Chapter 987 Rules Are Made To Win

First came the U.S. Department of Commerce’s anti-monopoly investigation, and then the Department of Justice followed up, with sharp swords pointing at Xingkong Technology’s vitals.

If convicted, and the lithium-air battery has not yet been launched, Xingkong Technology may have to bear a fine of up to billions of dollars because of the SH standard and patent bundling agreement.

The offensive of such cheats came one after another, and the United States seems to have made up its mind to attack this high-tech company with a Chinese background.

On the second day after the Ministry of Justice's report was issued, the news spread back to China along with the reports of major media and the news of the US Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation.

And almost as soon as the news came back to the country, heated discussions erupted instantly.

[Fuck, Yankee is the lifeblood of Xingkong Technology! 】

[Too shameless! It was sold as garbage when it was worthless in the past, but now it has been found to be valuable by our research, and we are starting to say that patent trading is illegal. If there is a problem, why did we go so early? 】

[Flies don't bite seamless eggs, in my opinion, Xingkong Technology is too jumpy, and won't keep a low profile! If they abide by American laws honestly and don't forcefully push that SH standard, will they be sanctioned? 】

[Fuck you! Why do we have to use Yankee standards for the technology we have developed by ourselves? What's more, the charging pile system using the SH standard is now only available in Shanghai in the world, right? When will the American police be able to come to Shanghai to enforce the law? 】

【…】

Compared with the painting style on Facebook, the scarf is undoubtedly much more intense, and greetings to family members also happen from time to time.

Of course, in addition to the fierce debate and abuse, there were also some people with ulterior motives who got involved.

For example, on Quora, a well-known quizer with hundreds of thousands of fans, an expert in the financial industry and international relations research, wrote a long article centering on "procedural justice" and "rules of the game" These two concepts answer the question "How to view Xingkong Technology being sanctioned by the US Department of Commerce",

[Thanks for the invitation, I'm in New York, just got off the plane. 】

[In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a problem of Huaguo enterprises not acclimatizing when they enter the international market. 】

[Our country has many enterprises with excellent research and development capabilities, but what contradicts advanced science and technology is backward management experience. Although many enterprises have reached the level of the world's top 500, they still cannot avoid small farmers' thinking and feudalism in management. The two big mountains of thought, thinking that there are "methods" to work around with official support in China, and that they can do whatever they want in the international arena as they do in China, this idea itself is naive. 】

[In fact, the United States is not worried about being surpassed by Huaguo. On the contrary, the rise of Huaguo's technology is in line with the interests of the United States, and the United States also encourages Huaguo to surpass them. However, the problem is that most Huaguo companies are not aware of this. If you beat them according to the rules of the game, they will be willing to admit defeat and give you a thumbs up. But if you don't follow the rules of the game, don't blame others for using the rules to teach you how to behave! 】

As soon as this article came out, it immediately spread to other platforms, causing many netizens to repost it frantically.

The purpose of some of them forwarding it is of course to scold the public who wrote this article for distorting the facts, and a small number of people are convinced by the viewpoint of this article.

But no matter what the purpose is, the purpose of the person who wrote this article has indeed been achieved.

In terms of reading volume alone, this article is completely popular...

...

"I saw the good show, but it seems that we are about to be investigated by the anti-monopoly."

At the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou, sitting in the dean's office, was talking on the phone with his senior sister.

Because the college entrance examination in early June is only a few days away, in order to cheer for the high school students among his fans, Lu Zhou posted some words on his scarf about the exam skills and "I'm waiting for you at Jinda University" .

As a result, there were not many candidates who thanked him in the comment area, and one or two fans who were crazy about Aite, forwarded, and privately messaged him were afraid that he didn't know that his company was sanctioned.

In fact, his dog fans really guessed it right this time. Because the distance from June is getting closer and closer, Lu Zhou spent most of his energy on the research of Riemann's conjecture. He didn't pay attention to Xingkong Technology's patent business and the recent situation of the start-up company he financed.

If someone hadn't tapped him on the scarf, he really wouldn't have known that his company would soon be on the Yankee sanctions list.

Chen Yushan on the other end of the phone seemed not to be worried, and even teased him.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it just being targeted? My sister is covering you."

Lu Zhou: "..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking," Chen Yushan seemed to feel the speechlessness coming along the phone line, and then changed her tone seriously after a smile, and continued, "Is there any staff above the deputy department recently?" Officials have come to look for you? I mean from Shangjing."

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Does the Bureau of Science and Industry count?"

The old man surnamed Li came to him every now and then, almost treating his office as his second home.

Chen Yushan smiled slightly: "That's fine, you can rest assured."

Lu Zhou froze for a moment and said, "Is this the end?"

Chen Yushan: "Of course. If it's just competition between companies, it's a market behavior, and the country will not intervene in anything. It's the same for China and the United States."

"But this is obviously not the case now. Because of the lithium-air battery, the SH standard we introduced has obviously gained the upper hand in the market. American new energy vehicle companies and charging pile companies have only two choices, either accept our standard, or Give up lithium-air batteries."

"Obviously, although there are two options in front of them, this is actually a multiple-choice question."

And it's a sending proposition.

Refusal to change means elimination.

Unless the entire industry abandons lithium-air battery technology, consumers will naturally make better choices through comparison when lithium-air batteries perform better than lithium-sulfur batteries in new energy vehicles.

However, it is impossible for the entire industry to abandon lithium-air battery technology.

Among other things, at least Huaguo Enterprise was the first to refuse.

Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully: "So, this game is about to win now. The Americans quit and plan to smash the board. Am I right?"

Chen Yushan smiled slightly and said: "Bingo! It's absolutely right! Of course smashing the chessboard is also a way of playing chess. You have to know that all the rules are made for winning, and you can naturally break the rules in order to win."

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Zhou, who was leaning on the office chair and holding his mobile phone, continued to ask curiously, "We are just a company anyway, and we are still too weak compared to the power of the national level. Order."

Chen Yushan: "That's right, so there is no need to compare. From the moment the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice personally smashed the chessboard, the players on the chessboard have changed."

"It's impossible for the relevant departments to pretend not to notice. Whether it's Director Li or whoever came to Jinling from Shangjing to ask you about the situation, they have already shown Shangjing's attitude very clearly." Chen Yushan curled the corners of her mouth and continued in a relaxed tone. Said, "So far, this is no longer a matter between enterprises and enterprises, but a contest at the national level."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly.

"I see. No wonder you said that the game of chess is over, and you want to treat me to a good show."

"Yeah, what we should do has already been done, and the rest is just waiting for it," Chen Yushan sighed softly, and said in a tone of emotion, "Actually, it will take a few years to do it." Before, I would never dare to adopt such a radical strategy, and now I have this condition."

In fact, when lithium-sulfur batteries first came out, Xingkong Technology also had the conditions to do so.

With the help of lithium-sulfur batteries compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries in terms of reliability and battery life, let alone setting industry standards for new energy vehicles, it is not impossible to put this knife on the necks of Apple and Samsung.

It is enough to find any domestic electronic equipment manufacturers such as Huawei and Dami, and recruit any one to open a breakthrough.

However, it is a theoretical matter in theory, but if it is really played like this, it is basically the same as suicide.

Just the new energy vehicles, an industry that does not represent the core interests of the United States, has touched the sensitive nerves of the United States and caused such a big reaction from the White House.

If we do the same thing in communications equipment, an industry that touches the core interests of the United States...

Not to mention being photographed to death, I am afraid that Huawei and Rice may not dare to cooperate with Xingkong Technology to play such a big game. This kind of rush to get on the blacklist is not a last resort, it must be as far away as possible.

"What a weak country does not have is not only diplomacy. On the contrary, everything that a strong country should have will sooner or later be there. Just like the island of Manhattan never exports a single banknote, but the people on Manhattan Island can plunder the world with dollars wealth. Is this because their financial products or trading skills are very good? It may be in the means, but it is not in essence.”

"...Our situation is actually similar. Business operations are very important, and patent operations are also very important. But do you know that I can win not because of how clever I am?"

Lu Zhou asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Chen Yushan: "Because of you."

"……I?"

"Yes," Chen Yushan curled her lips, and said in a relaxed but not joking tone, "Our victory has been doomed since the light that Haizhou ignited three years ago."

"Just wait and see, even if our opponents are Tesla and Exxon Mobil, or even Wall Street, which stands behind them, and the White House, which will end in person, we will win this battle!"
