Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wu Jinwei
The city of Irkutsk, a small suburban town.
The fire in the hut is blazing, the air is filled with the smell of pine oil and tea, wolf heads, bear skins and shotguns hang on all sides, and the decoration is full of Buryat flavor.
Four or five bearded men stared warily at the arrival, their old mother making tea, while the other women and children were herded into another hut.
"Hi, how are you? I'm Ivanov, welcome to you, my friend. β
"Good. Hello, my name is Wu Jinwei. You can call me Jin or Wei. β
With a hint of a smile, Wu Jinwei patted the master's back in a friendly manner, which was his habit and a kind of politeness.
Wu Jinwei, 25, graduated magna laude from Caltech at the age of 22 and six months later founded Woodbird Technology Inc. in Los Angeles with a personal patent, specializing in the Internet of Things and cloud services.
At present, he has more than 50 Internet of Things and other related technology patents, with an annual turnover of up to 1.6 billion US dollars, of which patent licensing fees alone account for 70% of net income.
Even IBM has bought some patents from him.
The name "Wood Bird" comes from Luban, the originator of Chinese carpenters.
Legend has it that Ruby invented the magpie made of bamboo, the magpie bird can go up to the green clouds without wind, and can fly for three days and three nights without falling.
"Can you show me the goods first?" Wu Jinwei sat down with a smile and nodded kindly to the old woman who brought the tea.
He has short, energetic hair, a thin face, a high nose, and always speaks with a very fresh smile.
In comparison, the Thai bodyguard next to him looked a little vicious. The fingers and raised temples indicate that they are both Muay Thai contenders.
Those Russian men may have felt nervous because of them.
"Absolutely." Ivanov took a lead box from his son and carefully opened it in front of him.
Under the light, the box contains a small piece of unidentified metal, with a mysterious and layered pattern on it, which is about 20 centimeters in size, and looks like a piece of a falling device.
"It's really strange, are you sure it fell from an alien spaceship?"
Wu Jinwei put on a pair of white gloves and carefully looked at every inch of the pattern with a magnifying glass, and his gaze began to be a little fascinated.
For extraterrestrial creatures and UFOs. Jwell has always maintained a strong curiosity. He is also a loyal supporter of extraterrestrial life.
He also has a penchant for collecting meteorite fragments, and he is happy to spend a lot of money on them whenever someone is willing to do so.
He is present in almost all major UFO forums in the world. Wu Jinwei is also a full member of the American Association of Extraterrestrial Biology.
Every year he goes to New York for a rally. Show off your collection to members.
Montana, USA. He also runs a private museum full of fragments of meteorites he has collected from all over the world, the largest being nearly 1 meter. The smallest is the size of a grain of rice.
The total value of these collections is more than $130 million.
Just a week ago, he received a greeting from Russia in his e-mail address, which included only this address and a photo. That picture was what he saw now as the ship's wreckage.
"Of course it's true!"
Ivanov confirmed: "When my grandfather was a child, he saw real spaceships!" This fragment was found nearby! β
"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious."
Wu Jinwei asked while observing, "What about later?" Didn't anyone look for you? Where did the ships go? β
"They were taken away by the tsar's soldiers!"
Ivanov took the cigar he handed him and said, "I heard that there were aliens in the spaceship, but no one saw him. Later, the Soviets came once, when my grandfather was in his 50s, and I watched him being taken by a group of soldiers! By the time my grandfather was released, the war was over......"
"Oh? Look at it this way...... There's a good chance the secret of the 'space race' on the internet is true......"
Wu Jinwei took off his gloves and said, "Didn't they take it away?" I see you use this lead box to pack, is there any radioactive material? β
"I don't know what to do!"
Ivanov shook his head and said, "My grandfather made me do this." When he got the piece, he buried it in the back of the house until he died. He said that treasures are always sold to those who know the goods. β
"I see."
Wu Jinwei took a puff of his cigar and said with a faint smile: "In this way, it is really something of great historical value. Why do you want to sell it? It makes a lot of sense to your family. β
"I need money."
Ivanov looked behind him helplessly and said: "It's not the Soviet era anymore, you need a lot of money to do anything, my youngest son is 35 years old this year, he is still single, I have to do something for them......"
"And those grandchildren of mine, I want to see them go to college before I die, not be a lazy man for the rest of my life......"
"I understand."
Wu Jinwei smiled kindly: "You are really an elder who attaches importance to the family, which is very similar to us Chinese people. Let's talk about the price, how much are you going to get? β
"10 million rubles, no less!"
When he said this number, Ivanov looked very apprehensive and excited at the same time, and he wondered if the Chinese-American in front of him would be scared away.
His sons were equally excited, and the youngest interjected, "Father, I think you should give this gentleman a little favor......"
"No, it's just the right price for me, but it's a bit of a disadvantage for you."
Fairness is one of Wu Jinwei's principles of life, in his philosophy, the most important thing for a businessman is integrity, and the second is fairness.
In the United States, he saw a lot of people who were shot for taking advantage.
"According to the exchange rate, 10 million rupees is equivalent to 1.8 million yuan...... By the way, do you prefer the US dollar or other currencies? β
"Dollars, of course! The U.S. dollar is the international currency! Ivan's youngest son said excitedly. The others nodded in approval.
"That's good!" Wu Jinwei got up and snapped his fingers and said, "I have 500,000 US dollars in my car, and he is equivalent to 17 million rubles." Do you think the price is right? β
"If it's appropriate. We'll trade now. β
"WhenγOf course, Mr. Kim, you are being too generous."
"You're welcome, I think we'll be friends. Dear Ivan, do you know anyone who has such a thing? β
β¦β¦
Jianghang City, Nanke Private Club.
Since those big brothers broke with Ma Qingyun, this has become their new gathering place.
In the private room, Li Yifeng of Jinyin Group, Gao Qi of Huaxun Group, Jiang Yu of Changjiang Group, Yuan Songling of Yalong Investment, and Wan Chenggong of Nanke Group gathered together.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and they feel more and more that this winter is not going to be easy......
After Ma Qingyun left, Ali's internal morale was disheartened. Many middle and senior executives have chosen to leave. The new people they have cultivated simply cannot control the current situation.
And they are facing not only internal pressure, but also external pressure!
Penguin, Amazon, eBay. and other large e-commerce giants have extended olive branches to their insiders......
And foreign consortia are also staring at this big cake. Now the news of 'fakes frequent' on the Internet is that they have made a fool of it. They are forcing Taobao to go public.
Once on the market. They will use their funds to buy shares of them! When the time comes, Taowang or even Ali will not be counted by them.
Those Wall Street conglomerates don't care what you come from, as long as you have money to make. They are willing to bring down the economy of a country!
"What did Xiao Wei say? How long will it take for him to come back? Li Yifeng asked with a frown.
Wu Jinwei's Wood Bird Technology, with general equity in their hands, is the magic weapon of the 'Jianghang Five Elders' to deal with Ma Qingyun.
They all know that Ma Qingyun will not give up, and he may not be good at the Internet of Things, but he is familiar with creating an e-commerce website like Taowang and Tiangu.
What worries them the most is not these, but his cooperation with Infinite Dreams.
The recent 'baby cultivation' voice game made by Infinite Dream made them completely see the horror of Yang Ye.
Secretly, they once hired some foreign hackers to crack it, but they were refused.
Because those hackers started to crack work as early as the day of the Christmas push, and received orders from more than 20 companies at the same time, including electronic technology giants such as Apple and Samsung.
As a result, the program is uncrackable like a YOS parasite.
When Yang Ye was transplanted, he added a layer of 'defensive shell' to it.
This 'shell' is composed of alpha star script, and if you want to crack it, you must first understand alpha star language, which is basically impossible for earthlings.
All of them and those foreign giants are in a hurry, once YOS starts to be free, then he will occupy more than 50% of the Android market, which is still a conservative estimate.
At that time, as long as he has some services provided by Ma Qingyun built into the system, he will be able to snatch up a lot of e-commerce customers!
At that time, the sellers will defect one after another, foreign consortia will start from it, coupled with penguins, Amazon and other companies, Ali will inevitably be eaten by the market in less than two years!
"He said he was in Russia and might come back before the Spring Festival!" Jiang Yu said unhappily.
He is now very dissatisfied with Wu Jinwei. With this phone call, he has called Jin Wei five times one after another, but none of them have won the 'respect' of the other party.
"That's good!"
Li Yifeng said with a smile: "It's normal for young people to love to play, why don't we discuss the new candidates with the board of directors first, I believe that Ali should be better in the hands of Xiaowei." β
"Yi Feng, do you really think this person is suitable?"
Gao Qi leaned back in his chair and said, "Wu Jinwei, I'm not sure." He made me feel like a wolf, and he was ready to bite at any moment. I'm afraid he will be the second Ma Qingyun. β
"I think so too." Wan Chenggong, the founder of Nanke, said: "Xiaowei is indeed very capable of leadership, but this kind of person will be subservient to others? β
"No, no, no, your thinking is very wrong, why do you always want to take advantage? If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have grudged with Infinite Dreams. β
Hearing this, the four of them all felt embarrassed, and Li Yifeng then smiled: "Xiaowei has a very good advantage of 'fairness'!" As long as we give him an equal status, he will really help you. β
"Old guys, you have to look away, there are a lot of money in this world, and the money is endless. Benefit sharing is the secret of invincibility! β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the light snow gradually stopped, and the southern suburbs of Infinite Dream Company welcomed two old guys and a 'new guest'.
"Come on, brother, I'll introduce you to a new friend, he may be our first partner......"
In the rest area, Ma Qingyun happily led a young man to Yang Ye. He is Liang Lao's grandson, Liang Qiufeng.
"Hello, Brother Ye, we meet again."
Yang Ye smiled and hugged him: "How are you doing?" β
"You ......"
Ma Qingyun suddenly understood, pointed at Liang Qiufeng and smiled, and Lao Cai on the side also slapped his hands and smiled. (To be continued......)
