Lowell McAdam contacted several Silicon Valley tech giants who had major business dealings with Luo Sheng's company to explain his purpose, and the heads of these tech giants strongly agreed with Lowell's suggestion and readily agreed to him.

So he decided to organize a group to visit Luo Sheng, so as to tell Luo Sheng, we are not in a group with the king of understanding, don't get me wrong, we still want to continue to swing the sculls happily, and the boat of friendship can't be overturned.

These high-tech giants of Lao Mei can only save themselves now, in a vain attempt to let the king help? Thank goodness for not causing trouble.

……

Côte d'Azur company.

"Mr. Luo, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam led a delegation to visit the Cote d'Azur with eleven global vice presidents of well-known Silicon Valley technology giants, this is Lowell's handwritten letter and personnel list, just wait for your promise, he will lead the delegation over." Tang Xin entered the CEO's office and reported.

This is to say hello in advance, and then it is good to prepare, if they come in a hurry, and they end up being closed, Lowell can't afford to lose this face, and Silicon Valley can't afford to lose this face, and they don't want to see some embarrassing content on the news headlines the next day.

They haven't forgotten the embarrassment of the head of ASML back then.

Luo Sheng took the letter and opened the list, and said in surprise: "Yo, such a luxurious lineup, all my partners, haha, most of these old friends in Silicon Valley can't stand being tossed by the king of understanding, and they come to me to complain." ”

Luo Sheng, who liked to see it, immediately looked at Tang Xin: "Okay, let's reply, I also have face for so many Silicon Valley bigwigs to visit, so I should gladly accept it." ”

Tang Xin nodded: "Okay, then I'll arrange it." ”

……

After Lowell and the others clearly got Luo Sheng's attitude, they flew from North America to Sioux City two days later, although they were very low-key when they came, they were discovered by some media in the terminal of Sioux City Airport.

For a while, it attracted widespread attention from industry insiders, and the most heavyweight should be the head of Verizon, and the others were global vice presidents, so it didn't cause much of an idea.

But the problem is that it's not one or two, so many vice presidents, and the technology company represented behind each of them is a well-known industry giant or a top existence in the industry, so it is not an ordinary heavyweight.

After arriving in Sioux City after only a day's rest to bridge the jet lag, he arrived at Galaxy City, the headquarters of the Côte d'Azur, early the next morning.

The time and place of the meeting had been scheduled, and Luo Sheng naturally got up early, and the meeting place was not in the conference room of any hotel, nor in the office or any golf course, but in the Azure-5 assembly department building of the headquarters of the Côte d'Azur.

……

"Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Lowell McAdam, CEO of Verizon Corporation, and this is the director and global executive vice president of Qualcomm......"

At the door of the building at this moment, Tang Xin introduced a group of foreigners who came to visit Luo Sheng one by one, and after the courtesy meeting and handshake, Luo Sheng, as the host, immediately stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation to signal everyone, and immediately led them towards the interior of the Azure-5 assembly line.

Lowell McAdam and others found that the meeting was very different from what they expected, and they didn't expect it to be like this while walking and chatting in the final assembly department.

But this is all secondary, as long as you can meet Luo Sheng in person, it is more important than anything else.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Lowell, you really shouldn't have come to me." Luo Sheng looked at it while walking comfortably and said slowly: "The media are reporting on your coming here, I believe it will soon spread to North America, your personality family will only hate me even more when he sees it, you are causing me trouble." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a luxurious Silicon Valley lineup in the technology world has come all the way to Sioux City, and only one person has the energy and qualifications to make such a large lineup.

It is not difficult for anyone with a little logical deduction ability to guess that he is here to find Luo Sheng.

When Lowell McAdam heard this, he was disdainful for a while, this pot is thrown, and now you can talk face-to-face, isn't it all the result of your consent? If you don't say anything, we'll come? Immediately replied with a helpless expression:

"Mr. Luo, now is not the time to dump each other, maybe he will hate you even more, but we are no better, I bet $10, maybe he will post a message on MicroBlog tomorrow to label us a traitor."

Luo Sheng smiled and didn't speak.

They are all human spirits, and some words are just enough, and the days to come will be long.

Luo Sheng took these foreigners around the Azure-5 assembly workshop for a period of time and came to a high platform area, the huge workshop actually has very few staff, most of them are intelligent machinery coordinated assembly products, and the whole workshop can get a complete Azure-5 smartphone in about 18 seconds.

Luo Sheng looked at the busy scene below and suddenly said: "Every engineer here has a master's degree or above, and there are nearly 45% of those with a doctorate, Wilbo Los wants me to go to the rust zone to build a factory, you are the elite of the elite, I want to ask you when I see these, do you really think your country can achieve the return of industrial production?" Is there a living soil? ”

Lowell McAdam and the others looked at the scene below, and they were all silent in the face of Luo Sheng's questions.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lowell and the others, and said lightly: "Do you think you can defeat the Cote d'Azur?" I can say with certainty that it is impossible, absolutely impossible. Whether I am active or passive, it has always had a leapfrog development in the field of high-end manufacturing, you are all my partners, I am very happy to see you here, which shows that you can see clearly than your politicians, you should think about how to participate, if you don't get on the car early, the future pattern will be very passive if it changes significantly, isn't it? ”

Lowell looked directly at Luo Sheng and questioned in disbelief: "Mr. Luo, are you so sure that the manufacturing industry cannot return to North America?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and replied, "Why do you want to ask more? You are standing here at this moment, and you all understand, even better than I do, otherwise what is the point of your presence here? ”

Lowell didn't answer, and neither did anyone else.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng smiled and said: "OK, I recently saw a statement from the Wujiao boss, saying that you can not use my country's rare earths, at most spend one or two billion US dollars to restart the production line by yourself, and say such a thing, either stupid or self-deception." ”

Lowell and the others still didn't reply.

Luo Sheng held the mast railing, looked at the assembly line below, and said leisurely: "Of course, North America is not short of money, what is one or two billion dollars when the money printing machine starts?" However, the return of industry, especially the return of high-end manufacturing, is not only a problem of capital, but also a problem of engineering capacity. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng looked at Luo Wei and the others and added: "Take rare earths as an example, you have a lot of rare earth resources and strong capital, but what about engineers? More than 95% of the high-end talents in the field of rare earth are in China, once the industrial system is lost, it must start from scratch, once industrial production stops, the industry will be broken, and North America has been moving out of the industry on a large scale since the eighties of the last century, and it has been broken for twenty or thirty years, and it is vain to revive in three years? ”

"The Woodhorn Building said that this rare earth will cost an extra $1 or 2 billion, that's because assuming that the cost of human resources remains the same, the investment can be obtained and the price is appropriate, and the market also guarantees that the Woodhorn Building will give orders, one industry is one or two billion dollars, what about all industries? Engineers, do you have all of them? The prosperity of Silicon Valley has deteriorated, and now the people you are recruiting are either engineers from Yindu or Chinese engineers, because the quality of the local population in North America has fallen off a cliff, and there is no one to revive the manufacturing industry, isn't it embarrassing? ”

Lowell McAdam coughed a few times in embarrassment, and Luo Sheng's series of rhetorical questions made everyone present unable to refute, but they couldn't admit it.

There are two extremes in the education system in North America, the capitalists are instilling happy education in the general public, but the education of their own children is just the opposite, the result is that the educational resources of the elite group are not at the same level as the general public, and they are all moving closer to the virtual economy, and the best analysts on Wall Street are almost not born in finance, but a group of top scientists.

Therefore, the best mathematicians and physicists in North America are not in the laboratory, but on Wall Street.

I chose to be the boss, and the dirty work of engineers was outsourced, and a large number of foreign engineers were recruited.

At this time, Qualcomm's global executive vice president tried to regain some initiative, only to see him say: "Mr. Luo, your company is not invincible, Azure mobile phones do not have Qualcomm's baseband, and all the machinery and equipment personnel here have to stop running." ”

The implication is that you Luo Sheng should not be too arrogant, we also have things that hinder you.

The two sides seemed to be chatting casually, but in fact, they were playing between the lines, and Lowell and the others came here to know that they were asking for someone, but they had to make a look like they were not asking for someone.

Luo Sheng was very unhappy with their attitude, and immediately looked at Qualcomm and said with a smile: "This is not authentic, I am Qualcomm's biggest customer, you are threatening customers, I am not only your Qualcomm consumer, I also participated in the research and development process with experience in the process of purchasing applications, how much technical value did I contribute to you by purchasing your chips?" A chip is very complex, some special chips can be said that you are absolutely capable of money, but you are not equipped with a good device below, who is your baseband chip sold to? How to develop together with system integrators? Not to mention that there are other vendors out there. ”

As soon as Qualcomm people heard the phrase "other suppliers", they immediately thought of a name - Huawei.

Huawei is playing with the dead baseband chip, Luo Sheng is still supporting, this is what Qualcomm is most afraid of, and now that it is proposed, his heart suddenly feels empty.

In addition to Qualcomm's virtual no, the people from IBM next to him are no better, and they also feel offended.

Huawei's server business has been booming in recent years, and has gradually moved closer to the main business from a Huawei edge business, in which Luo Sheng's support has played an extremely important role, and it can even be said that without Luo Sheng's support, Huawei's server business would not have risen so fast.

At that time, IBM felt a huge crisis, and also put practical actions to try to contain it, but the result did not play a big role, to say that it is false to say that it does not hate Luo Sheng, hateful is hateful, and Luo Sheng's tens of billions of dollars of business has to be done, it is too much, I really can't let go.

Among the foreigners present, more than half of them gritted their teeth with hatred for Luo Sheng, and the most uncomfortable thing was that they had the heart to kill each other but they couldn't kill them, and they had to continue to do business with the people who made them the most unhappy.
