Chapter 224 A bargaining chip far beyond imagination
Chen Yuanguang doesn't feel much about the ridicule from the outside world, not just because he doesn't care that much about fame.
At the beginning, he was still happy because he became famous and got news about himself in various media and self-media. He has lived like this for five years, and the spotlight and the appreciation from the outside world are as good as Just like a common meal.
He has long been desensitized to fame and fortune. Being able to transform the world according to his own will and prevent it from becoming the lifeless world ruled by Alpha four hundred years later is the biggest thing for Chen Yuanguang. source of power.
Fame and wealth are just accessories in the process of achieving goals.
At the same time, Chen Yuanguang knows very well that Samad is just another identity of his, and the new top player is his vest. This feeling is quite strange.
A very important reason why Chen Yuanguang chose Malaysia instead of completely following Alpha’s route was time.
Compared with the time when Alpha started, the entire Africa is too immature in terms of infrastructure, and all water and electricity networks need to be redone.
Except for a few big cities, basic literacy has not been completed in most places. Starting from this place is too difficult and takes too long.
As for Southeast Asia, as the radiation range of Greater China, the overall level is roughly equivalent to that of China ten years ago. It has a certain foundation in terms of infrastructure and population quality, and is a good target for transformation.
In Chen Yuanguang's view, artificial intelligence is like a lever that can leverage a qualitative change in productivity. However, the original base is too low, so no matter how big the lever is, it will not have much impact.
Coupled with the evolution of China's v strategy, the entire Southeast Asia region will be the front line of struggle in the next few decades, which means a vacuum of power.
This will be very suitable for the third force to fill in and achieve a balance between China and Amerikan.
As for Africa, China is beyond its reach and there is a real risk of being wiped out by Amerikan nuclear bombs.
So in the end Chen Yuanguang chose Malaysia as the starting point of his global strategy.
In a sense, it coincides with global capital, because global technology giants have begun to enter Malaysia aggressively in the past two years, basically starting with US$2 billion to invest in building data centers in Malaysia.
These technology giants are also interested in Malaysia’s advantages in hydropower and manpower, as well as its superior geographical location: it is located in the heart of Southeast Asia and can radiate throughout Southeast Asia.
Lin Jia was not just curious, but also interested in what Chen Yuanguang was going to do.
The starting point is tens of billions of dollars, and if you just start a business, you don’t have to go to Malaysia at all. Starting a business in the country is convenient in all aspects. No matter where you want to go, the government of that place will definitely give the green light to all kinds of things. The preferential policies are full.
Malaysia, even if you are not familiar with the place, if your entrepreneurial achievements are too big and you don’t show your face, your entrepreneurial achievements will be plundered in an instant.
If you have extraordinary ambitions, you will use extraordinary means. This logic is the same as the equality of power and obligation.
Based on Lin Jia's understanding of Chen Yuanguang, the other party's ambition was only after the wedding assassination incident. At least it was to drive Amerikan out of Southeast Asia.
As for monopolies, Lin Jia has also thought about extending his tentacles into all aspects of Malaysia and controlling the entire Southeast Asia. However, it is too difficult and takes too long to do so, and the possibility is not high.
But no matter what kind of speculation it was, Lin Jia was extremely curious and wanted to get involved.
Compared with this, other entrepreneurship is no different than a small start. I have witnessed the explosive development of Guangjia Technology and Guangjia Aerospace.
"Has Alpha Technology given us any benefits?"
"No at the moment. They have not said anything. They are currently focused on building their data center in the Nusajaya Park. According to the feedback from Wanguo, they Their data center project was packaged and sold to Alpha Technology.
At the same time, Alpha Technology’s CEO Oraz said that he would continue to invest in expanding the existing data center capacity.
But it will only be on the B side. Businesses like Wanguo, Amazon, and Google are different. Alpha Technology seems to be meeting internal needs and researching artificial intelligence. As for the specific research, no one knows.”
From the perspective of corruption, Malaysia is better than China. Other Southeast Asian countries are better. In the corruption perception index conducted by Transparency International in 2023, Malaysia scored 50, ranking 57th among 180 countries.
This score is slightly higher than the Asia-Pacific average.
If only Southeast Asian countries are considered, the score would be even higher.
However, considering the huge corruption cases of Goldman Sachs and Low Taek Zuo, Malaysia is a bit too prominent.
Belongs to a country with representative events.
But no matter what, corruption is definitely inevitable in this place. It is as normal as eating and drinking, and it has been integrated into the political ecology of Malaysia.
As the new top class, another pronoun is the new fat. Enterprises that do not openly support any party, nor do any politicians openly support them, are obviously targeted by many forces.
A lot of people want to come up and take a bite. Even just a little bit of crumbs is a huge amount.
“Has anyone tried it?”
“Not yet, but it seems that some local officials in Johor want to try to do something with Alpha Technology.
According to what I said in A certain official in Johor wanted to find a local gang in Johor to collude with the security personnel of the Nusajaya Park to go to Alpha Technology's data center and steal some Nvidia graphics cards.
China's computing equipment is not sold to the outside world, so Nvidia's graphics cards are hard currency.
Not to mention that the batch in Alpha Technology’s hands is still the latest H300.
Sir, do you think we should follow suit?
This is a shipment worth US$5 billion. ”
5 billion US dollars is already a number that is enough to make people commit crimes. Nvidia graphics cards are hard currency that can be cashed at any time in the international market.
Not to mention that Malaysia has so many data centers from major technology giants around the world. They are happy to buy Nvidia's latest graphics cards at 20% off or even higher.
“Don’t worry, let them move first, and then we’ll see what happens.”
“If they move, we won’t get a share of the cake.
This The batch is gone, I don’t believe Alpha Technology will continue to invest in Malaysia.”
“Let’s wait and see, I always think it won’t be that simple.
Besides, what Alpha Technologies got was just the first batch of goods, and the bulk of Goldman Sachs is still behind.
Consider Samad’s meteoric rise in the cryptocurrency trading market.
We have to be patient. As long as I am still in this position, there will always be money. Position is much more important than opportunity. ”
The big shots in Kuala Lumpur have the patience to wait, but the grassroots officials in Johor have no patience.
An investment of several hundred million is no problem, it can guarantee your safety, dozens of Billions of dollars of infrastructure investment can also protect your safety.
A five billion US dollar graphics card is like five billion US dollars of gold. No one can buy it in exchange for it.
There are a lot of Johor pawns who are eager to vote and lose their position.
As for why no one dares to steal the Haohan-I quantum computer, nor does it look at who is watching the quantum computer.
"Mr. Oraz, it's bad, there was a theft in the park. More than 5,000 H300 graphics cards from the company were stolen." Oraz received a call from an Alpha Technology employee at three o'clock in the middle of the night. One black. "How much exactly?"
"All 5134 H300 graphics cards have been stolen."
"Call the police."
"Okay."
Oraz put down the phone, he quickly realized that calling the police It's useless. Maybe the staff who called him were involved and all five thousand yuan could be stolen at one time. This is definitely a group crime.
Five thousand yuan, based on the selling price of a single unit of 30,000 US dollars, is 150 million US dollars. This is definitely not something that ordinary groups can do.
Oraz felt like his head was spinning because it was useless to pursue the case. If he didn’t pursue the case, he would face the same problem when future goods arrive. This is an unsolvable paradox.
"Mr. Samad, a serious theft case just occurred in the Nusajaya campus. All the Nvidia graphics cards obtained from the Goldman Sachs transaction were stolen." Oraz said in a heavy tone, and he looked outside In the Johor night, I realized that my position was probably not guaranteed.
No one would dare to invest in Malaysia anymore. Oraz felt that if he were Samad, he might not even trust himself.
"Call the police first and wait until tomorrow." Chen Yuanguang said.
Chen Yuanguang thought that such a thing would happen, but after all, money still moved people's hearts.
The more serious problem is that at this point in time, he has just started to start. When he is still young, he has no way to use targeted blasting methods.
"Mr. Schnander, I want to cooperate with Goldman Sachs." A call was made to Schnander the next day.
After Schnander answered the phone, he saw news on Twitter during the day that Alpha Technology was stolen. He also thought that Samad would call him for help at night.
Although Goldman Sachs has no business in Malaysia, it is not without strength in Malaysia.
"Mr. Samad, I saw what happened to your company in the news. I am very sorry. This is a big loss."
Then he thought about how the other party had made billions of dollars in the hands of Goldman Sachs, and Schnander felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
“Can Goldman Sachs help us recover all these graphics cards and provide security at the same time.”
“Goldman Sachs does not provide security services, but I can recommend some people to you. They may I can help you.”
“Okay.”
Sometimes, the protection fee should be paid, at least at this stage.
Why do you want to ask Goldman Sachs? Because you are looking for a security company with Amerikan behind it. Looking for Goldman Sachs is equivalent to Goldman Sachs acting as an intermediary to introduce you. Otherwise, others may not take this job.
Even if you take this job, you may not take it too seriously.
Chen Yuanguang was able to verify the information Schnande gave to Chen Yuanguang through the Internet. After this experience, Chen Yuanguang became increasingly aware that in the initial stage, he still had to find a visible backer.
At least it is needed at this stage.
At present, if point-to-point blasting is adopted, the chain reaction caused will soon cause Amerikan to be vigilant.
Then under the pressure, you have to start over again.
So even if you are cut once, you have to get through this most difficult period.
As for whether it counts as being cut off or not, it won’t take long for what was given away to be returned to my hands again.
However, Chen Yuanguang learned the biggest lesson, which is not to be too high-profile in the initial stage.
It is the right way to accumulate grain widely and slowly become king.
He couldn't resist being attacked by these little pawns.
"Princess Amina, I am Oraz, CEO of Alpha Technology. Alpha Technology is in an unprecedented period of expansion. We hope to introduce some strategic partners to see if you are willing."
Under Samad's instructions, Alpha Technology was trying to recover the stolen H300 graphics cards while looking for people with high profile in Malaysia as backers.
Amina is considered the best object. She is the daughter of the current king of Malaysia and is said to be the most favored daughter. According to information from Goldman Sachs, this is indeed the case.
Malaysia is different from other places. Their sultans are divided into 9 states in the country. Each state has a sultan, and everyone takes turns to be the king.
The current king of Malaysia is the Sultan from Johor.
So it is convenient for Oraz to find Amina, and Amina’s strength in Johor is enough to protect them.
Amina is very young, less than forty years old, but she is very thin. When she received the invitation and combined with the recent news, Amina guessed the intention of the other party:
"Okay, I know what you want to get, I can give it to you, but what can I get?"
Olaz said: "30%, 30% of Alpha Technology's shares.
>
Alpha Technology has US$200 million in cash on its books, a complete data center in Nusajaya, and Goldman Sachs has a batch of graphics cards worth US$5 billion to be delivered to Alpha Technology.
This is our sincerity. ”
Chen Yuanguang hopes to give shares. Giving shares is meaningless because Alpha Technology does not pay dividends and will not be listed. In the future, after he controls Malaysia, will he distribute the rights in Malaysia according to the shares of Alpha Technology? Is it?
Or will the computing power be distributed by share ratio after the artificial intelligence is successfully cultivated?
Obviously it is impossible, so the shares are completely fictitious.
And after Amina has shares, she will naturally be more concerned about these graphics cards and the assets on the books.
"Mr. Samad is not only as capable as the rumors say, but also very courageous." Amina stood up and applauded.
Amina’s bottom line is US$200 million, which is enough for her to help solve the problem. As a result, the other party’s offer of chips far exceeded her imagination.
“I took it, as long as Alpha Technology is in Johor for one day, I will provide her with safety for one day.
That batch of goods will be sent back tonight by someone who committed this thing No one can escape the punishment of the law
You contact a lawyer and go through the legal process. "
You have to give when you get it. Amina understood this truth when she was 5 years old. When others gave her rewards far beyond her imagination, she had to respond.
"Thank you. Princess. "Olaz bowed.
Amina said: "I still have some questions to ask you. ”
