Teng Hualong's mind was in turmoil.
He was shocked.
An entire warehouse filled with inventions similar to the Sky Curtain? Each capable of astounding the world?
If what Liu Di said was true, the value of just that warehouse would be incalculable!
In an instant, Teng Hualong felt a pang of regret.
Is my 10% stake enough?
15%?
Would that be better?
Teng Hualong muttered, "So, Mr. Liu..."
But Liu Di raised his hand to stop him, smiling lightly. "As for the future you mentioned, it's not far away."
"It could happen at any moment, if I wish it."
As he spoke, Liu Di revealed a black wristwatch on his arm.
He pressed a button gently.
A dazzling light flashed.
A laser beam shot out from the watch face, scanning rapidly.
In an instant, a small floating screen appeared above the watch!
Teng Hualong was dumbfounded!
He pointed at the screen, then at the giant curtain in the sky. "This... holographic projection, just like the giant curtain. You actually managed to fit it into a watch!"
"Haha, a watch?"
"You underestimate it!"
Liu Di said, lightly swiping the floating screen.
What appeared was a phone interface!
Calmly, Liu Di opened the Gemini app and navigated to a live concert stream.
He casually gave the performance a thumbs up.
Teng Hualong's jaw dropped!
This...
This is a phone!
A phone worn on the wrist, with a floating interface!
What kind of black technology is this???
Once this thing hits the market, how would any other phone manufacturers survive?
Liu Di tilted his head towards the stunned Teng Hualong and smiled, "Are you wondering what would happen if this device were released?"
Teng Hualong nodded numbly.
Liu Di shook his head with a smile.
"Let me tell you!"
"It would drive everyone crazy!"
"Even the latest phones would instantly become relics of the past!"
"It would become a fashion statement. No one would go without it!"
"Of course, no matter how dazzling it is, people would still need to use its network features."
"So, I could wait until the Magic Twins' functions are rich and all-encompassing."
"Then make Gemini the default pre-installed system."
"And then..."
Liu Di's gaze glimmered as he looked at Teng Hualong.
Teng Hualong, still dazed, asked, "And then what?"
Liu Di smiled confidently, "And then, I'll disable all other companies' apps!"
Boom!
A thunderclap sounded in Teng Hualong's mind!
He suddenly felt the world spinning.
Damn.
You're planning to wipe out everyone!
No matter how popular another app is, no matter how many users it has.
It's useless!
There's no resistance!
What Tencent, what Alibaba...
Empires built over decades, toppled overnight!
No contest!
Teng Hualong didn't know how to respond.
This kind of cataclysmic information.
It stripped him of his ability to think.
How could there be a monster like Liu Di in this world?
Is this a plan to reshape the world order?
Tencent had fought against him before.
What a joke, what nonsense!
This is not the same playing field, not even the same dimension!
15% of Tencent's shares?
Even if it were 100%, so what?
In Liu Di's eyes, it's worth nothing!
"Haha."
Teng Hualong laughed in despair. "So should I start packing up to retire? After all, all resistance is futile."
Liu Di retracted his watch, smiling with his hands behind his back. "No need to be in such a rush, Mr. Teng."
Teng Hualong sighed helplessly. "Why not? Does this watch need some time for production? Does that make any difference?"
"Of course not."
Liu Di looked into the distance, speaking calmly. "It's because people aren't ready to accept all of this."
"This technological revolution in my mind is a hundred times more massive than you can imagine!"
"If I push forward aggressively, it could disrupt society, even throw it into chaos."
Liu Di gave Teng Hualong a meaningful glance. "For example, what would happen to your tens of thousands of employees at Tencent? What about the millions who rely on Tencent's industrial chain for their livelihood?"
"Not just them—what about other internet companies and tech production firms?"
"Should they all be plunged into desperation in an instant?"
"If billions of companies go bankrupt, tens of billions of people lose their jobs."
"That would be a disaster!"
"Under a fallen nest, no egg is left unbroken. Even if Gemini becomes overwhelmingly powerful, what's the point?"
"That certainly wouldn't be a wise choice!"
Liu Di's words suddenly enlightened Teng Hualong!
Yes!
This isn't as simple as it appears!
It could even affect the global economic system.
Once released.
The very survival of nearly half the population could be threatened!
No jobs, no income.
What will they eat? What will they drink?
Will they resort to theft and robbery?
Chaos would be inevitable!
Liu Di gently patted Teng Hualong on the shoulder. "So, I won't act recklessly."
"Every enterprise has its value."
"It serves a group of people, supports a group of people, drives progress, and bears certain responsibilities!"
"For example, Gemini's user base has grown to over 1 billion."
"Every field could be explored!"
"But I haven't touched your financial services at Tencent, because they're tied to countless people's lives."
"And because your payment services are successful enough, serving so many users."
"I don't want to disrupt that!"
"And for your gaming business, it has brought joy to countless people."
"It's a great creation that should be remembered forever!"
"Tencent, and you, Teng Hualong, have benefited millions of people and created countless miracles."
"You shouldn't meet a ruinous end!"
After Liu Di finished speaking, Teng Hualong felt an inexplicable sense of emotion!
He had never imagined that Liu Di would speak in recognition of Tencent.
Nor had he imagined that his own obsession was so thoroughly understood by his competitor!
Of course.
What surprised him most was Liu Di's grand vision!
This is someone who truly embraces everything and sees through everything!
An emperor in demeanor!
Strong in methods, but not tyrannical!
Every action is taken from a higher perspective.
A height that demands awe!
Teng Hualong, who had once thought of himself as an emperor, now felt incredibly small!
Realizing this, Teng Hualong felt a chill down his spine!
He trembled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your magnanimity."
"No need to thank me."
Liu Di grinned mischievously. "After all, you're the weaker one, and a true strongman always respects the freedom of the weak!"
Uh...
I'm the weaker one...
Teng Hualong pressed his lips together, wanting to say something but stopping.
Oh well!
He's not wrong!
Compared to you, I am weak!
"So, Mr. Teng."
"It's time for your performance."
Liu Di said with a smile.
Teng Hualong was puzzled, "What?"
Liu Di waved his hand grandly. "Log into your Gemini account and announce to the world that Tencent submits to Gemini!"
