Chapter 492: There is only one winner in the end, Europe
As countries take action, the United Nations has announced that the United Nations General Assembly next month will discuss the issue of marine pollution and try to come up with a solution that is acceptable to all countries.
We only have one ocean, which is the cradle of our life, and we must cherish it.
Xu Ping'an didn't care about the wind and rain in the outside world, and accompanied Isabella around France for almost half a month, and then the two separated, Isabella went home to quietly design her own building, and Xu Ping'an went to Apocalypse Island to inspect.
This time to Apocalypse Island, Xu Ping'an focused on inspecting the satellite R&D center, where more than 300 senior talents worked, and the progress was not small every day.
The difficulty of satellite research and development is not small at all, and the meteorological satellite and the reconnaissance satellite are combined into one, which is called a meteorological satellite to the outside world, and it can be used as a high-resolution reconnaissance satellite immediately after changing the program.
Just when Xu Ping'an was busy on Apocalypse Island, a news broke out in the United States, intending to extend the ban on the sale of spare parts to Weiwei Company to the Apocalypse Group.
Two members of Congress have already expressed this opinion, and many people are surprised, it is not clear what the government wants to do, but Qualcomm is very eager.
The coalition held a meeting, intensified lobbying, and quickly figured out what was going on.
It turned out that this pair of YL sanctions against the Apocalypse Group was very cooperative, which made some people's minds lively, and they planned to put a little pressure on the Apocalypse Group.
If Xu Ping'an can't withstand this pressure, he must invest on a large scale in the United States to be exempted, test the reaction of the Apocalypse Group, there is no loss if it fails, and there is a lot to gain if it succeeds.
What's more, Apocalypse Group has invested so much in Europe, and according to the statistics of relevant departments, Apocalypse Group has more than 40,000 direct employees in Europe, and more than 600,000 jobs have been indirectly created.
Compressing the investment of Tianqi Group in Europe and allowing its investment to be transferred to the United States is definitely a huge positive for improving the employment rate of the country.
This plan makes the Black House unable to refuse, the employment rate is the pursuit of the Black House, and with a good employment rate, it is the best weapon for the new round of elections.
I know that there has been no response from the Apocalypse Group in the past few days, but many domestic companies have begun to move, and the pressure on the Black Palace is very great.
Xu Ping'an also received the news, smiled and didn't care very much, he had been prepared for this matter, and if he didn't show up, it would matter, once this situation occurred, he could start the backup plan immediately, and the impact would definitely not be great.
"Xue Yi, let's start the investigation," Xu Ping'an said directly into the phone.
Ji Xueyi knew very well what Xu Ping'an was referring to, "BOSS, a large optical lens factory, a medium-sized chip manufacturer, and a lithography equipment research institute, in addition to these three types of enterprises, do you need to inspect other hardware industries?"
"No, for the time being, consider these three types of companies, make an acquisition order, conduct an in-depth investigation, and exclude those companies with heavy burdens."
"If you can't find a target that meets the requirements at the end of the inspection, notify me in time, and we can directly establish a new enterprise, maybe we can save a lot of money," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
The two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, Xu Ping'an settled on Apocalypse Island with peace of mind, don't go back first, save yourself from the trouble after you go back, let's see the situation.
Time passed slowly, and Ji Xueyi's investigation of the company was grasped by many people, and after careful analysis, it can be seen that Xu Ping'an is preparing.
Qualcomm has been deeply involved in the Celestial Empire market for many years, and Ji Xueyi's actions can't hide from him, the headquarters has already issued an order to the general manager of the Celestial Empire District, and once it finds that the Apocalypse Group has signs of meddling in the chip industry, it will be reported immediately.
This time, the status of Ji Xueyi's activities was directly reported to Qualcomm headquarters, and Leonardo opened the report without exception, and he thought about it in the office for a long time.
If you leave the headquarters directly and fly to Washington, you must have a face-to-face interview with the Black House, otherwise, according to the current situation, the last thing you want to see will inevitably appear.
As the chairman of an international giant, it is very simple to go to the Black Palace to meet the president, as soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by a car and went straight to the Black Palace.
In the president's office, the president, Leonardo, the secretary of state, and the bigwigs of both parties listened to Leonardo behind closed doors, and the time was really not short, almost two hours, which is rare.
In the room, the bigwigs all frowned, looking at the information provided by Leonardo, they all felt that they had underestimated the influence of the Apocalypse Group, which actually had such strong technical reserves in chips, computer hardware, etc.
Leonardo's information is very comprehensive, and the technology licensed to other computer hardware manufacturers last year has been comprehensively analyzed, and if the Apocalypse Group is really forced to the road of self-production, the technology companies in the United States will have a strong competitor.
It is no longer realistic to suppress the Apocalypse Group, not to mention that the Apocalypse Group cooperates closely with Europe, even if Europe agrees to cooperate with the suppression of the Apocalypse Group, the Apocalypse Group does not produce, and it will not lose money if it directly authorizes European enterprises to collect patent fees.
At that time, Qualcomm and other international giants will face a lot more competitors, and the technological crushing is not something that you can solve by executive order, and the impact will be very large, which is very unfavorable to the scientific and technological development of the United States.
Again, Xu Ping'an is also a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and secretly starts to play means, which is not a good thing for the United States, and those organizations in the Middle East have a headache for the United States that have no money.
Xu Ping'an is very rich, money is the most powerful weapon on this planet, and it will do no harm to the United States if he gets things done.
Everyone asked a lot of questions, and Leonardo answered them seriously, and even used video software to contact Guge, Microsoft and other tech giants to prove that he was not lying.
The bigwigs began to be silent, and the things discussed today are definitely beyond what they said, and they didn't expect the technical strength of the Apocalypse Group to reach this level.
Tricky, very tricky.
A few days passed slowly, and the public opinion on Mi Guo's side about restricting the Apocalypse Group began to gradually weaken, which surprised many people.
Norton, chairman of the Airbus Group, smiled when he saw this result in the office, needless to say, those giants in the United States intervened, and it was a pity that the show was not seen.
The technical strength of the Apocalypse Group Norton is very clear, this time the company analyzed the Apocalypse Group's carbon magnetic supercharging technology, and gave the Apocalypse Group a high evaluation, and this carbon magnetic supercharging technology is definitely the gospel of the engine.
Airbus Group has an agreement with the Apocalypse Group, this carbon magnetic pressurization technology can only be used on civil aircraft, and it is forbidden to use it on fighter aircraft, needless to say, the relevant departments of the Celestial Empire will definitely apply this technology to fighters to make up for the weaknesses of the fighters themselves.
If the United States were to impose a comprehensive sanction on the Apocalypse Group, European countries would definitely fully cooperate at the beginning, because this would take a lot of benefits from the Apocalypse Group and the United States.
In two or three months at most, when the Apocalypse Group and the United States are in trouble, they will definitely pull the Apocalypse Group along, so that they can reflect the value of Europe and get more practical benefits.
It's not stupid, Xu Ping'an of Tianqi Group knows this, and Mi Guo also knows this, and now they are still controlling the development in this direction, once they cross this red line, there is only one winner in the end, Europe.
A few days later, Xu Ping'an received a call from Ji Xueyi, "Boss, I want to ask, does our Tianqi Group have advanced chip technology" Ji Xueyi looked at his father sitting opposite and said this sentence into the phone.
"Xueyi, this is not like your habit, don't take it as an example"
"The real annual investment of Tianqi Group in scientific research has exceeded 30 billion euros, and one thing can be determined by authorizing those computer hardware manufacturers in the previous stage."
"If I want, I can squeeze the market share of the United States in the three categories of chips, systems, and computer hardware, and the reason why I didn't do this is because I don't want to start a war with these international giants."
"The scale of the Apocalypse Group is not small, and it also has a certain influence in the world, but I can't meddle in all industries, you know what the fate of the world's public enemy is, you understand what I mean now," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"I understand, thank you boss, I won't be asking similar questions" Ji Xueyi said with a serious face.
"I saw the results of the investigation, give up the acquisition, we can build a factory directly when necessary, the acquisition is not very cost-effective, the debt of these companies is too high," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"It's really not low, and it's in our interests to re-establish a new factory" Ji Xueyi also means this, a new factory is more cost-effective than an acquisition.
After a few polite words to Xu Ping'an, he hung up the phone, and then looked at the old man opposite, "Father, you have heard it, don't let me do this kind of thing in the future, Xu Ping'an treats me well, and I have a disturbed conscience by doing this."
Ji Zhongxing looked at Ji Xueyi, "Xu Ping'an is a native of the Celestial Empire, and it is natural for him to contribute to the country."
Ji Xueyi pursed her lips and stopped talking after hearing this, saying too much, her father would not be able to get off the stage, and his father was too old to be stimulated.
Xu Ping'an took the time to go to Aidrius Island again, inspected a circle, and added two more projects, the first of which was to sign a land purchase agreement with a company of a South African bigwig.
Buy dirt, if you want to have life on the island, you must have soil to plant trees, although the price is not high, the quantity of demand is huge, and the big guy will not make less money after completing the project.
In addition, an agreement was signed with a Portuguese company to collect silt and soil from the seabed for secondary processing, with the addition of a disinfectant nutritional preparation developed by the Austrian Institute of Biologics.
This preparation is produced by Tianchao Tianqi Preparation Company, the first batch of air transport, and then it can be transported by sea, and only one preparation is enough for 500 catties of mixed soil.
