Recently, Zhao Ye has visited the high-speed rail research and development center multiple times to learn about the situation.

In the experiment, the high-speed train reached a speed of 373.2 kilometers per hour.

However, there are still many problems when applied to real-world situations.

Foreign high-speed rail technology was actually very advanced at that time, and even ahead of China's.

However, they lack the motivation to develop high-speed rail.

Currently, Japan, South Korea, and some European countries have the most advanced high-speed rail technology. However, their land area is small, only equivalent to a province in China, so there is no need for them to spend a lot of money to develop faster high-speed rail.

However, this gave China's high-speed rail a chance to catch up!

With its vast land area, China's high-speed rail industry has a promising future and plays an extraordinary role.

In addition to investing in high-speed rail, Zhao Ye has also invested in maglev trains, although it is still uncertain when the maglev train will be completed.

In the past, maglev trains were fast, but they were very expensive and were not widely adopted.

High-speed rail is currently the most economical and practical technology in China, and it is also the technology most likely to be realized soon.

Zhao Ye hopes that China will be able to build high-speed rail on a large scale next year and open it to traffic in 2006.

By the time China hosted the 2008 Olympics, high-speed rail had become widespread in China, allowing athletes and tourists from all over the world to experience China's speed and be amazed by it!

Starting in August 2003, the internet companies under the Wujiang Group went public one by one, subsequently creating one stock market miracle after another!

No one expected that starting from the beginning of 2003, internet companies such as Baidu, Facebook, Weibo, Twitter, ICQ, Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Ctrip, Netflix, YouTube, Pandora Music, and Qidian would find their own business models.

Subsequently, major internet companies sought to list on the Chinese A-share market, attracting a frenzy of global capital. Currently, the three listed companies, Amazon, Taobao, and Baidu, have market capitalizations of RMB 100 billion, RMB 980.3 billion, and RMB 842.8 billion, respectively.

Based on the current exchange rate of approximately 1:8 between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan.

These three companies are all large corporations with market capitalizations exceeding $100 billion!

Previously, Amazon's stock price had plummeted on NASDAQ in the United States, and its market value had fallen to less than 10 billion US dollars.

In the blink of an eye, just over six months later, Amazon relisted, and its market value increased more than tenfold.

When the news reached the United States, countless American stock market investors were filled with regret and despair.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Even a lot of American capital is now flowing into China.

China's A-share market has been a continuous spectacle of incredible wealth, attracting massive amounts of capital to flow into the Chinese stock market and, to some extent, driving up the stock prices of Chinese listed companies.

...

Chairman's office, Wujiang Building.

"As of now, the market capitalization of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges has surpassed that of the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the first time, rising to second place globally with a market capitalization exceeding US$5.4 trillion, second only to the New York Stock Exchange. The market capitalization of the New York Stock Exchange is US$100 billion."

Liu Yinyin took a sip of tea and said confidently, "However, the market capitalization of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges is growing very rapidly, and may surpass that of the New York Stock Exchange within the next five years!"

The reason is simple: if all the companies under Wujiang Group are listed on the A-share market, the total value would be an unimaginable astronomical figure.

Zhao Ye smiled upon hearing this, seemingly agreeing with Liu Yinyin's words.

Before its rebirth, Apple's market value had exceeded $3 trillion, a figure that is simply unbelievable!

Even they probably wouldn't dare to write it like that, but that's how reality is.

If Apple, a mere company, has such a high market capitalization, then what about Wujiang Group?!

The scale of capital is limited; if funds go to China, then the amount of funds flowing to the United States decreases.

"It's only a matter of time before the market capitalization of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges surpasses that of the New York Stock Exchange... Getting back to the point, right now, the United States is busy with counterterrorism, and its strategic core is in the Middle East. We must seize this opportunity to vigorously develop our national strength, especially our military power! Without sufficient military deterrence, the more money we have, the more dangerous it is, like a child carrying gold through a bustling market, fearing robbery!" Zhao Ye paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Therefore, I plan to have Galaxy Technology Company produce various military equipment, including fighter jets, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, drones, radar, missiles, artillery, and so on."

It's not that Galaxy Technology insists on developing in the military industry; it's just that some countries are really too wicked, bullying other countries by relying on their strong military and economic power.

China must have the ability to protect itself so that others dare not bully it.

When others assume you have more advanced weapons than them, then you'd better actually have them.

In reality, the Western world is a paper tiger, a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.

Zhao Ye remembered a funny incident from his past life: when the US discovered that Iran really had a giant mushroom, they immediately changed their tune or pretended not to hear, and hesitated to take military action against Iran.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinyin looked surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she voiced her question: "Chairman Zhao, Galaxy Technology Company is going to enter the military industry on a large scale. I wonder if the government will approve it?"

Zhao Ye replied, "I've actually considered this issue before, and I think it should be approved. After all, many foreign military giants are not state-owned enterprises. Of course, the most crucial point is that Galaxy Technology's technical capabilities are extremely strong. If the country wants to produce more advanced weapons, it must rely on Galaxy Technology's technology!"
