We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#572 - Changing the direction of the tech tree

In the reception room, on the east and west walls, hung two giant maps, both custom-made by Su Cheng.

One map was a world map; the other, a map of Hong Kong.

He didn't incorporate too much detail into the maps, because it wasn't necessary.

Su Cheng had these two maps made for a simple reason: every time he saw them, he felt a surge of ambition.

The world was vast, and everything seemed to be within his grasp.

Currently, Su Cheng hadn't reached that point yet; at least, his business empire hadn't spread throughout the world.

But Su Cheng believed that one day, this dream would be realized.

At a luxurious tea table, Su Cheng sat facing Yang Chaoye.

At this moment, the tea set contained rare Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Da Hong Pao tea, emitting a unique orchid-like fragrance.

Su Cheng took a light sip, the lingering sweetness leaving an endless aftertaste.

Su Cheng had spent a considerable amount of money to buy this tea, but after drinking it, he felt the money was well spent.

In the past, Su Cheng didn't know how to appreciate tea; drinking tea was no different from drinking hot water.

However, since he had drunk various precious teas and listened to tea connoisseurs talk about them, he gradually began to appreciate the quality of tea.

"Boss, this tea is really good. How about giving me a few pounds to put in my office to entertain guests?" Yang Chaoye said with a smile.

"A few pounds? I heard that the annual yield of this Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Da Hong Pao is only about eight taels. I spent several million to buy only two pounds from some channels. This is already more than two years' worth of production from the mother trees. It's not easy. How about this, I'll give you one pound to take with you later. You have to use it sparingly. This stuff is dozens of times more expensive than gold!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Su Cheng wasn't stingy and directly let Yang Chaoye take half of it.

"Then thank you, Boss!" Yang Chaoye wasn't polite, because he knew that Su Cheng had no shortage of things like tea.

Because he could see Su Cheng's tea cabinet behind him, filled with various famous teas.

In this conference room, besides the two pounds of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, there were also Sichuan Golden Bud Tea, Pu-erh Tea, Tianchi Flower Tea, Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuyi Mountain Narcissus Tea, Baihao Yinzhen, West Lake Longjing, Xinyang Maojian, Biluochun, Tianzhu Darjeeling Silver Tips, and so on.

In this world, money can make the devil turn the millstone. It wasn't difficult for Su Cheng to collect these teas.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Cheng looked around and was quite satisfied with the furnishings.

At the same time, he also recalled the amazement he felt when he first visited Baochuan Wang's reception room.

Now, his own reception room was no less impressive than Baochuan Wang's, but Baochuan Wang's reception room had something that Su Cheng currently lacked.

That was Baochuan Wang's photos with dignitaries and big shots from various countries.

At the time, Su Cheng was very envious when he first saw them and decided that he would also put these photos in his own reception room in the future.

However, it was clear that Su Cheng didn't have the conditions for that at the moment.

The main reason was that Su Cheng had risen too quickly. He had met too few dignitaries from various countries. Although, with his current commercial achievements, no matter which country he went to, the local dignitaries would take the initiative to meet him, Su Cheng had been to too few places.

When he went to England, Su Cheng was just a Hong Kong businessman with little recognition.

When he went to the United States, although Su Cheng's reputation was beginning to emerge, he still couldn't catch the eye of the US president.

Until later, with Su Cheng's entry into Intel, the Oracle computer became popular all over the world, the release of mobile phones, and so on, Su Cheng's current status was very different from half a year ago.

Unlike Baochuan Wang, who had been developing for decades and had cooperation with various countries, he often went to various countries to meet those dignitaries, which was naturally very easy.

"By the way, Boss, the sales of Oracle computers are starting to slow down. I think it's time to put the release of the second-generation Oracle computer on the agenda," Yang Chaoye said.

However, because the first-generation Oracle computer was still being sold all over the world and the sales were very good, and the release time of the first-generation Oracle computer was still short, the second generation of Oracle computers had not been announced.

The reason why the sales of Oracle computers began to decline significantly was not only because they had been selling for nearly half a year, but more importantly, other computer companies had also successively released their own new products. These new products were equipped with the technology provided by Oracle Computer, so it was normal for Oracle Computer sales to decline.

Despite this, neither Su Cheng nor Yang Chaoye felt aggrieved because the technology was forced to be disclosed.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Because, in January, the three-month technology restriction period expired, and Oracle Computer earned more than 500 million US dollars just from the sale of technology patents.

These patent revenues were provided by various top technology groups that signed agreements with Oracle Computer Company at the beginning.

"Don't rush to release it yet. Our product has only been released for half a year. Let's release it in a few more months. I can't keep providing you with technical information. If you always rely too much on the technical information I purchase, then there's no need for us to spend so much money and energy to recruit so many R\u0026D engineers.

Since the second generation has already been developed, you can organize a scientific research team to start the third generation of computer research and development. Inventors must have their own invention thinking, instead of being dominated by the technical information I provide. This will easily lead to these top technical experts losing their innovation ability, which is not what I want to see," Su Cheng said seriously.

When he heard Yang Chaoye mention this matter, Su Cheng had already realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although his technology data was decades ahead of this world, since a scientific research team had already been established, it was not okay to rely too much on himself. This would only make these world's top technology geniuses lose their true imagination and creativity.

Therefore, Su Cheng felt that he should change the development policy.

He could try to let these technical experts organize R\u0026D teams to develop technical products created by themselves. Su Cheng, on the other hand, could remind them when they encountered bottlenecks, without having to provide too much detailed technical information.

Perhaps, the technology tree of this world would change as a result!

Perhaps, it would develop in a direction that Su Cheng didn't even recognize.

The technology tree being changed might be something that Su Cheng would be happy to see.

If technology products completely developed along the direction that he knew well, then this world would be too boring!

Su Cheng bringing Oracle Computer technology to this world in advance had already directly changed the history of technology development in this world.

Because the early appearance of technology had completely changed the cognition of these technology experts, it was very possible that some technologies that Su Cheng didn't understand would be born in this world in the future!
