Technological Supremacy Chapter 108: The mystery of the failure of the second hole card will be revealed soon!
The news that the North American authorities have started the Section 337 investigation of the Big Four shocked the entire land of China.
For a while, the Internet public opinion boiled.
While netizens are angry, they are also worried.
After all, the Big Four have just become the overlords of the global mobile phone industry, and they have an amazing driving effect on the upstream and downstream industry chains.
If they are sanctioned, it will be a serious blow to the domestic economy.
After the news broke, Luo Jia called Mr. Ren in the office.
"How's the situation over there?" Luo Jia asked.
"What can I do, respond to the lawsuit, this is not the first time you have encountered such a thing." Mr. Ren said seemingly relaxed.
Luo Jia frowned, "But this time, I heard from the North American lawyer team that it may be a little different."
Mr. Ren snorted, "I know that this time they have a lot of power behind them. The North American authorities have already disliked us, but they are the authorities after all, and it is not good for them to directly intervene in the affairs of enterprises."
"Now that Google and Apple are suing, it means that the authorities have caught the handle. When we respond to the lawsuit, it may be more difficult. We are prepared for these. Don't worry, such a large-scale trade lawsuit needs to be said less After a year and a half, the results will not come out so quickly."
Luo Jia comforted Mr. Ren and hung up the phone.
At this moment, An Ran walked into his office and shook her head at Luo Jia.
"What's going on?" Luo Jia asked with a frown.
An Ran smiled wryly and said, "I have contacted Intel. Although they didn't say anything explicitly, I can hear some meaning from what they said. I'm afraid someone from the North American authorities has hinted that they won't be allowed to intervene in this matter."
"Then, there is no more."
An Ran spread her arms and shrugged helplessly.
Luo Jia leaned over to the boss's chair, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs silently.
Intel, Texas Instruments, these North American semiconductor manufacturers, are Luo Jia's second hole card.
They have a partnership with Xingchen Technology. Once Google sues Xingchen Technology, Intel will step in to prevent the sanctions against Xingchen Technology in order to ensure its own interests.
But now, Google is targeting the Big Four, using the 337 investigation to sue the Big Four for monopoly and infringement.
In this way, Intel has no reason to intervene.
An Ran said, "I also don't know whether Intel refused to intervene because someone gave them hints, or whether it didn't want to get involved in this muddy water at all. Anyway, they can't count on them now."
"I'm not saying that Intel is different from the legal team we employ in North America. The legal team is a group of professional litigants. If there is a lawsuit, there will be no lawsuit.”
"I'm not afraid of opponents like pigs, but teammates like pigs." An Ran muttered, "Intel is not our own after all, and it's really **** unreliable at critical moments."
Luo Jia held her forehead and fell into deep thinking.
The situation did not develop according to Luo Jia's preview, and it seemed to be out of control. In any case, Luo Jia never wanted to implicate Mr. Ren and the others.
An Ran lowered her voice and whispered in Luo Jia's ear, "Mr. Luo, don't you still have a third hole card?"
"It's so mysterious, only you and Li Moran know about it, and even I don't tell it, it should be a killer weapon at the level of a killer, right?"
Luo Jia muttered, "Yes, but that hole card is not there to end the war."
"Why does that exist?" An Ran asked puzzled.
"In order to expand the war." Luo Jia said lightly
In the blink of an eye, Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue have been in Brazil for three months.
They were also tanned like Liu Zhifeng, and began to wear Brazilian-style flip flops.
The famous Brazilian barbecue strengthened their bodies. In addition, like all Chinese living in the local area, they inevitably encountered robbery.
It was one afternoon, two little kids with revolvers suddenly jumped out of the alley, shouting something in Portuguese.
Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue quickly raised their hands, and let the two brats take 140 reais and two mobile phones from their pockets.
The whole process happened within a few seconds. Before Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue could recover, the two kids with guns had already fled.
According to the local Chinese, it is more moral for the Brazilian robbers to pay as long as they don’t want to die
Anyway, Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue just went to the country to do as the Romans did. Living in this world, the place farthest from China, there were troubles and melancholy of homesickness, but also a lot of happiness.
The branch office has been fully established.
It was really not easy. I sent money to many officials, and it took a lot of time to get back a representative business license, Internet business license, and other pieces of broken paper.
Since Liu Zhifeng landed, he started going through the formalities, and it took more than two months.
Fortunately, Luo Jia took precautions, otherwise, relying on the efficiency of local work in Brazil, he would need to come here to open a branch temporarily to ensure that he would be caught.
In addition to their four supervisors, the branch also employs more than a dozen local overseas Chinese, who belong to various departments.
There is also a cleaning lady who is not of Chinese descent. Generally speaking, Chinese people in Brazil are quite wealthy and will not mix to the point of being a cleaner.
So far, Luo Jia has not arranged a job for the Brazil branch, so Wei Chen and the others spend four days a week teaching in local overseas Chinese schools.
It can be regarded as reciprocating. The local overseas Chinese are very enthusiastic about the branch office and have given a lot of help.
In Brazil, there are two types of overseas Chinese, old overseas Chinese and new overseas Chinese.
The new overseas Chinese all came out after the reform and opening up, and they only wanted to make money.
As for the old overseas Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, they could not survive in their hometown, so they had to leave their hometown.
They started as a small business and worked hard, rain or shine.
With money, they first build schools and ancestral halls to encourage future generations to learn Chinese culture.
Wei Chen and the others had the most contact with these old overseas Chinese and their descendants.
The inheritance of traditional culture by the old overseas Chinese left a deep impression on Wei Chen and the others.
According to the consistent tradition of Xingchen Technology, the four of Wei Chen and the others are typical highly educated and high-intellectuals, and they are from first-class universities such as Shangcai, Fudan, Jiaotong, and Wuhan.
Among them, Huang Shanyue is a Ph.D. from the Computer Department of Jiaotong University, and Wei Chen is a master of business from Fudan University.
The luxurious lineup amazed the local overseas Chinese, and they must be invited as teachers.
Wei Chen and the others felt that there was nothing wrong with helping local overseas Chinese learn Chinese and culture, so they readily agreed.
In the Overseas Chinese School, a solemn apprenticeship ceremony was held, and Wei Chen and the others were invited to the upper seat, and then the students offered tea and saluted.
Although the etiquette is cumbersome, it can be seen that they really have a heart.
Besides being moved, Wei Chen and the others secretly made up their minds that since they are role models for others, they should educate others.
They have spared no effort to pass on the knowledge they have mastered, and all of this is naturally grateful in the eyes of the local overseas Chinese.
Local overseas Chinese often visit the company. Those who sell seafood bring fresh oysters and lobsters, those who run plantations bring endless tropical fruits, and the uncles and aunts who run restaurants take turns delivering bento every day at noon.
It is hard to imagine that the branch of Star Technology in Brazil has only a few months of history, and it has become one with the local overseas Chinese, like a family.
They even celebrated the Spring Festival together. Wei Chen and the others even learned the skills of lion dance. During the Chinese New Year parade, they also represented Xingchen Technology and performed on stage.
Walking on the 25th Street, everyone greeted Wei Chen and the others kindly, and respectfully called them Mr. or Teacher.
Wei Chen and the others have never experienced such courtesy in China.
"Here comes the email! It's Mr. Luo's email!"
On the last day of February, the accountant Jin Ming's voice made Wei Chen and the others jump out of their chairs.
"Quickly open it and have a look, what did Mr. Luo say?"
"Is it our turn to play?"
Accountant Jin Ming hurriedly opened the email, and saw the full text of Luo Jia's email as follows:
Hello, colleagues stationed in the branch office.
In view of the fact that our war with Google has entered a white-hot stage, it may expand into an all-out war at any time.
So from now on, all major branches are on standby 24 hours a day, ready to go online at any time.
Thank you for your hard work.
Luo Jia.
Aww!
After reading Luo Jia's email, the four steel straight men in the Brazil branch howled like wolves, which shocked the local colleagues for unknown reasons.
They immediately began to assign work, Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue were in a group, Liu Zhifeng and Jin Ming were in a group, and the two groups took turns to ensure that once the order from the headquarters came online, Brazil could immediately execute it.
Not only the Brazilian branch, Luo Jia's forty-nine branches around the world, forty-nine steel tough guy sub-corps, all took action in full swing.
After assigning the duty schedule, Liu Zhifeng called the Overseas Chinese School and told them that it would be hard to get through these days because the company might have a major task.
The Overseas Chinese School expresses its understanding. Seeing that they have been idle in the local area for so long, in fact, the overseas Chinese also wondered ~IndoMTL.com~ raised so many people, and rented so many servers, how much does it cost each month? I don't see them opening their doors for business.
Now that Liu Zhifeng said that he was going to be busy, the overseas Chinese were very relieved, and discussed how to stew two ducks for the gentlemen.
Huang Shanyue, the chief technical officer, turned on the computer with great excitement to test the program before it went online.
Although he checks the program every day, he still can't rest assured at the moment.
On the screen of Huang Shanyue's laptop, a search interface appeared.
The style is very similar to the galaxy style used by the star system, with sharp lines and exaggerated arcs.
The search interface has two names, one in Portuguese and one in Chinese.
I don't understand Portuguese.
But in Chinese, there are four big characters written clearly.
Star search!
