Chapter 678 Shennong Research Institute

……

"Guys, it's almost time. Let's get down to business first!"

At this moment, Ma Yun, who had not spoken much before, stood up.

"That's right! I have been fascinated by Mr. Wang's famous 'Shennong Research Institute' for a long time, and this is a rare opportunity, so I must not delay!"

Li Yanhong followed and stood up.

Today's theme is to visit the 'Shennong Research Institute' under the leadership of Wang Zheng, the 'landlord', and the previous agreement is more of a 'giveaway' before the dinner. However, obviously, it is also the decision of everyone to let Wang Zheng and Shennong Technology, who have the big killer weapon of 'artificial intelligence', express their interests in terms of interests.

At the suggestion of the two, everyone stood up one after another. Except for Yang Yuanqing, who frowned tightly, most of the other people present looked relaxed, talking and laughing.

"Brother, have you ever thought about acquiring 'Lenovo'?"

After getting into the same car as Ma Yun, the other party asked.

"Acquire Lenovo?"

The acquisition of the world's largest PC manufacturer will not only be able to obtain the other party's talents, technical reserves and sales channels, but most importantly, it will be able to obtain the production capacity of the other party, so that Shennong Technology can occupy the market as soon as possible, which is a double thing! Moreover, I think the shareholders of Lenovo also very much hope to be able to climb the express train in the era of artificial intelligence, and by the way, make their investment value-added. ”

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "The benefits of acquiring Lenovo are indeed many. 'Artificial intelligence' is indeed a good thing enough to make the other party comply. However, brother, you should understand that in this world, in the vast majority of cases, people always have the stubbornness of 'not crying when you don't see the coffin'. In the current situation, if I propose to acquire Lenovo, even if the other party agrees, I will have to pay the same amount of money as Lenovo, or the same shares of Shennong Technology! For the former, I will pay nearly $10 billion in funds, and for the latter, I may lose nearly half of the equity of Shennong Technology. Either way, it seems to me to be expensive. In contrast, I prefer to wait until hardware products such as 'Taoyuan laptops', 'workstations' and 'servers' are on the market, so that they can recognize the reality before acquiring them. ”

"Now that the sales volume of the global PC market continues to decline, Lenovo is having a hard time, and now its market value has fallen to the extent that it is only 58 billion Hong Kong dollars. If you want to buy it, the price is not too big. If you wait until everything you say appears, it will be at least two to three years later, and in two to three years, how valuable Lenovo's brand will be is a question mark. Ma Yun said after a moment of silence.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but think silently.

Although Lenovo has been going downhill lately. However, this computer company, which acquired the PC business of IBM and Motorola, has always been the representative and benchmark of private enterprises after the reform and opening up. In terms of brand influence, it is definitely not inferior to Huawei, Xiaomi, and Haier. If it can be bagged, it will definitely be a huge booster for the development of Shennong Technology.

"Brother Ma, you won't accept Yang Yuanqing's benefits, will you?, so hard to sell to me?" Wang Zheng suddenly said in a joking tone.

After glancing at him, Ma Yun shook his head, "It's not enough to receive the benefits." I just don't want to see an old and well-known IT company decline like this!"

nodded clearly, and after a moment of silence, "I'll let Deng Ziqing ask, if their request is not too much." Acquisitions are nothing. However, you know, Lenovo's major shareholder is the Chinese ~ Academy of Sciences, and you can't get it if you have money!"

"Hehe, brother, don't jump to conclusions. Now is not what it used to be, politics and economics can be discussed separately. Especially now that No. 1 is in power!"

"I hope so!"

Wang Zheng smiled and did not continue the topic.

"Brother Ma, are you interested in investing in infrastructure?"

"Infrastructure?"

"Hmm!" Wang Zheng nodded, "Defond Construction has received contracts for the construction of four 2,500-kilometer expressways in Annam, Indonesia, Siam, Nanzhang and Khmer, and has the right to operate them for 50 years after completion. If the elder brother is interested, you can invest in it. ”

"2,500 kilometers of highway project?!" Ma Yun's pupils shrank, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. "I didn't expect my brother to have such a deep network in Nanyang? Is it any wonder that President 'Mesati' personally rushed to Chang'an yesterday to attend the opening ceremony of Shennong Academy?"

Wang Zheng smiled faintly, "It's also a coincidence!"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Ma Yun didn't ask too much. After all, no matter how close a friend is, there is privacy that cannot be touched.

"What is the total cost of these 2,500 kilometers of highways?"

"Two-way six-lane, counting the bridge across the Mekong River, the total cost is 320 billion Chinese dollars!"

"The cost of one kilometer is 128 million, which is not an exaggeration. But isn't it a bit of a waste to have six lanes in both directions?"

"These expressways are the backbone of the connection between China and the Indochina Peninsula, and once opened, the two markets will truly merge into one, and their logistics will be as busy as possible. Therefore, six lanes is not an exaggeration, it just takes into account the amount of advance!" Wang Zheng said.

Ma Yun thought for a moment, "How long is the construction period?"

"Five years!"

"In a hurry!" Ma Yun frowned.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take on these gold projects. However, although the construction period was a bit rushed, it was not difficult to complete the project on time if the construction was started at a higher time. ”

"That's why you took them out to raise money?" Ma Yun laughed.

"Yes!" Wang Zheng showed a wry smile on his face, "This year, the number of urban complexes that Wharf Real Estate has started construction has reached 32, and the number of residential projects started by Greentown Real Estate is as many as 137, and the total annual investment of these two investments alone is no less than 120 billion Chinese dollars." Just trying to maintain them has drained my funds and loans. Therefore, Nanyang's infrastructure projects have to be financed!"

His words are half-truthful. Wharf Real Estate and Greentown Real Estate are certainly big consumers of funds, but since the black gold of the 'Golden Triangle' has been eaten, the financial embarrassment has been greatly alleviated. The key reason why we want to bring in the horse transport is that the amount of capital required for ASEAN's infrastructure construction is too large. If you want to achieve the goal of 'building roads before you want to get rich', you must attract a huge amount of money to come in. And Huaxia, which is rich in funds, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, both parties benefit from such cooperation. In addition, Wang Zheng's identity and bloodline also made him more inclined to benefit China rather than the United States and the West.

After nodding clearly, looking at Wang Zheng, Ma Yun, who was smiling, also sighed with some emotion: "Brother, your courage is really admirable, in today's country, 120 billion yuan a year is spent on real estate, and state-owned enterprises dare not do this!"

"My brother is overrated. From the announcement of the 'Wharf Plaza' project in Yangcheng to the present, I don't know how many times I have been scolded by the media for being 'stupid and bold', and now the whole country, and even the world, I don't know how many people are waiting to see my jokes!" Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"It's just a group of short-sighted people who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour!" After shaking his head slightly disdainfully, "The world envies our glamorousness, but I don't know how many times we have been ridiculed, ridiculed, incomprehensible, and even failed behind the scenes!"

Wang Zheng nodded. Although his success is more dependent on the 'Shennong system', and his understanding of struggle is not as profound as that of Ma Yun, it is not easy to live along the way.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these bad things. Let's talk about investing. I'm very interested in the 'highway' project just now. However, you also know that most of my wealth is shares in Alibaba and Alipay, and I can't allocate as much money as you. So, I can invest up to 5 billion Huaxia coins in this project. ”

"5 billion is already a lot!" Wang Zheng nodded, and after a pause, "However, Brother Ma can promote it for me within the Jiangnan Association, and anyone who is interested in investing can participate!"

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why are you so generous this time? Aren't you afraid that there will be too many people and share your profits?"

"Who told me that I have limited funds!" Wang Zheng said with a wry smile.

"Well, since you said so, then I'll promote it for you. I think many people in the Jiangnan Club will be interested!" Ma Yun nodded.

"Then thank you brother for your help!"

"You're welcome!"

While the two were talking, the car had already driven out of Taoyuan Villa, along the highway that had become more open and flat after two repairs, and entered the city of Hanzhong along the national highway. More precisely, it should be Hanzhong High-tech Economic Development Zone. Before the completion of the newly built research base in Liuba County, at least the 'Shennong Research Institute' on the surface will stay here for two years.

Because it used the old buildings that had been built in the Hanzhong High-tech Economic Development Zone at the beginning, the 'Shennong Research Institute', which has become famous in the country and even the world, is very ordinary in the eyes of outsiders.

A two-meter-high walled interior, a front yard of nearly 500 square meters, plus a nine-story ordinary office building in the middle, and a parking lot of about 300 square meters rebuilt in the back, are the entire territory of the 'Shennong Research Institute'.

Such a 'shabby' scene, not to mention compared with Microsoft, Alibaba, and Baidu, is even an ordinary medium-sized enterprise office building is stronger than here.

Therefore, after seeing the situation in front of them, the bigwigs of high-tech companies who have come down from the top of the ladder wonder if they have come to the wrong place.

"Brother Wang, is this your 'Shennong Research Institute'?" Ren Zhengfei couldn't help but say.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Because the new office area in Liuba County has not yet been built, it will be here for a while!

"Why aren't there any guards here?" asked Ma Yun after looking around.

"The guards are all in the building!"

After the words fell, Wang Zheng crossed the hardened road planted with holly on both sides and came to the door behind the office building. After stepping on the five steps, about 1.2 meters, under the eaves that protrude outwards about 10 square meters, there is an entrance door with a width of 1.8 meters and a height of 2.2 meters. The entrance door looks like ordinary tempered glass. Standing in the doorway, you can clearly see the communication room and the guardhouse inside.

"Tick...!"

With a crisp chime, a young man's head about the size of a TV and outlined with blue lines and color blocks, which was somewhat similar to Wang Zheng, suddenly appeared on the originally transparent tempered glass.

"Sir, welcome to the 'Shennong Research Institute'!"

Wang Zheng nodded, "Taoyuan, open the door!"

"Yes, sir, however, according to the rules of the Academy, the person behind you must be registered with the Institute and confirmed that they are not dangerous persons before entering. ”

This house rule was formulated by Wang Zheng himself, of course he knows it.

After saying yes, he turned around, "Please cooperate, line up, and enter one by one." ”

Whether it was out of curiosity or personal quality, everyone consciously lined up according to Wang Zheng's requirements.

"Brother Wang, I came here last time, do I still need to register?"

"When my brother came, our Taoyuan artificial intelligence had not yet been successfully developed, so this time I have to trouble you to arrange it again. ”

Ma Yun nodded, but didn't say much. He was already in front, but this time he naturally stood first. And just as he was standing, two blue beams of light suddenly shot out from the two corners of the tempered glass door, and after sweeping the horse from head to toe, the originally closed glass door slowly opened to both sides.

"Mr. Ma Yun, welcome to visit the 'Shennong Research Institute', please come in!"

Looking at Ma Yun's surprised appearance, Wang Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to point inside. Ma Yun, who came back to his senses, did not enter the door but walked to Wang Zheng's side, "That's fine?"

Wang Zheng nodded, "Taoyuan is also networked, as long as you get your appearance and body data, you can naturally find matching information from the Internet." ”

"Would that allow it to pull up my information?" said Ma Yun with interest.

"Of course... Taoyuan, call up Mr. Ma's information. ”

"Didi!"

After two rings, the transparent part of the original tempered glass near the door appeared, and clear photos of horse luck appeared, and of course, a large section of information. There are not only family information, but also more detailed information about his business.

"This is much richer than what is collected on Baidu Encyclopedia and Google!"

While Ma Yun was still watching, Li Yanhong, who came over, couldn't help but say after a rough sweep.

"The artificial intelligence system 'Taoyuan' based on the '8nm 12-core CPU' and more optimized algorithms has a speed of 150 million operations per second. It can easily grab every piece of information about Ma Lao Ge from the Internet, and logically delete, combine and arrange it to form a complete data!"

"With a speed of 150 million operations per second, this is probably second only to Shenwei, Tianhe-2, Switzerland's Deente and the American Titan among the world's supercomputers!"

Huawei also has its own supercomputer, but its performance can only rank around 20 in the world. The performance gap with Taoyuan is not small.

Wang Zheng smiled and did not continue the topic. After seeing that everyone was entered into the system by 'Taoyuan', he said: "Let's go, there are more exciting things waiting for you inside!"

"After reading the information just now, I found that I really have no secrets in front of you!" Ma Yun, who had caught up, couldn't help but complain.

"Yes! The information collection capabilities of your 'Taoyuan Artificial Intelligence System' can catch up with the central ~ central intelligence ~ newspaper bureau in the United States!" Li Yanhong also said.

"It's not that exaggerated. No matter how strong 'Taoyuan' is, you can only search for the information available on the Internet. Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled.

It was through the newspaper that the Swiss writer Bertord Jacob analyzed the organizational structure and defense secrets of the German army during World War II. The news on the Internet is much richer now than in the newspapers of the Second World War. ”

Hearing this, after glancing sideways at Yang Yuanqing, who was speaking, Wang Zheng said indifferently: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, although 'Taoyuan' is an artificial intelligence, its logical analysis and summary ability is far from the level of Bertord Jacob." After a pause, guarding dozens of business giants, Wang Zheng, who didn't want the atmosphere to be too stiff, changed his words, "Okay, everyone." The laboratory is a dust-free space, so please go to the locker room on the first floor and follow the instructions from 'Taoyuan' to change your clothes and shoes. ”

"Everyone, hurry up for now! it's not early, I don't want to miss my chance to have lunch!" Ma Yun said in a loud voice, and walked towards the room next to the locker room.

The people who can be here are naturally not fools, and the faint hostility in Yang Yuanqing's words can be heard by everyone, and they naturally know why. Therefore, after getting the benefits they wanted, everyone who had the heart to stay out of the matter nodded one after another. They talked and laughed with their acquaintances, and walked into the locker room with Ma Yun.

"Mr. Yang, please!" Wang Zheng smiled indifferently.

"Thank you!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, as if he was not affected in the slightest and walked in behind everyone.

Looking at his back, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't say anything more. Enter the locker room and change into white dust suits with everyone. Then with the people who covered most of their bodies and only showed a pair of eyes, they took the elevator next to them to the top floor, which is the ninth floor.

"The first floor is the security room, locker room and office, the second floor is the dining room, and the third floor is the staff rest area. The fourth floor is the hangar where the main body of 'Taoyuan Artificial Intelligence' is placed. The fifth to ninth floors are for research on 'artificial intelligence', 'biotechnology', 'basic materials', and 'comprehensive research areas'. ”

After the words, the elevator door also opened just right. Six elevators are enough to send more than 30 people to the ninth floor at the same time. These curious eyes were greeted by the ceiling lamps in the corridors and the thick frosted glass around them, which could not see the inside clearly.

"Taoyuan, remove the protective color outside!"

"Yes, sir!"

With the standard Mandarin, in an instant, the originally blurry floor-to-ceiling glass became clear and transparent. Everything inside is also presented to everyone.
