Chapter 390: Silver Charm Project
Xu Teng has repeatedly stressed that the acquisitions of the Huayin consortium and other companies in Europe do not have any special plans, but are just business, and if there are Europeans who think that this is a well-established and rigorous plan and conspiracy, they are really conspiracy theorists living in the Cold War era. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Here's the problem...... This is truly the most ambitious economic plan ever made.
Xu Teng made this plan with his own hands.
The reason why he wants to engage in Huateng Seiko Group is indeed because there are too many problems and disadvantages in the entire industrial infrastructure in China, and it is difficult to reverse it in a short time.
Taking advantage of this phase of the worst of the European economy, if the problem can be solved with money, it will certainly be the best option.
Take Sweden's Warwick Group as an example, from 1913 to establish the factory, the earliest is to do gears, in the field of machine tools and bearings, gears for more than 100 years, World War I and World War II have provided it with a very good opportunity for development, after World War II is the world's top locomotive bearings, gear manufacturers and Europe's first-class forging machine tool manufacturers, especially in the field of medium-sized hydraulic die forging and hydraulic systems, mechanical transmission systems on behalf of Sweden's first-class level.
After so many years of theoretical application and industrial data accumulation, the structural drawings of various forging models, what is the theoretical basis of these industrial designs, and why are they designed in this way...... That's what the country really wants to buy.
There are a lot of super-large hydraulic presses of more than 40,000 tons in China, but they are still in the exploration stage of the early stage of industrialization in terms of experience accumulation and theoretical accumulation.
For example, the turbine disc of an aero engine is also a basic industrial device, and the equipment is available, but it can't be forged.
Theory, Materials, Processes, Experience, Principles, Talents...... If China's basic industry level wants to develop to the level of old Europe, this is the six major ghost gates, and it is not possible to miss any of them.
From 2002 to 2012, Huayin Consortium developed nine major industrial group companies, including Huateng Electronics, Huateng Hi-Tech, Huateng Automobile, Huateng Heavy Industry, Huateng Seiko, Sino Soar Group, Zhongkong Group, Yongtai Chemical and Shenzhou Electric.
From 2005 to 2012, the nine major industrial groups joined forces with their respective supporting suppliers, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, including some outstanding private enterprises in China, and acquired a total of 314 pumps, valves, chains, gears and shafts in Europe...... Most of the basic industrial device enterprises are medium-sized supporting enterprises between the global TOP30-100 in various fields.
For these mergers and acquisitions, the Huayin Consortium has registered more than 40 private equity funds overseas, which are fully responsible for negotiations, international public relations, and co-investment, and provide a large amount of financing for the nine major industrial groups and these central enterprises, local state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and listed companies.
To disguise his real plans, Mr. Xu has set up another set of acquisition targets, targeting a variety of valuable tech start-ups, including clothing, liquor, shopping malls, construction, media, .......
Sometimes, Xu Teng has to offer a merger price much higher than the other party's stock price, and sometimes, limited by the NATO Wassenaar agreement, he has to sign a commercial agreement promising not to contact the industrial data and technology of these European companies...... He lied.
He must admit that the unfounded accusations of the Americans gave him an interesting inspiration, and in every European company he acquired and controlled, he would "transmit" data in a way that the other party could not have imagined by replacing new computers, servers, or new database software, and then through Dr. Lu.
Fortunately, in most of the companies that are directly acquired, he owns all the property rights, and does not need to be so hidden, and directly owns all the intellectual property rights, theoretical application and empirical data, and various design drawings.
He always chooses the target that is most likely to be acquired and can achieve results, and realizes the whole plan at any cost.
The nine major industrial groups under the Huayin consortium, as well as the state, state, and private enterprises involved in the project, have paid a price of 114 billion euros over the past five years.
The money is worth it, albeit too expensive.
Huayin Consortium and the whole system of enterprises, using these mergers, have established their own branches in Europe, with a brand recognized by the European and American markets, perhaps it will take ten years to absorb and digest, gradually cultivate their own talents, accumulate their own experience, they must continue to verify, why to design like this, and constantly verify the process technology.
They will develop very fast.
They are the closest to the market, have the market, the fastest response, have more human resources, and have a nearly world-class foundation in the entire system of industrial basic devices.
They will continue to invest tens of billions of euros to unite these European companies that have been acquired and controlled, invest funds, and jointly develop research and development to catch up with more advanced levels.
In the next five years, China will still have to import a large number of high-precision and cutting-edge industrial devices from Europe for its own industrial and export manufacturing, and it will also quickly threaten other small and medium-sized industrial enterprises in Europe, as well as South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, the Czech Republic, and Mexico...... Competitors in these countries are weakening the market share of Europe's top traditional industrial firms and eating into their mid-to-high-end sectors.
In the next 10 to 20 years, with the Huayin Consortium and more than 40 manufacturing central and state-owned enterprises, through property rights transactions, the reform of mixed ownership will be continuously implemented, and eventually more than 30 world-class traditional industrial enterprises will be formed, and China's network technology industry will achieve the initial integration of Industry 4.0.
The top manufacturing companies in old Europe, like today's Prima and Warwick, are also in a loss crisis, and what awaits them will be a new round of mergers and acquisitions.
Xu Teng called the project "Silver Ghost", "Silver Ghost and Ghost".
In the last century, the planned economy was not a realistic economic model, because there was no way to calculate such a large economic volume, there was no way to take into account all the factors.
However, times are evolving, and everything is changing.
Xu Teng was the first to realize the special relationship between the planned economy and artificial intelligence.
With super self-correction and adjustment artificial intelligence, super economic analysis and statistical models, super data and collection capabilities, and super computing capabilities, the combination of the four can formulate a very perfect planned economy.
The artificial intelligence and supercomputing center can count everyone's interests and consumption habits, analyze the demand for each product, control production capacity, and reduce the error between production plan and final consumption results.
Eventually, there will be no inventory in the factory, no industrial waste.
When Xu Teng formulated the "Silver Charm Plan", he also relied on artificial intelligence and supercomputing centers to collect a variety of data and conduct comprehensive calculations to determine the best acquisition targets.
Dr. Lu made millions of calculations and matched hundreds of thousands of combinations among the 700,000 companies, and analyzed the personality preferences of the board of directors and senior management members of each company, as well as their latest investment directions, by comparing the scientific research strength, product sales, financial reports and stock market transactions of each company, and finally finding out the best acquisition scope.
Only those who master science and technology can create miracles.
China has accumulated profound theoretical and practical experience in the fields of planned economics and market economics, artificial intelligence, supercomputing, big data and cloud computing...... The development of modern science and technology has contributed to the "Silver Charm Project" that cannot be ignored.
Now, the first phase of the Silver Charm program has been completed.
Dr. Lu will continue to monitor all the data, and if there is any lack of implementation effect, he will remind Xu Teng to formulate a new compensation plan and make continuous corrections to ensure that the second phase of the Silver Charm plan is completed.
Finally, in the third stage, in 2025, the super Huayin system with the Huayin consortium as the center will realize Industry 4.0 and achieve a comprehensive heavy blow to the economies of Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea.
China's import and export trade can be coordinated through the super Chinese silver system distributed at both ends of the Central European continent, and the trade between China and Europe will continue to maintain a relatively balanced situation for a long time.
When the fourth phase of the "Silver Charm Plan" is implemented, the main part of European industry will be absorbed by the entire Chinese industrial consortium.
When the "Silver Charm Project" is implemented to the fifth stage, it may be 30 years later, maybe 50 years later...... At that time, the vast majority of raw material mining, processing, industrial manufacturing, transportation, and sales will be controlled by supercomputer systems.
Humanity will be completely emancipated.
You can click on the list on your phone and you can get what you want, all the production is done by industrial robots, and all the logistics is done by smart vehicles and drone delivery systems.
You open your window, receive the goods on your balcony, and the drone scans your iris and face to hand over the items to you.
What you don't know is that before you choose an item, the system predicts that you are likely to buy it, and incorporates your variables into the production plan, and if you don't, the system will recommend you to buy because the system knows all your interests and preferences.
If you don't buy it, the system will modify your database, readjust it, and the next time it won't include your variables in the production plan.
There may be variables for individual individuals, but when the base for statistics and analysis is 1.4 billion people, there is not much variability, and all production plans will be controlled to an inventory error of less than 3%.
Of course, you can choose individually customized products, but your individual customization is always within the range of the system's estimates.
This is Industry 4.0.
Before the unlimited use of energy and resources, no one could choose to consume an unlimited amount, and everyone had their own quota cap, depending on your contribution to society.
If you choose to do nothing, you'll only get the minimum quota.
In May 2011, in the first phase of the Silver Charm plan, all the companies that need to be acquired have been basically realized, at least 90%.
Of all the missing points, the one that has the greatest impact is the lithography machine.
This is the problem that Xu Teng wants to solve this year, not in one step, but also in one step.
……
Stockholm is a beautiful Nordic city, it is a historical marvel, it has never suffered any form of war since the 19th century, in fact, it has been away from war since the 14th century.
It is not the city with the most monuments, but it is definitely the most complete.
The city is home to nine hotels owned by the Hyatt Regency Jiangtai Hotel Group, three five-star, one four-star and five express chains, and the most beautiful one is the Park Hyatt Kings Island, where Xu Teng stays.
When the construction of the hotel began, it had to strictly adhere to the constraints of the city government, defining its own architectural and decorative style and floor height, so that it could fit perfectly into the surrounding ancient buildings.
In the end, it opted for the late 18th-century Nordic classicism style, romantic and timeless, with reddish-brown stone ceramics on the façade making it look a lot like the architecture of the era.
Between commercial and conventional, it has chosen a compromise of nine storeys, which is already the highest building standard allowed by the city in the Kings Island area, which makes it stand out from the crowd of 18th-century buildings.
In the morning in Stockholm, the sun always comes late.
Park Hyatt has thoughtfully designed a solar ceiling that can simulate the glimmering light of the morning light, so that customers can enjoy the morning light of hope in the dark dawn.
When Xu Teng woke up, he deliberately chose a breakfast rich in Swedish characteristics, a few slices of rye bread, grilled squid fillet, and Swedish pancakes with butter and cheese, simple, but not bad.
It was actually very early, and he had to wait at least two hours for his first schedule in the morning, a meeting with Pete Wallenberg, chairman of the Silver Ruida consortium.
The Wallenberg family, The-Shun Famliy of Sweden.
The Xu family, the Wallenberg family of China.
This is why the Huayin Consortium and the Yinruida Consortium were able to reach a strategic cooperation framework in 2005, and if all goes well, Xu Teng's visit to Sweden will reach a deeper cooperation with the Wallenberg family.
At that time, the Huayin Consortium will allow the Yinruida Consortium to hold shares in its industrial groups and first-class listed companies, and even enter the board of directors, and similarly, the Huayin Consortium will also enter the enterprises of the Yinruida Consortium on an equal footing.
There are competing companies on both sides, and it is possible to carry out more cooperation, especially the competition between Ericsson and Huateng Electronics Group.
Both sides must acknowledge that the megatrends in international trade will eventually lead to constant consolidation between giants, and new giants will emerge with greater competitiveness.
This time period.
Charlie and the children are enjoying lunch.
The family chatted through video, and in a few days, Xia Li and her children will fly to Sweden and live together, Xu Teng will do his business and meet entrepreneurs and politicians, and Xia Li and her children can travel and sightseeing in Stockholm, taking the children to museums and art galleries.
That's how they live.
Compared with Xia Li and the children's sumptuous lunch, Xu Teng's breakfast was much simpler.
It wasn't until the children went out to play one after another that the couple waved goodbye, Xu Teng's breakfast time was over, quietly reading the information, every day, every month, there will be new variables in the Yinmei plan, beyond the plan, some are speeding up, and some are slow.
Every day, every month, Xu Teng has to make new decisions, reminding others to adopt some new strategies through emails and phone calls.
Google's business in the fields of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data has maintained a high level of research investment, but it still cannot be compared with the Huayin consortium, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.
Because Google is cautious.
Xu Teng is more radical, using artificial intelligence on a larger scale, and accumulating data and experience in the process of continuous use, constantly revising, improving, and of course, Xu Teng also has the vast majority of Google's achievements.
This is not a science fiction story.
It's a long-term investment of billions of dollars at the start, a build-up and progress over 10 years.
In fact, Google's artificial intelligence research in 2012 was about five or six years faster than Xu Teng knew...... In the Go world, there is no human player who can compete with Google's new intelligent program, DeepMind, and this is just a sub-direction of Google's core AI system.
There is still a big gap between this progress and Huateng Company.
The reason is simple.
Dr. Lu 4.0 is the fourth generation of DeepMind, which was developed by the AI Lab of the University of Cambridge, and was gradually upgraded to Dr. Lu's 4.0 system after Huateng's investment and continuous expansion.
Google's Alpha and DeepMind were both purchased from the British company Hassabis, which is equivalent to the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of Dr. Lu, and this Hassabis company is a startup of the AI Lab of the University of Cambridge.
If Dr. Lu of Huateng is the 4.0 version of the AI system, Google's DeepMind is actually the 2.0 version of Dr. Lu, and the source of both comes from the same theoretical system, the neuronal deep learning theory of Professor Stephan Winkelmen of Cambridge University.
The difference between the two is mainly the difference between the design direction and the total amount of the program, and there is still a process from quantitative change to qualitative change in the middle, and Google still has too many things to do to complete this road.
Because Google's artificial intelligence company only has more than 200 staff members and more than 30 scientists, and the AI science department of Huateng's science center is roughly 7 times larger than Google's in this field.
Huateng Company is not a listed company, as long as Xu Teng has enough capital, he can invest unlimitedly...... In fact, Dr. Lu has been able to rely on the capabilities of cloud computing and big data to continue to make profits and maintain the huge amount of funds needed for his own development through derivatives trading in the financial capital market, with the cooperation of some of the best financial analysts of the Bank of China Consortium.
That's how history changes.
This is probably one of the very few areas where China is ahead of the United States.
The foundation of all competition, after all, is the competition of talents, Xu Teng started the earliest, and the talent base cultivated in the past ten years is also ten times that of Google, which is the gap between the two sides.
This is the competition between the national system and the market mechanism.
Google wants to consider investment and returns, Xu Teng does not consider, he hired the world's best experts to found, established 7 research centers around the world, gradually transferred to China, selected the best graduate students in China, attracted to Huateng Science Center, and expanded the scale of talents.
The United States is aware of this, they just don't realize how big the gap is, and they guess that China's AI research is faster than the United States, about two or three years faster.
The biggest mistake the United States made was that China's largest AI research center was at an information engineering university, and they relied on the best model of the Pentagon + private enterprises, and they did not believe that they would be slow, at least not much slower.
It's like the hypersonic weapons incident, and the Pentagon is confused about China's breakthrough and doesn't understand what happened at all.
They don't know that as early as a certain year and a certain month, a certain academy has already put forward an academic theory of anti-ship weapons with a range of 12,000 kilometers...... In this field, we have more in-depth theoretical research, we train more researchers, we invest more money, and in the end, we win.
This is true of all competition, this is true of industry, and so is science.
In the field of industrial basic devices, we lack theoretical research, so we buy the knowledge and experience of the application of these theories, and we lack enough researchers, so we may have more personnel through mergers and acquisitions, and then slowly train more personnel.
We put more money in, and in the end, we win.
This is the reason why Xu Teng is so calm and so methodical, everything is going according to plan, this is the charm of the planned economy.
He is so laid-back, enjoying the morning sun in his hotel room, quietly enjoying breakfast, watching an online news bulletin, and on the LCD TV screen, Dr. Lu shows the scene of yellow-green wheat waves, symbolizing sowing and harvesting.
The time for Xu Teng to eat breakfast was as long as a century for Dr. Lu, with more than 4,000 huge sub-programs that were constantly improving, more than 700,000 databases, and different programs running according to time in the order of the core programs.
Its main body is not in Stockholm, but in the basement of the Yangtze University staff quarters, the library and the surrounding comprehensive stadium, a huge basement, hidden under the subway project of Huateng Xinke Supercomputing Center.
After years of hard work, it has become 100% sure that it will not be detected and stolen by the Prism Project.
Dr. Lu also has a special research result of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which can take active mimicry defense, make its information transmission look similar to a virus, it can simulate almost all the computer viruses in the world, and the Prism Project attacks it every day every month of the year will cause the possibility of anti-intrusion.
The biggest gap between the two sides lies in the cloud computing base of the United States and China, with China having more than twice the number of supercomputing centers in the United States and more than four times the number of commercial server resources.
The largest volume determines that the scope of China's attacks is larger, and it also determines that in the attack and counterattack of key systems, the two core AI network defense systems of Huateng Science Center and the National Information Security Agency have stronger computing power.
AI, in fact, is a very powerful operating system, a neuron-like operating system, whether it is Dr. Lu, or Google's Alpha system, or the information security agency and the Pentagon Prism Program, the world's four strongest AI, the core features are the core of intelligent learning and anthropomorphic thinking.
Don't overestimate and don't underestimate.
A program is always a program.
Even if it's wisdom in another sense, it's still something you can control, trust, and if you let it self-destruct in 30 minutes, it will automatically format in 30 minutes.
It's not human, it doesn't think, I'm going to live.
Because, life and death have no meaning for them, and every second of human beings is already eternal for them.
