Chapter 55: Right of Agency Of the Three Major Products
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Big Goose Group, one of the three major internet giants in Great Xia, had gathered all its directors for an emergency meeting.
“Thoughts on the three products from Blue Moon Technology?”
“This Blue Moon Technology company doesn’t seem like an ordinary startup. Their technological advancements are too advanced, and with global promotion, I suspect it’s a collaboration among the four major giants…”
“Yes, only they can gather the most exceptional scientists and mobilize the world for the Fourth Technological Revolution.”
With the emergence of the three major technological products, there was a consensus online, both among the public and within communities, that the world’s four major giants had joined forces to initiate the Fourth Technological Revolution.
The man in gla.s.ses, who was leading the meeting, nodded slightly and said, “Let’s put aside the maglev cars and smart robots; they’re not our main business…”
“What we should focus on now is the projection touch watch. If it’s as revolutionary as advertised, smartphones will become bricks, and everyone will switch to watches. That will reshape the entire landscape of social interactions, entertainment, shopping, and more.”
…..
“We need to contact Blue Moon Technology immediately and negotiate with them. Ideally, we should be able to integrate our QQplatform with their social network.”
“Yes, I’m worried that other companies will take advantage of the projection touch watch’s arrival and encroach upon our social domain.”
“It’s not a matter of ‘will they,’ but ‘they definitely will!’”
If given the chance to monopolize the largest platforms for social interactions and shopping, would they refuse?
The three giants dreamed of eliminating their compet.i.tors and seizing the entire market. They had introduced countless competing products, but none had succeeded.
Suddenly, a director stood up and said, “CEO Ma, Blue Moon Technology is crucial and will determine the future of our group. Shouldn’t we consult Mr. Lin?”
“I know, 1’11 call him right away…”
After speaking, the man in gla.s.ses left the meeting room and entered a private chamber.
He returned after a moment.
The directors crowded around him, asking, “CEO Ma, what did Mr. Lin say?!”
Frowning, the man in gla.s.ses shook his head and replied, “Mr. Lin said he has no idea either. The news came out of the blue, and nothing was revealed to him!”
“What?!”
Everyone exchanged bewildered looks. Mr. Lin was their local authority, dispatched from Xia Du to oversee their operations. The fact that even he was clueless was beyond imagination.
Many other companies were nervously convening board meetings, just like the Big Goose Group.
It could be said that every qualified global corporation was desperately trying to gather information about Blue Moon Technology.
Some were from different industries, while others, like the Big Goose Group, knew that once the three major products were officially released, their foundations would be profoundly shaken. They couldn’t afford not to pay attention.
This had become the most crucial matter for all corporate groups at present.
How could they grab a slice of the cake that was known as the Fourth Technological Revolution?
At the very least, they couldn’t fall behind or be eliminated!
While companies across the country anxiously tried to figure out the whereabouts of Blue Moon Technology, even though they didn’t have a clue, the boards of all corporations with a.s.sets exceeding billions received invitations from the Great Xia’s authorities.
“Regarding the symposium on Blue Moon Technology’s representation in the Daxia region, it will be held in Chang’an…”
Upon receiving this message, the directors of these corporations breathed a sigh of relief.
They feared being left out by Xiadu, but fortunately, there was something to discuss and partic.i.p.ate in!
At that moment, business magnates from all over the country hurriedly set out for Chang’an.
For ordinary people in this period of no internet, everything seemed normal.
But for the community and circles of the wealth, visiting Chang’an was a major event that no one must’ve not known about.
Companies that weren’t qualified enough to receive an invitation didn’t need to think twice. It was undoubtedly Xiadu’s way of inviting those individuals to discuss slicing the cake.
Without any formal invitations, the previously elusive local billionaires rushed to their destinations—Chang’an.
In the current situation where Earth’s electromagnetic signals were disrupted, airplanes had to be treated like fighter jets, resulting in a reduction in flights.
Most people rushing to their destinations chose the maglev trains, causing ticket prices to triple. Yet, getting a ticket was still a challenge.
The director from Big Goose Group naturally boarded a maglev train, having secured a first-cla.s.s seat with his status.
To his surprise, as soon as he took his seat, he noticed a group of familiar faces.
“Oh, CEO Ma, what a coincidence to see you here…”
“All, Chairman w.a.n.g, h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo…”
“General Manager Gao, where are you headed?!”
A bunch of powerful figures in their respective fields found themselves on the same train.
“Are you also going to Chang’an?!”
“For the Blue Moon Technology symposium?”
“Haha, congratulations, CEO Ma!”
“Congratulations indeed. However, Chairman w.a.n.g, your company specializes in commercial real estate. It seems unrelated to the three major products…”
“Well, we’re actually considering transitioning our business. Who knows, just as we were thinking about it, we received the invitation from Chang’an. I’m going there to have a look…”
All these cunning old foxes knew each other’s secrets. Naturally, they were here for their own interests. After some pleasantries, they sat down and closed their eyes, pondering how the symposium in Chang’an would unfold.
“Jingjing, major news. I received information from an old friend that the representation rights of Blue Moon Technology will be discussed in Chang’an. The top figures from various conglomerates are rushing here…”
“I contacted my old friend. Wait outside and see if you can do something…”
He Jingxuan was shocked and quickly nodded. “Dad, I’ll go right away…”
Local companies like theirs had also received the news and hurriedly made their way to the venue, booking out entire hotels.
Outside the venue, journalists were swarming, their camera flashes constantly flickering.
How could such a major event escape the attention of these professionals in the news industry?
Major media outlets had already set up their equipment.
“Ladies and gentlemen, an hour from now, a symposium on the representation of Blue Moon Technology will take place here…”
“According to reliable sources, almost all the top figures with a.s.sets exceeding billions in the country have already set off, and some have even entered the venue…”
“Cut! Quickly send this piece back for broadcasting, and let’s continue shooting…”
Dozens of intersections near the venue were completely gridlocked, causing great anxiety among the influential figures who were stuck on the road.
Seeing that their cars couldn’t move, these high-profile individuals, who were usually waited on hand and foot, didn’t care about anything else. They quickly changed into their running shoes, got out of their vehicles, and sprinted towards the venue.
The Chang’an authorities were also helpless. This conference was of great significance, and it was beyond their control. They could only deploy thousands of staff members to maintain order.
Outside the venue, apart from the swarm of journalists, many billionaires from conglomerates had also gathered.
The journalists wouldn’t miss this opportunity and approached them for interviews.
“Mr. Hao, since you’re already here at the venue, why don’t you go inside?”
“Well, I didn’t receive an invitation. I just came here to have a look outside…”
“Your conglomerate has a.s.sets worth 80 billion, and you didn’t receive an invitation?!”
“You need a.s.sets worth over 100 billion to be eligible to enter. I’m still 20 billion short. All, if only I had worked harder…”
The journalists were very excited. It could be imagined that once this news was broadcast, it would undoubtedly attract attention nationwide and cause a global earthquake.
There was chaos outside, but inside the venue, everything was orderly.
As the meeting time approached, the major figures from all sides gradually took their seats.
Some still had sweat on their foreheads, panting heavily. They were the high-profile individuals who had run to the venue after being stuck on the road.
When it was time for the meeting, Chu Dayi walked out of the main hall, and the entire venue quieted down.
“Colonel Chu?!”
“Colonel Chu is the one who came?!”
This was very surprising for these big figures of the major companies. Although he had only recently appeared on television, Colonel Chu was a very famous figure as he was the representative for the Great Xia District of the Earth Federation.
Colonel Chu walked up to the stage, looked at the hundreds of people below, and went straight to the point. “You’re all here for the representation rights of Blue Moon Technology’s three products in the Great Xia region…”
“I won’t keep you in suspense. To obtain the representation rights, you only need to do one thing!”
“What is it?!”
…..
Everyone stared with wide eyes, their ears perked up, completely focused on Colonel Chu.
Colonel Chu paused for a moment, and the entire venue remained silent. No one urged him or made any movements. They were all waiting for his next words.
Then, Colonel Chu displayed a photo on the big screen and said slowly, “Whoever can become this person’s friend will be granted the right of agency for the Great Xia region….”
