The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 364 The world where the weak eat the strong

The academic world has been deeply influenced by Western trends of thought. In addition, the best years of life were at a time when there was a huge productivity gap between developed countries. The combination of growth environment and learning content has led most of these people to worship Western theoretical systems. for the Bible.

Western scholars and politicians all know how to keep pace with the times, and from time to time they update the theories they believed in in the past and repair the theoretical system. On the contrary, in the first decade of the 21st century, the East completely followed the pace of the West.

Even if Americen adopts administrative measures to deal with Xinxin, this obviously violates the laws of the market and overturns its past belief in the so-called market regulation and the market as an invisible hand. Most of the scholars and decision-makers in China have Instead of questioning what American advocates and what it does are not the same thing, it instead helps them find excuses.

If the other person hits you, it must be because you are wrong and you have done something wrong. Otherwise, why would Amerika hit you instead of hitting others?
Amerikan is the biological father. The existence of Xinxin has affected the relationship between our biological father and us. We should investigate clearly and take reciprocal measures now. This is an act regardless of the overall situation.

There are many similar remarks. Cao Yongluo became very angry just after hearing the version that was circulated. His heart was filled with anger. He hoped to attend the seminar held by the Ministry of Commerce in person to bring together these experts and bureaucrats who held similar views. Squirt wildly.

Zhou Xin is not surprised. The era of proliferation of social media in later generations has exposed the true level of many experts and bureaucrats in propaganda, liberal arts, academic circles, and economic and trade circles.

If this group of so-called experts cannot keep up with the times, have no independent thinking ability, and are completely reduced to tools for chanting scriptures, then the bureaucrats maintain good relations with Western countries headed by Amerikan, which is related to their vital interests.

I won’t go into details here, it’s just for the reasons of assets going overseas and family going overseas.

This is still the case more than ten years later, let alone now. After hearing this, Zhou Xin was not as angry as Cao Yongluo. He said calmly: "I understand, I will go to Yanjing to talk to the relevant leaders."

Cao Yongluo asked curiously: "Aren't you angry?

Amerikan targets us at will. We want to target them, but we have strong internal opposition. "

People like Cao Yongluo are accustomed to fairness in life, and no one dares to be unfair to him. He is unfamiliar with this situation that is beyond his daily life experience.

The education his family gave him, including his grandfather telling him stories about the Korean War, always promoted the idea that China is not afraid of any challenges.

As a result, the reality is that after China became rich, it lost the courage to face Amerikan.

It’s not that Cao Yongluo doesn’t know what the experts say makes sense. If the situation escalates, China will not be able to bear the price. But he is also an entrepreneur. Can America, who is still in the financial crisis, afford to lose China as a source of low-priced goods? The price?
If you don’t even dare to face the struggle in the business field, what about another battlefield?

This is the core of Cao Yongluo's dissatisfaction.

Zhou Xin said: "Be angry, but anger will not help solve the problem.

And compared to being angry, I have too many things to do now and there is no time to be angry. "

"Henry, we have known each other for more than ten years. You are the highest-ranking official I know in Washington. I want to ask what exactly is going on?

I paid a huge price to join EUV LLC. I remember what you told me at the time was that you had communicated with the Department of Energy. However, in less than two years, the Department of Energy kicked Xinxin out of EUV LLC. .

Is this Amerikan’s national credibility? "Zhou Xin was very calm when communicating with Cao Yongluo, but his tone of communication with Henry Paulson was full of anger.

He knew that when he was on the phone with Paulson, he didn't know how many people were listening, and he needed to show his attitude.

In this matter, Amerikan was sorry for me, and I completely suffered the loss of being dumb.

Henry sighed: "Newman, I can't have the final say on this kind of thing.

After Obama came to power, representatives of the forces behind him had their own ideas. They felt that Xinxin was developing chip technology too fast, so fast that they felt they could not give Xinxin any more time to develop.

If we give new cores more time to develop, Amerikan will not be able to restrict China's technological development in the semiconductor field. This is the fundamental reason behind these two things.

Of course, I believe you can guess it yourself without telling you. "Henry said this to find reasons for his explanation just now.

He didn't know whether his conversation would be heard by other agencies. Henry needed to ensure that what he said could convince Zhou Xin without arousing the suspicion of the Amerikan hyenas.

As for why he needed a guarantee, he wanted to be a senior executive at a Wall Street financial institution after leaving the Ministry of Finance, so it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin said: "Is there no room for maneuver?
I remember that promoting NewPay’s listing included helping you deal with Merrill Lynch. I thought there was a certain tacit understanding between me and the White House, and we were a cooperative relationship. "

Henry said: "Yes, the White House and you have a cooperative relationship, but Xinxin is not just your company, it is a Chinese company.

Chinese companies have developed too fast in the chip field, leading to an imbalance in overall industrial distribution, which is unacceptable to the White House. "

The overall industrial distribution is unbalanced. The subtext is that the chip industry is allocated to the Goryeo and Wanwan regions, while the lower-end assembly, rough processing and textile industries are allocated to China. China has crossed the line.

"Including the Zhangjiang Park, it led the White House to make such a decision. I estimate that after the specific executive order is further refined, Obama will personally apologize to you later."

If the person who succeeds Obama is a real villain, then he is a pure hypocrite who is extremely good at acting, especially in front of the camera.

Zhou Xin said calmly: "He apologized for the political donation I donated to him, not for the unfair treatment suffered by Xinxin. Such an apology is meaningless and will only make me realize that this world is a world of the jungle and the strong." .

Sometimes you even get beaten when you are strong. "

Previously, Shenhai said that it would build Zhangjiang Park into a benchmark for Silicon Valley and Hsinchu. Foreign countries did not know about this at all, and few media even reported on it.

With the rise of Xinxin and more than 90.00% of the world's smartphone chips related to Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park, the Zhangjiang threat has been repeatedly mentioned by European and American media.

This is the consequence of being strong. If you eat the cake of others, others will target you.

"Newman, I don't want to argue. There are many things that I can't decide. I will step down soon. It is estimated that I will leave after the US$7000 billion distribution plan is finalized in the first half of the year." Henry said.

Zhou Xin nodded silently on the other end of the phone: "But I will not accept the fate assigned to me."

Matrix hired Edwin Chen to serve as Matrix's plenipotentiary representative in Washington, who would contact lobbying organizations to try to get more time and space for Matrix.

Xinxin hired the law firm Amerikan Jones Day to formally sue Amerikan's Ministry of Commerce for unfair behavior in market competition.

Jones Day is a top law firm, and they were the ones who litigated Xiaomi’s lawsuit against Amerikan’s Ministry of Commerce in later generations.Top-notch means expensive. From the beginning to the end, at least tens of millions of dollars are lost. If it drags on for three to five years, the litigation costs will reach nine figures.

Unlike eight years ago, the only consensus between donkeys and elephants is to suppress the development of China. Without this consensus now, it would be about 30% cheaper to find a lobbying agency.

But this is also a huge expense.

Therefore, there is no essential difference between different countries in terms of power and money. Yanjing has money to run the department, and Washington has congressional lobbyists. Their essence is to use people in core positions to leverage social resources.

"New Core Group announced that it had sued Americen's Ministry of Energy and Commerce in the District Court of Colombia on March 3, Eastern Time, over Americen's ban on Matrix's purchase of New Core chips."

After the news came out, the already boiling public opinion boiled further.

Colombian courts have appeared in many places. The earliest Microsoft monopoly case was fought in this court. IBM sued Microsoft, Cisco sued Apple, etc. A large number of large corporate relationships were sued in Colombian courts.

Why?Columbia Courthouse is named Columbia, but it's not like Columbia University in New York, nor is it the city of Columbia, the capital of South Carolina.Columbian Courthouse in Washington.

Its prefix Columbia is the District of Columbia, which is Washington, DC.

There are several courts in Colombia, including the District of Columbia Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, the District of Columbia Federal District Court, the Columbia Superior Court, and the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The court usually starts with the district court, and the final decision is the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

These may not seem like much difference, but in fact they make a huge difference in operation.

"I'm honored to be able to interview Newman." Simon Elliott and Michael Elliott stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xin respectively.

Simon Elliott is the chief of the Yanjing bureau of Time magazine, and Michael Elliott is also a China expert. The opening cover article of Time magazine the year before last year, "China: The Beginning of a New Dynasty," was written by Michael.

This time, Time Magazine specially arranged for the two of them to interview Zhou Xin.

There are many media who want to interview Zhou Xin, and the world's top media all hope to get this opportunity. At this juncture, is there anything more topical than the fight between Zhou Xin and Amerikan?

Zhou Xin chose Time Magazine because Xinxing Investment is the majority shareholder of Time Magazine.

At the end of last year, due to the financial crisis, Time Warner chose to retain only its core departments. They sold Quora to Yahoo, Time Magazine to Emerging Investments, and so on.

They retained only Warner Bros. Pictures, HBO and Time Warner Television Network.

Time Magazine owns a series of well-known brands such as "Time", "People", and "Sports Express". However, due to the financial crisis, their advertising revenue dropped by nearly 30%, and Time Warner had no choice but to take action.

After Zhou Xin shook hands with them, he leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa, showing a very relaxed state overall.

Both Michael and Simon in front of them knew that he had become the majority shareholder of Time Magazine at the end of last year, so they needed to show Zhou Xin their content before publishing it. Zhou Xin could only publish it if he felt it was okay.

So Zhou Xin didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. This was not a live broadcast.

"Hello."

"Newman, what do you think of the series of measures adopted by American against New Core?" Michael asked, and Simon translated.

Michael can speak Chinese, but for an interview of this level, they do not want to have any distortion or deviation in the original semantics, so Simon, who has more than ten years of experience in living in China, serves as the translator.

Zhou Xin said: “This is unfair competition. When American realizes that they cannot compete with their competitors in key areas, they will adopt such measures that are beyond the scope of the market.

Neon had suffered in the 80s, and this time it was Xinxin's turn. "

Michael's relaxed facial expression suddenly tightened. He originally thought that Zhou Xin was just saying some official rhetoric and once again expressing his attitude through a formal interview.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xin wanted to talk about this matter from the perspective of history and the past, which also meant that this interview would not be so boring.

"This statement is very common in some self-media. Neon Enterprise defeated Americen Enterprise in the field of memory chips, and Americen Company took administrative measures to force Neon Enterprise to lose its competitiveness.

However, Neon Enterprises collapsed in this field, and Americen Enterprises did not occupy the memory chip market. Instead, Korean companies such as Samsung and Hynix took the opportunity to rise, and Americen Enterprises did not take any further measures to deal with Korean enterprises.

So Newman, I don't think your view is objective. "

Zhou Xin explained: "Michael, Samsung, or Hynix, they seem to be Korean companies, but in fact most of the capital behind them comes from Amerikan."

Michael retorted: "Samsung Electronics is listed on Americen. 30% of the shares behind it are Samsung Group, and Americen's capital only accounts for 40%."

Zhou Xin: "Samsung's capital investment in the electronics field last year was US$67.4 billion. Can they come up with this money themselves?

Most of them still come from Wall Street, and more than 50% of Samsung Group's shares are Amerikan's financial institutions.

Because Samsung Group is not listed, these have not been put on the table. "

In the early stage of industrialization transformation, Goryeo had no capital at all. Neon relied on external plunder, and China relied on scissors to use rural labor surplus to complete primitive accumulation. Goryeo was unable to follow these two paths. They could only complete primitive accumulation by borrowing money from Wall Street.

This primitive accumulation method also resulted in a large number of Korea's core assets actually being in the hands of America.

Michael: "Well, what you said may make sense. Americen took administrative measures to deal with Xinxin in order to maintain Americen's strong position in the semiconductor field.

But there is also Americen Capital behind New Core. As far as I know, New Core has not resisted investment from Americen Enterprises.

Why is American so wary of new cores? "
