Although he did not make the desired progress in the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, but with the endorsement of Feng Yongwen, Zhou Shuo did not gain nothing.

The other party is a dignified provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking official, Zhou Shuo was able to meet him, and the road was not completely blocked, which was already an acceptable result.

But since it is not possible to fight back by official means, it will be too difficult to force Cisco to comply, or even force the United States to bow its head.

Zhou Shuo came out of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to calm down, and found that there were really not many means at his disposal.

Blackmail with Cisco's remaining markets around the world? If it can be easily won, these markets will not continue to be in the hands of Cisco now.

Or through the import business from the United States, pushing other companies in the United States and Cisco to fight in the ring? This plan may seem feasible, but in reality it is quite difficult.

What's the difficulty? The difficulty lies in the fact that the industrial chain of Panhan Group is self-contained, it is too complete! At present, the products imported by Pan Han Group from the United States are mainly concentrated in raw materials and some finished products.

Such as high-purity quartz and polysilicon raw materials, Corning glass, various scientific instruments and equipment, meteorological precipitation equipment, etc. Then there is the import of intellectual products such as royalties for various patents, technology acquisition costs, and operating expenses for North American research institutes.

Fanhan Group has some cooperation with IBM on graphene, but it is impossible to say that IBM will come forward.

However, Intel and Fanhan Optics are a little incense, but the next generation of lithography machines, Intel is said to have ordered ASML's equipment. To be honest, it is estimated that in Intel's opinion, the Chinese-made lithography machine was used by mistake. It's an unappetizing thing.

Microsoft may be able to help, after all, the two sides are quite harmonious in the cooperation of the six-ear IM. And the six-eared browser also has a lot of browser standard technology patents in its hands. But from Zhou Shuo's point of view, he didn't want Microsoft to interfere in this matter. Seeing that the Netscape empire was born after Zhou Shuo's sideways. It still hasn't consumed Microsoft's step-by-step approach, and it's already sunset at this time. At this point in time, if you go to Microsoft, the other party is likely to reach out to the Six Ears Software Company and shout out the price that Zhou Shuo is unwilling to bear.

As for companies that do business with AOL and Applied Materials, the weight of Pan Han Group is not so great for them.

Instigating the masses to fight the masses, the Fanhan Group may not be able to catch it if it wants to end up directly.

"Old Hu, thank you so much today!"

When Zhou Shuo walked out of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, he still had no plan in his heart. The deep frown made Hu Lao smile and shake his head.

"Do you think this plan to provoke the masses to fight the masses is somewhat difficult?" What kind of person is Hu Lao. Immediately, I thought of Zhou Shuo's heart.

Zhou Shuo was not hypocritical, nodded and admitted: "Don't hide it from Hu Lao, although our Fanhan Group has some contacts with some American companies, but there are not so many ...... who can exert influence in this matter."

"Oh? Tell me about your worries, I don't think the Americans will be monolithic, right? ”

Zhou Shuo said his previous considerations, and Hu Lao nodded while listening, but he was noncommittal. Wait for Zhou Shuo to finish. He groaned and took two steps, then suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Zhou, it is undeniable that your business skills are very good. But when it comes to fighting. You're still a little bit less experienced. ”

Hu Lao laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Heh, although I am also a loser in this regard. But it's a bit of a fool's opinion, would you like to hear it? ”

Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up. Hurriedly nodded and said, "If Hu Lao can give me a few words, of course it is much more clever than I want to be blind." What do you have to build yì. Just say it! ”

"Then I'll talk about it."

Hu Lao was walking to the front of the car at this time, and the business manager of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, who had been in the car, hurriedly trotted out and helped the two open the car door. Zhou Shuo invited Hu Lao into the car, and instructed the business manager to drive aimlessly on the road in the imperial capital city first, and then raised the soundproof glass on the back seat of the car.

"Old Hu, I'm listening." As soon as the preparations were completed, Zhou Shuo was sitting on his lap and asked Hu Lao for advice with a stern expression.

"This instigating the masses to fight the masses, your vision is still a little smaller. I only see the power of big business, but I ignore the views of ordinary people in China! ”

"Ordinary people?" Zhou Shuo wondered: "Will the U.S. Congress change their decision because of Chinese public opinion?" ”

"At any time, do not underestimate the power of ordinary people, the key is to dare to mobilize the masses. In your opinion, if an American company lobbied the US House of Representatives on behalf of the Pan Han Group, it must be exchanged for some benefits. But you forget that sometimes you don't lose but you already gain. ”

"If you don't lose it, you already get it......" Zhou Shuo frowned and thought about it, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said, "You mean?" ”

"Start a trade war that isn't a trade war and drag more U.S. companies in. If they don't want to lose the Chinese market, they have to sacrifice Cisco's interests. And to start a trade war that is not a trade war, the key is—"

"Mobilize the masses!" Zhou Shuo said excitedly.

Hu Lao showed a teachable expression, nodded and said, "How to do it, I think it depends on you in this regard." But remember, there are limits to everything. ”

"I understand, I will not embarrass the country." Zhou Shuo nodded heavily.

After sending Hu Lao away, Zhou Shuo stood in front of the car door and watched Hu Lao's disappearing figure, with a strange and complicated feeling in his heart. Even if a person like Hu Lao retreats from the front line, even if he falls from a high position, his own ability will not disappear. After all, it is a person who once stood in the position of the Council of Elders, and his vision and means are really beyond people's reach.

"Mr. Zhou, where are we going next?"

"Go to ......" Zhou Shuo thought about it, showed a happy smile, stretched his waist and said: "Go to the guest house of the research institute and ask someone to open a room for me, I want to sleep well!" ”

The flight across the Pacific Ocean was already very energy-consuming, and after Zhou Shuo got off the plane, he went to find Hu Lao non-stop to meet Minister Feng Yongwen of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. It's just that I had something in my heart before and couldn't find the direction, so I was full of fire and didn't feel a lack of energy.

Now that we have a clue about things, of course, there is no need to rush into the fire.

The guest house of the Imperial Capital Research Institute of the Panhan Research Institute is of a very high level, and it is basically closed to the public, and the scale is not large. However, the environment is quite good, and it is usually used by heavyweight customers and related customers of Panhan Group, or senior scholars and scientists.

It's a bit similar to the "State Guesthouse", it doesn't matter if you have money, I'm sorry you won't be accepted.

The guest house is not far from the location of the institute, on the edge of the lake in Zizhuyuan Park. A small three-storey building is nestled among greenery, in the style of traditional Chinese design, and is not listed or open to the public. There are only a few cars parked alone in the parking lot in front of the building, but if you look closely, they are all luxury cars.

In addition, there is a small pier jutting into the lake next to the guest house, and there is a painting boat and several speedboats and motorboats docked on the dock, which is very complete in terms of play functions.

An Audi car was quietly parked in the parking lot, a pair of eight-centimeter heels stepped out of the open door, and then a pair of slender and straight thighs stood on the ground. The owner of the shoes and legs held on to the car door and gracefully took off the sunglasses on his face.

"Hehe, your pan-han group's pomp is really big. It is not enough to be able to build a guest house in Zizhuyuan Park. ”

If anyone has paid attention to the news reporters of CCTV, they will definitely recognize this person at a glance. The woman who was talking was clearly the famous news reporter Gong Ju.

"Miss Gong, please come with me." The person who got down from the driver's seat didn't talk to her much, but just stretched out his hand and invited the person into the guest house.

Gong Ju held her head high, I have to say that although she is not an artist who specializes in eating with her beauty, her appearance and temperament are still extremely good. Such an outstanding appearance also provides conditions for her to stand out from the team of reporters. Even the central station will leave the opportunity to those who can make the audience pleasing to the eye.

The sound of tapping and tapping echoes in the corridors of the guest house, which, although only three stories high, still has two elevators. With a ding, the elevator door opened smoothly, and Gong Ju walked out of the elevator.

This is the third floor of the guest house, the beige carpet is spread on the ground, and Gong Ju didn't make a sound when he walked by.

"Miss Gong? Please wait a minute. ”

Gong Ju was politely stopped, someone knocked on the double door in front of her, and only walked in after hearing the agreement inside. After waiting for a while, Gong Ju was allowed to enter the room.

The pomp and circumstance of the CEO of the Panhan Group is too big, right? Gong Ju pouted angrily, she had interviewed many celebrities and high-ranking officials, but she had not seen one who dared to play with her like this. In her heart, after a little thought, she labeled the person she hadn't met as an upstart, and only the nouveau riche who didn't know the height of the sky would be so rude to the uncrowned king, right?

Gong Ju was curiously introduced to this room, which was obviously different from the other rooms, and the double door opened in front of her, and a room with a rather simple and modern decoration appeared in front of her.

In the living room, which is about forty or fifty square meters, a young-looking man sits on the sofa in the middle. He was wearing a loose home suit, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and from his expression, it was obvious that he was comfortable and comfortable after getting enough rest.

Seeing Gong Ju walk in, he smiled and pointed to the opposite side of him and said, "Reporter Gong? You may be seated. (To be continued......)
