The news of the replacement of the world's richest man shocked the world, and Han Hao reached the top with undeniable strength, allowing many people to re-understand China by understanding him.

Suddenly, Han Hao became one of the most famous Chinese candidates in the world, and could even act as the spokesperson for China.

However, the gun shot the first bird, and he was also targeted by some people with ulterior motives and became a dazzling target.

In order to acquire Land Rover and Volvo, as well as to develop the North American market and build factories, Han Hao operated some friendly relations in the United States, involving Wall Street, Silicon Valley and even Washington. In addition, he is a self-made model, which makes Americans who advocate the spirit of personal struggle respect. What's more, as one of the leaders of China's business community, many American political and economic figures are willing to deal with him as a bridge between China and the United States, so he has a good popularity.

A few days after becoming the richest man in the world, he received an urgent report from an American public relations firm, which surprised him.

With China's economic rise as the world's second-largest economy, there has been a voice within the U.S. government that sees China as the new rival since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This is a group of political and business elites hidden deep within American society, claiming to be "true patriots", also known as "Deepstate", who interfere in the direction of the country's operation by invisibly manipulating major policies.

"The president of flowing water, the bureaucrat of iron!"

The president of the United States serves a four-year term, with a maximum of two consecutive terms and eight years in office, but the elite bureaucrats of the "Deepstate" can stay in office for a long time and survive multiple presidential terms. Since the orders issued by the president need to be carried out by the elite bureaucrats, whether they are quickly implemented or prevaricated is their forte, and they can even change the truth and falsehood, which is enough to affect the operation of the country's major policies.

"Deepstate" is not a tight-knit organization, but a group of people who come together based on a single faith, and they are connected by alumni, comrades-in-arms, and even business partnerships. Because of the U.S. political system, they can move freely from politics, business, and even education, but the core is to ensure that U.S. interests come first.

You can't see it, you can't touch it, but "Deepstate" really exists.

An analysis report on China's economic rise has quietly leaked out, which also uses Han Hao and the China Group as typical examples, showing that the Chinese will not be satisfied with the existing achievements and will develop upwards to impact the original order of the entire world economy.

The change of the title of the world's richest man has given them the biggest target, which is enough to prove their worries.

"The automobile industry is a moderately competitive field, and Zhonghua Group has successfully demonstrated the Chinese's expertise in machinery manufacturing. The rise of Chinese automobiles has a certain impact on the US economy, and GM and Ford are already on the defensive, and will usher in a difficult period in the face of Chinese attacks.

However, since Japanese companies had already provoked similar wars back then, the U.S. auto industry had experience in dealing with it.

However, the greater threat to the United States is that the Chinese are not satisfied with the existing industrial chain pattern, but actively attack the upstream core areas and begin to exert efforts in industry 4.0 such as semiconductors and operating systems, which will greatly jeopardize the leading position of American science and technology.

Han Hao's net worth soared and he became the world's new richest man, precisely because of his large-scale entry into the semiconductor industry, which led to China's large-scale investment in companies in this field.

In the global Internet economy, neither Europe nor Japan has produced enough competitors to compete with the United States, while China has continuously produced Internet giants that can compete with each other. In the hardware field behind the Internet, Chinese are constantly catching up with semiconductors and intelligent interconnection as the underlying foundation. Whether it's software or hardware, America's tech leadership is beginning to feel threatened by China.

If we can, we should use every means to stifle the threat from China, sanction some key companies, and make sure that America puts technology first. ”

The content of the report can be described as blatant and undisguised, revealing malicious intentions towards Chinese companies.

There have always been reports, but there have been very few reports at the official level, and this report forwarded by a PR firm hired in the United States is a very clear red flag.

Near the White House, there is a lobbying street, where the public relations firm that Han Hao hired to facilitate his business in the United States is located.

It seems that the money was not spent in vain, and they faithfully proved their worth for their employers.

Han Hao, who is familiar with history, immediately remembered what happened in the mid-80s.

At that time, Japan's economy took off, and household appliances, automobiles and other products drove straight into the American market, causing local enterprises to retreat. At that time, as the top of the semiconductor market, Japanese companies accounted for half of the share, and Toshiba beat Intel and Texas Instruments to become the world's first.

It is precisely because of this strength that the Japanese even shouted the slogan "buy the United States" at one point.

If the United States dares to challenge its own economic and technological hegemony, the United States will certainly not agree.

Later, under the pretext of illegally exporting embargoed materials, Toshiba was sanctioned to forcefully suppress the Japanese semiconductor industry, forcing the other party to sign the completely unequal "Japan-US Semiconductor Agreement", and opening a new model of US-Japan trade war.

After several rounds of sticks, Toshiba gave up its position as the leader of the semiconductor industry, and the Japanese economy began to enter a lost 20-year era after being comprehensively suppressed.

Thinking of this, Han Hao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He has led up to 300 billion yuan of investment in Industry 4.0 activities in China, covering chips, LCD screens, operating systems, high-precision intelligent machine tools, etc., all of which are leading fields in the United States. Especially in the rapid layout of the semiconductor industry, once successful, it will shake the existing pattern of chips dominated by the United States.

If we think about it from another perspective, the China Group is likely to become one of the targets of US suppression.

As a world hegemon, with its strong military, economic and political power, if the U.S. government directly sanctions a company, it basically declares the social death of the other party.

Not long after the internationalization of the China Group began, if sanctions were ushered in, it would all fall short.

Han Hao has always believed that cooperation between China and the United States outweighs differences, and they will work together to develop trade activities.

But the "Deepstate" report reminded him that the path taken by Japanese companies may have to be repeated by the Zhonghua Group.

International competition has never been a family carnival of hello and me, but a naked law of the jungle.

The public relations firm responsible for handling the Chung Hwa Group's political and business relations with the U.S. suggests that the Chung Hwa Group should abide by U.S. law, avoid long-arm jurisdiction, take the initiative to reduce the risk of being targeted, and take a global mindset as the primary consideration.

"Considering the global popularity of the Chunghwa Group, as well as your own influence in the political and business circles of China, the United States and even the world, the possibility of direct sanctions is not high, but the threat is undoubtedly there. ”

People at different levels react completely differently to the same piece of information, and when it comes to Han Hao's position, he is in charge of the macro direction of the Zhonghua Group's progress. Once there is a strategic miscalculation, it will have a key impact on the development of the enterprise.

For this reason, the China Think Tank, which has been established for many years and has achieved good results, immediately received the topic of sanctions and asked them to interpret the macro strategic direction of this.

Two reports, one positive and one negative, were immediately placed in front of Han Hao's desk, and they interpreted Zhonghua Group's international business strategy from a completely opposite perspective, but both came to the same conclusion that the company was very likely to usher in international suppression.

If the Zhonghua Group stops and does not move forward, then the risk of facing suppression is extremely low, but once it continues to cross the line, then the yesterday of the Japanese company is Han Hao's tomorrow.

"Build a car for the rise of China!"

This is the motto written on the gate of Chung Hwa Group, and it is also the belief in the hearts of all Chung Hwa employees.

If the country cannot rise, then what is the point of work and life?

Han Hao vetoed the suggestion of being alone without even thinking about it, and continued to be the king of the mountain in China, but it is impossible to abandon the strategy of Industry 4.0.

If the table is not on the table, and the hole cards are not seen and they lose confidence and give up, it is definitely not the work of a business tycoon like Han Hao. And on the table, maybe you can draw a good hand, have the confidence to talk to the dealer, and you can usher in a new way to break the game.

In this regard, Han Hao adjusted the company's strategy in the next few years, adopted a relative contraction strategy in the world, tried to ensure that the basic market was not lost, worked hard to transform the enterprise into a high-tech manufacturing company, and actively marched towards Industry 4.0.

The primary goal is to solve the sensitive Iranian automotive market. In the past, the Zhonghua Group was weak and had no sense of existence, and it would not attract too much attention when it went to Iran to build a joint venture factory to produce cars. But it has developed to this day as a behemoth, especially the number one car sales in the world, and it is impossible to keep a low profile.

Although the Chinese government has previously obtained an exemption agreement and used the registration of a new company to form a firewall, once the Iranian company is investigated, it is still inseparable from the Zhonghua Group.

The Iranian business is exactly what PR firms in the United States are focusing on, and in their words, "this is the biggest weakness of the Chung Hwa Group!"

Lose the car and protect the handsome!

For the sake of the overall safety of Zhonghua Group, Han Hao had to give up the business that he had developed in Iran for many years, and strive to buy a few more years of buffer time for the company.

You must know that the Iranian market can contribute more than 800,000 cars to the Zhonghua Group every year, and once it withdraws, it will give up the title of the world's largest sales.

There must always be a high-sounding reason for withdrawing, and you can't always run out and say that you have to run away temporarily because you are afraid of future US government sanctions.

Han Hao announced the suspension of cooperation with Iran on the grounds that the 10-year joint venture agreement with Iran had expired and negotiations had broken down and would not be renewed. However, in order to appease the Iranian side, the factory equipment and manufacturing technology were transferred together, and only a relatively reasonable transfer fee was charged.

It just so happened that there were back-and-forth in the six-party negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal and the turbulent political environment in the Middle East, which gave the China Group an appropriate opportunity to withdraw.

In this way, Zhonghua Group withdrew from the Iranian market, which had been painstakingly operated for ten years, but due to the support of the high oil price market, the Iranian side had the money to buy the assets and technology of the joint venture factory, so that Han Hao was able to make a lot of money from the crude oil settled in the United States knife and return to China.

U.S. dollar foreign exchange is very important to Iran, and Han Hao agreed to convert all the Iranian earnings into crude oil and ship it back to China for realization.

After liquidating the Iranian business, the Chunghwa Group is considered to be innocent, at least in terms of compliance with international law.

Second, investment plans to expand production in the North American market have been halted.

The company had planned to double its production capacity and increase investment in Mexico in order to create economies of scale and increase competitiveness. However, in order to ensure that domestic goals are prioritized and to prevent future losses from sanctions, Han Hao postponed the plan due to financial problems.

The performance of Chinese cars in the North American market is not sluggish, although it has a lot of presence in the field of new energy, but due to promotion reasons, it still ranks behind the Korean body. Last year, the market contributed more than 450,000 units to Chunghwa Group's sales, with Land Rover and Volvo contributing more than half.

China Automobile, which was originally ambitious to conquer the American market, also took the initiative to slow down its progress.

Finally, we will continue to climb the science and technology tree in China as a unit of time, and make up for the missing courses in all key areas as soon as possible.

Retract your fists to form a joint force, and then hit hard to fight back.

Han is the richest man who has started a new round of selling, selling, selling, and selling, and intends to continue to raise the second round of 100 billion yuan of Industry 4.0 industry venture capital funds, and enter certain fields that are controlled by foreign countries and will endanger the country's economic security if the supply is cut off.

Semiconductor core manufacturing equipment such as lithography machines, DRAM reserve chips, domestic CPUs, domestic aircraft engines, and underlying algorithm software for industrial robots are all key investment areas of the new fund. Many of these investments may not return on their laurels for many years, or even fall behind as soon as they are put into production, but they are the guarantee of China's economic security as an industrial backup.

Taking the initiative to remove the crown of the world's No. 1 car sales and taking the initiative to take off the robe of the world's richest man, Han Hao is in order to actively lose weight and develop in a low-key manner, so as to plan a greater goal in the future.
