Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 173 Resolute Counterattack, Fighting to the End

Guangzhou, provincial government.

Executive Vice Governor Zhang Shiqing is presiding over the meeting.

"You've all seen what happened with Motorola. It was robbery, pure and simple hegemony."

This is our company; it must be protected.

The Director of the Commerce Department is a close associate of Standing Committee Member Li. His superior is also the most likely successor to Zhang Shiqing.

A transfer order shattered his dream, and the two often quarreled, since the other had cut off his path to promotion.

An outsider took his position, and ultimately, he suffered because he had no connections.

As the director of the Commerce Department, he certainly knew who was behind Chuanyin.

So, in a very high-sounding manner, they said, "This should be a test from the United States to see how the other side reacts."

But Executive, this is a difficult situation. They're using national security as a reason, and we can't directly refute it.

If the conflict escalates, we simply...can't handle it!

I said we should keep a low profile. If we're just an empty shell, we can just let ourselves be kicked out.

Although the Commerce Department's words were somewhat obsequious, many people still nodded subconsciously.

That makes sense!

"National security is bullshit. This is pure malicious slander. If we don't fight back strongly the first time, they will just treat us like an easy target."

Zhang Shiqing even slammed his hand on the table.

Seeing how protective he was of his own, the others finally started to take it seriously.

Various solutions were also put forward.

"Why not refute it using international rules? Does their investigation have any substantial evidence? Did they follow legal procedures?"

"Let's try to get a chance to defend ourselves."

Zhang Shiqing finally nodded: "The legal team will be formed immediately, led by the Department of Commerce, with funding from the province."

Now is a good opportunity to expand trade. We must let them know that Chinese companies are not easy to bully.

We don't cause trouble, but we also won't let others bully us.

…………

Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters.

Shen Fei was also in a meeting, and Huang Tianya gave a brief report on the latest situation.

"President Shen, we just received news from Hongshan that the Americans are serious."

The Department of Commerce has launched an investigation, but under joint surveillance by the FBI and CIA, they are unable to intervene.

The results are expected within three months.

Shen Fei nodded: "I understand. That means we can sell for another three months."

"Immediately increase investment in GG and strive to achieve sales of over 1000 million units for this product in the United States."

Huang Tianya was somewhat surprised to see him so calm, and even able to arrange the follow-up work.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, the profit margin in the American market is much higher than in China."

Shen Fei laughed: "What's the rush? I expected this."

Do you remember why I wanted to sell Motorola in the first place?

It's because of the European market that we can enter at any time, even if we don't have this brand.

In the American market, even if it's just a Motorola shell, they will still see it as a thorn in their side.

After all, we are pursuing independent research and development, which the United States will not allow.

"No matter what kind of shell they use, they will never let us make money peacefully."

He stood up and looked in the direction of America, which had never been a commercial mecca, but rather a market where capital frenzy reigned supreme.

He wanted to make money properly within the rules, but some people didn't want him to do that.

Then we can only "plant" these people in the ground.

"In future generations..." Shen Fei almost let slip, "they'll be even more ruthless. They'll confiscate assets, freeze accounts, and arrest people. They'll use any means necessary."

Is the reason national security or something else?

Someone in the conference room whispered, "So shameless."

Zhang Mingzhu, her face also filled with anger, said, "Is this the world's number one country? Why does it feel like a thug?"

Shen Fei smiled and said, "That word really describes it. International conferences are essentially meetings of thugs in suits."

And this is only the beginning; they have much more to be shameless about.

He looked at everyone present and said, "So we need to prepare in advance, diversify our approach, and establish multiple market presences. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."

He then looked at Huang Tianya and said, "Your action team should not send anyone to America recently, especially you."

All operations are conducted online. Also, transfer the money out of the Motorola account as soon as possible.

Huang Tianya nodded. At this critical juncture, there was no need to go to America.

Moreover, it's not just Motorola; assets on the stock market also need to be transferred.

Just replace it with minerals!

"The legal department is preparing to respond to the lawsuit. We can't just admit to this loss; I, Shen Fei, have never suffered such a huge loss before."

"As long as they take action, no matter how much it costs, we must get our revenge."

…………

After the internal meeting, Shen Fei drove to the provincial government.

With the rewards he received from the system last time, he felt very confident.

On the way there, he thought about it carefully. The items were all good, but putting them together was too overwhelming. It wouldn't be a good thing to take them all out at once.

Before going upstairs, he put some complete technical routes from the file bag back into the system space, leaving only some basic shell materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum alloy.

Essentially, these materials are intended for use in the mobile phone and automotive industries.

But luck was on its side, and the heavens seemed to be on its side, and it accidentally developed an outer shell suitable for aerospace.

After testing, it was found that the technology was too advanced, so they had no choice but to ask Zhang Shiqing for advice on how to solve the technical problem.

……

Zhang Shiqing looked at him with a skeptical gaze, while Shen Fei just kept whistling, looking like he didn't care whether he believed it or not.

However, the material immediately caught Zhang Shiqing's attention, and he quickly asked a friend to send the report over.

"Please take a look at the documents for me; the situation is urgent."

"Never mind where I got it, can I use it or not?"

"That's amazing?"

"Okay...okay, I understand. Have the relevant department send the materials over immediately."

Zhang Shiqing looked at Shen Fei with a puzzled expression once again, but he didn't ask any further questions.

After all, the materials are amazing. According to a friend from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, these materials can be perfectly applied to engine casings, engine blades, and even the entire engine.

…………

On August 10th, after careful consideration, the Guangnan Provincial Government officially issued an announcement:

"Motorola is a legally registered American company, and Huaxin Investment acquired it in accordance with the law."

Their operations in the United States are legal. Guangnan Province firmly supports the right of enterprises to legally go overseas and opposes any unwarranted suppression under the pretext of national security.

We will take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights of enterprises.

The announcement was met with widespread approval in China.

"This is how we should be."

"Awesome! This time they didn't just condemn, they went straight for the fight."

"The US can't bully us."

…………

America.

Obama hesitated as he looked at the announcement.

How dare they do that?

Someone nearby asked, "Mr. President, shall we continue?"

Obama thought for a moment: "Pause."

"pause?"

"Yes. Let's observe first. See how they react in China, and how Transsion will respond. It's just tens of millions of phones; they're only taking away a portion of Apple's market share."

We cannot allow one company to jeopardize our economic recovery.

"This matter is not urgent."

…………

The investigation into Motorola did not last long.

September 1st, which should have been a busy start to the school year, became the starting point of the most brutal war in the history of the Chinese Internet.

The war between Tencent and 360 officially began today.

360 has launched a privacy protector, claiming it can detect whether QQ is scanning user privacy.

One blogger directly stated that QQ has been silently scanning users' hard drives in the background for a long time, stealing private files and monitoring chat logs.

360 recognized this, which is why they updated this feature.

Less than a day after the feature was updated, it immediately became a trending topic.

"Does QQ steal user privacy?"

"So, all the photos and documents I saved have been viewed?"

"This is the problem of a monopoly; penguins are disgusting."

360's official Weibo account and Zhou Hongyi's personal Weibo account posted seven long articles in a row, each word barbed and piercing.

"A certain chat software is not just a chat tool; it's a monitor installed on your computer."

"A certain security manager used the guise of security to spy on people."

"User privacy is not Tencent's traffic feed."

Tencent retaliated immediately that day, issuing three announcements on its official Weibo account, expressing strong anger and using harsh language.

"360 has maliciously defamed, spread rumors, framed, smeared Tencent, and disrupted market order. Our company will immediately file a lawsuit and pursue all legal responsibilities against 360."

"All of QQ's actions are legal and compliant, while 360 ​​is resorting to any means to seize the security market."
