Chapter 884: Twenty years is not too late
The arrest of the main person in charge of the new technology wafer fab in the United States really made many insiders feel incredulous, and even couldn't help but wonder if it was really just legal reasons.
A senior executive of the world's top company invited by the Ministry of Commerce was taken away by the FBI on the plane!
This is indeed a bit devastating for those who heard and witnessed the "universal values" of the United States in the 90s.
What about the spirit of the rule of law in the Americans, what about the fist of the people, what about the separation of powers, and what about the business reputation and the spirit of contract?
It can only be said that the development of Xinke really forced Clinton into a corner.
Chip manufacturing, power semiconductors are currently the home of Xinke, IGBT and IGCT basically monopolize the world's power semiconductor industry. In terms of digital chips, mobile communications and switches, not to mention, Xinke is the initiator of the CDMA alliance and a well-deserved hegemon in the switch market. In terms of PC, Xinke's motherboards and memory are invincible all over the world, and graphics cards and EOS systems have sprung up and are menacing. The only thing that the United States can grasp the advantage is the CPU and hard disk, but the patent for the giant magnetoresistance is still in Hu Wenhai's hands.
By 1995, Xinke was still pushing USB flash drives and MP3 players, apparently not even wanting to leave the last place for itself to the Americans.
If this continues, Clinton wants to develop the electronics industry, and he may make wedding dresses for others in minutes!
As the saying goes, if it is too much, things will be reversed, Hu Wenhai has fully learned the lessons of his previous life, and many projects are laid out in advance, and he has sufficient patent barriers in his hands. The electronics industry group in the United States finally helped Clinton up, but found that the situation was so bad that it had no place to fight for resources.
The Americans, who just beat the Soviet Union down, can stand this!
If you can't do it, then play yin. didn't send the Xinke wafer factory to take a local plane, which is already exquisite enough.
It can only be said that Hu Wenhai has never seen what the Americans looked like after they didn't have discipline, but the United States in 1995 was not the United States after Emperor Sichuan took the throne.
I don't care about any agent white gloves at all, and I just arrest people with my own hands. Lu Yinglong staggered into prison, Motorola launched a lawsuit against Xinke with great fanfare, and major news media quickly followed up, and sons of all colors hugged Xinke's thighs.
In the end, in the narrative of the American media, ST Group has become a smuggler, a thief on the other side of the Pacific, a profiteer digging for patent traps, a technology thief, a dirty bribe-taker, and a hateful bribe-giver, as if he would not stop until he knocked ST to the ground and stepped on 10,000 feet.
To tell the truth, where has Hu Wenhai been slandered and attacked like this? In the early years of international media such as BBC and CNN, the credibility of international media such as BBC and CNN was still worth a few dollars in the eyes of the Chinese. Although it is the mouthpiece of the opposite, I always feel that there should be a bottom line. It's not that there are no means of reversing black and white, but everyone subconsciously thinks that such a big media will still have some moderation, right? If you want to say that the credibility of these international media is bankrupt, it is thanks to the president's rank, and he personally went down to scold his own top media, and before that, the words "international public opinion" still had some positive significance.
But because he has not had such an experience, Hu Wenhai will inevitably have to make up for this lesson here.
In fact, he's still a little younger.
Lu Yinglong's arrest made Hu Wenhai furious, and on the one hand, he actively responded to the lawsuit in the United States, and on the other hand, began to put pressure on American companies in the international market with great fanfare.
Today's Xinke is not afraid to hurt people with its roots, and the health of its assets is much higher than Apple's. There are a lot of advanced and high-quality assets in hand, as well as a variety of deadly patented technologies. Technologies such as immersive lithography and high-resolution gratings are simply pinching the neck of the global electronics industry.
If we really let go of our hands to confront the US electronics industry, we can bring back the production level of the global electronics industry by at least three years. Even if these face-tearing methods are not used, just killing low prices and grabbing the market is enough for American companies to drink a pot.
All of a sudden, the NASDAQ stock index in the United States was like a roller coaster crawling past the highest point and playing a high platform diving.
From Applied Materials, IBM to Intel and Motorola, Microsoft, AOL, Netscape and Yahoo, there is not a single IT-themed stock that hasn't fallen.
Hu Wenhai's counterattack can not be described as fierce, and the strength shown is not insignificant. But it is precisely because of this that the stronger the United States is afraid of Xinke, the more it wants to find ways to put it to death.
"We have ample evidence that ST Group's patented technology was stolen from us in the United States. They dump communications equipment on the international market at very low prices, targeting technology and intelligence from countries around the world. Through a backdoor vulnerability in their devices, information on the internet is under serious security threats. We hope that our allies will take note of this situation, and that it is in our core interest to protect the information security of NATO allies......"
No one would have imagined that after suffering from the international market one after another, Clinton would go on the stage shirtless and personally stand in front of the stage to shout to the NATO allies. This undoubtedly caused an uproar in the international community.
Although this is a bit shameless, it is undoubtedly effective. In 1995, the United States was still a well-deserved world hegemon, and it would destroy whoever it said it would attack and destroy whichever country it said. The President of the United States glared, and all countries had to sell face.
As a result, Xinke's business in NATO countries immediately became difficult. Pen in Chinese
But this is not the end, Hu Wenhai actively responded to the lawsuit in the United States, and just hired a well-known barrister, who was invited by the IRS in the name of tax evasion. The agent of the case, Mao Qingzhu, was reported to have browsed and spread "astringent" content, and then the FBI turned his home upside down, and claimed to have found the film Qingqing Coral Island in his VCD disc.
Mao Qingzhu's venture capital fund account was frozen, and even the cleaning aunt in the company was placed under residential surveillance.
The computers sold by Dell have continuously broken out quality problems, and the after-sales service personnel have been replaced with good ones, the service attitude is not good, and there have even been news of beating customers......
The combination punch used by the United States with the power of a state power is what the new branch can parry. Since the 90s, the European market, which Xinke has invested heavily in development, has been snatched away almost visibly. Although the main patents of the CDMA alliance are in the hands of Xinke, Ericsson, Nokia and other companies have obviously begun to tilt towards Motorola.
Under this series of blows, the entire Xinke semiconductor electronics industry group centered on Xinke has been hit. ASML and Nikon not only began to delay the import contract of lithography machines, but also infringed on the production of immersive lithography equipment. Xinke's lawyer's letter was shelved, and he clearly said that he had the ability to sue him.
The power of one of the most powerful countries on earth against a company is almost unprecedented in the history of the world.
In such a grim situation, Hu Wenhai woke up from a dream and realized that he had indeed swelled a little in the past few years. After thinking about it, he had to pick up the red phone on his desk, which he rarely used, and dial a number that he rarely dialed.
"Secretary Qing, it's me, Hu Wenhai!"
Secretary Qing and Hu Wenhai are old friends, he was a secretary when he was in the Ministry of Electronics Industry, this call to him, I really don't know what kind of consequences it will continue to cause.
"Mr. Hu, wait a minute. ”
On the phone, Secretary Qing seemed to say something to the others, and then the background sound quickly quieted down.
"What a coincidence, if Mr. Hu doesn't make this call, I'm also about to call you. Secretary Qing sounded relieved, and said earnestly: "Recently, the situation in the United States and Xinke has been noticed above, and the leader asked me to tell you not to worry, don't go on like this-for-tat!"
"The current situation is no longer a matter for the new company, since the Americans arrested Lu Yinglong, we have been preparing to start diplomatic work. It's just that I've been trying to figure it out before, so it hasn't played a role for a long time. Now that our external system is ready, don't worry, Mr. Hu, we are standing behind you in this matter!"
Hu Wenhai frowned slightly, to be honest, he didn't have much confidence in the foreign affairs system at this time, and he really didn't know what effect could be achieved through foreign affairs negotiations.
"Is there anything I can do? It's just that I hope that Lu Yinglong's personal safety will be guaranteed first and that he will be rescued from the Americans, which is the most important thing. ”
"Of course, human life is at stake, and this is also our top priority, Mr. Hu, please rest assured. ”
Secretary Qing thought for a while, and said with a deep sigh: "There are some things that really need to be done by Xinke. ”
You say. Hu Wenhai nodded crisply.
"Xinke should no longer adopt a tough and confrontational attitude, and what is needed to deal with this situation is political wisdom. Now the power of our country, the more irritating the Americans, the worse the situation will only become. Achieving our goals as much as possible requires strategy, patience, and compromise. ”
"This ......" Hu Wenhai frowned, he understood the reason, if it was none of his business, he could also make a calm choice. But the problem is that now the person concerned is him, and this breath is really hard to swallow: "But the law and justice are not with us, isn't it?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about it. Secretary Qing patiently persuaded: "But be reasonable...... It also depends on the size of the fist. We Chinese have a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. I understand Mr. Hu's feelings, but today's compromise is not a closing statement, we have time, and I think Mr. Hu, you are not old. Ten or twenty years from now, we will come back to them to seek justice, and then let them pay back even what they have earned. Please rest assured, we have not forgotten all this pen account, and we have written it down for them!"
Yo ho.
Think about it too. When you can't do anything, haha smile, hello everyone, I'm good at business. But don't catch me, or I'll give you an "ISA virus" package, followed by a "banana quarantine" package, and sometimes a "travel warning" package.
To tell the truth, but as a civilization with a history of 5,000 years, can we only see what is in front of us? Time is on our side in the final analysis, and after 10 years, it will naturally be clear who will be the winner.
Of course, Hu Wenhai knows better in his heart that time is on this side. Today's loss is for the sake of long-term development. Looking at this account 20 years from now, what will we look at at that time? What will Motorola have in 2015? What will IBM have left? Won't we be able to produce CVD equipment from Applied Materials?
Besides, although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. But Hu Wenhai thinks that he is going to be a villain, and there are still 20 years to go, Lao Mei, you can see that I, a villain, will find things for you from morning to night!
Mess with me, we're not done!
