Chapter 216: 2 Trillion!
And those media in the United States soon discovered that the scientists who had previously dismissed Jiang Cheng no longer dared to speak.
More scientists began to stand up to support Jiang Cheng.
"Although I am very reluctant to admit it, Mr. Jiang Cheng's paper does indeed redefine intelligence!"
"The Father of Modern Intelligence, Jiang Cheng! This title is well-deserved! The value of this article is immeasurable!"
"Incredible, I never thought anyone had researched to this extent and selflessly published it!"
"Jiang Cheng probably knows very well how much skepticism this paper would attract if published—yet, Jiang Cheng just published it directly, which shows he is a person of high moral character!"
"Those who previously negated, criticized, and condemned Jiang Cheng, at this moment, probably don't dare to speak!"
"The value of this paper is simply beyond estimation with money; it can precisely drive the change of an era! Mr. Jiang Cheng could selflessly publish such a paper—it's amazing. Our Harvard College hopes Mr. Jiang Cheng can be an honorary professor here and occasionally give a lecture."
Across the world, various critiques, disputes, and controversies have silently started to lean overwhelmingly towards Jiang Cheng—
In fact, this was within Jiang Cheng's expectations. After all, his paper was indeed correct, as long as those scientists weren't fools, they would sooner or later realize it! And most of those scientists were the cream of the crop, how could they fail to see it?
The editorial department of "Technology" magazine once again held a discussion about Jiang Cheng's paper.
However, this time the discussion was completely different from the one many days ago; now it was full of laudatory adjectives!
"Ah, that Mr. Jiang Cheng is really incredible, the Father of Modern Intelligence—there's absolutely no mistake in this title."
"Incredible, incredible, admiration to the extreme!"
"I remember not long ago, the professors and editors in the editorial department were swearing at Jiang Cheng's paper, thinking Jiang Cheng was utterly foolish to write such a nonsensical paper. I would really like to see their expressions now!"
"I would also love to see their expressions, haha!"
"Speaking of which, Luo De firmly supported Mr. Jiang Cheng at that time, truly remarkable!" one editor praised.
Luo De smiled awkwardly and said, "Not really... those professors and editors who resigned from the editorial department with righteous indignation, their expressions must be quite unpleasant now, including the editor-in-chief who also resigned. Seeing the prevailing trend, they understand that Jiang Cheng's paper was indeed correct.
This is not only correct but also a great paper that lays the foundation for the new definition of modern intelligence!
If he had allowed such a paper to be published successfully at that time, imagine how much praise would be received now—just thinking about it is thrilling.
However, his foolishness, along with that of those professors, turned into laughingstocks. When the incident is mentioned, it's no longer praised but ridiculed!
To be honest, the former editor-in-chief knew that it wasn't really about foolishness; after all, every era has its limitations in vision! Eyes were completely limited by knowledge! It's impossible to easily surpass these things! However, others don't see it that way.
"Alas!" The former editor-in-chief of the technology magazine sighed, a bit dejected but anyway, it's too late to regret now!
Jiang Cheng certainly knew what a big stir his paper caused, but he didn't care because it didn't mean much to him.
He continued his life as usual, researching, writing papers, developing his business, and expanding channels. Lastly, the spice of life was Su Qianqian and Guan Xiaofei, two beautiful sisters whose exquisite bodies Jiang Cheng greatly admired, like the most perfect works of art by God, neither excessive nor deficient by any measure.
These days, the development status of Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company was unbelievably good, excluding taxes, employee wages, nearly, and various channel expenses, promotional costs, and materials made, as well as some miscellaneous expenditures, it roughly earned about 2 trillion.
2 trillion RMB.
If this number were spoken out loud, it would probably scare many people to death... However, for Jiang Cheng, this number is not much.
In technology research and development, no amount of money is ever enough!
To develop this world to a level of civilization satisfactory to him, a mere 2 trillion is just a fraction.
Is 2 trillion a lot? Far too little!
Of course, this is only from Jiang Cheng's perspective—for everyone else in the world, it's probably an unimaginable number. Even for Zhang Manlin, it's the same.
For Jiang Cheng, who earned 2 trillion, it certainly won't be that simple to be satisfied. Over these days, the company has consistently been developing two fields besides Virtual Reality Device.
The first is the Transparent Phone. One can imagine the huge sensation it will cause once the Transparent Phone hits the market, probably not less than the impact of the Virtual Reality Device! After all, many people can't afford Virtual Reality Devices, while the Transparent Phone is different; many people can afford it!
The other field is the graphene industry, and these days, Jiang Cheng has acquired some domestic and foreign graphene factories, turning them into his own graphene factories. Over 90% of the world's graphene enterprises are now in Jiang Cheng's hands.
After witnessing Jiang Cheng's ability to use graphene to create a Transparent Phone, many companies began to contact Jiang Cheng, seeking cooperation for further development.
For example, in some basic industrial equipment, some very key instruments, precious complex components costing hundreds of thousands (dbea), if they could use graphene materials, it would greatly increase efficiency and also significantly extend usage life.
Some precious components and equipment, bought from abroad alone, cost over a hundred thousand, and their total service life is only a few hours, making the expenses significant. At this time, graphene materials can play an excellent role.
Thanks to these cooperations, these days, Jiang Cheng's graphene factories have already earned him several billion.
Of course, unlike Jiang Cheng's Virtual Reality Devices, these numbers may seem a bit small, but it doesn't matter. This is just the beginning!
Business worth several billion is just the beginning; in the future, global industrial manufacturing will have an inseparable relationship with graphene. At that time, this market will not be lower than that of Virtual Reality Devices! The profits obtained will also start from trillions.
For now, it's just a preliminary trial.
