Global monopoly of technology

The matter that SIA sent to contact was not publicized, but was very low-key. This move was to come to explore Luo Sheng’s attitude. They didn’t know whether Luo Sheng had the willingness to negotiate. They only knew it after they talked. Guessing is nothing but conjecture.

The recent actions of the Côte d'Azur, including breakthroughs in key technology nodes such as the Purple Star lithography machine, give outsiders the feeling that it means starting anew.

However, time is not on the side of SIA. The Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology must end their operations in North America around March, which is equivalent to Lao Mei set a time limit for itself.

Although it can continue to be postponed, the soft power will also be mad. This intangible loss is unacceptable to Lao Mei.

SIA sent people to contact and negotiate matters. Luo Sheng's team, mainly Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen, also met with each other.

...

"From the beginning and end of this incident, whether it is from the healthy development of the whole industry or from the consideration of one's own interests, it is necessary to sit down and discuss one or two, and resolve it safely.

At this moment, Yao Jianhong is receiving a contact person sent by SIA. This is very formulaic.

He looked at the foreigner sitting opposite and added calmly: "However, the interview and negotiation site you mentioned is in Seattle, and I forgive us not to accept it."

The hand-to-hand foreigner in formal clothes sitting opposite him asked, "Why?"

Yao Jianhong smiled in his heart, now is this situation going to your site?A fool would make such a decision, and I am afraid I have to stay there.

Regarding the choice of the negotiation venue, Luo Sheng has already considered this aspect. As a core figure of the company, if Yao Jianhong is intercepted by the other party, this will have a huge impact on the company.

Not to mention Luo Sheng himself.

The current situation is that SIA is passive.

Yao Jianhong said unhurriedly: "To be honest, face-to-face negotiation is not the current priority of our group company. The company is large and has many businesses. Recently, there is really no extra time to toss these things, but It’s okay to have a talk. We are also willing and sincere to talk, but if you really want to talk, please invite Mr. John Nobel to come here to talk. We will definitely receive the highest standards."

After speaking, Yao Jianhong couldn't help showing a "sincere" smile, and looked expectant.

Seeing his attitude, the other party couldn't get angry, wanted to get angry but couldn't show it, so he could only hold it in his heart.

Of course he heard Yao Jianhong’s subtext, and the implication was: I never thought about negotiation at all, and I have prepared for the worst. If you talk about it, it’s okay to relax, but you need to come and talk. Then I might take the time to talk with you.

Yao Jianhong's remarks also have a hint of threat. Since the Côte d’Azur does not include communication and reconciliation as the first priority, it is equivalent to indirectly indicating that the true first priority option is to prepare for the worst. .

Zixing lithography machine, LiFi technology, DNA storage technology are all corresponding forms.

At about the same time, another foreigner met with Zhang Bowen at the headquarters of Bluestar Technology. The talks were basically the same, and Zhang’s response was almost exactly the same as Yao Jianhong’s: you ask for the interview, or it’s possible, the place is in Lan Star Technology headquarters, not Seattle, North America.

Before meeting with the contact person sent by SIA, Zhang Bowen, Yao Jianhong and others had already unified their calibre.

...

As night enters here, the Western Hemisphere also enters daylight.

"The probability of the originally planned bankruptcy is as high as 90%. The other party is obviously alert and extremely cautious."

At the SIA headquarters, John Nobel spoke briefly to the CIA agent sitting in front of him about the news that had just arrived on the other side of the ocean. Old John continued: "This is expected, unless he is stupid. Up."

This is equivalent to John himself admitting his own gangsterism, which is true.

Alstom was killed by non-economic means, and the body is still not cool enough. If Luo Sheng really promised to come to Seattle, it would be impossible to achieve what it is today.

At this point, the people on Lao Mei's side are sober.

"In that case, I'll leave." The CIA agent stopped talking nonsense, got up and said a word and left.

John Nobel did not say anything. The CIA is the system department of the intelligence agency, and the SIA is the semiconductor industry association. The former is an organization that specializes in some ugly things, and the latter is an international industry organization. The two organizations are essentially different, let alone a subordination relationship, just cooperating for a common goal.

Playing a rogue is a good solution to the problem, but if people don't come, you won't be given the chance to be a rogue.

The last time Luo Sheng appeared in North America was the inter-enterprise roundtable meeting many years ago. He used this to hold a hearing. At that time, he wanted to attack him, but the plan went bankrupt. Later, after the CIA investigated, it was discovered that the other party actually had The alert caused the plan to go bankrupt.

Since then, Luo Sheng has never set foot in North America again.

If you want to use this method to achieve your goal, the people on Lao Mei's side are also self-aware. Although there are plans and arrangements, they don't have much expectation.

After all, you can't assume that Luo Sheng is really thoughtless, this is tantamount to lying to himself.

John Knoll knows that SIA is on the passive side. There is no good way at the moment. Competitors are already in force. If there is no real progress in such a stalemate, the contradictions within SIA will be intensified.

He knew that the international member companies, including those in North America, were making their own small calculations with each other.

"I can only go there once, Shet..."

...

On February 11th, John Nobel led a delegation to visit by special plane. When he walked out of the terminal building of Sioux City Airport, he found that a large group of media reporters had been staying for a long time.

Seeing this scene, the old man suddenly cursed "Madefaq" in his heart. SIA did not announce this trip in a high-profile manner. After all, negotiating on the away game itself reflects the softness of service, not very glorious, otherwise it would have started before coming. The high-profile announcement was made.

Obviously, John Knoll knew that this was an attack from his opponent.

"Mr. John, please accept our interview!"

"Mr. John, what are your expectations for this consultation? What changes will it bring to the entire industry?"

"Mr. John..."

The army of reporters whispered questions, and the camera shutter flickered quickly, and the entire terminal building seemed to be noisy like a vegetable market.

Under the protection of his bodyguards, John Nobel drove unimpeded all the way. Facing the group of reporters, he directly ignored, expressionless and refused all interview requests, and finally entered his special car and left the airport smoothly.

The news has begun to spread, and the semiconductor industry is undoubtedly highly concerned. Some people look forward to it, some hesitate, and some people watch the excitement.

This interview and consultation is considered by the industry to be the beginning of a reshuffle in the field of integrated circuits. It is related to the future trend of the entire industry, and the future of the semiconductor industry will indirectly affect the trend of many other technology industries. Not too much.
