I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 531: 367-368: Gao Ling's response! (4000 words)
The sudden punishment encountered by Hillhouse Group shocked the whole world in an instant!
In less than half a day, the news spread to every corner of the world.

As one of the world's leading technology companies, Hillhouse has fully enjoyed the benefits of globalization and liberalization.

Moreover, the company's overseas sales account for more than 30% of its total sales!

It was such a company that suddenly launched an attack, which naturally caught everyone off guard.

Almost immediately, Hillhouse Technology’s stock price fell by 13%!

At the same time, in the following days, Hillhouse Technology's stock price continued to fall.

No one is optimistic that Hillhouse can get out of this blockade.

Because everyone in the world knows that Hillhouse’s opponent this time is not other friendly competitors, but a country.

This is not their subjective judgment, but in fact Alstom is a living example.

Is there a threat?

very good!

Then I will just merge it directly!

Including a series of multinational companies such as Fengtian, Bentian, Sansang, and companies like Taiji Electric, which one of them is not filled with American capital?

If you want to develop, you can.

But when the business grows bigger, you have to give me a share, and I will be the biggest shareholder!

Not only that, your company must also be within my control.

Raise funds at Xida, go public at Xida, Xida Capital takes control, and Xida enjoys the most delicious fruits of victory!
You now place the R&D department, which has the highest premium, in Dongda University. If it goes public, it will be fine for Hillhouse Technology to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market, but Hillhouse Vehicle also needs to be A+H. What does that mean?
Moreover, now the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Southeast University has acquired about 20% of the shares of Hillhouse Group. American capital has been diluted and become a minority. What does this mean?
Such a large technology leader company spans electronic technology, automobile manufacturing, chip design and manufacturing, artificial intelligence, battery manufacturing, short video communication, etc. Together, this giant has become an uncontrollable Trusu-level industrial behemoth.

How can these people sleep?

If I don't give you a little pressure, do you really think this is a globalized world?

All of a sudden, this matter became a hot topic among all Chinese people.

"What threats to Guo Jia's safety? They're all lies! Pingguo, Ericsson, Nokia, etc. set up branches in Afuhan, and they're still selling servers to Ichiro. It's been reported for several years, and there's been no news for two years. Gao Ling is doing great, and he's sure to win if he sues!"

"It's very simple. It was originally used as a cover to be lenient to oneself and strict to others. Pingguo will certainly not be punished, unless Pingguo loses the capital struggle within the United States."

"Since Xida has found evidence against Gao Ling, why not make it public? After all this time, it's all about Guo Jia's safety? Xida people can't stand your superficial understanding. This is really empty and boring."

"There is no evidence. What Xida said is the truth. But Xida has to take it as it is!"

"Gao Ling deserved it. Gao Ling sold something containing Xida's technology to Ichiro, and Xida and Ichiro were in a hostile relationship, so Xida warned Gao Ling not to sell Xida's things to Ichiro again, but Gao Ling was unwilling to give up the money from the middleman, so he continued to do it. So, the United States said, in this case, I will not do business with you. This is the so-called Gao Ling was sanctioned. This matter is purely Gao Ling's stupidity, it's confirmed!"

"I am impressed that there are still people who believe in such ridiculous reasons as above."

"Xi'an University said that if Hillhouse dares to continue researching high-tech fields, sanctions will be increased. It has nothing to do with Ichiro. It's just an excuse."

"That's enough. It's already 2018, and they are still defending Xida's behavior by saying "Hillhouse sold controlled goods to Ichiro". This kind of white lotus rhetoric can no longer deceive people. Xida has punished so many high-tech companies in China, and recently punished Dongda's Efficiency. Did these companies and Efficiency sell things to Ichiro? In essence, China wants to upgrade its industry and seize the commanding heights of science and technology, and it has touched the biggest piece of cheese of Xida. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. The "ideological dispute", "ethnic cultural conflict" and "commercial integrity" are just excuses and pretexts. Why is Hillhouse the first to be hit? Because Hillhouse itself is the vanguard of China's high-tech companies. Now it's 'ALL IN AI' and is engaged in intelligent robots. This is not an ordinary company. Who would be afraid of it?"

"It's interesting to see those people above criticizing Hillhouse. No matter what Hillhouse is like, as one of the largest high-tech companies in China, and a leading one at that, this company provides a lot of jobs and taxes. How can such a company enjoy this treatment? I bet that if Hillhouse only produced some products with low added value, no technological content, and could not break through the technological blockade, there would be fewer people criticizing Hillhouse."

"I don't know what the mentality of those who stand with the West is. If he can really run away, it's considered a high opinion of him. He is enjoying the dividends brought by the country's development and doing all kinds of dirty things. I can't say more, otherwise I will feel wronged. I'll keep nagging and say that I want to revoke his nationality. It's too ugly!"

"Direct prosecution essentially means giving up the market in exchange for a short-term impact on a company. Therefore, direct prosecution is most taboo to be prolonged and expanded. If the punishment is unknown, the power is unpredictable. The expansion of direct prosecution is actually restricting the development of the company itself."

It can be said that the hottest news recently is the layoff of Hillhouse Capital.

At the same time, everyone, especially the Chinese people, are very curious about how Hillhouse will get out of this incident.

As a star enterprise developed from Xicheng, Hillhouse has developed to this day. Although it had many haters when it was prosperous, it also has more fans.

There are many die-hard fans who have been following the show since the MP3 era!
This spanned more than ten years, and the young boy turned into a middle-aged man in his thirties.

What you are buying is not the product, but the youth you have lost!

Maybe in that MP4 player that is no longer in use, there is still the short movie that I and my first love watched together!

So a post appeared on Weibo #Gao Ling Crisis, What Should We Do! #
When Gao Huaijun saw this reply, he also felt a little moved.

Hillhouse has been operating in China for many years and has continued to invest in product research and development with the goal of producing high-quality products, allowing more people to bring in new customers after product sales. Now it has truly borne fruit.

Hillhouse is facing temporary difficulties now, but it is very good to have such a group of customers following it consistently.

Soon, the national level also responded.

A special reporter, Dong Qian, was sent to Hillhouse headquarters.

At this time, Hillhouse will also hold a special press conference on this!
Generally speaking, when Hillhouse holds a product launch conference, the attendees are basically journalists and big names in the industry, who have been in the industry for many years. But now, all the top domestic and foreign journalists have come to attend this press conference one after another.

The often-heard media outlets, such as The Times, Bild, CNN, TV Tokyo, the Central Bank, etc., all gathered in Hillhouse's press conference room, waiting for Gao Huaijun's arrival.

Generally speaking, this press conference room is where Hillhouse answers questions about some products and is rarely used.

If we want to hold a product launch conference, we will go to the product launch hall of the Shanghai R&D center to give a product introduction.

But today, the world's attention is focused here!

“Can Hillhouse survive this time?”

"It seems a bit difficult. The Mate series and P series basically cannot be made in a short period of time. They can probably only make low-end mobile phones."

"What a pity. For such a research and development-oriented company, I hope they can go global."

"This kind of enterprise is much better than the muddled Pingguo."

"Yes, what Xida did was really too much. In this era, only companies like Hillhouse can bring a glimmer of hope for development."

"Indeed, it's a pity. Their automobile industry should not be affected much, but it's hard to say about Hillhouse Technology. Maybe they will announce today that they will directly stop Hillhouse Technology's business?"

"Isn't this possible? I estimate that Hillhouse will negotiate with the United States, pay a fine of several hundred billion US dollars, and then let some people from the United States come in as supervisors, and finally release some shares to be done. In this era, no one dares to confront the United States!"

Just as the reporters were discussing, Gao Huaijun walked in from the door with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was doing a great job of managing his facial expression, and he didn't feel like he was being executed by a core superpower at all.

The photographers on the scene took a lot of photos of Gao Huaijun's face.

Because they know that the content filmed at this venue today will be the headline news during prime time tonight, so they must not be taken lightly.

At night time.

This interview was directly broadcast on CCTV’s “News Broadcast” program!
The speed, the reaction, the attention paid.

For a company, it is unique!
“In response to society’s concerns about Hillhouse.”

"Gao Huaijun, founder of Hillhouse Group, accepted an interview with the media at Hillhouse's Xicheng headquarters."

"Please read the report!"

"Gao Huaijun would like to thank the companies in the United States for their growth."

"Gao Huaijun said: I am very grateful to the American companies for accompanying Hillhouse's growth over the past decade. They have made a lot of selfless contributions. Many American parts manufacturers have given us great support. Especially in the current crisis era, this is a true experience of the conscience of American companies! It should be the night before last, the American company representative called me and reported on the support for our company and the emergency handling. I understood it! I feel that the righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few supporters."

Next up is news coverage.

"China has included Hillhouse and its subsidiaries in the Entity List, and the media is concerned that Hillhouse may be affected. In response to this question, Gao Huaijun said that Hillhouse's advanced fields are not affected by the list."

"Gao Huaijun said: Today, American companies are still trying to persuade the American government to impose self-sanctions on Chinese companies. Among the four types of controls, we are not seasonal controls, but the entity list. The entity list means that if the United States wants to sell anything to China, it must be approved. Although there is such a list, it does not affect our company, but the United States and related companies cannot but abide by the law. Therefore, they must abide by such a law for such an entity list. Some of our products of Hillhouse Technology may be affected and have a certain impact, but Hillhouse vehicles, including the products of Hillhouse derivatives companies, have not been greatly affected. And some of our most advanced technologies, such as our Hillhouse artificial intelligence, various large model layouts for AGI, will not be affected. And not only will it not be affected, but others will not be able to catch up with us in two or three years."

CCTV's "News Broadcast" program only picked up a small part of the interview.

The audience who followed this event closely knew the detailed content of the interview.

Regarding the core issue of chips in this self-determination, Gao Huaijun’s view is: To develop chips, it is not enough to just spend money, but also to spend people, and to look for talents all over the world.

Gao Huaijun introduced that Hillhouse has at least 700 mathematicians, more than 800 physicists, more than 120 chemists, six to seven thousand basic research experts, and more than senior engineers and engineers of various kinds, forming this combination to move forward.

Moreover, Hillhouse's own Hillhouse chip factory is also making advance arrangements for the most advanced chip manufacturing process. The crisis is only temporary, and Hillhouse has sufficient liquidity funds to support it.

Another acute issue is that Hillhouse will not face an extreme supply cut.

Gao Huaijun emphasized at this moment that our company will not face extreme supply cuts, and we are already prepared. During the Spring Festival this year, I judged that the time for the United States to strike would be two years later, so there is enough time.

When it comes to the conflict with Xida.

Gao Huaijun said: In order to stand at the top of the world and to reach the pinnacle of world science and technology, there will be a conflict with Xi’an University sooner or later. We can imagine the intensity of this conflict and we can also withstand it. For this reason, our company has also conducted the most extreme tests. We look forward to the dawn!

After the interview, Hillhouse immediately became the focus of world attention.

Although Gao Huaijun spoke in a very soft voice, but...

This is a hard stick!

No one in this world can speak like this.

Gao Huaijun is awesome.

It’s really awesome!
