Chapter 675: The Big Three

……

Compared with Zuckerberg, who is still young, Larry Page and Jeff Bezos are undoubtedly much more sophisticated. After the two looked at each other, the latter spoke: "I know that Mr. Wang has many companies. Taoyuan Holdings, Wharf Holdings, Times Holdings, Matrix Group and GCA Fund are involved in more than 40 industries such as agriculture and animal husbandry, tourism, catering, Internet, jewelry, and finance. Moreover, under the wise leadership of Mr. Wang, they have all developed very well. Unfortunately, their current business is more limited to the Chinese market, and their share of the world market is very low or even none. ”

"However, I also believe that with Mr. Wang's ambition and strength, it is a matter of course to enter the international market. However, the international market is different from Huaxia, where Mr. Wang does not have a home field advantage, and if he wants to develop and grow in a completely unfamiliar environment, in addition to facing the competition of local forces, he will also face the pressure of the international industry, and it will be very difficult for him to expand his business. But... If Mr. Wang is willing to work with us, we will use the relationships and networks of Amazon, Google and Facebook to help Mr. Wang's companies grow. ”

"For example?" Wang Zheng said indifferently.

He has long passed the time when he can be promised, and he can easily be impressed. This is true even for giants like Google, Amazon and Facebook.

"For example, it will be easier for Ruihui Pharmaceutical, for example, Shennong Technology to enter the U.S. market. Jeff Bezos said.

"It's easier for me to enter the U.S. market, but Pfizer...?"

Wang Zheng unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mr. Bezos won't be joking with me, right?"

Pfizer is one of the world's top three biopharmaceutical giants, and according to the figures released for the third quarter of this year, it is second only to its counterpart 'Johnson & Johnson' in the United States in terms of sales!

"I'm never kidding! In fact, the world's pharmaceutical giants want to cooperate with the miracle pesticide industry, which has the 'medicine of life'. It's just that Mr. Wang doesn't understand. After a pause, "If Mr. Wang doesn't believe it, he might as well look to the left." The middle-aged man in the blue suit was Billy McGuire, the global CEO of Pfizer, and he was a proud guy who wouldn't have done it himself if it wasn't for something too important. ”

As if noticing Wang Zheng's eyes, Billy McGuire, who was talking to a friend next to him, turned his head and saw Wang Zheng, and quickly raised his wine glass and gestured with a smile.

Wang Zheng returned the salute as usual, and then twisted his head back.

"With Mr. Wang's understanding, I don't need to introduce who those people standing next to him are, right?" said Jeff Bezos.

Wang Zheng nodded, the controller of Johnson & Johnson, Roche, and Gramssock, of course, he is no stranger.

"Just looking at so many pharmaceutical giants coming up at this time, you can understand the attraction of the 'life elixir' in Mr. Wang's hand to them. Therefore, as long as Mr. Wang is willing, it is not difficult to invest or even occupy a majority of the shares. And the three of us can also help lobby the U.S. Department of Commerce and Congress!"

After listening, Wang Zheng, who was silent for a moment, said lightly.

"With all due respect, I'm more curious that since Mr. Bezos is optimistic about the future of artificial intelligence and wants to invest in Shennong Technology. So why not take Amazon out there? I'm more interested in Amazon than Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Roche. Wang Zheng smiled.

Jeff Bezos froze when he heard this. But he soon calmed down: "Because although I am interested in artificial intelligence, I am more just investing to make money." Amazon's main business is e-commerce, and the impact of artificial intelligence on us is not as direct as the impact of 'life medicine' on Ruihui and Roche. After a pause, Bezos's eyes flashed, "However, if Mr. Wang is really interested in Amazon, I am willing to facilitate your investment in Amazon." ”

Today, Amazon's total market capitalization on the NASDAQ is $358.1 billion. He never believes that Wang Zheng can get $150 billion to control it. If it is just an investment, the investment of the world's top richest man will not only increase investors' confidence in Amazon's stock price, but also push up Amazon's stock price, and then raise his net worth. In that case, why wouldn't Jeff Bezos do it?

What's more, once Wang Zheng became a shareholder of Amazon, the two sides became a cooperative relationship. In a sense, they are friends. Since he is a friend, if he invests in Shennong Technology again, the difficulty will undoubtedly be much smaller than now.

"Mr. Wang, Google's rate of return is well-known in the investment community, and if you want to invest, I am willing to contribute to it. ”

"Our Facebook stock price is on the rise, and if Mr. Wang invests now, the return will definitely satisfy you!"

Neither Larry Page nor Zuckerberg are fools, and Jeff Bezos can think of anything he can think of.

But the opportunity to invest in Google, Facebook and Amazon was somewhat tempting to him. But he also understands that the golden period of investing in these three companies has long passed. Although, in terms of ROI, they are still high-quality stocks, Wang Zheng has more companies with returns that outperform them that are worth investing in.

Of course, this is from an investment point of view. Now Wang Zheng doesn't want to invest in the stock market. Instead, they are acquired outright, or the money is invested in the real industry.

"I'm very interested in all three companies. But I myself have limited funds. Therefore, after a comprehensive consideration, we can make a final decision!" Wang Zheng pretended to think for a moment and then said.

"No problem. It just so happens that we are coming to China this time, and we are going to stay for a few days. Jeff Bezos said.

"That's right. I've been admiring Mr. Wang's Taoyuan Villa for a long time!" said Larry Page.

"Welcome to Taoyuan Villa!"

After a pause, Wang Zheng said again, "Three, let's talk about this here today." As the host of today's banquet, I also want to greet the other guests!"

"Mr. Wang, please!"

Zuckerberg said.

"Three, farewell!"

After the words fell, and after nodding his head, Wang Zheng turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Zuckerberg couldn't help frowning and asked, "Do you think he can accept our investment?"

"Mr. Bezos, what do you think?" said Larry Page.

Looking at the eyes of the two, Jeff Bezos slowly shook his head.

"From his attitude just now, it has been revealed that there is basically no hope for our investment. ”

"Why? Isn't he interested in the U.S. market?" Zuckerberg couldn't help but say.

"Of course he's interested in the U.S. market. But now, neither the 'artificial intelligence operating system' nor the consumer electronics products that carry this new operating system have really entered the stage of industrial production. According to the external investigation of Shennong Technology, as well as our own analysis, it will take at least two to three years for them to complete this process. In addition, it will take one to two years to occupy the Chinese market. It will take another two to three years to expand production capacity and enter the international market. So, by the time they actually started thinking about the U.S. market, it was five years later. With a five-year buffer time, Wang Zheng is certainly not in a hurry now. Moreover, it does not reflect the value of Shennong Technology now. How could he possibly accept our capital injection when there was no shortage of funds?"

"So, during the negotiation just now, Mr. Bezos deliberately added Pfizer?" said Larry Page.

"That's right!" Jeff Bezos nodded.

"Mr. Bezos, the strength of the three of us is strong. But it did not affect the strength of Ruihui. Zuckerberg frowned slightly.

"I'm not really trying to convince Ruihui to merge with Shen Pesticide Industry. I just want to use it for an experiment. Speaking of this, Jeff Bezos's tone added a hint of exclamation, "You have also seen the results of the experiment. Although our Mr. Wang does have some interest in Ruihui. But apparently his loyalty and desire to control Shennong Technology far outweighs this interest. ”

"So, we're on our own when it comes to artificial intelligence?" said Larry Page with a narrowing of his eyes after a moment of silence.

"At least for now, that's all it can be. It's just that we can't get in touch with the highest scientific and technological achievements on artificial intelligence within the 'Shennong Research Institute', and we are afraid that it will be difficult to surpass them in this regard by relying solely on the basic knowledge in the professional textbooks of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Shennong Academy. Jeff Bezos said.

"Two. We don't have to surpass them. After attracting the attention of the two, Zuckerberg kept talking, "Judging from the current situation, the high-end chips developed by Shennong Technology have obviously been affected by the export restrictions of the Chinese government. As a result, they will only be able to sell in the U.S. and other countries in the U.S. and other countries with worse performance from the previous generation. So it's enough for us to be better than their first generation. ”

Larry Page and Jeff Bezos looked at each other and couldn't help but praise: "That's a brilliant idea." Why didn't we think of it in the first place?"

"Because you don't have a Chinese wife. Otherwise, you must know that there was a very famous story in ancient China called 'Tian Ji Horse Racing'!" Zuckerberg laughed.

Larry Page and Jeff Bezos nodded at the same time and smiled.

"It seems that the three of us need to work together on the labor side!" said Larry Page.

"It's better to pull Microsoft, Intel and AMD, I want to face Shennong Technology's leapfrog progress in software and hardware, they are more intersecting than us. Moreover, they have more experience in operating system and CPU development than we do!" said Jeff Bezos.

"Do we need to go back to the U.S. right now?" Zuckerberg said.

"No, you don't. Even if it is a cooperation, it cannot be completed in a short period of time. And how to cooperate, how to cooperate, and how to cooperate? It also takes time to negotiate. Jeff Bezos paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the back of Wang Zheng, who was surrounded by global pharmaceutical giants in the distance, "I'm still very interested in this Mr. Wang." It's a rare opportunity to talk to him face-to-face. ”

Hearing his words, Larry Page and Zuckerberg nodded in agreement.
