Chapter 1373
The matter of the Future Technology Group being sued by the Japan Automobile Industry Association in the International Court of Justice is also a hot topic of discussion in the country and on the internet.
It is a basic operation for a super giant to be involved in a monopoly lawsuit. Which super multinational giant in the world has not been tangled in a monopoly lawsuit? There are none! Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, etc., just to name a few.
It is not surprising that a high-tech company such as Future Technology Group, which has had an absolute monopoly on technology since its inception, has been the subject of a monopoly lawsuit.
However, when Future Technology is being sued in court, the major industry players are analysing the matter and publishing their own articles, and basically the mainstream voice is not optimistic that the Japan Automobile Industry Association, the "consumer", can win the case.
It's too complicated, and it's also clear that if it did win, the App-Store wouldn't have survived this long.
Interestingly, at the end of the day, major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay, including Apple, which had been in a bloody fight with Future Technology, all stood in solidarity with Future Technology, refuting the lawsuit by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.
This is very interesting. But it is also clear to the discerning eye that these giants are not really in good faith, but if Future Technology loses the case, i.e. this "distribution monopoly" argument is valid, it means that the other big platforms can't be left alone, so they will be waiting in line to be sanctioned.
Apple's App-Store will be the second one to get the axe, not to mention the other.
If FutureTech wins, Apple, Amazon and eBay will still be able to continue to act as "commission-based intermediaries" to get out of the annoying anti-trust lawsuit, and it will be even more difficult to sue the tech giants in this way in the future.
The general public felt that Future Technology was in big trouble this time, and that the International Court of Justice had accepted the lawsuit, so it felt like Little Ben was really going to have to fight Future Technology in an international lawsuit.
However, the defendant Li Linfei (Future Technology) is not even paying attention to this matter anymore, except that the media has made the topic very hot.
Li Linfei knows very well that Xiao Benzi is angry, after all, how to say it, well, must let people out of anger, smooth it out.
After a few days of being angry, however, after realizing that there is no substantial use, the mind has almost calmed down.
However, Li Linfei will not give Xiao Benzi too much time, even if he wants to, the Americans and Europeans do not have that patience, hundreds of multinational companies are in the process of making their next move.
A small book that has been reduced to a rbq, people really do not have that much patience, give it two or three days and still not calm down, then everyone will teach him how to be quiet.
Well, the longer you delay, the greater the cost, beyond the time limit, directly deprived of the opportunity to "enter the group", this matter Li Linfei to determine, gave the little book five days.
But not five days, that is, the Japan Automobile Industry Association to the identity of consumers to sue the future of the technology group after the third day ...... dropped the case!
The news came out, the major media and watching the hilarity of a large number of waiting for a good show eaters a little confused.
The media all over the world had given headlines to the case, and this was the result?
I bet this is a fake melon? The two of them alone are too much to handle, not to mention the world's tacit collusion to bully, so they have to accept the identity of RBQ and meekly sell their asses.
After all, if the next two or three decades the economy is still in place or even backwards, and the world's other big, powerful countries or emerging market countries continue to grow, then Japan's voice in the future can be a drop in the bucket.
To say that the most miserable and should be heartbroken is none other than the Shin-Etsu chemical industry, originally Shin-Etsu is high happy and joyful.
Ten or so days ago, he had just completed all the expected deliveries of pure crystal sources for semiconductors, making a fortune, and then the bidding meeting for the developer technology system proposal was held.
Shin-Etsu was expecting another big order to come in, and was looking forward to the big brother, Intel, raising its voice again.
Then came the news that the Japanese automobile industry was excluded from the system, the world did not take Japan to play with car-making, a large group of old drivers of Benko were kicked out of the group.
Shin-Etsu is very angry, from the spirit of support a wave of their own country's auto industry, but steady as an old dog, anyway, Shin-Etsu chemical business will not be affected, and then hold a melon mentality to see this thing.
As a result... the melon-eating Shin-Etsu never imagined that he would be reduced to a bargaining chip?
Shin-Etsu: ????
The entire Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Corporation is now furious. And why should Shin-Etsu be sacrificed?
However, Shin-Etsu's transfer of core technology was already inevitable, the Japanese wanted to abandon the car to protect the marshal, the authorities were helpless, the Japanese zaibatsu were helpless, both forces had reached a unanimous consensus, Shin-Etsu was sold as a bargaining chip also became an irreversible fact.
Four days later, Xiao Benzi offered up all his family's goodies to the "group" of senior group members, administrators and group masters, and after a wave of PY deals, the group's bigwigs felt that Xiao Benzi knew what he was doing, so some of them proposed to take him along for the ride.
The group's bigwigs have all been honored, so they all said in a loud voice that for the sake of the world's continued economic prosperity, they would agree to take Little Ben into the group.
So, this is how Xiao Ben joined the group.
The group's bigwigs: in the future in the group, we a few management apes to cover you, touched?
Xiao Ben: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move!
Chapter 1374
After this day, the big picture was set and everything was in place.
All the media had only just got the little book to join the system when the story was being prepared for the headlines the next day.
But even more explosive news came out the next day, like a thunderclap that blew everyone's brains out.
The global group of analysts felt their brains were about to explode, there had been so much hot news and events in the past two months that it was simply overwhelming and they could hardly make sense of it.
On this day, everyone was ready to see the joke of the little book, and we threw up a super joke ourselves.
At around 11am that day, this side responded heavily to the Hawks' recent potential push to launch a US$245 billion goods campaign against them.
The eagle United States violates the relevant ..., prompting some disputes between the two sides, harming all the interests of both sides of the business, but also damage security, if still bent on, will take the necessary countermeasures.
The outside world feels that this should be just a sound bite. And immediately in the afternoon, the Ministry of Commerce targeted some US$150 billion of goods and the list was then published.
When the outside world saw the news, especially when they saw that a number of industries, including Apple, were on the list, everyone's eyeballs dropped!
The more explosive news was the sudden accusation against a group of high-tech companies, including Apple, in a unified manner.
Apple was formally accused of tax avoidance and tax evasion, and Apple was included in the list of "tax evasion crackdowns".
Good guys, the tax increase to the outside world feel very strong, 150 billion U.S. dollars, ah, it is only in response, just an appetizer, the back is Shi more hot meal.
If it is before is the TNT level of power, then this list is simply a nuclear bomb level, as flat a thunder like, Cook these bigwigs the first time to learn the news from the Chinese side, one and all are fried like.
What made Cook and the other bigwigs even more unbelievable to the point of turning blue was that when they were then asked to provide the amount of back taxes, they all fainted on the spot when they saw the amount of back taxes.
No one was sanctioned more than Apple, and how true the above allegations were.
The phone that has just been used for a year or two is getting slower and slower after an occasional system upgrade, and even lags from time to time, so you have no choice but to buy a new one.
Many consumers have encountered this situation, and there have been voices of suspicion on the internet that it is a small move made by the manufacturer to market the new model, but all along, few manufacturers have been willing to admit it.
As the saying goes, no blessing comes without a curse, and now Apple is old and miserable.
The decision by China to fine Apple was prompted by the company's suggestion that users update their smartphone operating systems, only to have their phones run slower as a result of such updates.
So, after Italy became the first country to penalise a manufacturer for deliberately accelerating the obsolescence of its phones, China has also stepped in and fined Apple 645 million yuan directly.
If it was just a little money, Cook said: it's just money! But it was the back taxes that really killed Cook himself.
The total amount to be paid over the years adds up to 150.458 billion yuan, or 21.7 billion dollars at the real time exchange rate, plus the fine, which is about 21.8 billion dollars.
This is an astronomical amount, not to mention the fact that Cook will faint when he hears about it, and Apple's shareholders will vomit blood when they hear the news.
This is definitely something that the world did not expect, and no economist has ever thought even for a moment in this direction.
How can a little rabbit be so mean? Maybe it can't be described as vicious anymore, as the country's foodies are n-eyed and dumbfounded!
Once the news was revealed, investors were all instantly blown away too! The market value of companies such as Old America, led by Apple, plummeted in response, and as soon as the market opened the following day, Apple's stock plummeted off a cliff again.
Tech stocks had just seen a spring back thanks to a conference to finalise the developer technology system solution, and it had only been a few days? Well, now it's back to the pre-liberation rhythm all of a sudden.
Those who are careful will notice that in recent months, the volatility line of the global stock market has simply fluctuated up and down like an electrocardiogram, which is really playing with the rhythm of the heartbeat ah.
The volatility of the stock market is precisely a reflection of the current global economic jitters.
It has to be said that those capital giants and conglomerates are making a fortune in the stock market as a result, because he knows the news more quickly than the ordinary shareholder.
But ordinary retail investors would not have such a quick and reliable source of information and would have been trapped by the time they found out.
The whole world did not expect the Chinese to deliver such a heavy blow to the high-end industry of the United States, both in terms of the target and the scale of the sanctioned companies, which set a new record.
Everyone seemed to feel that the black rabbit and the hawk sauce were really going to be at each other's throats this time, and that it was the rhythm of a big fight.
All of a sudden, all of the multinational trade was unpredictable. There were many people who were nervous, especially companies in the multinational trade, but if the two gods continued to fight, would they want to do business in the future? If the two gods continue to tussle, will they be able to do business in the future? Will they be able to live their lives?
All sorts of comments have emerged at this time, some voices exclaiming that the ebb of globalisation that Li Linfei once said might really come, some voices gloating over Li Linfei's huge and ambitious attempts to reshape the pattern of the automotive world have mostly ended in abortive deaths.
The current global economic situation, the largest participant is China and the United States, now the two sides to be at odds, but also cooperation a ball.
The Europeans are also adding fuel to the fire, saying that the history of bipolar rivalry will be repeated, implying that we should consider taking sides, causing a lot of fear.
