The only difference is that Huang Guanxiong's identity as a branch of Hongmen is almost public, and it is only a branch. This situation is reasonable for Hongmen, who has power all over the world, and is regarded as an inconspicuous existence.
What's more important is that the high-tech company he works for went through a normal open recruitment process.
Or it can be understood that this person's resume since elementary school has been ordinary and has no loopholes to check, and then it has been in middle school, university, and until the application exam he took after graduation.
Even the information about his martial arts training since childhood is public. He often participates in Chinese martial arts competitions of different levels and has won many awards.
Therefore, judging from his resume alone, no matter what aspect, it is a very normal way of training in an ordinary family, without any trace of artificial planning.
This time he can come to Wandao in a legitimate manner. The invitation letter that the company had received a few months ago was just that he temporarily replaced someone.
Because his qualifications are not enough, Huang Guanxiong, who is only 28 years old this year, is about the same age as Grace, but he does not have the large financial support of the Quark family regardless of profit or loss. Being able to get a small department manager is already a very fast climb. .
But what if a company that has been making shaky profits gets a large capital injection? This money also came from Grace's direct investment, so has his status in the company changed drastically?
The nature of high-tech companies is high investment and high returns, but scientific research is a bottomless pit. Likewise, without the support of more advanced technology, the company's prospects are quite limited.
So after some manipulation by Quark, Huang Guanxiong, the fake son-in-law, was naturally qualified to participate in the business meeting.
Business talks in the high-tech industry refer to two or more parties in a transaction negotiating the rights and obligations they may obtain through certain patent issues in the industry, and ultimately reaching a mutually beneficial outcome for both parties. An acceptable win-win solution.
Similar business meetings are different from other meetings in that they have many strategic monopoly issues.
Don’t underestimate this kind of business gathering with very small limitations, and don’t only think of giants like Microsoft and Apple when talking about high technology.
In fact, behind every high-tech technology is the integration of countless technical personnel and larger and trivial data. For example, for a certain technological breakthrough by Microsoft, some of the data comes from the scientific research results of other small and inconspicuous companies.
This kind of data may be trivial and popular, and Microsoft's huge scientific research institutions will be able to decipher it on their own sooner or later, but in a vaster scientific research project, there is no need for a super high-tech company like Microsoft to do so. We continue to invest in detailed data.
Therefore, the patent rights of this kind of small and micro data need to be negotiated in detail through such business meetings. Whether it is a one-time buyout, a years-long use right, or even more in-depth business cooperation, all transactions are done using such a platform. of.
Why is this meeting held in Bay Island?
This is because this island has a complete set of semiconductor and IC design, R&D and production lines that are superior to the international semiconductor industry level. Among them, the semiconductor production capacity even accounts for more than 70% of the world's total production capacity, making it a global leader.
Therefore, there are not only a large number of semiconductor talents here, but also semiconductor giants such as Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Unicom, and Winbond. The data they hold can affect the production and operation of the global industrial chain.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bay Island controls the lifeblood of the global semiconductor industry, and the highly interdependent supply chain has always been based on technology and price as the basis for cooperation. The most high-end high-tech giants gather here every six months. , is not a new thing in the industry.
But the choice of time is a bit strange. Although the island's semiconductor industry ranks first in the world, it also means that it involves industry monopoly. Of course, this view mainly comes from the West.
We must know that semiconductor products are only components, and the specific utilization must be reflected in the manufacturing of technological equipment. Of course, the Western manufacturing industry at the top of the food chain will be very reluctant.
Moreover, organizing such a large-scale business conference is handled by relevant international organizations. Setting the time to do this during the biggest festival of the year for the East, especially the Chinese, is obviously ill-intentioned.
We must know that returning to the family on New Year's Eve has been a traditional cultural custom of the Chinese for thousands of years, and the family is the cornerstone of Chinese society. The annual reunion dinner means that children and grandchildren respect and love each other, and the whole family talks about family relationships.
But knowing this, the semiconductor industry in Bay Island can only break its teeth and swallow it, because no matter how cutting-edge components are, they need to be sold in order to make money, and today's technology market is controlled by Westerners. .
For downstream companies like semiconductors, the situation of relying on others cannot be changed. They also have the right to speak in the industry. Although they are not easily controlled by others, it is a reality that they can be constrained.
So this business meeting was ruthlessly scheduled for the New Year's Eve of 2006.
However, the organizers did not just blindly crush it, but set the time to 10 o'clock on New Year's Eve, claiming that they did not want to delay the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Regarding this arrangement, the Bay Island side can only stare blankly.
why? This place does not have much sovereignty in the international arena. Where can you file a complaint? United Nations?
The status of the Bay Island in the United Nations is not that of a country. It is just a part of China on the other side of the ocean. The sovereignty is over there!
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Liu Qingshan. At the moment, he only cares about how he can legitimately receive the invitation and attend.
Luo Jiawei responded this way: "Although there were no big names like Jobs or Gates among the attendees, people from both companies came, especially from Microsoft. The people who came were Mr. Liu's old acquaintances, Nadella and Nadella from Tianzhu. Chinese Liu Jingwei!"
Liu Qingshan immediately understood that the Tianzhu man was not very familiar with him, but his identity was very important. He was the director of multiple business departments of Microsoft, and his business ability ranked only behind chief designer Gates.
But Liu Jingwei is familiar with him. He is the global executive vice president of Microsoft. He is the official person to participate in such business meetings. It is just his job.
Therefore, the main negotiation work will be left to him to negotiate in detail, and Nadella is a technical consultant.
"You mean that Mr. Liu Jingwei will send me an invitation? But I have nothing to do with this business meeting. Is this appropriate?" Liu Qingshan's question obviously hit the point.
Luo Jiawei smiled and said: "Tonight is just the opening song of the entire conference, which is equivalent to the opening ceremony. The conditions for the guests present are still very relaxed. In the past, there were some celebrities at the reception, but most of them were women!"
"Mr. Liu knows I'm here, so he wouldn't necessarily ask to meet on such an occasion, right?"
"The one who would bring it up was not him, but Nadella, or he was entrusted by another acquaintance of yours!"
"Haha, it must be Daddy Bumi. This old man is the national idol of Tianzhu people all over the world!"
"It's not like he's a national idol. Daddy Boonmee's influence in their country is beyond the government. The situation inside is very complicated and has nothing to do with us. It's enough for us to know that it was him who made the statement!"
Luo Jiawei seems to be familiar with Daddy Bumi's situation.
Liu Qingshan then asked: "Does dad also have companies under his name that participated in this meeting?"
"No, his business map is not in this area, but whether it is IBM, Microsoft or EMC, he has shares. Although not many, he is someone who can hold shares in the top nine high-tech companies in the world at the same time. , which no one in the industry dares to underestimate! This time, Daddy Bumi proposed that you attend the meeting on his behalf. You have no decision-making power, but if there is an opening ceremony, you are qualified to sit on the rostrum. people!"
Liu Qingshan suddenly realized: "Did Peng Sihai's phone number find my father?"
Luo Jiawei shook his head: "It's not him, but it's almost the same. These are not important. What's important is that you will be invited soon, maybe at the reception banquet held for you tonight!"
"Well, I was the protagonist of the previous banquet. There is no one with a certain status to invite me. It's really unjustifiable to leave early!"
"The noise should not be small. Microsoft is the top giant in the industry. The two core negotiators have gone over to support you. How can the other participants, especially the major manufacturers in the Bay Island, sit back and ignore it?"
"Oh, this scene is indeed a bit big and a bit uncomfortable, I'm already very conspicuous now!"
Luo Jiawei was stunned, and with his mind racing, he immediately understood Liu Qingshan's concerns.
So he said happily: "Are you worried that the limelight should not be too great? How do you say this in Chinese?"
"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a tree that is superior to others will be destroyed by the wind!"
"Yes, yes, that's it! But you are different from ordinary people. There is no need to worry about this. Besides, compared to the display of your other abilities, the limelight tonight is really nothing!"
Liu Qingshan smiled back: "I just said casually, what an entertainment star needs most is exposure. Besides, many of the things that happen to me are passive!"
He did not directly mention the number of assassinations he suffered, but Luo Jiawei revealed it at one point: "Mr. Liu's current fame alone has been legendary among the people. It is said that it exceeds any news event or figure, and the support he has received from the public is even more. It goes beyond people's usual cognition. For example, in those several assassinations, you were in a state of complete defense. There is video evidence! Compared with this kind of incident that is easily questioned by public opinion, your attendance tonight is nothing at all. What to do!"
Liu Qingshan was waiting for his words, because he needed to understand the meaning of Quark, and this person represented part of the will of his cheap father-in-law.
