"Ah, who would have thought that our Huaxia's five-thousand-year civilization would be so suppressed by this tiny chip that we couldn't rise again? It's truly lamentable," Zhang Menglong perused the list of companies.
Apart from those developed European and American countries and Kaibong, even a tiny place like Qingqiu Country has a world-class semiconductor enterprise.
"Mr. Zhang, this was a product of the era. Actually, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, our country's chip technology was only five to six years behind America, and far ahead of Qingqiu Country. However, its development was completely reliant on the market, without any policy support. Plus, with foreign chips rapidly capturing the market, that led to the current situation."
"But Qingqiu Country recognized this point in their time of backwardness and took direct national action to fund independent research, which is why they could eventually surpass us."
"It seems that, aside from claiming other countries' things as their own, they're not completely useless!" Zhang Menglong exclaimed.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you plan to do? The nature of those companies almost always involves the state, and it would be very difficult for you personally to acquire their shares. Moreover, most of their core personnel have signed non-compete agreements. If you're thinking about poaching everyone to turn them into shell companies, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy!"
Zhang Menglong's previous methods for taking down companies were rather straightforward—either buy them outright and do with them as he pleased, or poach all their key people. However, these tactics were clearly not going to work this time.
"Who said I was going to do that," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "Those companies should be surrounded by a not-so-small industrial chain, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang," Hong Yi said, "Just like Silicon Moonlight, these large tech enterprises are surrounded by numerous raw material suppliers, machinery and equipment dealers, and so on. But these enterprises are not as technologically advanced; they're mostly labor-intensive industries or have some degree of automated production."
A faint smile played at the corners of Zhang Menglong's lips. Hong Yi felt a chill looking at Zhang Menglong's expression but was certain that he must have some cunning plan in mind!
"Qualcomm Electronics!" Zhang Menglong glanced at the materials and finally set his eyes on this particular company.
"Mr. Zhang, are you interested in this company?" Hong Yi asked. "Founded in 1985, they've been involved in 3G, 4G, 5G technologies around the world, and their collaboration with Kaibong is very close. After many years of partnership, America holds a 51% stake, and Kaibong holds a 49% stake, making it one of the world's leading communication technology companies!"
"That's the one!" Zhang Menglong declared. "Change the plans, we're not going back to Jiangnan City tomorrow; we're heading to America first!"
...
"Hong Yi, who is currently managing our family's assets in America?" On the plane, Zhang Menglong sipped his fine wine and nibbled on snacks as he suddenly became quite curious about this matter.
"You might have heard of them; the Duber family is in charge," Hong Yi replied.
"Mr. Kriya, who are these people? How can they come in through the special passage?" An airport staff member who was new to the job had never seen such a scenario before.
Under normal circumstances, only the visits of important foreign personnel to America would allow for the entry of designated vehicles to meet and greet. There had been no recent news of a visit from any significant personage to America, had there?
"Didn't you see that emblem?" The old staff member known as Mr. Kriya replied, "That emblem is the Clan Emblem of the Duber Family, and that's their convoy!"
"The Duber Family?" The new staff member was shocked. This family was as mysterious and powerful as the Rothschild family in Europe, yet a household name.
"See the man in the suit at the head of the convoy? That's James Duber, the next head of the Duber family. When he comes to the airport, even the president comes out to greet him. If such a personage has come in person, he must be here to welcome some important figure."
"Who is so important that even Mr. James has been roused?" For these employees, a figure like James was as unapproachable as the president himself; they hardly had any dealings with him.
The appearance of the Duber family at the airport to welcome an unknown figure was completely unforeseen, and for America's media, that was absolutely big news. Upon receiving the information, hordes of media flocked there.
They were unable to enter the airport and could only observe everything from a distance in the waiting hall.
"Here it comes! It must be that private jet!"
"That private jet looks like Boeing's BBJ; the base price of the jet alone is over 80 million US dollars."
"Huh? The writing on it... a Huaxia plane?"
"Someone's coming out! Quick, change the lens!"
"That face... it looks like... Zhang Menglong, the world's richest man?"
"What? Zhang Menglong has come to America?"
"It's over! America is going to be in turmoil!"
