the world is at stake

After starting the pickup truck and driving on the road, Zhou Qingfeng said naturally without consulting the three women, "Let me take you to see the vocational technical school of 'Shengguang', there is one in Changping."

The three sisters usually go to the celebrity places with feasting and feasting, who will take them to see the technical school?

Zhou Qingfeng, on the other hand, was driving while talking about the talent cultivation strategy of 'Holy Light', as if he was describing the most magnificent suits at Paris Fashion Week, or explaining the nobility of freedom and civil rights under the Capitol Hill of the Yankees.

But in fact, what Uncle Zhou said was the most corny thing.

"China is still a very poor country. Why is it poor? Because there are not so many high-paying jobs. Why are there so few high-paying jobs? Because there are not enough high-end industrial chains, because there are not enough talents."

"Many people pay attention to the theory of blood and fatalism. They think that the reason why the poor are poor is not working hard enough, and the powerful and powerful are all through their own struggle. I scoff at such remarks."

"I just want to prove that as long as a child in a poor mountain valley can receive education, get enough social resources and development space, he can also lead the country's future."

"A nation that shouted out more than 2000 years ago that 'princes, generals, and relatives have a kind' should not believe in such a nihilistic thing as fate. Believers in communism should not be blinded by wind and snow, and should pay more attention to science and development."

Li Xuxian was stunned listening in the backseat. He never expected that the guy who played like a duck with three rich women last night changed into a "success lecturer" and talked about the future of China to the always arrogant Koreans.

Turning his head to look at Li Yinxin who was also in the back seat, Li Xuxian found that his little sister, who had always been rebellious, listened with great interest.Although the elder sister in the passenger seat wasn't listening, she wasn't disgusted either.

This is very amazing. It can only be said that success depends on who speaks. People who are truly successful are definitely more popular.

After driving for half an hour, the pickup truck drove into the Changping Branch of the 'Shengguang' Vocational Technical School, a super 'private technical school' covering an area of ​​over 2 acres and having more than [-] teachers and students.

There are more than [-] technical schools of this kind across the country, all over the provinces.

This should be the most wonderful "technical school" in China, because it has junior high school and high school plus vocational education.It is a technical school in name, but it is actually a university with an attached high school.

It has a privilege—the Ministry of Education has to pay 500% of its school-running expenses, which is more than [-] billion yuan a year.Special approval for 'engaging in party and government'.

This school is run by 'Holy Light' with great efforts.It mainly recruits children from poor families, left-behind children, and children of migrant workers, and the tuition is very cheap.

In addition to domestic students, 'Shengguang' Technical School also has a certain number of international students every year, basically girls from Southeast Asia and Central Asia, who must learn Chinese in advance.

Other schools pay tuition fees at the beginning of the semester, and it collects tuition fees after the final exam.Those with poor grades will be charged double, and those with good grades will receive scholarships, and you may even earn money after studying for a year.

Just such a wonderful "technical school" that has opened branch schools across the country has become a shortcut for many low-level families to get a jump in the class.Every summer registration is hot, and the number of students is increasing every year.

Because of its wide entry and strict exit, small age limit, paramilitary management, various teaching modes, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.After graduating with a good study, you can get a high salary within the 'Shengguang' Group, which is no worse than those who graduated from a genuine university.

For example, the tobacco industry can recruit PhDs and masters as assembly line workers. As long as they can make money, talents will naturally gather.

When they found out that the 'Shengguang' technical school could provide jobs and high salaries for students, many parents would forge certificates from poor families just to send their children to receive education.

But Zhou Qingfeng didn't brag about how his technical school could change the fate of ordinary people.He took the three sisters to the scientific research department of the technical school to present the project team of smart urban transportation.

"This is a technical school?" Walking into the building where the project team is located, even Li Fuzhen felt that it was outrageous—whose technical school is equipped with supercomputers?But this one has it.

"Our technical school is responsible for the group's scientific research tasks." Zhou Qingfeng took it for granted, "Currently the project team needs to build a city model and use supercomputers to deduce how intelligent transportation works to be safer and more reliable."

In the eyes of ordinary people, the great thing about technical schools is that they train skilled workers.Unscrupulous technical schools simply give money to diplomas, or send students as cheap labor to garbage factories as internships.

On the one hand, the country's industrial development really needs highly skilled workers, and on the other hand, vocational education has become a neighborhood where bad guys live, and learning is worthless.

The 'Holy Light' technical school was established to change this situation, and the solution is to give money—no matter how important the leadership is, it is not as meaningful as more financial allocations.

In the scientific research building of Changping Branch, a whole row of supercomputer cabinets is lit with LED lights in a constant temperature and humidity air-conditioned room.The rest area is separated from the supercomputer by transparent glass, and the three sisters sit in it, which is quite sci-fi.

There are men and women, Asians and Europeans.

Everyone communicated in English with refreshments or coffee. They were not discussing urban information management under big data, or the impact of drones on future logistics. At worst, they were incomprehensible data modeling.

The other side of the rest area is also a large floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can see the open campus. The campus with more than 2 teachers and students is fairly average, but the scene in front of me is particularly academic.

In this kind of place where the future life of human beings is studied, if you talk about beauty, cosmetics, and media gossip, it will appear very vulgar and impossible to communicate.

The three sisters all felt a little short sitting in it, and they didn't know how to speak.

But after Zhou Qingfeng sat down, someone asked the president to comment on the topics they were arguing with each other.He doesn't answer many professional questions, but his conceptual ideas are always thought-provoking.

For example, for cars in intelligent transportation...

"We have made mobile phones intelligent, why can't we further make cars intelligent?"

"Smart cities must be information-based, and information can be obtained through the network anytime and anywhere. Cars can also be a piece of network equipment."

"China is about to roll out 3G network construction. When do you think 4G will come? What will 5G look like? Maybe in the future, the bandwidth will be large enough and IP addresses will be enough to realize the Internet of Everything?"

Fighting may not necessarily win, but Zhou Qingfeng has never lost if he is bragging.

Li Fuzhen was greatly inspired after listening for a while, and felt that he should call all those guys from the 'Samsung' strategic planning office, and let Zhou Qingfeng teach them a lesson.

Sea navigation depends on the helmsman, and the CEO of 'Shengguang' has done a good job as the helmsman.He never interfered with the practice of the R&D department, except for giving money and pointing out the direction of development.

For a super enterprise like 'Shengguang', the most fearful thing is to make mistakes in the direction of development.If the development direction is pointed well, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Otherwise, it is the 'Nokia' of the smart machine era. Once the route is wrong, the harder you work, the more you will suffer.How successful before, how failed later.

Compared with last night's drinking and playing, Zhou Qingfeng, who talked about future development, is full of charm - not only is his body super good, but his mind also looks super good!

The really cute little mouth is drooling, and I can't control my legs.

Chapter 17 Breakthrough

Washington, D.C., U.S. Capitol.

Bush Jr. announced his new foreign policy in the congressional questioning—in the absence of the '911' incident and the absence of preparations for entering the Middle East, a series of tough policies toward China were introduced one after another.

In the name of dumping, punitive tariffs have been imposed on imports from China; in the name of national security, long-arm jurisdiction has been imposed on many Chinese companies; in the name of threatening the free and democratic world, China has been stigmatized.

"This routine is nothing new and not unfamiliar at all."

Marcos, as a candidate for the Republican Senate, was specially invited to sit with media reporters.He changed his image of a reckless hero in the past, with gelled hair and a suit, looking like a civilized gentleman.

Many senators and representatives in Congress raised questions to the president, with some opposing and some agreeing.

In general, China, which has always been weak and poor, has suddenly jumped to the second place in the world. This has indeed made the entire Western world feel uneasy and feel that its values ​​are being shaken.

The containment strategy is this restless stress response, which is hard to avoid.

Marcus hopes to take advantage of this unease.Now that the 2002 congressional mid-term elections are in full swing, he should be able to become a senator by the end of the year through the internal operation of the "brotherhood", and his status is not low.

Now... the media's focus is on the sudden trade dispute between China and the United States.Now global public opinion is not optimistic about China, believing that its economy will inevitably suffer heavy losses under the suppression of the United States.

The best outcome is that China's economy has been stagnant for a long time like Japan, but most economists believe that China is most likely to be 'Latin American' - the gap between rich and poor is widening, cities are full of slums, and vicious cases such as drug trafficking and prostitution are frequent .

Zhang Jiadun's "China Collapse Theory" has become popular again. This "China expert" who doesn't understand China at all has revised his prediction - in 2003, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, another red empire will collapse.

Now not only the international public opinion is gloating, but the Chinese domestic public opinion is also panicking. The argument of "kneeling and surrendering" abounds, and "fast forward eight years" has not been able to clean up the public knowledge group.

Marcos sat in the corner of the congressional seat, experiencing the taste of power in advance.O'Sullivan, who became his deputy, approached quietly and whispered: "There is something worth noting about China."

Marco immediately left the meeting and followed O'Sullivan out of the Capitol.The two chose to have a confidential conversation in a car.

O'Sullivan opened the video and hundreds of pictures on the computer, and said in a deep voice, "The 'Sacred Light' team made the iPhone."

The video was streamed from a delegation of South Korean entrepreneurs, and the pictures were photos of the dismantling of the iPhone body. The technicians were eager to understand the components and cost of the device.

"'Sacred Light' is demonstrating to us, and the Korean business community is shocked by this product, and is greatly shaken by the cooperation intention proposed by the Chinese side.

We are trying to stabilize Koreans as much as possible, but once this product is launched on a large scale, its huge profitability and product image will cause us great trouble. "

O'Sullivan was worried.

Koreans currently only know that the iPhone is a revolutionary product, but they have no specific experience of its ability to conquer cities in the electronics market.

The 'Brotherhood' gang knows that. Once the iPhone came out, 'Apple's' profitability was in full swing.The global high-end mobile phone market was crushed by Jobs.

In 2017, a market analysis company released a report saying that 'Apple' sold nearly 12 billion iPhones in ten years and earned $7380 billion in revenue.

Now this sharp weapon that broke the market was actually made by the Chinese in advance.Not only the 'Brotherhood' was caught off guard by this, even the other chosen forces were also deeply overwhelmed.

Marcos realized the seriousness of the problem. Such a "money printing machine" product cannot be controlled by the Chinese only, and must be suppressed immediately.

"'Holy Light' can produce all the parts of the iPhone? Is there a channel for us to block its production?" Marcos thought of Trump's method of suppressing Huawei.

O'Sullivan shook his head, "The Koreans said that 'Sacred Light' clearly stated that they could produce iPhones entirely by themselves. Engineering personnel are verifying this statement, but I think it is likely to be true.

The last space-time countercurrent was in 2016, and Zhou Qingfeng focused on the semiconductor industry.Going back to 2000 this time, he also strengthened investment in this area.After the reward of 'fast forward eight years', all shortcomings should have been filled. "

Thinking of 'fast forward eight years', Marcos hated Father Clark who died in his hands.That idiot sees God for leaving such a bad situation behind.

"Since the production of 'Holy Light' cannot be stopped, can we produce it ourselves to seize the market?" Marco asked again.

O'Sullivan shrugged, "It is necessary to find a professional for consultation. I think it is possible in theory. But the Koreans who reported the news are not optimistic."

"Why? Are there patent barriers?"

"Patents are one aspect."

"We can ignore patents."

"The key is production capacity. Most of the world's mobile phone production capacity is in China. In the past, the vast majority of 'Apple' iPhones were produced in China."

"We can support Koreans to produce."

"But Korean smartphones have been produced in China for a long time."

"I remember 'Samsung' didn't move their mobile phone production line to Vietnam?"

“That was Vietnam 20 years later. The infrastructure of Vietnam today is extremely weak. Electricity, roads, ports, workers, nothing.

Even if 'Samsung' is forced by us to open a factory in Vietnam.After the factory building is completed and the training of workers is completed, it is estimated that the second and third generations of iPhones of 'Holy Light' will come out.God knows what the world will be like then? "

Oops, this gets tricky!

President Bush Jr. still vowed in Congress to use trade sanctions to make China abide by the rules and stop harming American commercial interests, but the interests of the United States may be greatly damaged in the future.

Even if the United States has sanctioned 'Holy Light' and its president Zhou Qingfeng, people still know how to use iPhones if they should, and they should still be really fragrant.

In Western societies that emphasize consumption and enjoyment, no one would reject smartphones.The blockade will only lead to rampant smuggling.

O'Sullivan is even more pessimistic, "We have a preliminary judgment that in the next three years, 'Holy Light' will monopolize the smartphone market. The only constraint is its own production capacity.

But a worse situation has emerged. The Koreans are trying their best to collect the current semiconductor production capacity and finished product production capacity of "Holy Light", and found that the entire electronics industry in China is engaged in a mobilized industrial upgrade.

'Shengguang' has an electronic product industrial park with more than 30 employees in Henan. The South Korean side found that this industrial park is rapidly expanding. The goal is to double the number of employees and production lines to [-].

In addition, there is more than one such giant industrial park in China, and the Koreans say that there are at least four more.

Zhou Qingfeng completely copied the supply chain management of 'Apple' and refined the links.Its domestic banks have provided tens of billions of dollars in loans to ensure the production of key spare parts such as screens, chips, memory, and batteries.

In addition, 'Sacred Light' also decided to purchase spare parts from Japanese and Korean companies, which solved a big problem of production capacity.It is difficult for us to ban it, because banning does not work either. "

The idea of ​​competing with China in production capacity is insane.

O'Sullivan sighed while talking, "The only good news now is that 'Shengguang' took out the iPhone to win over the Korean side. It will be half a year before they complete the upgrade of the production line and officially launch the product."

Ma Keshi glanced at his companion and understood that if he couldn't stop the 'Holy Light' within half a year, he wouldn't need to stop after half a year.The whole world will be overwhelmed by the wave of iPhones, and the United States is no exception.

Considering that competitors will not exist for a long time, the iPhone of 'Holy Light' may be more successful than that of 'Apple'.

Meanwhile, in Seoul, South Korea, 'Samsung' headquarters.

In the spacious president's office, two or three technical directors and seven or eight senior engineers are gathered around a workbench, sweating profusely from work.

Li Jianxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office with a sullen face, looking at the iPhone that had just been delivered by plane from China for a while, and looking up at the erratic clouds outside the window.

When China invites South Korean entrepreneurs to visit, it is indispensable to invite the chairman of 'Samsung'.But Li Jianxi put on airs, he refused to move his buttocks, and only let his son go.

The Chinese side is more generous, giving an iPhone as a gift, and Li Jianxi's share will not be missing, and Li Zairong is entrusted to forward it on his behalf.As soon as you give it away, you will get two sets, and it is clear-one is for you to use, and the other is for you to disassemble.

Before the mobile phone arrived, Li Zairong called back and informed Li Jianxi of the status of the negotiations with the Chinese side, plus the shock brought by the iPhone.

Just listening to the phone, Li Jianxi can hardly imagine what good things 'Shengguang' has come up with.

But the flight from Imperial Capital is only a few hours away from Seoul.After seeing the real thing, the entire 'Samsung' executives were collectively dumbfounded - the sci-fi feel of the touch screen is too strong.

Thinking deeper, this thing can kill 'Samsung Electronics'!

It's like when the "Dreadnought" came out, it was immediately announced that all the "Iron Kings" built with a lot of money in the "pre-Dreadnought" era were all eliminated.

A group of executives from the strategic planning office of 'Samsung' collectively resigned to the chairman, saying that because of their carelessness and negligence, the consortium suddenly faced such a predicament during the rising period of its career.

The executive responsible for the collection of scientific and technological intelligence was almost suspected of being an insider, because 'Samsung' was unaware of such a big move by 'Holy Light' and fell into a great passivity.

Li Jianxi said nothing at the moment, neither accepting the resignation of the management, nor saying who is responsible.He stood in front of the glass window and waited for a result.

Wait for the engineering staff to find out what spare parts are included in an iPhone, wait for the patent search personnel to find out the hundreds of thousands of patented technologies that 'Shengguang' has applied for in South Korea in the past two years, and wait for 'Samsung' to be able to produce smartphones by itself .

Li Jianxi has heard about the fact that 'Holy Light' has applied for a huge number of patents around the world in the past two years.The Korean Patent Office has been in a hurry for a while.Some patents have not yet been reviewed.

But without waiting for the results from 'Samsung', the president's secretariat rushed over and delivered a stack of thick printed documents.The beginning is a fax sent by the president of 'Shengguang' to the chairman of 'Samsung' Li Kunxi.

The fax is written in Chinese, and the translation roughly reads:

"Guess President Li is really dismantling our company's products. Don't be so tired, I will send you the BOM of the product bill of materials, just look at it directly. In addition, there are patent technology numbers involved in the product for inquiries .”

Li Jianxi was angry when he learned about it, and cursed angrily: "How did 'Shengguang' know that we were dismantling the phone?"
