latter learned the identity and purpose of the visit, he was not surprised and declined very politely.

After finally getting a business, how could Radim Passer sell the patent for this mobile phone?

Ivy Capital is not China Resources!

So rejecting Raymond is a normal operation.

As for whether the Big Brother product is profitable, do you still need to ask?

After rejecting Raymond, Radim Passer also expected that many people would definitely call him next.

Just because those capital giants will definitely not be willing to do so, and whether Ivy Capital can stop these big capital giants depends on their own methods.

In fact, Ivy Capital has not been operating in North America for many years, but as an emerging financial company, it is still very powerful.

What's more, Qianduoduo Supermarket has acquired so much farm land, almost all over North America.

As well as more than 500 supermarkets across North America, as well as logistics centers, etc., it can be said that there is no problem at all for Ivy Capital to build base stations.

However, eating alone is definitely not possible in the long run.

Therefore, small capitals like Raymond can refuse directly, but large capitals such as Lannister Morgan and Von Derian would find it difficult to refuse.

As a result, half a month later, many people came to Apple's headquarters in San Francisco.

"Hey, you British nobles are here too? You are really a rare visitor."

When Hobart D'Alessandro stepped into Apple's headquarters and saw Richard Grosvenor, he couldn't help but sarcastically said.

The Dalessandro family is descended from Italian immigrants. When they crossed the ocean, they were often oppressed by the British nobles. Therefore, every time Dalessandro in Hobart saw these British nobles, he would You won’t give the other party a good look.

This Richard Grosvenor is from the British Consortium. He also smelled the smell and came to North America.

"Tch, I thought it was some mad dog barking, but it turned out to be you. No wonder."

Richard Grosvenor didn't give the other party a good look either, but he still maintained his aristocratic 'respectability'.

The word "mad dog" immediately stimulated Hobart D'Alessandro.

However, before he got mad, someone else came over.

They are Kerston Yosek of the Yosek family of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, Takahiro Morita of the Sumitomo Corporation of Tokyo, Clive of the McCormick family of Chicago, and Carl Vinson of the Dawes family of the First Citibank Corporation. Weiss.

They are all regulars on the global underground wealth list. Although no one knows exactly how much wealth they have, they can make a rough guess.

With these people here, Richard Grosvenor and Hobart Dallisandro will naturally not continue to argue. Otherwise, they will be laughed at, which will be even worse.

There is cooperation and competition among chaebols all over the world, and there is almost no time when they are intimate.

They all come for the sake of profit and leave for the sake of profit. There is nothing to say.

After a very hypocritical greeting, everyone walked into the conference room.

The conference room is very large. It was a large conference room arranged by Hobskite Ridge early, which is enough for these consortium bosses to do their work.

Today's protagonist is not Hobbes Kittridge, but he is the host, personally presiding over the meeting.

Of course, it is the mainland that is really behind the scenes.

Even Radim Passer of Ivy Capital is nothing more than a tool for the megaphone.

The plan has already been determined, and even the specific cooperation partners have been basically determined.

Anyway, no matter what, it's basically settled and there won't be much difference.

After Lannister Morgan, Brenda Mellon, Augustus and others also came to the conference room, all seats were filled and the meeting officially began.

Facing this new mobile communication device called Mobile Phone, few big capitalists can remain calm.

The PHS mobile phone is a precedent, so everyone hopes to make some extra money through the Big Brother mobile phone.

However, not long after the meeting started, Apple's Hobbs Kittridge showed off the Big Brother mobile phone and gave relevant technical explanations. Many big capitalists present frowned.

First, the size of the Big Brother mobile phone is still a bit too large, and it is far less exquisite and exquisite than the PHS mobile phone.

Although the appearance design of the Big Brother mobile phone is also full of technological elements, it is also very advanced and fashionable, and it is definitely not an outdated design.

But for this size, it is not as amazing as the PHS phone.

The second is that the signal coverage of Big Brother mobile phones is indeed much better than that of PHS mobile phones, which is worthy of praise.

However, the communication signal of mobile phones is still a bit poor, which can be seen from a technical perspective.

Using analog signal transmission, this analog type uses FM modulation in wireless transmission to convert the voice between 300Hz and 3400Hz to the high-frequency carrier frequency MHz.

But even so, its voice communication signal is still not as good as PHS microcell technology.

The microcell technology system uses miniaturized base stations and low-power transmission technology, which can provide a faster and more stable communication experience under wireless network coverage.

Its advantage is mainly reflected in the more stable and efficient communication quality. Its low-power transmission technology can not only reduce battery consumption, but also minimize the impact of radiation on the environment and human body.

Seeing the frowns of the big capitalists, Hobskite Ridge, as the president of Apple, was a little panicked.

After all, it was his first time to host such a high-level meeting. The people listening to him were all big capital tycoons. The stamp of one of them could cause an economic earthquake in a certain area.

Therefore, Hobbskittridge was very cautious when speaking.

Radim Passer was speechless when he saw this scene. He was really a dead scientist who couldn't support the wall, so he should do it.

PS: Two updates are sent, please vote for me!
