Generally speaking, it is certainly impossible for the Ministry of Commerce to agree to such a merger.

Even the most liberal trade countries would not agree to allow foreign companies to borrow tens of billions of dollars in money from their banks and then use those dollars to acquire their own businesses.

If such a merger is successful, it will mean an outflow of a range of assets, including technology, talent, market share, etc., and the people of the country will not receive any benefits.

Not to mention that SubCom itself stands in a monopoly position in the industry, allowing such enterprises to be acquired by overseas companies, and the person who approves it must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

However, the current situation is clearly not the usual situation.

The acquisition of SubCom by BEA Telecom cannot be seen as a simple business, but as the result of a compromise after a political game.

If the acquisition fails, SubCom does not have the technology and ability to lay quantum optical cables, and the only way to go bankrupt awaits them in the end.

If the acquisition is successful, it will not only mean that East Asia Communications' optical fiber optic cable will be able to enter North America faster, but also mean that SubCom will hopefully enter the global submarine quantum optical cable project.

Even if East Asia Communications is unlikely to transfer the technology of quantum submarine fiber optic cables to them, they will be able to buy equipment from factories in China to do slightly inferior pipe-laying work......

Jinling Xingxing Technology Park.

Star Technology Headquarters Building.

After reading the report sent by the manager of the investment management department, Chen Yushan nodded with satisfaction, signed her name on it, and put it aside.

“…… I already know the basic situation, so let's follow this financing plan. ”

Star Technology holds 30% of the shares of East Asia Communications, and although it does not interfere in its specific operation, this kind of large-scale financing must be signed and approved by Star Technology.

Picking up the signed document from Table Mountain, the manager took two steps back, suddenly thought of something, and spoke.

"By the way, there's one more thing......"

Chen Yushan: "Say it." ”

The manager of the strategic investment department proposed: "...... Why don't we take this opportunity to borrow more dollars from JPMorgan Bank, now is a good opportunity to short US stocks, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit. ”

"It's too late, the previous bearish news has been fully released, and now the U.S. stock market is at the bottom of the relative value. And ......" Shaking her head, Chen Yushan paused for a moment and continued, "Now is not the best time to borrow dollars. ”

The manager subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Chan: "After this wave of financial turmoil, Manhattan is gradually losing its status as the world's financial center, and in order to stop the outflow of domestic assets, the Fed may release more dollars into the market by lowering reserves and interest rates. ”

"What do you mean...... Is the Fed likely to take an active devaluation strategy? ”

Chen Yushan nodded: "That's right, and it's a one-time, large-scale depreciation." ”

Although the Fed's control over the exchange rate is not as strong as that of the Central Bank of China, it can manipulate the exchange rate through indirect means, and it will be more secretive.

Through a one-time large-scale active depreciation, the outflow of foreign capital can be effectively stopped.

It's just that this kind of behavior is very risky, and even a bit of a drink to quench your thirst.

While the method of active depreciation can prevent capital from being set aside from the country in the short term, it will weaken the credibility and competitiveness of the national currency in the international market in the long run.

Especially in the case that the future economic situation is difficult to improve, it will lay hidden dangers for large-scale foreign capital flight.

After all, no one is stupid.

If the future expectations are bleak, no capital will be willing to stay......

Looking at the manager of the strategic investment department who still had something to say, Chen Yushan continued.

"Don't think too much, we are a technology company, not an investment bank, and it is enough to hold low-risk bonds with idle funds, and there is no need to wade into that muddy water."

“…… I know. ”

With the departure of the manager of the Strategic Investments department, the office has returned to quiet.

Chen Yushan turned the ballpoint pen in her hand and was about to continue today's unfinished work.

However, at this moment, she suddenly thought of the things that she had said on the phone call from the Pilot Development Zone in the morning, so she turned her attention to the mobile phone placed on the corner of the table.

After staring at the mobile phone on the table and pondering for a while, Chen Yushan suddenly muttered a few difficult words such as "hey" and "what are you doing" as if practicing speaking.

Eventually, thanks to her efforts, the voice sounded a little softer.

A faint smile appeared on her face, she picked up her phone and dialed a number, waited for the call to connect, and spoke.

"Hello? What are you doing? ”

At this moment, standing in the laboratory of the Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou, who was holding his mobile phone, replied casually while looking at the strings jumping on the computer screen in front of him.

“…… I'm doing a very interesting experiment, what's wrong? ”

Interesting experiment?

Although she was curious about what it was, since she was busy, she was too embarrassed to disturb him too much, so she said straight to the point.

"Xinghai No. 1 will be completed in a few days, and the Management Committee of the Pilot Development Zone will invite you to cut the ribbon, will you have time to go then?"

Ribbon?

After hearing this, Lu Zhou pondered for a while and spoke.

"It should ...... I'm free. ”

It's hard to say if he's free, but he's going to Shanghai recently.

It won't take much time anyway, so let's go to the ribbon cutting by the way.

Chen Yushan: "Okay, I'll help you arrange it." ”

"Well, I'm in trouble."

End of call.

Throwing the phone on the table, Chen Yushan let out a sigh of relief and fanned her face with her hand.

“…… Whoever turned the temperature of the air conditioner so high is really hot. ”

Muttering to herself, Chen Yushan took out the remote control from the drawer of her desk and lowered the temperature of the central air conditioner by two degrees.

Feeling the temperature in the office gradually cooling, she took a deep breath, then patted her cheek vigorously to return to her original state of work, and continued to work on the task at hand......

……

On the other side, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou turned his attention back to the strangely shaped device.

At this time, a string of text popped up on the screen of the mobile phone he held in his hand.

Xiao Ai: [Master! The program debugging is completely OK and ready to start. ()】

Lu Zhou nodded.

"Let's get started."

Xiao Ai: [Roger!] ()】

The moment the order was given, I saw that the signal light embedded in the surface of the strangely shaped device lit up one after another. Soon a white silver ring at the top lit up a pale blue arc of light in a slight tremor of tremors.

Then, as a vertical light bloomed upward, strings of solid-like particles of light appeared in the air, intertwined according to a specific law.

Under the combination of these light particles, a 3X3X3 Rubik's Cube was formed, and then it became a model of a Xiaguang, constantly switching its own form.

At this moment, even a layman who knows nothing about the principles of imaging will surely exclaim the name of this device.

Holographic projection!

And it's the naked-eye kind!

This thing is inspired by Lu Zhou's "wearable facial holographic projection system" obtained from the last lottery, and then developed a product based on some research results of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study in recent years.

In fact, to be honest, when he first came into contact with this thing, Lu Zhou thought it was a very powerful black technology, but after in-depth research, he found that it was actually just like that.

The specific principle is very simple, through high-frequency vibration, the water droplets with a diameter of 1~100nm are actively excited and thrown into the air, forming a sol state in the space with air as the dispersed substance. Then, according to the Tyndall effect, a beam of a specific wavelength is emitted from multiple angles, and the light scattering characteristics of the sol are used to produce a three-dimensional image.

At first, Lu Zhou thought it was an optical problem.

In fact, it is.

However, after digging deeper, he realized that it was actually a programming problem.

Once the emitted light, the diameter of the dispersed particles, and the concentration of the vapor sol have all met the required accuracy, the remaining challenge is how to program each ray of light to attack the sol region at a specific angle and intensity, forming the desired image.

This involves very complex programming problems.

Even with Xiao Ai's help, it took him a lot of time to complete.

About ten minutes have passed.

After switching 20 sets of preset images, the whole set of equipment successfully completed the test of all items. As a prototype in the lab, it has already performed to meet the expectations of a researcher.

All that's left is to keep debugging.

"Not bad."

Seeing that the light particles gradually dissipated, Lu Zhou nodded, but quickly shook it slightly.

"It's a pity."

"It's not perfect enough."

Due to the sensitivity of the device, the picture is somewhat distorted when switching, especially for some complex holographic structures, which are difficult to perform finely.

At least there is still a big gap with the holographic projection technology he imagined.

Maybe the situation might be better when the technology matures a little bit.

As for interactive holographic technology......

It may have to wait a while.

Xiao Ai: [But Xiao Ai thinks it's already very good.] (； ′⌒`)】

Lu Zhou: "Maybe...... What is it? ”

The equipment for completing the experiment was not turned off, and the light particles floating on the disc drew a realistic ...... about the height of an adult's forearm in the air

Beautiful girl figure model?

Floating in the mist, there is really a feeling of being in a hazy fairyland.

It's just that Lu Zhou still doesn't understand too much, what is this guy doing.

As if to see through his confusion, the elf-like virtual horn mischievously spun around in the air, facing him as a translucent dialog appeared next to his hair.

[According to the face pinching data of 320,000 players in the Jialan Empire, the most popular face and body shape ratio parameters are analyzed through fuzzy calculation methods.] There is no doubt that if it is in a drama, this must be the most popular super popular character! ()】

Because of the gameplay, the character played by the player in Jialan Empire can be customized in skin tone. After all, there is such a thing as blue skin, when you look at the exotic style, it's okay, and you also bleached blue, and it will still reduce the sense of substitution.

In addition, there are some optimizations in some details.

In short, the characters played by the players are like beautiful 3D characters, which are not out of place with the game style, but also have aesthetic habits.

It's just that......

Lu Zhou settled down and asked.

“…… So? ”

Xiao Ai: [That's me!] (＞ω＜*)】

Lu Zhou: "......"

This guy ......

I guess my head is broken.
