Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 199 will continue
At Pudong International Airport, Zhang Yong and Madam bid farewell to Michelin. The child is going to study in the United States.

I checked in two huge suitcases and still carried a huge backpack.Michelin waved to his parents across the security checkpoint, and then strode deep into the airport with full of enthusiasm and yearning for the future.

On this side, Madam watched his son's disappearing back, leaning against Zhang Yong's side, already crying into tears.

"Okay," Zhang Yong patted Madam's back lightly, comforting: "The child will always leave when he grows up. One year will be soon, and he can come back for summer vacation."

Madam was still sobbing uncontrollably, "I won't be able to stay for a few days when I come back again, the heartless child left without even looking back."

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "What can I do if I look at you more? Think about it, a boy who can never leave home, how can he be successful."

"I don't want him to be promising, I just want him to be with us."

"Okay, but what you and I say doesn't count. He decides his own way."

"Alas," Madam sighed long, "I always thought I was still very young, why did I become an empty nester all of a sudden."

"Empty nest old man!" Zhang Yong was amused by the word, and after laughing, he was a little sad like Madam.He misses his son too, just not as obviously as Madam makes it appear.

"Let's go, there's no point in waiting here. He arrived at the transfer point and contacted us."

"Well," Madam agreed, sticking closer to Zhang Yong, and they suddenly realized that the two of them are more important to each other after the child is gone.

While waiting for the train at the maglev station, Zhang Yong received a call from Gao Ping.

"Zhang Yong, I just sent you a message, did you see it?"

"Yes, I just saw it."

"These media, why are they so annoying, like a swarm of flies."

"Mr. Gao, don't worry. Once the foreign media reports, the domestic media will quickly catch hot spots. They don't care what kind of impact it will bring, and the flow is the last word. Besides, the relationship between you and these media seems to have been not very good. Okay, right." Zhang Yong seemed to be smiling.

"Why do I feel that you are a little gloating?"

"No, no," Zhang Yong quickly denied, "I didn't. But I just found out about it, but it probably didn't just appear now. How long has it been?"

"It's been more than a year. A year ago, the U.S. Department of Commerce suddenly proposed an investigation into Zhonghe and conducted an audit on our North American company, the former Hertz. At that time, we expected that there might be some unfavorable situations. , For more than a year, we have been communicating and working hard in various aspects. But it has not achieved results. It seems that what should come will still come."

"Since what is supposed to come will always come, why do you care about the media reports. Mr. Gao, I am in Shanghai and I will return to Beijing on the weekend. Next week...Thursday, Thursday, is it convenient for you? Me and I will bring two friends to meet you Meet and see what we can do."

Gao Ping's restless mood suddenly seemed to be relieved, as if he had received some hints.

"Zhang Yong, do you have any good countermeasures?"

"It's hard to say, Mr. Gao, see you next week."

……

It's hard to say whether this matter has anything to do with Thompson, who claims to be a military man, or whether it has something to do with Zhang Yong's quarrel with the madman.

But what is certain is that this matter has more or less something to do with SKydon.Zhonghe's strong output on the Beidou tablet has greatly affected SKydon's similar business, and unlike the loss of the receiver and OEM business, this is not in SKydon's plan. GIS data collection, like precision agriculture, is currently the most important business for SKydon.

I don't know the procedures and means. In short, this Hertz company, which has been acquired by Zhonghe for many years, has once again attracted the attention of the US Department of Commerce.

Since the investigation and audit a year ago, Hertz's future has become uncertain.

Gao Ping organized the American team, which of course also included foreign aid, the Horton team.A year-long communication with the U.S. Department of Commerce has not achieved any results, and everything is moving in an irreversible direction.

The U.S. Department of Commerce finally proposed two plans, both of which are complete divestitures:

First, Hertz will exist as an independent entity, but from now on, it will not have any relationship with Zhonghe, nor will it have any business dealings.

Second, Hertz will be completely sold to a US company or a US consortium, and the board of directors shall not have any public partnerships or members associated with public partnerships.

Of course, Gao Ping does not want to implement any of these plans. Hertz has now transformed into a R&D and product department, and all transactions are in the Zhonghe channel. Such a divestiture will cause huge losses to both parties.

He consulted Holden and the lawyers in the United States, "Hertz is no longer the Hertz that was acquired at the time, and our products have been updated and upgraded for many generations.  …"

"Especially high-precision boards. Before, they only had single-frequency boards. Today's high-precision products are the result of our secondary development. If they are divested, how should this type of products be classified?"

"Two points, first, no matter before or after the acquisition, as long as it is in the United States, the results of Hertz's internal research and development belong to Hertz. If the two parties separate, Zhonghe will not be able to take any results. This Years of audits and investigations, what do you think they're doing? Is it just financial?"

"Second, as long as the part of Zhonghe's domestic research and development is based on the bottom layer of Hertz, whether it is circuit design or code. As long as it is the same, similar, or homologous to Hertz products, these can no longer be used after divestiture. Otherwise, once caught by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Zhonghe will get into huge legal troubles."

"Bandit," Gao Ping couldn't help cursing, "we Chinese say, buy it and leave it. We have bought it for so many years, and we still want to take it back. Is this the universal value of Americans?  … "

"We acquired Hertz for the purpose of subsequent research and development. Our research and development all rely on the bottom layer of Hertz. The chip of our dual-frequency board is packaged with two Hertz chips. Could it be that we can no longer use all of this."

Holden spread his hands, "It's not easy to handle. Mr. Gao, the Americans are reasonable to a certain extent. For example, now, your best choice is to negotiate a good price with the US Department of Commerce, and use the profits from the repurchase to come Try to make up for your loss."

"Damn it, we're not in the business of reselling the company, no matter how much profit we make from the sale, it's definitely not what we want..."

"Troubleshooting, let's negotiate as much as possible. I hope we can see a turning point."

……

Gao Ping failed to fulfill his wish. One year later, the U.S. Department of Commerce suddenly included Zhonghe on the entity list, which means that if Zhonghe refuses to sign an agreement and implement the U.S. divestiture plan, Zhonghe will face severe sanctions from the United States.

Just when Gao Ping was in a state of desperation and tangled, a domestic media took the lead in reporting the matter, which caused quite a commotion for a while.

Of course, it’s not all bad. Each of the companies included in the entity list by the United States is a top technology company, and they can arouse the sympathy and support of many Chinese people.It's just that these supports don't help Gao Ping solve the current predicament at all.

"Zhang Yong, next Thursday," Gao Ping seriously added this to his schedule, and then gave the schedule to his assistant.

……

Zhang Yong and his party came to Zhonghe. Although Gao Ping was full of lawsuits, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the three of them.

Zhang Yong, the tallest, stood in the middle, with his furious senior brother on his left, and a man with long hair hanging down his shoulders on his right.

The two are one on the left and the other on the right, with one hair up and the other down, the whole combination is full of joy.

Zhang Yong also laughed, he could feel what Gao Ping was laughing at, he himself actually thought it was very funny.

"Mr. Gao, let me tell you. You know this one, our Beidou scholar, my senior brother, you have never seen this one. His name is Liu Xin. He is not asking you to pay more attention, but the core of the chip."

Gao Ping looked at Liu Xin seriously, and thought, "How can there be such a strange name." But he still replied: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhang Yong continued, "We brought you some things, I hope you will be satisfied."

The angry maniac opened an anti-static delicate box, with a pious look, like a teenager who wants to take out a diamond ring to propose marriage.

On the sponge holder, there is a black square sheet.

"Mr. Gao, in fact, we have already made the dual-frequency chip you want. The reason why it took so long is because we completely redesigned this chip after digesting and absorbing the bottom layer of Hertz. Now this is a A brand new dual-frequency chip. We and Hertz, note that we and Hertz, not Hertz and us, have done a complete separation. Now this is a chip that belongs entirely to the Chinese, and there is no shadow of Hertz."

When Gao Ping was still deeply shocked and unable to extricate himself, Liu Xin who was on the side handed over a USB flash drive.

"All Hertz's information, all integrated circuits, and related codes have been rewritten. The new design is also in the USB flash drive. I want to repeat what this M colleague said. We stripped Hertz, not Hertz. us."

A burst of cheers broke out in the meeting room, the sound was so loud that it spread out of the meeting room, and everyone in the corridor at the door and the people in the nearby workstations heard it.

And obviously, it was Gao Ping's voice.

All the people who heard the voice looked at each other, not knowing what happened.Mr. Gao has always been a very serious person, and he also has a set of steel nerves that can never collapse before him. He rarely loses his composure like this.

What's going on here?
Gao Ping couldn't care about these anymore, he was jumping and shouting in the conference room, not knowing how to release his emotions.He laughed, but seemed to have tears again.

Zhang Yong looked at Gao Ping with a smile, he must have cried and laughed like this several times in his life.

The angry maniac was also laughing, proudly and presumptuously.

Liu Xin was in a daze. It had been a long time since he had such an emotion. He seemed to be staying in the sky all these years, not eating the fireworks of the world.But when he saw Gao Ping in front of him, he suddenly had a feeling, should he think about it, it's time to go down to earth.

Gao Ping, who was a little calm, picked up the phone and called Horton in the United States in front of Zhang Yong.

Poor Holden was awakened by a call from the other side of the ocean in the darkness.

"Gao Ping, do you frankly know what time it is here?"

Gao Ping ignored him, "Listen, Holden. Help me arrange negotiations with the Ministry of Commerce. Sell Hertz to them, sell them all. Negotiate a good price for me. The higher the price, the better. Go on to sleep, good night !"
