Chapter 65

When the bodyguard brought two bottles of Romanée-Conti, Hong Feng's eyes almost sparkled with excitement.

He loved red wine and had tasted many from different countries, but he had never had the chance to taste this king of red wines.

No one had expected that Hong Feng, besides being a tech enthusiast, was also a wine connoisseur.

Soon, everyone understood why Romanée-Conti could be called the king of red wines.

Its aroma was rich and lasting, its flavor refined and full-bodied. The taste was like a "velvet strike," gentle yet powerful.

Each vintage of Romanée-Conti had its unique character; the 1990 vintage had the scent of ripe bell peppers, spices, and leather.

Even Lin Wenwu, who knew little about red wine, was completely captivated by the Romanée-Conti.

Seeing everyone's intoxicated expressions, Wang Zixuan made a decision: to buy the Romanée-Conti vineyard.

Wang Zixuan's eccentricity flared up again.

Actually, he didn't like red wine. It was the prodigal son who was very knowledgeable about it, having purchased a case of 1990 Romanée-Conti while studying in the United States.

He wanted to buy the Romanée-Conti vineyard just to own the king of red wines, so that Western nobles would have to seek his approval to drink the best red wine.

Whether he could buy it or not was never a concern for Wang Zixuan.

There were few things in this world that couldn't be bought, it just depended on whether the price was right.

Moreover, the European debt crisis was intensifying, making it a good opportunity to raid Europe.

For Wang Zixuan, the nouveau riche, money was never in short supply.

As a super nouveau riche, owning a vineyard was a standard, much like the Rothschild family owning the Château Lafite Rothschild.

For Wang Zixuan, if he was going to buy, he would buy the best.

After lunch, the group moved to a meeting room behind the multifunction hall where the press conference was being held.

At 2 PM, Wang Zixuan and the five executives of Wangzi Technology arrived at the press conference.

The multifunction hall was already packed with journalists.

Amidst a flurry of flashbulbs, Wang Zixuan and Lin Wenwu took their seats on the stage.

Today, besides the media, Wang Zixuan had invited no guests.

After the host's opening remarks, Wang Zixuan was invited to speak.

Wang Zixuan stood up, walked to the center of the stage, and smiled, saying, "Today is an ordinary day, with no auspicious clouds or unusual phenomena. However, I believe that in a few years, everyone will say that this was a day of special significance, and those present will feel honored to have witnessed the birth of a great company. Now, I announce the official establishment of Wangzi Technology."

Petals rained down from the LED screen behind him.

The audience clapped.

Although Wang Zixuan's words were somewhat boastful, wasn't he the miracle child?

Wang Zixuan nodded to the journalists below and returned to his seat.

His speeches were always so任性 (impulsive).

So short.

The host said, "A new company has been born. Under the leadership of Chairman Wang Zixuan, it will surely become the most influential company in the world. Next, please welcome President Lin Wenwu of Wangzi Technology to speak."

Lin Wenwu was much more "proper" than Wang Zixuan. He walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the journalists, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is an exciting day, the day Wangzi Technology is established. I believe Wangzi Technology will become a great company.

The reason I left Google to join Wangzi Technology is because Mr. Wang Zixuan painted a vision that I couldn't refuse, to build a technology company of our own.

Mr. Wang Zixuan believes that the future will be an era of mobile intelligence, as Dr. Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, the leader in mobile chip technology, said at the 43rd International Consumer Electronics Show in January, 'One day, all consumer electronics will essentially become phones.'

In the past, phones were for calls and texts, and computers were for software and the internet. Now, the powerful application experience of smartphones can provide the best of both worlds.

Mr. Wang Zixuan boldly predicts that the PC era is coming to an end, and the mobile internet era, led by smartphones, is approaching.

Therefore, Mr. Wang Zixuan has invested heavily to establish Wangzi Technology, preparing to make a big impact in the mobile internet era.

There is a rule in the information technology revolution: if a new thing can attract huge capital from industry giants in a short time and trigger a wave of technological innovation, then it has the potential to become a groundbreaking achievement.

I believe that the mobile internet era predicted by Mr. Wang Zixuan will soon arrive, and Wangzi Technology will become a leader in the new era. Thank you."

"Clap, clap, clap"

Amidst a round of applause, Lin Wenwu returned to his seat.

The host said, "Mr. Wang Zixuan has always been honest with the media. When preparing for the press conference, Mr. Wang Zixuan decided not to invite guests, to speak less, and to allow more questions from the media."

"Clap, clap, clap"

The hall immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

If it were anyone else, people might have suspected that they couldn't invite any heavyweight guests. But with Wang Zixuan, everyone knew it was true.

With Wang Zixuan's current influence, if he put out the word, there would be no shortage of people willing to support him.

"Next, we will enter the Q&A session. If you have questions, please raise your hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the journalists raised their hands.

The host randomly selected a journalist.

"Mr. Wang Zixuan, how much do you plan to invest in Wangzi Technology?"

Wang Zixuan took a microphone and smiled, "There is no upper limit. The initial investment is one hundred billion Chinese yuan."

This number immediately caused a gasp from the audience.

Truly the prodigal son who had been the world's richest person for a day!

The initial investment was more than the market value of many companies that had been developing for years.

The host selected another journalist.

This journalist asked a sharp question.

"Smartphones involve many patents, most of which are held by foreign companies. How does Wangzi Technology plan to break through their patent monopoly? Will Wangzi Technology ignore these patents?"

Wang Zixuan passed the microphone to Lin Wenwu.

Lin Wenwu said, "Mr. Wang Zixuan's investment of one hundred billion is not to create a knockoff company. As a technology company, we must respect intellectual property. Wangzi Technology has gathered many excellent engineers, and we will develop our own technology. For patents we cannot avoid, we will acquire them if possible, and if not, we will pay the patent fees. This is why Mr. Wang Zixuan has invested so heavily in Wangzi Technology. Wangzi Technology is a company that respects intellectual property. Thank you."

The host selected another journalist.

"Many companies, both domestic and foreign, have already launched smartphones. As a newcomer in the industry, how will Wangzi Technology compete with them?"

Lin Wenwu said, "Although we are a newcomer, we will win the market with the greatest sincerity. At this stage, Wangzi Technology's focus is on accumulating technology, not profit. Our products will be launched with the best performance and the lowest price. All components will be transparent, so everyone can see if we are using the best components and whether we are making a profit. To reduce costs, we will not build a sales channel and will sell entirely through the internet."

Lin Wenwu's words again caused a stir among the journalists.

Another move by the prodigal son!
