Chapter 250 The drunkard's intention is not to drink 【Seeking double monthly ticket】
"Ayao, we really want to poach Indra Noui, what position should I give her? What treatment?"
"Let her be the president of Sigram Group directly, and she is fully responsible for the operation of the company, giving her an annual salary of US$2 million, plus 2% of Sigram shares."
Melissa nodded and replied: "Okay, Sigram Liquor Company does need a new CEO to change it. Ms. Indra Noui is very young and more motivated."
"There are a few more things. I want to ask for your opinion. I want to replace Meg Whitman from MP3 and let her serve as the Prime Minister of Lingxi. In addition, I will also poach the old man Qiu Qichang and serve as the first deputy prime minister. I also want to invite Yingluo from the Sinava family to serve as the deputy prime minister. With these three people, I believe that I don't need to interfere too much in the internal affairs of Lingxi."
"Ayao, you have not started the founding of the country yet, just thinking about giving up. Can this country still have a good idea?"
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food, and governing a small country is like facing a great enemy. The most important thing for us is to balance the relationship between China, the United States and Thailand. These three people happen to be from these three parties, which is more appropriate in my opinion."
"I don't know much about politics, Achu, what do you think?" Melissa turned to Lu Chuqing and asked.
"I don't know much about Meg Whitman, but it's 40 years old, so it should be relatively stable. This is easy to say. Lao Qiu can agree to you. He has been coordinating your contact with the superiors for more than a year. I think the superiors will definitely contribute to this. I don't know how capable the Sinava family you mentioned, but I think it must be very beautiful." Lu Chuqing glanced at Cang Yaozu and said.
"Well, you're thinking too much. Yingluck is pretty good. She's more Zhou Zheng. She's really not married. The main reason is that the status of married women in Thailand is too low. Therefore, in their upper class, many women don't get married, mainly for economic and political considerations. Yingluck has a long-term fixed boyfriend and the other party has proposed to her. We can invite them and couples to become naturalized together, and she will serve as the deputy prime minister. She is from a political major in college."
"Ayao, are you very disappointed? He already has a master of famous flowers." Lu Chuqing teased.
"In your heart, I'm not so hungry. I'm very principled. What I value is her work ability. Let Ubolla dig her. I can tell her an idiom, that is, cunning rabbits have three holes, and eggs cannot be placed in a basket. Her brother has already been in politics in Thailand. Naturally, she can come to Lingxi to do something. Although our country is young, in a few years, our annual GDP may be greater than Thailand. Isn't it just 100 billion US dollars of GDP? This is a trivial matter. If she really doesn't agree, she will ask her brother to do her job. It's not OK. Let Ubolla go to find the old Thai king to put pressure on someone."
"Okay, for you, the three pillars of government affairs, and for you to easily hide beside you and be lazy. We will definitely invite all three of you to come here."
"If Yingluck agrees, then the first thing she wants to do is to open mobile communications and fiber optic networks for Lingxi Islands and nearby islands, and cooperate with the overall planning of Lingxi Islands to prioritize the wiring of the communication network. The global submarine optical cable system FLAG was launched this year. There are nodes in Bangkok, Thailand. Let Yingluck talk, so we have to hurry up and connect to it. If those islands have neither power nor network, they will be a paradise that is isolated from the world."
"Okay, it's definitely easy to do things with money. Once the fiber optic is connected, you can communicate and access the Internet, but electricity is a big problem."
"Yes, we can solve the problem in various ways. In the early stage, we can pull cables from Tongai Mansion. When our wind and nuclear power are developed, there will be no problem. In the future, the pillar industry of Lingxi Island will be the ICT information industry. If we want to be the first country in the world to open a 3G network, we will use the European WCDMA and our own TD-SCDMA standards. Although these two 3G standards are not yet mature, we will also use the experimental network.
We spent a lot of money to them and invited them to lay a 3G pilot network on the island. By the way, we have a 30% stake in the Asia Telecom TURE company in Xie’s family. We can give priority to cooperation with them and make them the designated telecommunications providers in Lingxiguo. In addition to commercializing 3G as soon as possible, we also need to make fiber optic homes and provide free WIFI networks in all public places.
I have asked the company's communications R&D team and HTC company to develop 3G mobile phones as soon as possible. At the same time, I also invited European communications and computer experts to independently develop optical cats and routers.
Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. I heard that General Magic is in a financial crisis. If you contact them, you will say we can acquire them, but all the employees must be there. We can provide sufficient funds for General Magic to carry out subsequent research and development, but we must hold the company."
"Is this a little faster? It's a bit too advanced. There are not many communication equipment and communication terminals? You acquired General Magic to solve the problem of mobile terminals?"
"It's okay, there are not many people on our island now. After a year, the communication network can be used. As long as there is a basic network, the mobile terminal will be developed very quickly. Don't worry about this, and it won't cost much money. General Magic's technology is pretty good, and I appreciate a few people in their company, so I must keep them."
This General Magic company was spun off from Apple. Now Apple is developing the first generation of iMac under the leadership of Jobs. Even if you still have some money, you probably won’t dare to spend it randomly. General Magic has been struggling under the impact of PALM and has fallen into a serious financial crisis.
Many people in General Magic have already found another way out, such as Andy Rubin, the father of Android, Pierre Omidia, the founder of eBay, etc., but General Magic has several great contributors to create iPods, iPads and iPhones for Apple in the future.
The purpose of Cang Yaozu's acquisition of this company was to block Jobs' path from MP3 and smartphones as much as possible. If the two disgusting things in the United States are Qualcomm tax and Apple tax. Of course, if the money is given to Cang Yaozu, he will definitely be very happy, but 30% is indeed too high, so it's better to implement a gradient tax rate of 10%-20%.
"Are the island just surveying the terrain now?" Melissa asked when she saw Cang Yaozu's thoughts began to float around again.
"Well, most people are conducting survey work, and the follow-up work must be supported by sound data, and our family background must also be clear and clear, so as to make a good start for the sea-building and large-scale construction in the future.
These staff members are temporarily living in the houses of former islanders. I also transported some tents and pure electric RVs by boat. For the RVs, they rely solely on wind power and solar panels, and it seems that some temporary power generation devices have to be transported there.
I promised a guy to help him build his architectural firm first. It seems that he has to break his promise. He has to plan and build a seawater desalination plant and a power plant first. He has to do something like wind power first, and then buy some offshore wind power ships and small nuclear power ships."
"It's really funny. A wild land is going to be the world's first commercial 3G country. At that time, each of us will take a mobile phone, and call from the trees to the sea, from this island to that island, and make a meal." Lu Chuqing thought about it and made a meal.
"The sales and downloads of ringtones in several countries have been very good recently. I think there will be at least 300 million US dollars per month, which should alleviate our financial shortage. I guess Meg Whitman is working hard to continue charging, but you are sent to this place where birds don't poop. When she arrives, I guess she can hit you." Melissa teased.
Cang Yaozu smiled and said, "That's not. Ms. Whitman has always been in politics, and the position of Prime Minister is able to play her strengths. She can work together on the CEO of MP3.com. Work remotely first. At that time, give her more secretary and assistants. The administrative secretary here and the assistants at the company are arranged. Just don't delay things."
Cang Yaozu and Meg Whitman have talked many times, and of course I know that she has been in politics for a long time. In terms of technology, Meg Whitman is actually not particularly good at it. She is from economics. She is forced to do so. No matter who she takes the position of CEO, she will be forced to become a versatile.
Cang Yaozu was forced to take the initiative to sit in the position of the boss behind Lingxi Country. He is not good at this. He is studying communications, so he treats the country as a company, manages various boards of directors, hires managers, performance appraisal systems, promotions and salary increases, equity incentives, all of which are all done. Just treat it as a group company covering an area of 812 square kilometers. There are so many elites who can’t sort it out in a year? Just kidding.
Of course, Cang Yaozu also had some ideas to expand the area of territorial seas. Well, after going back, some islands and reefs will be created manually, and the undersea resort will also be launched at the same time. It seems that we have to find a glass manufacturing company.
When it comes to glass manufacturing, Cang Yaozu naturally remembers a company, Corning, the United States, which provides glass substrates for many consumer electronic products. Corning was invented by early on inventing the diamond glass, also known as Gorilla Glass, which is an environmentally friendly aluminum-silicon tempered glass. Apple phones use it to make glass substrates.
I don’t know if this tempered glass can be used to make an underwater vacation villa. If it is used on a seabed that is several dozen meters deep, it will be about 20mm thick. The specific performance parameters must of course be calculated by engineers in detail. After all, safety is the first priority, and there are also cost-effectiveness to consider. Cang Yaozu doesn’t understand these.
We can use this reason to buy this technology. Although the era of smartphones has not yet arrived, there is no need to worry, Cang Yaozu still wants to develop this aluminum-silicon tempered glass to lay a solid foundation for the future smartphone era.
Aluminum-silicon glass is a pressure-resistant glass that does not contain alkali, with excellent high-pressure resistance. It is a special glass for various boilers, high-pressure reactors, petrochemicals and submarines.
In addition to glass, Corning actually also manufactures optical fibers and has set up an optical fiber production factory in China. This company has a long history. With the development of the Internet bubble, the company will reach its peak in 2000, with the market value soaring 10 times in three years, and then quickly fall.
Corning also developed high borosilicate glass, also known as hard glass, which is acid-, alkali-, temperature- and pressure-resistant. The semi-tempered high borosilicate glass has better performance. Corning invented G3.3 high borosilicate glass as early as the early 20th century, which is also a high-tech raw material for the manufacture of atomic weapons, biological weapons and chemical weapons. Therefore, high borosilicate glass is also a raw material for the embargo of the Wassenah Agreement.
The manufacturing process of these two types of glass has been conquered in later generations. Cang Yaozu has seen relevant papers and materials, so it should not be difficult to develop. If a foreign glass company can be acquired, the speed will be faster. Corning's acquisition is too difficult, but Gorilla Glass is not useful now, and it is just a technology that has been idle for many years at Corning.
Corning developed King Kong glass in the 1960s, but it has not produced this glass in the past 30 years. Therefore, Cang Yaozu's plan is to buy Corning's idle Gorilla Glass's complete technology for subsequent research and development under the absurdity of building a subsea crystal palace. Corning must be happy to see it.
As for why you didn't buy out the patent for this technology, haha, the patent has expired long ago. After buying the base, you will definitely have to replace the technology and develop it again. Then you can apply for a patent again. Once the technology has accumulated, Cang Yaozu will build a factory to produce construction glass, automotive glass and this kind of special glass for seabeds. Cang Yaozu didn't expect that he would even cross the glass industry. It's really interesting to think about it.
If Corning cannot make it here, then there is another alternative. Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. of Sakura Country is also good. It is the second largest glass company in the world. It is the glass king of Sakura Country. Corning's biggest competitor. Asahi Glass means glass in Japanese.
Yandu’s Water Cube and Bird’s Nest use fluororesin films provided by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. The problem with Asahi Glass is that they do not have the technology of aluminum-silicon tempered glass, but this kind of glass has been invented for a long time. Even without the guidance and help of Kura Yotsu, they have only been developed for a year and a half.
It is now the Asian financial crisis, and maybe the conditions for cooperation between Sakura Country are more suitable. Kura Yoko's biggest concern may be that Asahi Glass quickly masters this technology and feels unwilling to accept it. He cannot use technology to invest in the enemy. If it really doesn't work, he can poach people to do research and development by himself. Anyway, he is not very anxious.
There is no way to work in an industry and inevitably penetrate into the upstream industrial chain. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to be strangled. First, the entire industrial chain, and then the ecological linkage matrix. If you keep yourself invincible, you can start to expand horizontally, and then the east will not shine, the west will shine. One day, the industry can’t survive, so if you change the industry, you will still be the overlord.
It’s not that Cang Yaozu had thought of finding domestic companies to do research and development. Well, that’s the last way. Now, Fuyao Glass has been established, but this company mainly produces automotive glass. Cang Yaozu himself understands some technical points of alkali-free aluminum-silicon chemical tempered glass, but there is still a big distance between knowing the technical points and industrial mass production.
Once Cang Yaozu mastered this technology, he could eliminate the possibility that Corning would not sell it to him. After all, he already knew the key points of the technology. If he didn't sell it, he would just take some time to study it himself and he could research it sooner or later. Corning would be better than using waste.
If Cang Yaozu, the dandy underwater crystal palace, could be successfully built, it would be a magical scene, right? Maybe there will be more earthen moats to build underwater palaces. Wouldn't this glass application scenario be built, and then US dollars will roll in.
Cang Yaozu would rather spend some money to buy this technology. It would be even better if he could poach some people from Corning. Even if he gave Corning a little shares or a joint venture factory, the production equipment would be settled. Anyway, this glass factory must be built in Thailand and China. The labor cost here is low, which can greatly reduce the cost of glass, and can also establish a research room for subsequent research and development to prepare for the production of smartphone glass substrates.
Of course, even with the help of Corning, it will take at least a few months for the factory to successfully produce glass. As for the construction of the first undersea crystal palace, it will probably have to meet next year.
As for buying out this technology, it is almost impossible, and Cang Yaozu doesn't want such a good thing. When Corning finds that Cang Yaozu makes money, they will naturally pick up this technology again. No one will have to make money. Moreover, the technology will continue to be developed and updated, and competition is inevitable.
The way to eliminate or reduce competition is to buy Corning. But now it is estimated that if you buy Corning, the price is expensive and the government may not allow it. Corning has too many technical reserves and is also sensitive materials and technologies.
Cang Yaozu's strategy is to earn some Corning's stocks, and then wait for the stock price to reach its peak in mid-2000 to sell them all, and then by the end of 2000, Corning's stock price will hit a new low, Corning will also suffer a nearly devastating blow. Corning's major shareholder Huo Ting's family will also withdraw from Corning due to excessive losses. That is the best time to acquire it. It would be good to let Melissa use the identity of the American consortium to acquire it.
In fact, some plexiglass and thickened tempered glass can withstand water pressure of dozens of meters. After all, it is not to go to the deep sea to make trouble, but Cang Yaozu's intention is not to drink. Cang Yaozu is just to attract tourists to come to stay and consume, and the glass substrate of a smartphone is Cang Yaozu's real purpose.
As for which tempered glass is suitable for building a submarine crystal palace, many factors need to be considered, safety, cost, etc. Anyway, you can make all the glasses and leave them to professionals for testing. As for Cang Yaozu, he just points out the direction and then invests money.
Cang Yaozu's words to Melissa were a lucky guy who married the granddaughter of the old Thai king. The old Thai king gave some islands to this unmarried young couple as a foundation, but there was no good house on the island and there was no way to get married. So the old Thai king's grandson-in-law thought of a trick, he wanted to build a super luxurious crystal palace and a seabed vacation scenic spot on the bottom of the sea near the island.
This undersea crystal palace can not only serve as their newlywed wedding house, but also create the most magical scenic spot. For this reason, he studied some glass making methods and successfully made this glass in the laboratory using this method. However, when he wanted to apply for a patent, he found that you had such technology long ago and even the patent had expired.
This guy wants to buy your mature technology and a complete set of glass production equipment, and asks Corning to send a R&D team to continue some follow-up research and development, and jointly build a factory in Thailand to create a submarine resort scenic spot as soon as possible. He admires Corning's technical strength and wants to buy some Corning stocks.
