Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Filled with resentment and humiliation, Qiao Busi left. Five percent of the shares wasn't much, but it meant that Loongson had already extended its reach into Apple's mobile phone business! Moreover, this shareholding already qualified him for a seat on the board of directors. From now on, if Qiao Busi wanted to get involved in the chip industry again, Loongson would stand up and oppose him!

Apple, just be a good employee in the East. Want to start your own business? No way!

They had no choice. If the company went bankrupt, Qiao Busi, the major shareholder, would also suffer heavy losses, and the other shareholders would not let Qiao Busi go!

After seeing Qiao Busi downstairs, Old Ni walked back happily. As soon as he returned to his office, he saw someone sitting in his chair.

"Mr. Qin!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Ni, you did a great job. As the head of the world's most advanced semiconductor company, you have to have this kind of domineering presence!"

Mr. Ni shook his head: "President Qin, this was all your idea. I was just giving orders according to your instructions."

"Well, this way, Apple will obediently listen to us, and won't keep trying to go independent. Has anything major happened in our chip industry lately?"

"No." Mr. Ni suddenly remembered something: "By the way, President Qin, the development of artificial intelligence has begun to show results. We have already developed the first model."

With massive computing power, it can be used not only for mining but also for artificial intelligence! Bitcoin has little to do besides reaping global wealth, but artificial intelligence is different; it can truly change the future!

"Really? That's great! Let me see!"

Mr. Ni turned on his computer and went to a certain webpage.

"This is a webpage we use for internal testing. Now, you can enter your questions here and see the answers provided by artificial intelligence."

Qin Chuan typed with great interest: What is the future of Laiyang Group?

An ellipsis appeared on the screen, indicating that the computer was thinking. Soon, characters started appearing one by one.

Laiyang Group is the largest enterprise in the East, ranking first in many industries. Within the next ten years, Laiyang Group could develop into the world's number one giant...

Professor Ni was very satisfied with this answer. It seemed that his artificial intelligence model was indeed very intelligent.

Qin Chuan continued typing: Expand on the following passage: An old lady leans against the wall and drinks thin porridge.

This will happen very quickly.

As the sun sets, its rays bathe the earth, illuminating a small courtyard...

The description is quite good, and the writing is excellent. However, this passage, piled up with flowery language, feels somewhat different from normal speech. If I had to pinpoint a reason, it would be... it lacks soul!

That's right, what's written using this kind of artificial intelligence is soulless. It can be written beautifully, but it doesn't tell a good story.

So, writers shouldn't be worried about this causing them to lose their jobs in the short term, right?

dong dong!

A secretary walked in: "President Ni, President Qin?"

"what's up?"

"Based on our tracking, we have determined that a large portion of the graphics cards have flowed to India."

Ah San?

Qin Chuan also became interested: "Are the Indians going to develop the Bitcoin industry too?"

"It's probably for the convenience of mining," Old Ni said. "The biggest advantage of India is its cheap electricity."

As a developing country, India's power infrastructure is very backward. Just look at the rows of utility poles on the streets of India, which are haphazardly crisscrossed like a spider web. Fortunately, India has a lot of electricians who can help check the circuits and tell if they are good or bad just by touching them.

However, electricity prices in India are very cheap, only 38 cents in Chinese yuan. You should know that electricity in China costs 50 cents, which makes the electricity company complain of losing money every day! Industrial electricity has even risen to one or two yuan.

For mining, mining machines are the first investment, and electricity is the second huge expense. Mining owners would search all over the world for the cheapest electricity. In the later years, when the East did not manage this industry, mining owners would usually install mining machines in the deep mountains.

Is electricity cheap in the mountains?

Without other conditions, electricity supply in the mountains is even more complicated, requiring power lines to be brought in from outside, crossing mountains and valleys. This is where the advantages of state-owned enterprises come into play. If it were a capital-controlled power plant like those in the West, it wouldn't be cost-effective to bring power lines over, so they simply wouldn't. In our country, with just one word, any village, no matter how remote, would have to have a power line!

Where there are mountains, there is often water. Therefore, hydroelectric power stations can be built in mountainous areas. It is not easy to bring in electricity from outside, nor is it easy to send out electricity from inside!

Therefore, if you place the mining machine next to a hydroelectric power station, it will be very cheap to purchase electricity directly from the site, possibly as low as one cent per kilowatt-hour. Since it can't be used anyway, it will be a waste.

Mining machine owners have a keen eye and can always find the place with the cheapest electricity!

Now, they've discovered this place called India!

India ranks fourth among the top ten countries with the cheapest electricity in the world! The top three are too small to supply enough electricity, so India has become their best choice.

However, no one knows that while Loongson claimed to be responding to the national call and refusing to provide hardware for mining machines, it was actually tracing the hardware it sold downstream to see where it ended up.

They really didn't notice the Indians!

"President Qin, how should we handle this matter?"

"Of course we'll just sit idly by, and even secretly support them."

"What?"

For a country, electricity supply is extremely important! After all, electricity is an essential energy source for modern industry. India is already a backward country with a severe shortage of electricity. If they engage in mining operations that consume large amounts of electricity, it will naturally weaken their industrial development!

If the Indians want to mine, then let them mine!

Old Ni first looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously, then seemed to realize something, his expression becoming complicated.

"Oh, I see."

The secretary didn't leave.

"Anything else?"

"Also, a new type of digital currency called Dogecoin has just appeared online."

Scammers exist all over the world, and they are always looking for projects suitable for fraud. When Bitcoin suddenly appeared, scammers were immediately stunned. They realized that they could package their scams as such a high-tech project! Naturally, they would try to create a similar project, and that's how Dogecoin came about!

"Hmph, trying to learn from us? We have to suppress them!" Qin Chuan said, "Find the masterminds behind this, and then... kill them!"
