Chapter 511 Sauna City, Current Status of Three-System Electronics

Sauna city is a legitimate commercial establishment and certainly does not offer any illegal services such as borderline activities or sexual favors; otherwise, it would have been shut down by the Shiliying Subdistrict Office long ago to rectify its practices.

However, some things are difficult to regulate with regulations alone.

Just like the VIP area of ​​a sauna.

Soft and soothing classical music filled the hall, where a dozen or so beautiful figures dressed in high-end brands were scattered.

Some were fresh and refined, some were alluring and graceful, and some were gentle and elegant. They did not hand out cards or even talk about romantic relationships. They either played on their phones, chatted quietly, or enjoyed fruit drinks and red wine.

If someone contacts them, they can quickly figure out your background and value in just a few words. If they feel you have value, they will help you analyze industry trends and future development, and then discuss projects with you.

If the time is right, having sex with them is just one aspect. They will also invite you shopping, buying bags, attending corporate banquets, and even buying cars and houses. Not only will you not object, but you will also take the initiative to buy the most expensive items, because compared to the projects you get and the connections you build in the process, your efforts are only considered an initial investment.

Once this project you got is completely finished, you two, who have been sleeping together for two months, will break up peacefully.

And you very generously gave the other party a breakup fee ranging from 50 to 500 million.

Do you think this is against the rules?

"And this is just the simplest routine. There are more sophisticated ones, such as donations, auctions, tour groups... In short, they can always reasonably avoid punishment and help you achieve a double harvest of 'love and career'."

With Fan Tao's wealth and status, there are plenty of women both domestically and internationally who would throw themselves at him.

His purpose in coming to the sauna city to find girls was entirely to uncover this powerful force involved in cases worth hundreds of billions, with industries covering plastic surgery, tax evasion, wealth management, and loans, and connections to Hong Kong and Macau.

“I’ve been away from home for over three years and rarely made public appearances. Plus, I’ve successfully lost weight, so in their eyes I’m just a piece of fat, and they’re sure to take the bait,” Fan Tao said as he used his fabricated identity within the factory to process annual memberships.

Yu Yang already knew about this, but he didn't care much about it.

First, there was indeed no violation.

Secondly, they are socialites; if this gang is dismantled, another gang will surely emerge.

Third, this group is not coerced, but based on the principle of voluntariness. In fact, most members enjoy this kind of thing and regard socializing as a hobby and public relations as a career. The leader, in particular, is known in the underworld as the Queen of Shili Camp.

Fourth, this group collectively obtained health certificates from the Central Hospital... so at least they were somewhat sensible.

"As the old saying goes, people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution. People earn their living through their own abilities, so there's no need to beat them up the most for being poor."

As Yu Yang spoke, he handed the Titan phone to Dao Yi, instructing him and Seng Yi to play with it themselves.

He then took out his old SY handheld console and used the same fake identity to apply for an annual card.

After finishing my work, I went into the four-seater service area to soak my feet.

Fan Tao chuckled awkwardly, "I was just afraid you'd cause me trouble."

"With your petty thoughts, if you really wanted to find girls, why would you tell me about coming to the sauna while having breakfast?"

Fan Tao's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Boss, the fact that a young lady from the Beijing elite circle has come to us is a sign. If this continues, perhaps a young master from the Beijing elite circle will marry the child of one of our core members."

"So I pulled Wang Zheng out."

"You're convinced they won't choose me."

"Do you think they're stupid? If they choose you, the Rong family, a prominent family of young ladies in Beijing's elite circles, will probably have to change their surname to Fan."

"I'm not that awesome."

Yu Yang lit a cigarette. "Actually, the matter of powerful families is easy to understand. Take our Shiliying, for example. We've opened so many companies, so we need to find a few trustworthy people to serve as senior executives. And those trustworthy people are definitely the core members who have followed me to conquer the world."

"So you became the heads of companies such as Sanyuan Agriculture, Sanyuan Chemical, Sanyuan Daily Chemical, Sanyuan Pharmaceutical, Sanyuan Pharmaceutical Industry, Sanyuan Heavy Industry, Sanyuan Aerospace, and Sanyuan High-Tech."

"These enterprises determine the economy of Shiliying, and each of them is a monopoly in Shiliying."

"If I die one day and there is no qualified successor, or if we happen to face internal and external troubles, you who are in charge of the various companies will definitely rack your brains to take over the company for yourselves."

"They may hollow out the company, seize equity, or dominate the upstream and downstream industrial chains."

“In the long run, these three companies will become your tools for accumulating wealth. The employees’ treatment will get worse and worse, the company’s profits will get lower and lower, and even because of their lack of ambition and inability to keep up with the international situation, their losses will become more and more serious, but your pockets will get fatter and fatter.”

"Seeing this, Old Huang couldn't bear to see Chief Yu's hard work go to waste, so he decided to open up Shiliying, introduce foreign investment, and suppress you three-line aristocratic families."

"But Lao Huang was worried about letting the wolf into the house, so he negotiated with the foreign investors and arranged for his children, including the children of the deputy township head and the director of the investment promotion office, to be in charge of the foreign investment's businesses in Shiliying."

"Years later, Old Huang died."

"Old Huang's children, without any support, have no choice but to collude with you."

"Whether they married into the village or were married into the village, they eventually engaged in illicit relations, leaving the employees of Shiliying with no way out and even forcing them to lose their jobs."

"Later, Chairman Yu returned and established a new Sanyuan Agriculture. While confronting foreign capital, he also feigned compliance with you. Thanks to the support of the employees of the three departments, the new Sanyuan Agriculture quickly rose to prominence."

"At this time, whether it's Lao Huang's children or you, everyone is worried about being purged and hopes to form a partnership with Xin Sanyuan Agriculture."

"What do you think Chairman Yu will do at this time?"

As Fan Tao listened, he pondered deeply. When he heard the last sentence, he said, "Dig a hole, lure them in, and then bury them all."

"Ha ha···"

Yu Yang laughed and patted Fan Tao on the shoulder, "That's right."

He then continued, “So I first encouraged 45 large state-owned enterprises in Dongshan to go public in North America, and then encouraged hundreds of companies in the three major groups to go public in the United States, which attracted CITIC, Poly, China Resources and others to also want to go public in the United States.”

"If they take action, we can directly acquire their circulating shares through the massive funds raised by MT Group's IPO."

"If we add the shares we acquired through Aynak Minerals and West African Minerals, such as those held by CITIC, Poly, and China Resources, it wouldn't be difficult to kick them out."

"Unfortunately, Lao Ren saw through this and stopped it all through Lao Yuan. As a result, Lao Ren was cut off from the three-element special medicine and eventually died because there was no cure."

"Old Ren's death, coupled with Wang Zheng's actions, terrified them."

"So we sent the young ladies from Beijing's elite circles here to test the waters."

"At this point, I promoted Wang Zheng to head of Sanyuan Foods' overseas operations and arranged his marriage to a young lady from a prominent Beijing social circle, which was a way of expressing goodwill to them."

"Next, many of us will either marry into wealthy families, marry foreigners, or start our own businesses, and then, with the help of powerful clans, take control of the overseas businesses of the three major families."

"The North American economy is teetering on the brink of collapse. Strictly speaking, we are the ones who are keeping it afloat. But the outside world doesn't see it that way. They believe that federal capital is still American imperialism. So, in order to have a place in the collective, powerful families will inevitably pour their resources into their 'sons-in-law' or 'daughters-in-law'."

"When the time is right, we will sever ties with North America, triggering a global economic crisis. The overseas businesses of the three major groups will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the powerful families who have poured their resources into the overseas businesses of the three major groups will inevitably lose everything."

"At this point, it would be only natural to kick out the powerful families from CITIC, Poly, and China Resources."

"Of course, the situation is changing, and specific details need to be adjusted according to one's own circumstances."

After Yu Yang finished speaking, he dried his feet, put on his slippers, and gestured for Fan Tao to take a shower.
20 minute later.

Sauna area, 38°C room.

Yu Yang and Fan Tao entered the large, dome-shaped yurt one after the other.

Inside, there are lounge chairs, pebbles all around, as well as a small bridge, flowing water, and tropical vegetation.

Because the room hadn't been cleared out, it was filled with people scattered haphazardly, some sitting, some lying down, in a space comparable to a basketball court.

Yu Yang and Fan Tao found a seat and sat down. Shortly after them, a pair of twins walked in and sat down next to them.

The two sisters chatted idly, their conversation shifting from cosmetics to cars, beauty treatments, clothing, agriculture, industry, and even cell phones...

Seeing how hard the two sisters were working, Yu Yang decided to give them some face and said, "Are your phones the new Titan model? They look more high-end than the MT and more unique than the SY."

The two sisters continued the conversation, neither sad nor happy. One of them picked up her phone and, like a tech enthusiast, boasted slightly, "This is the Titan's newly released Collector's Edition from June. It uses a Qualcomm QSD8250 single-core processor, 1.0GHz clock speed, 65nm process technology, 960x640 resolution, 256MB RAM, and 4GB storage."

"4G? My God, do phones have that much memory now?" Fan Tao exclaimed in a very exaggerated manner.

Yu Yang nodded. "I remember that two years ago, the maximum memory of a mobile phone was 512MB. I didn't expect it to have increased so many times over now."

The other twin sister spoke up: "That's right, the SY custom handheld console I bought last year is almost out of memory with 1GB of storage."

Yu Yang asked curiously, "I remember that the three-system applications don't take up much memory."

"The installation package for the three-system service is indeed small, but now there are many games, like this match-3 game, which is a full 580M, and this ski game, which is 800M. I heard that the most popular one now is Eternal Warriors, an online game where you upgrade and get equipment. The compressed file is already 2.5G in size. If you install it, your phone's memory will not be enough."

Are there many people playing it?

"I heard that there are more than 200 million players online every day, but Eternal Warriors is not the most popular. The game with the most online players is Real Football, with 3 million players across all platforms."

"Wow, with so many hit games coming out, there must be fewer people playing Legend of Mir."

"Yes, the number of daily online users has plummeted from 2000 million to 300 million. Even the sales of all-in-one PCs have dropped to a fraction of what they used to be."

"So, foreign capital opened up the Eastern market through games?"

"Pretty much. At least Sanxi Electronics is falling behind now, including the SY handheld console direct sales store, which is also deserted."

Why doesn't Sanxi Electronics release a large-capacity memory module?

"You've hit the nail on the head."

One of the twin sisters sat down next to her with her phone in hand. "Look at this phone," she said, "its CPU is very powerful and good at handling complex tasks. The GPU is average, but it can still enhance the graphics display. And the game installation packages are all compressed, and even after installation, there are countless paths."

"When the game runs, the CPU decompresses memory resources, allocates resources, processes your actions, and at the same time, the GPU displays the images."

"The SY handheld uses a three-series micro central processing unit, which is mainly used to integrate GPU resources and hardly interacts with memory. The three-series GPU corresponds to the three-series transceiver, which receives and transmits cloud data, and also hardly interacts with memory."

"Therefore, the three CPUs and GPUs cannot process game installation packages, so the SY handheld console cannot run these types of games."

"Now you understand, foreign companies are constantly enhancing the performance of 3G phones through games and applications, gradually widening the gap with Sanxi Electronics."

Yu Yang pretended to suddenly understand, "I see, but why doesn't Sanxi Electronics release its own games?"

"It was launched. A while ago, an Eastern fantasy online game, similar to World of Warcraft, was released. It was a PC game and was designed for all-in-one PCs released after 03. It attracted many players at the time, but the cloud data transmission frequency was too high, which affected the bandwidth of the three-dimensional communication network in the user's area. In addition, the three-dimensional signal transceiver was working at high frequency, which was prone to overheating over time and would also lead to a significant reduction in its lifespan. It also seemed to have caused several fires. Ultimately, the game was taken down, and many all-in-one PCs were also urgently recalled."

Yu Yang was busy setting up Titan Company, then dealing with the Southeast Asian industry, and now he has to consider the food war. He has not had time to pay attention to Sanxi Electronics, let alone know about this matter. "It seems that Sanxi Electronics is doomed."

"Who can argue with that... Is the big boss planning to invest in electronics because he's so interested in it?"

"I work in the animal feed industry and don't know anything about electronics."

"Feed? With grain prices plummeting, feed companies will either go bankrupt or skyrocket to new heights. The big boss is young and rich, so it'll definitely be the latter."

"Well, it's not bad. We've secured quite a few overseas orders."

"Boss, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Just like with grain, nobody knows whether the next round will see a surge or a crash, but either way, it will affect the feed company. Chairman Yu once said that only by diversifying can a company grow more steadily. Coincidentally, I'm in the electronics manufacturing business. Why don't you consider investing in 3G mobile phones? To be honest, I have Qualcomm chips and three-series transceivers. I can also help you get affiliated with a manufacturer that has a communications license and create a sub-brand."

"Oh? I didn't expect you two sisters to be big bosses too."

"No, we're just employees."

"But I don't know anything about electronics."

"I can help you plan, guaranteeing extremely low risk. If there is a full loss, we can guarantee you get back more than 90% of your principal, just like in the trading hall."

Yu Yang knew, of course, that this was an investment guarantee agreement through the trade hall, and the twin sisters signed a 90% guarantee for him. In other words, if he lost money, the twin sisters would keep 10% of the difference.

However, the twin sisters provided the planning scheme and initial resources. If there was no deception, this investment was actually more suitable than the investment in the trade hall.

This is also the fundamental reason for the gang's continued existence.

Yu Yang thought for a moment, "I don't think Sanxi Electronics is that weak. Sanxi all-in-one PCs will definitely rise again. I plan to take a different approach and invest in all-in-one PC games."

"this···"

The twin sisters exchanged a glance. "Boss, could you leave your contact information? We'll go back and discuss it, and then give you an answer."

"Yes, I also plan to go to the trade hall to take a look."

"Then you should play more games... We can play with you and look for business opportunities."

"Oh? Do you charge for playing with me?"

"We're here to help you find business opportunities and reach a cooperation agreement; asking for money is too vulgar."

"If I ultimately decide not to invest, wouldn't you have wasted your time?"

"Then we look forward to the next collaboration."

The twin sisters got Yu Yang's contact information, said no more nonsense, and waved goodbye.

Fan Tao exclaimed, "This team is truly remarkable."

"Haven't you noticed that it looks a bit like an insurance company transforming itself?"

"Hey, it really does look a bit like it."

"Actually, Amway is behind them."

"No wonder, I was wondering why they were neglecting the resources of Shili Camp and prioritizing the promotion of 3G phones and Qualcomm chips... But, boss, are you really planning to get involved in the game development yourself?"

"Sanxi Foods needs promotion. In order to make the Sanxi brand deeply rooted in people's hearts, it is indeed necessary to create a few food-related casual games."
