Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After explaining the last matter that Meng Qian thought he needed to intervene, Meng Qian was ready to set off.

"Is there any latest news from Tian Wenchang?" On the way to the airport after the meeting, Meng Qian asked Xiao Boshi who was accompanying him.

"It is impossible for us to interfere in the judiciary of the United States, so it may be really difficult to find out the truth about this matter."

Time back to three days ago.

Meng Qian was studying the future development of Dafeng Bank in the office when Xiao Boshi suddenly broke into Meng Qian's office in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Xiao Bozhi's appearance, Meng Qian knew that something must have happened.

Xiao Bozhi breathed a sigh of relief, "The CEO of our German branch has been arrested."

Meng Qian's eyes tightened subconsciously, "What exactly is going on."

"ASML discovered that a company named XTAL Inc sent a spy to their company to steal technology. The spy is Chinese. After the so-called investigation, the major shareholder behind XTAL Inc is Huaxia Capital. Follow this line. Check, they found out that our German investment department has directly invested in this company, and now they say that this spy is related to our Dafeng Group.

And the CEO of our German branch was arrested in the United States on the grounds that he was suspected of commercial bribery and commercial theft. "

"The German Ministry of Investment did invest in XTAL Inc?"

"I did vote, but only accounted for 1% of the shares, which can be said to be a negligible investment by the German Ministry of Investment."

"So these claims are completely nonsense? Have you checked the specific situation?"

"There is Huaxia Capital behind XTAL Inc, but we only have a 1% shareholding relationship with us, and the largest capital behind XTAL Inc is Korea Capital, but now they say that Huaxia Capital is behind XTAL Inc, which does not raise Li State-owned capital, and we obviously only have 1% of the shares, so it doesn't mean that we are the major shareholders.

Secondly, according to the news we heard, this industrial espionage just stole some daily information, a very common act of industrial espionage, which did not involve ASML's core technology at all.

What’s more, there is news that although the spy is Chinese, the person behind him is actually a Silicon Valley company, which is even possible.”

Meng Qian instantly understood Xiao Boshi's meaning, "It's even possible that Intel and the others planted in there to monitor Asmail?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

The XTAL Inc incident was not very popular in China at the time, so Meng Qian, as a reborn, did not know about it. It was the same in another time and space. XTAL Inc did plant spies in Asmer and was discovered. XTAL Inc It was also because of this incident that it closed down. After the incident happened, the American media said that Huaxia company had stolen ASML’s technology and asked Huaxia to be responsible. It was only then that China's grievances were washed away.

In the end, the facts also proved that the spy was planted by a Silicon Valley company, and the specific company did not disclose it.

But now that many things have changed, it is hard to say whether Weeks will stand up and tell the truth in this life.

At least judging from ASML's current performance, they are preparing to let the Gale Group bear the notoriety of stealing technology.

Meng Qian couldn't help getting up and pacing, "Even if the German Ministry of Investment has 1% of the investment, even if there is such a connection, at most it's about commercial theft. What's the matter with commercial bribery?"

"XTAL Inc has engaged in bribery. Now that they insist that we are the major shareholder, this bribery must be counted on us. Anyway, they will arrest the person first." Xiao Boshi said a little unhappy, "I didn't expect that They found such a small connection and used it as an excuse, and the biggest problem now is that once a person is arrested, he doesn’t know what he will face, so we have to do something quickly.”

"The fastest way to solve the problem right now is to get Weeks to tell the truth."

"I'm afraid, it's a bit difficult." Xiao Boshi obviously didn't place much hope in Weeks.

"What about the employees of the German branch?"

"It will affect a little bit. I'm going to go there right away to appease everyone's emotions."

Meng Qian made a quick analysis, "I'll go too."

"Farewell." Xiao Boshi blurted out, "Since you can get to this situation, it means that the other party is no longer allowed to leave any room. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go to Europe now."

"There will be a Sino-European economic dialogue in three days. I will go with the leaders. How crazy can they be?"

Xiao Boshi nodded after thinking for a while, "If you have any travel needs, I will arrange them."

Three days after returning, Meng Qian slept on the plane and went straight to the German branch after arriving in Germany.

Meng Qian personally went out to appease people, and the effect was very good. Meng Qian told everyone to believe in the company and the truth, and made a clear reply in the next interview with the local media, "This matter is completely slanderous, and we will use legal weapons to defend our the right to return justice to the world.”

After appeasing people's hearts, Meng Qian waited for his guests in a hotel.

"Mr. Meng."

"Mr. Weeks, sit down."

The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.

Weeks may be out of guilty conscience, his eyes dodge unconsciously, "Mr. Meng is looking for me today, what do you want to talk about?"

"There's no need to pretend to be confused." Meng Qian showed his strong attitude today, "Mr. Weeks, does this technology theft have anything to do with our Dafeng Group?"

"Should I ask Mr. Meng about this?" Weeks was also very angry today.

"So Mr. Weeks doesn't know the answer?"

Weeks quickly realized that Meng Qian was playing tricks and avoided the trap set by Meng Qian very well. "From what I have learned so far, this matter must have something to do with the Dafeng Group."

"What do you know? What do you know? Do you think it is necessary for our Dafeng Group to steal your daily information?"

"Maybe, it's because the thing you wanted to steal has never been stolen?" The two of them were full of gunpowder as soon as they came up.

Meng Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Weeks, "It seems that Mr. Weeks has made a choice in the past few months."

Weeks' eyes gradually turned fierce, "Mr. Meng, we believe in the law. The law judged us to be infringing. We have already paid you the money. If you are convicted of stealing by the law, Mr. Meng will also come to pay you as soon as possible." Let us explain."

"Mr. Weeks is really planning to fight Asmer out."

Weeks suddenly got a little irritable, "Mr. Meng needs to know that ASML is everything to me! It's you who didn't give me a chance!"

"I am very grateful to Mr. Weeks for being so open to communicate with me today, but I still have the same sentence, if ASML monopolizes today, will you give us Huaxia Enterprises a chance?! If you can't, why should I give Your chance?!

And in fact, I gave you a choice. As far as ASML’s research and development capabilities are concerned, as long as you are willing to embrace fairness, ASML’s future is much broader than Canon’s. Is it because I don’t give ASML a chance, or You don't give ASML a chance? "

"Mr. Meng, why should you be such a hypocrite? You clearly know that it is impossible for Asmail to enter your rules!"

"Then have you ever wondered why it's impossible for ASML to enter my rules?"

"Because." Weeks suddenly got stuck.

Meng Qian looked at him with more fierce and disgusted eyes, "I will answer for you, because you know that Asmail is in a rule without freedom! But you don't even have the courage to stand up and speak the truth !

Because you are afraid, but what you are afraid of is never the Dafeng Group, nor me, Meng Qian. You know exactly who you are afraid of in your heart!

At that time, ASML climbed step by step from an unfavorable company to the head of Nikon, but Intel blocked ASML from the so-called circle because of a rule. The grievances Mr. Weeks suffered at that time Have you forgotten all the sins?

I respect every competitor but I will never respect ASML like this! "

Meng Qian made his words clear and said, "If you want to threaten me in this way, I can tell you clearly that you don't even need to think about it, because Dafeng Group is not ASML, because I am not you!"

Meng Qian's heart attack seems to have some effect, at least from the perspective of Weeks' affection, he was greatly stimulated, but it didn't change the result.

Weeks supported himself with a belief that belonged to him, "I believe that the most just thing is the law, not the promises that Mr. Meng said."

Although Meng Qian didn't expect too much at first, he confirmed it. He raised his glass to signal, "Then, see you on the battlefield."
