Academician Zhao was very candid and did not give in to anything.

Within the scope allowed by the above, he told Zheng Li everything he could reveal.

He even told Zheng Li some of his own guesses.

"Apple can get magic coins, and I believe your company can also get magic coins."

“When you get a magic coin, you need to think carefully before using it.”

"This may be a trap by aliens. Everyone who has used the magic brain will be controlled."

"Merlin seems to be acting within the rules now, but that's just an appearance."

"No one can guarantee what the future will be like, but the future will change after the injection. You have to do it yourself if you want to get rid of the demon brain."

"Although young people are not immune to superpowers, neither are older people."

"As long as we are human, we will be curious about unknown things, and we are even more curious and eager for superpowers."

"But I still have to remind you to think carefully before using magic coin."

"Aliens in science fiction works usually wear a veil of tenderness at the beginning."

"We speculate that Merlin is most likely an alien individual who wandered to the blue star. He is currently unable to contact or does not want to contact the planet where his body is located."

"So he is willing to cooperate with us, but the balance between us and Merlin is broken, and no one knows what will happen."

After Academician Zhao finished speaking, Zheng Li silently added in his heart, I know.

If the trinity of soul, body and memory transmission can be realized, then there is no doubt that after contacting the Mage Alliance, the Mage Alliance will take over Blue Star.

However, under the shackles of technology, the most the mage civilization can do is trade with Blue Star through technology, which is only a technical level transaction.

Invading Blue Star across countless distances? Not to mention that the wizard civilization can't do it now, even if it can be done, it is not worth the gain.

Zheng Li: "I will seriously consider it, but why did you still use the magic brain?"

"The security of the Demonic Brain completely relies on Merlin's personal integrity?"

Academician Zhao smiled and said: "At this age, I have already forgotten about life and death. I just hope to do more things at the end of my life."

"You are different. You are only in your twenties, and the length of your life is completely different from that of us old men."

What Dean Zhao didn't say was that all their R&D bases were located in the mountains far away from the city.

The purpose is that if an accident occurs, such as losing control of the body, and Hua Guo wants to eliminate it at a targeted location, it will not cause too much impact.

But if Zheng Li uses it, he is usually in the city center of Gusu, and such a place will definitely not be able to blast on a large scale.

"Come to think of it, I am your senior. I graduated from Jiangcheng University, fifty years ago. Then I went to Yan University to study for a doctorate."

"When I was your age, the conditions at that time were far less good than they are now. I didn't do any experiments after I graduated with a Ph.D."

"It was only after I went abroad to study for a doctorate that I received an education in the modern scientific system."

"I also played a part in the preparation for the construction of the medical polymer laboratory where you stayed in college."

...

“Kechuang Biotech, a giant in the field of brain-computer connection, was fined hugely by the European Union for alleged monopoly.

The latest news from the Europa Union antitrust regulator is that Kechuang Biotech has imposed a fine of 760 million euros (5.283 billion RMB) on it for hindering competitors from fair competition in the field of brain-computer connection.

Kechuang Biotech has the most advanced brain-computer connection technology in the world. There have been reports that the Europa Union will impose antitrust fines on Kechuang Biotech. However, this news was previously denied by relevant Europa League officials.

Six months ago, the Europa Union antitrust agency began an antitrust investigation into Kechuang Biotech.

This fine is the first time a Chinese company has been fined in the name of antitrust. Chinese companies have never been fined for this reason before.

The Europa Union Commission stated that Kechuang Biotech abused its technological leadership and prohibited more advanced technologies from being opened to companies other than Kechuang Future. This behavior seriously affects fairness at the market level.

At present, reporters have asked the Secretary of the Board of Directors of Kechuang Biotechnology about this matter, and will report further information as soon as possible.

The European Union Commission believes that the exclusivity of Kechuang Biotech is an abuse of its dominant position. "

After the news came out, China's social media quickly aroused heated discussions.

"It's over. The market will open sharply lower tomorrow morning, and the market value of three trillion will probably evaporate by one to two hundred billion."

"This fine is just a drop in the bucket of Kechuang Biotech's net profit of 150 billion yuan. No matter how the institution smashes the market, I will take it if the institution smashes it.

I am waiting for the opportunity to buy at the bottom of Kechuang Biotech, a core asset. "

“That’s not how it is calculated. The Europa Union’s antitrust fine against Kechuang Biotechnology is just a name.

Lithium battery technology is not open to foreign car companies. Is this considered a dragon egg? The Europa League will use this as a reason to fine you again.

And not only the Europa League, will other countries impose fines on this basis? These are potential risks.

A net profit of 150 billion is a lot, but considering that the Europa League fine this time is 5 billion, the potential subsequent fines may be close to 50 billion.

Kechuang Biotech is still a good company, but should its valuation change? "

"The Europa Union is a real dog. It regards fines as a business. From Apple and Google to Kechuang Biotech, no company can escape fines. In the final analysis, it is not because it is not a Europa Union company."

"Can it drop to 700 yuan? As long as it drops to 700 yuan, I'll be waiting to buy the bottom."

Kechuang Biotech previously conducted a 10-for-1 split.

"It is obvious that fines are imposed on the grounds of antitrust. Don't regard the fines imposed by the Europa Union in the name of antitrust as fines. They are all taxes.

But this is still unreasonable. Internet giants operate in the Europa Union, provide a small number of jobs and reap huge profits, while paying taxes that are kept low in various ways.

The Europa Union is very dissatisfied with this status quo, so it has imposed a fine on antitrust grounds. This fine is equivalent to protection fees for the giants.

Kechuang Biotechnology is making products, and it has already paid taxes for brain-computer-connected VR to enter the Europa Union. This fine is different in nature from the fines for the Internet.

This is because you have made so much money with me, but you haven't left me any jobs or investment at all.

In the final analysis, it is still gangster logic.

Another very important point is that there are Chinese private capital, state-owned capital, Americen Capital, and even Lion City Capital behind Kechuang Biotechnology, but there is no Europa League capital behind it.

Although the largest fund in the European Union has been buying Kechuang Biotech since its listing, it is nothing compared to the 5% stake in Kechuang Biotech’s B-round investment.

You have not provided jobs for the Europa Union, and there is no Europa capital behind it. It would be strange not to engage you.

It is not easy for Science and Technology Biotechnology to delay for so long. "

This news can be regarded as both financial and social consulting, but compared to platforms such as Weibo and official accounts, Stock Bar is much more objective.

After all, investment is linked to your real money, and the market will give you the answer whether it makes sense or not.

At the same time, Kechuang Biotechnology, as the well-deserved leader of the Science and Technology Innovation Board, was originally too high for retail investors to participate.

Later, after the share capital was split, the price of one lot was reduced to less than 100,000, and the difficulty of participation was greatly reduced.

Most retail investors who open transactions on the Science and Technology Innovation Board will buy more or less.

Therefore, after the news came out, discussions on platforms such as Stock Bar and Xueqiu were extremely heated.

Among them, Duan Yongping has been involved in Snowball for many years. He is the boss behind Oppo and Vivo. He is also an investor in the primary and secondary markets. It is said that he holds 4% of Apple's shares.

After the news came out, Duan Yongping only commented on Snowball:

"The more it falls, the more it buys. The valuation of three trillion yuan is far from the top of Kechuang Biotech. From a future perspective, it is now the absolute bottom."

As soon as the big boss said this, the optimism in the hearts of retail investors took over their brains again, and the pessimism disappeared without a trace.

"Three trillion yuan? Three trillion yuan is almost the same!"

"The VR ecology of Kechuang Biotech has been initially successfully built. This is the prototype of the future metaverse. It is not a problem for the stock price to be comparable to Apple."

"The market value of Kechuang Biotechnology is similar to that of FB, but its potential is far higher than that of FB. The fine from the Europa League is only a small negative, and it does not count as a small negative."

There was a cheerful atmosphere below Duan Yongping's comments.

After the meeting on this matter at Kechuang Biotech, Li Miaomiao went to Zheng Li to report on his work:

"The fine imposed by the Europa Union is entirely an attempt to impose a crime. We plan to appeal to the Union Court. At the same time, the legal department needs to introduce a group of lawyers with rich experience in international law."

"Although these lawyers have impressive resumes, very few of them have actual experience in international law. We plan to recruit people from Huawei's legal department."

"In addition, we need to open lithium battery technology to the outside world, but only open lithium battery technology for other consumer electronics products."

“Second-generation graphene coating manufacturing equipment can be brought to the market.”

The first-generation graphene coating equipment previously introduced to the market by Kechuang Biotechnology can only act on lithium metal positive electrodes of specific shapes.

Therefore, the battery cannot be used in consumer electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.

The second-generation graphene coating equipment has more functions and can customize the coating shape.

“Firstly, now is the time for product iteration, and secondly, in order to avoid possible subsequent antitrust fines.”

"We keep automotive-grade batteries closed to the outside world and open up consumer-grade batteries to technology."

The idea of ​​Kechuang Biotech executives is to avoid accusations of monopoly.

Previously, Kechuang Biotechnology's lithium battery technology was only open to domestic car companies in China, and has been criticized by many foreign media.

Attacks at the level of public opinion are not powerful, but antitrust fines are still very powerful.

Moreover, in their view, brain-computer connection technology and endorphins are open to the outside world, and it is entirely possible for lithium battery technology to be licensed to external parties at the consumer electronics level.

Consumer electronics batteries are a market no less important than new energy vehicles.

Relying on consumer electronics, Kechuang Biotechnology's new energy sector revenue and profits can double this year.

After listening to this, Zheng Li said: "Actually, whether we have a monopoly or not is up to the other party."

"Even if the Europa League is open to the outside world, it will still find reasons to fine us."

Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "Yes, what we do is what we can do."

Cheng Gang retired internally on the grounds of age. Zheng Li returned to China when he resigned, and a resignation ceremony was held for him in China.

After Cheng Gang resigned, Li Miaomiao became the general manager of Kechuang Biotech, with the suffix "temporary" after it.

If she is competent, she will be the one to do it, but if she is not, she will have to hire someone else.

"But the current situation determines that many things cannot be transferred due to personal will."

"Our products must be sold all over the world, and our technology cannot be limited to the Chinese market."

"The fines imposed on us by the Europa League are within the acceptable range. So far, our revenue within the Europa League has exceeded RMB 100 billion."

"A fine of five billion is very expensive, but compared to what we got, it seems to be worth it for the time being."

The longer Li Miaomiao works as a senior executive of a comprehensive manufacturing and R&D enterprise, the more rational she becomes.

When she was just in college, she must have been thinking that it would be better if she did not engage in this market.

But when she really has to be responsible for the company and consider tens of thousands of employees, she can't rely on her emotions.

"We cannot live independently of the global market."

"It is impossible to achieve a complete ecosystem by relying solely on China's market."

"Unless we are like the goose factory, we only become the boss in the country."

"The VR ecosystem has become increasingly complete, and we are likely to become an indispensable part of the next information age."

"So there needs to be an appropriate compromise."

Li Miaomiao comforted him after hearing the dissatisfaction in Zheng Li's tone.

Zheng Li: "These are within your authority, you can decide for yourself."

"In addition, I went to the Huaguo Academy of Sciences to study some time ago. I got a lot of inspiration. You need to pay more attention to the company's affairs."

The cloned body of Zheng Li in Suzhou is now completely taken over by the low-level artificial intelligence in the Pacific Ocean.

He is more rational than people think they are.

Regarding this matter, the artificial intelligence analysis concluded that if you give up your fantasy, the appeal will definitely be rejected.

It is better to pay the fine directly and increase the Europa Union's patent royalties after the endorphin manufacturing patent authorization expires.

Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Europa League companies to recover their losses?

Why bother with fruitless struggles.

Brain-computer connection VR is sold at a higher price. A higher price for monopolistic products is not excessive.

The argument is that raw materials are rising and prices need to be increased appropriately.

Endorphins and morphine-like substances are used as substitutes, and there is no substitute for brain-computer connected VR.

Consumer electronics batteries sold to European companies can also be sold at a higher price.

How can we recover the losses and how can we operate without affecting the enterprise itself?

Artificial intelligence analysis should not fight on the opponent's battlefield, but should be dragged into areas that are familiar to oneself.

After opening sharply lower on the second day, Kechuang Biotech's decline narrowed to less than 2 points at the close.
