67: Chapter 67 Boss, you're truly brilliant.

Chen Jiuge was moved by Gao Yuan's words...

"Is President Gao willing to help me?" Chen Jiuge knew he couldn't do it on his own. Perhaps it might be possible in ten years, but now... it was impossible!

Gao Yuan extended a hand: "I will do my utmost! Let's work together!"

"Good, good, let's work together..."

"President Chen, we need to sign an agreement to stand together on our chip policies—such as price adjustments and market control. Our three companies—Xiaxin International, Xiawei and Longxin, and Black Fish Technology—must maintain a unified stance in the chip market. Otherwise, I will terminate the partnership at any time!"

"Of course..."

Chen Jiuge said with a serious expression.

"Very well. I will provide you with more efficient Photolithography Machines and dispatch experts to design new chips for you. We must control at least 90% of the global chip market in the shortest possible time!"

"Thank you, President Gao..."

Afterwards, Gao Yuan called Zhou Lei...

Xiawei was already aligned with Black Fish Technology. Now, with the addition of Xiaxin International, the three companies had different divisions of labor, covering the high, medium, and low-end markets entirely. The three companies signed an agreement at Black Fish Technology Industrial Park and established the 'Xia Country Chip Alliance'!

The headquarters of the Xia Country Chip Alliance was located in Qinjing, and the three companies each sent personnel to form the alliance's organizing committee.

The charter stipulated that the chip alliance aimed to enhance the cohesion of the Xia Country chip industry, elevate the voice of the Xia Country semiconductor industry, unify the chip market, and promote the harmonious and rapid development of the Xia Country chip industry...

After the alliance was established, it was submitted to the relevant departments for review...

However, approval was just a matter of time, as Xiawei, Black Fish Technology, and Xiaxin International were all well-known companies in Xia Country.

However, when the news of the alliance's formation spread, it still sparked some discussion online!

The biggest reaction came from neighboring Yuandian, who had been struggling to survive during this period, relying entirely on low-end chips. Even their small amount of high-end chips were not only unprofitable due to price cuts but were actually causing losses.

Even so, they were still continuously losing market share...

Now, upon hearing that Xiaxin International was colluding with Black Fish Technology, they were suddenly anxious...

This was cutting off their lifeline.

Consequently, Yuandian appealed to the World Trade Organization, accusing the Xia Country Chip Alliance of attempting to achieve market monopoly through dumping...

But... this complaint sank like a stone in the ocean.

Gao Yuan only gave a disdainful smile at Yuandian's reaction...

I've laid out so much just to make you go bankrupt! Let's see how long you can hold on...

After settling the chip market, Gao Yuan had Xu Lin contact Nine Stars...

To cooperate with Nine Stars through formal channels.

Nine Stars had a guilty conscience, but they couldn't resist the temptation and immediately promised to send executives to Muza for negotiations.

Gao Yuan then passed through the Space-Time Gate. After the hijacking incident, Gao Yuan felt he still needed a security team. After all, he would be doing more and more things in the future. Although Li Zhengji was the first to make a move against him, he definitely wouldn't be the last...

Just as Gao Yuan arrived at the 2024 Club...

Nine Stars' Li Bingxi was on the phone with the head of the Morgan Family, Young Morgan.

The Morgan Family was a famous consortium in the United States and a Wall Street financial tycoon. They held shares in several major global semiconductor manufacturers. Gao Yuan's sudden appearance had caused the value of the stocks in his hands to plummet.

Moreover, killing Gao Yuan wasn't just his intention; other consortiums also agreed. Because the existence of Gao Yuan and Zhang Baiyi was a ticking time bomb. As long as they admitted that the previous news about the leader's death was forged by them, and released the project files of the forged video, it would definitely become the biggest scandal in the history of the United States, and all the consortiums and executives involved would become sinners in the history of the United States...

But if Gao Yuan died...

There would be no proof, and by banning the accounts of those 'rumor mongers', this matter would slowly disappear over time.

Young Morgan hadn't expected that such a simple matter would be botched by that Li Zhengji from Nine Stars!

Li Bingxi didn't want to make a move against Gao Yuan anymore...

He was trying to persuade Young Morgan...

"Your Excellency Morgan, Gao Yuan is a businessman. As long as we bring him into our camp, everything will be foolproof! Moreover, winning Gao Yuan over is beneficial to us. He not only possesses higher chip design and manufacturing technology but also has better resources in Xia Country. He can help us reopen the Xia Country market..."

Young Morgan wanted to curse, "I understand the logic, but is Gao Yuan trustworthy? Unless he allows us to invest in Black Fish Technology, that would be the only way to trust him. Do you understand?"

Li Bingxi continued: "I understand, but things cannot be done in one step. Let's cooperate first, and then swap shares later. Or, isn't your United States best at creating financial crises? During the next financial crisis, we can directly harvest Black Fish Technology..."

"To harvest them, they must first go public... and it must be on NASDAQ. Take Xiawei as an example; if they don't go public, there's nothing we can do about them..."

Li Bingxi frowned: "That is indeed a problem, but it's not a big one. I can reveal a bit: Gao Yuan has his sights set on the United States market, and this is an opportunity... On your home turf, I believe you have ways to infiltrate! Right?"

"Fine, we can try. But if Gao Yuan cannot become one of our own, then he can only be a dead man..."

"Of course..."

At this moment, Gao Yuan was sitting in the office of the 2024 Club, and Wang Yifei Bingbing was reporting on the club's operations during this period.

At this moment, Lin Nanwu poked her head in: "Sir, are you still busy?"

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it..."

Lin Nanwu looked at Wang Yifei Bingbing, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'll come back later!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand... Lin Nanwu ran out.

At this time, Wang Yifei Bingbing continued: "Boss, we have added another Diamond member, 12 new Gold members, 201 new Silver members, and 853 new Bronze members! According to my calculations, because Bronze members don't have enough privileges, they can only be on the lower floors. However, with the increase in members, some scenes have too many people, and the experience isn't very good!"

"How do you plan to solve that?"

"We can set a capacity limit on the control system. I have calculated that for every scene, to get the best experience, each person needs at least 20 square meters of space, which means the number of people per floor cannot exceed 150! We can set a maximum limit in the access control system; once it's full, it will no longer be open unless someone leaves..."

"That works... Right, add a reservation function for Bronze members. If they want to come, they must reserve 24 hours in advance. They can know in advance if there are vacancies. The number of Bronze members visiting at the same time cannot exceed 500 per day!"

Wang Yifei Bingbing's eyes lit up: "If the quota is full, they can pay to cut the line..."

Gao Yuan nodded with a smile...

"Not bad! Not only can they pay to cut the line, but if there is a lot of free space in the high-level scenes, we can set ten spots for each high-level scene every day, allowing Bronze members to purchase a one-day high-level membership experience, but limited to a single scene!"

Wang Yifei Bingbing showed a smug smile: "Exactly, the Bronze members will definitely fight tooth and nail for it. In the high-level scenes, they can meet high-level members. Not only can they enjoy it, but they also have the chance to meet real big shots! Boss, you are truly cunning..."

"I'll give you a chance to reconsider your choice of words..."

Wang Yifei Bingbing stuck out her tongue: "Boss, you are truly wise..."

"Alright, go do it. By the way, help me purchase some things: professional security robots, and that armed self-defense scout, protective balls—buy some of each!"

Wang Yifei Bingbing hesitated for a moment: "Boss, these things... are actually restricted items!"

"Restricted items, how is that possible?"

Gao Yuan clearly bought a set from the Ecological Patrol Team yesterday, but he left it in the jungle. To get it back, he would need to go back into the jungle in the Golden Triangle...

"Boss, they really are restricted items. All security items are only open to public officials and officers! Although the restriction level is relatively low, it is indeed not something I can purchase!"

"Then... post a task!"

"Good... that will be much easier!"

Gao Yuan came to Future World today with two purposes in mind. One was to purchase security supplies, and the other was to start laying out his 'Top-Tier Person' plan based on the information recorded by Huangfu Shan.

After all, his current status in this world was awkward... This awkwardness would sooner or later be exposed. If he didn't plan early, once people discovered he had no foundation, he was afraid he wouldn't have a foothold here, and in the future, he would only be able to go somewhere else to be a small peddler...

Therefore, Gao Yuan asked the robot Yuyuqi to call Huangfu Shan...

Before Huangfu Shan arrived, Lin Nanwu ran in first.

"Sir, I discovered a secret..."

"What secret?"
