Chapter 296: First Encounter with a Short Selling Giant_2
Heights are different, so perspectives are naturally different.
Take Wall Street, for example, serving as a financing tool for all listed companies, also using these funds to better develop future technology.
Whether it's chips or AI, or artificial intelligence.
The degree of advancement here is not just a little.
New York has a certain siphon effect on top global talents.
Plainly put, whether they are international students or graduates from top domestic universities, they all want to work here.
Not to mention others, just Tsinghua alone has over twenty thousand graduates here.
And Tsinghua graduates only about three thousand a year.
Think about it, and you'll know how terrifying this data is.
Major companies here place great emphasis on technology research and development, which has resulted in tech-sector companies in America making up half of the top hundred companies in the world.
This simple data shows the true gap.
It's no exaggeration to say that while domestic businesses are still engrossed in various business models for profit-making and marketing, companies here have always been focused on future technologies.
Once breakthrough technologies are achieved, any business model or marketing tactics become insignificant.
Just like paper, easily punctured.
Take Musk from Tesla, new energy vehicles are just one of his entrepreneurial projects.
He also has projects such as neural lace, Mars colonization, and constructing a global low-orbit satellite internet service.
Planning to launch more than 6000 satellites into orbit through the Starlink plan, to offer space-based network services to global users.
Frankly, these projects have not even been heard of domestically, let alone attempted.
Domestic tycoons of his level, or those top internet moguls, are still grabbing the business of vegetable vendors.
This is the difference.
Pingsheng heard about many secret developmental projects of big companies from Old Duan, some of which were startling.
He deeply felt the gap.
It must be said that some tech companies are truly committed to pushing the great development of humanity.
The era of future global competition will absolutely not be about how much real estate costs per square meter; the key is real technology.
His investment of over sixty billion in new energy was definitely correct.
This shows that the future of new energy vehicles is promising.
Although the current market share of new energy vehicles in the domestic auto market is still under 3%.
With the further maturation of new energy technologies, this share will definitely grow increasingly larger.
...
Pingsheng didn't return to his newly purchased home until late evening.
A top-tier duplex apartment of over seven thousand square feet, boasting three large living rooms and seven bedrooms, and all sorts of detailed features are maxed out.
Especially the living room, which faces Central Park.
Except for Zhang Wanyi, the others went to a hotel first.
She stayed to make breakfast and handle some urgent official tasks.
Today, he cashed out three billion from Antler Coffee, and the income was also three billion.
This was his initial capital on Wall Street; he had to try his luck.
"Ding, congratulations host, today's income is 435 million US dollars, would you like to enable random multiplication?"
"Enable."
Pingsheng, sitting in the living room, silently muttered.
The Golden Dice appeared again, shaking incessantly.
Eventually, it stopped on four points.
"Congratulations, host, you have received a fourfold random boost."
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.
"Ding, your Citibank account has received 1.74 billion US dollars, balance is 2.175 billion US dollars."
This luck was really not bad; after coming to America, the bank card was switched to Citibank.
The settlement currency naturally became the US Dollar.
The night lights of Manhattan are dazzling; if compared to the infrastructure of Magic City.
Manhattan is not as good as that place, but when comparing economic and global influence, the gap is far too wide.
If one word was to describe the gap between the two, it's like someone who has never been to a big city longing for Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou-Shenzhen.
Manhattan is just like that, a city gathering the world's elites, the number one global city.

Most notably, you don't have to work overtime here, thanks to the unions which are strict in ensuring workers' rights.
"Chen, a few of my classmates are studying here as well," Zhang Wanyi said.
Wanyi, having showered and dried her damp hair.
In her heart, Pingsheng was not just a boss but also a warm elder.
"That's good, if you have their contacts you can try to get in touch, I can't, I didn't have anyone who went abroad after middle school."
"That's because conditions limited that," Wanyi explained, "My classmates went abroad because they weren't doing well academically in China and could not win in the rat race, but once here they found the education system is completely different, they might not win in China but did very well abroad."
This was indeed true.
Pingsheng often said, if you don't study hard, when spoiled brats grow up, they can only go to Harvard.
Education in China is about examinations, while abroad it's tailored to individual talents.
Whatever you want to study, you study; it's entirely different.
Those who can make it into Tsinghua or Peking University in China generally won't go abroad.
"Your classmates have quite good conditions!"
"Not really, it was mostly their families scraping and saving, even selling their houses to afford a few years of their education here."
Wanyi's family conditions are average, naturally not allowing for studying abroad.
The costs for studying in prestigious schools abroad, not to mention just the tuition fees are hundreds of thousands per year.
Various costs added up, if you want to live not too poorly, it starts from eight hundred thousand a year.
"But after they graduated, they all stayed here to work, easily making four to five hundred thousand a year, working only five days a week, and not more than forty hours a week."
