Curing AIDS was only the beginning of Xing Hai Technologies' entry into the medical field.
In the following year or two, Xing Hai Technologies successively conquered terminal diseases such as motor neuron disease (Lou Gehrig's disease), cancer, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, and so on.
Then there was AIDS.
Xing Hai Technologies conquered all of the "five most difficult diseases" identified by the World Health Organization.
Therefore, Xing Hai Hospitals under Xing Hai Technologies opened ten hospitals around the world, specializing in the treatment of terminal patients.
But … there were very few patients who could afford to enter Xing Hai Hospitals for treatment. Only a few hundred thousand people entered every year.
Because the fees were too expensive!
The 300,000 needed to treat AIDS was still considered low.
For other terminal diseases, the fees were easily 500,000, 1 million, 5 million, or even higher … Only the rich could afford it.
Of course, Xing Hai Technologies did not only serve the rich. It had to give other hospitals a way out! The medical industry was a profiteering industry. Xing Hai Technologies had eliminated all terminal diseases and lost a large piece of the pie. It would be strange if they did not go crazy to find trouble with Xing Hai Technologies.
If it were not for the huge size and influence of Xing Hai Technologies, some medical groups would have probably done something behind the scenes.
Chen Jin could only leave them a mouthful of soup by raising the fees to ease the conflict.
In addition, after the establishment of Xing Hai Hospitals under Xing Hai Technologies, all employees and their family members working in Xing Hai Technologies could enter Xing Hai Hospitals for treatment for free once they suffered a serious illness … This was a major benefit. It greatly increased the loyalty of more than 200,000 employees to Xing Hai Technologies. The job-hopping rate was also greatly reduced to almost zero.
Employees of other companies were envious. Countless talents even racked their brains to enter Xing Hai Technologies.
"The company with the best treatment in the world" — this was everyone's evaluation of Xing Hai Technologies.
However, the main focus of Xing Hai Technologies in the past two or three years was still on one thing.
Desert management!
Xing Hai Technologies was very obsessed with this cause.
In a short period of more than three years, they invested nearly a trillion dollars into the 50,000 square kilometer desert … They invested a large amount of profits into it.
They applied all the top desert transformation technology … almost without considering the cost factor.
As the saying went, "Strength creates miracles!"
With such crazy investment, Xing Hai Technologies achieved what other desert management agencies needed 30 years to achieve in three years.
Green.
Large patches of green appeared in the northeastern part of the Taklamakan Desert, which was also known as the Sea of Death.
Like a miracle, a large area of grassland and rows of trees appeared in this desert that hadn't grown any plants for thousands of years. It was as if a carpet had been laid on it, and it was immediately overflowing with greenery.
The comparison pictures taken by the satellite made the netizens even more surprised. Was this piece of land under some kind of magic?
Green.
Although it was still far from the completion of the transformation, in just over three years, Xing Hai Technologies had basically turned 50,000 square kilometers of desert green.
This gave all environmentalists great confidence. With the efficiency and technology of Xing Hai Technologies, the elimination of the world's deserts was just around the corner!
But it also made other domestic investment institutions involved in desert management envious and jealous.
They even launched denunciations and complaints against Xing Hai Technologies.
"Unfair, this is unfair!"
"Xing Hai Technologies, you used millions of robots to transform the desert, but we only hired manual labor. The robots don't need to eat, drink, poop, and sleep. They don't need to pay wages, but hiring human labor costs money in all aspects. The cost difference is at least three times.
Another thing is the electricity bill. Xing Hai Technologies has its own solar and wind power stations. It solves the electricity problem on its own. We can only buy 35 cents per watt of electricity (the domestic artificial sun has been put into use, but the current power generation only accounts for 15%). The cost of electricity is much lower.
Finally, our water is pumped from the central provinces or from Tibet. Not only is the supply unstable, but the cost of pipeline construction is also very high. Although we don't have to pay for water, the comprehensive cost of pumping water is more than 200 times that of Xing Hai Technologies!
In summary, Xing Hai Technologies needs 15 million to transform 1 square kilometer of desert (the initial cost is very high). We need to invest at least 50 million.
Compared with Xing Hai Technologies, we are not competitive at all!
So this is very unfair!
Xing Hai Technologies must sell some robots and part of the fresh water from Lake Baikal to us!
Only then will we be on the same starting point for the competition!
Otherwise, we will never be a match for Xing Hai Technologies. "
Many capital institutions were angry and envious. The advantages that Xing Hai Technologies had were too great. How could they compete with Xing Hai Technologies in terms of desert transformation?
Moreover, Xing Hai Technologies did not share the robots that could replace humans and the fresh water from Lake Baikal. They did not sell them at all. This was too selfish!
Xing Hai Technologies had its own explanation for this.
"The Worker 1 robot is a product developed by Xing Hai Technologies that cannot be released to the mass market for the time being. At present, people have certain fears and doubts about 'humanoid robots.' There is a certain risk of improper use. Therefore, it must be well supervised and undergo long-term internal testing. It is not convenient to sell it to other companies. In fact, Xing Hai Technologies also wants to make money from this, but what if there is a problem?"
They could only use it and perfect it at the same time.
"Regarding the fresh water from Lake Baikal, the diameter of the pipeline we laid is 3.5 meters. It can pump up to 15 billion tons of water per year, which is only enough for our own use. If you want to use it, then go talk to the Russians and lay another pipeline. Xing Hai Technologies can help you lay the pipeline for only 30 billion per pipe."
However, these two explanations by Xing Hai Technologies were completely unacceptable to many capital institutions!
Instead, they became even more angry and dissatisfied.
"I've never seen such a shameless person!"
"They secretly use the robots and don't even want to sell the water. They even want us to talk to the Russians. It would be strange if the Russians don't sell it for 10 dollars per ton!"
"Xing Hai Technologies, can you not be so selfish? Everyone is contributing to the cause of environmental protection. Why not help us so that the desert can be managed faster? "
"Hypocrite! Very hypocritical. I bet that Xing Hai Technologies must have selfish motives. They are pretending to protect the environment. Their real intention is to seize profits. They even prevent others from engaging in real environmental protection for their own selfishness. "
"Liar, Xing Hai Technologies is a hypocritical liar!"
In public opinion, some people even directly exposed the true face of Xing Hai Technologies, exposing the unknown selfishness and purpose of Xing Hai Technologies.
This caused an uproar and caused Xing Hai Technologies to be in a passive position.
…
Xing Hai Building.
Ling Jun Dong frowned and said, "President Chen, those investment institutions are now attacking us very fiercely. They touch our porcelain every day and tarnish the reputation of Xing Hai Technologies. Should we send a lawyer's letter to sue them for slander?"
"Three years. Only the input and not the output. They have been throwing money into the desert for three years. It would be strange if those investors who only want to make quick money can stay calm."
Chen Jin shook his head. "It seems that there is a certain problem with their capital chain. They can't continue playing this money-burning game anymore.
It's almost time to make a move. Since they are pitiful, let's acquire them. "
"Xing Hai Technologies is taking over their business. They shouldn't have anything to say, right?"
Chen Jin spread his hands. He had long seen through the morality of capital institutions. Not to mention a long-term investment of 20 years, three or five years was their limit! They could not achieve anything big.
"Acquisition?"
Ling Jun Dong's eyes lit up. It turned out that the boss had already expected this.
For the desert in the northwest, capital institutions were just passers-by. Only Xing Hai Technologies would be the ultimate master.
