Moreover, before they came to Suzhou, they were instructed not to ask questions they shouldn't.
After Li Miaomiao finished speaking, the AR device in the reception room automatically projected a bio-communication tree onto the open space in the middle, with a realistic 3D light and shadow effect.
Augmented reality devices will be fully deployed by 2031, and some companies with some resources will equip their conference rooms with similar devices.
Although remote work is the trend, large enterprises still have some meetings that need to be held in person.
Augmented reality is the perfect tool for showing off.
However, the rapid popularization of AR in recent years has caused this thing to lose its cool factor.
"Mr. Li, I'd like to ask about our payment terms for this collaboration?"
Li Miaomiao replied, "You can think of Kechuang Bio as a hardware vendor. We not only buy the seedlings of the virtual biological tree, but also the subsequent culture medium and cultivation guidance."
Another point is that virtual reality devices cannot be charged based on data usage, as the data interaction involved is far beyond what VR can match.
Moreover, virtual reality devices use bio-computer technology, and the data volume statistics are different from those of traditional Internet data calculation.
So our idea is to charge by monthly or yearly fee, for example, how much for internet access per month, and then a discount for a year.
We can discuss the specific fees in detail after we decide on our partners.
This portion of the revenue is split 30/70, with the operator taking 70% and us taking 30%.
As one of China's three major telecom operators, they've never heard of such conditions before.
This is equivalent to Huawei selling communication equipment to them, and then their revenue having to be shared with Huawei.
This is a pricing model that has never been seen before.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we are willing to pay for the equipment purchase, including the cost of the culture medium."
However, it's far too harsh for Kechuang Bio to demand 30% of the monthly rent.
Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "Because of biocommunication technology, Kechuang Bio has a monopoly."
There are many manufacturers, both domestically and internationally, capable of producing traditional communication equipment.
However, looking ahead fifty years, only Kechuang Biotechnology will be able to manufacture biocommunication devices globally.
Therefore, science and technology innovation in biophysics can naturally enjoy this premium.
And with only 30%, your profit margin is still quite large.
The world has never lacked increasingly cheaper goods. With the advancement of technology and the liberation of productivity, most goods are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
However, similarly, there are also increasingly expensive goods in the world, such as healthcare, education, luxury goods, and monopolistic industries.
For many years, the licensing of Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface technology has not only not decreased in price, but has actually increased in price every year in line with the rate of currency devaluation.
The partner manufacturers still recognize it, and consumers also only recognize Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface technology.
This is not only because Kechuang Biotechnology has a substantial monopoly in the market, but also because the subconscious idea that Kechuang Biotechnology's brain-computer interface technology is the best is deeply rooted in the minds of global consumers.
This is similar to the fact that the biological value of labor is limited; whether in China or other countries, ordinary workers can only make ends meet.
Ordinary laborers earn just enough to survive, while skilled workers are the ones who can enjoy a premium.
Moreover, once the technology becomes widespread, there is no longer a premium, as new technologies replace old ones.
The price of labor is determined by market competition.
In the market, capitalists invest capital and their labor, while employees invest their labor. Through market pricing and competition, the capitalists take away the surplus and principal, while the laborers take away the wages for their labor. When laborers accumulate a certain amount of capital, develop their own ideas, and start their own businesses, they invest their own capital and labor, thus becoming capitalists.
The surplus of capital plus labor lies in the increase in capital efficiency and labor efficiency, which depends on technology, thus knowledge workers can be exchanged with capitalists.
In the stage of technological stock, cross-regional capital and labor arbitrage occurs when interest rates are extremely high and labor is cheap in underdeveloped regions. At this time, the pricing model for exploiting surplus value emerges, which is the labor price difference between developed and underdeveloped regions.
From the perspective of comparative advantage of products, it is undoubtedly the workers in developed countries who are being exploited. Capital can move freely and avoid losses, but the only option for laborers is to migrate illegally in the opposite direction.
Domestic capital is moving towards automation to avoid losses.
In recent years, with the explosive growth of artificial intelligence technology, global capital has been returning to its home country and surrounding regions.
The previous practice of profiting from cross-regional labor arbitrage is no longer viable.
Because artificial intelligence technology can offset the advantage of cheap labor.
Developing countries and underdeveloped regions have very few advantages left after deducting their labor force advantage.
The tax rate is low, but your goods will be subject to taxation when they return to their home country.
Generally speaking, developing countries and underdeveloped regions have insufficient hydropower and infrastructure, and often face sudden water and power outages.
In addition, the legal systems in these areas are not perfect, so even if you make a profit, you will be forced to give up a portion of it.
This phenomenon is particularly evident in India, but it does not mean that it does not exist in other ASEAN countries.
Therefore, once the only advantage of Third World countries—cheap labor—is offset by artificial intelligence, the incentive for capital to migrate to these places disappears.
Forget about comparative advantage, we're actually at a comparative disadvantage.
Therefore, China was the last country to benefit from technology diffusion.
Returning to biocommunication technology, monopolistic technologies can enjoy a unique premium.
