Global monopoly of technology

Luo Sheng's $1 trillion hitting Ya Investment Bank is considered to have offended the Eurozone and North America at the same time. Perhaps he should be more confident and offend the entire West.

If it were a month ago, Luo Sheng would definitely not dare to do this, but now it is different, holding trillions of dollars in liquidity, the key is that more than half of the assets entrusted by European and American capitalists to take care of him, even if they lose money. You can pat your butt and leave. Anyway, it's not your own money, and you won't feel distressed at all, so naturally you are bolder.

If you are so afraid to let yourself go, it is not Luo Sheng's style.

...

On March 25, Ouzhou also moved very fast.

On this day, Oumeng formally passed the vote and introduced the GDPR bill, namely the General Data Protection Law.

GDPR strictly restricts the collection and abuse of user data by Internet companies. Although the bill only applies to users in Europe, the impact is huge, especially for global multinational technology companies.

The regulations of the bill are about how user data in the Eurasian area should be used by companies, and new stricter rules have been introduced to obtain people's consent for data processing.

According to regulations, if a company that holds consumer user data realizes that the data has been leaked, in some cases, it must notify the user within 72 hours.

The passage of the GDPR means that the operation of the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology in the Ouzhou market has violated the regulations. Not only that, but the Silicon Valley technology giants have also suffered. There is no Internet technology company in Ouzhou, which is basically a Chinese technology company. Giants and Silicon Valley technology giants are fighting here, plus a Samsung Group.

People in Ouzhou are not only upset by Luo Sheng's company, but also upset by all these multinational technology giants.

...

The next day, Margaret Vestag, the head of the antitrust chief of the EC Commission’s competition commissioner, spoke in the media, saying that the data regulators have found that they include not only Bluestar Technology, Côte d’Azur, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, etc. Multinational technology groups have more or less violated the GDPR.

When this news came out, the outside world subconsciously thought that a series of adjustments were already in progress, and the ticket was already on the way.

The technology companies named by her own Luo Sheng's Azure Coast and Blue Star Technology have not been fined, while other Silicon Valley technology giants have been severely slaughtered in the past two years.

On the contrary, the Silicon Valley technology giants are so angry that they are gnawing their teeth against the old woman Margaret Vestag. Since he took office as the antitrust commissioner of the League in 2014, those famous names in Silicon Valley have Almost all of the tech giants fell into his hands.

In two years, the North American technology giants Google, Amazon, Microsoft and other companies were fined one time, and the total fines reached 22 billion euros.

Microsoft has been the worst in the past two years. It was punished to have a tingling scalp because of the forced installation of its own video player in its Windows system. The big guys looked sullen, but they could only pinch their noses to recognize them.

The only ones that have not been targeted by Vestagg are Luo Sheng's Blue Star Technology and the Blue Coast, which has made Silicon Valley's technology giants resentful.

But now, Vestag finally has to start with Bluestar Technology and the Azure Coast.

...

March 27.

In the Science and Technology Complex, Luo Sheng’s private office, at the moment, he is conducting video communications with Zhang Bowen of Bluestar Technology and Yao Jianhong of the Blue Coast.

"I just received news that the European antitrust investigator, Vestagg, has formally accused Bluestar Technology’s big data and cloud computing services of violating antitrust provisions, and set out 15% of Bluestar’s one-year revenue. Fine." Zhang Bowen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jianhong immediately said: "The Côte d'Azur is similar. The reason for the accusation is that the WOS system has violated the antitrust provisions, and a fine of 15% of the company's annual revenue has been thrown."

15% of the annual revenue in the fine is not the company's global revenue, but the company's one-year revenue in the Ouzhou market.

But it is also an astronomical figure.

Bluestar Technology generated 45.2 billion euros in revenue in Ouzhou last year. Once this happens, the fine will be as high as 6.78 billion euros, which means that Bluestar Technology has done nothing this year, and even has to pay for it.

The Côte d'Azur has set an annual revenue of 78.8 billion euros in the Ouzou market, which is equivalent to paying a huge fine of 11.82 billion euros in proportion.

The two fines totaled 18.6 billion euros, or about 136.5 billion yuan, making them the largest fine in history without any suspense.

"18.6 billion euros, it's worthy of me." Luo Sheng didn't seem to feel any anxious about the news. He only slowly added: "The company was fined, and I was personally accused of maliciously shorting European financial markets. The SEC is now in a lawsuit with my team of lawyers. The debt and debt disputes over the years have been a pot of porridge, and this is not a problem."

Lao Zhang and the two also laughed lowly. They felt that how many lawsuits the BOSS is entangled with now, it is estimated that he himself does not know, and they are both fighting against the organization.

However, he does not need to attend the court trial in person. In these cases, the corresponding lawyers have been entrusted to attend the lawsuit against the other party. What should he do?

"Vestag publicly stated that if the fine is not paid, the company will be allowed to get out of the European market." Lao Zhang, who was here, couldn't help but swear: "This is a good thing to turn around faster than a book. The European market has smashed so much capital, want to drive us away?"

Luo Sheng directly made a decision: "I set the tone here. Vestag was wrong when he regarded me as a Silicon Valley technology giant. I would not pay a penny for the ticket, nor would I be able to beat the market. withdraw."

Yao Jianhong said: "Then how do we respond?"

Luo Sheng analyzed: "The issue of the ticket is late or early. It's just this time that it is mostly caused by the cooperation between Shengfeng Capital and Ya Investment Bank... You first follow the normal public relations routine and talk to them. , I will find a way to make EU beg me."

"To understanding."

The video communication ends here.

Luo Sheng's tone was not ordinary, but Lao Zhang and the others didn't doubt it. Since they dared to say so, they dared to respond in this way, it shows that they have sufficient confidence.

To deal with the issue of Ouzhou's ticket, Luo Sheng's tactics were simple: he beat him, I beat mine.

As soon as the video communication ended, Luo Sheng made a call to Qin Weimu, who was doing asset management configuration at the headquarters of Shengfeng Capital. To properly dispose of the 4.76 trillion US dollars in specific sections, at least 12,000 employees of Shengfeng Capital are required to reach one. It takes only a year and a half to get it done, which is pretty fast.

Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu are discussing specific general directions. Just a case of buying a British Steel Company requires careful audit and evaluation.

Fortunately, the positioning of Qin Weimu and Shengfeng Capital is asset management.

After receiving news from Luo Sheng, Qin Weimu also began to deal with his request.

...

On Tuesday, April 5, Luo Sheng began to respond.

On the same day, Hengxin International Investment Bank (HIIB) issued a research report after the close of European stocks and announced that it would downgrade the credit rating of the Union League to AA by one level, on the grounds that the decision to hold a referendum to leave the European Union in the next June weakened the European Union. The budget flexibility of the Union reflects the organization’s loss of unity and increases the uncertainty in the Eurozone.

Shengfeng Capital also issued an announcement shortly after, stating that the Eurasian market will not be used as a choice for the company’s asset allocation for the time being. The reason is that the Brexit vote on the British Isles has brought uncertainty to the region and the euro may face severe tests. And not optimistic.

Although the credit rating influence of Hengxin International Investment Bank is not as good as that of the three major North American rating agencies, large investment banks have their own evaluation methods, and HIIB investment bank ratings are undoubtedly an important reference for many investors.

And just shortly after entering April, I don’t know where it came from, the euro may be under international short-snipe, and there are rumors that Soros’s hedge funds and Paulson’s are operating frequently.

A rumor that broke out caused the euro to fall sharply. Since the sovereign debt crisis of the European countries headed by Xila, the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar has fallen from a high of 1.514 to a low of nearly 1.347.

Regarding the fragility of the euro, many people think that the "big shorts" such as Luo Sheng, Soros and Paulson are indispensable for their contribution. However, there are inherent reasons for the euro's sharp fall, and the big shorts have only accelerated the process.

Just as North America used the debt beating crisis to attack the euro after the first round of quantitative easing, after the second round of quantitative easing, North America used the aftermath of the debt beating to attack the euro. This is hardly a coincidence.

In fact, there is a deeper contest behind this, that is, the currency war between the U.S. dollar and the euro for dominance. The attack of the U.S. dollar against the euro is not only aimed at the depreciation of the euro, but also against the dollar in the international monetary system. The challenge of hegemony.

The world is very complicated.

What made Ouzhou nervous is that on April 7th, the media exposed that the head of the Paulson hedge fund had appeared at Sioux City Airport. After that, several major investment circles from Wall Street were exposed. The shadow of the crocodile.

They showed up in Su City, and there was almost a 90% probability that they had something to do with Luo Sheng. Apart from Luo Sheng's energy, these bigwigs didn't seem to be able to find a second person.

Although there were a lot of unpleasantness before, it will not hinder the conclusion of the new deal. Luo Sheng invited these old friends and opponents from Wall Street to dinner in his own name. By the way, he was interested in a lucrative deal.

The big guys are not interested in traveling across the oceans to have dinner, but they are very interested in the deal he said.

To say that the EU is not nervous about seeing these news is a lie, if Luo Sheng got together with the Paulson gang on Wall Street, it would be no good.

Luo Sheng holds trillions of dollars in liquidity and his terror appeal. Everyone on the earth knows its power. The League seems to have finally realized that because of the ticket of less than 20 billion euros, it may be even bigger and more difficult. Something bad.
