When the story of Plesetsk came to an end, the surging situation in Russia finally showed some signs of stabilization.

The wave of privatization of the Russian economy has come to an end, the major energy and mining oligarchs have carved up the legacy of the Soviet Union, and the financial and media oligarchs have demarcated their spheres of influence. The lives of the people have become unstoppable, but at least the problems that have emerged have reached a certain balance with the power of capital, and if they continue to do so, the CPSU may have to return.

Nowadays, when the oligarchs eat meat and drink soup, they at least know to smell the people below. After all, isn't there such a thing as Che Guevara, the CPSU has not only been here in the land of Russia, but who knows if it will come back! Even now, Russians who can't survive pat their butts and go to the CPSU have a bite to eat.

Russia seems to have adapted to the new normal, which is constantly slipping, and it depends on when it breaks through a certain tipping point before it can decide its future direction.

To tell the truth, even Hu Wenhai has completely lost the advantage of being a prophet in the current international situation. Not to mention that the United States fought the Gulf War on its own and stationed troops in Iraq ahead of schedule; the Southeast Asian financial crisis broke out ahead of schedule, and the ROK economy went bankrupt ahead of schedule; under the influence of many financial turmoils, the organizational progress of the European Union has been greatly accelerated, and the European Monetary Bureau has submitted a bill to the Madrid summit on the issuance of the euro and the establishment of the European Central Bank......

The progress of the whole world seems to have produced a complex chemical reaction that makes people's brains crash because of the changes in China.

As for the initiator, Hu Wenhai himself couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this time.

In fact, the matter is not complicated, and the development of the ST Group has seriously affected the interests of the United States. Semiconductor chips, the Internet, and mobile communications were originally the direction of US strategic development that Clinton had planned. As a result, in the process of strategy implementation, it was found that many areas of these industries have been occupied by the ST Group, or there is enough competition threat to the same industry in the United States.

In terms of semiconductor chips, Xinke has a far-reaching layout. From lithography machines to architecture system design, because of the existence of Xinke, China's semiconductor wafer factories have blossomed everywhere. With cost advantages and production capacity, many American companies have no power to fight back, just like the Japanese did in the memory market back then.

But then again, many of them are American fabs that move their production lines to China and then turn around and kill their competitors in the United States.

Chinese electronics companies have grown savagely since the 90s, and they have completed the construction of the entire industrial chain in a dazzling way.

As for the Internet industry, China is also developing rapidly. Although the speed of the Internet is limited by the rapid improvement of the economic level, the number of users also benefits from the number of people, which is simply growing by leaps and bounds. Many network terminals, perhaps a Xiaobawang keyboard with a built-in modem, are mostly priced at less than 500 yuan. Although it is not as rich in functions as a personal computer, the online version of the EOS system is enough to open a web page.

What's more, in 92, Xinke didn't know how to get through the road of radio and television, and initially realized the integration of three networks. This kind of rudimentary network terminal can actually play video on demand through the telecommunications network to the users bound to the cable TV box. This feature alone has enabled the Internet to reach a penetration rate of more than 90% among cable TV users in China.

With such a large user base, it is conceivable how explosive China's Internet infrastructure will usher in in the past two years. This will promote the development of the entire industry, and what a huge competition and impact it will have on the same industry in the United States. By 1994, in the U.S. market, and even in the global market, the origin of 56K modems could no longer be marked beyond MADE_CHINA.

As for the mobile communications industry, that's not to mention. The CDMA patent pool in the hands of Xinke is enough to form a technical barrier and become a key player in the CDMA alliance. This makes the U.S. market very uncomfortable, which has an advantage in CDMA, but GSM is very weak. As a result, the CDMA network now needs to rely on people's breath, and there is no technical advantage in the GSM network, so the CDMA network has become a chicken rib.

What the high-tech industrial consortium behind Clinton could not tolerate even more was that Xinke actually put its hand in the pockets of Americans. Whether it is Dell, IBM, or Mao Qingzhu's quiet investment layout in the United States in the past ten years - it was not until after AOL was listed that Wall Street discovered that the largest ISP and portal in the United States had been taken first. After a larger investigation, an underground dynasty of the information industry gradually emerged, and Wall Street was surprised to find that the Chinese could be said to have cut out the biggest piece of the cake in the information industry.

How could the Americans in the Clinton era get along well? Hu Wenhai soon tasted the bitterness.

Of course, the Americans in 1995 still had to hold high the banner of free trade. Some things are not as clear as Emperor Zhi, but secretly doing it is ruthless. A huge crisis is gradually descending on Xinke, and even on the entire Chinese semiconductor industry.

"Both ASLM and Nikon have said that they have not obtained an export license, and we may not be able to deliver the lithography machines we have ordered this year. ”

Lu Yinglong's voice on the phone was a little worried, but the troublesome things were definitely more than that.

"Motorola sued us in the U.S., arguing that our fab used their patented technology. The U.S. Department of Commerce's investigation suspected that our working environment did not comply with importer regulations, and also initiated an anti-dumping investigation against us......"

"With so many problems erupting in a concentrated manner, I think the U.S. side is deliberately targeting us. ”187

Listening to Lu Yinglong's voice, Hu Wenhai couldn't help but frown a little. The problems encountered by the fab are not alone, on the contrary, Xinke's business has hit a wall almost everywhere in the international market recently, and only the domestic business has been carried out relatively smoothly.

This is actually to blame him, after all, it is the first time to be the "richest man in the world", and he doesn't have so much experience. Standing in such a position a few years ago, it was inevitable that I would be a little fluttering.

Before openly shouting about the Wassenaar Agreement and blocking China's lithography machine, it launched an all-out confrontation, which obviously stimulated the Americans. Although he took a bad breath, he was targeted when he turned his head, and the benefits alone outweighed the losses.

"Clinton is not going to tear his face, the Americans still follow the rules, and our soldiers will cover up the water. Hu Wenhai comforted Lu Yinglong on the phone, the problem encountered by the wafer factory is the biggest, and the more he is a leader at this time, the more he can't mess up.

Of course, this is also because he crossed over early, and he didn't see the face of the American imperialists after he came to power, otherwise he would not have been able to say such words as "Americans talk about rules".

Fortunately, it is Clinton who is now in office, and this is obviously not a political amateur who will mess around.

"Then I sent a message to ASML and Nikon, given the current situation, we are going to withdraw the immersive patent license, I don't ask for much, just let them come back to the negotiating table. ”

"As for the U.S. Department of Commerce to investigate, let them investigate, whether our workers' welfare and working conditions are up to or not, and they don't know? In terms of anti-dumping investigations, we must not believe any of their promises, we must never admit that we are dumping, and we must not pin our hopes on others. Even if you go to court with the U.S. Department of Commerce, you must not be convinced by hiring the best lawyer. Remember, don't trust their informal promises, and don't delegate a lawsuit to someone else, you know?"

"As for Motorola, they're killing themselves, and I'll give them a little bit of color at the CDMA Alliance. ”

"Okay, with Mr. Hu's words, then I will fight with them to the end!" Lu Yinglong let out a sigh of relief, and finally took a reassuring pill.

As the specific leader of the wafer factory, what he is afraid of is not to fight with the Americans, but to compromise with the people above.

As long as it is willing to compromise with the Americans, it will be able to do business steadily, and maybe even make more money. For example, in the CDMA alliance, if you cooperate with American companies, then the whole alliance will have no part for others to speak, and will it make less money?

For example, if the wafer factory is relieved to do foundry for American companies, then there will only be more and more MADE_CHINA products in the American market, isn't it more worry-free than their own development?

On the contrary, it is necessary to fight against the Americans, which is really incompatible with money.

However, there are some things that are always done and not done. With this step back today, the ceiling of China's electronics industry in the future may be lowered. So from the bottom of his heart, Lu Yinglong also hopes to persevere.

"The U.S. Department of Commerce will hold a hearing on the 3rd of next month, and I will be called to attend in person. ”

This kind of naming made the leaders of the party under investigation personally come over and criticize the Americans, but Lu Yinglong didn't think much about it.

In the early years, the working environment of the Xinke wafer factory may indeed be insufficient, but with the continuous improvement over the years, coupled with the improvement of national policies and regulations, Xinke is not worried that its production conditions do not meet the requirements of the United States - if Xinke is not qualified enough, then the United States should not do business with third world countries!

The 7.62 bullet in the hands of the Iraqi Imperial Allied Army is really a dumping product that does not meet the regulations, why don't you see the Pentagon come out to speak?

When encountering the anti-dumping investigation of the Americans, we must not be a turtle with a shrunken head, and we must actively respond to the lawsuit, and Hu Wenhai must have learned from Fuyao in this experience.

Lu Yinglong thought for a while and said firmly: "Then I'll go there in person, I don't believe that a country as big as the United States has no place to be reasonable!"
