Chapter 992 in the name of national security

When does the word "monopoly" come from Bill? When Gates came out of his mouth, Liu Shiqing sounded somewhat funny. Before the establishment of Galaxy Software, the recognized monopoly in the global IT industry was Microsoft Corporation. Even now, Galaxy's influence in the world, especially in the Western world, is still not comparable to Microsoft.

Even the U.S. Department of Justice once had trouble getting along with Microsoft, and once considered forcibly dismantling Microsoft, just like splitting Rockefeller's Mobil Oil Company into 37 regional oil companies, and dismembering Microsoft, only later because of Microsoft's successful public relations, the U.S. Department of Justice gave up, but for this, Microsoft also paid a lot of price.

In Europe, the EU Fair Competition Commission is not soft on Microsoft, which has been fighting a lawsuit with the EU for many years, and finally bowed its head, not only paid a large fine, but also had to uninstall many functional modules in the Wind operating system in accordance with the requirements of the European Union, and then sell them in the EU market.

In contrast, since the establishment of Galaxy Industry, in China, there has not been a single media or government department that accuses Galaxy Industry of monopoly, even abroad, there are many media that accuse Galaxy Industry of monopoly, but there is no country where the judicial department of Galaxy Industry has put Galaxy Industry in the anti-monopoly dock.

Bill? Gates didn't seem to see the trace of sarcasm in Liu Shiqing's eyes, he still said with a flat face: "I don't know what Liu Shiqing thinks, I'll guess it." Mr. Liu may not admit that Galaxy has monopolistic behavior at all, or Mr. Liu is not afraid of being accused of monopoly. In addition, in order to create a favorable environment for the development of Galaxy Industrial, your government has privately promised not to investigate and accuse Galaxy Industry of monopoly aspects. Mr. Liu, if you object, I would like to analyze with you the situations I guessed. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, grudges aside, it is undeniable that it is Bill? Gates is indeed one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time, no matter how much he has contributed to the specific operation of Microsoft, he is one of the founders of Microsoft, and he is the one who created the Microsoft empire.

Bill? Gates said: "Whether a company is a monopoly or not is not up to the company itself, nor does it mean that a government has made any promises in private to deny that it is a monopoly." There are clear international norms for the definition of monopoly, and there may be some subtle differences in the judicial interpretations of various countries around the world, but the general trend is the same.

Mr. Liu, you do not admit that you are engaging in monopoly, or your government does not admit that Galaxy Industry is engaging in monopoly, but you cannot prevent the United States or the European Union or Japan, Russia and other countries and regions from identifying your company or a subsidiary of your company as a monopoly. Let's take an obvious example, your company's strong body drink is the only one in the world, and the domestic price in China is significantly lower than the international price, which is a very typical monopolistic behavior.

I've personally been in contact with many legal experts and agree with that. Of course, I don't mean to accuse this kind of behavior, but I'm just giving an example. Mr. Liu, at this time, it doesn't work for you to deny it. As long as the legal provisions are not changed, there is no way to deny the fact that Galaxy Industry is monopolizing. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, does Galaxy Industry have a monopoly, he knows it, but it won't be because of Bill? Gates bluntly pointed out the incident, and was busy denying it.

Bill? Gates continued: "Since monopoly exists, and it is possible to be recognized as a monopoly by judicial departments outside of China, it also means that one day, the development of things will be out of your control. Mr. Liu, frankly speaking, the conflict between Galaxy Industry and the EU is not replicable and cannot be repeated in the future.

The relationship between Galaxy Industry and the EU, in my personal opinion, will be resolved sooner or later, no matter who makes key concessions on both sides, anyway, in the near future, it will be transformed from the current Cold War state into a more normal relationship. Once the two of you have converted into a normal relationship, then Galaxy Industry will lose a lot of capital invisibly.

The reason is that after the transformation into a normal state, Galaxy Industry will definitely do business with the EU, export a large number of products to the EU, import a lot of equipment and goods, and you may also have to invest in EU member states, as long as this process lasts for a few years, Galaxy Industry and the EU will be very deeply entangled in interests, and Galaxy Industry's assets in the EU will reach a very considerable number, at that time, Galaxy Industry will not have any initiative on the issue of monopoly or not. What the EU says, that's what it is.

If you imagine slapping the table and glaring at the EU as you are now, it's impossible. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the assets and personnel of Galaxy Industry in the EU. At that time, these assets and personnel did not mean that they could be withdrawn from the EU if they wanted to, and even if the Chinese government supported you, it would not have much effect.

A few years ago, your company had a conflict with the European Union, the European Union released people and goods briskly, and the Chinese government exerted pressure, which is only one of them, and the main reason is that the value of the goods they seized is not much, and there are only a few personnel. Buckled, there is no meaning, and it may offend the Chinese government, but once the development of Galaxy Industry in the EU is very deep, then the EU will definitely hold on and not let go, there are many things, there are many people, that is the only bargaining chip, it is impossible to let go. When that time comes, Mr. Liu, what are you going to do? ”

Liu Shiqing gasped, he really didn't think about it so long-term, if things really went according to Bill? Gates said so, then in the future, Liu Shiqing and Galaxy Industry will definitely lose the initiative and hand over this power to others.

Bill? Gates smiled faintly, "Maybe Mr. Liu can always maintain a cold war with the EU and never normalize relations with the EU." But this approach is not worth the loss, Mr. Liu, you ask yourself, are you really willing to never enter the EU market?

The EU is one of the richest markets in the world, and over the years, your company has not had a good relationship with the EU, blaming the EU and the German government, which seems to be very happy, but in fact, Galaxy Industry has suffered a lot of economic losses. At the very least, if you can't export your products to the EU and make money from Europeans, you will lose a lot of money.

At the beginning, the EU accused us of Microsoft monopoly, and we Microsoft could follow your company's example and withdraw from Europe completely, but we did not do this, but chose to negotiate with the EU and fight a lawsuit with them, and in the end, we still have to pay a fine to the EU. This is not only because we already have a lot of investment in the EU, but also because we don't like to lose the huge market of the EU. ”

Bill? Gates's words gave Liu Shiqing another angle to think about, it is true that relations with the EU have deteriorated in recent years, and Galaxy Industry has fully withdrawn from the EU market. Not to mention anything else, in terms of strong drinks alone, the annual income is hundreds of billions of Chinese coins. That's a big deal.

Bill? Gates added: "The possibility I mentioned can also be avoided, that is, we will never normalize relations with the EU and maintain the current Cold War status." Or if relations are normalized, trade with EU member states remains at a relatively low level, and no investment in the EU is made in any way. These two approaches, not to mention its prospects, let's put it another way, Galaxy Industry can do this in the EU market, and in the US market, should it also do this?

If the U.S. judicial department accuses Galaxy of monopoly, initiates an investigation into Galaxy Industrial, and seizes the goods and personnel of Galaxy Industrial, Mr. Liu, what are you going to do? Moreover, if all countries in the world follow the US government and launch anti-monopoly investigations against Galaxy Industry, will Galaxy Industry have to follow the same practice in the EU market, shrink back from the world market, and only do business with Chinese people? ”

Liu Shiqing gasped again, this problem has always been ignored by him, he has been pursuing in various fields, conquering the city, and occasionally thinking about how he should deal if the United States and other countries launch a monopoly investigation on Galaxy Industrial. However, his perspective on the problem has always been very subjective, and he is only willing to think on the bright side, and he really did not think that if the US government really tears its face, even if it is a trade war, it will have to conduct an anti-monopoly investigation on Galaxy Industry, and at that time, how should Galaxy Industry respond?

This kind of thing is done by the Americans. At that time, Galaxy Industry was on the cusp, even if the Chinese government supported Galaxy Industry, Galaxy Industry would inevitably suffer a lot of losses. After all, Galaxy Industry has subsidiaries in the United States, and the flow of funds in the American market is also a very objective figure, which is equivalent to the Americans pinching a lifeline of Galaxy Industry.

Of course, there is also a solution, which is to solve the problem by force. However, this solution, unless it is a last resort, Liu Shiqing will not choose, he is just a small citizen who has no interest in fighting. If the world is ruined, Galaxy Industry will still do business there, whose money will he make?

Liu Shiqing's expression was straight, and he said in a serious tone: "Mr. Gates, why teach me?" ”

Bill? Gates secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that when Liu Shiqing said this, it meant that Liu Shiqing had accepted, at least partially, his statement, and the problem he came to Liu Shiqing to solve this time also had the possibility of solving. "Mr. Liu, there are two old sayings in Huaxia that can be used to solve the dilemma that Galaxy Industry may face in the future."

"Those two sentences, please also ask Mr. Gates to teach." Liu Shiqing asked.

Bill? Gates stretched out two fingers, "The first sentence, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. In the second sentence, take a step back and open the sky and endure the calm for a while. ”

"Take a step back and open the sky?" Liu Shiqing kept reading this sentence in his mouth, savoring the taste of it.

Bill? "The dogs were killed because the rabbits were gone," Gates said. If the rabbit were still there, the dog wouldn't have been killed. In the field of anti-monopoly, this law is actually also existing, if those weak companies still have a way to survive and a chance to survive, the possibility of strong companies being sued for monopoly will be relatively small, and if there are several strong companies in the market at the same time, then even if one of them is stronger than all other companies, the possibility of being sued for monopoly is also very small. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, Bill? Gates said it so plainly, if he didn't understand it, it would be an elm head.

"Mr. Liu, I have said so much, in fact, I just want to tell you that our Microsoft company's storage zài is beneficial to the development of Galaxy Industry, and similarly, as well as Inel Company, AD Company, etc., our deposit zài, will be the most important evidence to prove that Galaxy Industry is not a monopoly, which is very necessary for Galaxy Industry to please face monopoly accusations in the future, to avoid the threat of being forcibly split, etc. Of course, if it is possible, as competitors, if we can cooperate in a certain field, then in the future, when Galaxy Industry faces antitrust charges, we can also serve as witnesses and provide favorable witness testimony for Galaxy Industry. ”

Bill? Gates finally stated the main purpose of his visit, and the big analysis of "monopoly" he mentioned earlier is nothing more than to pave the way for this purpose.

Liu Shiqing has to admit that Bill, who is sixty-three years old? Gates is still a character that cannot be ignored, and his analysis hits the heart of Liu Shiqing and Galaxy Industry at once. If there is no Bill? Gates's analysis, but as soon as he came up, he proposed to cooperate with Galaxy Industry to achieve the goal of "boycott", even if Liu Shiqing agreed, it would be a perfunctory verbal statement, and he would not seriously consider Bill as he is now? Gates's mention yì.

Bill? Gates observed his words and saw that Liu Shiqing was a little moved, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "Mr. Liu, there is actually no harm in cooperating with us." There is one thing, you should also be able to imagine, like our Microsoft company, as well as Inel company, AD company, etc., as long as we do not have irreparable mistakes in business operations, then we are impossible to go out of business, no matter how strong the development of Galaxy Industry is, it is impossible to crush us, the reason is very simple, the US government needs us to operate, and the EU also needs us to operate. This is just like the Silver Mountain Company in your country before the establishment of Galaxy Software, and your government will not sit idly by and watch us collapse or annex Silver Mountain Company. I won't say why. ”

Bill? Although Gates didn't say it, Liu Shiqing also knew what was going on, it was nothing more than the so-called "national security", and there were many examples of this.

For example, the GP navigation system dominated by the Americans used to be unimpeded all over the world, but over the years, the development of GP in the international community has not been smooth, because China has launched the Big Dipper navigation system, the Europeans have launched the Galileo navigation system, and the Russians have launched the GLONASS navigation system, all three of which are effective alternatives to the GP navigation system.

The reason why everyone has developed a satellite navigation system, in addition to the huge economic interests hidden behind it, the most important thing is to consider security, if the United States and China military conflict breaks out, or relations deteriorate, the Americans cut off the GP navigation service to China, then for all the vehicles and equipment that use the GP navigation system in China, it will be a huge disaster, 100 percent will be paralyzed, even if the Americans do not cut off the relevant services, they can also use the GP navigation system, along the wayIt searches for all vehicles and equipment that use GP navigation systems in China, and then uses various means to carry out precision strikes on these equipment and vehicles.

In addition, the reason why many of China's IT equipment, including routers, personal computers, etc., have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the United States, India, the United Kingdom and other places is that these foreigners have set up obstacles in the name of "national security". In China, before Galaxy Industry, the security concerns about the Inel processor and Wind operating system have not stopped, but because Huaxia cannot find a corresponding replacement in China, it can only let the Inel processor and Wind operating system have been sold in a grand manner.

Many of the products of Galaxy Industry are high-tech products, and many of these products can set up secret doors, even if Liu Shiqing and Galaxy Industry use their personality to ensure that all products are safe and harmless, foreigners, especially those foreigners who are wary of Huaxia, will always have scruples. In normal times, it may not be visible, but when it is at a critical moment, these concerns will become superficial and intense, and at that time, it is time for foreigners to encircle and suppress the products of Galaxy Industry or carry out cold violence.

Like Bill? As Gates said, it is simply impossible for Galaxy to eliminate Microsoft and Inel. Americans and Europeans will not sit idly by, don't look at the EU to fine Microsoft and Inel, they will not be soft at all, but they will never sit idly by and watch a Chinese company crush them.
