It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 377 The desire to cause trouble becomes stronger
Alibaba, or Jack Ma, has a large amount of business dealings in the Lion City and an extensive network of contacts in various fields.

For example, Edward, one of the early founders of Facebook, who is indirectly controlled by Alpha and the apparent richest man in Singapore, has a good personal relationship with Jack Ma.

It is precisely because Jack Ma knows Lion City so well that he is so shocked and envious of the tremendous changes it has undergone.

This envy comes spontaneously from the bottom of my heart. Even when I talk about this topic privately with my close friends, I would say that if we have this idea and the courage, is it possible to take over the power of Lion City before Alpha takes action.

After all, Jack Ma believes that Alibaba and Ant’s technical strength will not be weaker than Alpha Technologies, and Alibaba and Ant have obviously been working in Lion City for much longer than Alpha Technologies.

If they act first, they will only have a greater advantage over Alpha Technology.

Afterwards, he asked Alibaba's branch in Singapore to write a detailed investigation report more than once, the more detailed the better. Jack Ma also planned to go to Singapore in person to observe closely after the situation calmed down.

After restraining his emotions of greed, envy and jealousy, Jack Ma was able to analyze the matter more calmly, hoping to gain some experience from it.

In the past, there were top figures in the cryptocurrency circle like Sun Ge, who used money to bribe Grenada, a small country in North America with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

After buying off this small country, he became the country's ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the WTO.

In this way, legal immunity can be obtained in some countries.

Sun Ge's operation has pointed the way for some wealthy overseas Chinese. For many small countries, the resources they control are more than that of an entire country. They can completely obtain some special powers of these small countries through transactions, such as ambassadors of international organizations, which are things with empty titles but no real power.

It also made everyone see clearly that although both of them got rich through cryptocurrency, Sun Ge was even more unscrupulous in cutting leeks. However, he was able to get away with all kinds of outrageous operations and even used his identity as an ambassador of international organizations to openly enter and leave New York, while Zhao Changpeng could only be thrown into jail.

Now Alpha has shown everyone a new path, and the tacit approval of China and America has indirectly stimulated the world's wealthy.

Musk is a man of action, but Jack Ma is a Chinese after all, and his thinking in this regard is more constrained, so it is not so easy for him to actually take this step.

Of course, another reason is that if wealthy Chinese do this, there is a high probability that there will be other risks.

“At that time, Alpha Technology’s project attracted global attention. My daughter and her friends seemed to just want to give it a try, but they ended up getting the investment quota.” Lin Qinghua said that he actually didn’t know the inside story, so what he said was very vague.

Jack Ma lamented: "All companies will decline over time. Even if a company was once prosperous, it will gradually become mediocre in the long river of history after the boom of the times has passed.

I have become more and more aware of this over the years. Before, I thought Alibaba would be a great company that would last for a hundred years. Now I wonder if I will end up like Charles or Jerry, and Alibaba will gradually decline into Sohu or Yahoo.

In the past I would have worried deeply about this and tried to reverse such a future through personal efforts.

But now, I will only choose to accept it, because I am increasingly accepting that our time has passed and no matter how hard we struggle it will be of no avail.

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

Now is the era of the next generation. You have a good daughter, and the business they run can have a brighter future.”

Jack Ma suddenly became very talkative. The more he dealt with Lin Qinghua, the more he felt that he could get along with him, because Lin Qinghua was not arrogant and gave people the feeling of an honest old farmer.

Jack Ma calls himself a teacher, and it is only fitting that a teacher teaches farmers.

“Companies like Guangjia Aerospace are high-tech companies on the surface, and have been continuously investing in the research and development of various technologies, and their output is equally astonishing.

But its vision is to become a resource-based enterprise, hoping to survive by selling space resources.

It means that it has the characteristics of both types of companies.

Of course it hasn’t done the latter yet, but it’s on its way.

Alpha Technologies is a rare trinity company that is working on artificial intelligence technology that directly connects it to consumers.

We rely on synthetic sand to provide unique resources to the world, rely on artificial intelligence technology to reduce manufacturing production costs and increase corporate profits, and rely on Hornbill to directly target consumers.

Consumption, research and resources combined together form an unprecedented behemoth that no technology giant has ever been able to achieve. Even if AlphaTech is limited to Malaysia and Singapore, it is enough to grow into a monster that ignores time.

If Light Armor Aerospace was in America or Europe, I believe it could become a large-scale Alpha Technology. The only pity is that it is in China, which has locked the upper limit of the development of Light Armor Technology."

Lin Qinghua asked back: "Old Ma, according to what you said, you invested in the mining giant because the only thing missing was resources?"

Jack Ma was puzzled and asked, “Which company are you talking about?”

He couldn't remember that he had bought the mining giant.

Lin Qinghua said: “It’s the company in Silicon Valley whose name starts with K, Kobo or something.”

Jack Ma then realized: "You mean KoBold Metals."

KoBold Metals is a unicorn company in Silicon Valley that uses AI to explore metal materials such as copper and lithium.

Their most classic battle should be the purchase of the Mingomba deposit in Zambia for US$22 million in 1.5. In about a year, huge copper reserves were discovered on the project.

“This is not the same thing at all. Our investment in this company is purely investment, and there is no possibility of interfering in the actual operation of the company.

Don’t you think that first of all, this is a Silicon Valley company? Secondly, in addition to us, the company is led by Bill Gates, and then there are Bezos, Dalio’s Bridgewater Fund, Bloomberg, Masayoshi Son and Bezos. I am just playing along.”

"Of course, if what the media says is true, who wouldn't want to control a country for fun?"

Musk has already taken action, first accepting an interview with Tucker Carlson, the host of American Fox News.

Before the 24th election, Musk also accepted an interview with Carlson, in which he talked a lot about the election and made many exaggerated remarks.

Therefore, Musk considered this occasion very appropriate. He said some ambiguous words, and it was not easy for people to read his true intentions, but he could get some feedback through this program.

About him wanting to learn Alpha Technology and try to gain power over a country.

People from all walks of life in America think about what he does. Therefore, in this program, the questions are not prepared in advance, but the topic of discussion is prepared in advance, where is the boundary of the enterprise.

"So what would you want to do?" Carlson asked.

Musk paused for a moment and said, "I will. I think if there is a chance, after all, it's cool, just like playing the game of Civilization. Who would refuse to play a game of Civilization in the real world?"

"In the last election, you did a series of things to influence the election, including distributing US dollars, issuing mysterious prizes, launching a reusable starship before the election, etc.

And now you are saying this, so do you want to control the direction of the next election? To intervene in the election more deeply than the last one?
Although you cannot participate in the presidential election in person, you can give the public an illusion that I am tied to a certain candidate, and if you vote for him, you will vote for me, and after he is elected, he must listen to you? "

Carlson's questions were very sharp, so sharp that Musk was a little overwhelmed.

This is because in the eyes of some people in the White House, Musk is a discarded pawn. Although No. 1 is still trying to compensate Musk and hand over the entire moon landing to Musk, in the eyes of more people, Musk can be thrown away after No. 1 steps down.

Therefore, this time Carlson was obviously not as respectful as last time in the interview, but was full of aggressiveness.

Musk realized that he had said the wrong thing, and that Carlson was different from the last interview, but this was a live TV broadcast, so he quickly made up for it:
“I just said one thing wrong, that is, I don’t know whether Alpha controls or influences Lion City.

But there is no doubt that their collaboration with the MPs in Lion City has paid off handsomely for them.

Alpha Technologies will use the world's leading artificial intelligence technology to benefit the city of Lion City and make it better in the future.

I also hope to bring my management experience at SpaceX and Tesla to American, so that I can help American to a greater extent.

I think my experience in leading a business to success can help American Ken.

But America is not Lion City. How can I possibly control such a great country as America?"

Carlson asked, "So you're unhappy with the current White House?"

"I am interested in what the White House wants to do now, to help our manufacturing industry return, to help us solve the problem of illegal immigration, to help us control the crime rate, etc. However, the White House's plans usually cannot be passed by Congress. The Democrats oppose the plans not because of the plans themselves, but because the plans come from the White House.

If the proposal comes from Donald Trump Party MPs, their position will change immediately.

Under the constraints of Congress, any ideas of the White House can only remain on paper. "Musk argued.

He felt that he could no longer be led by the other party, but should take the initiative: "Lion City hopes to use artificial intelligence technology to reduce the number of public affairs personnel, which is a very good strategy.

It is also the most effective way to solve the Deep State in Washington, and I think we should learn from this.

Washington has a much longer history than Lion City, and its Deep State problems are much more serious than Lion City's. However, Lion City was able to begin to address its Deep State problems after a major change, but America is still stuck in this predicament and cannot extricate itself.

As long as the Deep State exists, America will not be able to escape the status quo.”

Deep State is not a conspiracy theory, nor is it a mysterious black hand, but rather a series of interested individuals and interest groups.

Washington's officials have their own interests in matters big and small, and these interests were in line with the interests of America in the past, so they were proposed and implemented. But as time goes by, this matter becomes more and more in line with the interests of the executors rather than the interests of America.

The White House realized that this was a problem and wanted to change it, but the affairs officials did not want their own interests to be affected, so they prevented the White House from changing this established fact.

This is the essence of the Deep State, and it follows the same logic as the quagmire of the late Ming Dynasty. It is a stubborn disease that cannot be changed by anyone.

“The president can’t solve the problems in the Deep State, but by giving you more authority and allowing you to influence the president more deeply, you can solve the problems in the Deep State.

My limited logic tells me that this is not common sense." Carlson was quick to respond and quickly seized on Musk's loophole and hit him hard.

Musk said: “It’s artificial intelligence that can solve stubborn diseases.

Artificial intelligence can make the most rational judgments, and what we need to promote is artificial intelligence to replace humans."

Now it's Musk's turn to get stuck in the quagmire.

Backstage after the interview, Musk was extremely angry because although the topic the two talked about on stage was Singapore, Carlson kept setting traps, attacking, and misinterpreting, using various means to target him.

He soon realized that this was related to some people in the White House trying to abandon him.

Compared with other Silicon Valley tycoons, Musk obviously wants more for the same political donations.

Moreover, after Musk suffered a setback in this White House, investing tens of millions of dollars but not getting the desired return, and being severely stabbed in the back in the last year, he put forward more stringent conditions when contacting potential candidates for the next term privately.

These made some people in the White House consider abandoning him.

Carlson, as a Fox host, targeted him so much in a TV interview, which was a signal.

The more this happens, the stronger my desire becomes to gain national authority like Alpha Technology.

"If Elon gets elected president, I will vote for him without hesitation."

“Maybe it would be a good thing for America if Elon could control the president.”

"Obviously Elon wants to control America the way Alpha controls Lion City. Would that make America better? I don't know, but I'm sure it wouldn't make America worse."

"Compared to Elon, both ** and **'s resumes are as shabby as a blank sheet of paper."

After another disappointing four years, China has not been contained, the economy has not improved, and high inflation cannot be suppressed at all.

What is even more disappointing to the Americans is that among the manufacturing industries that have returned through various means, all the high-end manufacturing jobs are occupied by Chinese. This is equivalent to digging out the cake and then digging out the people who share the cake as well.

Then what's the point of scooping the cake?
This shifted the American public's expectations for the election to Musk. After seeing the comments under his Twitter, Musk regained his confidence, "Is it possible to start by controlling a state in America?"
