Chapter 1181: Chapter 574: What’s Foreign, Will Always Be Foreign!_3

The meeting began with the presentation part, which had little real substance, so Zhou Jun quietly chatted with Zhao Yi and asked, "Academician Zhao, what’s the situation with Star Billion? Can you talk about it?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "I just want to transfer assets from overseas back to our country. As for foreign countries? I always feel they’re not secure."

"Why did you think of investing in the manufacturing industry?" Zhou Jun continued to inquire.

Zhao Yi replied, "I just feel that there is future development in the manufacturing industry, and our country most needs to develop high-end manufacturing and advanced materials."

"Academician Zhao really has the nation’s interest at heart!"

Zhou Jun said with emotion, not sure if he spoke from the heart. He realized that Zhao Yi seemed not interested in discussing this topic further, so he switched the subject, "Academician Zhao, how do you view the future of the internet industry? For instance, our company’s business."

Zhao Yi said, "I am a scientific worker and not very knowledgeable about the internet technology industry. But if you want to talk about technology research, I can give you a direction."

"What direction?" Zhou Jun’s eyes lit up, his interest instantly piqued. His enterprise was one of the top in the country, and he was among the foremost tycoons, but when discussing the major trends in domestic technological development, he was no match for Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had access to development policies and was even a key figure in deciding those policies.

On this matter, the two were not on the same level.

Zhao Yi whispered, "Research and development in internet and computer technology need to go deeper, the deeper the better. You know about Yutu, right? The robotics operating system."

"We lack fundamental technology domestically, not just in systems but also in building frameworks and protocols, and more. Investing in these fields to innovate or grasp unique technologies can at the very least double the returns on research investments."

After hearing this, Zhou Jun asked with some confusion, "But with related technologies already having international standards, to start over..."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Foreign is always foreign!" He then closed the topic.

Zhou Jun pondered but still couldn’t quite understand.

Soon enough.

The meeting moved on to the main agenda.

The governing officials discussed some development and policy issues, then invited representatives to speak.

Several representatives gave their speeches, focused mostly on future development directions, emphasizing the need to increase scientific research and investment, as well as addressing some security issues of development.

The next to take the stage was Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi had not come to the meeting just to listen; he had been invited as the head of a conglomerate. In reality, everyone knew his most important role was as the pillar of the domestic scientific community, and his speech was bound to be related to scientific research.

While other representatives spoke, most people only ’pretended’ to listen carefully, as the content was rather lackluster; some were even dozing off.

Now everyone perked up.

As Zhao Yi stood to speak, all eyes in the venue turned to him, and many couldn’t help but exclaim—

"So young!"

"Who would have thought that this young man could have become one of the most influential scientists internationally, a cornerstone of domestic science, and a leading figure in the advancement of human technology..."

"And at the same time, he started from scratch to become one of the top tycoons?"

Inside the venue.

Those who considered themselves leaders in technological innovation and business elites could only smile bitterly to themselves.
