Only when Chinese people go abroad can they avoid being looked down upon.
Subsequently, Zhao Ye spent about a week preparing the materials, outlining the feasibility and importance of the Eurasian submarine optical cable mega-project.
Then, he had someone send the document to the relevant department, hoping to get national support.
Domestic leaders had long been familiar with Wujiang.com and understood the importance of the internet.
Therefore, we strongly support the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable mega-project.
At one meeting, an official even stated that the role of the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable is not only to make communication between Asia and Europe closer, but also to bring countries along the route into China's Internet standards!
We missed the industrial age and the electrical age; we cannot afford to miss the information age!
Wujiang Group has created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our country to surpass the United States. Our nation must seize this opportunity to achieve the goals of national prosperity and rejuvenation!
The Eurasian subsea mega-project has received strong support from the country; however, it is currently only one-sided, and the intentions of the European side are still unknown.
...
Wujiang Group Company.
Chairman's Office.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, do you think we should immediately submit the Asia-Europe submarine optical cable mega-project plan to Europe?" an official asked.
Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Europeans are profit-driven and won't act until they see tangible benefits. They won't agree to this plan until they see the advantages of the internet!"
"You mean, after you release the Hasee 2 and iBook 1, creating an internet frenzy, you'll then contact Europe to support the construction of the Asia-Europe submarine fiber optic cable?"
"Um!"
This mega-project is too complex for Wujiang Group to handle; it's necessary to bring China and Europe into it.
The official thought about it and felt that Zhao Ye's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say!"
Zhao Ye frowned and said, "I'm not worried about Europe, but I'm afraid the United States will step in to stop this mega-project. The most likely scenario is that this project will ultimately be stillborn..."
There's no way around it, the United States is just too powerful now.
Two years ago, when it flexed its muscles in the Gulf, it scared the rest of the world.
The current world order is one superpower and multiple strong powers. No country has the confidence to stand up to the United States.
The official was speechless upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh slightly, then comforted the officials, saying, "Even if we can't develop the Eurasian submarine optical cable mega-project now, it doesn't mean we can't in the future! We will definitely be able to build this mega-project!"
Under the influence of the Wujiang Group, China's development speed has far surpassed that of its predecessor.
Moreover, Wujiang Group has almost completely hijacked the US technology sector in multiple fields.
Although the effects are not yet very obvious, the pace of US economic development is bound to slow down over time.
The Wujiang Group will dominate multiple technology sectors.
Especially in the semiconductor field, Wujiang Group has already deployed immersion lithography machines. Once successful, the chips developed by Wujiang Group will have performance far exceeding that of American chips.
Chips play an incredibly important role in the development of high technology.
Without advanced chips, technological development will be limited.
In its previous life, China imported $350 billion worth of chips every year. Spending so much money on chips was truly heartbreaking.
If the situation were reversed, with China exporting $350 billion worth of chips annually and the entire chip industry chain booming, how prosperous and powerful would China become?!
When China has the confidence to say "no" to anyone, who would dare to obstruct the mere Eurasian Sea submarine optical cable mega-project?
At this moment, Zhao Ye did not feel discouraged at all; on the contrary, he became stronger and more confident.
The future of China is bright.
Wujiang Group has great potential!
...
...
At this point, the United States was somewhat puzzled as to why Wujiang Group was spending so much money to enter the ISP field.
"Wujiang Group is so optimistic about ISPs? Does this mean ISPs have huge development potential?"
Many American experts, professors, economists, and even Wall Street found it incredible.
They simply didn't see the value of the internet.
The investment and the rate of return are not commensurate.
Is Zhao Ye out of his mind?
AOL.
When founder Steve Case saw the news, he was ecstatic.
AOL is an American ISP (Internet Service Provider). Recently, Steve Case has been traveling to various investors and financial institutions, trying to secure funding for AOL.
Things weren't going well at first. Investors weren't optimistic about AOL. They either refused outright or imposed harsh conditions, wanting to invest a small amount of money to take away a large number of AOL shares.
Steve Case was so exhausted that he was considering giving up on AOL.
In truth, Zhao Ye is to blame for the difficulties AOL has faced in its development.
His failure to launch the World Wide Web caused the global development of the Internet to stagnate.
Of course, it would be difficult for AOL to expand its ISP business.
It's already quite impressive that they've managed to persevere this long.
Now, Wujiang Group is actually investing heavily to enter the ISP industry.
Even if Wall Street is not optimistic about ISPs, there are still people willing to take a gamble.
Zhao Ye has almost been mythologized; his achievements in the business world are unparalleled.
