Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

September 5th, the last day of the Hangzhou Summit.

No matter how many waves there were yesterday, this meeting must be held today.

The activities that the people of Hangzhou have been preparing for a long time cannot go wrong.

Sit down! Let's start the meeting first.

Many leaders came to the venue with dark circles under their eyes and tired eyes.

It was obvious that they were very busy last night, especially those places with different time zones from China, which corresponded to their own daytime. They were busy all night. Their lips were almost worn out.

However, after arriving at the venue, these leaders still had to force a smile to face the camera.

The host of the summit is the lifesaver of astronauts from various countries. After a night of fermentation, "Thank you China" became a main theme.

There were also some "parliamentarians" who took a radical approach and insisted on singing the opposite tune, but without exception, they were scolded to death.

According to the information Zhou Rui received, Hangzhou came and went last night, just like a tea party, and there were more than 20 private meetings between leaders alone.

As the host, we did not interfere, let alone monitor. The more times like this, the more strategic determination is needed.

In the conference hall, Zhou Rui did not write or draw anymore, but just sat there in an ordinary and serious manner.

According to the progress of the meeting, this morning is the third and fourth phases of the meeting, there is a working lunch at noon, and the closing ceremony and press conference in the afternoon.

The closing ceremony is no longer held in the form of a literary evening, but a ritual closing in the venue, mainly for the leaders of various countries to take photos together.

As for the final press conference, the leaders of various countries no longer participated, as they had already started their return journey at that time. Instead, it was held by the organizers of the summit to announce the results of this summit.

Due to the special situation yesterday, the "12 astronauts" incident naturally had to be officially announced at the press conference, and Zhou Rui would attend in person.

He had already held an emergency press conference last night, but it was very late at that time, and the participants were basically domestic media. Tonight's meeting will be more formal, and there will be more information disclosed.

More major media around the world have sent their own reporters to rush here, and many are still on intercontinental flights.

The morning meeting agenda was not very exciting. In order to reach a consensus as much as possible and avoid the failure of the joint statement, the various topics of the summit were relatively "stream of consciousness".

For example, "promoting global trade fairness", "vigorously promoting scientific and technological innovation", "ensuring smooth cultural exchanges" and other metaphysical content.

According to international rules, even if a special event occurs during the meeting, no additional related topics will be added.

So it was smooth and steady to the working lunch at noon.

I don't know if the chef team has changed or what, today's dishes are much better than the previous few days. Zhou Rui can rarely devote himself to food.

When people at each table stood up and started the social stage, a special guest came to the table where Zhou Rui was.

Lonely Island Cavalry, Omar.

Even if he will leave office in a month, even if he is almost certain that his reputation will not be very good in the future, the behavior of this kind of person taking the initiative to come to the "industrial and commercial representatives" table to chat is still enough to bluff people.

Even the other people at the same table were stunned.

This Omar was very graceful. He said a few words to the Indian telecom tycoon next to Zhou Rui, and then took his seat.

Other people at the table picked up their glasses and left the table to socialize somewhere else. Several of Omar's personal security guards slightly turned sideways and separated this small area at a clever angle, barely creating a private conversation space.

Zhou Rui didn't move his butt, looking very calm, just smiled and said, "Hello, I haven't had the chance to say hello in person."

Omar also smiled and said, "After all, you are busy doing big things. In fact, I wanted to invite you to the hotel for a meeting several times, but I didn't find the opportunity."

I couldn't make an appointment with Zhou Rui, and he never went abroad. This should be the last opportunity for face-to-face communication before Omar left office, so he took the initiative to find him at such a lunch occasion.

Zhou Rui nodded: "It's a bit busy indeed. I wonder what Mr. Leader can do for you?"

Omar took a sip of the champagne in his hand and said: "Mr. Zhou has business all over the world. Although North America is not the main battlefield of Furui Group, it is still the world's largest consumer market. Your company can earn billions of dollars in profits in North America every year."

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Mr. Omar is reminding me to be careful about the business environment there?"

A threat? So naive?

Omar suddenly smiled with a little helplessness, but this helplessness was more of a performance for Zhou Rui.

"No, I want to say that Furui Group can get more in the future."

Omar raised his glass: "I am here to convey goodwill rather than threats. Many people in North America have goodwill towards you."

He will leave office in a month, so he has become a very useful "tool man" for those behind him.

The faction he belongs to and the power behind him will maximize the value of his last month.

Similarly, he will try his best to cooperate, because leaving office is not death, and all that should be exchanged must be exchanged. Will he not mix in the future?

Can the Lonely Island Cavalry still get on board?

Not far away, someone in the organization naturally noticed that Omar had a private chat with Master Zhou, and the situation was reported, and soon someone was ready to interrupt the conversation.

However, not long after, the instruction received was: Don't worry about it.

Beside Zhou Rui, Omar leaned back and looked very relaxed. From a distance, it seemed as if he was talking to Zhou Rui about the scenery of California Beach and inviting him to sunbathe.

But what he said was not how to apply sunscreen.

"In the future, whether it is 'Enlightened Intelligence' or 'Lingshu Biology', or even other new companies under your umbrella, they can all move freely in North America. We had some minor frictions in the past, but no one will bother you in the future. Whether it is laws, tariffs, or even policy subsidies, your profit share in the North American market can even increase from billions to tens of billions."

"This has nothing to do with any issues between countries. It is purely goodwill to you personally and Furui Group. This is not my personal promise, but an olive branch extended by those who can fulfill their promises in ten years or even longer."

Zhou Rui cut the veal steak in front of him with a knife, then changed a pair of chopsticks to pick it up and put it into his mouth.

After a long while, he said, "So what you want to talk about is 'extending life', right?"

Omar smiled, "Yes, we just need some quotas, which are not open to the public. After all, not everyone can come to the stage conveniently."

"We don't even need the technology itself. This technology can only be improved in the hands of a genius like you, right? Many people are looking forward to your future."

Zhou Rui will continue to enjoy his steak, which is one of the few dishes that surprised him at the banquet in the past few days.

"Mr. Omar, if I understand correctly, many technologies mastered by Fu Rui Group can already form an industrial blow to North America. Strategically speaking, in order to protect the interests of your country, you should try to obstruct it as much as possible, such as what you have been doing before."

Omar said righteously, "That is protectionist thinking, and we are a free and open economy."

Zhou Rui looked at him with a strange look, meaning "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Omar smiled and said:

"Come on! Those are all things on the surface, and today I am only talking about myself and my friends. "

"You should know which is the truly effective rule."

Zhou Rui nodded: "When I was in school, the teacher said a paragraph, saying: The separation of powers and checks and balances in a certain country is a perfect system. Only by putting the power of ** in a cage can we have a society where everyone is equal."

Omar didn't know why the other party mentioned this, but he was very familiar with this statement: "Yes, this is indeed our advantage."

Zhou Rui continued: "When I grew up, I knew it was bullshit, but I didn't think about it carefully. Today you came and I realized that the focus was wrong. "

"The problem is. Who is outside the cage and who locked the cage. "

Omar smiled without saying anything, obviously not ready to talk about this kind of "philosophical" problem with Zhou Rui here.

"So, what's your answer?"

"The North American market is open, and it has no appeal to me, because I don't value it at all. If I want to exchange, I need something else."

Omar's eyes lit up: "As long as it's reasonable, we can talk about it."

From beginning to end, Omar didn't talk about "astronauts" at all, which seemed very pure.

This guy who is about to resign came for himself.

Zhou Rui had a little smile on his face, although the details still need to be discussed and he can't trust it completely.

But this is indeed a good business.

In order to survive, the people outside the cage regard the things in the cage as commodities.

There are actually a lot of valuable things in there.

The more Zhou Rui buys, the more things in the cage lose.

It's just a few rotten old dogs who want to prolong their lives. Whether these people are alive or dead, it doesn't affect their family much.

No, or it's better to be alive.

Then fight for it.
