According to Microsoft's official statements, the collaboration with Lockheed Martin can improve the company's manufacturing and assembly efficiency by 90%.
Brain-computer interface technology is also a game-changer for the industrial VR field, and Microsoft, which has long been committed to this field, is extremely eager to obtain the license for this technology.
Gates even asked, "If we can successfully lobby the Chinese government, would you be willing to license your brain-computer interface technology?"
We can adopt the same cooperation model as Chinese companies such as Kechuang Biotechnology, Huawei, and Dami.
We will do this by establishing a joint venture between our two parties.
Zheng Li chose to pass the buck to the authorities: "You need to convince the Chinese government first before we can discuss further cooperation."
Gates replied, "You know, this is not an easy thing to do. Doing it without your consent would be a waste for us."
In Chinese terms, this will involve using our 'connections'.
Although Gates left the Microsoft board in 2020, he still maintains a certain influence over Microsoft as a founder and shareholder.
Even if a company's founder doesn't own many shares, they can still maintain a certain level of influence over the company.
This characteristic was amplified after Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple and then returned to create the mobile internet era.
Gates' personal trip to China to attend the Wuzhen Summit was at the invitation of the Microsoft board of directors, to lobby Kechuang Bio.
Having cultivated the Chinese market for many years, Gates' understanding of China is clearly no less than Musk's.
Zheng Li replied, "I think we can reach a relevant cooperation agreement; we can do so by establishing a joint venture."
Although it may sound like Kechuang Bio is at a disadvantage by licensing its technology to Microsoft.
However, in reality, if Kechuang Bio were to establish a joint venture, it would not be at a disadvantage.
Even China would be willing.
Because Microsoft's industrial VR partners include Lockheed Martin, and Amerikan is also the world's largest defense contractor.
If China could obtain the company's manufacturing data, it would be of immense value to China.
Of course, how exactly to achieve this, and whether it's a joint venture or a joint venture established with a Chinese company, how the products will enter Lockheed Martin, are all questions.
Once inside, how to bypass various restrictions and transmit the data back to mainland China is another issue altogether.
After receiving Zheng Li's promise, Gates informed the Microsoft board of directors after the conversation ended, asking them to decide whether to launch a lobbying campaign.
Zheng Li and Pichai mainly discussed the licensing of industrial VR.
Google also wants to obtain licenses for industrial VR.
In addition, Google hopes to engage in extensive cooperation with TechFuture in the field of brain-computer interface VR.
Whether in the PC era or the mobile internet era, Google can be considered a big winner.
In the PC era, they had search engines and the Chrome browser; in the mobile internet era, they had the Android system. Their ability to seize opportunities was on par with Tencent's.
However, in the metaverse era, Tencent holds shares in the future of science and technology and has taken the lead in launching the globally popular virtual universe.
Google sees no hope of surpassing the future of innovation in the VR field, and in the software field, it has yet to produce a flagship product.
In the post-mobile internet era, the presence of search engines is becoming increasingly weak, and the search engines built into various apps are sufficient to meet users' needs.
In China, the search engine built into TikTok has been used more often than Baidu throughout the year.
The same is true globally.
In the future metaverse era, people's need for search engines, or rather, integrated search engines, will be further weakened.
Therefore, on the eve of the new era, Google has been exploring what it should do internally.
Google has long invested in autonomous driving and new energy vehicles, attempting to enter the race for the future of driving.
However, Amazon and Walmart, the two largest online and offline supermarkets in America, both have their own autonomous driving projects.
Therefore, Google's market share in the field of autonomous driving has not shown a sufficient advantage, and is even slightly lagging behind.
However, the investment in Google's SS over the past few years has yet to yield any significant results.
After the advent of brain-computer interface VR, there were even frequent internal discussions at Google about whether to cancel the project.
Although the content of the conversation at the Wuzhen Summit dinner has not been widely circulated online, well-informed people have already obtained it.
Pichai is one of them. Ever since he learned that Google's AR glasses project would be launched by the end of the year, he has become even less optimistic about it.
Compared to AR glasses that are directly controlled by the brain, Google Glass, which requires pressing buttons on the edge of the glasses or being activated by voice, is far inferior in terms of technological sophistication and user experience.
Google has invested heavily in hardware, but with little success.
Whether it's Google phones or Google tablets, it's no exaggeration to say they have virtually no presence.
The Google tablet project was canceled outright, while the Google phone is still barely surviving.
The same applies to Google Glass; there is a serious mismatch between its price and its performance.
However, Pichai believes that Google Glass has its advantages.
Pichai is confident that Google has an absolute advantage in both Google Translate and Google 3D Maps.
Google has also invested nearly a decade in the research and development of AI algorithms for AR glasses.
Google also has an advantage in augmented reality display technology in the field of AR glasses.
