Chapter 260 Official Results
At the conference table, the chairman of the committee, Reese, sat in a state of tension, watching every delegate with his eyes. There was no expression on everyone's face, and some people made eye contact with each other, as if a decision had already been made in their hearts.
Rees said: "Before the voting begins, we will first announce the preliminary approval opinions. If you have different opinions, you can put them forward."
"Huaxia Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. applies for cooperation with three telecom operators, AT&T, VERIAZON, and SPRINT-NEXTEL in my country for smart product cooperation..."
"After a serious investigation, the chip data of Hongxin smart products is unknown, and it is impossible to prove whether they have security vulnerabilities. According to the requirements of the US Department of Information Security, such suspected information technology products should be strictly controlled. Therefore, we initially believe that AT&T, The three companies, VERIAZON and SPRINT-NEXTEL, should abide by the joint request of the Federal Communications Commission and the US Department of Information Security, and stop all cooperation with Huaxia Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.!”
"Do you have any doubts about this?"
After Reese asked, none of the people present said a word. Each of them is a representative of a certain interest group. Unfortunately, they all agree that the Red Letter Group will harm their interests, and of course they will not speak for them.
Tyler Walker wore a suit with a serious look on his face, as if he was a fair and unfair representative. He said righteously: "I fully support the decision of the committee. According to the investigation, there may be a secret agreement between Hongxin Group and Huaxia officials. , endangering my country's information security. Therefore, this ban must be strictly enforced!"
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded. A vote followed, and unsurprisingly, the ban was unanimously approved by the FCC.
An official from the Ministry of Information Security said with satisfaction: "For such a wise decision, we express our great support and thank you for your contribution to maintaining national information security."
Subsequently, the FCC officially announced the news.
Countless companies and capitalists are paying attention to Hongxin's strategic plan to enter the US market, and even include the economic departments of some countries.
This news caused a thousand waves, some people were happy, some people were angry.
AT&T, Gru got the news before the news broke.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "This Lu Yan really didn't compromise. Now that the ban has come out, Red Letter probably won't be able to enter the US market within a few years."
"We don't have any losses," said another vice president in the office. "If Red Letter grows in the communications industry, it will be a threat to the entire U.S. communications and smart product market. Such a decision is a wise decision."
"It's a pity." Gru smiled. "Apple has already lost twice in their hands. In this meeting, Apple must have spent a lot of effort to stop them."
He guessed right, and at this point, Apple's board members breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike other companies, Apple does not have so-called individual shareholders, but is collectively held by major capital groups, with more than 2,000 institutions holding a certain amount of Apple shares.
Therefore, fluctuations in Apple's stock price will affect financial markets around the world.
The previous failures in the Chinese market and the island country market have caused Apple to lose a lot of profits directly and indirectly. This time Hongxin wants to enter the US market, and they have spent much effort behind it.
The rapid implementation of the ban on red letters is also the result of the joint efforts of major interest groups. In addition to the interest groups behind Apple, other smart product companies and related interest groups in the communications industry have also added fire.
The ban made little waves in the U.S. media, and not even a few media outlets reported it. The American people are very unfamiliar with the red letter. Even if a small number of people know about it, it will not change the big trend, and naturally they will not care about this issue.
However, in the country, it caused an uproar.
This is the headline of the day.
"Hongxin Group suffered unfair treatment in the United States and was banned from cooperating with telecom operators!"
New Wolf News: "Hongxin's plan for the US market has been frustrated, and after Huawei, it has become the second brand banned by the United States!"
Penguin News: "Relevant U.S. Departments Announce: Prohibition of Hongxin Smart Products from Cooperating with U.S. Operators!"
UC News: "Red Letter is banned? What the hell is going on?"
...
Many media reported that, seeing the news content, netizens also felt indignant and complained one after another.
"It's so shameless! They actually banned Hongxin from cooperating with telecom operators, so they said that Hongxin mobile phones can't be sold in the United States? Why can't American mobile phones be sold in our country, but our mobile phones can't be sold in their country?"
"What kind of spam committee is this? Do you suspect that there are information security loopholes in the red letter? Why do you come up with evidence? Just make a decision based on suspicion? Haha!"
"Hey, I had expected it. Red Letter's product is so powerful, stronger than Apple's, that Americans simply dare not let it enter the market."
"What's the use of what you say here? People in the United States don't care about you at all!"
"I am an American student in Huaxia. The red letter mobile phone is so easy to use, why don't they let them sell it? Are they all in the water?"
...
The news media also made a specific analysis of this matter: "The ban of Hongxin in the United States is not accidental, but inevitable. In this way, Hongxin Group's entry into the North American market will be far away, and their global expansion plan will be frustrated. .
The North American market is the world's largest smart product market. As long as Hongxin cannot enter the North American market to grab market share, it will be difficult for Hongxin to become a world-class technology company.
Hongxin will respond to this matter in this way, and we still need to see the next move of Hongxin. Here, the editor makes a bold prediction. In all likelihood, Hongxin will temporarily abandon the US market and shift its development direction to the European market. "
The ban has a great impact, and even Huaxia diplomats pointed out in their speeches that they strongly condemned the unfair judgments made by the United States against some Chinese companies, which will affect the economic exchanges between the two countries.
You must know that if Hongxin can succeed in the American market, it will attract a lot of capital from the United States to Huaxia and contribute to the Chinese economy.
However, the relevant U.S. departments have simply responded to this, and still will not make any changes to the judgment.
This matter is almost a certainty.
Everyone in the Red Letter Group is discussing this matter. It is the first time that Hongxin has encountered such a large resistance since the market expansion.
Hongxin's smart products can be said to be the center of the entire group. With smart products as carriers, other games, software, batteries and other products can also be sold to the US market at the same time. Now that the US market has closed the door, all plans have come to nothing. .
