"Add, where is the A27-A36 metal sealing ring in the vacuum chamber?"

In Western Europe, Professor Rupert was wearing a hard hat to direct the construction of the core area of the demonstration reactor, and the sound and light interference at the construction site during this time had already made him a little bit of a syndrome.

But there was an accident today, the 9 core sealing rings of the vacuum chamber were originally scheduled to be sent 1 hour ago, but they have not been sent until now, and there are 9 core sealing components missing, and a lot of work in the vacuum chamber cannot be carried out.

"Professor, I called 5 minutes ago, and I said wait a minute, I'll ask again now."

Eddie, who was also wearing a hard hat, also looked anxious, turned around and ran towards the place where the phone was stored.

"Let's assemble the magnetic field coil set outside the stellar first, so that we can assemble it on the stellar simulator more quickly later."

Professor Rupert suppressed the anger in his heart and instructed the engineers present to complete the outer magnetic field coil set first.

"Professor Rupert, the mechanical control parts of the external magnetic field coil have not been sent today, so we can only wait." A group of engineers looked at each other and said helplessly.

“fuck！ Did all the shit-eating suppliers of this group of bitches crash today? Professor Rupert finally couldn't hold back and cursed without the image of a scholar.

He is a scientist, he is an expert in stellarics, he is good at giving solutions, giving parameter data one by one, and he is good at solving technical problems rather than directing construction.

However, after the person in charge of the on-site command took the detailed drawings that could not be more detailed for three days, but was still asking what it was, how to carry out the construction, and what the above parameter data meant, Professor Rupert could only go in person and give the original on-site command engineer enough time to study the plan......

Why is this happening, because the scheme has been changed.

This was not the case with the original core area, and the engineers and on-site construction commanders had been studying and familiarizing themselves with the first option.

But when Lu Yi "inadvertently" revealed another plan that could save more than $400 million a year in operating costs, Max Planck Labs and the master behind it couldn't resist the temptation and changed the plan.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Max Planck Lab did not know the actual progress of Lu Yi's side at that time, and if they knew the actual progress, they would probably be more cautious when changing the plan.

Later, they knew that Lu Yi was chasing after him, but they were already difficult to ride a tiger, so they could only bite the bullet.

"Professor, no!"

After waiting for a few minutes, Eddie, who went out to make a call, ran back in a hurry and shouted: "The company of the supplier of the A27-A36 metal sealing ring was acquired yesterday, and the supplier who produces mechanical control parts for external magnetic field coils and provides system drives was also merged, as well as ......"

"And what?" Professor Rupert's heart trembled, and a face subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"And 4 suppliers responsible for pressurized water reactor components were also acquired yesterday, and I don't know very well about the components they are involved in, but these 6 companies have issued a unified announcement, saying that the company has just completed the restructuring and needs to suspend the business first, and then restart after the company completes the finishing, during which the agreement involving breach of contract please contact for compensation."

After Eddie's hurried matter, there is no doubt that someone is deliberately targeting and trying to delay the construction progress of the demonstration reactor.

"Lu Yi! Lunatic! It must be his madman! ”

Professor Rupert looked at the demonstration pile, whose construction had stalled due to the lack of key components, and his face was a little pale, and he felt powerless......

"The latest urgent news is now broadcast, at 3:20 p.m. Beijing time, 38 countries including the European Union, the United States, and India jointly announced that they will launch an anti-monopoly investigation into Tomorrow Group......

"After a preliminary assessment by relevant experts, in response to the anti-monopoly investigation in 38 countries, Tomorrow Group may face a huge fine of more than 20 billion US dollars......"

"The latest information, affected by the news that 38 countries launched anti-monopoly investigations on Tomorrow Group at the same time, the relevant strategic partners of Tomorrow Group, ZTE and the three major operators suffered from capital panic selling, and the stock price that has been rising recently plummeted by more than 40%, and the related market value evaporated by more than 800 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

"The Ministry of Commerce of the United States said that the serious monopolistic behavior of the Tomorrow Group proves the potential serious safety risks of the Huaguo Company, and the Ministry of Commerce will increase the investigation of the Huaguo Company in the future, and does not rule out the means of launching the relevant ban to restrict the development again......"

On September 11th, just as everyone was preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival two days later, a few news items pushed by major news apps in the afternoon completely ignited the pre-holiday anticipation and harmonious atmosphere.

"Oh my God! 38 countries launched anti-monopoly investigations at the same time, and a huge fine of more than 20 billion US dollars may be exceeded. Why haven't I heard about it? ”

"ZTE ban, is the trade war coming again? Lao Mi, this is a problem-solving play! ”

"I know a little bit about the news of Tomorrow Group, everyone can watch the film so quickly now, almost all thanks to the blessing of Tomorrow Group, their current product is only one, that is, the compression chip that has set off the reform of communication standards.

Without it, even if it is a 5G network, everyone's network speed will not be so fast, because there are too many users and too much data will cause data transmission congestion.

However, this chip not only optimizes the amount of communication data from the mobile phone to the base station, but also reduces the amount of data between the communication network and the server. ”

"Wait, compression chip, didn't Lu 10 billion make this thing?

This guy has become the richest man in China but has been picking on the door, and the second generation of the king often sends lottery draws around his neck, and he has nothing else to ...... except for some nuclear fusion project information and inconsequential life information."

"Is the one who compares Chief Engineer Lu with Wang Erdai mentally retarded, I admit that Wang Erdai is not bad, but before you say this, ask Wang Erdai if his father is qualified to be stupid compared with others, don't always go out and forget to bring your tofu brain!"

"Yes, now I only powder Chief Engineer Lu, and I don't think I can compare to our Chief Engineer Lu when I stack two horses together!"

"That's it, there is always a mentally retarded Lu Lu husband who is hacking us!"

"That angry brother, I'm afraid you forgot to add a few more dog head expressions, but it can be seen from this that you are indeed mentally retarded/dog head/dog head"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Hong Kong stock market closed, and the stock prices of ZTE and the three major operators not only did not rebound, but further expanded the decline, falling by more than 50 percent and directly halved.

At this time, Tomorrow Group, which has not been silent in the domestic media, suddenly issued a live press conference, and Li Yashan made a public appearance in the media for the first time and issued a statement on the anti-monopoly investigation.

Li Yashan in the camera looked a little tired, although she had expected this anti-monopoly investigation when she started the merger and acquisition a few days ago, but the impact of the sudden outbreak of the 38-nation joint investigation still made her almost unresponsive, and the phone calls from local market partners were even more haggard.

"What do you think they'll choose?"

Tomorrow Group used special channels to avoid censorship, and the six brothers and sisters who had successfully smuggled into China looked at Li Yashan's figure on the screen, and Rodney asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know, I just know that this group company is backed by one of the three major countries in the world, a country with a population of 13, so it won't go bankrupt."

The boss of the company who bought the sealing ring and ran away shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

Although they were very unhappy with the Tomorrow Group forcing them to sell the company, the natural positive humor of the foreigners still made them quickly adjust their mood, the most important thing is that the country of China is too friendly to them.

"I also don't think I'm going to go bankrupt, so I'm more curious about what they'll choose."

Rodney looked at the screen and said curiously: "The technology patents held by Tomorrow Group involve the communication industry, which is a basic industry for people's livelihood, and this anti-monopoly investigation is a big trouble for Tomorrow Group, but if it is not good, it will also give those people a headache." ”

"Let's stop discussing it, she's talking!"

"At 3:20 p.m. Beijing time, 38 countries including the European Union, the United States, and India jointly launched an anti-monopoly investigation on Tomorrow Group......"

Li Yashan paused for half a second when she said this, and then said: "In response to this anti-monopoly investigation, we will accept the fine without objection to the fine in accordance with local laws and regulations."

From now on......"

Here it comes!

Seeing Li Yashan pause again, everyone's attention subconsciously mentioned the highest, they knew that Tomorrow Group did constitute a monopoly, so the anti-monopoly fine was destined to be inescapable, but the amount of this fine was to be studied, and it would be finalized according to the reaction of Tomorrow Group.

Whether it is the maximum fine prescribed by law, or the medium fine, or the minimum amount that does not hurt, the next trend of this largest antitrust case in the history of the world will be reflected in Li Yashan's next words.

Not only Rodney subconsciously increased their attention, but people in the whole country and even the world who were concerned about this matter also subconsciously held their breath at this time, waiting for Li Yashan's next words.

In the screen, Li Yashan paused for two seconds this time, and then took a deep breath, her eyes were a little red, and she said firmly in a trembling voice: "From now on, Tomorrow Group will fully withdraw from the international market, and only retain the market operations in China, Hong Kong and Macao.

In addition, Tomorrow Group has officially applied for loans to major banks in China half an hour ago, with all the patents of compression chips and the stellar-mimic related technology mastered by Tomorrow Lab as collateral, and a loan of 300 billion yuan to solve the next anti-monopoly fines and liquidated damages......"

"Crazy! It's really insane! ”

Li Yashan was putting the finishing touches on making everyone believe in the process of Tomorrow Group, but Rodney and the others didn't hear it clearly, and the word crazy was flashing in their minds.

"Rodney, according to the business volume involved in Tomorrow Group, how much will be the maximum antitrust fine under the law?"

Gerald, the brother who sold the sealing ring, turned his head and asked Rodney, Li Yashan said Chinese they didn't understand, but this live broadcast seemed to consider that there would be a large number of foreign friends, so it was very friendly to display English subtitles synchronously.

"More than $35 billion, probably between $37 billion and $39 billion." Rodney was also a little confused.

The dignity of the country cannot be provoked, whether it is a hooligan like the United States or other third world countries, in the face of the violent temper of the Tomorrow Group and the direct and comprehensive withdrawal from the market, there will be no mercy, and the issuance must be the maximum fine limited by the law.

As for the people's livelihood issues involved in the communication industry, the network speed of 5G is actually enough for the time being, so that the compression chip is missing, although it will be very unhappy to look at the network speed on the Chinese side, but the national level controls public opinion for a period of time, this matter can only be regarded as a little headache, and it will be over after being scolded by the people for a while.

"One thing that you're missing is their cooperation in various places, and the total amount involved in this market retreat default is conservatively estimated to be no less than $20 billion."

The previous boss who sells the core components of PWRs added that everyone was completely shocked by the decision of Tomorrow Group.

"I really didn't expect that there really be such a crazy person in this world, the boss of this group company who has been living in the laboratory is a crazy person, and the actual president of its operation, that beautiful lady, is also so crazy."

Rodney smiled a little wryly, he initially estimated that Lu Yi's loss would reach 30 billion when he crossed the line this time, but he didn't expect that in the face of the anti-monopoly investigation, the reaction of Tomorrow Group would be so fierce, and he directly announced a complete withdrawal from the market.

An antitrust investigation, a grumpy total exit from the market, involving as much as $60 billion, is unprecedented in business cases, and will not necessarily appear in the next 100 years.

Rodney: They can estimate the loss of Tomorrow Group, and some capable experts on the Internet can also estimate this loss based on the business volume involved in Tomorrow Group.

Within two minutes of Li Yashan's completion of the live press conference, the loss of $60 billion spread wildly on the Internet.

"Oh my God, 60 billion US dollars, I remember that Chief Engineer Lu's net worth is only more than 50 billion, so won't he suddenly change from Lu 10 billion to Lu 10 billion?"

"It is stupid to say that people who are only negative 10 billion US dollars, 50 billion is just a valuation, and it is good that the cash on the books of the group will actually be 10 billion, which is still the recent surge in shipments of compression chips, and the next order has not been signed and the money has not been spent.

It is foreseeable that with the anti-monopoly investigation of 38 countries, Tomorrow Group will fully withdraw from the market and face the provocation of these countries, and the valuation of compressed chips can be left with 40 billion US dollars, which is not bad, and the 31.5% stake held by Tomorrow Group is worth 10 billion.

A direct loss of $60 billion, with a three-quarters drop in valuation, is really impulsive......"

"Impulsive, do you know what an antitrust investigation means? In addition to paying fines, you also need to cooperate with the liberalization of technology, and do not withdraw from the market, do you mean that this technology has been handed over? ”

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and Lu Yi, who was busy in Yangcheng, also received a call from Li Yashan.

"Lu Lu, it's over, tomorrow group is finished......"

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Yashan cried aggrievedly with a crying voice, in terms of her feelings for Tomorrow Group, Lu Yi, the boss, did not care too much, but for Li Yashan, this was her struggle bit by bit.

In China, relying on the background relationship and the eagerness of ZTE and Unicom to get out of the predicament at the beginning, it took the lead in opening up a good situation, and then quickly laid out the whole country.

But once you go abroad and people leave their hometowns, even with the help of Huawei's global network for many years, it is not so easy for you to move other people's cakes, which involves all kinds of interest games, roundabout negotiations, and even threats to personal safety.

But all of this was gone just now......

"Who said it's gone, isn't it still there?"

Lu Yi comforted softly: "The rest of the things in the group will be handled by the team, let's go back to Yangcheng tomorrow, let's wait and witness the birth of history together."

When this is done, I will take control of the group for the next period of time, and I will let them vomit all the food this time, and let them beg us to go back......"
