I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 493 Chapter 295: Layout at the crossroads!

Wozniak looked a little impatient.

He can understand that Kuko has KPI requirements and long-term pursuit of company performance.

But many things cannot be changed just because you want to.

Pingguo Company's performance is very good now.

Even though the company has always been very "aloof", the official rarely participates in any promotional activities.

Even so.

Pingguo's global annual sales were 1761.74 billion U.S. dollars, and its full-year net profit was 555.56 billion U.S. dollars. Sansang, another mobile phone giant, had a profit of 198 billion U.S. dollars. Although Hillhouse Technology set a record, it only earned 110 billion U.S. dollars.

This is because Peace Apple has never participated in any promotional activities and its selling price has always been very strong.

What’s more important is that it basically has a monopoly position in European and American countries, eating the fattest cake, and there is no need to care about the East Asian market centered on the Chinese market!
"My idea is to expand and add new laboratories in Shanghai and Shenzhen, further invest in R&D and development in China, and enhance our product testing and research capabilities."

"According to preliminary estimates, this amount of money will be around 50 billion US dollars. I hope you can support me!" Kuco said after hesitating for a moment.

Wozniak was smoking a cigar called "Gao Xiba" on the sofa at this time. After taking a puff, he was also choked by what Cuoco said, "How much? About 50 billion US dollars? You know that this money is more than enough to build two R&D centers in the United States. You don't want to set up this laboratory in China just to enhance the testing and research capabilities of products, right?"

Wozniak looked at Kuoko with some suspicion.

this. . .

Are you just playing around?
Pingguo Company is no ordinary scumbag. Transferring its R&D capabilities is a big deal.

And this is definitely a major matter that involves national security!
"Do you know what you are talking about? Is this a game that we in Pingguo can easily participate in? Don't you know what the members of the House of Representatives are discussing now? Even so, you dare to step in. You are really too brave."

Wozniak quickly stood up, threw the cigar in his hand onto the table, and scolded.

Kuko hurriedly stood up as well.

He looked quite puzzled at first, and then his face turned pale instantly.

He knew exactly what Wozniak meant.

If Pingguo steps into this dispute, it will be hell!

At this moment, the dispute between Dongda and Xida has been exposed, and with the intrusion of Gao Ling, a little ant, it has become more intense than in Gao Huaijun's previous life.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

If Kuko dared to do this, he might have committed suicide by shooting himself in his own villa the next day.

In China, such things are covered up, but in the United States, that’s a joke, we can tell you directly who did it!
Pingguo is not as lucky as Tesla now. After all, when Tesla built the factory in Shanghai, the overall atmosphere was still very relaxed.

If Pingguo still plans to build a large R&D base in China on a large scale, it would not be Pingguo that is seeking death, but Kuko who is seeking death!

At this critical crossroads of great changes that have not been seen in a thousand years, many people have come up and many people have gone down. No matter you are Pingguo, Hillhouse, or Intel, you are all pawns!
If you are a chess piece, you must be aware of being a chess piece.

These things were also figured out bit by bit during his time as president.

He was born in marketing, and his awareness of Zheng Zhi was much deeper than Qiao Busi's. Otherwise, why was Qiao Busi, a leader-level engineer, kicked out of Pingguo midway?
Although he felt that these things might be somewhat different from the truth, the general direction would not be much different.

Now, the chess game that Dongda and Xida are playing involves all aspects, including energy, military, geopolitical power, technology, finance, and even... It is unknown whether the ultimate biological war will be launched!

If we look back hundreds of years from now, many of the people involved will probably end up in history books.

After all, this is the most transformative time in the next few hundred years!
With so many complex forces, such huge plans and layouts, the big figures hidden behind the scenes are like gods that cannot be looked directly at, affecting the direction of the entire chessboard.

Looking back now, he is just a slightly more important chess piece in one of the important arenas of competition, technology.

He knew he had been a little too reckless today.

"I just... I just..." Kuko stood there, muttering to himself, not knowing what to say.

"I understand what you mean. I'm very happy that you are thinking about Pingguo's future." Wozniak sighed slightly at this time.

If Kuko is a small ant, then Wozniak is just a slightly larger ant.

In the grand chess game of history, we can say very little.

"It's just that there are many things beyond our control, and Pingguo's performance is pretty good now. In fact, the superiors are quite satisfied, and they have a good impression of you." Wozniak smiled and comforted.

Now Pingguo's liquid funds alone exceed 500 billion US dollars.

The annual dividend is a huge sum of money, which is even more reliable than regular payments. Naturally, all the bosses are very satisfied.

You know, as the stock god, Buffett’s annual dividend is only about 7%.

As a behind-the-scenes shareholder of Pingguo, I have made a lot of money.

"Pingguo Company looks very good now, but year after year, it is basically living off its old capital. As you know, our products have been micro-innovation products for several years now. They are basically the same, with only some hardware upgrades."

"If it is a dominant player with a monopoly, then it doesn't matter. We can continue to eat it for another ten years without any problems."

"But Hillhouse's aggressive stance now reminds me of Nokia."

"Sir, please don't mind my frankness."

Kuko said, shrugging his shoulders.

Wozniak understood what he meant and nodded.

For some things, it doesn't mean they won't get involved just because they don't want to.

Now the trend of de-industrialization in the United States is very obvious, and there is a lack of corresponding engineers. Therefore, after Qiaobusi left, innovation in Pingguo has become more and more problematic.

Without stimulation, it's nothing.

"Let me put it this way. A large-scale layout in China is definitely unrealistic, but if we just layout two small points, I don't think it will be a big problem." Wozniak thought for a moment and replied to Kuco.

Kuko couldn't help but be overjoyed and nodded quickly.
