Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Xiao Boshi already knew the answer when he saw Meng Qian's expression, "Things really won't go so smoothly."

"Has Tian Wenchang arrived yet?"

"It will be here soon."

Ten minutes later, Tian Wenchang came to Meng Qian's room, "Mr. Meng."

"How about it?"

"No bail."

"Not released on bail? Why not released on bail?" Meng Qian was somewhat annoyed.

Tian Wenchang said seriously, "It can be seen that their attitude is very strong this time. This is an opportunity they have finally grasped and are ready to make good use of."

"Let me ask you, logically speaking, even if Weeks is unwilling to tell the truth, as long as we can find the person who stole the technology, he will be a witness, right?"

Tian Wenchang made a helpless gesture, "I'm afraid we can't find that person now."

"Why?"

"Bail is also not allowed." Tian Wenchang looked at Meng Qian solemnly, "Boss Meng, they can think of anything we can think of, how could it be possible for us to find that person easily.

Alstom's high-level executives can hold on to it, and what ability does a small commercial spy have to escape control.

What worries me most now is that they will treat us the same way they treated Alstom. If Gilson pleads guilty, there will be a lot of room for excuses later. "

"If you plead guilty, how do you estimate your sentence?"

"The most ideal result is a fine, but it's still the same sentence. It's hard to catch an opportunity. I'm afraid it will definitely be more than that. I think they will at least use this reason to ask the world not to buy our lithography machines anymore. Using this incident to impact the word of mouth we have accumulated over the past ten years, we can now imagine what the public opinion here will be like.

So, we had to find a way to prevent Gilson from pleading guilty.

Although he was not released on bail, I saw Gilson, and his condition is still very good, but because of this, it is difficult for me to judge whether he can withstand the pressure later, and I still have to find a way to get him out. "

"Tell me about your plan."

"We will forcefully prosecute the case on the grounds of insufficient evidence and illegal detention. We will handle the legal matters. What we need now is external pressure, including pressure from public opinion.

On the other hand, ASML is the breakthrough after all. We will continue to put pressure on ASML and Wicks. As long as ASML can let go, we can talk to the US side.

The good news we have now is that we have obtained evidence that ASML is using infringing technology to continue to develop lithography machines and has conducted commercial docking with Intel, and we will sue this matter.

I think Wicks is just a businessman after all, and he is a Dutch businessman. He has never been in contact with the United States before. For most people, stealing, lying and cheating must have a psychological burden. If we can conquer Weeks' psychological defense, this is an opportunity.

At the same time, it is time to take out some of the people we have raised in the company.

The last point is that our branch has the right to operate independently. If we really have to face the worst result, we can only separate the relationship between the German branch and the headquarters. "

"No, if we do this, it will be a disguised admission of the criminal behavior of the German branch." Meng Qian hit the nail on the head, "And our actions will be seen by all the branches around the world. Why do they want to use the CEO of the branch?" Article, this is a key reason.”

Tian Wenchang quickly became firm after showing embarrassment, "We will do our best."

In the following period of time, the technology media in the United States was full of news about the theft of technology by Dafeng Group, and the person who stole at the beginning of the year was officially corrected this time.

At the same time, a movie was suddenly released in five countries: France, Italy, Neon Country, China, and Singapore.

The name of the movie is "The Bank's Revenge".

This film is adapted from the real events of the National Treasure Bank, turning the former "National Treasure Bank" documentary into a commercial movie.

By adding more elements of commercial films, the film moved such an incredible frame-up to the big screen with more tension.

But after all, it is difficult to temporarily change the release time of commercial movies. There are only five countries in a short period of time. Movies alone are not enough to cause too much disturbance.

So what appeared with the movie was a series of revelations about the long-arm jurisdiction. Recently, there have been a lot of related news on the Internet, which directly linked the long-arm jurisdiction to this incident.

The public opinion first broke out in France.

With the occurrence of the Dafeng Group incident, there is no way for everyone not to associate it with Alstom. The high-level executives were arrested, the incident was complicated and confusing, and the long-arm jurisdiction had too many similarities.

Another reason for the explosion of French public opinion is that an article about "Revealing the Alstom Incident" was wildly circulated in France.

Under the influence of Meng Qian, Alstom has not been officially acquired by General Electric, but everyone feels that Alstom may not be able to hold on at any time, because General Electric has no intention of letting go.

And no one can tell what is behind Alstom, even Alston himself can't tell. After all, on the one hand, he is an insider, and on the other hand, the arrested high-level executives cannot be contacted.

But in this world, one person has watched "The American Trap" many years later, and one person has listened to Pierucci's speech many years later, and now this person has moved all of these in front of the world.

Although no conclusive evidence can be produced, when this revelation was fermented in France, the anger of the French people was ignited again.

During the China-Europe Economic Conference, Meng Qian invited Alstom's Isidore and several French dignitaries to meet.

Meng Qian did not go to the CEO of Alstom Group, Berkron, because according to what later generations learned, Berkron had already been caught at this time, and he was about to give up resistance, and it would be useless to find him. .

"Alstom doesn't want to be acquired by General Electric, does it?" Meng Qian cut to the chase. Anyway, everyone knew the purpose of the meeting.

"What's Mr. Meng's plan going forward?" Isidore didn't respond positively, but asked Meng Qian to make a statement first.

"Our next step is to get the truth. This is what we can only do, and what we must do."

"Does Mr. Meng have any specific measures?" Isidore asked about specific measures related to the Dafeng Group incident. In fact, he also wanted to know if there would be some measures related to Alstom. It means nonsense.

"There is nothing we can do with US law, but we can go further and seek help from the EU."

There was a look of disappointment on the faces of Isidore and the others. Obviously, they felt that Meng Qian had said something nonsense, but Meng Qian quickly changed the subject, "I don't know if Alstom has heard about the cooperation between us and Siemens. ?”

"Of course." Isidore responded in seconds. The previous cooperation between Dafeng Group and Siemens had a great response in Europe, especially the cooperation between the latter two companies gradually deepened. Siemens has truly become a very important symbolic cooperation for Meng Qian in Europe. As a case, Alstom, as a competitor, must be very concerned about the cooperation between Gale Group and Siemens.

"Then you should be very clear that Siemens' performance in traditional business has increased in the past two years, right?"

"Probably clear."

"It can be said that the cloud-connected technology has carried out a very successful experiment on Siemens, and it has also successfully helped Siemens to carry out a rapid transformation and upgrading. Because of our technological leadership in this field, no one can replace everything we have brought to Siemens. .

And these technologies, I believe Alstom can also use them. "

Isidore's disappointed expression changed a little, "Mr. Meng means"

"Alstom has encountered many problems, but with Alstom's foundation, as long as it can solve the acquisition dilemma of General Electric, it can make a comeback. If your company does not dislike it, we are willing to exchange technology for some shares to help Alstom A comprehensive technical upgrade and financial support for Alstom."

An important reason for Alstom to give up resistance is that the company has indeed experienced many problems and is about to cool down. Even if it insists on resisting General Electric to keep the company, the company may close down after paying the fine imposed by the US court, so It's better not to resist.

Meng Qian is very aware of this, so he put forward the condition that they will definitely be tempted. Dafeng Group, as the world's leading cloud and intelligence enterprise, will use a comprehensive technological upgrade in exchange for Alstom's shares, and it will also come with a sum of financial support. The probability of Alstom's survival has been greatly improved.

For Alstom, having one more shareholder, and such a powerful shareholder, is definitely a better choice than selling himself completely.

From the perspective of the French government, if Alstom still has a chance, they definitely don't want Alstom to be sold to the United States. They didn't insist on it at the beginning because Alstom's internal situation was already like that, and they couldn't stop it. .

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Meng Qian brought the topic back, "Now, can we talk about seeking further help from the EU?"

If Alstom has a chance to rise, then some things must be different, "What does Mr. Meng think we can do?"

"For Alstom, antitrust is still the biggest weapon, and for us, we are going to sue ASML to the EU."

Meng Qian put forward his own ideas, and began to chat with Isidore and others about some details.
