Chapter 876 Don't Give In
"Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed, an official announcement has been issued."
"it is true?"
"Well, it's true."
"Why does it feel a bit magical, it always feels like something has been sucked out of the whole universe."
"This is the only person in my impression who is clearly alive, but seems to be living in history."
On March 14, 2018, the whole world was discussing one thing: Stephen Hawking passed away.
The high-level group of the Dafeng Group is also discussing this matter now, because some public opinion in the West is taking the opportunity to attack the Dafeng Group.
Hawking reminded three things when he was alive, don't over-develop artificial intelligence, don't study time travel, and don't contact aliens.
The Dafeng Group has now begun to attack strong artificial intelligence. It is impossible for Meng Qian to study the matter of space-time travel without leaking the news. As for contact with aliens, the ambitions of the Dafeng Group in alien exploration in the past two years have made many people wonder. I feel that the Gale Group is likely to contact aliens next.
No, Meng Qian did the three things that Hawking reminded not to do
Dafeng Group didn't respond positively, because Meng Qian felt bored, but just two days later, Meng Qian received a message that he was very concerned about.
"The UK will launch an investigation into Fengxin, or will ban Fengxin from operating in the UK"
"What's going on?" Meng Qian immediately asked Xiao Boshi to find out the situation.
"Mr. Meng, while we have recently deepened our cooperation with European companies and European countries, representatives from the United States have also frequently appeared in Europe.
Judging from the information currently available, the focus of their negotiations with Europe is on technology and public opinion. "
"public opinion?"
"The reason why we are able to cooperate with Europe today is that apart from our absolute technological advantages, a very important point is our long-term public opinion influence in the European market, so that more Europeans from all walks of life can see a more real of Huaxia.
The United States is very clear about this.
If it weren't for the existence of such a group of Chinese public opinion platforms like Fengxin, the Chinese in the eyes of more Europeans can be described as unsightly. How could they have so many cooperations with an unsightly national company. "
Meng Qian had a serious expression on his face, "I talked about this issue with several media representatives there when I was in France before. If compared with the United States, the public opinion in Europe is also very passive, and they are also deeply affected by it. Its harmful.
People in France once told me that Fengxin is sometimes partial, but Fengxin can at least keep the truth as the bottom line of public opinion in most cases, so although Fengxin is a product of Huaxia , but in Europe, Fengxin actually helped them.
After all, Twitter will not consider European countries.
This is also the intrinsic basis for Fengxin to survive in Europe for a long time, so what happened to the UK this time? "
"Of course, Europe needs Fengxin, but they also need our technology. In all likelihood, this is under tremendous pressure and they have to make some choices."
"Is it really forced?"
Meng Qian was also not sure, so he decided to contact some new friends in the UK to see if he could confirm the situation.
That night, Meng Qian had a conversation with David Rothschild.
"Fengxin has created hundreds of thousands of jobs and a million-pound market for the UK. Is the UK really willing to let Fengxin go?
If the UK wants to build a social platform, it may be said that it is to protect its own brands, but the problem is that if Fengxin really leaves now, the UK will only further welcome Twitter, so that Twitter can be better in the market. British development.
Sacrificing everything that Fengxin brought to the UK in vain, and making a wedding dress purely for Twitter, how can the UK be so generous? "This call was made for this matter, so Meng Qian got into the topic very straightforwardly.
Everyone is smart, and David didn't hide it, "Mr. Meng should be aware of the intricate stakes behind this. The extent of cooperation between the United Kingdom and the United States in all aspects is beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
Of course, Fengxin's departure is a loss for the UK, but isn't the departure of 5G and Cloud Zhilian R&D a loss for us?
Compared with Dafeng Group like you, our cooperation with American companies surpasses yours in terms of breadth and depth.
Mr. Meng, the UK has always supported Dafeng Group, whether it is about 5G or AI-Cloud. It is impossible for you to take advantage of everything. "David's response confirmed Xiao Bozhi's guess.
However, Meng Qian, who got this answer, was furious on the spot, "What advantage do we have? Is our reputation provoking the civil strife in the UK, or is our product really installed with a back door?
All the products of Dafeng Group are upright, and the development in the UK is even more reasonable and legal. Now we have to sacrifice something, and blame us for wanting to take advantage of it?
How many jobs do we provide in the UK? How much technological development has been driven? And because of the cooperation between Dafeng Group and the UK, the proportion of Chinese students going to the UK has been increasing in the past two years. How much money have you made from our overseas students? What advantage do we have? "
Seeing Meng Qian getting angry directly, David realized that Meng Qian didn't mean to compromise at this time, so he directly blamed him, "Mr. Meng shouldn't tell me these words, but should ask those who redefine fairness."
Meng Qian smiled, and at the same time calmed himself down, "This matter really has nothing to do with Mr. David, but I believe Mr. David is definitely interested in doing business."
"What does Mr. Meng say?" David was really interested.
"As you said, there are complex interests behind this matter, but I believe that if there is no external environmental influence, the British side is not so willing to make such a choice.
Since it is the influence of the external environment, there must be room for negotiation inside.
I would like to ask Mr. David to walk around and lobby. I can tell Mr. David very clearly that no matter it is technical cooperation or rumors, we will not make concessions. I believe that the British side does not want to make a mess. "
"Mr. Meng may have overestimated me. I can't do much."
"If it doesn't work, let the supporters pretend to be fools for a while. We will definitely fight with the opposition. Whether the supporters can do something at that time depends on how far Mr. David can help to speak."
"But those who act are smart people, and those who watch plays are not fools."
"We can set a time limit."
"What prediction does Mr. Meng have for the future?" David understood the meaning behind it sensitively.
"This time it's not a prediction, but me." Meng Qian's tone suddenly became a little deeper, "Sooner or later, I will fight back."
David's eyes changed rapidly. After a few seconds of silence on both sides, David responded, "But it's really inconvenient for us to come forward at this time."
"We are now a community of interests, and I believe our future cooperation of interests will become more and more in-depth."
"But Mr. Meng, don't forget that our cooperation with the United States is more in-depth." David did not shy away from it. Obviously, this is also the confidence of an established capitalist family.
"A capitalist is a capitalist." Meng Qian said in his heart, and at the same time said in a strong tone, "I can give Mr. David something."
"what?"
"Ceded land."
"Ceded the land?" David even thought he heard it wrong. He still had a little understanding of what kind of person Meng Qian was. How could Meng Qian do such a thing as ceding the land?
"But I won't give you the city that originally belonged to me." Just when David was puzzled, Meng Qian chased after him.
But David was even more puzzled, "What does Mr. Meng mean by that?"
"I can give you the city of America."
"A city in the United States?"
"I just sent you an email, you can check it out."
David checked the email first, and almost half an hour later he replied to Meng Qian with two words: deal.
A few days later, Dafeng Group started a large-scale prosecution, which continued to amplify the impact of the incident. At the same time, people from the self-media related to wind news in the UK all independently stood up to protest.
For them, the departure of Fengxin means unemployment.
The pressure brought by the Gale Group and some internal movements made the matter of expelling Fengxin from the UK into a vacillating state, but at the same time, a few days later, on March 22, a more attention-grabbing incident occurred.
The trade war has begun.
The global stock market fell, and the market was further chaotic, but on March 22, the artificial intelligence standard under the Global Cloud Intelligence Association Standard Association will be elected as a global unified standard by artificial intelligence associations and related organizations in 49 countries.
These 49 countries include 22 developed countries such as Germany, France, Singapore, and Neon Country.
This day is very lively.
