Chapter 101: North American Blockades Continue to Expand
During the upload stage, Gu Cheng did not stay in the R&D center all the time, there were HUAWEI staff handling it here, and Xiaoqing was handling it on the side of Shangdu Tianqing Company.
After leaving the R&D center, Xu Zhijun led Gu Cheng to visit the HUAWEI headquarters, and in the evening, all the senior executives of HUAWEI gathered for dinner and warmly entertained Gu Cheng.
Last time there was a chip crisis in Tianqing Technology, He Su asked HiSilicon for help, but this time HUAWEI was in trouble, and asked Gu Cheng to come to help, and the two sides formed a good relationship.
During the dinner, there was also a simple exchange of technology, business management, mutual learning and so on.
Especially when it comes to technical issues, Gu Cheng came to the letter, HUAWEI focuses on mathematical logic architecture, Gu Cheng casually said some of his own opinions, so that Xu Zhijun, who is in charge of technology research and development, realized that what he said is very beneficial to HUAWEI, as the more time they spend with each other, the more they look forward to it, maybe a miracle will really happen.
After the dinner, Gu Cheng and He Su left together, and the latter walked in parallel: "There will be a bigger party tomorrow, and the big names in the national Internet technology industry will be present." ”
"I'm not going to join in the fun, let's get the 'Hongmeng system' done." Gu Cheng knew what she wanted to say, as the founder of Tianqing Technology, he is now the number one big man in the science and technology circle, and his influence and strength are there.
Gu Cheng doesn't have to think much to know that tomorrow's gathering must be to preliminarily discuss the establishment of a domestic operating system ecosystem, mainly major domestic Internet companies and major mobile phone manufacturers, to strongly promote the domestic operating system, provided that the "Hongmeng system" can be successfully launched.
He Su wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up, the development of the "Hongmeng system" is equal to the two lines, Gu Cheng packed a piece of information to develop, whether it is the original team of HUAWEI that can successfully launch the "Hongmeng system", or Gu Cheng who came to help halfway, He Su is actually more inclined to the latter, and can't say why, but as a woman's intuition, she feels that Gu Cheng may create a miracle.
Although he gives people the impression of being a megalomaniac who is content to run high-speed rail.
If the operating system is not successfully launched, tomorrow's party will not be of much use.
The two talked for a while after the dinner, He Su naturally wanted to attend the gathering of the bigwigs tomorrow, she represented the above matchmaking, only the power of the national level can bring such a large number of elites involved in multiple industries together to sit down and discuss the plan.
Gu Cheng took Chen Mo's special car back to the temporarily arranged hotel, and returned to Shangdu tomorrow.
During this time, the outside world was in a rumor, and as soon as the so-called "entity list" in North America came out and began to be blocked, Europe also began to follow up, indicating that the North American export ban was successfully extended to Europe.
German semiconductor giant Infineon also announced the cessation of supply to HUAWEI, under pressure from the North American Ministry of Commerce, STMicroelectronics, another major semiconductor in Europe, will also meet this week to discuss whether to comply with North America to stop supplying HUAWEI, according to regulatory filings, HUAWEI is one of ST's top 10 customers.
This series of signs indicates that the comprehensive crackdown on Chinese high-tech companies in North America has affected supply chains outside of North America.
As soon as the "entity list" for export controls was introduced, North American companies had to obtain a license before they could sell technology products to high-tech companies in China, and North America's efforts to cut off global supply chains actually had serious implications for their own interests.
After the news of the ban of companies such as HUAWEI and Tianqing Technology, the stocks of North American suppliers fell in response, including Qualcomm and Broadcom.
The reason is that the global economic system has already undergone historic changes, the main body of the world market is multinational corporations, and the products traded are not finished products, such as computers, smart phones, airplanes, etc., the production process of these complex commodities has broken the boundaries between countries, Apple mobile phones are not all produced in North America, and the same is true for airplanes, the connotation of market relations has long been no longer as simple as buying and selling, but a complex network system linked by supply chain partnerships.
In the era of supply chains, there is competition between multinational companies, but the competition is the ability to cooperate.
It can be said that the blockade in North America is actually a harm to the global supply chain and the technology community.
This incident is not only concerned by domestic netizens, but also by foreign netizens, forced by the ban of the North American authorities must be implemented, but it is also a fact that the interests of everyone are harmed, the business of North American companies has been reduced, and companies have to lay off employees, so foreign netizens are also standing on the opposite side of the North American authorities, and foreign netizens on the Reddit forum leave comments that are very true.
"Google will regret it."
"Now is the time to build a new operating system that might surpass Android or iOS."
"It's just going to make them stronger, and in the end they're going to build their own chip processors, and the North American companies are going to be the losers."
"The U.S. claims to be a free-market economy, but it directly intervenes in business operations [smiles]."
"A ban on rare earth exports to fight back at the United States is not an empty threat. You know, Huaguo has all the rare earth metals needed to make electronic chips. If necessary, they can completely stop selling rare earths to the United States and see who is laughing? ”
"Have you noticed that all the big news is about Huaguo Company? TIANQING, HUAWEI AND NOW DJI, COME ON BUDDY! DJI drones are the best. ”
"Ridiculous, maybe the next time it will be announced that Huaguo's toys will raise national security concerns, because the toys may send sensitive data to their servers."
"Ironically, neither the UK, Germany's Federal Office for Information Security, the European Commission nor other agencies have found any 'backdoors' or vulnerabilities in the equipment provided by Huaguo Technology. However, security vulnerabilities are often found in the equipment provided by Cisco in the United States, and there have been at least 10 cases since 2013, which is more in line with the so-called 'backdoor' description. ”
"It's well known. The United States is the country that spies on everyone, and Snoden has already shown it to everyone, so let's disperse. ”
……
While the major media reported and the Internet was full of discussions, North America continued to release news and further expanded the suppression of high-tech companies in China, including DJI, Dahua, and Nuctech.
Bigger "supply disruptions" are continuing......
Arm announced that it may suspend business with HUAWEI, remove HUAWEI notebooks from the Microsoft Store, remove HUAWEI smart terminals from the shelves of HUAWEI smart terminals, MEAS sensors and other North American semiconductor manufacturers to stop supplying Tianqing Technology exoskeletons......
After Gu Cheng returned to Shangdu from Pengcheng, he rested for a while and rushed to the headquarters of Tianqing Company.
The company is now on the cusp, and a large group of reporters are squatting at the gate of Tianqing Technology headquarters, but fortunately, Gu Cheng did not publicly show up in front of the media, and successfully entered the company's headquarters through the back door.
"Mr. Gu, you're back."
As soon as he arrived at the company, Qiu Shiming met Gu Cheng as soon as he got the news.
