Chapter 214 The situation suddenly changes, and Chen Xing is trapped in a whirlpool
New Delhi, the capital of Ancient Elephant Kingdom.
Rice Company International Headquarters.
Because he was outside the wall, Rebus was the first to know the news when Gaotong Company lifted its sanctions against Longxing Technology.
While he rushed back to the company overnight, he also began to inquire about what happened.
However.
In just half an hour, he witnessed...
The International Bluetooth Alliance deleted the announcement and restored the rights of Longxing Technology Company's new flagship to use "Bluetooth technology".
Google also deleted the announcement and stated that the company's "Android system" will be open to Longxing Technology Company again.
GlobalFoundries, UMC, and TSMC also deleted their sanctions announcements, and also stated on their official websites that they can accept orders from Longxing Technology.
From technology companies to chip foundries, announcements were all deleted, which made Rebus feel even more uneasy.
What does Chen Xing do?
Can make the Western Alliance compromise.
In other words, Long Guo took action?
Rebus thought about many possibilities. What he was most afraid of was that Chen Xing would hand over his technology in exchange for the development of the company. In that case, the Longguo Semiconductor Alliance would cease to exist.
The moment he returned to the company, he immediately used the international channel he applied for to access Longguo Internet and check the official website of Longxing Technology.
However!
The company's official website was quiet...
He checked the Internet again and found only the news that Longxing Technology had acquired sixteen copycat companies and negotiated a domestic supply chain.
“Strange…”
Rebus frowned.
After pondering for a few minutes, he no longer cared about disturbing the public and directly made an international call to Luo Hao, the boss of Hammer Company.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
Rebus called six or seven times before the call was connected. , Luo Hao's tired voice also came from the mobile phone.
"Old Lei, don't go too far. Do you know what time it is in Long Kingdom now? It's four in the morning. Making life-threatening phone calls like this will shorten your life."
Gu Xiang Kingdom There is a time difference with the Dragon Kingdom, and New Delhi is 2.5 hours behind the imperial capital. Now Luo Hao feels like eating Rebus.
Who can withstand disturbing someone’s dream at 4 o’clock?
Rebus also understood that Luo Hao was a heavy sleeper, and he really didn't want to disturb his sweet dreams unless he had to.
But now that the situation was urgent, he had to keep his words short: "The West has fully lifted restrictions on Longxing Technology Company. Do you know what Chen Xing has done?"
"To fully lift it, fully lift it... ..."
Luo Hao subconsciously wanted to deal with it, but when he came to his senses, he raised his voice several times and asked: "What did you say? The sanctions on Longxing Technology have been lifted."
"Yeah."
Rebus said "Yeah" heavily and continued: "Not only are they untied now, they also mean to show their goodwill, so I called you specifically to inquire. The situation."
"Wait a moment."
Luo Hao is also confused now.
He did not hang up the phone to Rebus, but went straight to the computer in his bedroom, quickly turned it on to check...
You don’t know if you look at it, you just take a look...
Good guy!
Really fully solved!
"If the West can fully relax restrictions, Chen Xing won't reach any agreement with them, right?" Luo Hao couldn't help but speculate.
It’s not surprising that he thinks this way, because throughout the history of the development of Dragon Kingdom enterprises, there are basically no enterprises that can let the Western Alliance relax their restrictions while their own companies are safe and sound.
Starting a technology company in Longguo will definitely go through two processes.
1. Entrepreneurship stage.
2. The neck-stuck stage.
The entrepreneurial stage, as the name suggests, is the process from zero to one.
However, once you reach this one, the group of patent trolls will smell it and give you two options.
1. Surrender and share technology.
2. Restricted until death.
Now that all restrictions have suddenly been lifted, not just for a certain company, but for all companies in the Western Alliance, this inevitably makes people think about the worst outcome.
“Although it is immoral to think this way, I think so too.” Rebus’ tone was full of regret and helplessness.
Long Guo finally built a technology company that could compete with the West. He really didn’t want to see the “recruitment” happen.
In order to get production equipment for Chen Xing, he ate curry rice and drank water from the Ganges River. He was almost a native of the ancient Xiang Kingdom. If all his previous efforts were wasted at this time, he didn't know what to say.
"Boss Ren should know better than me about Shencheng's affairs. Shall I call him and ask?"
Luo Hao was completely sleepless, so he didn't dare to ask Chen Xing directly. , because they now suspect that they have reached an agreement with the West.
If not, it will be very awkward when we meet in the future.
So they can only make some insinuations and ask other members of the domestic alliance to see if they can get any useful information.
"Then ask, I'll wait for your call back." Rebus hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he walked to the office window, looked at the bright moon, and murmured to himself: "Chen Xing, you must not share technology with the West. ”
The hole that Longxing Technology finally opened gave them hope, and no one wanted that hole to be closed.
……
And the other side.
Peninsula Seoul.
Korean Star Group Headquarters Building.
“Companies that rely on the West have now deleted their sanctions announcements. We still made a mistake. Chen Xing is not as tough as we imagined.”
Lee Jae-yong sat on the sofa, his arms crossed. He crossed his legs and said with a little regret.
Half an hour ago.
He received a call from Congressman Carlos Figueroa, asking him to immediately stop the "factory fire" and resume the supply of M series screens and chips to Longxing Technology.
To be honest, he didn't believe it at first, thinking that someone was pretending to be a prank.
It wasn't until he saw that Apple, Longxing Technology's mortal enemy, Gaotong Company had deleted the announcement from its official website that he gradually accepted this fact.
Li Zhenzhen stood on one side, folding his hands on his chest, and said with disappointment in his eyes: "I didn't expect Chen Xing to be unable to hold on so quickly. I retract my previous evaluation of him."
"Sure enough! No company can persist for three years under Western sanctions, and Longxing Technology is no exception."
Now not only Rebus and Luo Hao are speculating that Chen Xing has reached an agreement with the United States, but even Top business tycoons such as Li Zhenzhen, Li Zaiyong, Molenkov, and Pou Ke all agreed that Chen Xing had compromised with the West.
"This is the price of entering the international market. After all, it is too fatal for Longguo not to have its own mobile operating system. Without Android, Longxing Technology cannot even make mobile phones."
Li Zai Rong guessed.
Without an operating system, a smartphone is just a scrap of metal.
It is often said that the mobile phone becomes bricked because the operating system files are damaged, causing the mobile phone to be unable to be used normally.
Li Zhenzhen also agreed with this guess, shook his head helplessly and said: "Longxing Technology started too late, and it emerged too early. If it stays low for three to five years, maybe Chen Xing can become the first breakthrough CEO of a Western-controlled company."
"What should we do next?" Li Zaiyong looked at Li Zhenzhen. Fortunately, Li Zhenzhen was born as a girl and was not in a position to compete with him for the Korean Star Group. Otherwise, he would have been worried about having a member of the Li clan who was dominating him.
However.
He was not completely reassured.
Under his control, Li Zhenzhen only has control over the hotel business, and he has the final say in other businesses of the group.
Li Zhenzhen glanced at it, pondered and then responded: "Stand still, let's resume the supply of chips and screens to Longxing Technology first."
"Wall Street won't do anything?"
“No move.”
“Since it’s a mobile business, I’ll leave it to you.”
Lee Jae-yong continues to delegate power.
Because he listened to Li Zhenzhen's words, he has successfully cashed out tens of billions of dollars by shorting Gaotong Company's stocks during this period. He still recognizes his sister's abilities.
Li Zhenzhen nodded slightly and went straight back to his office.
Chen Xing's "surrender" was unexpected but also reasonable. After all, how can you build a mobile phone without an operating system?
It all boils down to four words...
Weak technology!
......
This early morning, not only Han Xing Group was called out, but SK Hynix responded quickly and immediately sent an email to Chen Xing.
Do you really think they want to cut off the supply?
I just can’t help myself!
Since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, more than 95% of the peninsula’s chaebol corporate shares have flowed to Wall Street.
The chain was put around their necks, and they had no choice at all.
After the restrictions were lifted, the happiest companies were the Neon Island companies. During this period, they lost nearly 35% of their orders, and their revenue fell too seriously.
Now that the restrictions have been lifted, CEOs of various companies are frantically sending emails to Chen Xing, hoping to re-establish cooperation.
There are also mobile phone spare parts suppliers who are all gearing up to compete in the supply chain of Longxing A series.
For example, Goertek of the Dragon Kingdom, although it is a Dragon Kingdom company, in order to avoid suspicion and stabilize its position in the Apple supply chain, it did not approach Chen Xing to discuss supply.
Even if they knew that AAC Technology had gone to Longxing Technology Company, they could only stand still and drool with envy.
No way.
Not all companies have the courage to face the West directly, not to mention that Goertek is only a company in the acoustic field.
But now things have taken a turn for the better, and Goertek’s boss did not hesitate and booked a flight to Shenzhen overnight.
It is no exaggeration to say that now supplier CEOs around the world are not calm.
In the past, Longxing Technology was a piece of fat meat locked in a cage. They couldn't eat it, but now that the cage has been removed, who doesn't want to take a bite?
And at the same time.
After Ren Guofei received a call from Luo Hao and learned what happened, he lost all sleep and immediately held a Semiconductor Alliance meeting.
As the original organizer of the Semiconductor Alliance, he pulled each member into a new group, except Chen Xing.
No one knows what happened now, and they don’t want to offend Chen Xing for a confrontation, so they can only integrate the information first.
A moment later.
Loongson International Gao Yongming, Bei Machinery Group Zhang Yingguang, Shanghai Silicon Group Yu Yuehui, Huatian EDA Liu Wei and other CEOs were all present.
"Why is Mr. Ren so urgent? He even started a new group. Hey, where is brother Chen Xing?" Gao Yongming asked with a smile.
He didn't know what happened yet. He only knew that a phone call came suddenly in his sleep, and then he was inexplicably attracted by Ren Guofei, as if he wanted to talk about something.
"Yes, where is brother Chen Xing? I know about his recent actions in the Imperial Capital. He is too high-profile for this kid."
"Sixteen copycat companies will eat whatever they say. This is courageous enough!”
"He also borrowed 1.2 billion. The president of Imperial Commercial Bank talked to me. I was immediately shocked. Brother Chen does have the potential to be a hero."
The other bosses still don't know what happened. , still chatting happily.
It was only after the two bosses of Blue and Green Factory, Chen Yong and Duan Yongping, came into the group video that Ren Guofei fully told the story about the lifting of Western sanctions on Longxing Technology.
In a flash.
Gao Yongming’s expression suddenly changed.
"Impossible!"
While denying it directly, he raised his voice several times and said, "If Brother Chen had given up, how could he have waited until now?"
"Yes. Yes, if he is willing to compromise with the West, there is no need to build a domestic supply chain. I have heard that he has already cooperated with more than a dozen domestic parts suppliers. He has no such motive at all."
< br>"If he wants to admit defeat, why bother to go all out to integrate copycat phone companies, and why bother to find domestic parts suppliers? This is definitely a deliberate alienation strategy from the West!"
In the long speech of other CEOs, express their inner feelings When thinking about it, Zhang Yingguang, the boss of Bei Machinery Group, said simply and concisely, saying only four words: "He won't do it."
Without Chen Xing's Longxing Technology, they wouldn't be able to get together.
Now that everything is going for the best, will he compromise with the West?
Impossible!
"I also believe in Chen Xing. I gave him my own Hongmeng system and communication R&D equipment." Ren Guofei also expressed his position, and then changed the topic: "This meeting is about I want to ask if you have any inside information so that we can be prepared."
The words fell.
The bosses were all lost in thought.
Soon after, Gao Yongming still shook his head and said: "There is no inside information. Brother Chen and I have not been in contact for a while."
"Me too."
"Same here."
A number of semiconductor CEOs expressed their opinions one after another.
The bosses of Blue Green Factory, Iron Hammer Company, and Meilan Company all shook their heads, not knowing the inside information.
They only know that after Chen Xing came back from the "Changxi Launch Center", he immediately rectified the copycat mobile phone companies in Longguo, and even worked with domestic suppliers to create the Longxing A series. They did everything else. Don't know anything.
Ren Guofei: "..."
After being silent for a long time, Ren Guofei sighed and said: "Since no one knows the inside information, then I will pull my old face and replace him during the day. Let’s ask him face to face.”
The domestic chip alliance is of great importance. Even if Chen Xing really compromises, he still wants to be clear and understand the inside story.
Seeing that Ren Guofei wanted to be this "evil person", the other bosses would naturally not object. They all wanted to know the inside story of the matter.
......
Just when the "Domestic Chip Alliance" was holding a meeting, Zhao Chenguang, who was far away at the Changxi Launch Center, also got the news.
Not only him, but his superiors also knew about the situation.
It can be said that now everyone in the semiconductor field or with an intelligence network in Long Kingdom knows that the West has lifted all restrictions on Longxing Technology Company.
Now no one knows Chen Xing's attitude, nor is he sure of Chen Xing's thoughts, let alone whether Chen Xing has reconciled privately with the West. It's all a mystery.
Zhao Chenguang walked to the window of the room, looked at the horizon in the distance, and murmured to himself: "The labor and management have put so much pressure on my daughter, Chen Xing, don't be a coward..."
