Global Monopoly of Technology

After the first day of the conference today, the organizer planned a grand dinner. The conference will continue tomorrow. Today, the main communication is "T", which is the topic of science and technology, and the next two days will focus on "entertainment". ” and “design”.

However, Luo Sheng will not show up to participate. After attending today's dinner, he will leave Shencheng early tomorrow.

"Mr. Luo. Your speech was excellent, and global health is an area that I have been very concerned about. Maybe we can do some cooperation."

During the dinner, the former richest man in the world, Bill Gates, shared a table with Luo Sheng. He took the initiative to open up this topic to communicate, and was obviously interested in life sciences.

"It's a great honor, but I didn't expect that the first person to respond to my call was Mr. Bill." Luo Sheng said with a smile: "There is an opportunity to work together, but these tools must be integrated under a global health system."

The people at the same table are all tech bigwigs, and everyone is also curious. Both the former world's richest man and the current world's richest man have expressed urgent concern about global health issues, which has also made them have a lot of interest in this field. interest.

Gates chatted: "I very much agree with what you said in your speech, we must be in a state of readiness, and the best example comes from preparing for war. For soldiers, they are always ready to go into war. , and reserve soldiers can greatly increase the population ready for war. For example, a mobile group in NATO can be quickly activated, and there are many war games that can be predicted. Are the personnel well-trained?"

Gates watched Luo Sheng methodically and said: "...Do they know about fuel, supplies, the same radio frequency, etc. If so, then they are ready, and these are the things we should be prepared for in the face of the epidemic , but what are the key projects?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but fall into contemplation. Before, he was not very good at judging whether Gates was polite or sincere, but after listening to what he said now, Luo Sheng had a high probability to judge that Gates was indeed not polite.

After a while, Luo Sheng also became serious. After thinking about it, he looked at Bill and said clearly: "First, in poor countries and regions, there must be a developed health system, so that mothers can have children safely. , children can be vaccinated, and we can detect potential outbreaks at a very early stage."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Second, we need a systematic backup medical team, as well as many well-trained professionals, ready to bring them to work in specialized epidemic areas."

Gates nodded again and again in agreement, and went with the flow: "The army can be used to cooperate with medical staff, and the rapid movement of the army can be used to carry out logistics transportation and maintain security. It also needs to use supercomputing to conduct some situational simulations.

Not a war game but a germ game and see where the defense holes are. I remember that the last germ game was played in the United States in 2001, and it was not very smooth. Currently, germs get 1 point and humans get 0 points. "

Luo Sheng said neatly: "Then let's cooperate. To be honest, Bill, and everyone, I plan to set up a life science private equity fund with a personal special fund of 5 billion US dollars."

Gates Invitation Cup: "Good."

Luo Sheng immediately smiled and faced the other bosses at the table: "Are you interested in participating?"

The other bosses at the table seemed to understand that the two richest men in the world had easily reached some kind of consensus. After a while, Larry Page shrugged and smiled happily: "Why not? I donated 200 million US dollars to support. Your Life Science Fund."

Sergey Brin also said cheerfully: "I will give $150 million to support it."

In this way, Luo Sheng easily raised $2.2 billion in one sentence on the table. Gates was the one who supported him, and one person gave $1 billion.

More importantly, this is funding, not equity participation.

Speaking of which, Gates' personal investment fund currently also holds 3% of Bluestar Technology Group's shares. Before the IPO, he took the last train to follow up with the investment, and subsequently increased its holdings. Now it is considered Bluestar Technology. One of the major shareholders.

The game in the rich circle is vividly reflected here.

Although there is no written agreement, this kind of gentleman's agreement is sometimes more effective than any written contract, and Luo Sheng is not inferior to their 2.2 billion US dollars. Money is secondary, and interpersonal relationships may be more important than this money.

It is not easy for Luo Sheng to raise a sum of money now. Many people at home and abroad are very keen to give him money to toss. Without him, the halo is still dazzling, and Luo Sheng can always bring them higher earnings.

Next, the bigwigs began to chat freely. Most of them were talking about technology, future trends and other elements to communicate. After all, they are all bigwigs in the technology industry. Although they have a competitive relationship with each other, it does not hinder the fun at the moment. comminicate.

"Mr. Luo stay, can you accept a brief interview with Huaqing Online?"

At the end of the dinner, Luo Sheng was cut off by a beautiful female reporter on the way to leave the venue. Seeing the other party's good looks, Luo Sheng nodded and motioned her to accompany him.

The female reporter was overjoyed when she saw it.

"The interview time will end at the door." Luo Sheng glanced at her and said, withdrew his gaze and continued walking.

The female reporter immediately took the time to ask questions: "According to the content of your TED speech in the afternoon, do you want to start a new layout in a new field, the field of life sciences."

Luo Sheng: "Yes, at the dinner table just now, about 15 billion (2.2 billion US dollars) have been raised."

The female reporter was caught off guard. She didn't expect the boss to answer so succinctly. What surprised her even more was that a huge sum of 15 billion yuan was raised in just one dinner?

But time was running out, so she didn't have time to struggle with these, and immediately asked the next question: "In recent years, the phenomenon of Chinese companies going global has developed a blowout trend. Does that mean that many companies actually want to go global and realize their globalization strategy? layout?"

Luo Sheng replied in a flat tone as he walked: "It's just that a few limited companies such as Wah Wei and Cote d'Azur are showing blowout growth. What is this growth? There are very few who agree. In fact, the most important thing to pay attention to is the question of where our country is lagging behind. Our applied materials research is very backward, and precision manufacturing is also very backward, such as lithography equipment, which Chinese people basically can’t play. change."

Reporter: "I can't do the core part?"

Luo Sheng: "People can make you so much profit with just one lens. In general, I mean to be pragmatic. Use other people's technology to compete with others. Do you think others are fools? The core technology of an enterprise depends on itself. The so-called You can’t buy or steal core technology, and if it’s your own core competitiveness, even if a flood or tsunami is triggered, it won’t drown you, and you’ll still stand after the tide ebbs.”

When the female reporter was about to conduct the third question-and-answer interview, Luo Sheng had already walked to the exit, and she said that the simple interview was over, and the reporter's third question could not be asked.

His partner looked at the distant boss and muttered to himself: "Following Hua Wei, Luo Sheng has won another big victory on behalf of the technology, industry and trade route, and the boss's subtext obviously denied Lianxiang's trade. technical route.”

The female reporter asked her partner: "Do you think the technology, industry and trade fair will win in the end, or the trade, industry and technology? Or can you go both ways?"

The partner replied without hesitation: "Why don't you ask? The answer is obvious, who is the richest man in the world today? To take a step back, even if both routes can be followed, there is no doubt that Luo Sheng's technology, industry and trade route has a better chassis. Steady, if you don't believe me, let's wait and see."
