"Anti-monopoly is a joke, and the real purpose is actually to act as a bandit, to forcibly collect protection money!" Although Lin Qi accepted the fact that he had been investigated by anti-monopoly, and because of his shallow political power in the United States, he could not turn a big thing into a small one, and he could only sacrifice some interests to feed some interest groups in the United States.

However, Lin Qi was still disdainful verbally!

Many idealistic White Lotus companies in the minds of the United States imperialist technology companies have won market share through fair competition, good technology and high investment. But more than that, political power, judicial power, the financial system, and even military power, a series of unconventional forces, are striking at competitors who are crowding out the United States.

Many small countries, which can only use political bargaining, have the advantage of a very small number of industries. A country with a small number of advantageous industries needs the protection of its own government and negotiates with the United States as a major political matter. Only after paying the protection fee is allowed to own a very small number of advantageous products.

It is not necessary for a big country to look at the face of the United States, but the premise of the domestic market can support the sustainability of R&D and production of some industries. And companies that basically rely on the global market are actually difficult to obtain equal negotiation qualifications with the United States. You can only count on whether the United States looks good!

Square jumps like the 80s, and later the trade war with China, are obviously not good-looking.

But at the moment, the United States is not guilty of doing this for just one company or one industry.

However, if you don't want to cut some meat, you probably can't!

Therefore, Lin Qicai said dissatisfiedly that this is a robbery!

"Why do you say that?" Bushnell was a little puzzled.

"What was the purpose of the anti-monopoly law in the first place?" Lin Qi asked.

"Only by protecting consumers and allowing multiple companies to compete can consumers have better choices. Bushnell said without hesitation, "In the case of monopoly, consumers have no bargaining power and can only be slaughtered by merchants." ”

"However, after the introduction of VCDs, performance recorders were better. Originally, the price of the VCR was $1,500, but now our VCD products are only $300!" Lin Qi said, "We have never raised prices, but have been lowering prices, and this has harmed the interests of consumers? In addition, the pharmaceutical industry in the United States is a bunch of competitors, right? There is no such thing as an absolute monopolist? Why, even if Americans use insurance, medical expenses are still expensive in the world. So much so that many Americans even take advantage of tourism to go to Cuban hospitals for surgery?"

Bushnell could not help but be speechless, the pharmaceutical group and the financial group colluded, and this is a larger interest group than the electronic technology industry in the United States. Relatively speaking, the electronics and technology industries, compared with those industries, can really be said to have a good conscience like angels.

The electronics industry and the technology industry have multiple market segments, and the degree of monopoly is very high.

So, monopoly is not necessarily bad for consumers!

The price is expensive not because of monopoly, but because there are too many interest groups. Medical care itself is an interest group, medical capitalization, in order to make profits, it is natural to constantly grab from consumers, even if it is competition, more advertising, not price reduction!

In addition, financial groups and lawyer groups have been involved in medical interests, and there are more and more interest groups, all of which are profiteering and high salaries, and these people have high social status and have a relatively heavy right to speak. Naturally, consumers don't get cheap drugs because of competition from different hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

You know, the common cold medicine in the United States is more than 50 times that of a garbage country like Mexico. The drugs used for the terminal illness are expensive because the demand is low.

But...... Conventional drugs, the most patient drugs on the price increase, the benefit is the greatest. The medical industry in the United States has long raised the price of conventional drugs, whose patents have long expired, to about the same price as those used by terminally ill patients.

"That...... From the perspective of market competition, monopoly enterprises have no incentive to innovate, so ...... Anti-monopoly law avoids the dominance of one company, allows more competitors to emerge, and allows the market to maintain competition and innovation. Bushnell reluctantly explained.

"However, we are the main driving force of innovation! After we monopolized, we continue to take money to invest in technology and patents, various patents and technologies, Xinfei Electronic Technology has always been leading, and cost-effective, beneficial to consumers, and absolute technological superiority, only to form a natural monopoly. Consumers, just vote with their feet. Lin Qi said.

Bushnell was also a little confused for a while, and when he heard such a statement for the first time, he thought about it for a long time before he nodded.

"Lin, your statement is correct, but these explanations are useless, at least, they cannot be used to solve anti-monopoly investigations!"

"I didn't say it was useful, I just vented my frustration privately after being blackmailed. ”

Lin Qi actually knows that once commercial competition is involved in a certain degree of interest, it is not something that can be solved by the market itself.

The 21st century's investigation of Huawei and ZTE is a living example of China's telecom equipment, from scratch. From China's impossibility of making telecommunications equipment, to Huawei's and ZTE's telecommunications equipment occupying half of the global market. Peers in other countries are losers relative to Chinese companies.

Then, a series of crackdowns against ZTE and Huawei began.

In fact, before the Sino-US trade war, ZTE and Huawei continued to investigate and suppress various things. And ZTE was knocked down with a punch, because ZTE is corporate culture is to do a good job in the American market first, and then use the advanced technology of the United States to go back and forth to occupy the Chinese market. Due to the superstition of American technology, ZTE basically preferred the United States for the parts that can be purchased in the world, and the lifeblood has always been to take the initiative to hand over to the United States.

Huawei is better than ZTE in that it has never been treated well by the United States, even in China's own market, it once couldn't do ZTE. However, Huawei continues to insist on R&D, and has gradually developed from low-end to high-end in the third and fourth tier areas in China and overseas underdeveloped countries. Due to the strong sense of crisis, I have been preparing for what to do if someone cuts off the supply of core components and operating systems...... Before the opponent launched such a blow, they had already made a layout in advance and made a lot of preparations. Therefore, during the Sino-US trade war, the United States took advantage of ZTE, not Huawei.

To put it simply, if foreigners take the Chinese to demonstrate, they are definitely not warriors who will not be cut first. Instead, they took some compradors who were easy to take refuge in and took refuge in them, and used them to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. Anyway, the people that foreigners have the most contact with are those who take the initiative to integrate and take refuge, so when they are used to hit the target, they are naturally the easiest to hit and the most familiar target when they know the flaws of the other party.

"Anti-monopoly law is really a problem. Lin Qi frowned, after all, this law is politically correct. Monopoly naturally attracts hatred!

Even if a monopoly enterprise is actually using its monopoly advantage to create benefits for consumers, it is still shouted and killed just because of the monopoly.
