The rise of nanometers

Things are indeed not that simple.

IBM headquarters.

In the president's office.

"George, this is the report from the president of Greater China. You'd better read it." Levi's, who is responsible for managing overseas branches, said with a serious face.

George Max is also very concerned about the problems in China, because the emergence of glass discs is very likely to threaten many of their businesses.

This blue giant has a huge influence in the computer field. They previously sold their personal computer business to Liangxiang, but they still have a lot of high-value businesses left.

Including servers, supercomputers, professional software, hard drives, tapes, scanning tunneling microscopes, copper wiring, atomic etching, etc., all play a decisive role.

After reading the report, George Max's face became serious as well. He stood up and walked back and forth in the office.

Suddenly he stopped: "What are Spectral Logic, Oracle and Quantum doing?"

"For the time being..." Levis hadn't finished speaking yet.

The phone on the desk rang. George Max glanced at the phone number: "It's Ellison." Then he picked up the phone.

"Hello, Bruno, what can you do?"

On the other side of the phone, a cold voice came: "George, have you received the news from the Huaguo branch?"

"Yes, what are you going to do?" George Max asked rhetorically.

"Although the tape business is not Oracle's main business, Dragon Totem must not be allowed to control this market." Bruno Ellison sounded very serious.

"Have you spoken to Spectral Logic and Quantum?"

"That's natural. They agreed to join forces. This company is too dangerous and they must be contained."

George Max thought for a while: "They ABCD also have conflicts, how about we join forces and spend a sum of money to lobby?"

"no problem."

"However, we still make another preparation and send a joint negotiation team to talk to the other party. As long as they license the technology to us, we can give them the opportunity to enter the international market."

"Yeah, I agree."

…

Huang Xiuyuan was in the office, looking at the relevant situations at home and abroad.

Li Ce, who is responsible for managing Huang's International's finances, reported to him the current situation of Huang's International.

"Mr. Huang, our bank accounts and securities accounts in Xiangjiang have been subject to anti-money laundering investigations, but we are prepared. All funds are reserved in Bank of China in Xiangjiang. Only part of the funds in HSBC and Standard Chartered have been temporarily frozen."

"Anti-money laundering investigation?" Huang Xiuyuan asked without raising his head: "How much money are there in Xiangjiang?"

Li Ce flipped through the documents: "Since we remit money back to the mainland regularly every month, there are a total of 3.76 billion Hong Kong dollars in various accounts in Xiangjiang, including 1.95 billion in Bank of China and 1.62 billion in offshore accounts, which are frozen There are about 190 million on the account.”

"What's the reason for HSBC and Standard Chartered?" Huang Xiuyuan asked while reviewing and approving the documents.

"The suspected insider trading, money laundering, and tax evasion are mainly due to our short selling of the stocks of several international dairy companies some time ago, as well as part of the funds in the rice stock market. The problem of tax avoidance was amplified by the other party." Li Ce The tone was quite helpless.

The United States’ long-arm jurisdiction over the world’s finance is mainly due to the fact that the other party controls three financial systems. These three financial systems are:

The Federal Reserve's Large Value Transfer System (FEDWIRE), the Interbank Payment and Settlement System (CHIPS), and the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, also known as the International Settlement System (SWLFT).

Originally, the International Settlement System was a neutral international institution set up in Belgium. After 9/11, it was controlled by the Americans. With these three international financial systems in their hands, they could closely monitor the entire world.

Huang Xiuyuan stopped writing and ordered: "Hibernate for the time being, leave tens of millions as operating funds, and all other funds will go north. Put HSBC and Standard Chartered on the blacklist, and prohibit HSBC and Standard Chartered from participating in all future cooperation of the Suiren Department." "

"Understood." Li Ce nodded.

Xiao Yingnan on the side also replied: "I will convey it to the Ministry of Industry."

Inside the office.

Huang Xiuyuan was left alone, and he rubbed his temples.

After a while, Lin Baijie knocked on the door and came in.

"Xiuyuan, IBM, Oracle, Spectrum Logic, and Quantum have sent a cooperation invitation and hope to talk to us about the licensing issue of optical disc technology."

Huang Xiuyuan sneered and said: "It seems that the matter with Huang's International is just a show of force from the other party. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"

"Then reject them directly?"

Huang Xiuyuan thought for a while: "I refuse. Anyway, I can't pee in a pot, so why waste time."

"Okay, I support your decision." Lin Baijie knew that the other party would not give up, and his expression was serious and worried.

"Calm down, things like this will happen in the future."

Lin Baijie was silent for a moment and then said: "Xiuyuan, I am going to launch a counterattack and sue those international industrial software manufacturers."

Huang Xiuyuan made a series of arrangements for the company's legal affairs and patent work at the beginning of the company's establishment. Some of these arrangements were to strengthen himself and to counter opponents.

In terms of technology research and development, we not only avoid foreign patent barriers, but also deliberately find patent loopholes in related companies, and then apply for some related patents.

Now these long-prepared patent traps can finally play their corresponding role.

Huang Xiuyuan said with cold eyes: "There's no need to be polite. Just sue these companies directly. Even if you can't kill these guys, you still have to disgust them."

"No problem." Lin Baijie remembered something: "By the way, I have already passed on the instructions transferred by Assistant Xiao. I will not cooperate with HSBC and Standard Chartered in the future."

"Well, since they want to be dogs, don't blame us for not being polite."

"Xiuyuan, another good news is that the three major operators have placed an order of 450 million yuan for storage equipment with Long Toteng. In addition, Norinco has also placed an order for 150 million yuan of storage equipment." Lin Baijie said while handing over the relevant summary report. come over.

Huang Xiuyuan looked at it, and there was no surprise at all. After all, the performance of glass discs was there, especially in special fields, the stability of the equipment was the most important.

Because more sophisticated things not only mean higher costs, but also mean poor resistance and high maintenance costs.

Just like military chips, let alone a few nanometers, even military chips with a dozen or twenty nanometers are very rare.

Because the smaller the transistor process precision, the worse the ability to resist electromagnetic interference in electromagnetic countermeasures.

The resistance of glass optical discs to electromagnetic interference is stronger than that of ordinary hard disks and tapes, because the glass optical disc itself is an insulator, and the reader and supporting computer can adopt anti-electromagnetic interference designs.

The two discussed for a while, and Lu Xuedong and Zhang Jingjian also came to his office to discuss the progress of chip design and nanowire braiding machines.

The disturbances from the outside world did not interfere with the internal work of Suiren Company, especially the work of the scientific research department.

Huang Xiuyuan and Lu Xuedong both understand one thing, that is, to make iron, you need to be tough. If you don't have special skills, protesting and crying outside are just a sign of the weak, and the strong don't bother to compete.

The joint negotiation teams of IBM, Oracle and other companies received instructions from the head office to cancel their travel arrangements before setting off.

At the same time, Time Information submitted a patent lawsuit to the Peking Court, suing six international industrial software companies for infringing 48 patents of Time Industrial Software.
