In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for small countries to maintain neutrality and maneuver between large countries.
Merlin's release of all the encrypted data from America was tantamount to tearing America's underwear off.
Even with the advantage of media coverage, America can no longer occupy the moral high ground, as many things have crossed the line.
In fact, the outside world already knew about it, but the knowledge was fragmented and intermittent.
For example, the American experiment conducted in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948 involved as many as 5,500 Guatemalans as subjects.
Even earlier, in 1932, experiments were conducted on Black people in Alabama, within the United States.
Similar incidents have been reported in the media, but they haven't generated a significant public outcry against America. It's like a passing breeze, gone as quickly as it came.
Merlin's website published these events, forming a chain that showed the Amerikan experiments were continuous and involved many named individuals.
Biological experiments are just one small aspect; many other secrets have been revealed.
Like the continent of Europe, swept up by public opinion, the boycott of America even surpassed that of Russia.
Singapore previously straddled the fence between America and China, but in reality, it leaned towards America.
With America’s actions exposed, Singapore realized that if the confrontation escalated, Singapore would become a sacrifice when America needed it.
I had a premonition before, but people always have a bit of wishful thinking, and now many of these things have been confirmed.
Therefore, Singapore wants to maintain absolute neutrality, so Zheng Li's safety in Singapore is guaranteed.
In fact, Zheng Li had already arranged multiple measures to ensure his safety.
A mage must be cautious when necessary.
Following the public debut of Magoyin, not only Kechuang Biotechnology increased its R&D investment in Magoyin.
Domestic internet giants like Alibaba and Tencent have increased their investments.
The internet industry has also been struggling in recent years, with peripheral departments of large companies often facing the risk of layoffs.
This kind of layoff isn't just about one person; it could involve laying off one-third to two-thirds of the entire department, with the remaining staff being reassigned to other departments. It could even mean an entire department being laid off.
Even in core departments, the rate of personnel turnover is slowing down.
Now, these large companies will assess the employees to be laid off before internal optimization. The assessment mainly tests mathematics and algorithms. If they can pass the test, they will be transferred to the mining department.
This can be considered an internal job transfer.
December 24th is Christmas Eve, a traditional Western holiday, which also falls on a Sunday.
The launch event for the brain-computer interface VR technology of the future was held on this day.
It allows you to catch both the Chinese New Year and the Western Christmas shopping week.
During the holiday period, players' spending enthusiasm is even higher than usual.
Many major titles are deliberately released during this time period, based on this logic.
The decision to hold the brain-computer interface VR launch event on the 24th is a way of considering both domestic and international players.
"I was asked to speak at this press conference, and although I had practiced many times, I was still a little nervous. Previously, Kechuang Bio's products were all B2B, and there was no need to hold a press conference for them."
Although endorphins or brain-computer interfaces are for personal use, they are procured by institutions and will not be sold directly to patients by Kechuang Biotechnology.
The night before the press conference, Li Miaomiao called her sister to try to relieve the pressure.
Li Shuyao had already graduated with a master's degree and, as she wished, stayed at CICC to work in its investment research department.
"Instead of calling me, you should call Zheng Li. Talking to him will help relieve your anxiety."
“I haven’t finished my work yet. CICC really treats men and women like animals, keeping them on high-intensity standby 24 hours a day.”
"Now I understand why they say the end of the universe is being a civil servant. Civil servants can balance their careers and lives. If I had to choose again, I'd definitely choose to be a selected graduate in Jiangcheng."
"Working in a securities firm means having a career but no life."
Li Miaomiao said helplessly, "It's not too late for you to take the civil service exam now."
“I just finished talking to Zheng Li on the phone. He told me that he believed in me and that I could do it, and then he went to do his own thing.”
"This kind of comfort, how should I put it, is very perfunctory."
After chuckling twice, Li Shuyao teased, "It's good enough that Zheng Shen can comfort you with a few words."
"You're treating the people below like they don't exist. I still don't understand why you couldn't have just had Lei Jun run this press conference."
"Mr. Lei has seen it all, he's been through a lot. Besides, Da Mi is one of the shareholders of Kechuang Future."
Li Miaomiao explained, "President Lei's entire focus is on Dami Auto. Dami Auto is scheduled to launch next March, so he can't spare the time."
"Are there any other senior executives at Tencent who want to host the press conference? This is a great opportunity to shine in front of millions of players," Li Shuyao asked.
Li Miaomiao sighed: "They all think that if Zheng Li isn't here, my presence at the press conference will attract the most attention."
Li Shuyao nodded: "That makes sense. People always want to see beautiful women speaking, not nerdy guys."
In Japan, some manufacturers are planning to develop visual novels specifically for brain-computer interface VR, hoping to provide players with an immersive experience.
Li Miaomiao sighed, "I'm really afraid I'll underperform when the time comes."
Li Shuyao: "What's there to be afraid of if we have a teleprompter? At worst, we can just read from the script. In the end, the product speaks for itself."
"When will you send me one of your brain-computer interface VR devices? I'll do an evaluation for you."
Li Miaomiao: "I will send you one after the press conference tomorrow. I personally think it is very good. Compared with traditional VR, its ease of operation and playability are much better."
Li Shuyao: "Absolutely. We have discussed brain-computer interface VR internally, and we all agree that it is a direction with great potential."
"In the field of brain-computer interfaces, Kechuang Bio only has Neuralink as a benchmark, which is why Neuralink's products can only survive in the mid-range mobile phone market, but its valuation is still over 10 billion US dollars."
“You need to cherish this time. Once Neuralink can develop a similar brain-computer interface VR technology, America will definitely find various reasons to prevent your brain-computer interface VR from entering the America market.”
Li Miaomiao: "I also know that we have already received some information that America is considering whether to raise taxes or simply ban brain-computer interface VR."
"It's just that Merlin has caused too much trouble recently, leaving America with no energy to discuss these matters. But sooner or later, they will face sanctions."
"The sword of sanctions was only a matter of time before it fell, and we were already prepared internally."
"It's just unclear what the Europa League's attitude is right now. They will most likely impose a fine, the only question is the amount."
Li Shuyao: "If it's just a fine, your wealth means it's not a problem."
