"If you were successful, what would you most like to do?"

"Of course, it's to sail around the world, preferably on a luxury yacht, where you can see the world's scenery and taste the world's food at the same time, without hurrying or worrying.

Hehe, but it's impossible, not in this life. Luxury yachts that cost tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and my boss's boss may not be able to afford them. ”

Sitting on the deck of the top deck of the rejuvenated "Aries" luxury yacht, Liu Ruoyi, who was alone, had her long hair fluttering in a gust of strong sea breeze, remembering the impossible dream in her heart in the previous time and space.

I couldn't help but laugh.

In that time and space, there is no problem in traveling around the world freely, but driving a luxury yacht? Forget it, a working dog, although it is a high-level working dog in that time and space, this dream is always just a dream.

But this time and space, this dream has now become a reality.

"Sister, Luo Shao and Dong Shao said that they are ready to play mahjong!"

At the spiral staircase next to him, a sturdy young man with eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to Liu Ruoyi just showed his head and shouted at Liu Ruoyi.

"You go first, don't worry, the sun hasn't set over the sea yet, wait until I finish watching the sunset. Liu Ruoyi waved her hand, looked through her black sunglasses, and looked at the big fireball that was slowly landing remotely, and she was reluctant to go down.

It is rare that in the sea and sky, there is a colorful sky, although the next few wonders have opportunities, but the time to play cards will be longer.

...

In the past few years, the financial crisis has continued, followed by the European debt crisis induced after the subprime mortgage crisis, so that the cornerstone investment and West Coast capital that have been full of harvest have "made persistent efforts", and shorted Europe in an all-round way through various means, and re-struck a handful of wool on the EU.

Relatively speaking, the progress of this European debt crisis Liu Ruoyi personally experienced in the last time and space, and his memory is more profound, and he is naturally more confident and bold in operation, and now he is financially powerful, and there is no doubt that he is ahead of the group of vampires on Wall Street, and he has unknowingly become one of the main forces to short Europe in advance.

After more than three years of tossing, Liu Ruoyi's two main institutions have obtained excess returns openly and secretly, not counting other investors, Liu Ruoyi alone has exceeded 80 billion euros!

A huge financial crisis that has affected the world and caused trillions of dollars in losses is a "few super feasts" for Liu Ruoyi!

This allowed Liu Ruoyi to invest money in semiconductors on a large scale, which led to the shrinking purse, and regained the opportunity to replenish through the European debt crisis, resulting in a huge "balance".

Based on the financial assets in Liu Ruoyi's name alone, Liu Ruoyi's various financial assets that can be used now have exceeded more than 300 billion US dollars, in other words, this amount has exceeded the last two and three of the world's top ten foreign exchange reserve countries!

This is a country that is truly rich and unbeatable!

So took out an insignificant part of this part of the "balance" and spent it on a dream of Liu Ruoyi's previous life. From the hands of a Russian tyrant who lost all his money in the European debt crisis, Liu Ruoyi traded back a second-hand luxury yacht.

It's not that Liu Ruoyi wants to save money, from the fact that the second-hand transaction price is as high as 100 million US dollars, you can imagine how luxurious this luxury yacht used to be. Rather, this luxury yacht has a speed unlike any other yacht and is currently one of the ten fastest luxury yachts in the world.

It's not something you can buy casually.

However, after getting her hands on it, Liu Ruoyi found that even the toilet was inlaid with gold and the dazzling luxury was really unacceptable, so she invested nearly tens of millions of dollars and sent it back to the original factory for remodeling.

The glittering gold ornament is of course all removed, and directly melted back into the gold nuggion, and the new transformation is completely renovated according to the idea of paying equal attention to speed, comfort and safety.

With such a small request, this luxury yacht has undergone more than 1 year of comprehensive and in-depth transformation of the original factory, and this luxury yacht has finally taken on a new look, and has been named Aries by Liu Ruoyi - this is the name of the first successful commercial mobile processor designed by MIPS.

In terms of enhanced cruising performance, this newborn Aries has a top speed of up to 65 knots after replacing the more powerful and powerful 20,000-horsepower Rolls-Royce gas turbine unit according to Liu Ruoyi's requirements, which has exceeded the speed of most current torpedoes!

It really has the speed of flying on the surface of the sea!

Coupled with a cruising range of more than 6,500 nautical miles at an economic cruising speed when the fuel tank is fully loaded, and more than 500 square meters with a 100KW solar electric propulsion assistance system, Aries is fully equipped with the ability to sail across the ocean without transit, even in the vast Pacific Ocean, it can pass directly without refueling!

In terms of safety, in addition to not being able to install lethal weapons, the safety precautions of this luxury yacht are almost to the extreme.

Needless to say, all kinds of radar, sonar, and other detection facilities, at least 100 kilometers of sea threats, more than 300 kilometers of air threats can not escape the scanning and tracking of these facilities!

The latest model of weather radar installed on it can even detect the traces of typhoons or hurricanes within hundreds of kilometers! The design of up to 10 levels of wind resistance also greatly enhances Aries' ability to resist harsh weather.

As for the re-enhanced security on the boat, the composite armor on the main compartment and the fuel tank, power compartment and other vital points of the new tank with anti-rocket measures on the basis of the original bulletproof!

Coupled with the bulletproof glass armor high-pressure water cannon that is enough to overturn the dinghy and the high-decibel directional infrasonic waves on both sides, it has a powerful soft killing ability within 30 meters, although it will not make people fatal with one hit, but it is impossible for ordinary runabouts to get close to Aries.

Even if the powerful water cannon can't overturn the speedboat for a while, the high-decibel directional infrasonic weapon is aimed in the direction of the speedboat, which is enough for the pirates on the speedboat to start trying to bleed from the mouth and nose and crack the eardrum within 30 meters.

With the Aries composite defensive armor capable of defending against a variety of shoulder-borne/anti-tank rocket launcher attacks, and torpedoes' speed, few pirate speedboats can keep up with this speed. Coupled with close precautions, Liu Ruoyi's Aries is not far off, if not the safest private luxury yacht in the world.

It can be said that if it were not for the interception of regular warships or fighter jets, there would have been basically nothing on the surface of the sea that could threaten the yacht.

When the Aries yacht was delivered in Xiangjiang, Zhao Shaodong, who boarded the Aries for the first time, checked the parameters, and his first thought was to drive the Aries to Somali waters, ready to try the Somali pirates!

Therefore, at the beginning of 2016, when Liu Ruoyi's Aries finally completed the transformation and was sent to Xiangjiang to prepare for a round-the-world trip, the news had just been released, and Zhao Shaodong, who was promoting the New Year activities of Aurora Media, decisively let go of the business in his hand and entrusted all the affairs to him, cheekily pestering to join the Aries "Globe Travel Group"!

And after hearing that Zhao Shaodong was the first to sign up for this "tour group", Chu Luo, who is a mining tycoon, almost did not hesitate to throw the matter to his partner Leckie, and rushed back from Australia by his own private jet overnight!

This road is high and long, although Liu Ruoyi didn't say anything, but Zhao Shaodong is going, Chu Luo will definitely not look at it indifferently.

Seeing these two people like this, Liu Ruoyi knew in her heart but smiled bitterly that she couldn't do it, so she could only expand the scale of the "global tour group" in disguise, turning one of her own private trips into a "welfare" for the executives of its related companies to incentive, so that the executives with outstanding performance in its related companies drew out more than a dozen people, and at the same time called Liu Ruonan, the "younger brother" of this life, to form a real "global tour group", and started the maiden voyage of Aries from Xiangjiang.

This is a journey around the world, although Aries is very fast, but just look at the preliminary arrangement, how to say that the journey of nearly 50,000 kilometers will be more than a month at the shortest, and the time will not be sure to end, there are many interesting places along the way, if Liu Ruoyi wants to stay in one place for one or two more days to see the local customs, it may not be able to turn down in two months.

However, pulling this group of executives, if it takes a long time, Liu Ruoyi's other executives may not be happy, how many things are waiting to be done, almost a quarter of the executives above the vice president have been dispatched this time, and it is certainly not good for work for a long time.

Although in Aries, satellite communication lines are opened, and these executives can handle some urgent matters through the Internet every day, after all, some tasks can only be solved by face-to-face communication.

Therefore, in Liu Ruoyi's plan, the time of this trip is probably set between 30 and 40 days, and many times in the middle will be on the sea, anyway, the worst cabins on the Aries yacht are at the level of a single executive suite, and even the chef is a complete set of Chinese and Western chef configurations, either Chinese special chef or Western Michelin-level chef, there are at least hundreds of Chinese and Western main dishes for everyone to choose in turn every week, and everyone will definitely not be too lonely on the way.

According to the preliminary port plan, the sea voyage will take about two days at most, and there will be time to go ashore to rest and replay and buy food, which is much more comfortable than a large luxury cruise ship.

...

When the big boss watched the sunset, he naturally didn't bother without opening his eyes.

In fact, people who are qualified to go to Aries are very consciously giving up the observation deck on the top floor to the big boss, except for Zhao Dashao, Chu Dashao and the current Liu Ershao, only Liu Ruoyi's personal assistant Fu Yunhui is qualified to go to the observation deck on the top floor of Aries.

Liu Ruonan, who got the Eagle green card at the end of last year and took over the chairmanship of West Coast Capital, has long since faded from his childishness, and has obtained a master's degree from the Wharton School and a doctorate from Harvard.

At present, Liu Ruoyi's two most important companies in North America are the financial giant West Coast Capital Consortium and its Lehman Brothers, and the other is an IT conglomerate led by Sun Mobile Computing and supplemented by MOTO Mobile.

The sales of Sun Mobile Computing mobile phone processors exceeded 150 million pieces, of which 100 million were shipped by MOTO Mobile, and with excellent performance, MOTO Mobile sales revenue has exceeded 50 billion US dollars. Sun Mobile Computing, on the other hand, relied on four major businesses: mobile phone processors, servers, system software business and MIPS high-performance processors, with revenue exceeding US$80 billion.

With the two varieties of MIPS64 low-power servers and SPARC high-performance servers, the revenue of Sun Mobile Computing in the global server market has surpassed IBM, and with the accurate grasp of the demand for low-power and low-cost servers in the IDC cloud server market, MIPS64 servers have completely overwhelmed the X86 and PowerPC series servers in this market and become the mainstream, making MIPS64 servers have an unprecedented market share of more than 25%!

In the field of SPARC servers, Sun Mobile Computing only pushes the mid-to-high-end high-performance series, and uses its own strength to design super servers from 4 to 128 channels on the new generation processors of the SPARC Open Alliance, but also "borrows" the streamlined supercomputing ideas of IBM and Shenwei to launch affordable SPARC supercomputing, which has impacted IBM's business in a market of millions to tens of millions of dollars.

After changing the way of thinking, the R&D manpower and the main production line gradually transferred to the Asia-Pacific region, the cost of Sun Mobile Computing has a significant advantage over IBM, so that the same performance of the product has a price advantage of more than 5% to 10%, if this price advantage is placed on Shenwei, in the international market competition, especially in Europe and the United States, of course, there is no use for birds, but Sun Mobile Computing itself has a brand and reputation that is not weak with IBM, and this cost advantage has become a magic weapon for victory.

What's more, whether these high-performance streamlined supercomputers or super servers, the production lines for the European and American markets are still located in North America, which makes IBM simply bitter.

Although IBM also proposed the OpenPOWER Alliance open plan last year, this step is significantly later than Sun Mobile Computing's earlier opening of the SPARC architecture, which has gathered a strong downstream compatible server and software provider through the SPARC Alliance in recent years, and has taken the lead in the Solaris and high-performance Linux server application market, squeezing high-performance X86 servers to the end.

On the pure cloud Linux server, the low-power and low-cost MIPS64 server will kill X86 to the ground, if it is not for the fact that there are many servers that need to use Windows system at the enterprise department level, the X86 server should be dead.

This has affected AMD and Intel both X86 processor manufacturers have been affected a lot, especially AMD is even worse, falling into the quagmire of losses, and is now accepting the acquisition plan of Sun Mobile Computing, and now the senior management of Sun Mobile Computing has taken a fancy to AMD's GPU technology, if AMD is won, it will give up the X86 server processor business, and work X86 desktop processors and GPUs.

Liu Ruoyi remembers that NVIDIA has shone in the future AI era, so she fully supports Sun Mobile Computing's wave of acquisitions and strategic plans.

Now Sun Mobile Computing is not short of money, no shortage of people, no shortage of market, and even foundry has a good partner, far more than AMD's tyrant friend - although this oil tycoon who was pit is still struggling on GF, but the industry has long been clear that the semiconductor foundry industry has entered the era of Zhongxin International and TMS, and other semiconductor manufacturers have become embellishment.

If you can swallow AMD, Intel is obviously the saddest one, although according to the plan of Sun Mobile Computing is to fade out of the X86 server field, but this field is not AMD's dish, and desktop processors are Intel's lifeblood, so as soon as the acquisition proposal of Sun Mobile Computing came out, Intel began to desperately obstruct the lobbying, and threatened to cancel the cross-licensing of X86 patents - legally speaking, there is nothing wrong with Intel's statement, when the original cross-licensing, the two parties agreed that once the ownership of AMD or Intel and the two companies changed, whether it was a merger, acquisition or investment, the license agreement will be automatically terminated.

In the face of Intel's threat, Sun Mobile Computing said that if the cross-licensing is canceled or the future patent cross-licensing negotiation is refused, then Sun Mobile Computing will rather stop the production of AMD desktop processors and also initiate a patent lawsuit, X86 architecture has developed to this day, AMD does not have nothing in its hands, and even in the hands of moto mobile there are some patents that are X86 patents used, you must know that in the 80s and 90s, MOTO is the real big brother in the semiconductor industry!

How this drama will end in the future, no one knows now. Anyway, there will be no results in the short term.

If Sun Mobile Computing can really win the X86 desktop processor and GPU admission ticket as it wishes, it is obvious that the future will really enter the sunny road of a new giant. Whether it is a server, desktop PC or mobile terminal in the three major markets, Sun Mobile Computing has a fairly strong capital. Especially now backed by a newly rising consortium like West Coast Capital, it is naturally not afraid of market competition in the future.

...

And such a huge business empire, Liu Ruoyi wants to hand it over to Liu Ruonan in the future! It can be said that in order to "return" the original owner of this body, Liu Ruoyi has already paid half of the country.

Of course, this is also Liu Ruonan's own competitiveness, after stepping into Gimhae University, he was able to calm down and study, no matter how successful the "sister" was, he did not have the idea of sitting and waiting for death, but with a mentality of studying hard to help his "sister", with the help of Liu Ruoyi, he won a top degree, and more importantly, opened his own cognition, and then worked silently as an industry analyst in West Coast Capital for a few years before he began to work in management.

Tony Cai's gang is of course not what it used to be now, except for Liu Ruoyi, in fact, other people are not in the eyes, so many years of following Liu Ruoyi's operation, Tony Cai's net worth has snowballed to a huge wealth of tens of billions of dollars.

Fortunately, the longer he followed Liu Ruoyi's operation, the more Tony Cai was in awe of Liu Ruoyi, so Tony Cai himself did not have much resistance to handing over the position of chairman.

If he is now independent, he naturally has this capital, but where is it so refreshing to drink soup with Liu Ruoyi!

The oil bull market, the subprime mortgage crisis, and the European debt crisis, Liu Ruoyi simply saw through the trend like a god, making Tony Cai kill all sides in the financial market and futures market like a money-grabbing man, leaving such a thick "thigh", unless Tony Cai is stupid.

Now West Coast Capital continues to maintain a very low-key style, never accepting interviews and announcing revenues, and does not seek to go public, hiding aside.

But occasionally, such as the acquisition of Lehman Brothers, such as the acquisition of Sun Mobile Computing and MOTO Mobile, these "small moves" will inevitably leave a strong footprint on Wall Street for West Coast Capital.

...

Thinking about her heart, the sunset had sunk into the sea by accident, and there was only some afterglow left in the sky, so Liu Ruoyi smiled bitterly.

Why do you want to do this, now is your leisure time, it's not bad for a month, and the sky outside can't fall!

With the power of finance and industry in his hands now, it is no longer something that can be easily shaken by a certain consortium, even if it is the so-called four giants of the Goryeo sticks, the six major chaebols of the Oriental dwarfs, or the top ten conglomerates in North America.

The world, although it is still a little stubbornly moving forward according to the original track, has finally begun to be forcibly reversed under its own powerful "butterfly wings".

Different semiconductor rivers and lakes have made the mainland, which was originally the largest semiconductor import buyer in that time and space, now actually achieve a state of import and export balance - thanks to AMS's massive memory exports, which has completely offset the import demand for processors, coupled with the strong Xiangjiang-Pearl River Delta-Yangtze River Delta semiconductor industrial belt pulled up by Liu Ruoyi, it can even be said that it has been able to complete the self-sufficiency in the semiconductor ecological chain!

Seeing the sea and sky in the distance gradually become one color, Liu Ruoyi stood up, stretched out her arms, faced the wind, and closed her eyes.

This world is my world after all!
