Chapter 720: Letter from Clinton
Although, most of the countries and people in the world know that there is a huge gap between China's current technological strength and that of the United States. However, it is not denied that in the process of China's economic development, some technology companies have some technologies that are also coveted by Americans.
For example, a company like Xinchuang Electronics Group, although it is a Chinese company, the world does not measure Xinchuang Electronics Group by China's average level of science and technology, but believes that Xinchuang Electronics Group is a very powerful company, even if it cannot be compared with all the top companies in Silicon Valley in the United States, but, in terms of comprehensive strength, Xinchuang Electronics Group is equivalent to a small and complete Silicon Valley. On the whole, it is a little behind Silicon Valley in the United States, but if those companies in Silicon Valley, whether IBM or Intel, are compared with the new venture electronics group alone, many people are surprised to find that those technology giants only have advantages in certain specialties. If you simply compare with the new venture electronics group, you can't find any company in Silicon Valley in the United States, with the scale of a company, or the number of patents, can reach the level of the new venture electronics group!
At present, the new venture electronics group registers no less than 50,000 international patents every year, and the patents it holds in hand are close to 500,000. According to the current trend, it is possible for the patents held by Xinchuang Electronics Group to exceed one million!
This is an unprecedented patent maniac, a patent monster!
There is no other company that is as obsessed with registering patents as the New Venture Electronics Group.
"Does the secret behind the theft of new venture technology patents represent the rise of China's power? At least, a company like New Venture Electronics Group can be regarded as the world's top technology giant!" - The Guardian
After all, China has a population 10 times larger than Japan's, and has adopted a policy similar to Japan's 60~80s to subsidize its own enterprises, and if China replicates Japan's economic myth at the beginning, the threat to the United States will be several times greater than Japan's. - Mainichi Shimbun, Japan
"Behind the rapid development of the new venture electronics group, the rapid development of the technology field is the credit of China's national system, we have developed a large number of cheap Chinese university researchers, who are organized to complete the research projects formulated by the new venture electronics group, in a sense, the new entrepreneurship department is formulating China's scientific and technological development plan. Hundreds of thousands of technologists and researchers have been organized by them to ......" -- Wall Street Journal
After the espionage case continued to reveal more details, some rhythm parties in the international community began to bring the rhythm of public opinion in the direction of *****. In this, the Japanese have made a lot of efforts, constantly advocating ***** and the monopoly theory of the new venture electronics group.
You know, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Japan was very depressed because ...... In the early days of the U.S. occupation of Japan, it destroyed Japan's industrial production capacity and dismantled a bunch of Japanese heavy industries and large corporations. All the way up to ...... With the outbreak of the Korean War, Japan's strategic significance increased, and the cost of transporting materials to the United States was not cost-effective, and the time was too slow, so the United States invested in Japan on a large scale and helped Japan restore industrial production. Later, Japan's economy took off in the 60s, but since the 70s, Japan's home appliances, automobiles, steel, shipbuilding, chemicals, semiconductors and other industries have fierce competition with American companies, and many Japanese products have been targeted by the United States for a long time in terms of market share, even exceeding that of American brands.
In the early 90s, in order to avoid continued targeted suppression by the United States, Japan practiced self-castration. We have abandoned the government-led market economy policy with Japanese characteristics. To put it simply, the Japanese government and the chaebol are not separated, and the Japanese government continues to put forward various industrial plans and goals, and then gives a large number of preferential policies, funds, policies, and subsidies to Japanese companies investing in this industry, and continuously tilts towards related industries, which is also the mystery of Japan's post-war economic development period. If you don't let go of this kind of government-led and constantly set goals to encourage your own companies to become the world's best, you will be sanctioned by the United States. Therefore, Japan has chosen to abandon this kind of grand goal of making the whole country working in a certain direction, giving a large amount of policy and financial support to relevant enterprises, and allowing them to develop to the top of the world regardless of the cost. In order to cater to the Americans and reduce trade frictions with the United States, Japan took the initiative to self-emasculate, which led to the complete collapse of Japanese consumer brands other than the automobile industry in the world market in the following decades.
If we look at China's economic development, we will find that the economic models of China and Japan are very similar to each other after the war. They are all led by the government, with a large number of subsidies for domestic enterprises, and after that, the development speed of these enterprises exceeds that of international counterparts, and then, the market share continues to increase, and there are more and more frictions with overseas giants.
But at the end of the day, it is still a long way to go for the United States to truly regard China as an economic rival. You must know that the scale of Japan's economy at this stage is still quite large. It was only after people realized that there were problems in the Japanese economy and began to reflect on it that it took ten or twenty years for many economists to gradually begin to study the causes of Japan's economic stagnation.
In essence, Japan's economic stagnation is either advance or retreat, and at the beginning, Japan pursued prosperity and development after the war, so the country's 100 million people struggled desperately. However, it turned out that if it developed to a certain extent, it might make American dads unhappy and might be wiped out, so after some thought, Japan decided to emasculate itself. This castration was even more ruthless than the post-war castration led by the United States. After the U.S.-led military and political emasculation of Japan, Japan began to focus on the economy. As a result, the economy suffered another "economic defeat", and the United States drew rules and regulations to set a ceiling on Japan. In this way, there will be no goal for the future, and it will naturally be scrapped.
……
Mr. Lin...... A letter from Mr. Clinton, a candidate for the presidency of the United States!" is less than a recall email.
Lin Qi looked at it and said, "Okay, give Clinton a face." ”
When the business is done to the point of Lin Qi, it is inevitable that he will make friends with politicians, and the politics of various countries will be done according to the rules. For example, the North American branch of the new venture has also begun to invest in some politics at the time of the new presidential election. In various ways that seem to have little to do with the new entrepreneurship department, he donated $20 million to the special fund account of Clinton's presidential campaign, which can be said to be the largest sponsorship of Clinton.
Therefore, he also took advantage of this relationship to establish a good relationship with Clinton.
Between American politics and businessmen, this kind of political contribution is considered legitimate, and after receiving political donations, a series of policy rewards will be adopted after taking office. For example, an American businessman asks the government to buy his aging equipment at a high price and replace it with new equipment. In a few years, during the presidency, the machinery will be depreciated, and the enterprises will be sold to private individuals at a low price. This kind of use of taxpayers' money to feed capitalists can also be regarded as American capitalists, who invest according to their ability. After all, investing in a president is also a matter of vision and ability.
Of course, accepting large political donations from foreigners may be targeted by political opponents. Therefore, Lin Qi's investment in Clinton was carried out quietly. Of course, the requirements are also very low, and they only require that the new US administration improve the policy environment for Chinese companies to operate in the United States, especially the new start-up enterprises, only demand that they be treated fairly, rather than deliberately suppressed.
In this regard, Clinton naturally agreed, after all, Lin Qi's request was too easy to fulfill compared to those businessmen sponsored by the United States.
Of course, Clinton's letter is to ask Lin Qi to take care of the espionage case until Clinton takes office, and then sell Clinton's face and let the new president of the United States come forward to get those spies back.
To put it simply, it's still early, but ...... If there are no accidents, Clinton will be the new president of the United States next year.
Although many Clinton people only pay attention to zipper doors and the like, in essence, Clinton is a president who attaches more importance to economic development than to making things out of foreign countries. Several subsequent US presidents were inferior to Clinton anyway. Moreover, compared with other US presidents, Clinton's relations with China have eased considerably during his tenure.
