I Am the President of the University

Chapter 802: Anti-monopoly investigation and sky-high fines against Guanghua University!

, !

"Great, now Guanghua University is finished!"

Japan, National Institute of Materials Research.

Director Watanabe Zhengnan looked at the news in front of him, his heart was very comfortable, and his whole body was filled with joy.

[Yomiuri Shimbun: French Competition Authority launches antitrust investigation of Lushu Group and Guanghua University! Will the popularity of smart thermostats end? 】

"Let you all be in the limelight, is there a problem now?"

"France is just a pioneer, and the European Commission will definitely be involved in the investigation. I want to see if you are so lucky this time!"

Watanabe Zhengnan shook his head leisurely, and he even recited a few haiku when he was happy.

Looking at the time again, it was already 5 pm, and it was not far from the time to get off work.

Watanabe Zhengnan opened the door of the office, walked outside, and greeted a few subordinates with a smile.

"Kamiya-kun, Murakami-kun, Kobayashi-kun, Nishikawa-kun... I'll treat you to an izakaya after get off work later." Watanabe Zhengnan waved his hand, and his tone was calm.

But the people who were called looked at each other in dismay.

The director of Watanabe Zhengnan, although he has come up with some stupid tricks, but the city is much deeper than his predecessor, and... he is also very stingy!

I have never seen each other treat guests before, but this time the sun is coming out from the west?

But when they saw the news, they suddenly realized that this fellow was gloating.

After all, it was so badly suppressed by Guanghua University that netizens in the country sprayed their materials on the Internet, and if they said that the director should open his abdomen to apologize...

He made Watanabe Zhengnan so angry that he roared in the office, and he had a gloomy face all day.

The researcher of the institute had to walk around when they saw Watanabe Zhengnan, for fear of being caught by the other party and getting angry.

If Guanghua is unlucky, the happiest person is Watanabe Zhengnan.

...

America, in a white house.

When the news from Europe came, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it's better to have a dog's leg to go out to explore the road than to end the game in person.

Huaxing's matter is relatively simple, because they can still call the shots on the chip.

But the smart thermostat is different. This technology is only available in Guanghua University in the world, and sanctions may not be successful.

"Europe is starting to fight back, so should we keep up?" Someone said eagerly.

"No, no, I think we should wait and see again and see the reaction of China and Guanghua University first." Someone said cautiously.

Soon, someone stood up cursing: "Oh, Shet! When will we need to be so cautious in America? I don't support it!"

"We should unite with Europe and take this opportunity to ask Guanghua University to disclose the development technology of adaptive temperature-changing materials!"

"I don't support it, this is too reckless!"

Gradually, the two factions with different opinions began to quarrel.

Finally, the leader raised his voice and shouted.

"Enough, let's wait and see for a few days and see the reaction over there!"

Some people were not satisfied with the result and whined in a low voice.

And Chen Hao, the central figure of this incident, has a big head at the moment.

Not because of the French antitrust investigation, but because the phone is ringing

"Xiao Hao, I just saw the news, don't be nervous, the country will definitely support you in this matter, you can rest assured!"

Listening to Zhou Hanqing's soothing voice on the phone, Chen Hao was dumbfounded.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm not a seven-year-old, so I'm not nervous."

However, Chen Hao's heart is still warm, no matter whether it is public or private, Zhou Uncle's concern for him has nothing to say.

"Then what do you plan to do with this matter?" Zhou Hanqing asked.

"Of course I deny the accusation of the other party. As for the fine, I don't even have a dime." Chen Hao said without seriousness.

There are many anti-monopoly investigations against American Internet giants and technology giants in the EU. For example, Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are frequent visitors to anti-monopoly investigations. Every year, spending a lot of energy and money on lobbying fees and frequent negotiations.

Google, for example, ranked first among major companies last year with 5.75 million euros in lobbying spending.

The French competition authority will also impose a fine of 50 million euros on Lushu this time.

Anyway, Chen Hao didn't accept it.

"It seems that I've been worrying too much, you just need to know."

After a few chats, the phone hangs up.

Before Chen Hao could slow down, another call came in, but this call had to be answered.

Because the caller was Qian Jiahui.

"Chen Hao, I saw the news. France has launched an anti-monopoly investigation. Many people on Weibo are swearing, saying that Guanghua is in big trouble this time. Nothing will really happen, right?"

Qian Jiahui's worry could be felt through the phone.

But it is also normal. After all, when a country enters the market, not to mention the support of the European Union behind it, ordinary people feel scary to hear it.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes, "Don't trust Weibo, there are a bunch of self-media people who don't understand anything, what do they understand?"

Among all platforms, there are a lot of 500,000 people on Weibo and a certain channel. Every time they encounter an incident, they have a bunch of small essays, not only fabricated facts but also some fake pictures, which made many passers-by take it seriously.

"Really?" Qian Jiahui's inner tension eased slightly.

"Really, don't worry, it will be alright."

Chen Hao sneered at the corner of his mouth, "If the other party is persistent this time, I will announce that I will give up the French market. I want to see if their French citizens will be restless."

Smart thermostats are indeed a monopoly, but are there still few monopolies in reality?

Many of them have a national background, or should be said to be "official monopoly". The monopoly behavior that is really cracked down is because the background is not strong enough.

What is Guanghua afraid of?

The smart thermostat is the only one, love to buy it or not.

In any case, the production capacity has not yet increased, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to supply the domestic market alone.

"This...will this anger the other side's authorities?" Qian Jiahui became even more worried.

Even giants like Google and Apple cannot avoid compromises, setbacks and fines. Is it really okay to be as tough as Guanghua?

Chen Hao had to patiently appease Qian Jiahui.

After chatting and making phone calls for nearly an hour, the other party was relieved.

But just after France launched an antitrust investigation against Guanghua University and Lushu Group.

The European Commission announced that it has officially launched an anti-monopoly investigation against Lushu Group.

Subsequently.

in a house.

One person patted the table in dissatisfaction.

"What are they doing like this?"

"Guanghua University is our university in China, and Lushu Group is also our company. Even if there is a problem, it is our own internal investigation. It is not our turn to let outsiders like them bully!"

"We must fight back!"

"Let's not be strong, I'm afraid they will think we are a paper tiger!"

ps: Sorry, I had a stiff neck yesterday, and it was very uncomfortable to sit and code. In addition, my heart hurts again today, and my state is very low.

Hope to have two chapters tomorrow.
