Chapter 216: The opening first duet of the double reed play
The matter of the coastline company being sued by the Automobile Industry Association in the international court is also boiling in China, and the Internet is also a hot discussion, speaking of the product launch conference on February 2, until today, there have been heavyweight news related to the coastline company almost every day for almost two months.
The blockbuster news is one after another, and there is rarely a company in the world that can swipe the screen in the world for two consecutive months, and Shoreline Company can be regarded as creating an alternative world-class record.
A monopoly lawsuit can be said to be a basic operation for a supergiant, which super multinational giant in the world has not been entangled in a monopoly lawsuit? Basically nothing!
Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay......
Just a few can list a lot.
And a high-tech company like Coastline has had an absolute technological monopoly since its birth, and it is not surprising that it has a monopoly lawsuit.
However, at present, the coastline is being sued in court, and all major industry insiders are analyzing and expressing their own opinions, and basically the mainstream voice is not optimistic that the "consumer" of the Automobile Industry Association can win the lawsuit.
It's too complicated, and it's clear that if it really wins, the App-Store won't be alive until now.
Interestingly, in the end, Amazon, eBay and other large e-commerce platforms, including Apple, actually supported the shoreline company and refuted the lawsuit of the Automobile Industry Association.
That's where it gets interesting.
But discerning people can also see that these giants are not really in good intentions, but if Shoreline Company loses this lawsuit, that is, this "distribution monopoly" statement is true, it means that other big platforms will not be able to stand alone, so wait in line to be sanctioned, not to mention anything else, the second one to be cut is definitely Apple's App-Store.
And if Shoreline wins, big platforms like Apple, Amazon, and eBay can continue to act as "commission-collecting intermediaries" to get rid of annoying antitrust lawsuits, and it will be even more difficult to sue tech giants in this way in the future.
The general public feels that the Coastline Company is in big trouble this time, and the international court has accepted the lawsuit, and they feel that they are really going to get into this international lawsuit with the Coastline Company.
However, Ye Hua (Coastline), who is the defendant, doesn't even pay attention to this matter now, but the media hyped up the topic very hotly, Ye Hua knows very well that the little book is angry, after all, how to say it, okay, you have to let people get angry, go with it.
After a few days, the breath was almost out, but after finding that there was no real use, my brain almost calmed down.
However, Ye Hua will not give the little book too much time, even if he wants to, the Americans and Europeans don't have that patience, hundreds of multinational companies are gearing up for the next step, a small book that has been reduced to RBQ, everyone really doesn't have that much patience, give two or three days before he calms down, the big guy will teach him how to be quiet.
Well, the longer the time drags on, the greater the price to pay, exceeding the time limit, directly depriving the opportunity to "join the group", this matter is decided by Ye Hua, and the little book is given five days.
On April 1st, the third day after the Automobile Manufacturers Association sued Shoreline as a consumer...... The lawsuit was withdrawn!
When the news came out, the major media and a large number of melon eaters who were waiting to see the show were a little confused.
The posture is so fierce that the media around the world have put the headline page, and the result is such a result?
Dare to love this is a fake melon?
The little book really can't withstand the joint pressure of a belly black rabbit and a bald eagle all the time.,These two alone can't stand it.,Not to mention that the whole world is tacitly colluding to bully.,So I had to accept the identity of RBQ.,Sell your ass obediently.。
After all, if the economy of the next two or three decades is still stagnant or even regressive, and other major countries, powers or emerging market countries in the world continue to grow, then the right to speak in the future will plummet.
To say that the most miserable and distressing thing is none other than Xinyue Chemical, originally Xinyue was happy and happy.
Ten days ago, the pure crystal source of semiconductors was completed all the expected supply, and then the calibration conference of the developer's technical system plan was held.
Then it was rumored that the automobile industry was excluded from the system, and the whole world did not take the book to play with the car, and a large group of old drivers with the book were kicked out of the group.
Shin-Etsu was very angry, and mentally supported a wave of the country's automobile industry, but it was as stable as an old dog, anyway, Shin-Etsu Chemical's business would not be affected, and then looked at it with the mentality of eating melons.
Outcome...
Xinyue, who eats melons, never thought that he would become a bargaining chip?
Shin-Etsu: ???
Now the entire Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is blown up, what is the difference between this and an open robbery? And why did Shinyue become a victim?
However, Shin-Etsu's transfer of core technology is already inevitable, and it has become an irreversible fact that Shin-Etsu was sold as a bargaining chip.
Four days later, that is, on April 5th, after the small book offered all the good things at home, the many senior old group members in the "group", administrators, and group owners were dotted up and down, and after a wave of PY transactions, the bigwigs in the group felt that Xiaoben was very sensible, so some bigwigs proposed to take Xiaoben to play with them in the future.
The bigwigs in the group have all been honored, and they are soft-mouthed and short-handed, and the bigwigs all loudly said that for the sake of the continued prosperity and development of the world economy, they agreed to join the group.
So, Xiao Ben joined the group like this.
Big guy in the group: In the future, in the group, a few of us management apes will cover you, are you moved?
Ben: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move!
……
After April 5, the big picture has been decided and everything is ready.
When the world's media and analysts were just getting the news that Ben had joined the developer's technical system, it was about to make headlines the next day, but the more explosive news came out on April 6, like a thunderclap on the ground, and the whole world was blown to the ground.
The global think tank analysis institutions feel that their brains are going down, and there are too many hot news and events in the past two months, which are simply overwhelming, and they are almost unclear.
On April 6th, everyone was ready to eat a small melon, but Huaxia threw out a super big melon.
At about 11 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the rabbit side made a bombshell response to the possibility of the United States in the near future to promote the imposition of tariffs on $245 billion of goods exported to the United States: the United States has seriously violated WTO rules and continuously introduced unilateral measures, prompting the continuous escalation of trade disputes between the two sides, which not only harms the interests of bilateral enterprises and consumers, but also loses the security of the global industrial chain and value chain.
The outside world thinks this should be just a voice.
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Commerce imposed tariffs on about $150 billion of goods imported from the United States, and the list of goods was announced.
When the outside world saw the news, especially when they saw that high-end manufacturing companies in the United States, including Apple, were on this list, the world's eyes were shocked!
The even more explosive news is that a group of American high-tech companies represented by Apple and others have suddenly been sued by the China Tax Administration, and they have formally accused Apple and a number of other American high-tech companies of tax evasion and tax evasion with laws and regulations, including the "General Anti-Tax Avoidance Administration Act," and Apple has been included in the list of "cracking down on international tax evasion."
Good guys, the countermeasures of tariffs are very strong in the outside world, 150 billion US dollars, and only then did I react, it was just an appetizer, and the back was a more spicy meal.
If it was the power of the TNT class before, then this list is simply a nuclear bomb level.
Like a thunderclap on the ground, Cook's CEOs were the first to learn the news from Huaxia, and they were all furious.
What made Cook's tech tycoons even more incredulous and pale was that when they were asked to issue the amount of back tax payment from major companies, they almost fainted on the spot when they saw the amount of back payment.
Among them, the worst sanctioned is Apple, in addition to the above accusations, Apple has once again been hammered to "slow down the speed gate".
The mobile phone that has just been used for a year or two is getting slower and slower after an occasional system upgrade, and even freezes from time to time, so I have no choice but to buy a new phone. Many consumers have encountered this situation, and there have been doubts on the Internet, thinking that it is a small move made by manufacturers to promote new models, but all along, few manufacturers are willing to admit it.
As the so-called blessing and misfortune are not alone, Apple is miserable now.
Huaxia's regulators decided to fine Apple because the company advised users to update their smartphones' operating systems, but the phones were slowed down by such updates.
As a result, after Italy became the first in the world to punish manufacturers who deliberately accelerated the elimination of mobile phones, Huaxia also directly fined Apple 645 million yuan.
If it's just such a little money, Cook said: Isn't it money!
But what really wanted the old Cook's life was the previous back tax.
Huaxia tax general calculation to Apple company a general ledger, the total amount to be paid over the years reached 150.458 billion yuan, the real-time exchange rate converted into US dollars is 21.7 billion US dollars, plus the fine of the regulatory authorities, about 21.8 billion US dollars, good guy such an astronomical amount, not to mention that Cook will be dizzy when he hears it, and Apple's shareholders are about to vomit blood collectively when they hear the news.
This is absolutely not expected by the whole world, and no think tank analyst or economist has thought in this direction at all, even at all.
Why is the gentle rabbit so fierce?
Maybe it can't be described as ruthless, domestic melon-eating netizens are all N stunned!
