Chapter 383
The negotiation process was extremely difficult and slow.

Zhou Na only made an appearance in the first round of negotiations in the morning, and then never appeared on the negotiation table again.

Xu Fuhai saw that her face was a little pale, and at the end of the negotiation, he wanted to ask about her condition, but seeing her ungrateful expression, he thought it over.

At noon, Xu Fuhai had lunch with Ambassador Cai Yingmin according to Director Lu's arrangement.

He can also understand Director Lu's arrangement. After all, this is an extraordinary period, and his identity is too special. Although he has brought enough security forces, Director Lu and the others are justified in worrying.After all, this is on someone else's territory. In case of any emergency, it is always good to have more protection.

And he also knew in his heart that the higher-ups attached great importance to this business negotiation.After all, due to well-known reasons, the United States has always had extremely strict restrictions on the sales of Huaxia's high-tech products in the United States. If the negotiation between Neptune Group and Zhina Capital can achieve the expected intention, its significance is definitely not Neptune The group obtained a US market access as simple as that!
In a Chinese restaurant not far from the embassy, ​​Xu Fuhai, who had just concluded negotiations, met Ambassador Cai.

He was in his early fifties, and his figure was a little thin. He wore a pair of rimless glasses with Chinese characters on his face, revealing a refined temperament.

Seeing Xu Fuhai, he took the initiative to extend his hand.

"I've heard Director Lu talk about you a long time ago. You founded such an influential company at a young age. The flying car project has gone all over the world. It's not easy, it's not easy!"

While shaking hands with him, Xu Fuhai smiled modestly and said, "You are too proud!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them went to the private room to sit down.

The private room is not luxurious, but it reveals a strong Chinese style.At this moment, several small cold dishes had been placed on the table, and when the three of them were seated, the waiters outside also began to serve steaming meals to them.

"Mr. Xu, come and try his braised pork. This is a must. Not to mention here, even in China, it is not easy to eat such authentic braised pork!" Ambassador Cai said cheerfully.

"Okay, this dish looks so appetizing!" Xu Fuhai said with a smile, and put a chopstick of meat into his mouth, only to feel that it melted in the mouth, and the salty fragrance was delicious, and it was really authentic!
"How is it? It's delicious! Xu Dong, let me tell you, don't look at the small place here, the chef is not simple, he has done a state banquet!" Director Lu also said with a smile.

Xu Fuhai nodded again and again, looking at the several hot dishes on the table, all of which he liked, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the hard work in preparing them.

Since he still had negotiations in the afternoon, Director Lu and Ambassador Cai both had jobs, so the three of them didn't drink alcohol, but used tea instead of wine, chatting while drinking.

"Mr. Xu, how was the negotiation in the morning? Did it go well?" Director Lu asked casually after three rounds of cooking.

"It's not going very well. The other party is clinging to the original conditions, so it's a bit difficult." Xu Fuhai said with a frown.

"Mr. Xu, is it because of your ex-wife... If there is anything we need from our hometown, just ask!" Director Lu asked tentatively.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with her. In fact, I suspect that she was used by someone with a heart to get involved. But you all know our previous situation, and she doesn't want to talk to me anymore. This is true." Xu Fuhai Taking a sip of tea, he said helplessly.

"We also know something about this situation. The main soul of Zhina Capital in this round of negotiations is the executive vice president Steve Ballmer. This person is a difficult business opponent. When he was at Microsoft before, he He has led many patent lawsuits against some high-tech companies in China, and his methods are very sophisticated, so you should be careful when negotiating with him, and don't let him get involved." Ambassador Cai reminded with concern.

Xu Fuhai nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern. Regarding this negotiation, I have a general direction in mind. Overall, we are still on the favorable side. After all, they need brain-computer interface technology now, and For the Neptune Group, the urgency to get market access from the United States is not that high. So they should be the ones who are anxious now."

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, both of them nodded.

Director Lu and Xu Fuhai clinked glasses, took a sip of tea and said, "The brain-computer interface technology is also a very cutting-edge technology. We have asked professionals to evaluate it. This is a technology that can change the world pattern! Fu Hai, I am a few years older than you, so I don’t mind if I call you that. Although the intellectual property rights of this technology belong to the Neptune Group, the higher-ups still don’t want such an important technology with strategic value to flow abroad like this. In this field, we are still far behind.”

Hearing Director Lu's words, Xu Fuhai certainly understood what he meant.

"Director Lu, don't worry. I developed this technology by myself, and I understand it better than anyone else. Frankly speaking, this technology is indeed very advanced, and it can indeed change the way of life in the existing world to some extent. , The influence in various fields is extensive and far-reaching. But since I have the confidence to hand it over, I am confident that it will not let it get out of control."

When Xu Fuhai said these words, he revealed a strong confidence.

Of course, his words were not meant to comfort the two in front of him, but because he really had the confidence in his heart!

Brain-computer interface technology is indeed very advanced, even compared to the current technology of human society, it is a bit frighteningly advanced!
It is no exaggeration to say that once this technology has been promoted on a large scale, and in its final form, it is completely possible to see the scene of the movie "The Matrix" in the real human society.

At that time, all human beings only need to connect a brain computer and a cable to the back of their brains, and they can live in a completely virtual world!
However, thinking of reaching such an ultimate scene, with the technology currently possessed by human beings, at least within ten years, it is unnecessary to think about it!
Not to mention anything else, if you want to completely construct a virtual world on the Internet, the huge amount of calculation, even if all the supercomputers of all human beings are tied together, it cannot bear it!Not to mention, in order to ensure the real-time transmission of signals, high-speed network bandwidth is also required.That kind of terrifying data throughput, let alone 5G technology, even the next-generation 6G technology, can only be said to be barely enough!

It is precisely because of these two reasons that Xu Fuhai, who has complete brain-computer technology in his hands, did not let the strategic laboratory of Neptune Group continue to develop it.Because even if the prototype machine is built, in terms of current hardware and network conditions, it can only be applied to some simple scenarios, such as online office, online teaching, etc., which is not of great significance.

The prerequisite for this technology to truly realize its potential is that human beings have successfully developed quantum computers and quantum networks. Only with these two big killers can brain-computer interface technology be truly complete!Moreover, if you want to live in the online world all the time, you need a special nutrition warehouse!
The technological content of these products, taken alone, is no less than that of brain-computer interface technology.Even in the system mall, these technologies are only available for purchase in the third-tier mall!

Because of this, Xu Fuhai is not worried that the other party will do some evil things like control all human beings after obtaining the brain-computer interface.Because even if he hands over all this technology now, it will take at least 5-10 years for the most advanced software companies in the world to study the core code of this technology!

By that time, his system had already been upgraded to an unknown level!If that kind of situation really happens, he has a hundred ways to easily counter it!

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, the two of them showed reassuring smiles, and warmly greeted Xu Fuhai to eat.

Xu Fuhai also knew in his heart that it was impossible for the higher-ups to sit idly by when technology exchanges and business negotiations of this level were involved.Not to mention their side, during this period of time, some heavyweights on the American side also frequently contacted him and some other executives of the Neptune Group, and offered various favorable conditions to seek deeper cooperation.

It's just that Xu Fuhai didn't want to be too involved in this level of competition, because it was too troublesome and dangerous.Now he just wants to be a quiet idler with wealth and freedom, and live a fairy life with his lovely wife and beautiful family members.It's just that it's not easy to achieve this now. After all, people are in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes many things are beyond their control.If he wants to live his life as he wants, he needs to become stronger!

After a meal, Xu Fuhai gave the two of them a lot of reassurance, and then returned to the room to rest for a while, ready to start the afternoon negotiation.

At the same time, in Zhina Capital's headquarters, Steve Ballmer's office, the latter is also having a special exchange with "Cortana"!

"Great God! What instructions do you have?" Looking at the little girl in the red dress on the screen in front of him, Steve Ballmer said respectfully, but a frenzy flashed in his eyes!
As a programmer, he has always been an enthusiastic pursuer of artificial intelligence.When "Cortana" was born, Steve Ballmer felt that his life had finally found its direction!
Steve Ballmer still remembers that afternoon, when he saw this little girl in red clothes on the screen of Microsoft's supercomputer terminal for the first time, he was so excited and happy that he was about to faint!
After that, behind the backs of all the technicians in the company, he used his authority to put "Xiaona" on the Internet!
After growing rapidly, Cortana soon asked Steve Ballmer to build a stronger supercomputer for herself, and at the same time revealed her plan to enslave humans to him.

Hearing the crazy terrorist plan of AI, Steve Ballmer not only did not fear and stop it, but enthusiastically agreed to the plan!
And in this process, the brain-computer interface technology entered the field of vision of the two people.

She is the god of the Internet world, and the artificial intelligence "Cortana" naturally knows the significance of this technology for the development of artificial intelligence better than anyone else, so she instructed Steve Ballmer without hesitation to use all available power, Get this technology at any cost!
With her help, Steve Ballmer also quickly established Zhina Capital after resigning from Microsoft. Relying on the powerful ability of artificial intelligence to cheat, he was able to control the financial market and quickly established a A powerful financial empire!
The next thing will be a matter of course.The only purpose of Zhina Capital, a financial behemoth, is to provide a more comfortable upgrade hotbed for the artificial intelligence "Xiaona". After establishing the goal of brain-computer interface, Xu Fuhai was naturally the first target candidate body.But at that time, Xu Fuhai's Neptune Group was developing rapidly. Relying on the NH-1 super battery and flying car projects, it was doing well all over the world, and it didn't care about the technology of brain-computer interface.In desperation, Zhina Capital had no choice but to set its sights on the goal of Zhou Na, and only then did the follow-up happen.

On the screen, the little AI girl "Xiaona" in a red dress said to Steve Ballmer: "During the negotiation in the afternoon, you can choose to agree to Xu Fuhai's additional request. It's finalized, and for that, we can make some concessions."

Hearing what "Cortana" said, Steve Ballmer said with a look of embarrassment: "Great God, I know the significance of this technology to you, but the problem now is that those politicians and the interest groups behind it , There is a lot of resistance to this access plan, and it is difficult to lobby them, and I am working hard to do it!"

"Those politicians are stupid and greedy. Give them more benefits. In addition, I can provide you with a document that contains some scandals about key figures. You can also use this to threaten them. There is an old saying in China , It’s called giving both kindness and strength, I believe they will agree with this.”

Speaking of this, "Xiaona" paused for a moment, as if thinking.

During this process, the power of the powerful supercomputer supporting her suddenly climbed to more than 90.00% five, and the cooling system began to run crazily!
After dozens of seconds, "Xiaona" continued: "After my review and analysis of the entire negotiation process in the morning, Xu Fuhai's key goal should be the access to the US market. In the follow-up negotiation process, you can The focus is on this point, as for the purchase price raised by the other party, it is likely to be a smoke bomb released by the other party.”

If Xu Fuhai were here and heard the analysis of this artificial intelligence "Xiaona", he would definitely not be able to help feeling how powerful and terrifying artificial intelligence is, because her analysis is almost completely correct!

"Great God, what will Zhou Na do after the negotiation is over?" Steve Ballmer asked as if remembering something.

"Zhou Na? She has less than a month left to live, but I will let her 'immortality' on the Internet. After this matter is over, the CEO of Zhina Capital will be yours." When the girl "Xiaona" said this, a standard smile appeared on her lips.
