This is undoubtedly the biggest crisis that NB Electric has encountered since its establishment.

As soon as he received a call from Wu Jinhua, the group's chief executive officer, and Henry Pearce, president of the Americas Company, he immediately packed his bags and rushed to Moscow to take a direct flight to the United States to Washington.

The group's headquarters was investigated, and Henry Pierce was asked to go to Capitol Hill to be questioned by the special commission of inquiry, and he actually held a science fiction novel by the American writer Asimov like a no-brainer, and read it with relish.

Xia Yao was so anxious that he couldn't eat a mouthful of food from last night to now, and couldn't help asking, "It's almost frying in Hong Kong, aren't you worried at all?" ”

The charter put down the English version of "The Eternal Doom" and said casually: "What is the use of worrying, it will always come." ”

"Brother-in-law and eldest sister don't know if they have arrived in Washington, they must be in a hurry."

"Let them not go, they want to go, what can I do?"

"I knew that Lu Dao was like this, it was better not to engage in NB medical treatment," Xia Yao sighed lightly and said worriedly: "It's good now, NB medical is not counted as being investigated, and even other businesses are affected." Or you can call Angela after you get off the plane and ask her to help you figure it out. ”

The charter shook his head and said lightly: "She can't help, and we don't need her help, if we can't even solve this little problem, how can the group talk about development?" ”

"Husband, it's not that I'm talking about discouragement, so many countries have blacklisted us, it's good to be able to maintain the status quo!"

I have to admit that Uncle Sam is indeed very good.

It has only been three days since the outbreak of the "NB incident", and more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Spain, and Italy, have been in the world. At the same time, we have paid close attention to the branches of NB Electric in their respective countries. Especially customs. Almost all NB Electric's containers must be opened and inspected.

Hong Kong and Chinese employees of NB Electric branches. They are regarded as "spies" sent by the Chinese government, and those who want to behave in front of Uncle Sam are simply investigated on "trumped-up" charges or deported as persona non grata.

The group headquarters was in turmoil, and the companies in the Americas, Europe and Australia were panicked, and agents and distributors were afraid to avoid it and removed NB electrical products from the shelves. And make one statement or another, trying to dissociate itself from NB Electric.

Even the governments of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which have always had a good relationship with NB Electric, said they could not help this.

Thinking of this, the charter looked at the night outside the porthole of the plane and sighed softly: "It's really shooting yourself in the foot, see how they end?" ”

"They, husband, do you mean Jianggong?"

"It's not about Jianggong, don't worry, things will be properly resolved, NB Electric is not so vulnerable."

"Really?" Xia Yao will be skeptical.

"Why am I lying to you?"

Charter smiled. He confidently said, "Something like this will happen sooner or later." For us, it's better to happen earlier than later. Just like some infectious diseases, as long as they can be cured, antibodies will be produced in the body, and if the same infectious disease breaks out in the future, there is no fear of being re-infected. ”

"But what if it can't be cured?"

"If we can't cure it, it's over, but our immunity is very strong, and this little illness is nothing to us."

"If it weren't that serious, we could rush to Washington?"

To Xia Yao's surprise, the charter actually asked: "Wife, don't you think this is an opportunity to promote the group?" The U.S. government helped us publicize, so the multimedia rushed to report, making everyone known and well-known, after this incident is over, the people of developed countries in Europe and the United States can't remember our NB Electric.

Seriously, if I had known that such a thing would happen in Lu Dao and what kind of 'NB incident' would have happened, I would definitely not have asked Mr. Wu to fund the Barcelona Olympics. By the way, I heard that the Barcelona Organising Committee is not having a good time right now, and if they can return the money to us, even if it is only half of it, I will be awakened laughing when I fall asleep. ”

Xia Yao was made laughable, shook his head again and again, and said: "It's all like this, you are still poor and happy, I really don't know what you think." ”

"This is called the spirit of revolutionary optimism, what's the use of being sad, do you want to see me cry?"

"I don't want to see you cry, but I don't want to see the group collapse like this. Husband, it is not easy for you to earn this family business, and in your words, NB Electric has developed to this day is no longer the NB Electric of you, your brother-in-law and eldest sister, but the NB Electric of more than 10,000 colleagues around the world. If we really can't overcome this hurdle, we can still have food and clothing, but what about so many colleagues? Let them lose their jobs? ”

The charter nodded slightly, and while stroking her little hand, he said meaningfully: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time, which is not a test for all colleagues. If you choose to find another job, we will not keep it. Those who choose to stay with us in weal and woe will be reused in the future. ”

"Big waves?"

"It seems to me that it is a big wave of gold, there is talent, but there is not much gold, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to find out what shines in it."

Thinking of the miracles he had created one after another in just six years, Xia Yao's confidence in him seemed to have returned, and he suddenly asked, "Husband, you just said that you expected such a day?" ”

"Yes," the charter confirmed with a smile, "not only did I expect it, but the group management also expected it, can you spare no effort to build a laboratory and find a way to produce results?" It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so early, and it would happen at NB Medical. ”

"What do you do when you get to Washington?"

"Since Uncle Sam is willing to toss, let's toss with him for a while. People are aggressive and ambitious, so let's lower our posture and let them vent. Of course, there will be losses, but those losses are nothing compared to the advertising effect they bring. ”

Xia Yao asked with a bitter face: "Let them be angry?" ”

"Hmm. He is a police officer in the world world. Fists are hard. We hold so many shares of them, and we will make their money in the future, and we can't afford to offend, we can't offend, so we can only lose a smile. ”

"What if people don't give us up and have to bring us down?"

The charter pretended to ponder for a moment, and said with a smile: "Has Toshiba collapsed?" No! To deal with them, you have to use their methods, isn't it just throwing money. Invite a few more lobbyists to Capitol Hill, so many senators and representatives, there will always be someone willing to speak for us. As for the British, hmph, God will clean them up, don't believe you wait and see, it won't take two months, and you will definitely be punished. ”

"The curse can't solve the problem, it's good to be serious, and even the retribution has come out."

looked at her and frowned again. The charter simply leaned into her ear and whispered, "Put a hundred and twenty hearts, the Yankees will take us." Because our CT machine doesn't use an array processor at all! ”

Xia Yao was stunned for a moment, and then asked ecstatically, "Really?" ”

"Really, absolutely."

Guild forced a smile, and explained in a low voice in Nanbin dialect, which she could barely understand: "AP (array processing machine) is a key technology that is strictly blocked and monopolized by foreign countries, and if AP is not broken, Jianggong's research and development will come to a standstill." And the price is expensive, so after nearly a month and a half of discussion and research, the R&D team innovatively replaced AP with PC, which not only realized the technical breakthrough of the CT core system, but also created a new revolution in CT technology.

The Yankees didn't expect it, and the person who reported it didn't expect it, and he was reluctant to spend money to buy one and take it back to take it apart, so it caused the current situation. The hole cards are in our hands, how to play, when to play, completely up to us. In a word. The show has just begun, and the next step is to come. ”

Xia Yao stroked his chest and said with relief: "I'm scared to death, I even hid it!" ”

"It's not that I'm trying to hide it from you, but I'm thinking about how to get the most out of it."

"Does President Henry know what to say?"

The charter smiled evilly and said: "He doesn't know how to do it, how can he know this?" In fact, in addition to a few after-sales service personnel in the Gulf and Southeast Asia, several colleagues from abroad who participated in the CT research and development at the NB laboratory in Berlin, as well as several engineers at the Leipzig plant, knew about it. And as soon as Mr. Wu received a call from Henry, he recalled all of them, and a gag order was also issued in China, just waiting to see their jokes. ”

Xia Yao was confused again, and asked puzzledly: "Since we are not afraid of the accusations of the US government at all, then we are in such a hurry to rush to Washington that we don't even participate in the scientific expedition." ”

"Didn't you say it just now, Uncle Sam has a hard fist, we can't offend, and we can't afford to offend, but we can't just be bullied for nothing, we have to let him give an explanation. How to grasp this scale, how to grasp the heat, I really don't feel at ease if I don't go to Washington, after all, this is related to the future development of the group. ”

"Also, it's really not safe to come.

At the same time, in a courtyard in the western suburbs of BJ, the old man who had inspected the NB laboratory half a year ago was also worried about NB Electric, and after listening to the report of the vice premier, he shook his head and said: "We will only help if we express our position now, wait and see what happens, and let them deal with it themselves." ”

The embargo imposed by Western countries on China began with the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Due to their ideological differences, the capitalist countries led by the United States are very hostile to socialist China. This embargo reached a small climax during the Korean War. With the establishment of the Warsaw Pact, a bloc military confrontation between the East and the West began. Since then, Western countries, led by the United States, have stepped up their embargo on China.

By the end of the 60s, the United States and the Soviet Union had basically formed a strategic balance.

The United States began to adjust its global strategy in an attempt to improve relations with China. With the improvement of relations between the United States and China, especially the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, the embargo on China by Western countries has been loosened to a certain extent. Especially during the initial honeymoon period, the United States and other Western countries even began to export more advanced technology to China.

However, the honeymoon period is a honeymoon period after all, and with the changes in the situation in the world, even if the riots did not occur in June of the previous year, the Western countries led by the United States would resume the policy of blockade.

The "NB incident" is not only aimed at NB Electric, but also against the Chinese government.

Although the deputy premier clearly understood that his current statement would not solve any problems, he still asked thoughtfully: "But if you don't take a stand, won't you confirm the accusations of the United States?" ”

The old man weighed it, still shook his head and said: "Let's figure out the situation first, if NB Electric really purchased that equipment through some channels, it would be useless to express its position." ”

The deputy prime minister sighed secretly and said helplessly: "The comrades of the embassy in the United States have reported very clearly that the array processing machine is the core equipment of the CT machine, and the CT machine cannot be used without it. Before I came, I asked a few experts from the Ministry of Health, and they said the same thing. Chief, we can't even wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”

"I can't wash it, why do you need to wash it?"

The old man lit a cigarette and said step by step: "There are two sides to everything, whether it is good or bad, it depends on which angle to measure." NB Electric can pass this hurdle, and everyone is happy. No, there is no loss to the country, in my opinion, the United States and Britain are helping us, helping us to push NB Electrical and NB Laboratory into the country. ”

The scientific research strength of the NB laboratory is obvious to all, and the vice premier reacted, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again: "The chief is right, it's not a bad thing for us, wait and see what happens, and then help them when they are in trouble."
