Black tech predators

Chapter 254 [Standard Controversy]

Shangdu, Tianqing Technology Group, Hive Headquarters.

The superconducting battery energy storage technical standard program formulation hearing meeting was held as scheduled.

The formulation of product standards is not something that can be done quickly, and the process is very cumbersome. From the drafting of the plan to the final implementation, it is first necessary to set up a standard setting group, formulate the plan and draft the standard, revise the standard, publish a draft for comments, revise again, and standardize , submit to relevant departments for record, release and implement.

And this is only to formulate the product standards of the company. There is no doubt that Tianqing Technology will not be satisfied with this, and it will make its new standard plan an international standard and promote it to globalization.

But this is definitely not an easy task. Europeans and Americans will not let you achieve your goal so easily, but Tianqing Technology has long had a solution.

The conference site was bustling with people. As the hearing conference approached, people from all walks of life entered the site one after another. Media reporters from home and abroad carried their own equipment and "occupied favorable terrain" in advance. As many as three media organizations came to the conference site. Four hundred.

Luxury cars drove up outside, and the people who got out of the cars were all well-known leaders in the technology industry. The lowest level was the global vice president level. Elon Musk, Mr. Wang and other industry celebrities showed up one after another.

More than 1000 guests were invited this time, and more than 800 companies were represented behind them. These companies are either giants or top-notch companies, and no matter how bad they are, they are ranked first.

It is no exaggeration to say that superconducting battery energy storage has leveraged a global market size of at least US$600 trillion with a global market size of less than US$[-] billion.

Smartphones, digital cameras, tablet computers, new energy vehicles, drones, etc., these industrial markets are one of the largest markets in a single release, and they all rely on the development of battery technology in the upstream of the industrial chain, or the development of battery technology. Development and progress have profoundly affected these industries.

In the high-tech field, no matter whether an industry has a market size of 50 billion or 5000 billion, as long as it reaches the top of the industry or even a technological monopoly, it has an unparalleled right to speak.

It was already 9:35, and the meeting was about to start in less than 10 minutes.

Outside the headquarters building, another black car drove into the parking lot, and Mark, who got off the car, walked towards the Hive headquarters building with hasty steps.

However, when he was about to enter, he was stopped by the security personnel at the door. The security personnel of Tianqing Technology are not the security guards in people's stereotyped impressions. With so many big players coming to this conference, the security factor of the hive headquarters has been raised to the highest level. Level, all security personnel actually wear the appropriate equipment, including thermal weapons.

There are also clear whistles and hidden whistles, which are fully escorting the stability of the conference.

"Please show the invitation letter."

Mark, who was stopped, held back and said, "I don't have an invitation letter, but I want to meet the president of your company!"

"Sorry, you can't enter without an invitation letter." The security guard who stopped him spoke fluent English, with a serious expression on his face, and hehe in his heart, why can't a foreigner who is so lazy without an invitation letter go to heaven?

Mark took out a certificate and said, "Did you see it? I represent the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and Tianqing didn't even say hello to IEC when it formulated the standard plan..."

Mark became more and more excited, expressing strong indignation and dissatisfaction. Although the security guards who stopped him felt contemptuous, they did a good job in changing the work. Knowing that all the important people who came to the conference today, this guy probably has something to do with being so fierce, so Immediately contacted the relevant personnel with a pager.

After about 3 minutes, a man in formal attire came out of the building, came to Mark and said with a smile, "Mr. Mark?"

"I am."

"Hello, Mr. Mark, President Qiu asked me to invite you."

……

In an office at the company headquarters, Gu Cheng and Qiu Shiming were chatting, and the meeting was about to start in ten minutes.

"...This is just an informal meeting. Even if it's a formal developer conference, I don't care about those who vote against. The company should only pay attention to those who vote for." Gu Cheng sipped a cup of tea, looked at Lao Qiu and spread his hands : "Valid in favor, invalid in opposition."

Brief and concise!

Qiu Shiming shrugged without a smile and refused to deny it.

The voting for the formulation of the standard plan is not that the minority obeys the majority, but is based on the weight. Taking a step back, even if two or three companies agree, they can also implement common standards among them.

The so-called standard is just to better optimize the allocation of resources. Opponents just don't play with you, but they don't prevent you from playing your own.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lao Qiu responded, "Come in."

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Qiu, this is Mr. Mark, the person in charge of the IEC representative."

Gu Cheng cast his eyes on this middle-aged man with a hooked nose. Lao Qiu stood up, shook hands with him, greeted him, and then invited him to take a seat. It's not easy to say anything, but I cursed secretly in my heart:
Arrogant bastard!
Of course he knew Gu Cheng, how could the legendary founder of Tianqing Technology Group not know him?
Mark had some complaints in his heart, but he didn't show it. Lao Qiu, who was sitting beside him, said with a smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Mark?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Mark immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, saying: "With all due respect, your company's actions this time are really...excessive! Why didn't IEC receive any news about such an important matter? People like you The practice has brought about extremely bad nature, and it will waste the efforts of the IEC international standard system for more than a hundred years. This is the result of joint maintenance of 173 countries around the world. Don’t forget that your country is also a permanent member of the IEC Council.”

IEC is the earliest international electrotechnical standardization organization in the world. It is responsible for international standardization in the field of electrical engineering and electronic engineering. It was established in 1906 and is now headquartered in Geneva.

The purpose of IEC is to promote international cooperation on all issues related to electrical standardization in electrical, electronic and related technical fields. According to the normal process, Tianqing Technology Group's superconducting battery energy storage technology business must be globalized, and the formulation of standards requires the depth of IEC. participate.

If Tianqing Technology is a little-known small company, IEC is not a bird, but Tianqing Technology Group is one of the top [-] technology giants in the world. There is a real giant and its influence is huge.

This time, Tianqing Technology shouted to the world that there are countless 3C product providers around the world. The so-called 3C is a general term for computers, communications, and consumer electronics products that start with the letter "C".

This battle is not ordinary big.

IEC is of course anxious. If Tianqing Technology sings a one-man show by itself, IEC will definitely enjoy it. But in front of the interests, it is bustling and crowded. If such an influential company sings this play with Tianqing Technology, the situation will be completely different. same.

When Qiu Shiming heard it, he saw Mark's angry and dissatisfied expression, and he smiled and comforted him: "Mr. Mark, the matter is not as serious as you think."

It’s okay not to say that, but when he said it, Mark became excited again: “Isn’t this serious?”

Tianqing Technology’s approach may not allow the IEC international standard system to be subverted, but it will not be so easy to accept it in the future. Everyone followed the rules, and it has been like this for more than 100 years. Qing Technology came out to make trouble, and the energy was still so great that IEC was not in a hurry to see the ghost.

Lao Qiu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mark, this is just an informal hearing. We didn't submit the document to the IEC because it's not yet time."

Seeing Mark's suspicious face, Lao Qiu added an explanation: "To be honest, this is the case. In fact, our company's plan to promote the new standard of superconducting battery technology is divided into three major processes from the inside to the outside. The first is to solve the problem. The internal product standard of the enterprise, the second is to promote the standard to the whole country, which has been filed now, and the last is the international standard. We plan to contact the IEC for the record at the last step."

Is that true?
Mark was dubious, pondered for a moment, and suddenly widened his eyes: "What's the difference?"

Gu Cheng, who remained silent, suddenly said: "Of course there is a difference. I can't spend so much time researching a plan, and finally we are killed by the IEC, right? If the IEC fails, can our superconducting battery business fail?" Commercialized? Of course it needs to be commercialized. If the IEC doesn’t give it, we can only give up globalization temporarily and implement the standard solution in the Greater China region. This is a supermarket, enough to form a self-circulation.”

Mark heard his intentions, especially when he said to Gu Cheng that "give up globalization temporarily", which shows that globalization is still going to be done in the end, and this is an undisguised means.Mark does not accept and cannot deny his words, the size of the Greater China market lies there.

With technology, a large-scale consumer market, and the world's most complete industrial system and complete upstream and downstream supply chain system, as long as you don't seek the world market, you can do it in the Greater China market, and the scale is still huge.

And as long as multinational giants like Apple are unwilling to give up this market, they will definitely incorporate themselves into their standard solution system in the local market. In the end, more and more participants will form a forceful situation against IEC.

Will these multinational giants give up the huge Huaguo market?Absolutely impossible!

Mark suddenly realized that the opponent's competitiveness was too strong. Whether it was monopoly-level technology or the size of the consumer market, the advantages of all parties were combined to form an unparalleled comprehensive competitiveness. This competitiveness will eventually be transformed into strong international competition. force, thereby prying open the global market.

The IEC has to agree even if it agrees, and it has to agree if it does not agree.

unstoppable.

Mark said angrily in his heart: With the technology and the consumer market, can you do whatever you want?
