Altman, the American AI boss, asked for $7 trillion when he opened his mouth, saying that he wanted to build the world's most powerful AI system. If he was raising money in the United States, there would be nothing wrong with it. The problem is, he's raising money from around the world. In particular, it is eyeing the sovereignty of the rich Arab countries and other countries.
The development of AI technology is naturally very important, and it is normal for a large amount of capital to be invested. Here's the thing: Americans are going to do their own thing with someone else's money. It's so clever. You might say, give you equity, and you can make a lot of money by going public later.
If it's hundreds of millions or billions. Maybe you can be a venture capitalist. The problem is that the investment of 7 trillion yuan is not a matter of Bo Yibo. If the investment fails, I am afraid that it will be lost. And there are a lot of means of operation in it. Here are a few of them:
1. They use the money for equipment investment, and entrust the software to another American company, and all the software intellectual property rights belong to someone else. Investors get only scrap machines that are destined to be consumed.
2. They use the money for technology research and development and marketing. They can transfer some of the core research results to another U.S. company. I only master non-core patented technologies.
3. If the research and development is successful, the United States will strongly intervene in the name of *** to restrict the rights and interests of investors, or make appropriate compensation, so that you will get out.
All this money is basically going to the United States. This is equivalent to the United States receiving $7 trillion in venture capital free of charge. It's perfectly okay to just spend money and be reckless. Once the investment fails, foreign investors can only consider themselves unlucky. Even if the research and development is successful, the United States has thousands of ways to control the core technology, and it is very difficult for investors to realize their own rights and interests.
Therefore, Ultraman's $7 trillion is that American capital wants to use other people's money to continue its own life. Leave the risks to others and leave the benefits to the United States. It's a perfect design.
Now, you should realize the reason why American capital is awesome!
