Chapter 1512: Chapter 1355: Consortium of ERV (Subscribe Please!)
Villa interior.
Brand new furniture.
Brand new decoration.
If Chai Ren were here, he might notice that although there aren’t many similarities to the design drawings of the villa Tang Qing gave him for Sanya, there is a meticulous charm present in it.
Materials.
Assembly.
Corners and seams.
Definitely the highest level of construction.
Furthermore.
There’s even a swimming pool on the underground level, in terms of luxury, they must be among the most lavish attendees at this meeting, the key point is—Tang Qing brought the cook along again.
Sigh.
Stay calm.
We’re all somewhat well-off, shouldn’t act like we’ve never seen such things before.
"Whose house is this?" Ge Feng asked curiously.
"A friend’s."
"Where is this friend?"
"Thinks the house is too small, went to live in the United Kingdom." Tang Qing had his excuse ready. Fighters, through various means, gained a massive amount of property, of course, they couldn’t personally guard each house.
Just like an ancient castle.
In the future.
It will only be used for Tang Qing and his friends to stay.
No subletting.
Ge Feng: "..."
Being someone who can call this house small, Ge Feng felt speechless—thinking of how the Ge Family in the United States is also well-connected, and even has a strong network in Europe although it’s far.
Yet he doesn’t have a friend who can secure a lakeside villa in Davos.
Frustrated.
Feels like the Ge Family hasn’t achieved much over these decades.
...
Afternoon.
Second floor of the villa.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a few people leisurely sipping tea, outside it’s subzero, but inside it’s as warm as spring. By then, Ge Feng had filled the void in his heart with food.
But Ma Yun couldn’t stop feeling amazed, previously she could only stay in ordinary rooms.
Suites?
Forget about it.
All kinds of good rooms were even annually reserved by tycoons. For these unreasonable rich folks, that amount of money is nothing, life quality is what matters most; what you stay in is directly linked to status.
But this time.
Bike turned into a passenger car.
Following Tang Qing indeed comes with many benefits.
"Tang Qing, the forum starts tomorrow, aren’t you nervous, having to give a speech in front of thousands, not government officials but local big shots? If I went up, I’d probably be nervous for a while," Ge Feng sipped his tea and asked Tang Qing.
"Why should I be nervous? They don’t have as much money as I do," Tang Qing joked.
"... Haha, what a bold statement." Ge Feng paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, liking this logic, "But don’t underestimate others, that person from American ERV is also here."
Tang Qing smiled.
"Hehe."
That’s the only word he could use to express his feelings.
Who could know.
ERV is his.
And it’s not even his biggest company, because before it there’s Myanmar Bank Group, a powerful entity that can print money with a strong currency value, among countless other industries.
In terms of keeping a low profile.
He felt no one could compare with him.
"You must know him, right?" Ge Feng asked.
"Yes," Tang Qing nodded, "We’ve talked over the phone." No need to think about it, ’Epoch’ uses ERV’s ’Sirius System’ and also represents several of their mobile games.
To say they don’t know each other.
Who would believe that?
"This person is too mysterious, just be careful when you deal with him, ERV has been very active in the United States recently, you really don’t want to get involved, it’s troublesome," Ge Feng seriously cautioned.
"Hehe, okay," Tang Qing smiled.
ERV.
By the end of this year.
Initiated consortium-oriented development, all its industries have started upstream and downstream expansion, transitioning from solely the Internet industry to the hardware field.
It’s hard to avoid infringing the interests of these consortia.
Take ARM for example.
Starting from pure microprocessor architecture, it moved toward chip design, a development that brought joy and worry to Qualcomm. They rejoiced as processor performance improved significantly.
But worried because.
Their research and development output was hindered.
If it were just ARM, it would still be bearable.
But suddenly.
Next to Qualcomm, a growing ’threat’ emerged. It’s not evident yet, but their latest generation Snapdragon processor outright flattened the one Qualcomm had planned to launch.
Thus.
Qualcomm spent a great deal of money to purchase shares in this company. Now, the microprocessor used in ’Epoch’ is their chip, and Qualcomm still has to pay this company a patent fee for every chip sold.
Frustrating.
The other party now had money.
And their strength would undoubtedly continue to grow.
What now?
Qualcomm hesitated.
If a deadlock occurs.
This company could turn to Intel, filling in Intel’s gaps, and Qualcomm’s dream of dominating the mobile internet and low-power high-performance microprocessor market could be halved.
Technology.
Is the source of transformation.
Based on this consideration.
Qualcomm had no choice but to increase its partners, namely welcoming ARM’s upstream expansion, hoping to remind that company to be cautious and stick to researching chips.
Don’t even think about switching to Intel.
So.
What could have been an unwelcome upstream expansion by ARM suddenly became an urgent and welcome move by Qualcomm, hoping to stabilize that not entirely compliant ’fellow’.
And Intel was also anxious.
Processors.
Whether they’re more suited for mobile or PC use.
Power consumption and heat dissipation are just reference factors.
The fundamental issue is still computing power. Once mobile chips surpass, or far surpass, computers in computing power, then why not use a whole matching system as a computer?
With ERV’s ’playing method’.
It’s not that they can’t make it happen.
This concern isn’t over yet; on their own turf, a company that could turn everything upside down emerged---a company launched a new, highly efficient processor architecture that bypasses the X86 architecture used by Intel and AMD.
Their target is ostensibly ARM.
But damn it.
Upon testing.
This is aiming at messing up our game.
Thus, negotiations are now urgently underway, trying to prevent Qualcomm, ERV, or other internet giants from getting there first. And this is just the hardware field, the software industry is also undergoing rapid changes.
Facebook.
Google.
Following ’Android’s integration into the Sirius System’.
Suddenly, Google felt an urge to throw caution to the wind, initiating extensive collaborations with ERV, cutting many projects, and as for Facebook, recently gone public, ERV is now its major shareholder.
There was no choice.
After seizing "Warfire" and "World" and numerous traffic-drawing software, nearly crushing Facebook, they later decided it’s better to cooperate instead of being defeated.
Just like that.
ERV launched strong attacks in various aspects.
Constantly making headlines in the United States in its relevant fields, and its personal fortune also growing insanely, already exceeding five hundred billion dollars even amid global financial instability.
Just at the end of last month.
ERV invested a large sum of money to acquire a medium-sized bank in California, stepping into the banking industry.
This move.
Can be seen as an official announcement to others.
I’m pursuing consortium development.
Suddenly.
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
