Chapter 433: South Pacific Bank

In addition to the Alibaba Cloud matter, Boss Ma met William Chen this time and talked about another thing about siri smart speakers. After siri company launched smart speakers from the United States, it has now reached the second generation of products. , With the development, the cost of smart speakers has decreased, and the scope of promotion has become wider.

At present, Amazon is also preparing to launch similar products, but because of its first-mover advantage, siri smart speakers still firmly occupy the dominant position in the European and American markets.

In South Korea, kakao company invested by Chen William also cooperated with siri company to form a joint venture company, kakao company is responsible for the development of the Korean version of the siri smart speaker, and shares the South Korean version of the siri smart speaker with the meta group. data for better AI development.

Now Ali's boss Ma has tasted the sweetness of the **** Huaguo company that cooperated with meta technology, and now he hopes to continue to cooperate with them to develop the Huaguo version of the siri smart speaker, and the two sides share these data.

For this request made by Boss Ma, Chen William does not object, because he understands that the recognition and artificial intelligence of siri smart speakers in Chinese also requires local team cooperation, but he proposed another One of the solutions is to bring in hardware manufacturers and Xiaomi, and cooperate with meta technology, Alibaba and Xiaomi, which will be more beneficial to the promotion of siri smart speakers.

Chen William knew that in his previous life, in the smart speaker market, Ali's Tmall Genie, Xiaomi's Xiaoai and Baidu's Xiaodu were three well-known smart AI terminals. Xianzai pulled both Ali and Xiaomi into its own. The siri camp will be very beneficial to its market share in China.

Besides, to be honest, in terms of technology, among the current three bat giants, Ali is the weaker party, which is why Boss Ma is so keen to cooperate with Chen William's meta technology.

This is also the reason why William Chen chose to cooperate with Ali in China.

In the end, they added Lei Jun, and the result of the discussion was to form siri Huaguo Company.

Huaguo Company holds 51% of the shares, and Meta Technology Company holds 49% of the shares, so that Siri Huaguo Company can be said to be a company controlled by Chinese capital.

In Taomi, Ali holds 60% of the shares, and Xiaomi holds 40% of the shares. It can be said that although Ali directly holds siri Huaguo's shares, just over 30%, but in this way , still able to maintain control of siri Huaguo Company.

And this plan also ensures Xiaomi's interests in Siri Huaguo, which can be said to be a result that all parties are satisfied with.

In the next few days, Chen William's satellite phone received a call from his cousin Roger.

His satellite phone, which is rarely used in ordinary times, is specially provided by the "Siren No. 1" communication satellite of SP Telecom in Atlanta. The security level is very high and will not be monitored by others.

"Is there any action over there?"

Hearing what Roger said on the phone, William Chen was silent for a moment and asked:

"The reporter found it?"

After receiving an affirmative reply from Roger, William Chen instructed:

"Be optimistic about him, does he have any definite evidence in his hand?"

"We've seen the evidence, and it's valuable, but it shouldn't have much impact on him. It can only be said that he will suffer losses. I'm afraid this is the reason why the other party will attack this reporter."

"Hide him temporarily and see how the other party will react in the future."

Just now, Roger told him that a member of the Southern Cross Security Company, who was in charge of monitoring Han Dong, rescued a reporter who was almost in danger of his life, and the other party seemed to have some information that William Chen would be interested in, so William Chen Tell each other to act with care. pen fun library

At the same time, Chen William was also looking forward to what kind of content the [Eye of Surveillance] he released could bring back to him.

The recording time of [Eye of Surveillance] is 4 hours, and there is no result yet, that is, the recording has not been completed. Of course, in an emergency, Chen William can still recall it, but it is not yet necessary. He still hopes to get more recordings.

Although in Chen William's previous life, his identity at that time, in front of Han Dong, can be said to be an ant with no resistance, but just because he blocked the other party, he was casually stepped on.

But in this world, the identities of both sides have been transposed, if Chen William wants to

It's easy to deal with him without worrying too much.

It's just like when your identity reaches a certain level, some people will only get dirty when you do it yourself. Chen William has also reached the point where he doesn't need to go off the court to deal with such people himself. It is enough to watch from a distance, let his men go to deal with him, and let him get the end he deserves.

By the end of January, before William Chen was going to leave China with Ivanta and his daughter and return to the United States to visit his family, Li Ying came to the magic capital.

In her current status, she is the CEO of South Pacific Industrial Investment Corporation, responsible for many industrial investments around Atlanta.

Li Ying came to Modu this time, and by the way, he talked to Chen William about some recent investments and operations of the South Pacific Industrial Investment Company.

In addition to some of the previous infrastructure and the construction of the economic zone on Marcus Island, the first bank, the South Pacific Bank, was also created on Atlanta Island.

Different from traditional banks, the main business of South Pacific Bank can be handled through the Internet, rather than the traditional model of setting up business outlets everywhere At present, South Pacific Bank is mainly for Yate Savings services are available for working visas in the Isle of Lagos and Marathas Economic Zones and for residents of Atlanta.

In these areas, the use of cash is relatively rare at present. Almost everyone uses paypal to scan code or transfer money, while South Pacific Bank can easily bind paypal for mobile payment.

And because of the geographical location of Atlanta, many necessities of life need to be supplied through imports, so the price is often slightly higher than other areas.

The Atlanta Management Committee will provide consumption subsidies to work visas and residents of the Atlantic Island and the Marcus Economic Zone.

This kind of subsidy is not directly issued to everyone with a fixed amount, but in the form of consumption refunds. The Atlanta Management Committee will provide a certain amount of refund subsidies for all goods on the island, and according to each person's purchase price For monthly consumption using South Pacific Bank accounts, different proportions of consumption refunds will be issued at the beginning of each month.

Residents with residency rights naturally have a higher rate of refunds than those with work visas. This measure is also to subsidize the high-consumption part of residents and to promote residents' consumption on Atlanta.
