"Ambassador Joseph, I have a piece of information here. Do you have time to take a look?" The commercial counselor of the US Embassy in China, whose Chinese name is Cai Ruide, opened the door of Ambassador Joseph's office and walked in with a deep frown. @ "William, what's the problem?" Joseph raised his head and looked at Cai Ruide doubtfully. ??Cai Ruide is just his Chinese name, taken from his surname Zat. Inside the embassy, ??Americans prefer to call each other by their English names. Cai Ruide's English name is William. As the Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Embassy in China, in addition to providing support for U.S. companies on business matters in China, he also has the task of collecting business intelligence. As the scale and technology of Fanhan Group continue to improve, monitoring it is a task that Cai Ruide cares about most. "Joseph, you'd better take a look. If you just talk, you probably won't understand the significance of this information." Cai Ruide placed a stack of bound documents on Joseph's desk and sat patiently across from his desk. down. Joseph picked up the document curiously, opened it and took a look, then frowned. Time gradually passed, and his brows not only did not loosen, but became more and more wrinkled. After spending more than half an hour reading this document, Joseph raised his head and said in disbelief. "William, what is said in this document is true? How dare a Chinese company do this? This is a provocation to the United States and a declaration of war!" "I know, obviously the other party has been planning this for a long time." Cai Ruide said carefully: "It can be seen from the hype about the ban of Fanhan Group some time ago. This is what the Chinese call hijacking public opinion. They grasp the righteousness through public opinion and then launch this plan. If anyone dares to resist them. Then he will be labeled as a traitor and ostracized by other Chinese people." Joseph banged the table. He pondered: "William, is this plan popular with the Chinese? I saw in the information that Fanhan Group has mastered a lot of advanced electronic technology. Is this true?" Cai Ruide shook his head and said with some embarrassment. : "I have no way to verify this situation now. You know, I am not CIA. If the information is obtained from public channels, it is still impossible to know what technologies the Fanhan Group has prepared to spread. But no matter what, this is very important to the United States. It is a threat for companies to open the Chinese market. "I understand." Joseph nodded and said simply: "Notify the country of the situation and let the relevant departments know the specific progress of the matter. At the same time, please follow the old rules. Protesting to China and asking them to stop Chinese companies from targeting American companies is a provocation to the United States! "According to Joseph's experience, normally if the United States issues a harsh diplomatic protest, the Chinese will always give in. The U.S. State Department is their foreign ministry, and the embassy communicates the situation back. Those targeted financial groups will push and rush to ask the Secretary of State to issue a note to China as if their buttocks are on fire. It¡¯s just that this thing seems a bit unusual now. The Chinese people reacted greatly to the news that Fanhan Group was banned by the US Congress. Although the embassy contacted the North American Department and asked the other party to handle it, the situation has not abated. On the contrary, it is getting more serious. By now, everyone knows that the problem here may not be simple. But after all, it is just a notice made by the embassy, ??which is different from a note with diplomatic significance. No matter how careless you are when you want to come to China. You don¡¯t dare to ignore the request made by the US Secretary of State, right? The embassy report soon announced that the diplomatic correspondence had been returned to the United States, but not before. The major financial groups in the United States have already obtained the information. Since the end of the Cold War, CIA has long been a Xiaoerhei, and the New Year has become worse every year. The running dog cooks, the good bow hides. The business intelligence of these large enterprises can be regarded as a supplement. Unlike the U.S. Embassy in China, the specific content of Zhou Shuo¡¯s speech at the Fanhan Research Institute, the technology diffusion form provided, the list of invited companies, and the analysis of those interested in joining the industry alliance These things have long been placed on various websites. On the conference table of the family consortium, it was studied in detail by the Americans as if they were facing a powerful enemy. "Mr. Colin, Mr. Kevin from Motorola, Mr. Nehru from TI, and Mr. Schultz from Intel are waiting for you." Colin Powell closed the intelligence sent by the embassy in China and CIA this morning, The intentions of these three people appearing here today were immediately clear in their hearts. But to be honest, he was a little scratching his head about this. It is said that the U.S. government is just a wage earner of big companies, but Secretary of State Clinton is not someone who can be seen by anyone who wants to see him. These three people are not important executives of their respective companies, but they are well connected in the political circles.?? is a professional lobbyist raised by three companies. Facing this kind of person, even Klin doesn't want to cause trouble. But to ask the US Secretary of State to issue a note to communicate with China about a company's business practices is a bit like swatting mosquitoes with a cannon. He thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Put them in conference room 3 and wait for me for another five minutes." When Klin walked into conference room 5, three white men in suits and ties appeared. People were standing together talking quietly. When they saw him pushing the door open, they quickly ended their conversation and said hello with a smile. "Please sit down, our time is limited." Klin waved his hand and let the three of them sit on the sofa. This is said to be a conference room, but in fact it is more like a living room, with a circle of sofas placed randomly, very American pastoral style. "I have a meeting in fifteen minutes. Let's make a long story short. What do you want?" Clin took the initiative as soon as he sat down and said forcefully. The three people looked at each other, and finally Kevin from Motorola said first: "Mr. Klin, we have noticed that some very angry things are happening in China. Fanhan Group is the company that Congress issued a ban on before. Chinese companies seem to be intending to retaliate against our American companies. He has contacted many Chinese semiconductor and consumer electronics companies and is preparing to launch an industrial alliance through technology diffusion" Kevin quickly gave a general introduction to the situation. Once again, Clin compared the information he received in his mind and found that there was no difference between the two. Either their intelligence power was comparable to that of the CIA, or the CIA made some extra money by the way Klin put his troubled emotions behind, waited patiently for Kevin to finish, nodded and said: "I will verify this situation, then If it is true that Fanhan Group has adopted such confrontational behavior, what do you want me to do? " "We hope that the State Council can come forward and ask the Chinese government to stop this kind of behavior against American companies. Unfriendly behavior should not be beneficial to the development of the relationship between the two countries. "Klin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "I have a question. I would like to ask the three of you to explain the normal business competition and alliances. Things exist to varying degrees in all markets, but why do you care so much about Fanhan Group¡¯s behavior? With all due respect, we Americans have never been afraid of competition.¡± ¡°Keke¡ª¡± Kevin pretended. He coughed and said a little shyly: "Mr. Klin, I think you should know that half of the reason for the ban issued by the House of Representatives on Fanhan Group is actually Cisco's fear of competing with the Chinese in the communications equipment market ¡¡± Nehru and Schultz next to Kevin both rolled their eyes, where is the small half? When Fanhan Group released the source code of its equipment, it issued a ban on the grounds of national security issues. It was simply because someone had killed someone in the international market and turned against them. Of course, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother. Since the three of them are sitting here, it shows that they don't have much confidence in directly competing with Fanhan Group and the company behind them. Klin held his little toe and thought about it, and all these unfinished words became clear to his mind. But this surprised him even more. Although judging from the report, the Fanhan Group had indeed coerced a lot of people through public opinion building, which looked very impressive. But China has had similar situations in the past, and boycotts of Japanese and American goods have also occurred. What was the final result? It¡¯s not like it¡¯s ended in vain. The key is that there is no substitute for American products in China. As long as China¡¯s economy continues to develop, it will absolutely be inseparable from American products. Standing on the threshold of the 21st century, in what field are American products most competitive? Of course it is in the field of electronic information technology. Everyone around the world knows that semiconductors are the dominant industry of the United States. In this industry, Motorola, TI and Intel are the three cornerstones. I believe that they can convince the public that they represent the highest technological level of American semiconductors. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? IBM and Applied Materials at most. Klin didn't have time to play around with them, so he asked straight to the point: "So, the reason why your three companies also have a 'small half' is that they don't want to compete with Fanhan Group?" The three of them smiled bitterly and nodded, looking at It really looks like that. Klin was stunned for a moment, spread his hands, and asked curiously: "Gentlemen, are you exaggerating? It's just a Chinese company. Don't you even have the confidence to defeat the Chinese? April 1 has already passed. ? This joke is not funny at all. Sorry, national diplomacy is a very cautious matter. I think there is no reason to waste it.??In dealing with a Chinese company, unless the Chinese government officially expresses its support for such targeted behavior.
