Apple's spaceship headquarters. Kuhn could not remember how many times the headquarters had called for a meeting because of Hongxin's actions.
Every time, it was not good news for them. This time was no different, and it was even more serious than before.
"Think about it. In the days to come, on the other side of the ocean, in that country with a population of more than a billion people, all of our virtual reality systems have been upgraded to virtual reality. All smart products have been upgraded from physical screens to virtual operation screens, but we are still using traditional old-fashioned screens. "
"Without a doubt, we will be abandoned by users all over the world!" Kuhn said.
"Maybe this is just a publicity stunt?" Someone said.
"It has already come to this, and you still expect nothing from our opponent?" Kuhn was angry. He slammed his hands on the table and scolded the executive who just spoke. "When we first saw Hongxin's smart chip, I heard this saying."
"Later, when we introduced Hongxin's operating system, smart voice, HX, Glass, and 6G network, there were people who did not believe it. But in the end, our market in China, Japan, and other countries were slowly encroached upon. Our company's shares fell, and our annual revenue dropped by more than 25%!"
"Who still believes in this kind of nonsense?"
After he finished yelling, the other executives kept quiet. It was stupid to expect the other party to create hype at this time.
"We can't just sit here and wait!" One of the executives said solemnly, "We should be looking for cooperation to introduce operable virtual projection equipment. We should add this newest component to our smart products!"
"You want to let Hongxin enter the North American market? Do you want the North American market to be dominated by Hongxin's products like the Chinese market? "A Caucasian man shouted. He was one of the people in charge of Apple's North American market.
"Robert, this is the inevitable choice. Even without us, other companies will use this component. We will lose our competitive edge in the global market! "
After debating for a while, they finally came to a conclusion that they could do nothing about. They must cooperate with Hongxin. This is just like how Chinese companies must use Apple's products to compete in the market. Now, the roles have been reversed.
"What if Hongxin is not willing to sell this component to the US market?" Someone asked.
"That's why we must change our attitude." Kuhn sighed. "We will have to add Apple's name to the petition to lift the sanctions on China's technology industry."
…
The Federal Communications Commission of the United States was holding a vote. This proposal is to apply to the Ministry of Commerce for sanctions against some Chinese technology companies. For example, the ban on telecommunications companies such as Hua Wei and Zhongxing will be imposed on them. At the same time, the Chinese companies' electronic products tax will be lowered.
If it was half a year ago, such a proposal would never have appeared on the conference table of the Federal Communications Commission. It would not even have existed in the trash can — because no one would even mention it!
However, since a technology company called Hongxin appeared in Huaxia, everything changed. First, the Federal Communications Commission took the initiative to ban the sale of Hongxin, but they did not get the result they wanted.
After Hongxin implemented the Skynet plan, there were more and more dissenting voices in the Federal Communications Commission. Some representatives started to think that they should trade fairly with Chinese enterprises and introduce Chinese technologies and products.
Today, similar voices were getting louder and louder, to the point where the FCC had no choice but to hold a vote and submit an application to the US Department of Commerce based on the results.
The chairman of the committee, Reese, sat at the head of the table and announced, "We will now begin voting on this proposal."
There is a voting document in front of every committee member, and they need to hold a public vote.
Soon, a committee member wrote down his vote. Reese does not need to look at the voting document to know that the majority of the committee members voted for the proposal. That means they support the Chinese technology companies to enter the US market.
This committee member is backed by the US telecommunications company Veriazon. Because of the 6G network issue, those telecommunications companies had protested a lot. They had wanted to access China's 6G network for a long time.
All the committee members wrote down their votes, and Reese looks at two of the committee members. One of them is backed by Qualcomm, and the other is backed by Apple. In the past, both of them were against Chinese products, especially Hongxin, entering the US market.
But now, both of them had written down their vote for the proposal! These two companies had changed their stance at the same time. Their stance had changed from opposing to accepting the proposal! This made Li Si's jaw drop. It seemed like the situation in the telecommunications industry had really changed!
Reese had also written down his vote for the proposal. He knew that if the US FCC still stubbornly supports the US Department of Commerce, China will overtake the entire US telecommunications industry in less than two years!
The public voting ended, and the voting results were placed in front of Reese.
The committee members were also waiting for the voting results. Last year, they voted to block the Hongxin chip's information security. This was also the vote to remove the blocking of Hongxin's market.
"The voting results are that three people abstained, and the rest agreed. The proposal passed!" Reese announced. "Now, we will formally submit an application to the US Congress in the name of the US FCC to amend 15 regulations, including the stringent inspection of China's telecommunications companies and electronic products tax."
… …
Washington Post's latest news: "China announced that it has developed a new generation of virtual projection technology. It will introduce a new generation of 'non-physical screen' smart products."
"More than 100 Chinese companies have jointly submitted an application to the US Congress to reconsider our trade measures with China."
AOL: "Google CEO: The trend of economic globalization is unstoppable. The US Department of Commerce should seriously consider trading with China!"
Former World's Richest Man, Bill Gates, also made a statement on the media. "The US should be a free and open country. To maintain our leading technology and companies, we must accept other countries' advanced technologies."
… …
Many people started to speak out, and some celebrities even scolded the US Department of Commerce's decision as a pile of sh * t!
The reason is simple. Start with China's virtual projection technology. The US and even the rest of the world's technology stocks started a new round of decline. It was not easy for the investors to gain some confidence in the US technology companies, but now, the stock prices fell even more.
A large amount of funds were withdrawn from the US market and invested in China's technology companies. This is a heavy blow to the US economy!
