Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 184 [Reaching a Consensus]

The founders of technology giants around the world, especially those with a trillion-dollar scale, ultimately hold around 10% to 20% of their shares, because they need to share profits with all parties in order to work together to expand the size of the company.

Unless you cheat...

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the founder to hold more than half of the shares and still reach a trillion-level scale. This is even more obvious in the Western capital world.

The important reason why you cannot grow big if you hold too much equity is that you are easy to be targeted by others. Because when you expand the size of your own company, you will inevitably squeeze the market share of your peers. Capital often holds equity interests in peer companies.

If your company squeezes out its peers and capital does not gain enough benefits from your company, it will not be able to hedge effectively and will inevitably suppress them in various ways.

At this moment, the investors present heard Peter Vitas's very satisfactory transaction conditions. After a brief exchange, they reached a consensus on the spot and agreed to Peter Vitas' three conditions.

That is, the company's control still belongs to him, allowing him to cash out $50 billion and achieve a light-speed listing of Cyera-AI within the next two months.

In exchange, Peter Vitas's stake in Cyera-AI was directly reduced to 15%. As for the remaining 85% of the shares, the major investors would discuss how to divide them among themselves.

Luckin Coffee was able to achieve the speed of IPO in 18 months. Cyera-AI needs to be twice as efficient as Luckin Coffee and go public in just half a year.

It may be difficult for other companies to do so, but Cyera-AI was born at the right time. The company's fundamentals are strong enough, and the key is that it has been recognized by all participating investors. They will work together to promote the listing, so there will basically be no major obstacles.

As long as the listing of Cyera-AI is completed and 50 billion US dollars are cashed out, Xiao Yu's next plan is to use a substitute to fulfill the promise of supplying 200 million tons of food materials to the Red Tide Organization of the Blue Star World every year.

According to the current grain market purchase price, the value of 200 million tons of grain is about US$8 million.

With the $50 billion in cash, it will be enough to last for several years.

However, there must be a reasonable explanation for the motive behind letting the stand-in Peter Vitas spend so much money to purchase so much food and supplies, otherwise it will inevitably cause confusion among the outside world, especially several financial institutions.

Xiao Yu has also thought of a solution to this problem, and the answer is two words: charity.

In order to cover up the actual motive, the funding institutions can explain that this is for the purpose of better packaging their own persona, adding the identity of a philanthropist, spending some money to purchase food supplies for charity, and providing some humanitarian assistance worldwide, in order to create a good and positive public image for themselves and Cyera-AI.

If the investors knew this was the reason, they would certainly be happy to see it happen.

……

In the following days, Xiao Yu controlled his stand-in Peter Vitas to actively prepare for the listing of Cyera-AI, while other matters were also progressing as planned.

The "Shenlong" fighter jet project of AVIC Linfei Company is progressing in an orderly manner, and the trillion-yuan air-rail train project in Linzhou City is also in full swing.

Lingjing Technology's core business is also developing in accordance with Xiao Yu's expectations. The company's current absolute cash flow business, graphene materials, has expanded its production capacity to 10,000 tons this year and is still not worried about sales.

In terms of the AI business segment, AI Mirror is expected to be fully released in the second half of this year, and all users will be able to use it normally at that time. At the same time, paid services for personal version of productivity tools will also be launched in the second half of the year.

The newly established bioengineering business department has now started to operate initially. When the time is right, there will be a major breakthrough in the research of single organ cloning technology. In addition, Lingjing Technology has two other important businesses, namely holographic imaging and VR headsets. This project was launched as early as last year, but there is not much progress now because Xiao Yu has not yet focused on these two areas.

My energy is really limited, so I can only let it go for a while.

Holographic imaging is definitely something that must be developed. Not only does this technology itself have huge commercial prospects, it is also the key prerequisite technology for smart holographic bracelets. Without this, holographic bracelets cannot be developed.

However, there is no need to rush about this. After all, the holographic bracelet still has a lot of prerequisite technologies to be activated, so we can only take it step by step.

……

It's the end of December.

At the villa residence, Xiao Yu came to the villa's basement. At the same time, he controlled his stand-in Peter Vitas to rest, because he was going to the Blue Star world, and once the teleportation star gate was closed, he would be disconnected from his organic body.

Whenever Xiao Yu goes to Blue Star in the future, he will have to let his stand-in Peter Vitas lie down in advance. Fortunately, it is night time in the Western Hemisphere now, which is exactly the time to go to bed, so he can just let the stand-in lie down and "sleep".

At this moment, Xiao Yu opened the teleportation star gate. He first arrived at the Blue Star World, then reopened the teleportation star gate again and returned to Earth.

When he returned to Earth again, he was not in the basement of his villa, but in a secret base built 800 meters underground under the ninth villa.

Xiao Yu looked around and said with great satisfaction: "Well, it's convenient to have a portal, and it's also very safe. There's no chance of being exposed."

In the future, to enter and exit this secret base underground, you have to follow the same process. First, use the teleportation star gate to go to Blue Star, and then open the teleportation star gate again to return to Earth from the Blue Star world and enter the secret base underground.

This was not a unnecessary move by Xiao Yu, but because he had completely sealed the passage dug in the basement of the ninth villa from the inside, and there was no second passage extending from the underground to the basement of the villa where he lived.

In other words, there is no longer any passage leading into this underground base from the ground, and the passage to the ninth villa has been completely blocked.

At the beginning, Xiao Yu was thinking of digging a tunnel underground to extend to his villa, but fortunately he did not do so.

Because I realized that there was no need to do this, and it would be extremely stupid to do so.

There are plug-ins like teleportation star gates, but what kind of channel do we need?

It is entirely possible to block them all and not set up any passage leading to the ground, so that this underground base can be completely independent at a depth of 800 meters underground and completely isolated from the ground.

In this way, the risk of this underground base being exposed exists almost only in theory. Except for Xiao Yu, no one else can discover it, and no one else can get in, only Xiao Yu himself.

And there is only one way to enter and exit, and that is through the teleportation star gate, using the Blue Star world as a transit point. In this way, the security and confidentiality index is directly maximized.
