Chapter 188 Unrequited, Blockade and Suppression
“Shet!”
Stephen Roach couldn’t help but curse on the spot. He didn’t expect that he would deign to visit with a US$10 trillion consortium, and he was not even qualified to meet Lu An.
Such a luxurious lineup would be welcomed with super high standards in any country in the world.
It would be a real loss of face if you couldn't even see him in person.
He did not give up, including several major Wall Street financial groups who came together, and continued to send people to communicate with the people of Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
However, the reply given by Metaverse Intelligent Control is this: If it is a customer, then Lu An can meet even the smallest customer, but Stephen Roach and his team are an investment team, so this has nothing to do with Metaverse Intelligent Control. Metaverse Intelligent Control sells products, so it only meets customers who buy products.
One sentence is: Missing!
After confirming again that Lu An refused to meet, Stephen Roach and the Wall Street consortium who came with him could only give up with curses.
They broke up immediately and went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. Otherwise, what could we do?
At the moment, domestic and foreign media are paying attention to this meeting.
On the afternoon of the next day, news came out that Lu An refused to meet, and even the executives of Metaverse Intelligent Control did not come forward to meet. This shocked the outside media and people from all walks of life who paid attention to the matter.
There are different opinions from the outside world as to whether the negotiations can achieve any actual results, but they have not seen it in person. This is really something that the outside world did not expect at all.
Two days later, Stephen Roach, who returned to Beijing Magnesium, was interviewed by a reporter from the New York Times.
His failure in this trip made him really angry, but he still concealed it well in front of the camera.
"Wall Street valued Metaverse at US$3 trillion. Lu An missed out on US$3 trillion, and he will definitely regret it." Stephen Roach ended the interview with these final words.
At the same time, in a conference room in a skyscraper in Manhattan.
After several capital consortiums returned to Beijing Magnesium, they gathered together again. They had only one agenda, to launch an encirclement and suppression of Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
Since Lu An refused to share the benefits and not let them get on the bus, this meeting was a disappointment. They no longer had any illusions and were determined to work together to encircle and suppress them. There was no way they could just watch and remain indifferent.
At this time, Colton looked at the thick briefing in front of him. There was no relaxed expression on his face, he only felt extremely difficult and helpless.
But the report still had to be done. He projected a detailed report onto the main screen of the meeting, pushed up his glasses and said: "Gentlemen, although I don't want to say this, the result is tearful."
Pouring cold water on the conglomerates present, Colton went on to say: "The products of Metaverse Intelligent Control do not rely on OMG technically. Taking the company's humanoid robot as an example, it starts from the lowest level of materials, chips, and architecture to the upper level. The software and algorithms have formed a complete and highly vertically integrated ecosystem. "
One of the consortium giants participating in the meeting said: "What do you mean? Doesn't this use chips? Then start with the chips and limit the supply of chips."
Colton said helplessly: "Mr. William, the chip used by their humanoid robot is not the highest-end chip, but a 28-nanometer process chip. We cannot kill it by restricting EDA software, photolithography machines or high-end chips."
William Burns immediately wondered: "Can such an advanced robot be driven without the most advanced chips?"
This consortium tycoon is obviously not very professional in technology. He feels that such an advanced product must use the most advanced technical components.
Colton was silent for a moment, thinking about how to explain these words in an easy-to-understand way.
After a moment, Colton, who had organized his words, immediately said: "Let's put it this way, a smartphone is only the size of a palm. To obtain higher performance, the chip needs to be smaller and have greater integration capabilities in a limited space, so the most advanced process needs to be used."
“But the size of their smallest humanoid robot is equivalent to the sum of 800 to 1,000 smartphones, and the armed robot can be as large as the sum of 3,000 smartphones. With the support of huge space resources, it means that it can be moved even without using the most advanced chips.”
Colton immediately lowered his head and looked at it. He flipped through the materials on the table for a few times, raised his hand to use the tactical mirror, and then said: "The report shows that the Xiaoyuan robot under Metaverse Intelligent Control is equipped with a 28-nanometer process chip." At this point, he paused for a moment, looked around the crowd and added: "Gentlemen, Hua Guo has mastered 28 nanometers from around 2015 to 2016.
Nano chip technology has become mature for mass production. 》
SMIC began research and development of the 28nm process around 2013, and officially announced in 2015 that the 28nm process had entered the mass production stage, becoming the first domestic foundry to achieve mass production of 28nm wafers.
Some key equipment such as photolithography machines still need to be imported, and the independence of the entire industry chain has not yet been achieved.
But these equipment are not the most advanced, so there are not many restrictions on Ohmagnesia. Even if all sales are banned, the existing equipment can still produce wafers.
At this moment, another participant asked with a livid face, unwillingly: "What about other parts? There are so many parts, some of them require special machine tools and special materials, right? Can we always find some?"
Colton immediately said: "According to Metaverse's official statement, their products have achieved 100% autonomy and do not need to rely on imports."
At this time, William Burns interrupted him: "Nonsense. They had previously signed a US$5 billion order contract with 4DRealm. After hearing this, Colton waved his hands and said, "This order may be for them. new products, but for the products they have already put on the market, there is indeed no record of importing relevant components from overseas."
Then, Colton added: "This is not the key yet. The biggest problem now is that we still can't get complete information about what are some of the core components of Metaverse Intelligent Control's humanoid robot products."
When he said this, his tone contained a hint of frustration that he felt was ridiculous but had to admit.
That's right, the core components of the Xiaoyuan robot cannot be "opened". The anti-theft technology is too good. When violently dismantling it from the outside, the precision components inside will be melted into waste.
Colton said helplessly: "Facing an opponent that hardly relies on any of our key technologies, our best and most effective technical blockade method is ineffective against Yuanjie intelligence control!"
His words fell, and the conference room fell into silence, and no one spoke.
· With the "unlockable" physique of Yuanjie Intelligent Control, the predators are almost numb, and they will worry as much as they want.
William Burns looked around at the crowd and said: "No matter what, we cannot sit still and wait for death. At least we must curb his development speed and momentum to buy time for our corporate scientific research institutions. We must not let him grow and expand so comfortably!"
On the other hand, Stephen Roach's interview was also reported by the media. The title of the New York Times article directly quoted his words in the interview: "Lu An missed US$3 trillion, and he will definitely regret it."
The news quickly traveled across the ocean, and mainland media quoted the report one after another.
Stephen Roach’s interview caused a huge sensation in the country, and the attention of people from all walks of life in the country was focused on the astronomical figure of 3 trillion U.S. dollars in valuation of Metaverse Intelligent Control by the Wall Street consortium.
This number caused countless people to exclaim.
It is valued at US$3 trillion, which is approximately RMB 20.52 trillion at the current exchange rate.
What is this concept? Equivalent to a quarter of the country's GDP last year, Wall Street's capital consortium is so optimistic about Metaverse Intelligent Control.
This is something that many people in the mainland did not expect.
Apple’s latest market capitalization is only over US$760 billion, firmly ranking as the world’s largest listed company.
In other words, in the eyes of the Wall Street consortium, the value of Metaverse is equal to the combined market value of almost four Apple companies.
