Chapter 124 Daxia No. and the World No.
Facing Academician Yang Ming's words of approval, Yi Hua, Vice President of Huada Gene, shook his head slightly and said:

“I don’t think it’s necessary to sell off the company’s shares just for artificial intelligence technology. We at Huada Gene are already number one in the genetic field in Daxia.

Even without Xingtu Technology's artificial intelligence technology, we are still the number one in Daxia's genetic field. There is no need to sell the company just for artificial intelligence technology."

At this point, Yi Hua continued:

"Don't forget that Xingtu Technology wants to have a controlling stake, which I absolutely cannot accept because a controlling stake requires at least 51% of the shares."

After hearing Yi Hua's words, most of the senior executives who hold shares in the company nodded slightly, indicating that they did not want Xingtu Technology to hold 51% of the shares.

After all, if Xingtu Technology holds more shares, it means they will hold fewer shares and earn less. Who would want to accept such a thing?

Faced with the chorus of opposition at the scene, Academician Yang Ming's brows were deeply furrowed.

Because compared to how much money he can make, he actually cares more about research and development. After all, for a scientific researcher, when the money reaches a certain level, more money is just an increase in numbers.

Therefore, he had no objection to Xingtu Technology's intention to acquire a controlling stake in Huada Gene. Instead, he was very supportive.

After all, he really wants to obtain the right to use the artificial intelligence Jarvis to assist his scientific research and development, and ultimately produce more scientific research results, obtain more scientific research honors, and benefit Daxia and mankind.

Xingtu Technology's artificial intelligence Jarvis has demonstrated amazing scientific research assistance effects through the Xiaojiang drone and the second-generation deep sleep assistance device.

So the more Academician Yang Ming thought about it, the more he wanted to have the artificial intelligence Jarvis. After all, genes are too complicated.

What is the function of each gene fragment? What is its function is still very mysterious to humans.

At this point, let alone the genes of other organisms, even the genes of human beings themselves are not understood.

The main reason for this is that genes are too complex, and the human brain always seems powerless when faced with huge and complex gene sequence data.

Thanks to the rapid development of the supercomputer field, otherwise every step forward in genetic technology research and development would be dozens of times more difficult than it is now.

Today's artificial intelligence Jarvis is undoubtedly an important and advantageous tool that is comparable to supercomputers.

If Huada Gene can obtain the authorization to use the artificial intelligence Jarvis, then from now on Huada Gene may not only be the number one in Daxia, but the number one in the world.

Although both are ranked first, their social status and dividend income are naturally different. Therefore, considering the interests and reputation, Yang Ming very much welcomes Xingtu Technology to invest in it.

So Academician Yang Ming thought for a while and said:

"Yihua, we can't just focus on the scene in front of us, we should also set our sights on the world. What does it matter if we are the first in Daxia? If we want to be the best in the world!"

After finishing his speech, Academician Yang Ming said excitedly in front of everyone's stunned faces:

“Although letting Xingtu Technology take control will force us to reduce the proportion of shares we hold, as long as we become the world’s number one, the value of the shares we hold will be several times or even dozens of times greater than it is now!
I won’t say anything else, if we have the license to use artificial intelligence Jarvis, our research and development speed will be faster than others.

A little faster here, a little faster there, and eventually the cumulative result is that we will be far ahead of the domestic and foreign markets. By then, the value of our shares and even the number of dividends will naturally be much greater than they are now."

Academician Yang Ming thought for a moment and felt that his words might not be convincing enough, so he continued passionately:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached a critical juncture in the field of genetic research and development. Thanks to the significant progress in supercomputer technology and new genetic sequencing equipment, it used to cost $38 billion to sequence the entire genome of a human being.

But now our total gene sequencing cost is only 1000 to 2000 summer yuan, even including the profit it is only between 2000 and 5000 summer yuan.

The significant reduction in the cost of gene sequencing seems to be a good thing, but it is actually a bad thing because it means that the research and development threshold in the field of genetic research and development has been lowered!

Things that were originally only available to large companies can now be participated in by medium and small companies. Our R&D competition pressure has increased a lot.

I can guarantee that with our many years of accumulation, HuaDa Gene will definitely be able to secure a top three position in the genetic field.

But there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and the field of genetic research and development is a virgin land, with new discoveries and major breakthroughs every month.

Even if we can secure a top three spot with our years of accumulation, this position could be second or third.

Can you accept this result? So I think we should agree to the acquisition of Xingtu Technology.

Anyway, I think that with the help of artificial intelligence Jarvis to assist in research and development, we have a great chance of becoming the world's number one in the field of genetics.

After all, core technology is the primary factor that determines a company’s strength and position.”

After hearing Academician Yang Ming's impassioned speech, the senior executives of the companies who agreed with him at the scene could not help but hesitate.

Because what Academician Yang Ming said does make sense.

If they can really become the world's number one in the genetic field, then even if the shares they hold are reduced, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the actual value could reach several times or even dozens of times the current value.

However, facing the nodding of people on the scene, Vice President Yi Hua, who did not want to dilute his company's shares, suddenly became a little anxious.

Although what Academician Yang Ming said does make sense, who knows whether artificial intelligence Jarvis can really play such a big role.

What if the artificial intelligence Jarvis cannot achieve the amazing effect that Academician Yang Ming said, then Yi Hua would lose all his money.

Therefore, Yi Hua, who did not want to dilute his shares or take a huge risk to gamble, frowned and said:
“Everyone, don’t forget that when Xingtu Technology acquired 51% of Xiaojiang Drone’s shares last time, it only paid 13 billion Xia Yuan.

The remaining shares worth 300 billion were replaced by the authorization to use the artificial intelligence Jarvis.

In this case, are you willing to accept that the licensing fee for the use of artificial intelligence Jarvis is worth 300 billion?"

After hearing Yi Hua's words, the scene fell into silence, and then everyone shook their heads slightly, thinking that the license to use the artificial intelligence Jarvis was not worth 300 billion Xia yuan.

"Ugh."

Academician Yang Ming looked at the actions and expressions of the senior executives present and knew that whatever he said next would be of no use.

It seems that Huada Gene will never have the chance to develop artificial intelligence Jarvis, which is really a depressing thing.

However, President Wang Jian, who had been sitting there waiting for everyone to express their opinions, finally spoke, and his words stunned everyone present.
