Chapter 330: Suicide! Everyone will be blessed!
The top executives of Quantum Technology were in a meeting to discuss a matter of moderate importance.
This matter originated from a post on the Internet: Why doesn’t Quantum Technology make its own game console?
As soon as this post was released, it immediately caused a huge response and received countless supporters.
The reason is that I feel that both PS3 and XBOX360 are not friendly in the country.
Since gaming is the ninth art and the core pillar of spiritual entertainment, why can't we make our own game consoles?
In the PC sector, Lenovo has almost the largest market share in the world.
Now that smartphones have quantum technology, and even in stand-alone games, Lin Xiao's system has reached the world's leading level, so we can completely create our own game console platform.
Look at Nintendo, look at Sony, look at Microsoft.
Not to mention that the Ergou system owns so many powerful game IPs. Among the four stand-alone masterpieces currently launched, two have sales of more than 20 million, and the other two have exceeded 15 million.
As long as these game IPs are exclusive to their own game console platforms, the sales of the game consoles will skyrocket.
Not to mention anything else, tens of millions of units can be sold in the domestic market alone.
This post received completely overwhelming support, and then countless netizens and countless fans began to call on Master Ergou to produce game consoles under their real names.
The PS platform is from Japan, Microsoft XBOX is from the United States, and China must also have its own game console platform.
We are about to enter 2011, and the next few years will be an era of explosive nationalist sentiment.
Countless people expect domestic brands to have everything, including game consoles.
There is no doubt that once Quantum Technology enters the game console market, it will achieve some kind of success, because it will really have many popular exclusive games.
Moreover, with the effect of Master Ergou, it will surely sell well in the domestic market.
"We can't do everything." Lin Xiao said slowly: "The game console platform is too unchallenging for us."
We can't do everything.
This sentence is the core.
For this sentence, Lin Xiao gave up a lot of business.
He does not intend to get involved in the so-called Meituan, the so-called food delivery, or even the future taxi-hailing platform.
Of course, he will invest in and support world-class taxi-hailing platforms, but he will never do it himself.
"We at Quantum Technology only do the coolest things and the most challenging things." Lin Xiao said firmly.
So what was the coolest and most challenging? He picked three tracks.
One is electric cars, one is virtual reality, and one is AI.
Electric vehicles will be proven in a dozen years to be a successful, powerful, and extremely important industry.
Even after more than a decade, virtual reality has not been proven.
HTC got up very early and struggled for nearly ten years, but still failed to catch up.
ByteDance has made large-scale layoffs at PICO.
Even Apple's Vision Pro was not a big hit.
In the past, Facebook changed its name to META to show its determination. Although it has the largest market share in the virtual reality market, it is still a long way from profitability, let alone success.
Even... this is an industry that cannot be proven.
But Lin Xiao still chose it as a candidate industry for the future, and even felt a strong impulse in his heart.
Throughout global history, every company has only been in the limelight for a decade or so, especially technology companies.
From IBM, to Sony, to Microsoft, to Apple, to Google, etc.
It seems that in about ten years, a very cool, adventurous and pioneering company will gradually become mediocre.
In fact, sometimes it’s not that they lack drive or adventurous spirit.
Because whether it is META or Google, they are still working hard to explore and still spend huge amounts of money every year to invest in new fields.
But sometimes, there are just no very impressive results.
There is no doubt that Quantum Technology is still a cool company.
But how long can it stay cool? If Lin Xiao wants to keep being cool, then this spiritual leader may really need to keep starting businesses.
This is my third startup.
When quantum technology achieves huge success in the mobile phone industry, he may start a business for the fourth or even fifth time.
This kind of always being hungry, always having the desire and impulse for the future sounds cool.
It’s actually pretty cool too.
But whether it can be successful all the time is another matter.
Of course...his probability of success should still be greater than his probability of failure.
Because behind him stands the largest market and the most supporters.
Sometimes, just having a flag standing there is enough to make a difference.
……………………
Almost within a short period of time, Kazuo Hirai, the new chairman of Sony Group, called.
Then, Microsoft CEO Ballmer also called.
Neither of them tried to be polite but got straight to the point quickly.
Because this is Lin Xiao’s communication style.
The two people asked the same question: Does Quantum Technology intend to enter the game console platform? If it were another businessman, he might be vague about it, or even use it as a bargaining chip.
Lin Xiao's answer was firm and decisive.
"No, we have no interest in the gaming console space."
Hirai Kazuo smiled and said, "I knew this was the answer, but the board of directors was still worried and asked me to call and ask."
Ballmer: "Although I know this is the answer, thank you very much for your answer."
Now many bigwigs around the world are not only accustomed to Lin Xiao’s way of communication, but have even fallen in love with it.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao received a call from Li Hu.
Although Li Hu now has a very close relationship with the Lin family, he actually seldom calls.
"Mr. Lin, there is such a thing, Liao Er, do you know about it?"
Although Lin Xiao repeatedly asked Li Hu to call him by his name, the other party still called him Mr. Lin, but called Lin Xiao Dad and directly called him Brother.
Lin Xiao: “I know.”
Li Hu: "He is going to Daye Village and donated one million to the Paopao Foundation. How should we arrange it?"
Lin Xiao frowned slightly.
A few years ago, he and the Liao family fought a life-and-death battle.
Especially in several fatal crises, Liao Er was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Not only are the other party's methods ruthless, but the key is that they are also very ugly. They want to defeat you in public opinion and position for no apparent reason, and then directly swallow up your money-making industry.
In recent years, there have been very few direct conflicts between the two sides.
Especially after the leader had made a complete decision, the other party had become completely dormant.
So Lin Xiaozhen never did anything bad to them, because they were not close to him, and he had too many things to do and had no energy to be distracted.
"The other party is begging for mercy." Li Hu said: "He took the initiative to come to Daye Village to ask to see your father and your grandfather, indicating that he has completely admitted defeat and surrendered, showing weakness and lowliness."
"The key is, what should we do here?"
Lin Xiao: "Uncle Li, what do you think?"
Li Hu: "First of all, it's hard to refuse. Otherwise, it will give people the impression that you are taking advantage of your power and want to kill us all."
"Secondly, you are a businessman after all, so it is not appropriate to let a bureau-level official visit your home in such a blatant way, and you must not let people have this feeling that Lin Xiao's father is meeting with the leader Liao at home."
Lin Xiao immediately thought of Hengtai’s richest man, and the word “meeting” was used in the internal newspaper.
Then I thought of a certain Master Wang, who simply named his mansion the Wang Mansion and invited many dignitaries to visit his home.
Li Hu continued, "So, I want to accept Liao Er's donation on behalf of the county, and accompany him to inspect the nursing home in Daye Village. And take your father, your grandfather, and other elderly people in the village to the village committee to meet Liao Er, and don't let him go home."
"This shows both a humble attitude on our part and a kind of indifference."
Lin Xiao said: "Uncle Li, your arrangement is very sound, I will do as you say."
Li Hu hesitated for a moment and asked, "There is one more thing."
Lin Xiao: “You say.”
Li Hu: "It's Wu Yuan, do you remember him?"
Of course I remember that this was Lin Xiao’s first enemy, who was sent to prison by Lin Xiao. What’s more, he happened to be Li Shuang’s biological father.
Lin Xiao: “Remember.”
Li Hu: "Because of Mr. Li and you, some people now want to get him out early. Wasn't he sentenced to life imprisonment before? Later it was changed to 20 years. Now they want to reduce it further, and then let him out on medical parole."
"Of course, this is all to please you, Mr. Li."
"Then, this matter was handed over to me. I wonder if it will have a negative impact on you if it is handled."
Lin Xiao fell silent.
At this point, the resentment he had towards Wu Yuan had long been thrown out of his mind, and this man had been in prison for almost nine years.
He certainly wouldn't say something lofty like "everyone is equal before the law."
After a long while, Lin Xiao said, "Uncle Li, go ask Sister Shuang about this matter. I support everything and it is entirely based on her wishes."
"And tell her that I am inclined to let Wu Yuan come out."
Li Hu: "I understand."
……………………
Next, Liao Er went to Linshan County on behalf of his unit and donated one million to the Bubble Foundation.
Of course, it is not in the name of an individual, but in the name of an organization.
Xiao Wanli, the head of the foundation, accepted the donation, and then accompanied Liao Er to Daye Village together with relevant personnel from Linshan County to inspect the nursing home.
They were even very polite and asked him to write an inscription.
After the inspection, Liao Er suddenly asked, "I heard that Mr. Lin Xiao's father is in this village?"
Li Hu said: "That's right."
Liao Er said, "Although Mr. Lin and I have not met often, we have known each other for a long time. I admire his work very much. As a junior, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to pay a visit to Mr. Lin's grandfather and father?"
Li Hu said: "Convenient, convenient, I'll arrange it."
Liao Er felt a little happy in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt.
Businessmen are businessmen, and they tend to become arrogant after making money.
The lower class people are born into the lower class and are not sensitive at all.
No matter what, I am a bureau-level leader, and I am not from Kecheng City. I said I wanted to pay you a visit, and you dared to agree so boldly? This would not only make me look weak.
Does it make Lin Xiao appear even more arrogant as a businessman? If the big boss saw this, he probably wouldn't be happy either.
Next, Li Hu took Liao Er directly to the village committee.
Lin Xiao’s father and grandfather were indeed there, but they were also accompanied by other elderly people in the village, including two centenarians.
Liao Er felt a slight chill in his heart.
However, the TV station was following him all the way, and facing a group of elderly people, including a centenarian, he quickly bent down and his posture became extremely humble.
………………
That evening, the Kecheng TV station immediately broadcast the news, and Li Hu also immediately reported it to Lian Zheng.
After reading it, Lian Zheng said to his wife Shu Wan, "I hate people like this the most. Their heads are full of political tricks."
Shu Wan asked, "Is there any problem with Xiaoxiao's response?"
Lian Zheng: "No problem, he handled it very well. Li Hu is a talent. But he can't be promoted. The key is that he doesn't want to be promoted. He has to stay in Linshan to guard the house."
Then, Lian Zheng called his leader's secretary and reported the matter.
The other party didn't take Lian Zheng as an outsider at all, and just laughed and said, "You are too clever for your own good."
The direction of this statement is too obvious, and the other party will almost never say it out loud most of the time. It is because the relationship with Lian Zheng is too good. They are not only personal friends, but also allies who help each other.
Lian Zheng was on the phone while Shu Wan was looking at her watch. When the time came, she ran into the room and called her daughter.
I make a regular phone call every day, and there's nothing much to it, just gossip.
"Little Water Drop, it's almost time for you to get ready."
"You are now at the golden age for having children."
"Now when I see a baby, I get really greedy."
"You better hold on tight."
Lian Yi was a little embarrassed and said shyly: "Preparing, preparing."
………………
Li Shuang went to see Wu Yuan.
"We are arranging for you to be released on medical parole. You will probably be able to be released early next year. We have also bought a house for you."
"But don't stay in Linshan, otherwise you will be an eyesore to my parents. You can only live in Kecheng at best, or even Kecheng is not allowed. Go live in Hangzhou."
Although he is Wu Yuan's biological father, Li Shuang has always had a bad attitude towards Wu Yuan, completely ordering him around.
But at this moment, Wu Yuan looked at Li Shuang with a completely fatherly gaze, and he was even reluctant to look away.
After he went to prison, his wife ran away, his son had no future, and he was just hanging around, and the most important thing was that he had no conscience.
Only his daughter Li Shuang, who had a bad attitude, would come to see him every once in a while.
At the beginning, because he had too much evidence on too many people, his life in prison was very difficult. He felt like every day was a year long and even had thoughts of committing suicide.
But as Li Shuang became more and more prosperous, his life in prison became easier and easier.
And now, we can even be considered to be living a life of luxury.
From the guards to the prisoners, everyone was very nice to him.
Wu Yuan suddenly asked, "Is Facebook Group listed? Its market value is 120 billion US dollars?"
"After Lightning Group goes public, will its market value exceed 100 billion?"
“Will the market value of quantum technology exceed this number? Has the market share of X operating system far exceeded that of Android platform?”
Li Shuang was stunned. You are a bad guy who only knows how to dig sand and bully men and women. You didn't even know about computer viruses before, but now you know all this? You even know that the market share of mobile phone operating systems far exceeds that of Android?
Wu Yuan scratched his head and said, "I read the news every day and asked the supervisor to give me science and technology newspapers. I just want to show some concern."
Li Shuang: "It has nothing to do with you! No matter how successful he is, it has nothing to do with you. Although I have money, I can only guarantee your basic living. You can't expect anything else. What do you think about every day?"
Faced with Li Shuang's cold tone and lecturing tone, Wu Yuan did not completely ignore it and just smiled.
"Xiao Shuang, I'm not leaving." After a moment of silence, Wu Yuan suddenly said, "I've already reduced my sentence to 15 years, and maybe I can reduce it again. I'll probably just stay in there for another four years. If I leave like this, it might become your weakness, something others can use to attack you."
"Anyway, my life in there is pretty good. I feel happy and hopeful. It's better to be in jail."
"That's it. Forget about the medical parole. I will stay here until the end of my sentence."
"It would be best if I could go out and see my precious grandchildren who would call me grandpa."
Li Shuang was stunned, her eyes slightly warmed, and she said coldly: "You wish for it."
Wu Yuan: "You don't want a child, do you? Listen to me, Shuang'er, you must have a child, you must have a child."
Li Shuang: "Yes, but I won't call you grandpa."
Wu Yuan: "Don't shout, don't shout, just give birth!"
Li Shuang was silent for a while: "Are you sure you don't want to be released on medical parole or released early?"
Wu Yuan: “Not coming out.”
Li Shuang: "It's up to you."
At the same time! Liao Er received a call.
Liao Feng committed suicide in prison!
