Chapter 672 [Started Playing Hooligans Again]
The android No. 1 Auguste Fran went out with a mission to acquire Horizon Security, and the merger and acquisition of the company was completed in less than a month.
But August alone is not enough, the core management of Horizon Security must be their own people, and the middle and lower levels can recruit real employees to work for the company.
Next, Luo Sheng began to make the second android, the organs in the cultivation room have all been developed, and after August walks out of the laboratory, he will soon be able to enter the production of the second android, followed by the third and fourth ......
With the current efficiency, a bionic person can be manufactured in a month at most, and there are many "parts" such as organs and tissues in the cultivation room, but there is only one operating table in the liquid pool of the "assembly" platform, and this expensive operating table of up to 1 billion US dollars cannot be spent so indiscriminately even if Luo Shengchao is rich.
After the second android is manufactured, Luo Sheng will be able to liberate himself, and the next things can be done by the android to take over his work for the manufacture of the android, and in the future, he only needs to give orders, and let the tool man do the specific things.
β¦β¦
As time passed, the days of such a steady climb to science and technology did not last long, and Luo Shengmeizi's days ended with the fact that Wang understood that he was about to do something.
July.
The second quarter reports of major listed companies have also been released, and the 2017 Q2 financial report of Bluestar Technology Group was released on July 12.
This quarter, Bluestar Technology's global revenue was $64.2 billion, net profit increased sharply to $10.9 billion, and the net profit margin for the quarter was as high as 17%, nearly doubling year-on-year, exceeding the expectations of Wall Street analysts.
Stimulated by Q2 results, Bluestar Technology's market capitalization also ushered in a good increase, hitting a new high of $1.76 trillion since the company's listing in July, and its total market capitalization reached $1.77 trillion.
The second quarter audited report of the Cote d'Azur has also come out, with global sales of $189.72 billion for the quarter, a decrease of about $20 billion from the previous quarter, which is within the company's internal expectations, because the sales of Azure-5 have passed the hot period and have begun to cool down.
But even so, the performance of the CΓ΄te d'Azur in the first two quarters of the first half of the year is close to the total sales of last year, and such a dazzling performance is inseparable from the contribution of the Azure-5 sales.
Net profit also reached a new high, with a net profit of $28.45 billion for the quarter.
I don't know if it's because of the dazzling financial reports of Luo Sheng's two companies that stimulated Wang, a few days after the disclosure of the second quarter statements, that is, on July 13, the news broke that Wang signed a presidential memorandum, asking the Ministry of Commerce to investigate whether the import of Internet service products and consumer-grade electronic products threatens the national security of the magnesium country.
β¦β¦
Mid-July.
At this moment, Luo Sheng is in his private office to participate in a video conference with the company's top management.
Yao Jianhong, who attended the meeting, said: "The so-called memorandum that was signed requires the head of the North American Department of Commerce, Wilpo Lows, to start this investigation of North American imported products and services as soon as possible, according to a statement issued by the North American Department of Commerce, the adjustment will involve various factors such as production capacity, labor, investment, research and development, to determine whether the imported products threaten the so-called national security." β
Another manager who attended the meeting suddenly said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is aimed at us, and the last time we talked about it was just a year ago, we made trouble for you again, and the capriciousness of the real horse is endless." β
Seeing the executive scolding, Luo Sheng smiled indifferently and did not start to say anything.
It's true that two companies can make money, but others can't make you make money safely, which are two different things.
Lao Mei can give you a stable income for a year is already very good, this still took a lot of effort and negotiation in exchange, if it is not for their own hard enough, strong enough, let alone a year, a month of opportunities may not be available.
Yao continued: "In an interview, Wilpo Los said that a full investigation will be conducted quickly, and if necessary, action will be taken to protect the national security, workers and businesses from foreign companies, and that after a thorough investigation, a report will be issued that includes recommendations for action if it is determined that imported consumer-grade electronics pose any threat to national security." β
The meaning expressed between the lines is clear.
After briefly reporting the matter, Yao Jianhong immediately added his opinion: "According to the relevant laws in North America, they do have the right to use means such as adjusting tariffs and quotas to control imports. β
Luo Sheng knocked on Erlang's leg and said slowly: "The purpose of them doing so many expressions is one, employment, employment or employment, just to give me priority to building factories in North America, preferably all Azure mobile phones, ieP tablets and ACC game consoles are manufactured in North America." β
Judging from the past historical record, Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur have almost said goodbye to the North American market many times, if it was five years ago that the United States decided to decouple, it may be easy, but today it is not easy to drive the Cote d'Azur out of North America.
Because it hurts Lao Mei herself.
The reason is also very simple, the technology companies in California and Silicon Valley on the west coast of North America were the first to refuse, although the technology companies in Silicon Valley and Luo Sheng's enterprises compete with each other, but they still have a close relationship with each other as partners.
Completely break up, Silicon Valley and California, which rely on technology to eat, will inevitably suffer heavy losses as vested interests, and they are definitely the first group not to agree, as well as Wall Street.
On the whole, there is no benefit to the elite group with a large vested interest in North America, and it is bound to oppose it, and whether it is useful or not is one thing.
Obviously, there was a huge difference of interests within the other party, and no consensus was reached, which led to the fact that in recent years, Luo Sheng wanted to drive Luo Sheng out of the North American market, but in the end he failed to do so, and now he has begun to make trouble again.
Luo Sheng held his chin and fell into deep thought, and everyone present did not speak.
At the end, Luo Sheng put down his hand and looked at the participants on the screen, analyzed and made a decision in an orderly manner:
"They have done a lot of homework at this time, don't look at the news reports are very bluffing, in fact, they also want to talk, but they are reluctant to take the initiative to come to talk because of face, so they lack an opportunity to meet and negotiate, as long as there is this opportunity, they can start negotiations."
Hearing this, Yao Jianhong thought for a while and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Luo, the opportunity you said is the summer Davos Forum to be held in the middle of this month?" β
Luo Sheng nodded and said succinctly: "That's right." β
They all have tempers, they all want to talk, and they all know each other's tempers to talk about each other in detail, so they need a step and an opportunity.
And the summer Davos forum is a perfect step, giving people the feeling that I didn't want to meet with you, and I was going to do it directly, but since we met in Davos, we are here, and it is not impossible to talk about it by the way.
Luo Sheng looked around at the participants on the video screen and said: "My little princess is about to be born, and it has happened in the last few days, so I won't go to the summer Davos Forum held in Bencheng this time. β
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but show a bright smile like a father, and the executives attending the meeting also laughed.
Yao Jianhong smiled in surprise: "Really? Then congratulations to Mr. Luo in advance, leave the company's affairs to us, and I will go to Davos in person. β
Luo Sheng said seriously: "None of your red envelopes are missing." β
"Haha, that's natural, it's a must."
Other executives attending the meeting also congratulated the big boss in advance, and the video conference lasted for a few minutes before it ended.
β¦β¦
The three-day summer Davos Forum from July 17 to 19 was held in Bencheng as scheduled, and most of the well-known bigwigs in the economic circle, business community, and Internet circles appeared, such as Mr. Ma of Ahri.
Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology are not absent every year, but Luo Sheng has never participated, and Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen went to participate in this forum exchange summit on behalf of the company.
This time, with the memorandum signed by the king, the media and industry insiders are looking forward to whether Luo Sheng will appear in Davos.
As a result, on the day of the opening of the conference, the expectations were finally disappointed, Luo Sheng still did not appear in Davos, as the most influential and perhaps not one of the bigwigs in the contemporary technology and business circles, he inevitably had some regrets not coming.
On the afternoon of July 18, a local Hyatt hotel.
Yao Jianhong looked at the group of North American negotiators sitting opposite him led by Wilpo Lowes, and said calmly:
"There are no third-party eyes and ears here, the content of the negotiation will not be left on file, the negotiation will not be successful, leaving the conference room is equivalent to nothing happening, let's open the skylight and say something, the tariff adjustment is such a thing as an expression in the outside world, and now it is finally possible to meet on the second opportunity of the Davos exchange, it is better to talk about something real, which is good for both sides, isn't it?"
