Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 533 Capital Gathering, Anti-Three Alliance

Yu Yang treated the second prince of the oil country quite well.

At least in terms of cooperation, the other party felt sincerity, received excellent value for money, and felt that the money was well spent.

Just like infrastructure.

What Shiliying has, the oil country definitely has too, such as high-speed rail, drones, and the ternary communication network.

Shili Camp has such things, but they cannot be put into use. The Oil Country also has them, such as war robots, prism towers that can accurately kill single targets, and desert plastic greenhouses that can grow fruits and vegetables.

Even though some companies in the three major industries have them, Shiliying does not, and the oil country does as well. For example, there are laser cannons that can shoot down satellites and fourth-generation nuclear power plants - clean energy with AI management - high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (the third generation is a digital pressurized water reactor, and the second generation is a traditional pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor).

In short, the level of development of the oil-rich country of Riyadh not only surpasses that of Europe and America, but also far exceeds that of Shiliying.

Sanyuan Agriculture, which received massive amounts of US dollars, euros, and crude oil from the oil-producing countries, not only carried out infrastructure renovations in the oil-producing countries but also helped create a number of ultra-high-end brands with the reputation of being "expensive for a reason."

For example, Zafir kitchen and bathroom products: the brand can sell a simple faucet for $3000, yet wealthy people feel that it is "worth the price." Its influence in the high-end market has now surpassed that of Kohler in North America.

For example, Zuhair lenses, the brand's prescription glasses can achieve a refractive index of 1.8 or 1.9 while maintaining an extremely high Abbe number (good clarity), making the lenses lighter and thinner. If paired with the brand's ultra-lightweight frames, the weight of the entire set of glasses is comparable to a sheet of A4 paper. Currently, the lowest price is $2 per pair, which is now considered the ceiling of the pyramid in the eyewear industry.

For example, the "Wasim Shopping Mall" surpasses "Shili Mall", "SY Mall" and "Walmart-Sam's Club". Whether it is decoration, product display, product quality and service attitude, the mall is the best in the world. Moreover, you can buy "factory-exclusive" products that Sanyuan Agriculture does not sell to the public, commonly known as "unlicensed goods".

Also.

Sanyuan Agriculture also took advantage of several industrial upgrades to transfer a large number of high-end production lines to the oil country, helping to build an industrial system, a light industrial system, and a three-system electronics system.

Although the wealthy don't want to work in factories, having one and not having one are two different things.

Even if the factory is completely empty, with only equipment and no workers, the Second Prince can still customize exclusive brands for the oil country from the three industries - 21 countries in West Africa, then bring the exclusive products to similar factories in the oil country, use automated robots to package and label them, and then sell them under the name of the oil country's independent production.

Of course, in fact, the vast majority of high-end brands in the oil country are actually OEM versions of the 3 Series.

They may be manufactured in Shiliying, processed in Meihekou, or assembled in Nanyang. Then, through Mengjia Port, they will use Tijuana Group's transport ships to enter the Persian Gulf, which is blockaded by the Persian Three-Series deep-sea mines, under the pretext of "providing supplies to the trapped aircraft carrier in North America," and finally unload at the oil country's Dammam Port.

But this was done extremely discreetly, and currently, not only David of the Tijuana Group, but even the second prince is unaware of it.

Therefore, from the outside perspective, with the support of the three systems, the oil-producing country has become a West Asian economy with independent design and manufacturing capabilities.

If investments are made in all sectors of the oil-producing country, and tens of millions of refugees in West Asia are transformed into cheap labor, the West Asian economy, centered on the oil-producing country and with Persia and Iraq as its resource suppliers, will inevitably backfire on the three-system collectives and Eastern economies that support the construction of the oil-producing country.

Subsequently, it was completely acquired by capital and used as a sharp spearhead to attack the three systems collectively.

Therefore, the successful accession of the oil-producing country to the WTO attracted countless investors to come and investigate.

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Kuwait Investment Authority, Qatar Investment Authority, Dubai Investment Corporation, Mubadala Investment Company…

The Morgan Group, the oil faction, the Brookings family, Wall Street capital, the Mellon Group, the Boston Group, the Cleveland Group…

The Walton family, the bear oligarchs, Royal Capital of England, German official capital, French private capital, South African banks…

In addition, there were also South Korean KS Group, South Korean Hyundai Group, Japanese SoftBank, Japanese Mitsubishi Industries, and Japanese secondhand electronics companies that came to join the fun...

And then there were companies like China Resources, CITIC, China Merchants, Poly, Evergrande, and Wanda, who, having received instructions, rushed to make up the numbers…

It can be said that all the world's top conglomerates gathered in the oil country on this day in early November.

When numerous influential figures arrived in Riyadh, witnessed the holographic projection of "Welcome to 2020," experienced various robot services, learned about many new ultra-high-end brands, and visited the oilfield industrial production line, only one thought remained in their minds.

Invest, invest, invest!
Because only investment can bring returns.

Only through investment can one have the opportunity to acquire these products and technologies.

Because only through investment can one leverage these resources to enhance the value of their brand.

Never thought…

The second prince, who was in charge of the oil country's business system, disregarded the US dollars, euros, and Hong Kong dollars offered by various conglomerates.

“My family has more money than we can spend, and Yu Sanyuan’s crude oil order has been renewed for 30 years. According to the high-priced purchase agreement, he still owes my family nearly 2 trillion US dollars. However, the industries my family owns are unique in the world. You are using my family’s inexhaustible money to buy things that don’t exist in the world. Do you think I’m stupid? I won’t sell.”

Thus, it dragged on for a whole week.

Under pressure from various forces, persuasion from the old king, and an attack by a ruthless gang, the second prince finally relented.

“You can invest in my family’s businesses, but my family is really not short of money. I hope you can contribute your talent, technology, and resources as equity.”

The Japanese and Korean companies that came to join the fun have already had their talent poached to almost nothing; the Eastern companies that came to fill the numbers are always short of talent. Both sides are unwilling to give up, but have no choice but to give up.

This move not only failed to deter other capital, but instead stimulated investment intentions.

With fewer competitors, more can be invested in what remains.

By mid-November.

In terms of investment value, the oil-producing countries have successively received US$3000 billion from West Asian consortia, US$4300 billion from federal capital, €2700 billion from Europe, and US$1100 billion from South Africa.

Then, driven by a massive pool of talent and technology, the oil country established more than 300 high-tech industries and more than 500 industrial projects, continuously promoting ultra-high-speed economic development.

December has arrived.

Resources procured by numerous consortia from around the world are arriving in the oil-producing countries.

Now that the oil-producing countries have talent, technology, capital, and resources, and can recruit refugees from West Asia as cheap labor, their previously empty industrial system has immediately started operating flexibly.

Soon, products bearing the PetroChina logo, under the manipulation of global capital, surpassed SY in both reputation and brand awareness, becoming popular in the high-end market. Driven by strong production capacity, they also became compatible with lower-end brands, encroaching on the three-tier light luxury brands.

12 month 3 number.

Riyadh - the palace of the second prince of the oil country.

The Morgan Group's representatives, Welch and Romney, along with the Smith family's representatives, Buffett and Jeb, the Brooks family's representatives, and the heads of other North American, European, West Asian, and South African financial groups, visited the Second Prince.

In any case, they are all in the 'capital camp', which is naturally opposed to the three groups.

Therefore, limiting the development of the three systems is a consensus that can be reached without communication.

After the meeting.

As the head of federal capital, Welch began, "Your Highness, the oil country's products, from ultra-high-end to high-end to mid-to-high-end, are all available and sell well worldwide."

However, the international market is very limited in size. It's like there's a cake in front of us that everyone has already divided up. You suddenly appear and allow us to invest. For the sake of the profits, we can give up a part of the market. The question is, what about the others?
In particular, the brands we collaborate with highly overlap with the three series, which will inevitably lead to fierce competition between the two sides in the long run.

The second prince seemed to understand but not quite, "You mean?"

"The strength of the three industries is evident to the world, and they are adept at price wars and dumping. If we wait for the other party to react, the three industries will definitely act ruthlessly in order to survive. The brands we have jointly created will probably be reduced to less than one-tenth. Therefore, it is better to strike first and start a commercial war against the three industries' products."

"Everything that the oil-producing countries possess was built with the help of Sanyuan Agriculture. It's ultimately inappropriate to use what they gave us to fight them now."

"Your Highness, the business world is like a battlefield, and there are no fathers or sons on the battlefield."

"But how could we possibly defeat the three factions?"

"If it's just us, or just the oil-producing countries, we definitely can't win. But as long as we cooperate deeply and form an alliance, even if we can't win, we can still take over the West Asian and African markets and cripple the three systems by half."

The second prince, holding the handheld console independently developed and produced by the Petroleum Kingdom with the help of Sanxi Electronics, nodded at the head of the Yu family on the other end of the video call and said with a sigh, "My family is not short of money, nor do we care about making the business bigger and stronger. We only care about whether our family's rule is stable. In terms of commerce, do we really have to fight Sanxi to the death?"

Hearing these heartfelt words, Welch said solemnly, "Your Highness, we will all support you."

The second prince tried his best to feign delight, "Really?"

"Indeed, North America will abandon its support for the Crown Prince, and its future actions in West Asia will also take your advice into consideration."

Welch didn't say much, especially since European capital was present. However, European Judeo capital, English royal capital, and others understood why Welch had made his statement and immediately pledged their support for the second prince.

The second prince finally put aside his worries and revealed a bright smile, "With everyone's help, I believe we can defeat the three systems!"

Welch applauded enthusiastically.

Other forms of capital followed suit.

For a time, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

During the dinner, Jeb, chairman of Carlyle Group, who was also on a video call, proposed forming an "anti-three alliance".

Numerous investors responded positively.

...

Shiliying, North Outer Third Ring Road.

Liaocheng-Dong'e-Qiji Town Sanyuan Pharmacy.

While looking at the six or seven small video windows on the SY handheld screen, Yu Yang was on the phone with the Ice Bear leader.

The accession of oil-producing countries to the WTO was a test of the waters by both sides against the West.

Now that the oil-producing countries have successfully joined the WTO and attracted countless capital to achieve economic take-off, the leader of the Ice Bear is already impatient.

"Yu, the natural gas in Novosibirsk has been explored and divided, and you can arrange for someone to receive it at any time."

"In less than two months, the changes in the oil country have been so great. Everyone can realize the benefits of joining the WTO. The West sees the bear as a tiger, and it is far more difficult than imagined to help the bear join the WTO."

"Yu, are you asking for an exorbitant price?"

"No, I was just venting."

"Yu, oil-producing countries are absorbing European and American capital, which is tantamount to being eroded by capital. Perhaps it won't be long before those capitalists will sideline oil-producing countries and use their industries to deal with you. If the United States joins the WTO, we can form a united front."

"That's what I thought too, but I have nothing in Ice Bear except the Amur Agricultural Reclamation Project."

"I can give you one-fifth of the market."

"With a population of less than 1.5 million, and many of them being alcoholics, how many consumers can there be in a market that is only one-fifth the size of the country?"

"This is my limit, after all, the oligarchs have monopolized everything."

"What about the new oligarch you supported?"

"They betrayed me."

"What great news."

"... "

Ultimately, Yu Yang secured six natural gas pipelines in Novosibirsk and one-fifth of the Bingxiong market. In exchange, Sanyuan Agriculture will then assist Bingxiong in joining the WTO.

Wait until the call ends.

Yu Yang snapped out of his daze and looked at the SY handheld console, which had crashed due to too many small video call windows. Curious about the 'Anti-3 Alliance', he angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"What kind of garbage product is this? Call Zhu Hua over here."

Zhu Hua became the head of Sanyuan Communication Network Equipment Co., Ltd. because of his invention of the Sanyuan Internet Card.

Later, with the widespread adoption of the three-system terminals and the rise of MT Group and Titan Company, the SY handheld console, which followed a light luxury route, gradually declined.

To give Zhu Hua some experience, the factory management team assigned him to be in charge of the SY handheld console.

Normally speaking, the SY handheld console takes a premium approach and caused a global sensation when it was launched, so its performance shouldn't be lagging behind.

However, stimulated by 3G electronics and 3G mobile phones, the global electronics industry has been frequently updated and iterated, with various applications emerging one after another and application functions expanding wildly.

Today, the first-generation customized SY handheld console, with only (8M+8M+8M)+64M of RAM and 512M of built-in video memory, is far behind the times.

Of course, new models of the SY handheld console have definitely been released in recent years.

The problem is, this isn't good for long-term customers.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Hua, who was nearly thirty years old, rushed to the pharmacy's conference room.

"Chairman Yu."

What are the specifications of the latest SY Black Gold Custom Edition handheld console?

Zhu Hua replied without hesitation: "The NPU still uses the Shennong AI micro-client architecture, but it has been optimized and upgraded, and it belongs to the fourth generation."

The CPU uses a third-generation micro-client dedicated SoC synchronous parallel processor, with 6 1200MHz small cores, which is 6 times the computing power of the first generation, and 3 1.6GHz large cores, which is 12 times the computing power of the first generation.

The first generation supported a maximum of 6 small windows, while the new generation S.Y4 can support 12 small windows running simultaneously. It also optimizes the background running mechanism to better avoid accidental killing of background applications and background applications disconnecting from the network.

The GPU uses a 3Dfx micro-client dedicated eight-core Voodoo-Voodoo 8Mali, and the onboard video memory has been increased to 2GB. 10GB of cloud storage is included free with the purchase.

The RAM uses Yangtze Memory's third-generation memory chips, with 128MB of dedicated memory for eight graphics memory modules and a large 1GB dedicated memory module for the CPU.

The screen resolution is increased to 1080P. When overclocking, a pseudo-2K resolution can be achieved through dithering technology, but this is only used for playing videos.

The baseband uses a fourth-generation tri-channel RF chip with a speed of 0~128Mb/s. In addition to the first-generation built-in tri-channel decoding, tri-channel communication control, tri-channel modulation and encoding, and various encrypted firmware, it also incorporates tri-channel AI frequency modulation, supporting 'multi-channel integration' in public places, avoiding temporary network outages when switching from home to public networks.

In addition, due to the cooperation with Sanmei Electronics, Qualcomm RF CMOS process was added, resulting in 65-nanometer RF chips - MSM6800 and MSM6280, with a frequency band of 800MHz-2.4GHz and a data rate of 11Mb/s.

Currently, the SY Black Gold Custom Edition handheld console remains a mainstream business device in the high-end market. However, due to limitations imposed by capital competition and the influence of companies like Orange Technology, Obi (which uses Android), and overseas brands that integrate mobile phone resources, its global sales are less than one-fifth of the first generation.

Sales of SY laptops and SY conference screens have declined year by year, and even upgrades in configuration have not helped.

After Zhu Hua finished speaking, he hesitated slightly, "Also, Qualcomm is accelerating the development of Snapdragon series SoCs that integrate RF front-end functions, which are expected to be launched on the market within two years. If the SY series does not undergo a revolutionary improvement by then, its sales may decline significantly."

Yu Yang knew that the more brands his company supported, the greater the market competitiveness. Under the premise of treating everyone equally, the once dominant SY handheld console would inevitably fall from its pedestal and then have its survival space continuously squeezed.

But to provoke Zhu Hua, he still rebuked him: "You are in charge of this brand, you lead the development of SY, and you hold the exclusive license for Sanyuan Communication Network Equipment. I can't think of any reason why you lost to Qualcomm."

Zhu Hua was sweating profusely. "Chairman Yu, give me two months, and I guarantee I'll regain a portion of the market."

"Oil-producing countries have joined the WTO and attracted investment from Europe and the United States. At most, a luxury mobile phone from an oil-producing country will be launched. You only have one month."

"Please enlighten me, Chairman Yu."

"The entry of the oil-producing countries into the WTO has stimulated the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation will actively join the WTO, and we will also help the Russian Federation. However, our apparent investment in the Russian Federation is only in Amur State Farms. Perhaps you can cooperate with the Russian Federation to allow SY to enter the Russian Federation market, and in the future, it will no longer be limited to light luxury, but will want high-end, mid-range and low-end products."

"Ok!"

After Zhu Hua left.

Yu Yang restarts the SY handheld console, and the Second Prince sends out the motto of the 'Anti-3 Alliance'.

It's simply a matter of competing globally to reduce the market share of the three product lines.

"I understand, it's a business war."
