Global Monopoly of Technology

Facing Yao Jianhong's question, Luo Sheng asked back with a smile, "Old Yao, if you are asked to make the final decision, what are you going to do?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Jianhong was immediately stopped for questioning. After a while, he was even more surprised that Luo Sheng was still able to laugh.

At the end, after thinking for a while, he replied:

"Since it's a hypothesis, then I'll go straight to my heart. If I make a decision, once the North American announcement is confirmed, I will immediately recall all the employees of the Cote d'Azur in North America, liquidate all the assets, and take all that can be taken away. , complete the liquidation and cutting with the channel partners, sell the irrelevant flagship store real estate business, and then interrupt the WOS operating system authorization of Apple's iPhone, cut off the FinFET process patent authorization, cut off... Well, I know this is not very rational. "

Luo Sheng looked at Yao Jianhong and said with a laugh, "I'm a little surprised by what you said. Suddenly, I feel that I should exchange the positions of you and Lao Zhang. You can take care of Bluestar Technology, and Lao Zhang will take care of Azure Coast."

Yao Jianhong was stunned again: "Um... Mr. Luo, don't you really want to play like this? Wait a minute, Bluestar Technology did this?"

Luo Sheng nodded.

Lao Yao subconsciously blurted out and exclaimed, "Fuck—!"

Really play like this?

This……

Luo Sheng glanced at Yao Jianhong, who was overwhelmed, and said calmly: "Azur is different from Bluestar Technology. It is necessary to withdraw from the North American market. It is also necessary to recall mainland employees and lay off local employees, but it is necessary to interrupt cooperation with Apple and other companies. The authorization of the partner cannot be done.”

Yao Jianhong was puzzled: "Why? People are doing this to you. Wouldn't you be regarded as a coward if you do this?"

Luo Sheng behaved very calmly and said: "That's a reckless man. Who dares to say that I am cowardly when I have achieved this level of Bluestar Technology? Who dares to play like me? But the Azur is different. If we cut off the supply of the WOS system North America, pinching off core technology patents such as FinFET process, this is equivalent to falling into the trap of old America, what will international suppliers outside North America think of our move?"

As soon as these words came out, Yao Jianhong woke up like a dream, and suddenly realized.

Yes, then the unexpected international supply chain partners in North America will definitely be too scared to cooperate with the Côte d'Azur, and there will also be a crisis of confidence in the euro area market, and I definitely dare not be too tied to the Côte d'Azur. deep.

Comparatively speaking, the euro area is even less able to withstand this kind of tossing.

This is equivalent to narrowing the road for oneself.

If Bluestar Technology dares to smash the market, it will smash its own game, and incidentally, it will smash the game in North America. If the Cote d'Azur also smashes the game, it will smash the game in the whole world.

The converse result is to make international supply chain partners outside North America more determined to cut ties with the Côte d'Azur, lest they end up being exposed like this, and no one can stand it.

What's more, Luo Sheng has made it clear in the public media that he will not weaponize the patents he holds.

"It's not a deal, but the price tag." Luo Sheng changed the subject and said jokingly: "The employees in the North American market can't be left idle when they are recalled, so let them come to the door and ask for money."

Yao Jianhong's eyes lit up: "This is a good move. It not only complied with the promise not to weaponize patents, but also actually got the money. Instead, everyone transferred their complaints to the North American authorities. It is the best of both worlds."

In the end, it is the big BOSS, what I think is thoughtful, take one step and see three steps.

The most uncomfortable thing is the suppliers in North America, who suffer from both ends.

...

The next day, a piece of news from the North American Department of Commerce made the world frypots officially announce,

The effective date will be January 15, 2014, with less than half a month left.

But it's just an appetizer.

The stock price of Bluestar Technology plummeted by 12% on the day, and the total market value fell from the previous high of 1.3 trillion to US$1.056 trillion after the market value of the US stock market. If this trend continues, there is no need to wait for North America to open the next day. The listing of Hong Kong stocks is equivalent to full-time trading.

It's almost no suspense that the market value fell below a trillion dollars that day.

Sure enough, as the eastern hemisphere entered daylight and the Hong Kong stock market opened, Bluestar's stock price directly turned into a diving champion, and the trading code led the decline. Neither Cerulean Coast nor Bluestar's concept stocks could escape, and they all followed suit.

...

On the same day, Zhang Bowen, Executive Vice President of Bluestar Technology Group, personally held a temporary media conference.

At around 9:45 in the morning, more than 300 domestic and foreign media reporters gathered in the hall of the conference venue. When Zhang Bowen, who was dressed in a formal suit, appeared unsmilingly and walked to the podium, all the reporters stood up one after another, chatting and chatting. keep asking.

The whole venue is as noisy as a vegetable market.

Zhang Bowen walked up to the podium and stood quietly, looking around the audience and pressing his hand.

"North America claims to be the representative of the freest market economic zone in the world. Regrettably, the authorities have not followed the principles of the market economy, not only do not provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment for overseas multinational companies investing and operating in the United States, Instead, it blindly generalizes national security and unreasonably suppresses overseas multinational companies."

Speaking of which, Zhang Bowen paused for a moment, all the reporters on the scene were staring intently, and the camera completely locked the change in Lao Zhang's expression.

The place was eerily quiet for a while.

At the end, Zhang Bowen said calmly and with a firm and inappropriate tone: "Now, on behalf of the Bluestar Technology Group board of directors, I officially announce that the group company will completely withdraw from the North American market, and we will complete all Bluestar Technology North America within half a month. Liquidation and cutting of the company's assets."

"We have completely withdrawn from the North American market, how to deal with the company's local assets? We will not sell the assets belonging to the group company, but will bring them all out of North America, not a single screw is left, and not a bit of data is left. What's left, take all of it, and what you can't take away... According to Mr. Luo's original words... Throw it in the Pacific Ocean!"

The audience was silent again, this time even the reporters present forgot to press the camera equipment in their hands.

This situation lasted for about two seconds, but it was only about two seconds. The next moment, the media in the audience was like a frying pan, frantically pressing the shutter of the camera while asking frantically.

However, after the announcement, Zhang Bowen left the meeting directly and did not accept any questions and answers.

Until he disappeared from all eyes, the noisy scene did not subside. While these media reporters were shocked by the news, all of them were as excited as they were beaten with blood.

Absolutely super awesome!

A reporter present said to himself: "The global Internet world is about to usher in a major earthquake, and this time it is definitely a magnitude 10 earthquake."

His partner replied: "It's more than the Internet industry..."

...

Almost at the same time, the next-door Cote d'Azur company also made an explosive news spread all over the world.

The Côte d'Azur official website has updated a very simple notice, publishing an announcement in black and white in various A4 pages: the company will completely terminate the service in the North American market before January 15, 2014, and fully recall the employees in the North American market.

The more succinct the content of the notice that highlights a gaffe, the more significant it is.

As soon as two explosive news came out, it was bad for the world.

The three major domestic big A stock indexes are green across the board. The Hang Seng Index has long been green, and the mothers of the semiconductor industry and technology stocks do not know it. The two explosive bad news came out, causing panic selling in the entire stock market. Big A Directly in the early trading, the limit-down picture of a thousand shares was staged, and the entire stock market was screaming, which was horrible to watch.

The overseas market is also not immune to the disaster. The Korean KOSPI index and the Nikkei 225 index, which are in the trading hours, have been dragged into the water.

Luo Sheng directly smashed the market. For all listed companies related to the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology, their stock prices all fell.

The ghost knows how many times those listed companies have added leverage behind the scenes. In the past ten years, Luo Sheng's layout has been complicated by the network of interests formed by his two super-giant multinational group companies. No one can understand.

But the stock market's reaction is the most genuine.

European and American stock markets were already trembling in the middle of the night. Investors in Europe and the United States also felt chilly when they saw the Asia-Pacific index in the eastern hemisphere, and suddenly feared the opening time of tomorrow.

But what should come is coming, and the black swan that Luo Sheng himself released is sweeping the world.

On the same day, the major stock indexes in Europe and the United States all opened, and the Nasdaq Composite Index in North America plummeted to a rhythm that Liberty did not know at the opening. Most of the Internet companies in the world are in Nasdaq. The decision of Bluestar Technology affected the An extremely important infrastructure for the entire Internet industry.

You must know that with the rapid development of Bluestar Technology in the past ten years, its whole family bucket business is as huge as the Internet itself. Luo Sheng's smash hits the entire industry.

This then reflected in the stock market, triggering panic selling by investors.

If Bluestar Technology hits the upper layers of the Internet, then the Blue Star hits the bottom layer of the Internet, the mobile Internet and the global semiconductor industry.

The fragile side of the market is reflected at this moment. The market value of Bluestar Technology plummeted by 40% that day, toppling the first domino, and then the avalanche began.

The Dow Jones, the Nasdaq Composite, the S\u0026P 500, the UK's FTSE 100, the German DAX30, and the French CAC40 have all been pulled into the water.

No one thought that an event announced at a media conference held by a company would actually trigger a global stock market crash.

Because the confidence of market investors has been severely thwarted, and the North American authorities and Luo Sheng have repeatedly tossed back and forth, they have a serious lack of confidence in the future market trend, and are even full of worries about the rise of trade protectionism, full of unpredictability. What will happen?

At this moment, people realized that Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur actually had such a terrible world influence.

turn out to be.

Luo Sheng is the barometer of the economy and the weather vane of the industry. This sentence is really not just exaggerated by the media, but it really has such energy.
