c1012 Sandpipers and clams fighting

The fire in July is fleeting.

Faced with the turbulent public opinion on the Internet, the top management showed great determination. Apart from talking, condemning, and filing a complaint with the WTO, throughout the first half of the year, at the policy level, the country did not issue a clear and accurate policy. Response plan.

In August, as the cost of semiconductor raw materials rose, which in turn led to a general rise in the entire semiconductor and new energy industries including new energy, LCD panels, memory chips, processors, etc., the semiconductor and technology sectors of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets surged at the same time. .

Until then, domestic response measures were finally belated and began to impose reciprocal punitive tariffs on agricultural products such as soybeans, wheat, and corn, as well as semiconductor chips such as central processors, memory chips, FPGAs, and power devices.

At the same time, the state announced that it would cancel tax rebate subsidies for many 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 fully 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 parties reached a preliminary agreement to further deepen cooperation.

Subsequently, Yuanxin announced the spin-off of YOS laboratory and operating system department. Three days after the spin-off announcement, independent YOS announced its revenue for the previous quarter – as a free licensed semi-open source operating system, YOS APP Store There are already more than 2.5 million apps on the shelves, and the share paid to developers last quarter alone was as high as 30 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 75% of the total app store revenue.

In other words, YOS’s single-quarter revenue has exceeded US$40 billion – which is infinitely close to Microsoft’s single-quarter revenue.

As soon as the revenue report came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

Of course, it is only ordinary people who are in an uproar. As for capital and financial institutions, they can easily get closer to the truth about the YOS App Store’s revenue from other listed companies’ revenue reports.

It’s just a guess. After all, it is not as direct, simple and crude as YOS’s financial report.

Therefore, when Microsoft announced that it would consider controlling YOS with Yuanxin through a share exchange, all analysts remained silent.

Because the logic behind such a large-scale cross-holding goes beyond ordinary business significance. The only thing everyone needs to consider is whether their respective business departments will allow such behavior.

But no matter what, the news itself is of great significance – at a time when the two sides are at war with each other and are sacrificing tariffs, the emergence of such a large-scale cooperation shows that the company itself is facing a game at the national level. Essential attitude.

That is, cooperation is the only option.

…

Time flies, 2017 passes quickly.

After Ye Rudai went home to celebrate the Spring Festival, she hurried back to Silicon Valley.

Because on March 1st, a certain old man who knows a little bit about everything is going to deliver the State of the Union address – neither Silicon Valley nor Wall Street will allow this guy to continue tossing around.

“Sister Qin Si.”

As soon as she arrived at the villa, Ye Rudai saw Qin Si, whom she had not seen for some time, waiting for her at the gate with a smile. She quickly stepped forward to hold Qin Si’s arm and said “Happy New Year” with a smile.

“Happy New Year, let’s go inside and say it.”

Since focusing her energy on New York, Qin Si has spent very little time here. She only came here because she would stay for two days while working, which was considered a vacation.

But her room has always been kept and cleaned at any time. It is the kind of room that can be settled directly.

After entering the house, the two went straight to the second floor.

“It’s only been half a year, does this house seem to have been renovated?” As he went upstairs, Qin Si looked around. Although the surrounding furnishings remained unchanged, it was obvious that the wallpaper and floor had been replaced with the same color.

“Well, it was renovated as it was.”

“Has the formaldehyde been removed?”

“Don’t worry, they are all environmentally friendly materials. Besides, even if there is formaldehyde, it has been absorbed by Sister Yiwen and me.”

“Haha, you better pay attention, formaldehyde is no joke.”

…

While joking, the two came to the second floor. Ye Rudai made Qin Si a cup of coffee as usual, and then pulled down the curtains around her – because Su Yuanshan told her that the current eavesdropping technology was so advanced that it could be collected with just a beam of laser. Voiceprint, so try to pay attention to some.

In the glass room, even with the curtains drawn, the room 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. This time he will definitely not give in. You know his temper… This guy has a stubborn temper and no one can stop him. He even said that the big deal is Xinghai Fund. He doesn’t want the money anymore…”

Qin Si laughed: “Good guy, this is so loud.”

She has always been in charge of Xinghai Fund. 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.

And Su Yuanshan is a big customer of Xinghai Gene, and his net worth has long been beyond common sense. However, the money… is indeed not entirely in Su Yuanshan’s personal name, because his overseas capital is scattered in various small fund organizations, especially in public welfare funds.

A considerable number of these public welfare funds are jointly established with Gates and focus on humanitarian support in poverty-stricken areas such as Africa. As for the other part, he and Ye Rudai jointly established a number of natural science foundations dedicated to scientific research support around the world, especially in underdeveloped areas and developing countries.

Ye Rudai shrugged and said with a wry smile: “Money is nothing, the main thing is that if this continues, both sides will lose.”

“Well, it is indeed a fight between the snipe and the clam.” Qin Si also sighed.

As the Queen of Wall Street, she naturally sees things clearly.

——Last year, the GDP here was 18.6 trillion, and if converted into US dollars domestically, it was 16.7 trillion, which is exactly 90%. But if you remove the bonus of US dollar hegemony… In fact, the real economy of both sides The scale needs to change.

In the confrontation between the world’s two largest economies, Southeast Asian countries have gained opportunities to relocate their manufacturing industries, Nibang has expanded its markets and profits, South Asia and India have gained investment, and the Middle East has gained… products.

As for Europe…naturally it got a fine.

——The “merger and acquisition case” between Microsoft and YOS has just begun to be written. Europe has already launched an antitrust investigation, and the first fine against YOS has been issued.

3.8 billion US dollars!

Just asking if you are convinced.

“So, it’s time to stop him.” Qin Si looked at Ye Rudai.

“I plan to invite Old Tang to tea the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?”
