Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 223 [Completion of the New Headquarters]

The emergence and sudden rise of Peter Vitas made Lao Mei feel that he was back on track. In addition, under Vitas' strenuous lobbying, Lao Mei's decision makers immediately took action to restart the all-round suppression of Lingjing Technology.

Under the powerful Western media offensive, Lingjing Technology seemed to have gone from being at its peak to being on the decline overnight.

Investors in the capital market have become increasingly less confident in Lingjing Technology, and the stock price is the best reflection of this. After a sharp drop of 8 percentage points today, it will show a volatile downward trend in the next two weeks.

By September 9, Lingjing Technology's share price fell to 21 yuan, breaking through the support level and hitting a new low for the year. Its market value shrank to 153.59 trillion yuan. Compared with its historical high at the beginning of the year, the cumulative decline has reached -13.33%, evaporating a huge market value of more than 36.11 trillion yuan.

This time, Lao Mei took ruthless action against Lingjing Technology. Not only did he launch a media offensive, but he also shorted Lingjing Technology in the financial market. It can be said that he started from all aspects and used all the means he could.

However, it is worth mentioning that Lao Mei did not make any assassination attempt against Xiao Yu. On the one hand, this is basically impossible to do. On the other hand, the nobles of the consortium on Lao Mei's side do not want him to get into any accidents, because they are also extremely eager for the "doubled health bar" to extend their lifespan.

It can be said that all the rich and powerful people in the world have been controlled by the big pie that Xiao Yu has painted.

But apart from that, the rest of the game goes on as usual, and the most ruthless moves can be made.

The sudden rise of Cyera-AI and Peter Vitas has also been secretly welcomed by many buyers of graphene materials. From their point of view, neither domestic nor foreign companies want to see Lingjing Technology dominate the market.

They are naturally happy to see that Peter Vitas can break the graphene technology moat of Lingjing Technology. If there is a substitute in the market, buyers of graphene materials will have bargaining power.

But what they don't know is that all of this is the result of Xiao Yu's planning and layout behind the scenes. Xiao Yu will never allow Cyera-AI's graphene technology to surpass Lingjing Technology, whether in terms of product quality or production capacity.

In other words, Lingjing Technology will always be more competitive than Cyera-AI.

Xiao Yu actually has the final say on factors such as the quantity of supply, product quality, price, etc., and he controls the entire process precisely.

After entering the end of September, Xiao Yu has shifted his focus. The market value of Lingjing Technology has plummeted. He doesn't care about the so-called AI century battle or the hustle and bustle in the outside world.

This was all within his expectations, and now he just needed to let the bullet fly for a while.

Lao Mei has successfully fallen into the pit. Their entire AI industry practitioners, including capital investors, have determined that computing power must be king in AI. They have made huge investments, piled up computing power resources, and poured money into it crazily.

Xiao Yu was just waiting for them to further invest huge amounts of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and then he would throw out two trump cards, making their investment worthless.

……

Wednesday, September 9, Dongcheng District, Linzhou City.

Xiao Yu's special car drove into the Lingjing Technology Industrial Park located here. The park covers an area of 1.8 acres. A year and a half ago, this place was still a desolate suburb in the suburbs.

In just less than a year and a half, a 1.8-acre high-tech industrial park has sprung up here. It has now become a shining technological pearl in Linzhou City, exuding infinite vitality.

At this moment, Xiao Yu entered the new headquarters building of Lingjing Technology and entered the chairman's office. Yun Shu, who followed him, said, "The data relocation has been completed ahead of schedule. It is expected that around November, all employees of Lingjing Technology will be able to move into the new headquarters and park to work and live."

Standing in front of a French window in his office overlooking the entire science and technology industrial park, Xiao Yu couldn't help but say to himself with satisfaction: "Yes, this 1000 billion is worth it."

He turned around and glanced at the beautiful assistant and ordered: "The acceptance is completed, so let's settle the project payment with them. It's not our style to hold back on accounts." Yun Shu replied: "The finance department is already doing this, don't worry."

All major construction companies are extremely satisfied with Lingjing Technology as the client. There is no need for deposit or advance payment, and the project profits are high. In their eyes, such a fantastic project is hard to come by.

In short, Xiao Yu paid the money in place, and the major construction parties lived up to expectations and completed Party A's requirements with quality and quantity. All the projects were completed as scheduled this year, and more than a month ahead of schedule than expected.

Xiao Yu looked out the window again. Looking down from the sky, he saw that the layout of the park was neat and forward-looking.

The main road divides the entire industrial park into several functional modules. The most eye-catching one is the core R&D area, which will bring together many cutting-edge technology R&D centers. The modern buildings are staggered and the glass curtain walls shine with the light of technology in the sun.

The R&D area is equipped with all kinds of advanced infrastructure and equipment, and ultra-high-speed scientific research networks, providing researchers with a nearly perfect research environment.

The industrial manufacturing area and the R&D area are separated by a main road. The manufacturing area is a highly automated smart factory. In the future, as the production line starts, there will be a large number of intelligent robots shuttling around in the workshop, accurately completing various production tasks, from the processing of raw materials to the assembly of finished products, with almost no human involvement. Every link is reflected in the power of high technology, with high efficiency and excellent quality.

Another area of buildings in the park is a residential area, where employees of Lingjing Technology and AVIC Linfei and their families live, with complete living facilities.

Employees of the two companies live in the same residential area without any strict distinction; employees of both companies may even live in the same residential building.

Moreover, as long as one is a formal employee of Lingjing Technology or AVIC Linfei, his or her family members can also enter the park and settle down together.

……

In a building in a residential area, a young man and woman entered room 525.

The girl looked around after entering the house and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "This is really a magical company. You just joined last week, and you were assigned such a big and luxurious house directly. The benefits of AVIC Linfei are really too good..."

This beautiful girl is not an employee of AVIC Linfei, nor is she an employee of Lingjing Technology, but her boyfriend is an employee of AVIC Linfei.

"All the supporting facilities are available. You can move in right away with just your luggage." The girl said excitedly, and continued to walk around the house and take a look.

The area of this house is up to 150 square meters, and there is no common area, it is purely indoor area.

The layout of the house is three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has an independent bathroom and dressing room, and another bathroom is used as a public bathroom. There is a living room and a dining room. The living room is connected to the balcony. The kitchen and bathroom have clear functional areas.

According to the census yearbook data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the average living area per household in China reached 41.76 square meters, and the average living area per household reached 111.18 square meters.

There are differences between urban and rural areas. The average living area per capita of urban households is 36.52 square meters, the average living area per capita of town households is 42.29 square meters, and the average living area per capita of rural households is 46.8 square meters.

The per capita living area in rural areas and small towns is generally larger than that in cities. This is normal. The residential land area in rural areas is quite large, and people generally have a competitive spirit. If your family builds a two-story building, I will build a three-story building, and he will build a three-and-a-half-story building when he sees it.

But in comparison, the housing standards Xiao Yu provided for his employees even exceeded the per capita living area of a rural family. Remember, this is in a big city.
