Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 168 Roadshow and Symposium
During the roadshow, Xu Shenxue's statement was different from what he had said before when attracting strategic investors.

When attracting strategic investors before, Xu Shenxue and several other executives had clear division of labor. Other executives, such as Ji Chenghe, boasted about the various existing businesses, mainly mobile smart terminals and software Internet businesses, and talked about future market growth, profit growth, and cost control.

But Xu Shenxue focuses on advocating for the future!
They start by talking about artificial intelligence, driverless cars, drones, smart factories, future smart cities, smart terminal ecosystems, virtual reality networks, and so on, things that seem to have nothing to do with existing businesses.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that nothing matters. There is some relationship. For example, Zhiyun mobile phones will become the connection point of these smart terminals in the future.

Smartphones will develop into personal intelligent assistants.

But a group of large institutional investors love to hear this... Never mind whether this story can be realized in the future, it doesn’t really matter. What’s important is to tell this story well, so that many investors and even ordinary people will believe it and spend real money to buy stocks.

The many businesses that Ji Chenghe talked about are the present of Zhiyun Technology, while Xu Shenxue talked about the future of Zhiyun Technology.

The combination of these two has made many people very interested.

After the roadshow in Hong Kong, Xu Shenxue and his team took a special plane to Singapore and then to London.

Finally, we arrived in New York, USA.

In the roadshow to Wall Street in New York, in addition to talking about the so-called future, Xu Shenxue also promoted Zhiyun Technology's global model... instilling in local investors the concept that this is a high-tech company based on global economic integration.

The global market, plus the global supply chain and global capital...a truly globalized multinational corporation.

This is actually also to downplay the Chinese nature of Zhiyun Technology... so that the current American people will feel better when seeing it.

In the eyes of Americans, Zhiyun Technology is invested by American capital, using American high-tech technologies and products, taking advantage of China's cheap labor costs, and ultimately creating Zhiyun high-tech products, which are then sold to the world to reap profits.

In essence, the pattern is similar to that of fruit.

In fact, Xu Shenxue says different things to different investors...because investors from different regions have different ideas.

For example, during the roadshow in London, they talked a lot about Zhiyun Technology's competitive advantages in Europe, how many jobs it has created, how big Zhiyun Technology's R&D center is in Europe, how many local developers Zhiyun's software ecosystem has driven, etc. They almost wanted to say that Zhiyun Technology is the European Zhiyun Technology.

When it arrived in the United States, Zhiyun Technology became Americans’ Zhiyun Technology!

Then, during the roadshow in Singapore, they talked about the advantages of the ASEAN region as an emerging market, and how Zhiyun Technology might make various investments in the ASEAN region in the future... Xu Shenxue himself didn't believe it, because Xu Shenxue had never planned to make physical investments in these regions of ASEAN. At most, he planned to set up a research and development center in Singapore.

In short, they speak differently to different people, and specifically choose words that local investors like to hear.

In New York, after the roadshow to Wall Street ended, Xu Shenxue was very low-key and even secretly met with a group of real capitalists.

This time we are not talking about random things. The core of the topic is galactic life...

Although Xu Shenxue came here this time to participate in Zhiyun Technology's IPO roadshow, the big consortium doesn't care about that... Anyway, they have already invested before, and they will definitely continue to invest this time.

It's all the same old stuff, and they're not very interested in it.

What they are more interested in now are topics like anti-aging and life extension... The 3.2 billion US dollars angel round investment is enough to prove these super-rich people's desire for life!
"Our Galaxy Life Sciences labs in India and Africa have already conducted some necessary experiments. Although we have not yet reached a clear conclusion, we have found several possible directions, including targeted removal of senescent cells and cell recombination. We have already started relevant research and development!"

"Our R&D centers in the United States, Europe, and China, as well as multiple laboratories in India and Africa, have already been conducting key R&D and testing on the above-mentioned possible technical routes!"

"I have received some positive news from the R&D team. For example, our R&D team in the United States has discovered a special substance that can eliminate aging zombie cells in the body without affecting healthy cells."

"Of course, we still need time to conduct detailed technical demonstrations and experiments!"

“But the outlook is very positive!”

Xu Shenxue's remarks attracted the attention of many super-rich people, especially several wealthy people who were already quite old, who asked on the spot, to what extent the technology has progressed and whether it can be tried out while ensuring safety?
What Xu Shenxue said was just some speculations of the R&D team. Who knows whether these things are useful or not. As for safety... even many tests have not been carried out yet. Who knows whether it is safe or not.

Therefore, Xu Shenxue could only ask them to wait for a while and not to rush...

These rich people will not die in a short time. Even if they die before they can see the results of technology, they still have families and children... It will be the same if they can enjoy the results of technology in the future!
It was agreed that they and their families would enjoy the technological achievements first, so they would enjoy the technological achievements first... Xu Shenxue would not deceive them on this point. The angel round investment of 3.2 billion US dollars... Even if it was for the sake of money, Xu Shenxue would become a good person who kept his promises, and he would definitely let them try it out when the results were achieved.

As for himself... he doesn't need it!

On the one hand, he is still young.

On the other hand, he has a system!
In addition to adding scientific research credits to R&D personnel under his own industry, his system also has another major function, which is to increase one's own physical fitness by consuming achievement points.

Xu Shenxue had tried it a long time ago, but the achievement points he spent at the beginning were too few, and the system did not give him a clear numerical value of his physical functions, so after spending hundreds or thousands of points in the early days, he felt that there was no change.

By this year, he could obtain a large number of achievement points every month. After satisfying the achievement point investment in the scientific research field, Xu Shenxue also tried to increase his own achievement point investment, and once consumed more than 10,000 achievement points at a time.

This time he did feel some subtle changes... You wouldn't say they were obvious changes, but he felt that his mental state was better, his thinking was clearer, and his physical functions were better as well.

Although he did not do any special physical exercises, his physical functions gradually improved.

Later, he asked Galaxy Life's domestic team to conduct a comprehensive health monitoring on him, and then a group of R&D engineers said, "Mr. Xu, you are in good health, and even your muscles are in very good condition."

One of the bald engineers even said, "Mr. Xu, your physical exercise has a very good effect. If you continue to maintain it and combine it with active nutritional combinations, you will still be able to have the physical functions of a 20-year-old when you are 30 years old."

Only then did Xu Shenxue confirm the effectiveness of the system... because he had never done any professional physical exercise, and even before this, his body was in a sub-healthy state to some extent.

He is also very busy at work...

After confirming the system's effect in improving physical fitness, Xu Shenxue gained some initial confidence. He was sure that other wealthy people would live longer in the future... As for how long, it was hard to say.

After all, the system did not give him a numerical panel to tell him how much life he had left.

Various tests using existing technology can only tell him that he is very healthy, and through some data comparisons, tell him that his body functions are equivalent to those of people who are a few years younger... As for how long he can live, only God knows.

Xu Shenxue talked about the situation of Galaxy Life with a group of super-rich people, and after painting a rosy picture for them, especially a few older rich people, he set off to return to China.

After this intensive roadshow, Xu Shenxue returned to China with his team!
After returning to China, Xu Shenxue did not keep a low profile as before, but accepted several interviews... Of course, they were not some messy TV interviews or something like that.

It was a very serious interview, and the topic discussed was the views on future technology.

For example, mobile Internet and smart cities.

After finishing these public talks, Xu Shenxue wanted to rest for a few days.

As a result, I received another notice, so I had to hurriedly fly to Beijing on a special plane to attend a symposium.

In this symposium, Xu Shenxue did not say anything empty and pretentious, but focused on the upgrading of the consumer electronics industry chain and the importance of the semiconductor industry chain.

"The semiconductor industry is the infrastructure of modern society. Almost all modern industries, including modern life, are built on the semiconductor industry!"

"I will continue to deepen the domestic semiconductor industry chain and further increase investment in chip manufacturing, semiconductor equipment and raw materials!"

"At present, Haiwan Technology, which is controlled by Fairy Mountain Holdings under my company, has developed a linear lithography machine. The KRF lithography machine is also expected to produce a prototype in the near future. Moreover, these two lithography machines will be commercialized in Zhiyun Microelectronics, a subsidiary of Zhiyun Technology under my company. These will be the first batch of front-end lithography machines for large-scale commercialization in my country!"

"Zhiyun Technology will continue to play a driving role in the semiconductor industry chain!"

In addition to these, Xu Shenxue also mentioned mobile Internet, artificial intelligence, and the unmanned future, especially the field of artificial intelligence, which was his focus.

"With the further development of technology, it is expected that a significantly optimized artificial intelligence will appear in five or six years at the least, and in ten years at the most. This kind of artificial intelligence can be widely used in research and development, production, and national defense, reducing a large number of meaningless repeated calculations and processes, and achieving another significant improvement in efficiency."
