As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 341 Operators in Collusion
Li Miaomiao frowned and sighed, "Alas, perhaps this is another form of the saying that with great power comes great responsibility."

As Li Miaomiao spoke, she typed on her phone: I can only tell you that our virtual reality technology is more realistic than anything currently expected on the market.

Li Miaomiao handed it to Li Shuyao to read, then deleted the words on the phone one by one and made a silent expression.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to tell Li Shuyao, because Ke Chuang Bio has already held an internal meeting and talked to these executives about the level of virtual reality technology.

What these executives know is no different from what the outside world knows.

The message is passed on layer by layer, but it is impossible to stop the message from being passed on.

It’s just that the Chinese government hopes to take this opportunity to find out some moles among the senior executives of Ke Chuang Biotechnology.

So Li Miaomiao needs to cooperate with their work, and it is not convenient to tell Li Shuyao directly.

After so many years, Li Miaomiao doesn't mind giving Li Shuyao some convenience.

Valuable information and some networking opportunities.

People always grow. Compared with ten years ago, Li Miaomiao is more tactful and not as sharp as before, both in management and in daily interpersonal relationships.

Because of Zheng Li's support, Li Miaomiao has a unique persistence on key issues.

Li Shuyao nodded, then changed the subject and said, "The work pressure has been too great recently.

Everyone in the market is like a headless fly, and no one knows what kind of company has the so-called moat.

Although I came here from Shenhai, I had been on a business trip before.

We visit high-quality companies everywhere to conduct research.

It's not just us. As far as I know, all fund managers are doing crazy research.

Moreover, every time I visit a company, during the question-and-answer session, the first sentence I ask is: Hello, Chairman XX, what impact do you think the virtual reality of Ke Chuang Biotechnology may have on your company?

For example, Moutai. If the virtual reality world allows people to experience the same feeling of Moutai liquor in the virtual world as in the real world, you can even choose how drunk you want.

Is there still a market for Moutai? Or in the virtual world, will people continue to recognize the brand value of Moutai?

This is the case for Moutai, a company that we used to believe had an absolute moat, let alone other companies.

The fluctuations in the entire market are not severe enough now. Everyone is waiting for the launch of Ke Chuang Bio's virtual reality products, and only then will the entire market be truly and thoroughly revalued.

This is just a preview of what’s to come.”

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that someone already knows the actual effect of our virtual reality equipment?

It is these people who know that their actions have caused drastic fluctuations in the entire capital market."

Li Shuyao: “Yes, because only state-owned capital can stir up such a big storm.

Foreign capital is following Chinese capital in making a strategic contraction.

The resonance of domestic and foreign capital markets jointly induced the occurrence of this tsunami.”

Li Miaomiao: "Yes, for products of this level, we definitely need to communicate with the Chinese government."

Li Shuyao expressed her understanding: "Of course, this can be seen from the adjustments made by the social security fund, medical insurance fund and the chip fund.

Alas, it is impossible for us to blindly follow these funds, because the information you get is always lagging.

If you want to make a profit, you need to think for yourself.

My problem now is that I don’t even know the direction.”

Li Miaomiao reminded: "IP, whether it is the previous television era, the film and television era, or the later Internet era, IP is always valuable.

The more classic the IP, the more valuable it is.

Even in the virtual world, IP is still valuable, or even more valuable.

IP loses its value unless the copyright protection mechanism that human society has worked so hard to build becomes ineffective.

It is almost impossible for copyright protection mechanisms to fail.”

Li Shuyao: “In fact, we are also aware of this.

It is precisely because Tencent holds so many IPs that its valuation has not fallen as much as Ali.

However, there are very few domestic IPs that are truly valuable.

I have a general idea.

It’s not easy to work nowadays. The valuations of good companies on the market are all out of control.

I don't think highly of ordinary companies.

It is safer to hold Kechuang Biotechnology. I like this kind of stable happiness. "

The way institutions play the game is different from that of hot money. Institutions need to consider the fundamentals and prices of the company when entering the market, but hot money does not need to do so. They only need to consider whether the sentiment is in place.

“The three of you are big names in the communications industry. Kechuang Bio’s request is very simple. As long as they agree to our request, any company will do.

We will give subsequent management rights of the biological communication tree to various companies.”

Li Shuyao is enjoying her rare holiday, while Li Miaomiao needs to meet with the chairmen of China's three major operators.

Let’s talk about which manufacturer the biological communication tree should be operated by.

Although China has only opened up access to the Gusu area now, everyone knows that it is a major trend for the entire China to open up bio-communication equipment in the future.

As long as virtual reality devices do not pose a threat to human health, the subsequent advancement will only get faster and faster.

Whether it is 3G or 4G, the three major operators are very aware of the first-mover advantage.

Therefore, even if it is just the operating rights of the Suzhou area, they hope to do their best to obtain it.

Moreover, before coming to Gusu, they were told not to ask questions that were not necessary.

After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, the AR device in the reception room automatically projected a biological communication tree on the open space in the middle, and the 3D light and shadow effects were very realistic.

Augmented reality devices will be fully available in 2031, and some companies with a little bit of strength will equip their conference rooms with similar devices.

Although remote work is a trend, for large enterprises, there are still some meetings that need to be held offline.

Augmented reality is the perfect way to show off.

However, the rapid popularization of AR in recent years has caused the pretentiousness of this thing to plummet.

"Mr. Li, I would like to ask, what is the charging method for our cooperation?"

Li Miaomiao replied: "You can think of Kechuang Biotechnology as a hardware vendor. We not only buy the seedlings of the virtual biological tree, but also the subsequent culture medium and cultivation guidance.

Another thing is that virtual reality devices definitely cannot be charged based on traffic volume, as the data interaction involved is far beyond what VR can match.

Moreover, virtual reality devices use biological computer technology, and the statistics of data volume are also different from traditional Internet data calculations.

So our idea is to pay according to monthly or annual rent, for example, how much does it cost to connect to the Internet for one month, and then there can be appropriate discounts for one year.

The specific costs can be discussed in detail after we decide on our partners.

The cost of this part is split 70% to 30%, with the operator taking 70% and us taking 30%. "

As one of the three major operators in China, we have never heard of such conditions.

This is equivalent to Huawei selling communication equipment to them, and then they have to share a portion of their revenue with Huawei. This is an unprecedented charging model.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Li, we are willing to pay for the equipment, including the cost of the culture medium.

But it’s too demanding for Kechuang Biotechnology to ask for 30% of the monthly rent.”

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, “Because of the bio-communication technology, Kechuang Bio has a monopoly.

As for traditional communication equipment, there are many manufacturers both at home and abroad.

However, looking ahead 50 years, only Kechuang Biotechnology will be able to manufacture biological communication equipment in the world.

Therefore, it is natural for Ke Chuang Biophysics to enjoy this premium.

And it’s only 30%, so you still have a lot of profit margin.”

There is never a shortage of goods that are becoming cheaper and cheaper in the world. With the advancement of technology and the liberation of productivity, most goods are becoming cheaper and cheaper.

But at the same time, there are also goods in the world that are becoming increasingly expensive, such as medical care, education, luxury goods and monopoly industries.

The price of the brain-computer connection technology license of Ke Chuang Biotechnology has not decreased over the years, and has even increased every year at the rate of currency depreciation.

Cooperating manufacturers still recognize it, and consumers also only recognize Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology.

It's not just because Ke Chuang Bio's technology has a substantial monopoly in the market, but it also subconsciously roots the idea that Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology is the best in the minds of global consumers.

It is like this: the value of labor in the biological sense is limited. Whether in China or other countries, ordinary workers can only make ends meet.

Ordinary workers only earn enough money to meet basic survival needs, while skilled workers enjoy a premium.

Moreover, once technology becomes popular, there is no premium and new technology replaces old technology.

The price of labor is determined by market competition.

In the market, capitalists invest capital and their own labor, and employees invest their own labor. After market pricing and competition, capital takes the surplus and principal of capital, and workers take the wages of labor. When workers accumulate a certain amount of funds, they have their own ideas and start their own businesses, so they invest their own capital and labor and become capitalists.

The surplus of capital + labor lies in the increment of capital efficiency and labor efficiency, which depends on technology, so knowledge workers can be exchanged with capitalists.

In the technology stock stage, cross-regional capital and labor arbitrage is caused by extremely high interest rates and cheap labor in underdeveloped areas. At this time, a pricing model for exploiting surplus value emerges, which is the labor price difference between developed and underdeveloped areas.

From the perspective of the comparative advantage of products, it is of course the workers in developed countries who are being exploited. Capital can flow and avoid losses, but the workers can only illegally immigrate in the opposite direction.

In order to avoid losses, local capital resorts to automation.

With the explosive growth of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, global capital has been returning to local areas and surrounding areas.

The previous strategy of relying on cross-regional labor arbitrage is no longer viable.

Because artificial intelligence technology can offset the advantage of cheap labor.

Apart from their labor force advantage, developing countries and underdeveloped regions have very few remaining advantages.

The tax rate is low, but your goods will need to be taxed when they return to your home country.

Generally speaking, water, electricity and infrastructure in developing countries and underdeveloped areas are not well developed, and they often face sudden water and power outages.

In addition, the legal systems in these places are imperfect, so even if you make a profit, you will be forced to give up part of it.

This phenomenon is particularly evident in India, but it does not mean that it does not exist in other ASEAN countries.

Therefore, after the only advantage of third world countries, cheap labor, is offset by artificial intelligence, the motivation for capital to migrate to these places disappears.

Don’t even talk about comparative advantages; now we are at a comparative disadvantage.

Therefore, China is the last country to benefit from the technological leakage.

Back to biocommunication technology, monopolistic technologies can enjoy unique premiums.

This is a matter of course.

The operators present here naturally understand this principle.

"Mr. Li, we fully understand that Sinovation Biotech holds the only technology in the world and needs to enjoy a certain premium.

And the willingness to continue investing this premium into the research and development of new technologies.

At the same time, as a state-owned enterprise, China Mobile is also willing to support our Chinese companies in exploring the most advanced technologies.

Simply passing the user's charges to the supplier is something that has never happened before.

It is not in line with the tradition of mobile phones, and it may cause troubles when facing internal or external audits later. "

Mobile is about persuading people with reason and appealing to their emotions.

“Therefore, we are willing to increase the price appropriately when purchasing biological communication trees and culture medium.

This is also a small token of support from China Mobile for Chinese enterprises.”

Li Miaomiao sneered: "Haha, this is our condition.

In fact, we don’t necessarily need to look for the three major operators, we have many options.

For example, Huawei has been in contact with us, and they also want to become a bio-communication operator.

I believe Hua Wei will agree to this condition.

At the same time, Huawei has sold equipment to the three major operators for so many years, so it must be very familiar with the operators’ operating mechanisms.”

"I'm sorry, Ms. Li, but I'm afraid the communications industry is unlikely to be opened up to private enterprises."

“First of all, this is completely different from the traditional communications industry. If the communications industry cannot be opened to private enterprises, then why do domestic companies also have satellite communications companies similar to Musk’s Starlink?
Moreover, I can completely change the name of biocommunication technology, and it will no longer be communication technology.

It just so happens that Huawei is the best at naming, and I believe they can give the biological communication tree a nice name to avoid all the problems. "

Musk has laid Starlink in orbit across the entire blue planet, with more than 40,000 Starlink satellites, making all countries feel threatened.

In areas like this, China encourages private enterprises to enter.

There are also private enterprises that are doing quite well in this field.

“Boss Li, this is not the same thing. Satellite communication cannot become a regular means of communication.

But we all know that after virtual reality devices become mainstream in the future, bio-communication will also become the mainstream means of communication.

China's three major operators no longer have any need to exist, and we may not even be able to maintain one-tenth of our current size."

This was a bit beyond Li Miaomiao's expectations. She originally thought that the three major operators would fight each other, but it turned out that they were in collusion.
