Chapter 155 Some Trivia



The attacker was Majid Neal, a Texas native and Columbia University dropout. He had lived in various locations throughout the 50 states and worked a variety of odd jobs. However, neighbors who knew Majid recalled that his living conditions and standard of living were not consistent with his job, and that it was impossible for him to live such a good life given his income.

But who doesn't have a side job these days? Majid is not stingy about treating his neighbors to a drink or giving them small gifts when he is happy, so no one asks about his affairs.

The official superpower organization of the Fifty State Federation took Majid very seriously. After all, they knew the situation in their own country: frequent shootings, widespread illegal drug use, and numerous extremist organizations. If there were another uncontrolled superpower organization, the situation would be even more chaotic.

However, the investigation was not smooth.

Some civilian communities in the Fifty State Federation lacked surveillance, and the country itself was already rife with illegal immigrants. If Majid had gone to such communities after leaving home and met such people, he wouldn't have been able to track them down. As for gatherings at a house on a farm in the suburbs, there was no way to track them down.

Even with the intelligence agency's capabilities, they had no clue at the moment and could only rely on slow and steady investigation.

A few days after returning to China, Si Mingyu received good news that five EUV lithography machines shipped from Taiwan had arrived in Shanghai and were being prepared for shipment to a chip manufacturing plant for installation and debugging.

For this reason, he specially called Mr. Warren to express his gratitude. What is difficult for ordinary people is not impossible for a big boss at this level.

At the same time, he also received calls from shareholders such as Boss Ma, Xiao Ma Ge, and Lei Jun. They were also impressed that Si Mingyu could get five more lithography machines. This thing is equivalent to a money printing machine at this stage. As long as it is turned on, the money will flow continuously.

When Si Mingyu gave five machines to Mr. Ren, a promising businessman in China, everyone was a little worried, fearing that things might change and delay making money. Now that the machines have arrived, not only are they relieved, but they are also full of praise for Si Mingyu.

The construction of the chip manufacturing plant is nearing completion. The chip design has been completed, and the necessities such as silicon wafers and photoresist are also ready. Once the tape-out is successful, we can just sit back and wait to collect the money.

Si Mingyu himself estimates that the net profit will be nearly 50 billion a year, which is not an exaggeration at all. This is still an underestimation for the exclusive sales in the country.

Several chronic disease treatments from the East Asia Mingyu Pharmaceutical Research Institute were also approved for marketing and immediately included in medical insurance. This was primarily because Si Mingyu didn't make money from this, so during medical insurance negotiations, he went by the official price. He earned his money from abroad.

Thanks to its robust production capacity, Dongya Mingyu Pharmaceuticals can bring the cost of its original research drugs to roughly the same level as generics. A medication that costs a few dozen yuan domestically is just over ten dollars shipped to the Fifty States. Generic drugs can cost two or three dollars, but their effectiveness is questionable. Since they can afford original research drugs, many patients in the Fifty States choose to purchase Dongya Mingyu Pharmaceuticals, even for the sake of efficacy.

Although these drugs are cheap in unit price, they have huge sales volume. In addition, a few special medicines for treating rare diseases are occasionally sold. The medical research institute and pharmaceutical factory can bring Si Mingyu a net income of more than 4 billion Chinese yuan every year.

News came from Hollywood that screenwriters David Benioff and D.B. Weiss had sent the adapted script to Si Mingyu's email. As long as he thought it was okay, director Peter Jackson could start filming.

This TV series was shot according to movie standards. Fifteen million US dollars per episode of fifty minutes is enough. Besides, there are only a few relatively famous actors besides Kristen Stewart, and many of the others do not want to be paid and bring their own lunch boxes.

Regardless of how bad the original author's writing was, at least the two screenwriters were of a decent enough standard. Coupled with the special effects afforded by such a massive investment, many viewers would go see the film simply for the visuals. For actors with acting skills but no reputation, this was a great opportunity to become famous.

After taking the time to read the script, Si Mingyu had to admit that it was indeed difficult for the two screenwriters to adapt the novel of the originally flopped author to such a level. He had no dissatisfaction, so the filming officially started.

There is no shortage of celebrity guest appearances in film and television dramas, so director Peter Jackson began to use the tiger's skin to pull the banner. He found many celebrities and asked them, wouldn't you be willing to guest-star in a role of just a few minutes in this big-budget TV series?

First of all, Disney encourages its own stars to make guest appearances. After all, they have already taken over the TV series' supporting services and post-production special effects business, so it is only right for them to show some friendliness.

Secondly, Little K also invited several Hollywood celebrity friends to make guest appearances, and she also wanted to express her opinion on receiving such a high salary.

In fact, this fantasy-themed TV series is not destined to be a bad movie. After all, many adapted film and television dramas are criticized because the audience will compare them with the original works, but as long as the original works are bad enough, the adaptation will be praised.

After negotiations with Shanghai authorities, the East Asia Mingyu Group secured a plot of land to build a new headquarters. As the company expanded, the existing East Asia Mingyu Building could no longer meet its needs.

The new headquarters was located on the edge of the city. Si Mingyu wanted to create a garden-style office environment, so a smaller area wouldn't work; there wouldn't be enough space in the city center, where land is so expensive. Fortunately, the location is conveniently located near a subway station and a highway, and they'll also build supporting residential buildings that can be rented out to employees at low prices.

Design submissions have been solicited worldwide, and construction will be handled by a subsidiary of China Construction Corporation. It's not that Tao Quanrui doesn't want to take on the project, but rather that he simply lacks the skills to secure it. The entire East Asia Mingyu Group headquarters, not including land acquisition, is expected to cost over 20 billion yuan, a sum he can't afford.
