Chapter 1336: Chapter 434: I’d Dare Fight Even If the King of Heaven Came!
Power, money, or controllable social resources
The entanglement between the two has existed since the birth of human society and continues to this day.
As the President of New America, Miles stands at the pinnacle of power under the government-corporate balanced power structure secured by Elizabeth, no doubt the summit of power in the entire United States, but it is far from enough, at least not enough for Miles to realize her MAGA.
In the unification war, she suffered great losses because of this, leading to a failure to accomplish her goals.
Otherwise, how could a non-American corporation like Huang Ban possibly go toe-to-toe with Military Science, a local powerhouse in North America, after having crossed the Pacific Ocean?
The Southern and Northern Song won battles year after year, but never regained the Sixteen Prefectures. Is it really because Yue Fei couldn’t fight?
The conflict between both sides was already planted at that time.
It was just that Lin Miao’s intervention put this conflict squarely on the table, turning it into a political issue that Miles had to face.
And to prevent Miles from choosing other ways to avoid or suppress the issue, Lin Miao decided to make a significant investment in her.
"Boss, I still don’t quite understand why you transferred such important technology to Miles..."
Song Zhaomei’s figure appeared before Lin Miao, though her true self was still next to Miles. The one in front of Lin Miao was merely a data projection.
As Lin Miao’s highest insider in the New United States Government, Song Zhaomei was bewildered by what Lin Miao was doing in the office.
"I remember they said this is a world-changing invention, capable of providing everyone with endless energy, but Miles... she’s just an ambitious politician. Even if this thing falls into her hands, ordinary people will hardly get any benefit."
Nuclear fusion reactor design drawings and related papers.
"Because the technical data isn’t important. If I wanted, I could copy these data billions of times tomorrow for everyone in the world to know. But do you think an ordinary person getting this technical information can do anything besides sell it?"
Lin Miao returned to the car, communicating with Song Zhaomei through consciousness.
"Kasper and I estimated that just one nuclear reactor would need hundreds of thousands of people involved from construction to operation, involving hundreds and thousands of industries. Various large castings require profound industrial foundation. Even with Huang Ban and Ye Corporation, implementing the first one will take several years without exception, and it easily attracts attention. But if New America launches a project of its own, stirs major news, we can secretly skim the profits from the side and greatly reduce the completion time."
"Miles probably thinks she is now destined, doesn’t she?"
"Isn’t that right? She was overjoyed after you left."
Song Zhaomei crossed her legs, mimicking Miles’ tone of speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that New America has found its future. Under my leadership, the federation will stand at the peak of the world again, Space, Moon, Mars... New America’s flag will mark every inch of land."
Song Zhaomei didn’t even have to think to know what Miles would say at the subsequent press conference.
Perhaps she found her own tone of speech too disgusting, she rolled her eyes.
"I just don’t get how finding a piece of technical data over fifty years old can make her so happy. If this technology was so powerful, why didn’t people at that time make use of it?"
A lot of technical data have clear timestamps, which further verifies the authenticity of the data. For hackers, confirming the age of the code based on data is the simplest technique.
No one would ever suspect that this technical data was delivered to Miles by Lin Miao.
"This is the way ZB operates with monopolies, Song Zhaomei."
Lin Miao acted leisurely, wearing the Super Dream Headband, using Song Zhaomei’s wireless port to enter Cyberspace.
The two returned to Square One, Lin Miao flicked his fingers, the data stream gathered in front of them, transformed at his whim into a three-dimensional image, a fishpond formed by countless little fish appeared.
"When the world government power collapsed, chaotic society spawned numerous market gaps, countless enterprises battled on the world market, the existence of a corporation could be fleeting."
Within the fishpond, the little fish bit and devoured each other, with survivors gradually growing larger.
"In the absence of quality gaps in products, market competition could only resort to price wars, whoever is cheaper gains consumer favor."
"Ultimately, the price of goods gets compressed indefinitely in competition, even profits get driven to zero. At this point, who has more funds stands to laugh last."
"In this process, numerous small and medium-sized enterprises will be squeezed out of existence until only a few large corporations survive on the market. At this point, further battle among them is cutthroat."
When only a few large fish remained in the pond, they instead let go of competition and coexisted harmoniously, occupying their territories without interference.
"This is evidently unsuitable for ZB, so they opted to retreat a step each, joining forces to form a monopoly in the market, raising product prices, further cutting costs, and lowering quality to earn excessive profits."
A golden little fish dropped into the pond following Lin Miao’s finger, the large fish immediately encircled it.
"If a new enterprise enters the market with technology capable of altering the landscape, they’ll present a contract you can’t refuse, either sign it, or die."
