The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 826 WPG Fourth Layer: One General's Success is Built on the Bones of Ten Thousand! Zhu Zhiwei believes An Wuyang is different!
When An Wuyang was targeted by the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Kingdom of Ukron in the Northern Bear Kingdom, he chose to fight back hard not only against the Intelligence Bureau of Ukron, but also to establish a tough image.

Our ancestor said something very insightful.
An Wuyang is putting this statement into practice!
Wujingtian is currently too wealthy and has an exceptionally strong ability to make money. Even though An Wuyang has tried his best to build a large number of communities of shared interests, he still cannot stop the wolves that surround him.

After all, even a community of shared interests cannot always guarantee absolute safety.

Therefore, An Wuyang needs to demonstrate his strength and let others know about it, thereby creating a potential deterrent.

In fact, An Wuyang did succeed!
Through several demonstrations of their strength overseas, An Wuyang and Wu Gengtian have earned a certain degree of respect.

This can be seen from Chen Hongzhi's attitude.

When the two parties first started cooperating, Chen Hongzhi liked to secretly engage in some underhanded tactics and openly or covertly oppose An Wuyang's decisions, including disputes over pricing power.

But as An Wuyang repeatedly demonstrated his strength, especially the power he displayed most recently in the Northern Bear Kingdom, Chen Hongzhi was shocked.

In fact, it wasn't just Chen Hongzhi who was shocked by the power An Wuyang possessed; the entire capital circle was astonished by An Wuyang's power, and they even investigated why An Wuyang possessed such power.

In the end, these people actually found some clues!
Based on the clues gathered by the investigation in the capital, An Wuyang was intelligent from a young age and had traveled to Bald Eagle with An Huchun in his early years, where he is suspected of developing special powers.

This speculation is based on an in-depth investigation of Wugengtian. Wugengtian actually has a hidden force within the Xia Kingdom, namely the Wugengtian Education Funding Program, which has been in operation for twenty-two years.

A secret scholarship program that has been running for over twenty years and has more than a thousand participants—what kind of talent can it possibly cultivate? That certainly makes one wonder.

Perhaps most people have simply accepted Wugengtian's educational assistance. Although they may be grateful to Wugengtian, they will not be devoted to Wugengtian. However, who knows if there will be one or two, or even two or three special people among more than a thousand people?
It was precisely because of these clues, coupled with the power that An Wuyang repeatedly demonstrated overseas, that the second-generation elites in the capital city, such as Chen Hongzhi, felt awe and fear, thus elevating An Wuyang's status invisibly.

What else?
Do they really think that they will respect An Wuyang just because he can help them make money?

Anyone who thinks this way is probably too young.

The world is inherently cruel!

The gaps between different circles are almost insurmountable.

Because there are only four true social circles!

From highest to lowest, they are: human, sheepdog, sheep, grass.

That's right!

That's what the four circles are like!
There's a humorous saying on the internet: "The way you look at a dog."
Guess where this saying originated?
Because they are in the top echelon, the layer below them is indeed like sheepdogs, and isn't that the way they look at dogs?
As for sheep and grass.
Aren't these two circles meant to provide resources for people?
These two circles can't even come into contact with people of this social class; they can only come into contact with sheepdogs.

Sometimes, money can only allow people in the bottom two social classes to move freely, which may seem to achieve upward social mobility, but has it really been achieved?

Some people in lower social strata fail to understand the true nature of the world, thus mythologizing the role of money.

Unfortunately, in reality, money can only help one rise to the top of the social hierarchy; it cannot actually help one overcome the barriers to higher levels.

It's actually quite simple to truly overcome the barriers between different social circles.

You need countless sheep supporting you below, allowing you to climb by stepping on their backs, while someone above reaches out to pull you through the final hurdle.

This is the meaning of the saying: "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers!"

If you don't have countless supporters to serve as your stepping stones, and if there isn't a higher circle willing to lend you a hand and accept you into a new circle, how can you secure your place in that new circle?

Based solely on interests?
For sheep, isn't it a natural rule to hand over the mutton to humans and the bones to sheepdogs?
An Wuyang has always simply followed the rules of nature.

An Wuyang has said more than once that the reason why Wugengtian is willing to give up more profits is that Wugengtian only earns the portion that Wugengtian can earn.

Others earn more because others can earn more.

In the business world, losses are a given.

But once you make money, there's a lot to say, and the rules involved are countless.

Wugengtian had made money and understood the rules, and he also wanted to advance in his social standing, so An Wuyang made various arrangements and plans, which now seem to be working very well.

Judging from Chen Hongzhi's attitude, it's clear that he no longer opposes An Wuyang or engages in underhanded tactics; he has chosen to respect An Wuyang.

Although An Wuyang did not know Chen Hongzhi's thoughts, she could see the change in Chen Hongzhi's attitude.

……

"I have a question, and I wonder if President An could answer it seriously," Zhu Zhiwei suddenly asked in a low voice.

An Wuyang did not express an attitude of being completely open and honest just because of Zhu Zhiwei's identity or her beauty.

"What's the problem?" An Wuyang asked first.

Zhu Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "You're very cautious!"

"Shouldn't it be?" An Wuyang retorted.

"You really are different from everyone else!" Zhu Zhiwei exclaimed.

An Wuyang remained silent, only smiling. He was different from the others, for he was a high-class cheater in "Earth Online".

Zhu Zhiwei looked at An Wuyang carefully for a moment and found that the rumors about An Wuyang on the Internet seemed to be very biased.

The opinions about An Wuyang on the Internet are rather one-sided. For example, some people on the Internet say that An Wuyang is lustful, otherwise how could he have so many girlfriends?

However, Zhu Zhiwei clearly noticed that An Wuyang's gaze towards her was normal, without any disgusting look.

Zhu Zhiwei could see that!

Zhu Zhiwei knew she was beautiful. She wasn't stupid; how could she not know she was beautiful?
Perhaps online goblins always fantasize that pretty girls are unaware of their own beauty, thus allowing goblins to take advantage of them.

But the goblin's fantasy is just that—fantasy!

Zhu Zhiwei knew that she was very beautiful and came from a very good family, yet An Wuyang did not show any greedy look in her eyes. Doesn't that say something?

Zhu Zhiwei asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to enter the computer chip field at dawn?"

"The team you invested in was also supported by Tsinghua University for over seven years, with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan, yet there were no results," Zhu Zhiwei added. An Wuyang calmly responded, "We were already very aware of this before we invested."

"Are you aware that the development of silicon-based chips is accelerating?" Zhu Zhiwei asked.

An Wuyang asked in confusion, "Hasn't the development of silicon-based chips hit a bottleneck?"

“I remember that the manufacturing process of silicon-based chips is approaching its physical limits, and the development of lithography machines has also hit a bottleneck. Even the so-called ‘Moore’s Law’ has come to a standstill,” An Wuyang added.

"You're referring to the CPU field," Zhu Zhiwei explained.

"You're investing in carbon-based chip technology to develop artificial intelligence technology, right?" Zhu Zhiwei asked.

An Wuyang nodded; this was indeed Wujingtian's purpose.

Given the restrictions and blockades imposed by the United States in related fields, if Wugengtian wants to conduct research on artificial intelligence technology and adapt the AI ​​system to medical research and development, it has no choice but to find its own solutions.

There is no such thing as "borrowing" at the forefront of research and development.

After all, adopting others' ideas means being subject to their control, so how can one reach the forefront of technology?
"Have you considered just how difficult it will be to develop artificial intelligence technology in the unfamiliar field of carbon-based chips?" Zhu Zhiwei asked.

An Wuyang replied, "Of course I've thought about it!"

"As for the difficulty, we are very clear that it is at the level of ascending to the heavens," An Wuyang sighed.

"But does that mean we shouldn't do it just because it's difficult?" An Wuyang countered.

"In the field of silicon-based chips, artificial intelligence technology is being strangled. Whether it's hardware technology or the software ecosystem, we are restricted in every aspect," An Wuyang added.

“What we do at dawn is cutting-edge research in medicine and advanced medical care, so it’s difficult for us to use other people’s technologies for research, whether it’s a mature artificial intelligence system, a software ecosystem, or other people’s hardware,” An Wuyang added.

“After all, when the interests involved are too great, how can we be sure that the artificial intelligence systems and hardware devices we introduce from the outside don’t have backdoors?” An Wuyang asked.

Zhu Zhiwei was silent for a moment before responding, "You're right."

"I'm curious, how much do you plan to invest in the carbon-based chip project at Five Glow?" Zhu Zhiwei asked An Wuyang.

"Is this something I can say?" Zhu Zhiwei teased.

An Wuyang responded with a smile, "What's wrong with saying this?"

“Shuimu University invested approximately 1.75 million yuan over seven years, more than 20 million yuan each year, which we felt was too little,” An Wuyang explained.

An Wuyang paused briefly before saying, “Our investment in the carbon-based chip project at dawn.”

“The registered capital of Carbon-Based Transformation Technology Company was 100 million yuan, and then an additional 400 million yuan was immediately added, so the current registered capital is 500 million yuan, and it is fully paid up,” An Wuyang explained.

"In addition, we have increased the budget by 500 million, which is a total investment of 1 billion Xia Guoyuan," An Wuyang explained.

This is the first phase of investment to trigger the career package [Complete set of materials on carbon-based chip basic technology and 90-nanometer commercial technology].

(↑A milestone in carbon-based chip investment)
Zhu Zhiwei paused for a couple of seconds before replying, "Although a 1 billion yuan investment is more than what Tsinghua University invested, it's actually just a drop in the ocean when it comes to carbon-based chip technology."

"You should know that we have had several projects in the field of silicon-based chips in China, and it is normal for these projects to have investments exceeding tens of billions of yuan, and some even reaching hundreds of billions of yuan," Zhu Zhiwei reminded.

"You guys are up at dawn," Zhu Zhiwei paused, unsure how to phrase it without dampening the mood.

An Wuyang calmly replied, "I know what you're talking about. Our investment of one billion in carbon-based chip technology at Wugengtian is indeed just a drop in the ocean."

“But what if I said we don’t set an investment cap?” An Wuyang added.

"If one billion isn't enough, then one hundred billion; if one hundred billion isn't enough, then one hundred billion; if one hundred billion isn't enough, then two hundred billion, three hundred billion, until we get results!" An Wuyang stretched out his right fist, expressing his determination through body language.

Zhu Zhiwei looked at An Wuyang in surprise. Was the other party so determined?
"Aren't you afraid of losing money on your investments?" Zhu Zhiwei asked rhetorically.

An Wuyang looked at Zhu Zhiwei and asked teasingly, "Sister Zhiwei, why did you ask such a naive question?"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhiwei hesitated slightly. Was her question naive?

"You mean, even if we've invested hundreds of billions, we still haven't achieved any research results. Doesn't that mean we've lost money, right?" An Wuyang expanded on the question.

"Yes," Zhu Zhiwei answered affirmatively, "Have you considered this question?"

"Investing in a completely new technology field like carbon-based chips in the early hours of the morning carries a very high failure rate, and could very likely result in the complete loss of hundreds of billions of yuan," Zhu Zhiwei warned.

An Wuyang couldn't help but smile, "So what if we lost money!"

Zhu Zhiwei hesitated.

"What's the use of money?" An Wuyang simply spread his hands like a bear.

His tone was just like that of Mr. Ma, after all, Mr. Ma didn't like money either.

Zhu Zhiwei suddenly realized.

“Money isn’t really that useful to us at Wugengtian, Sister Zhiwei, you should have figured that out by now, right?” An Wuyang asked rhetorically.

Zhu Zhiwei nodded; she suddenly understood!
No wonder they're undertaking massive infrastructure projects in the early hours of the morning, even considering building a nuclear power plant.

In addition, large-scale investments are planned in the entirely new technological field of carbon-based chips.

For Wugengtian, if it has too much money lying in its accounts, it will inevitably attract attention, thus triggering greedy external covetousness.

This is a choice made out of human nature, and it is simply unavoidable.

Besides, money lying in an account is just a string of numbers, what's the use?

The best option for Anwuyang is to turn this string of numbers into a usable resource.

After all, Zhu Zhiwei didn't know the true situation of carbon-based chip technology, so how could An Wuyang not know?
The business development package they received regarding carbon-based chip technology included a list of corresponding milestones, clearly outlining what level of investment would unlock what level of technology.

Simply put, carbon-based chip technology is bound to succeed after an investment of hundreds of billions. An Wuyang isn't really afraid of investment failure, but on the surface, he naturally has to put on an act to make it seem more reasonable.
