Technology Bigshot

Chapter 26: Back to the heat

"Let's enter the reporter's question-and-answer session." The news person in charge announced.

Gao Yue on the stage did not leave. After the person in charge of the press conference finished speaking, the reporters off the field raised their hands one by one. Gao Yue pointed at the female reporter sitting in the middle flank with a professional smile.

The reporter immediately stood up, held the microphone, and said, "Hello! Miss Gao. I'm Liu Xiao, a special correspondent for Netease News. May I ask Miss Gao, when will your company's new products be released? What is the nature of it? product?"

"The company's main task at present is the research and development of real-time online translation 2.0 and the construction of the headquarters. At present, the research and development of new products is not considered!" Gao Yue replied.

"Hello, Miss Gao. I'm Yang Hong, a special correspondent for "Tencent News". Your company has accumulated hundreds of millions of users. Have you considered entering the social networking field?"

"The company has already reached a strategic partnership with the social giant Facebook. The company will not consider entering the social field. XlouS is a technology company, and we only engage in technology research and development!" Gao Yue pointed to a foreign reporter.

"Hello, Miss Gao Yue. I'm Spears Consner, a special correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. Does your company intend to introduce investment and listing plans in the near future?"

"XlouS is currently in healthy operation and has no shortage of funds, so it has not considered introducing capital and has no intention to go public for the time being."

......

After the press conference, XlouS, which had faded out of view recently, became a hot topic again.

Two major news quickly occupied the headlines of major domestic Internet media, and a series of data in units of 100 million was staggering.

"Damn it! XlouS is going to go against the sky? 5 billion US dollars to build a headquarters! Is this going to be a rhythm with Apple? So much money?"

"The news upstairs is outrageous. People do have money, and the poor people only have money left. I'll do the math with you, take a good look! Study hard! 240 million paying users, about 15 soft sister coins per month, One month is 3.6 billion revenue, more than 40 billion a year, and do you think the paid users of instant online translation will stay at 240 million after one year?"

"The answer is right upstairs! Mad is like a money printing machine, no, the money printing machine is nothing, it's just stealing money, no, it's faster than stealing money! But the real-time online translation is indeed an artifact, and the baby said to use it After that, I can’t do without it anymore, as an illiterate party who can’t speak English, my mother no longer worries that I can’t understand what foreigners say when I go to Instagram!”

Compared with it, investors are more eager than anyone. After XlouS released various data of instant online mutual translation, the valuation of this company by market analysts on Wall Street rose again by 20 billion, with a valuation of 150 billion US dollars. XlouS The company is listed in the ranks of A+++ key investment projects and listed as excellent investment projects. In the past, many companies were listed in the A+++ ranks by Wall Street, and those companies basically became giant companies with a market value of not less than 150 billion US dollars, such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Tencent and other Internet technology companies or energy giants and so on.

Although Gao Yue said at the press conference that he had no plans to go public or to introduce investment, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of investors. On the contrary, the enthusiasm of investors increased sharply. The more the CEO of the company said this, the more he expressed it. the potential of this business. There are not many companies in the world that do not bow their heads in the face of capital. This is the confidence of investors. Shunfeng Express, which claims to never be listed in China, eventually had to bow to capital. In the end, it became a listed company. I believe XlouS will eventually do the same.

In addition, after the press conference, the other two waves of people were not calm. These two waves of people were the builders from all over the world and the investment promotion bureaus in the Pearl River Delta and Hainan.

Large companies of hundreds of billions of dollars have settled in, especially the XlouS company announced that it will spend no less than 5 billion US dollars to build the headquarters, which is unimaginable for the development of the region and the tax created. Key concerns of the two provincial governments.

The Wanning Municipal Government, in particular, was surprised and delighted when it learned the news. The surprise was that the city did not have much competitiveness. It must be known that the total market value of the market was only over 80 billion RMB two years ago. The only thing is that this big company only named Wanning City and expressed its intention to choose it here. Obviously, there is no definite result, and even the city government is restless. You must know that this is a large private company with a valuation of hundreds of billions of dollars.

At this moment, Ren Hong didn't know that the news officially announced by XlouS had touched the hearts of batch after batch. After the team he wanted was successfully assembled, he began to develop the 2.0 version of instant online translation. In addition to being the chairman of XlouS, Ren Hong also serves as the company's chief technology officer and CTO. Ren Hong is obsessed with technology, and the position of chief chief engineer is naturally his.

On the day of the press conference, Ren Hong did not show up, and Gao Yue was in charge of the daily operations of the company, which was completely sufficient. And he is currently mainly responsible for the development of the instant online mutual translation version 2.0, and there is a more important thing, that is, the design of the company headquarters, which has always affected his heart.

His main focus these days is on the design of the company's headquarters. According to the vision in his mind, the company headquarters will be composed of five independent buildings, and the outlines of the five buildings are composed of five letters of the company name: XlouS

This is undoubtedly a crazy idea.

"This is too difficult, sir. The construction difficulty of 'X' and 'S' is not on the same level as the other three buildings, especially the 'S'-shaped building." A famous foreign architect invited by Ren Hong Looking at the 3D model on the computer, he shook his head and said, "Isn't it better to let XlouS lie on the ground? The difficulty will not be so staggering."

"No no no! Mr. Cullen." Ren Hong fiddled with his body language with his hands, "Listen, I want a XlouS standing on this planet! Not a lying XlouS! This is not Geely, isn't it?"

"Sorry, Mr. Cyrus, that's not what I meant." Cullen said, looking at the 3D modeling on the computer, he still said: "It is still too difficult for the two outer buildings to show the effect in the concept map in reality. , this is not in line with the principles of mechanics at all, especially the 'S' shape building, the building materials in today's world, the core force point in the middle cannot withstand the pressure of the entire building!"

Looking at Ren Hong's eyes, Cullen said without shyness: "It's too slender, and the curvature of the curve is too large, this is simply impossible to achieve, your requirements are too harsh, Mr. Sherus!"

The eyes of the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere of silence was instantly ushered in. Ren Hong looked away and turned to the computer screen, looking at the 'S'-shaped building in the renderings and was silent.

XlouS must be erected, he thought.
