When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 404: Attention from Capitalist Countries

In many Hollywood blockbusters, audiences around the world can often see special parts of the bald eagle.

For example, FBI, CIA, and NSA.

These departments are associated with exciting words such as agents, assassinations, national security, top-secret files, etc.

Many people have had fantasies, putting themselves in the shoes of others, carrying out various exciting missions and actions, enjoying the excitement of guns and fire, and looking for their own value in life.

But many people see only what they were meant to see.

The real situation of these special departments is actually beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For example, in 2013, the Prism Gate incident exposed by Snowden revealed the dark side of the bald eagle.

As the initiator of the PRISM Gate project, the NSA was officially exposed to the world with this incident.

Bald Eagle.

Fort Meade, Maryland.

Here, there is a building complex that far exceeds the headquarters of the FBI and CIA. The headquarters covers an area of ​​15 hectares and is known as the "mysterious maze."

This is the headquarters of the NSA, which has more than 4000 listening stations and eavesdropping outposts in the country and around the world. Many of them are located in foreign military bases, and some are placed on ships, submarines and aircraft.

In addition, more than 200 satellites of various types operating in space are also responsible for monitoring tasks, and there are more than 300 supercomputer systems on the ground that can monitor 100 million telephones at the same time.

It can eavesdrop on most communications around the world, and its system can automatically analyze the content of communications.

At the NSA headquarters, there are 6.8 people working in code breaking, language translation, and electronic technology.

When Snowden revealed the Prism scandal, he revealed that the NSA intercepted 2 million text messages every day, monitored Microsoft's email services, secretly stole data from Yahoo and Google, and so on.

In addition, the NSA can also specifically target foreign intelligence targets based on intelligence needs.

For example, Warwick's Shenzhen headquarters was once attacked by the NSA, which infiltrated the network, obtained information related to Warwick's routers and switches, and monitored the communications of Warwick executives.

As the national security department of the Bald Eagle, and because the NSA is extremely dependent on the Internet, it must have an advantage in key devices such as graphics cards, motherboards, chips, and systems. For example, it must have a backdoor so that it can directly command the damage of equipment or steal information when necessary.

So, when news came from China that someone in the semiconductor field had developed advanced packaging technology and achieved the effect of breaking through the limitations of chip performance through packaging design.

NSA command center.

When the Chinese intelligence chief saw this information, his eyes suddenly became fierce and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I knew those CIA guys were useless. They didn't even notice this intelligence!"

While cursing the CIA people, the person in charge was looking through the specific intelligence.

"I didn't expect that Professor Wang Donglai would sabotage an FBI operation. What a bunch of useless people."

"The RF chip is so important, but they can't even keep it under control. The developer has been controlled, but they can let him go back. He is a piece of crap among crap!"

"Semi-solid-state batteries, artificial intelligence technology, advanced packaging..."

"Contact the CIA and activate the pigeons in China to keep an eye on Professor Wang's movements. In addition, according to previous plans, list Professor Wang Donglai as a third-level target."

"Finally, you can try to acquire or buy shares to control this person or company."

After reading the intelligence, the person in charge made the decision in a nonchalant tone.

"Yes!"

Within the NSA, there is an internal evaluation standard for some important foreign figures.

Any name that appears here has been found, through intelligence collection and analysis, to have certain factors that endanger the national security of the Bald Eagle.

However, there will be different ratings depending on the degree of threat.

For example, if Qian Lao were put into the present, he would be on the red list.

Although the third-level targets have not reached the level of quick disposal, they are on the NSA's list after all. They will be synchronized with the CIA and certain arrangements will be made.

This kind of thing is actually very normal.

The relationship between countries is inherently extremely complicated. Their hero may be my enemy. It is nothing more than this.

Being able to interrupt the technological development of other countries through some small means is definitely a sure win.

Right now, Wang Donglai is being targeted by a bald eagle.

……

Silicon Valley.

Tesla headquarters.

In an empty test site, an extremely handsome, sci-fi-feeling car was running on the site.

The vehicle gradually stopped and a white man with a smile on his face got out of the car.

It is Musk, the founder of Tesla.

Musk walked in front of his employees, nodded, and praised: "This is a cool car, I feel pretty good about it!"

"It can only be a little more perfect!"

"For example, its shape can be more graceful, which I think can also improve its efficiency and achieve longer endurance. I think you can ask more professional aerodynamic experts for help on this point."

"Remember, don't be stingy with your investment in research and development. Otherwise, consumers in the market will teach you an unforgettable lesson, and I will fire you without hesitation as soon as the product fails."

"Of course, you can rest assured that I will give you the treatment you deserve according to the law."

"But why don't you think about making the product more successful? In this way, it will be sought after in the market, the company will have money, and I will give you a huge reward."

It has to be said that as the founder of the company, Musk has a strong personal charisma.

Even though he said these cruel words mercilessly in front of these engineers, no one showed any strange emotions.

Because, over the years, they have heard too much, and those who couldn't stand it have already resigned.

Those who can stay are able to accept this.

Just as Musk finished speaking, his secretary came over and said, "I think you must take this news seriously!"

As he spoke, he brought up the news that Wang Donglai had developed a semi-solid-state battery.

Musk quickly read it and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, God, this is impossible!"

"I highly doubt the authenticity of this news. How could a semi-solid-state battery be developed so easily?"

The secretary replied calmly, "Professor Wang Donglai developed a lithium-sulfur battery before developing the semi-solid battery. The battery performance is extremely excellent. The factory construction and production line adjustment have been completed in China and have entered production."

"And the semi-solid-state battery that we have developed has also received strong support from the local government of this company, with an investment of nearly 3 billion US dollars. I think this is enough to prove the authenticity of this news!"

Musk listened quietly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"China, this is a huge market!"

"Keep an eye on this company and make sure the news is true. Have the Chinese branch collect relevant information immediately."

"With China's automobile industry capabilities, they have no way of making better electric cars than us, so don't worry, time will be on our side."

The secretary nodded and made note of the matter.

……

Sakura country.

TDK Group headquarters.

A high-level meeting was being held. At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely tense, and it could be said that all the participants looked unhappy.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

As a company born and bred in Sakura Country, it was founded in 1935 and has a history of years, which is definitely a long history.

Invented the magnetic material ferrite, invented the electron microscope, developed radar, invented the AC bias magnetic recording method, launched the world's first transistor radio, invented the IC, launched home computer game consoles, discovered high-temperature superconductivity...

He has made many contributions and gained considerable fame around the world.

Since the beginning of the new century, TDK Group has actively seized the opportunity of China's development and vigorously developed its business in China.

For example, ATL in Hong Kong is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Group.

Moreover, before this year, TDK Group was the largest shareholder of CATL, one of the leading new energy battery manufacturers in China.

In other words, batteries are one of TDK Group's businesses.

Apple's supplier is TDK, which shows how advanced TDK's technology is.

Originally, relying on its technical reserves in this area, TDK Group's development trend was quite good.

However, with the loss of CATL's shares, coupled with the rise of BYD.

The business of ATL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK, has been greatly impacted.

Especially now, news has come out that semi-solid-state batteries have been successfully developed.

If it were just this news, it wouldn't be a big deal.

As I said, every laboratory has a hidden technology.

However, commercial batteries that can be mass-produced and have excellent performance are a different story.

The commercial value of such battery products is increasing exponentially.

For example, TSL's 18650 battery, BYD's blade battery, and TDK's ceramic material battery.

The commercial value of these batteries is no longer just commercial value; it also carries the confidence in a company’s market valuation.

With this technology, the company's market valuation can double. Without this technology, the market value can even drop to one-fifth of its original value.

This is both the importance of technology and the charm of finance.

however.

With Wang Donglai's successful development of semi-solid-state batteries, TDK Group immediately felt the pressure and sense of urgency.

The commercial application range of batteries is quite wide, and in addition to large equipment such as new energy vehicles, small electronic devices are the mainstream.

Among small electronic devices, smartphones are the most profitable segment.

Originally, smartphones have a big pain point, which is insufficient power.

Improve the battery energy density and increase the capacity by converting a 1,500 mAh battery into a 2,000 mAh battery.

However, battery performance has its limits after all.

However, the power consumption of smartphones is far exceeding the speed of battery development.

Various applications, coupled with the design of the phone, place limitations on the battery.

The TDK Group is well aware of this and has invested a lot of resources in research and development.

The hope is to use their new ceramic materials to develop solid-state batteries and completely take the lead in the field of batteries.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The strategic planning made by TDK Group is very good, but it is still far from success.

Not to mention solid-state batteries, even the technical difficulties of semi-solid-state batteries have not been overcome.

Therefore, after hearing the news of the successful development of semi-solid-state batteries, many executives and technical experts including ATL were recalled.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do now?"

Saito, the president of TDK Corporation, asked with a sullen face.

"President, I think we can cooperate. As far as I know, BYD in China has already invested, and Qin Province and Tangdu have also invested 15 billion. We can also propose conditions for capital injection."

"China is currently preparing to open its doors and introduce foreign investment, and it attaches great importance to this aspect."

"So, I think as long as we use the name of the group, the local authorities will definitely not look down on us, and will take the initiative to help us successfully inject capital, which is also a political achievement for them."

"Even if the young professor from Galaxy Technology was unwilling, he had little choice but to agree after being persuaded by local officials."

Robin, CEO of ATL, answered confidently.

As the CEO of ATL, although Robin is from Hong Kong, he has been in Hong Kong for a long time and has a deep understanding of China, so after hearing Saito's words, he answered with great confidence.

"I don't think it is the best choice. You know, the performance of semi-solid batteries far exceeds our battery technology, and more than half of our sales are in China. Once this semi-solid battery is mass-produced, our products will be greatly impacted."

"There is no doubt that by then, we will lose half of our sales, which will be a heavy blow to the group."

“So, even if we succeed in acquiring shares, it won’t make up for our losses.”

"I think the best option is to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we should invest in the company and discuss patent licensing, preferably overseas patent licensing. On the other hand, we should increase investment in research and development and strive to break through the technical difficulties of semi-solid-state batteries as soon as possible."

"We can send technicians to conduct technical exchanges with Galaxy Technology through official channels. Even if Galaxy Technology wants to refuse, it can't do it!"

The person who spoke was TDK's vice president, Yamauchi.

There were not many people in the conference room, and they were all core executives of the TDK Group.

So, when Yamauchi said this, everyone understood Yamauchi's true thoughts.

Technical exchange has a special meaning for the Land of Sakura.

The Sakura Country actually surpasses China in many technological fields, but it lags behind in some areas.

But this country and this nation are inherently despicable.

This is not the first or second time that commercial espionage has been carried out under the guise of communication and discussion.

These core executives are all well aware of this.

Faced with the plan proposed by Yamauchi, everyone present just thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's settled!"

“Whether it’s technical exchanges or recruiting talents, we must act immediately and make breakthroughs in technical difficulties as soon as possible!”

Saito made the final decision and gave instructions to everyone.

"Hi!"

Everyone took the order together.

……

At this moment, Wang Donglai, who was in China, had no idea about what was happening overseas.

After dealing with the company's affairs, he started to get busy with another matter.

That was what he had said before in front of the leaders of the Development and Reform Department. (End of this chapter)
