Chapter 1040: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight
The fire in July flies in a flash.
Faced with the surging public opinion on the Internet, the top leaders showed great determination. In addition to fighting verbal battles, condemning them, and asking WTO to complain, in the first half of the year, at the policy level, no accurate response plan was clearly issued in China.
As August entered, with the rise in semiconductor raw materials costs, which led to the general rise in semiconductors, including new energy, LCD panels, memory chips, processors and other semiconductors, and new energy industries, the semiconductor and technology sectors in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets rose sharply.
Until this time, domestic response measures finally came late, and began to impose reciprocal punitive tariffs on agricultural products such as soybean, wheat, and semiconductor chips such as central processing units, memory chips, FPGAs, and power devices.
At the same time, the country announced that it would cancel tax refund subsidies for multiple consumer electronic products, including mobile phones.
In the same month, Yuanxin Shanghai Science and Technology Park officially announced that Yuanxin launched the world's largest FPGA chip Vlonggt3. The chip has 34 billion transistors and 7 million logic components. It also has excellent power consumption control, and is comprehensively ahead of Xilinx and Intel.
In September, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates came to the provincial capital and during a week-long consultation with Yuanxin, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement to further deepen cooperation.
Subsequently, Yuanxin announced the divestment of Yos Labs and operating system departments. Three days after the divest announcement was issued, the independent Yos announced its revenue for the previous quarter. As a free-to-authorized semi-open source operating system, yos app
In other words, yos' single-quarter revenue has exceeded US$40 billion - this has infinitely approached Microsoft's single-quarter revenue.
As soon as the revenue report was released, the world was in an uproar.
Of course, the only people who were in an uproar were ordinary people. For capital and financial institutions, they could easily approach the truth about the money-making of the Yos app store from the revenue and financial reports of other listed companies.
But guessing, it was still not as straightforward and simple as Yos' financial report.
Therefore, when Microsoft announced that it would consider controlling yos with Yuanxin in a share exchange, all analysts remained silent.
Because the logic behind such a scale of cross-holding has exceeded ordinary commercial significance. The only thing everyone needs to consider is whether their respective business departments will allow such behavior.
But no matter what, this news itself has great significance - now that the two sides are at a strife and sacrifice the tariff banners, the ability to have such a scale of cooperation shows the essential attitude of the company in the face of national game.
That is, cooperation is the only option.
...
Time flies, 2017 will pass soon.
After Ye Rudai returned home for the Spring Festival, she hurriedly returned to Silicon Valley.
Because on March 1st, a man who knows a little bit of everything will deliver a State of the Union address - whether it is Silicon Valley or Wall Street, this guy is not allowed to continue to make trouble.
"Sister Qin Si."
As soon as she arrived at the villa, Ye Rudai saw Qin Si who had not seen him for a while, waiting for her at the gate with a smile. She hurried forward and took Qin Si's arm, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, walk in and talk."
Since he has devoted his energy to New York, Qin Si has been here for very little time. He only stays for two days at work, just as he is on vacation.
But her room has always been kept and cleaned at any time. It is the kind that can be directly wrapped in.
After entering the house, the two walked straight to the second floor.
"It's only been half a year since I saw you, and this house feels like it's renovated?" Qin Si looked around while going upstairs. Although the furnishings around him still haven't changed much, it's obvious that the wallpaper and floor have been replaced in the same color.
"Well, it's renovated as it is."
"Has formaldehyde been removed?"
"Don't worry, they are all environmentally friendly materials. Besides, even if there is formaldehyde, it will be sucked away by Sister Yiwen and I."
"Haha, you'd better pay attention. Formaldehyde is not a joke."
...
While joking, the two came to the second floor. Ye Rudai made a cup of coffee for Qin Si as usual, and then pulled down the curtains around her - because Su Yuanshan told her that the current eavesdropping technology has been advanced enough to collect voice patterns with just one beam of laser, so try to pay attention.
Even if the curtains are pulled down, the interior of the glass house is still bright.
"Is the domestic attitude... the unity of knowledge and action?" Qin Si picked up the coffee and used a vague description.
Ye Rudai nodded: "Xiaoshan's attitude is very clear. I will definitely not let him go this time. You know his temper... This guy's stubborn temper has come up, and no one can stop him. He even said that at most, he doesn't want the money from Xinghai Fund..."
Qin Si laughed: "Good guy, this is a big tone."
Xinghai Fund has always been responsible for the management. Now it has multiple investment institutions, holding shares in thousands of companies, including more than 500 listed companies, with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars.
Su Yuanshan is a big customer of Xinghai Gene. His wealth is no longer reasonable, but the money... is indeed not entirely in Su Yuanshan's personal name, because his overseas capital is scattered among various small fund organizations, especially public welfare funds.
A considerable number of these public welfare funds were jointly established with Gates, focusing on humanitarian support in poor areas such as Africa. As for the other part, they jointly established multiple natural science foundations with Ye Rudai, which are specifically used for scientific research support in global areas, especially in underdeveloped areas and developing countries.
Ye Rudai shrugged and smiled bitterly: "Money is nothing, it's mainly because if this continues, both sides will suffer."
"Well, it's really a fight between the snipe and the clam." Qin Si also sighed.
As the Queen of Wall Street, she naturally saw it very clearly.
——Last year, the GDP here was 18.6 trillion, while the domestic conversion to US dollars was 16.7 trillion, which was exactly 90%. But if the bonus of US dollar hegemony was excluded... In fact, the real economic scale of both sides would have to turn around.
In the confrontation between the two largest economies in the world, Southeast Asian countries have gained the opportunity to re-transfer the manufacturing industry, Nibang has expanded the market and profits, South Asian india has gained investment, and the Middle East has gained... products.
As for Europe... naturally, I received a fine.
——The “merger and acquisition case” between Microsoft and Yos has just begun to grind ink, and Europe has launched an antitrust investigation, and the first fine for Yos has been issued.
Three or eight billion US dollars!
I'll ask if you agree or not.
"So, it's time to stop it." Qin Si looked at Ye Rudai.
Chapter completed!
