Chapter 474 The Tide of the Times

It seems that everything is going in a good direction.

Foreign companies have suddenly become good friends who are friendly and easy to negotiate with, and Daxia friendly companies are also working hard on the hardware side.

Some experts even said at a major forum: "In such a good development environment, we will definitely be able to narrow the technological gap between the domestic semiconductor industry and developed countries, and may even surpass them and completely break the chip blockade imposed on us by others."

But what is the truth?

On the night of welcoming the executives of AS-ML of the Netherlands, Gao Shan of Xiaxin Technology made an encrypted satellite call to Gu Qing.

"Mr. Gu, please rest assured that this is just the lithography machine that was ordered before. Regardless of whether they really deliver it or not, our company will not interrupt the process of semiconductor upgrades..."

Faced with Gao Shan's solemn promise, Gu Qing did not doubt it. After all, Xiaxin Technology is now using Jiuzhou Technology's technology and implementing Jiuzhou Technology's production standards. The process links have largely adopted Jiuzhou Technology's industrial software. The total order amount has exceeded 100 billion. How could it be possible to get off the ship?

So he comforted her instead: "Don't worry, I understand your difficulties, and there are still many semiconductor companies in our country whose production lines are old models. When the other party really gives us the lithography machine, we will just take it."

After a conversation, Gao Shan finally felt relieved.

And then...

On February 10, Jiuzhou Technology announced that it would file a lawsuit against Uncle Sam FCC, demanding that it revoke the company's decision that it posed a threat to security and allow it to sell equipment worth billions of dollars, including data security technology.

The baguette of Jiuzhou Technology's legal department has become a baguette harder than the Gallic rooster after the baptism of wind and frost over the years!

Li Tao, director of the legal department, said: "The FCC lacks 'substantial evidence' and failed to give the company a chance to defend itself before the regulations were finalized. Uncle Sam's hasty order affected the economic interests of the entire high-tech manufacturing industry and data information industry in the world."

Due to Jiuzhou Technology's vigorous expansion on social platforms in recent years, the overseas community is also developing in full swing, so with its strong streaming capabilities, Jiuzhou Technology's move has attracted countless attention.

Overnight, all the people who were related to finance and technology, lawyer Zhang San, etc., were forwarding this news and expressing their opinions.

This high-density information bombardment confused everyone.

"Who can tell me which version this game is? There are too many updates recently!"

"Pizza Hut and Dowagers should learn from this. Don't be arrogant at home. Go outside and bite people if you have the guts!"

"Cold knowledge, the success rate of Chengdu Baguette in winning lawsuits exceeds 95%, and the winning rate in cross-border lawsuits is as high as 89%. Most of the remaining 11% reached an out-of-court settlement."

Foreign netizens are even more eager to watch the fun.

"Brandon, come on~ヾ(°°)"

"fknews? NONONO, may God bless Jiuzhou Technology to defeat Uncle Sam."

"It's ridiculous, why does Jiuzhou Technology encounter this problem in North America? They should be engaged in business activities and technology research and development that have nothing to do with politics. It's obvious that Uncle Sam wants to rob!"

"Their arrows give certain death, they are all men of war. Their quivers are open graves. They are all warriors!"

In the lively atmosphere, someone suddenly cried.

I don't know if it's because the hot spots are transferred too quickly. Facebook, which was originally a very hot platform, has seen its stock price plummet since the annual report came out... The market value has shrunk by more than 30%.

At this time, Uncle Sam's spokesperson kept silent about the lawsuit, and the U.S. stock market was in an uproar because of the collapse of Facebook's stock price. It seemed that the big moves of companies such as Jiuzhou Technology and Xiaxin Technology had lost their ability to think for a short time.

Wall Street securities tycoons even publicly said: "The actions of those foreign companies cannot affect us at all. Capital has already entered all walks of life in Daxia."

I don't know how the capital invaded, but the US stock market began to fluctuate wildly.

The first breakthrough was that Facebook was dug deep. Its platform lost about 800,000 logins every day in the last quarter of the Xia Yinxing calendar 1021. From this perspective, without considering the authenticity of the data, Facebook now has only about 930 million users signing in every day.

Then Facebook's market value on the stock exchange continued to fall, losing more than 300 billion US dollars in just two days.

Robot Zuckerberg blamed all this on people spending more time on other applications, such as TikTok and Jiuzhou Community.

But investors and users will not listen to him.

Facebook seems to be in a dangerous situation where the more the stock price collapses, the more short selling there will be.

Amid the uproar, the stock prices of high-tech companies such as Qualcomm and Pingguo actually began to rise.

Jiuzhou Technology Community in Chengdu

Gu Qing lay in a rocking chair, looking at the US stock trend analysis projected on the wall, with a smile on his lips.

"Although the death of a whale brings life to all things, can a Facebook fatten you up? You won't have a good time in the cold winter ahead~"

In order to avoid being bitten by a dog, Gu Qing has never moved Jiuzhou Technology's funds to the US stock market to make trouble. Now that he sees the other side starting to fight among themselves, he feels indescribably relieved.

"But this is also a classic case. The dominant player in entertainment application software was beaten to a pulp in just three years because of some small ideas. In the field of technology, only basic hardware is stable enough. Even if I use cross-version technology to crush the opponent, it must be done step by step due to market acceptance and domestic environment."

Just after complaining, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Qing snapped his fingers and the projection was instantly turned off.

Zhou Yi walked into the office and stood beside Gu Qing.

He bowed and handed over a folder, and sighed: "As you expected, European and American industrial software giants and semiconductor giants have joined forces to sue us, and some of their companies have branches in Daxia, so we should have a few lawsuits to fight."

Gu Qing flipped through a few pages and almost laughed out loud.

"Transnational lawsuits are about playing the national security card, and domestic lawsuits are about playing the malicious competition card? There are some technical plagiarism and patent disputes in between. Aren't they tired of playing these cards? I'm tired of watching these versions."

Faced with the ridicule of his boss, Zhou Yi was indifferent.

He is serious and careful in doing things, and does not express his opinions casually. This is his principle.

"Mr. Gu, more than half of our legal department's elite have been transferred to the project of initiating a lawsuit against Uncle Sam FCC, so facing these overseas and domestic lawsuits, the legal department may be short of manpower."

Jiuzhou Technology's R&D and manufacturing departments have been developing at a high speed. In contrast, although the legal department has been recruiting more people with high salaries, it is indeed in an awkward situation where there are more wolves and more meat.
