University Chapter 576 Antitrust Investigation?

Next chapter

Not long after hanging up the phone, Wang Shizi was still pondering, but the phone rang again. ◇↓◇↓ Small ◇↓ said,

Wang Shizi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, this time it was Apple President Tim Cook. Obviously, the presidents of the two major technology companies, which have always had the closest relationship with Star Technology and have deep roots in the United States, have received the news.

The next moment the phone was connected, Tim Cook's figure appeared in front of Wang Shizi, obviously the Apple president is more focused on manners than the Google president, at least Tim Cook is fully dressed, not just wearing pajamas.

"So Mr. Cook, did you also call me to inform me that your country's Federal Trade Bureau will jointly conduct an antitrust investigation against the Star Technology Alliance with the Department of Justice?" Wang Shizi asked straight to the point.

"Huh?" Tim Cook was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Wang, I just got the news too." This time Washington's determination is great. And I've heard that the fuse is because your molecular nutrition pill product happened to collide with a genetically modified rice product that the Federation is about to launch. ”

"Genetically modified rice?" Wang Shizi asked rhetorically.

"That's right!" Tim Cook nodded, "Monsan, the leading genetically modified seed provider in the United States, and the Academy of Biological Sciences have jointly developed a new type of genetically modified rice seed, which is similar to the concept of Star Technology's super nutrition pills, in addition to being able to control pests and high yields, its ingredients also contain almost all the nutrients needed by humans, and the purpose of developing this rice is said to be to solve the world's food problems." According to their internal propaganda, this rice, once it is available, will solve the problem of feeding the poor countries of the whole world. ”

"So our product happens to overlap with the function of this genetically modified rice, which is the direct reason why they can't wait to conduct an antitrust investigation against us?" Wang Shizi said with a headache.

"It's not just overlapping, maybe you'll think you're stealing this information, otherwise it's a coincidence that just a week before they're going to release this genetically modified technology, you released a similar technology......"

"Your comment is not pertinent, in fact, our technology content is much higher than the transgenic technology you just mentioned, and even said that there is no comparison between the two at all. There is no interest in the technology of producing proteins in plants that should not be stored in the zài, and our R&D center is only researching genes to solve the diseases that plague humans, not to artificially alter natural genes. Of course, we never spooped on any so-called classified information, because there was no need for that. Wang Shizi interrupted Tim Cook. It's kind of a rebuttal.

"I naturally believe yours, if you really launch an antitrust investigation against the alliance, Apple is also a victim, believe me, we are on one side. But Wang, you should also know that it is useless to believe it, after all, the anti-monopoly investigation was not initiated by us. We share the hope that this doesn't happen. Tim Cook still looked natural, but his tone sounded helpless.

"Thank you very much for calling me. I pretty much know the specifics. By the way, one last question, was the staff of Star Technology's Washington and New York offices taken away for investigation because of the so-called genetically modified rice? Wang Shizi suddenly changed his words and asked.

"Huh?" Tim Cook was visibly stunned, "Your staff was taken away?" Which department took it? Justice department? F-forced? ”

"It seems that you don't know about this yet, so it's fine. Finally, thank you again, Mr. Cook! Obviously, Wang Shizi didn't plan to say anything more.

"Then I won't waste your time. The news will be officially announced in six hours at the latest. In other words, you have six hours to think about what to do. Tim Cook shrugged his shoulders.

After ending the call, Wang Shizi sat on the sofa and waited, and finally the phone stopped ringing, and then suddenly said: "Okay, don't eavesdrop at the door, come in." ”

The next moment, Tang Sen pushed open the door without the slightest embarrassment and walked in, "Trouble?" ”

"The trouble imaginable, but the timing is a bit surprising." Wang Shizi nodded.

"How much trouble?" Tang Sen spread his hands and said,

He was indeed eavesdropping outside the door just now. However, Wang Shizi used English when communicating with Eric Schmidt and Tim Cook. Originally, Townsend had been in the United States for more than half a year, and his current English level was not bad, at least the general communication problem was not big. But when Wang Shizi communicated with the two presidents, he spoke relatively quickly, and he was eavesdropping, so naturally he didn't know too much, so he only knew a rough idea. Now that he feels that he needs an intelligent secretary, he has also made up his mind to ask Wang Shizi for one later.

"Big trouble. You may not have been paying attention. On February 3 this year, that is, last month, the Allen Institute for Brain Science in the United States, Harvard Medical School, and the Flanders Neuroelectronics Institute jointly released what can be said to be the largest and most detailed study on neuronal connections in the cerebral cortex to date. According to some of the figures disclosed in this report, these three institutions have made significant breakthroughs in the modular structure of the human cerebral cortex, the structural basis of specific functional connections between neurons, and so on, and these findings are enough to support some reverse operations on the human brain. ”

Tang Sen was a little stunned, well, although he didn't hear what these people said just now, he was very sure that neither Eric Schmidt nor Tim Cook had mentioned what Wang Shizi had just said. Although his English skills are not very good, he can still distinguish many words.

What made him even more annoyed was that he didn't understand what Wang Shizi was talking about, "Okay, can you stop saying so many unintelligible terms?" Isn't it just that an American has made a new breakthrough in the study of the brain, what are you doing so much? ”

"Okay, that's what you mean, but this new breakthrough is very significant, and if you give them time to continue researching, it can also solve the problems of blindness and deafness that plague humanity." Wang Shizi explained.

"Wait, you mean, the two surgical techniques released today will be able to do that in the near future? And we did it before them? Tang Sen said suspiciously.

"That's pretty much what it means, and there's so much more you can do with this technology." Wang Shizi nodded. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
