Chapter 108 The second hole card is invalid and the answer is about to be revealed!
The news that North American authorities began to conduct a 337 investigation into the four giants was astonished and shocked the land of China.
For a moment, the network was boiling.
While netizens were angry, they were also worried.
After all, the four giants have just become the overlords of the global mobile phone industry and have an amazing driving effect on the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
If they are sanctioned, it will be a serious blow to the domestic economy.
After the news came out, Luo Jia called President Ren in the office.
"How is the situation over you?" Luo Jia asked.
"What can I do? Let's respond. This is not the first time you have encountered such a thing." Mr. Ren said easily.
Luo Jia frowned, "But this time, I heard from the North American lawyer team that it may be a little different."
Mr. Ren snorted, "I know, they have a lot of strength behind this time. The North American authorities have already disliked us, but they are the authorities after all, so it is hard to directly interfere in business matters."
"Now that Google and Apple sued each other is equivalent to letting the authorities catch the handle. It may be more difficult when we respond. We are all prepared for these. Don't worry, a large trade lawsuit like this will take at least a year or two, and the result will not be so quickly."
Luo Jia comforted Mr. Ren for a few words and hung up the phone.
At this time, Anran walked into his office and shook his head at Luo Jia.
"What's going on?" Luo Jia asked with a frown.
An Ran smiled bitterly: "I have contacted Intel. Although they did not say it clearly, I heard some meaning from their words. I am afraid that some North American authorities have hinted that they will not interfere in this matter."
"Then, there's nothing."
Anran spread her arms and shrugged helplessly.
Luo Jia leaned over to the boss's chair, lit a cigarette, and took two silently.
Intel, Texas Instruments, these North American semiconductor manufacturers are Luo Jia's second trump card.
They are a partnership with Star Technology. Once Google sues Star Technology, Intel will come out to ensure its own interests and prevent sanctions against Star Technology.
But now, Google has pointed its finger at the Big Four, and used 337 investigations to sue the Big Four for monopoly and infringement.
In this way, Intel has no reason to intervene.
An Ran said, "I can't figure out whether Intel refuses to interfere because someone has given them a hint, or does not want to trek into this muddy water. Anyway, I can't count on them now."
"It's not me that Intel is different from the legal team we hire in North America. The legal team is a group of professional lawsuits. If they don't sue, they will have no food to eat. Companies like Intel have never been able to sue without suing."
"I'm not afraid of a pig-like opponent, but I'm afraid of a pig-like teammate." An Ran muttered, "Intel is not our own person after all, and it's really unreliable at critical moments."
Luo Jia held his forehead and fell into deep thoughts.
The situation did not develop in the direction of Luo Jia's rehearsal, and there was a sign of being out of control. In any case, Luo Jia would never want to involve President Ren and the others.
An Ran lowered his voice and whispered in Luo Jia's ear, "Mr. Luo, don't you have a third trump card?"
"It's so mysterious. Only you and Li Moran know. If you don't even tell me, it should be a killer weapon at the trump card level, right?"
Luo Jia muttered, "Yes, there is, but that trump card did not exist to end the war."
"Why does that exist?" An Ran asked in confusion.
"To expand the war," Luo Jia said lightly.
......
In a blink of an eye, Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue have been in Brazil for three months.
Their skin was also as tanned as Liu Zhifeng and began to wear Brazilian flip-flops.
The famous Brazilian barbecue strengthens their bodies, and like all Chinese living in the local area, they inevitably encounter robbery.
It was one afternoon, and two little kids holding the left lún shǒu qiāng suddenly jumped out of the alley and shouted something in Portuguese.
Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue quickly raised their hands and asked the two little kids to take away 140 reals and two mobile phones from their pockets.
The whole process only took place within a few seconds. Before Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue could come to their senses, the two little kids holding guns had already escaped.
According to local Chinese, Brazilian robbers only need money and don’t have life, which is quite moral...
Anyway, Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue are just following the customs and live in this world, the farthest from China, with troubles and homesickness, and a lot of happiness.
The branch has been fully established.
It's really not easy. I gave money to many officials and spent a lot of time to get back a representative business license, Internet business license, and other broken pieces of paper.
It took more than two months to run the procedures since Liu Zhifeng landed.
Fortunately, Luo Jia is preparing for the future, otherwise, based on the local Brazilian service efficiency, he needs to come here to open a branch to ensure that he is blind.
In addition to their four supervisors, the branch also hired more than a dozen local overseas Chinese, which were divided into various departments.
There is also an aunt who cleans the house. She is not Chinese. Generally speaking, Brazilians are very wealthy and will not get to the point of becoming a cleaner.
So far, Luo Jia has not arranged a job for the Brazilian branch, so Wei Chen and his team will spend four days a week to teach at local overseas Chinese schools.
It’s considered a reward for your favor. The local overseas Chinese are very enthusiastic about the branch and have given a lot of help.
In Brazil, there are two types of overseas Chinese: old overseas Chinese and new overseas Chinese.
New Overseas Chinese all came out after the reform and opening up, and were devoted to seeking wealth.
The old overseas Chinese were in the Qing Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty and could not survive in their hometown, so they had to leave their hometown.
They started out in small business, working hard, regardless of wind and rain.
With money, they built the school first, built the ancestral halls, and encouraged their descendants to learn Chinese culture.
The ones Wei Chen and his friends contacted the most were these old overseas Chinese and their descendants.
The old overseas Chinese left an extremely deep impression on Wei Chen and others of the inheritance of traditional culture.
According to the consistent tradition of Xingchen Technology, Wei Chen and the other four are typical highly educated intellectuals, from first-class universities such as Shangcai, Fudan, Jiaotong and Wuhan.
Among them, Huang Shanyue is also a PhD in the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Jiaotong University, and Wei Chen is a Master of Business from Fudan.
The luxurious lineup surprised the local overseas Chinese, so we must invite them to be teachers.
Wei Chen and the others felt that there was nothing wrong with helping local overseas Chinese children learn Chinese and culture, so they happily agreed.
A solemn apprenticeship ceremony was held in the Overseas Chinese School, and Wei Chen and the others were invited to the seat, and then the students offered tea and gave a big gift.
Although the etiquette is complicated, it can be seen that they are really intentional.
While moving Wei Chen and the others, they also made up their minds to educate their children as role models.
They spared no effort to teach them all the knowledge they had, and in the eyes of local overseas Chinese, they were naturally extremely grateful.
Local overseas Chinese often visit companies, sell seafood, bring fresh oysters and lobsters, plantations, endless tropical fruits, and uncles who run restaurants take turns delivering bentoes every noon.
It is hard to imagine that Star Technology's branch in Brazil has only a few months of history and is like a family.
Even they spent the Spring Festival together. Wei Chen and the others even learned the skills of lion dancing. During the Overseas Chinese Spring Festival parade, they also performed on stage on behalf of Xingchen Technology.
Walking on the road on Twenty-five Street, everyone greeted Wei Chen and the others cordially, calling them gentlemen or teachers.
Such courtesy was something Wei Chen and the others had never felt before in the country.
"The email is here! It's Mr. Luo's email!"
On the last day of February, the accountant Jin Ming's voice made Wei Chen and the others jump out of the chair.
"Open it quickly and see what Mr. Luo said?"
"Is it our turn to play?"
Accountant Jin Ming hurriedly clicked on the email, but saw the full text of Luo Jia's email as follows:
Hello, colleagues stationed in the branch.
Given that our war with Google has entered a white-hot stage and may be expanded into a full-scale war at any time.
So from now on, major branches will be on standby for 24 hours and are ready to go online at any time.
Thank you everyone for your hard work.
Luo Jia.
Ao Wow!
After reading Luo Jia's email, four straight men from the Brazilian branch roared like wolves, which scared the local colleagues who were unknown for unknown reasons.
They immediately began to assign work, with Wei Chen and Huang Shanyue, Liu Zhifeng and Jin Ming, and two groups of people taking turns to be on duty to ensure that once the headquarters is launched, Brazil can implement it immediately.
Not only the Brazilian branch, but also the forty-nine branches of Luo Jia, and the forty-nine steel tough guys, all started to take action in full swing.
After assigning the duty schedule, Liu Zhifeng called the Overseas Chinese School and told them that they could not get through this recently because the company may have major tasks.
The Overseas Chinese School expressed its understanding. Seeing that they had been idle for so long in the local area, the Overseas Chinese were actually wondering how much it would cost to raise so many people and rent so many servers every month, but they just didn’t see them opening the door to do business.
Now that Liu Zhifeng said he was going to start busy, the overseas Chinese were very pleased and discussed stewing two ducks for the gentlemen.
Technical Director Huang Shanyue turned on the computer with great excitement and did the test before the program went online.
Although he checks the program every day, he still can't rest assured at this moment.
I saw that a search interface appeared on Huang Shanyue’s laptop screen.
The style is very similar to the galaxy wind used in the star system, and it also has sharp lines and extremely exaggerated curves.
There are two names for the search interface, one is Portuguese and the other is Chinese.
I can't understand Portuguese.
But there are four big characters written in Chinese clearly.
Chapter completed!
