I have a wizarding world

December 27th, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

A Gulfstream jet was parked on the airport runway. As the Gulfstream's cabin door opened, a blond American youth stepped out.

He looked to be in his early thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face like a Hollywood movie star. His slender figure, combined with a custom-tailored Italian suit, made him look radiant.

He exuded an indescribable aura. If anyone from high society were present, they would surely recognize it as the aristocratic air they often spoke of.

"Young Master, is it really necessary for you to come in person this time? After all, it's just a small, newly emerging company."

Joseph glanced sideways at the butler beside him upon hearing this.

"Small company?" Joseph revealed a meaningful smile. "Landon, you are here merely to manage my travels, not to teach me how to do things. You still need to learn that from your father."

The butler named Landon turned pale at Joseph's words.

"I misspoke, please forgive me," Landon quickly lowered his head.

Joseph turned his head, ignoring him, and strode towards the VIP通道. On both sides of the VIP通道 stood professional bodyguards in black suits, equipped with wireless headsets.

Landon's expression changed for a moment, then he quickly followed Joseph's pace.

In the car.

"Landon, have you made the arrangements with them?" Joseph asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Young Master, we've arranged to meet with their marketing department at 4 PM."

Hearing this, Joseph nodded.

Yuncheng Technology, Fang Cheng's office.

"When will the people from Apple arrive?" Fang Cheng asked, leaning back in his chair.

"If the plane isn't delayed, they should be here at 4 PM."

Fang Cheng nodded and glanced at his watch. It was already 3:50.

"Bring them to see me directly when they arrive."

"Yes, Mr. Fang," Zhou Min nodded and left.

Ten minutes later.

"Mr. Joseph, please come in," Zhou Min opened the door to Fang Cheng's office.

Fang Cheng stood up to greet the Apple representatives. Although he was displeased, he still needed to observe basic etiquette.

"You must be Mr. Fang Cheng," Joseph said with a smile, extending his hand towards Fang Cheng.

"Welcome, Joseph," Fang Cheng stepped forward and shook his right hand. This man speaks excellent Chinese, Fang Cheng thought to himself.

After the two men were seated, they exchanged pleasantries.

"Even on the other side of the world, I've heard of the Smart Elf's reputation. The title of the world's first artificial intelligence has appeared in science magazines many times," Joseph said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Fang Cheng put on a surprised expression. "I thought your country didn't welcome our company's products!"

Joseph laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Mr. Fang Cheng, you're too modest," he stopped smiling. "It's just a bunch of stubborn guys who are afraid your company's products will dominate our internet market."

"Is that so? That's truly a pity," Fang Cheng said with a similar smiling expression.

Joseph sighed inwardly at Fang Cheng's demeanor.

"Mr. Fang Cheng, you and I are both businessmen, why be so confrontational? Making money is what we should be doing, isn't it?"

Joseph looked at Fang Cheng earnestly.

Seeing that this guy was finally done with the pleasantries, Fang Cheng also put away his smile and said seriously, "I think so too."

"Then, can we talk about cooperation?" Joseph didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Cooperation?" Fang Cheng smiled. "I wonder how Mr. Joseph wants to cooperate?"

"Invest," Joseph said immediately, seeing Fang Cheng's unpleasant expression, "Mr. Fang Cheng, please let me finish."

Joseph paused. "Without our investment, the American government will never let you enter the American market. This would be a huge loss for all of us."

Fang Cheng fell silent upon hearing this.

Seeing Fang Cheng's expression, Joseph was overjoyed and continued, "Secondly, we only want to invest in your company's shares in the American market, not in Yuncheng Technology's shares."

Joseph understood the psychology of these company founders, who were afraid of losing control.

"We can set up a new company in the United States, jointly invested by Yuncheng Technology and us. I can sign an agreement with you, only enjoying ordinary equity and dividend rights, without participating in the company's management."

Joseph stared intently at Fang Cheng, who was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

The atmosphere in the office began to grow heavy.

After a long while.

"How many shares do you plan to take?" Fang Cheng asked.

Joseph held out one hand.

"That's impossible," Fang Cheng shook his head. "I can give you a maximum of 30%."

Fang Cheng glanced at Joseph, seeing his anxious expression, and continued, "Don't be impatient. 30% of the shares is already a lot. Not to mention the future prospects of the Smart Elf in the internet market, just the Smart Elf's own paid services are a huge profit."

"You're going to charge for the Smart Elf?" Joseph was startled.

"Why not?" Fang Cheng asked with a smile. "Users have no other choice, they can only choose to use it or not. But I believe users who are used to the Smart Elf won't say no."

Joseph's breathing became rapid. How many mobile users are there in the United States? As the world's third-largest smartphone user country, the United States currently has as many as 230 million smartphone users.

This seems far from China's 800 million users, but don't forget, Fang Cheng is charging them in US dollars.

A monthly fee of $10 a month, which is more profitable than the Chinese market.

What is the most profitable thing in this world? Monopoly! What kind of monopoly is the most profitable? Technology monopoly!

The Smart Elf is a technologically monopolistic product!

"This seems feasible, it seems feasible!" Joseph muttered to himself, his face flushed with excitement. "The United States has 230 million smartphone users, even if only 200 million users choose to use the Smart Elf, that's 2 billion US dollars in revenue a month."

Two billion US dollars in revenue a month, what is this concept? What is the annual net profit of Tencent, which has a market value of 500 billion US dollars? Only more than 10 billion US dollars. Of course, it's not to say that just an American version of the Smart Elf can compare to the market value of Tencent, but in terms of profitability alone, it may indeed completely surpass it.

In addition, what will the company's profits be when other applications are launched based on the Smart Elf in the future? What will the market value be after the listing? The more Joseph thought about it, the more excited he became. Unfortunately, there is only the American market. If it were the global market, Joseph shook his head and gave up his unrealistic fantasies.

"Okay, I agree," Joseph nodded solemnly.
