The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Bill Morgan was still a little bit unwilling to give up: "Mr. Ma, doesn't your boss want to list the company on Giant Eagle?"

"If it goes public, it will be of great benefit to you personally."

"Based on your company's current performance, its market value will be at least $100 billion after it goes public."

Ma Yilong smiled and said: "The purpose of going public is to raise funds for development."

"But my boss is not short of money."

"So, for him, going public doesn't make any sense, right?"

"Going public doesn't bring many benefits to entrepreneurs, but it can make them lose control of their businesses."

"There are too many speculators in this world."

“This is a disaster for industrialists.”

Ma Yilong seemed to be making a veiled appeal.

Bill Morgan was a little helpless: "But making money just by developing your business is a little too slow."

"If your company is willing to go public, we at Morgan can assist you throughout the process! We can even be your broker. I promise you, I can give you a very high premium!"

"As soon as you go public, you will become super rich!"

Ma Yilong smiled and shook his head, saying: "The money in the stock market is meaningless!"

Bill Morgan said hastily: "But if you can cash out successfully, then wealth can become real wealth."

Ma Yilong said: “After the founder cashes out and leaves, won’t the company be taken away by others?”

"If my business can make tens of billions of dollars a year, and the growth momentum is even stronger."

"I got tens of billions of dollars from the stock market, but lost a goose that laid golden eggs. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for me?"

Bill Morgan: “…”

He really didn't expect that this young man's thinking was so clear.

In fact, even in Giant Eagle, there are many family businesses that do not choose to go public, but choose to be privately operated by the family.

In this situation, the financial tycoons should not even think about taking advantage of the opportunity to control the situation.

They have no control over it at all.

At Giant Eagle, the most representative of such non-listed family giants are Cargill and Koch Industries.

Cargill is a food giant.

Koch is an industrial giant.

Both companies have annual revenues of over 100 billion US dollars, and their profits are also astonishing.

Bill Morgan spent a lot of time at QQ.

He hopes to be able to convince Ma Yilong.

He felt that Ma Yilong was able to become the head of QQ Company in Juying, which meant that Ma Yilong must have a very close relationship with the boss of QQ.

But Bill Morgan ultimately failed to achieve any of his goals.

He could only leave in disappointment.

"Damn it!"

"This young man is so cunning!"

Bill Morgan said viciously as he sat in the car.

Tom was sitting in the front passenger seat and didn't dare to speak.

Bill Morgan shook his head and said, "It seems that there should be many investment opportunities in Longguo."

“They also have a lot of high-quality businesses.”

“But we cannot get the dividends of investment in those enterprises.”

"This is really a damn thing!"

"A rough estimate of the company QQ shows that their annual revenue may exceed $100 billion in the future!"

"What a big piece of fat meat!"

“But we can’t even put it in our mouths!”

“It’s simply unbearable!”

Bill Morgan babbled on and on.

After Bill Morgan visited QQ company, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Because it is obvious that this Internet company will grow into a giant.

What a great investment opportunity!

But he couldn't get it.

It felt as if he had been robbed.

In fact, he had just hinted to Ma Yilong: If QQ does not give Morgan the opportunity to share profits, QQ will not get any protection.

If QQ is not protected, it will definitely be coveted in the future, or even divided up by powerful rivals.

But Ma Yilong doesn't seem to care at all!
He seems to be very confident.

"Boss, actually, maybe we can talk to Weibo about investment cooperation."

"This Internet company is also very strong now." Tom finally had to say something.

He knew that his boss was very upset.

At this time, as a subordinate, he must provide emotional value.

He had to divert Bill Morgan's emotions in another direction.

Bill Morgan's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Weibo is indeed a very good company. They seem to have quite a few users..."

Tom said: "Weibo now has more than 100 million users, and quite a lot of people have become accustomed to reading news and comments on Weibo."

“Its influence is growing.”

Bill Morgan frowned and said, "Weibo seems to be a Dragon country company, right?"

Tom nodded and said, "Yes."

“It is a public opinion tool with great influence.”

"I personally think that in terms of creating a public opinion environment, Weibo is more powerful than QQ."

Bill Morgan sighed and said, "This is a conspiracy of the dragon."

"They sent a batch of excellent software to us at Giant Eagle all at once. Their purpose is very clear, which is to dominate us with a series of software!"

Tom said: "That would be horrible."

"Boss, how do you think we should solve this problem?"

Bill Morgan shook his head and said, "There's no good solution."

"The Eagle King said that we have no advantage at all when facing the dragon."

"But I think at least we should use the law to crack down on it, right?"

“But no one seems to be doing this.”

"If Weibo is also part of the dragon's conspiracy, then it won't be easy for us to buy it and invest in it through market means!"

Bill Morgan suddenly felt a little depressed.

Because he felt that the giant eagle now was not the giant eagle he knew before.

The giant eagle in the past was very brave!
Now, no matter what you do, you have to look ahead and behind.

This is the classic sign of decline!
Bill Morgan was thinking: It seems that I should be more restrained when facing a dragon in the future!
We still need to establish a good relationship with Longguo as soon as possible.

Tom said, "I'm willing to give it a try for the boss."

Bill Morgan nodded and said, "You can go and have a look!"

"I hope my guess is wrong."

……

After seeing Bill Morgan off, Ma Yilong shook his head. He thought this top tycoon from the Giant Eagle family was quite funny.

This old guy is just like a chameleon. Look at how many changes he makes!
Ma Yilong was also very emotional.

He thought, if QQ was not backed by a powerful dragon, these wealthy tycoons would have been able to seize it in a matter of minutes. That night, Ma Yilong told Wang Haoran about Bill Morgan's initiative to visit him.

After listening to this, Wang Haoran said, “This financial giant must be crying out of envy, right? Haha!”

"Our QQ is an absolutely high-quality, phenomenal software with huge potential."

"Based on the current situation, it is possible that the annual revenue of Giant Eagle alone will exceed 100 billion yuan."

Ma Yilong said: "Boss Wang, don't you always say that the Eagle chaebols have no bottom line?"

"I always have a bad feeling. I think they are waiting for the right moment to snatch our business away."

Wang Haoran said: "Your hunch is right."

"But they probably don't dare to do that now."

"Because they don't dare to completely break up with us now."

Ma Yilong said: "But the masters in their parliament will probably do all kinds of things."

"I already know that several members of parliament are clamoring to take action against our software from Dragon Country."

"They even demanded that we sell our company to their Giant Eagle company."

"I wonder if we share some of the profits with the Eagle financial giants, will they restrain the congressmen they have hired and let us breathe a sigh of relief?"

Wang Haoran said: "It is normal for the legislators to act like monsters. They will definitely jump around more happily in the future."

"In addition, I must say this: the more we share profits with those giants, the more it will stimulate their bloodthirsty nature!"

"You give them 10%, they want 50%, you give them 50%, they want all of it!"

"I've also figured it out. Sharing benefits won't bring peace."

"The only thing that can bring peace is our own strength!"

"They don't dare to take action now because they are afraid!"

"I will also ask our top leaders to support you from a policy perspective!"

"Yeah! You guys have to be tough too!"

"Let's just be tough!"

"At worst, we can just destroy the website database and evacuate. It's really nothing."

……

The development of the Internet around the world is quite rapid.

In just about a year, the Internet was basically popularized in major superpowers around the world.

Of course, this is mainly due to Longguo’s strong promotion and construction capabilities.

The Dragon State has made every effort to promote the rapid construction of world-class Internet infrastructure.

Submarine and land optical cables extend all over the world.

Longguo obtained all the contracts for Internet construction projects and began to vigorously export construction.

By early January 1986, the world network was completed.

Longguo's Internet websites and client software quickly became popular around the world.

Several world-class software are all from Longguo.

For social networking, there are QQ and Weibo; for search, there is Baidu; for e-commerce, there is Taobao; and for video, there is Xiaoyang Video.

Even in the portal field, Longwang has become a world-class website.

In just one year, the world has changed dramatically. The entire world has been changed by the Internet.

The hegemony of public opinion that the Eagle had originally created with the help of powerful traditional media and by bribing intellectual journalists from various countries was quickly undermined by the Internet.

Because the emergence of the Internet, especially the rapid development of social information sharing websites, allows everyone to express their opinions, and information quickly began to be decentralized.

Decentralization of information is a fatal move.

Originally, ordinary people had no channels to speak out.

All media resources are controlled by newspapers, television and other media.

Whoever controls these media also controls the media's voice channels.

Even if ordinary people are extremely dissatisfied with a piece of information they read, they can only vent their feelings by making a phone call.

If others don’t give you a voice, you won’t be able to make your own voice heard.

Now, everyone can publish information on their own.

Everyone can comment.

If the media has biased views, they will be attacked, corrected, or even ridiculed by the general public.

Of course, the managers of Internet platforms have enormous power at this time.

With the platform in hand, you can influence the direction of public opinion.

In the past, the Eagle occupied almost all the more powerful international social information platforms, so even in the 20s of the new century, it could still have hegemony over public opinion.

It can still create a favorable atmosphere of public opinion in its favor throughout the world.

Many people always talk nonsense about information cocoons. In fact, the largest information cocoons are all on the software of Giant Eagle.

On those softwares, Julong was almost hacked to pieces.

The eagle is trying hard to dress itself up and make its skin more beautiful.

In this world, the dragon dominates the Internet, so naturally it wants to make the Internet's public opinion more fair and transparent.

We must expose the true faces of the Eagle's chaebol giants and expose the ugliness of the Lizard.

Of course, it is not easy to influence the Eagle people who grew up under happy education.

Happy education can easily lead to a simple mind and insufficient comprehension ability.

In addition, with the division and disintegration of the chaebol elites, the people of Eagle have actually become a group of scattered sands, without any organizational and combat capabilities at all.

Even though they don't control guns, they are truly a mob.

Because, under the guidance of extreme liberalism, people's selfishness and indulgence of self-desires have been cultivated to the extreme.

They have no spirit of helping each other. Although they greet each other cheerfully on the surface, most of them are selfish people who take advantage of their neighbors.

In fact, Wang Haoran never thought about changing the people of Daying.

He just wanted to enlighten these people.

What if after long-term influence, he really becomes a powerful person?

Wang Haoran still has expectations for this.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 1986.

In the past year, in addition to the major event of the Internet, there were actually quite a lot of major events.

For example, the development of the Dragon Kingdom Navy began to gain momentum this year.

A total of five 052D destroyers were put into service this year, and at least eight more are under accelerated construction.

The powerful capabilities of 052D were soon fully demonstrated.

Although it does not seem so easy to verify the strength of a destroyer in peacetime.

However, in fact, in the vast ocean, various confrontations without the smoke of gunpowder still occur from time to time.

For example, in the past, large black fish often approached our coastal areas quietly.

Moreover, they are quite unscrupulous.

Later, although our anti-submarine capability improved a lot, those things still refused to give up and wanted to continue close-range exercises.

However, after the 052D is quickly put into service, one 052D can control the situation within a radius of 200 nautical miles.

Don't even think about getting close to something like a big black fish.

Because once it gets close, it will be discovered immediately.

Once discovered, they will be warned and interfered with.

If the underwater snakehead fish is disturbed, it can be quite fatal and various malfunctions can easily occur.

For example, in the previous life, one of Eagle’s big black fishes inexplicably crashed into a mountain on the bottom of the southern sea. Can you imagine it?
The 052D has comprehensive capabilities and is also very strong in anti-submarine warfare. It can block some areas where the big black fish must pass, quickly find it, and then force it to surface.

In addition to the 052D, the first domestically-made aircraft carrier was actually undergoing sea trials, and by early January 1986, carrier-based aircraft were ready to be deployed on board. (End of this chapter)
