Chapter 487: Business Direction

When he woke up, it was already past eight o'clock.

After taking a shower, washing up, and having some breakfast, by the time Sun Cheng drove to the location of Cybertron Technology following his memory, it was already past ten-thirty in the morning.

"... I am truly sorry, President Wang. I was forced to drink a bit too much last night, which severely affected today's schedule!"

Wang Lu, the professional manager he had hired, had been promoted by him to CEO of Cybertron Technology Company not long ago. Last night, he had also participated in the banquet where the aggressive Panda Communications Group had seized the initiative as the host.

Wang Lu, who was clearly a veteran of such battlefields, was much better at adapting to this "alcohol battlefield" than Sun Cheng. He remembered that Wang Lu had helped him block several drinks at the banquet, yet today he still looked like he was completely unaffected.

Wang Lu was likely recalling his performance at the dinner table last night; judging by the subtle twitching of his expression, he probably wanted to laugh, but he still remembered Sun Cheng's status and said politely, "Alcohol is not a good thing after all. If it weren't for work, I rarely drink."

He took a tin of Longjing tea from the office cabinet, pinched some tea leaves to brew two cups, and handed one to Sun Cheng.

"Thank you!"

Sun Cheng took the cup and thanked him.

He liked drinking tea, so after Cybertron Technology was established, he, not being short on money himself, allocated funds to purchase a batch of tea leaves for hospitality and daily company consumption.

On this point, the standard was the same for everyone from the company's technical groups to the middle and senior management, and even his own office. The only difference was the brand and variety of tea leaves depending on individual tastes, but the unified purchase price for a 500g tin of tea was basically maintained at around two hundred, which was the price of new tea from a brand when it first hit the market.

The two sat down, and Wang Lu turned down the office air conditioning a bit before sitting down next to him and saying, "Chairman Sun, what do you think of last night's banquet?"

Sun Cheng took a light sip of tea and exhaled a puff of hot air.

"Panda was not very willing when they signed!"

"Hehe!"

Wang Lu chuckled; he understood that his worries from last night were overthinking.

The technical genius in front of him, who was young enough to make people jealous, clearly had a much more transparent mind than some of the young people who had just walked out of school that he had worked with before.

This was for the best, as it saved their enterprise, which held advanced technology, from being swallowed by those capital monsters that would eat you without spitting out the bones.

"Chairman Sun, you noticed it too. Indeed, as one of the three giants of the IT industry in China, Panda Communications Group started with social networking. After more than twenty years of development, its business now covers the entire internet, and even hundreds of categories online and offline. The group has over nine hundred subsidiaries, and the venture capital they scatter every year is no less than one billion US dollars. What are they after in wanting to cooperate with us? To put it bluntly, it's profit!"

Wang Lu also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then brought out what he had been thinking about all night, "... If we talk about what is most attractive about Cybertron Technology now, it is undoubtedly the new mobile storage technology that can be called revolutionary... or more clearly, it is a brand-new storage technology different from what is currently on the market. This is what Panda wants most!"

Sun Cheng nodded, his face showing no further emotional fluctuation.

The storage technology he brought to the real world, even after being simplified by the Decepticon engineers from the Transformers World that he had commissioned, could absolutely be called the blackest of black technology in the real world.

Cybertron Technology Company currently relies on its product, Cybertron Cloud Drive, and the only product it has temporarily launched to the public is the mobile hard drive.

However, anyone who knows a little bit about semiconductors knows that the capacity increase of storage products is not, as the ignorant think, simply making things bigger so that the writable data capacity increases accordingly.

On the contrary, since the 1970s and 80s, the development trend of semiconductors has always been smaller and more precise.

Therefore, to achieve further capacity increases for increasingly smaller storage disks, one can only focus on breakthroughs in four areas: "materials, writing technology, core architecture, and production industry."

Over the past period, Cybertron Technology Company has successively sent mobile hard drives to hundreds of thousands of members who paid and purchased them. Some of these fell into the hands of enterprises and evaluation agencies, all of which gave assessments like "excellent production process, very high quality."

Combined with the fact that Cybertron Technology Company is still a new company established only a few months ago, as long as one is not a fool, it is not difficult to reach a conclusion: Cybertron Technology Company has mastered a brand-new storage technology.

As a giant that wishes it could monopolize all categories of the entire Chinese internet industry, Panda Communications Group likely started paying attention to them after Cybertron Cloud Drive began to go viral, and they must have also tested and evaluated the various mobile hard drives they subsequently sold to Cybertron Cloud Drive members.

Otherwise, during the previous negotiations, the president of Panda Communications Group, Wang Zilong, would not have offered a 3 billion US dollar stake in hopes of investing in Cybertron Company to obtain 30% of its equity.

What they value is not Cybertron Cloud Drive, which currently only has two million registered members and just over five hundred thousand permanent members, but the brand-new storage technology held by Cybertron Technology Company.

"Panda has been able to develop from an internet company doing social networking to what it is today; their vision is still very seasoned. It is very likely that someone capable has glimpsed some of the company's future business direction from our product line."

Sun Cheng blew on his cup, and hot air swirled around the rim.

Wang Lu nodded thoughtfully. The two of them had already communicated about the future business direction of Cybertron Technology Company before.

Therefore, he knew that in Sun Cheng's plan, Cybertron Cloud Drive was just an online product launched by the company to accumulate users and build a reputation. Even the mobile hard drive would not be the company's main product in the future!

Holding revolutionary storage technology, Cybertron Technology Company's goal from the beginning was the entire DRAM industry, and it was not impossible to even use storage chips as a springboard to become one of the giants in the upstream of the global semiconductor industry chain.

Of course, Sun Cheng only let him know up to this point.

There was still a lot that Wang Lu did not know, such as Sun Cheng's need for many resources in the real world, such as steel, rare metals, rare earths, energy, and even weapons and equipment, to achieve the goal of cultivating Decepticons in the real world.

And to obtain these resources, he needed high national prestige and influence.

To achieve this goal, Cybertron Technology Company must become a giant that controls the upstream of the semiconductor industry chain in the real world.

After all, the several major storage giants in the real world are all behemoths that control the upstream of the semiconductor industry chain. A slight price increase, production cut, or supply restriction can easily cause the profits of an electronic consumer goods manufacturer with excellent performance to plummet, or even severely damage certain export-earning industries of a country.

He only needs to reach the level of those storage giants in reality, and most of the various resources Sun Cheng wants can be obtained.

As for the remaining small part, it depends on the subsequent planning.
