Chapter 434 South Pacific Bank
In addition to the Aliyun matter, Boss Ma met William Chen this time and talked about another thing about the Siri smart speaker. After the Siri company launched the smart speaker from the United States, it has now reached the second generation of products. , with the development, the cost of smart speakers has dropped, and the scope of promotion has become wider.
At present, Amazon is also preparing to launch similar products, but because of the first-mover advantage, Siri smart speakers still firmly occupy the dominant position in the European and American markets.
In South Korea, the Kakao company invested by William Chen also cooperated with Siri to form a joint venture company. Kakao was responsible for the development of the Korean version of the Siri smart speaker, and shared the South Korean version of the Siri smart speaker with the Meta Group. Data for better artificial intelligence development.
Now Ali's Boss Ma has tasted the sweetness of the HOLA Huaguo company that cooperated with Meta Technology, and now hopes to continue to cooperate with them to develop the Huaguo version of the Siri smart speaker, and the two parties will share these data.
For this request made by Boss Ma, William Chen has no objection, because he understands that the recognition and artificial intelligence of Siri smart speakers in Chinese also require local teamwork, but he has proposed another One of the solutions is to bring in the hardware manufacturer, Xiaomi, and Meta Technology, Alibaba and Xiaomi to cooperate. This will be more beneficial to the promotion of Siri smart speakers.
William Chen knew that in his previous life, in the smart speaker market, Ali's Tmall Genie, Xiaomi's Xiao Ai and Baidu's Xiaodu were three relatively well-known smart AI terminals. The Siri camp will be very beneficial to its market share in China.
Besides, to be honest, in terms of technology, among the current BAT giants, Alibaba is relatively weak, which is why Boss Ma is so keen on cooperating with William Chen's Meta technology.
This is also the reason William Chen chose to cooperate with Alibaba in Huaguo.
In the end, they joined Lei Jun, and the result of the discussion was to set up Siri Huaguo Company. This company, Taomi Company, which is jointly held by Ali Company and Xiaomi Company, holds 51% of the shares of Siri Huaguo Company. , holds 49% of the shares, so Siri Huaguo Company can be said to be a company controlled by Huazi.
In Taomi Company, Ali holds 60% of the shares, and Xiaomi Company holds 40% of the shares. It can be said that although Ali Company directly holds the shares of Siri Huaguo Company just over 30%, but through this method , Still able to maintain control over Siri Huaguo Company.
Moreover, this plan also ensures Xiaomi's interests in Siri Huaguo Company, which can be said to be a result that all parties are relatively satisfied with.
In the next few days, William Chen received a call from his cousin Roger on his satellite phone.
His satellite phone is rarely used at ordinary times. It is a service provided by the "Siren [-]" communication satellite of SP Telecom in Atlanta. The security level is very high and it will not be monitored by people.
"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 Roger's affirmative reply, William Chen instructed:
"Keep an eye on him, does he have any definite evidence in his hand?"
"We've seen the evidence, and it's considered valuable, but it shouldn't affect him too much. It can only be said that he will suffer losses. I'm afraid this is why the other party attacked 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 had saved a reporter who was in danger of dying, and there seemed to be some information that William Chen would be interested in, so William Chen Instruct the other party to proceed with caution.
At the same time, William Chen was also somewhat looking forward to what kind of content the [Eye of Surveillance] he released would bring back to him.
The recording time of [Eye of Surveillance] is 48 hours, and there is no result yet, that is, the recording is still not finished. Of course, in an emergency, William Chen can still recall it, but it is not yet necessary. He still hopes to get more recordings.
Although in William Chen's previous life, his identity at that time, in front of Han Dong, could be said to be an ant with no resistance, but because he blocked the opponent, he was trampled on at will.
But in this world, the identities of the two parties have already changed positions. If Chen William wants to deal with him, it is very easy for Chen William to not have too many scruples.
It's just like when your identity reaches a certain level, some people will only get your hands dirty if you do it yourself. William Chen has also reached the point where he doesn't need to deal with such people himself. Looking at it from a distance, it is enough to let one's own men deal with him and let him get the end he deserves.
At the end of January, before Chen William was about to leave China with Ivanta and their daughter and return to the United States to visit his family, Li Ying came to Shanghai.
Her current identity is the CEO of the South Pacific Industrial Investment Company, responsible for many industrial investments around Atlanta Island.
When Li Ying came to Shanghai this time, she talked with Chen Weilian about some recent investments and operations of the South Pacific Industrial Investment Company.
In addition to some previous infrastructure construction and the construction of the economic zone on Malus Island, the first bank, the Bank of the South Pacific, was also established on the island of Atlanta.
Unlike traditional banks, Bank of South Pacific's main business can be handled through the Internet, rather than the traditional model of setting up business outlets everywhere.
At present, Bank of the South Pacific mainly provides savings services for working visas in the economic zone of Atlanta and Malus Island and residents of Atlanta.
In these areas, the current situation of using cash is relatively small. Almost everyone uses PayPal to scan codes for payment or transfer money, and South Pacific Bank can easily bind PayPal for mobile payment.
And because of Atlanta's geographical location, many necessities of life need to be supplied through imports, so the price is often slightly higher than other regions.
The Atlanta Management Committee will provide consumption subsidies for work visas and residents of the Atlanta Island and Malus Economic Zone.
This kind of subsidy is not directly distributed to everyone with a fixed amount, but in the form of consumer refunds. The Atlanta Management Committee will provide a certain amount of refund subsidies for all products on the island, and according to each person's If you use a South Pacific bank account for consumption every month, at the beginning of each month, different proportions of consumption refunds will be issued.
Residents with the right of residence naturally have a higher refund rate than those with work visas. Such a move is also to subsidize the high consumption of residents and to promote residents' consumption on Atlanta.
