Global Monopoly of Technology

"Shocking news..."

"Sudden! Global stock market crash..."

"The three major domestic stock indexes fell by the limit of 1,000 shares, and the small scattered all over the field mourned..."

"Global stock markets lost $4.76 trillion in 24 hours yesterday..."

"Luo Sheng's irrational decision has caused heavy losses to the global technology industry. This is a man-made disaster..."

"The destructive power of a super-giant enterprise is unimaginable, and it must be dismantled and dismembered..."

...

Today, as long as the TV news channels of various countries are turned on, almost all major media in the world are reporting the same thing - Luo Sheng's market crash, and the global stock market crash.

The headlines of the major media and newspapers are all related news, and the pictures on the pages have published photos of Luo Sheng.

Western media in Europe and the United States basically criticized Luo Sheng fiercely, especially the mainstream media in North America.

This wave of Luo Sheng's actions was so ruthless that the whole world had never expected it. How could any entrepreneur be so ruthless?

After tearing his face, he will be completely thorough, and he would rather lose money to lose eight hundred and hurt the enemy one thousand.

People in the Internet industry and investors in North America are panicking. If Bluestar Technology zeroes all its investment in the United States in the past ten years, the North American Internet industry will inevitably face a major setback.

Now, most people in the industry are afraid of returning to the cold winter of 2001 when the IT bubble burst.

Consumers in North America are also stunned. Everyone has been looking forward to it for more than two months, waiting for the Azure-4 to go on sale.

As a result, when the date of listing and sale is approaching, I was told that there will be no more Azure mobile phones in the North American market in the future, and there will be no more hosts and no more ieP tablets?

Anyway, the current Reddit forum has exploded, and netizens around the world are performing the grand occasion of a group of demons dancing on the forum.

...

Apple headquarters.

"Mad, absolutely mad, what's in it for him? Madfaq!"

At this moment, at Apple's internal executive meeting, a managing director who attended the meeting scolded, Apple's stock price plummeted 14.8% directly by the impact of this black swan event, and the total market value fell to 75.7 billion US dollars.

The key is that yesterday's stock market crash is not over yet, and today it is still falling sharply, and the three major North American stock indexes are weak.

Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the oil financial group has no longer played a leading role, the market has turned to the world of technology giants, and technology-driven economic recovery has become pivotal in the five years after the financial crisis.

Today, one of the best leaders in the Internet and ICT fields in the global technology world explodes on their own, and almost all technology companies are not immune.

"The biggest problem now is the iPhone business. Once the Cote d'Azur announces that it will interrupt the authorization of the WOS system, the iPhone business will face a shock crisis." Another Apple executive said.

Today, the iPhone business is also one of Apple's core businesses, and 40% of the company's revenue comes from this business. Because of this, it's only reasonable that Apple's stock price dropped by nearly 15 points yesterday.

At this time, the head Cook said: "Côte d'Azur only announced the recall of employees in North America and withdrawn from investing in the business in the United States. It did not say that it would cut off patent licensing and international supply. There may be room for manoeuvre."

"Or send someone to ask about the situation?"

"It can only be this way."

...

Cote d'Azur headquarters.

On the third day after the global stock market crash, the international supply chain partners of Côte d'Azur took a flight to Sioux City, especially the semiconductor industry companies, such as Intel, IBM, ASML, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, TI and other world-renowned companies. Semiconductor giants have sent a global vice president over.

Many international supplier partners of Bluestar Technology Group also came, mainly from the Internet and cloud computing fields.

The gathering of global technology giants is naturally in response to the current changes.

Around 10:00 in the morning, in the conference hall of the newly opened Hilton Hotel in Sioux City, global technology giants gathered, and Luo Sheng also attended the meeting.

This is an informal international supply chain meeting. There are also reporters present at the venue, but the number is not large. Only a few dozen media have been qualified.

There are only five or six foreign media, and all the media that have criticized and reported unfairly are now not allowed to enter. They are also very angry, but very helpless.

"In the context of the deepening globalization of the world economy, the world is now worried about the rise of trade protectionism. I think protectionism should not be allowed to rise, and there should never be protectionism in cross-border trade."

At the roundtable meeting, most of them were foreign faces. Everyone was watching Luo Sheng who was speaking. At the same time, everyone had an instant translator in their ears. Although Luo Sheng could speak fluent English, as long as he was in China On the territory of the country, he only speaks his native language.

You can't take him too.

At this moment, the meeting has been negotiating for more than half an hour.

"Conflicts are easy to build, but it is difficult or even impossible to end them, but I believe in one thing, when cross-border trade stops, war is not far away from us. Cross-border trade allows people all over the world to communicate with each other and communicate with each other. Culture and values, if we can stop the rise of protectionism, we should do anything to stop it."

It is worth mentioning that this informal meeting was not only attended by people from major multinational technology companies, but also the heads of the WTO’s dispute settlement bodies, who also attended the meeting.

However, he was basically unable to speak, and was just here to make soy sauce. The tech giants present didn't give him much, and even regarded him as non-existent.

"Having said that, how do you guarantee that you don't screw up the industry? You're the one who has the power to make decisions, how do you guarantee that you don't control the industry system?"

The person who said this is the global vice president of STMicroelectronics.

This is a point of concern for everyone present. Cote d'Azur has a strong voice in a certain key link in the industry.

The semiconductor industry is also very special. It is the most incredible industry in the world. It also means that as long as a key link fails, everyone will stare together.

For example, the purification of wafers is from Shin-Etsu Chemical in Japan, the lithography equipment is from ASML in the Netherlands, and the foundry is from LSMC, Samsung, Intel and so on.

Unfortunately, the Côte d'Azur has also mastered one of the key links, and one is enough, so there is also the ability to be on an equal footing with the old giants such as Intel in the industry.

However, the layout of Luo Sheng in China, which they are really worried about, uses Shengfeng Capital as the output point, trying to create a whole semiconductor industry chain independent of the international system. If it is done, it will control the entire industry system. The impact is on the world, which is inevitable.

Although this is almost impossible, and no company in history has been able to do it, Luo Sheng is too good at creating miracles.

"First of all I'm not sure, the only thing that's certain is that the world is not certain, every day is uncertain, only yesterday is certain, and I don't know if I'm not going to be dictatorial, or not going to be stupid." Luo Sheng looked around at the group of foreigners and said in an orderly manner: "But all of this should be based on fair, just, and non-discriminatory reciprocal exchanges and cooperation, but I still think we should give the North American authorities some time to listen to everyone's voices."

Time passed by, and the meeting continued to negotiate, but after 10 minutes, more than a dozen media people who came to the scene were suddenly notified by the staff that they should leave.

"Why? The meeting is obviously not over. Why are we not allowed to report?" A reporter asked the staff who came to urge.

"The following is a closed-door meeting, you must leave!" The staff replied unsmilingly.

"What?"

"Please leave as soon as possible!"

The reporters present instantly realized that most of the big bosses are going to enter the dark PY trading session, and they were very angry when they couldn't know the information they wanted to know the most.

Although very unwilling, but seeing the security staff's burly stature and the appearance of owing him millions, the media reporters present did not want to be forcibly kicked out, so they left the venue honestly.

The main door of the conference hall slowly closed, and two security staff wearing sunglasses and suits stood motionless on the left and right sides of the door.

The media reporters who left the venue one after another couldn't imagine that at the moment when the door was closed, the style of painting inside the door suddenly changed, and the bigwigs began to breathe out fragrance, a picture of harmonious communication.

"What did you say? Next year's patent licensing fee will increase by 50%? Why don't you grab it? With such an ugly appearance, you have successfully surpassed Qualcomm, Mr. Luo." Apple's vice president said indignantly.

The global vice president sent by Qualcomm across a position turned to look at him: "Excuseme?"

The global vice president of IBM seemed to be serious and said: "Mr. Luo, you will only aggravate the contradiction. The world is talking about how to be reasonable and unruly. With all due respect, your Bluestar Technology Group's operations in North America will only increase. All assets may not be able to be removed. Do you think this way can impact the Internet industry in the United States and set back five or ten years? Impossible, the authorities will forcibly freeze your assets in the United States. After all, your things are on American soil. You said it doesn't count."

After speaking, IBM's global vice president calmly watched Luo Sheng, and the others also liked it. It has to be said that the speed of the people present changed their faces so fast that the 6G network speed couldn't catch up.

Everyone looked at Luo Sheng looking at a joke, the latter smiled lightly with a calm attitude: "Some people think that the influence of North America is unparalleled, and they want to make a difference on a global scale. whoever does it..."

The expressions of the giants from North America seemed to answer: You are right!

Luo Sheng still smiled: "Everyone, I'd rather put up tens of billions of dollars in lost money to do this, why don't you understand? If the authorities forcefully freeze my legal assets in the United States, it's just a pile of scrapped garbage. It also saved me a billion dollars in demolition costs, which is really expensive to hire North American workers.”

Everyone was stunned, IBM's global vice president looked at Luo Sheng and said subconsciously, "What do you mean?"

Luo Sheng shrugged: "Pull the brakes!"

Everyone was stunned again.

Luo Sheng said with a smile, "Do you know how to open the gate? Bluestar Technology has accumulated ten years of data in the United States, and the data centers and databases it has built have all vanished into thin air... The content accumulated by Internet users in the United States, their photos, and their connections The method, their online footprint, etc. all vanished, so don’t mind taking the Singapore and Norway backups at the same time.”

This remark made the foreigners in the audience instantly fry.
