They chatted for a while.
Ge Feng went to entertain other guests.
Tang Qing and Chai Ren kept to themselves in the corner, drinking wine. They knew only a few people in the United States and weren’t interested in mingling. Mu Jian had many acquaintances, but they were often seen.
Sometimes at a banquet.
You might meet a whole group of elders.
And Tang Qing and Chai Ren.
Rarely came to the United States once a year.
Next time they came, they didn’t know when it would be, so he always accompanied Tang Qing, and Liu Zhi did too. The ladies were all very familiar with each other; there was no need for too much coddling.
At this moment.
Tang Qing and the others were discussing the issue of the "Era" going public in the United States.
"Tang Qing, do you want me to find a powerful lobbying firm to hurry things along?" Mu Jian suggested. Lobbying firms could also be called open bribery firms. If the procedures didn’t go through, even Tang Qing giving them his mobile phone would be useless.
"No need, I’ve already sent someone to handle it," Tang Qing slightly shook his head.
Chai Ren chuckled, "That’s what I thought. How could Tang Qing be unprepared? I just hope those communication giants don’t act crazily and screw this up. Although we’re not afraid, it’s annoying."
"There will definitely be someone who jumps out to create hot topics; it’s just a matter of if they’ll succeed or not," Mu Jian shook his head.
Politicians.
Scholars.
What they wanted most was attention.
Many times.
Even without the push of interests behind them, they would still take a stand on sensitive issues to attract attention. These ’monsters’ are the most disgusting because their job is to disgust people.
These folks often made highly controversial statements. Just in the past few days, Mu Jian saw several waves of people coming out against ’Era’ entering the US market.
The reason was simple.
--- Information security.
However.
What was a bit funny was.
When those politicians and professors claimed that the ’Era’ operating system was unsafe and personal information could be stolen, the next day, they were collectively sued by ERV’s legal team.
The reason was simple.
The ’Era’ used ERV’s Sirius System. To say the system was unsafe was to say that Sirius was unsafe, and that was something they couldn’t just ignore. Additionally, those individuals were sued by ERV for two hundred million dollars.
Because ERV’s market value dropped by two hundred million dollars that day.
ERV insisted that their comments caused it, and with such an absurd accusation, they were shocked. Facing ERV’s powerful legal team, they quickly contacted their own lawyers, and the results they got left them helpless.
The loss in market value wasn’t their responsibility to compensate.
But...
Unless they could prove that the Sirius System was unsafe, ERV could also sue them for defamation, and if the situation escalated, ERV’s stock price could plummet, and ERV could find any project to trap them in.
American law.
Sometimes.
The interpretation rights were in the hands of the wealthy.
ERV at this moment.
Belonged to the class of the wealthy; that insane market value and the wealth of ERV’s chairman, comparable to the sum of the second to ninth place on the Rich List, made him a true wolf.
This event caused a lot of people to laugh.
Many people also understood that the ’Era’ system couldn’t be attacked; it used the original ERV system, and even for their own sake, ERV would suppress anyone accusing the ’Era’ system of being unsafe.
Alright.
So, don’t attack the system.
Let’s attack the hardware.
Chip?
Qualcomm’s, it’s our American company’s, untouchable, and untouchable because Qualcomm wouldn’t just watch.
Storage? Samsung’s, also American-owned, big business, untouchable.
Screen? Sony’s... also nothing to attack.
Then... many people found that there seemed to be no parts related to information security that could be attacked; the ’Era’, apart from the casing and some plastic parts with no technical content, had no smart components.
All were from various allied companies.
Damn.
That was confusing.
Many people were complaining.
’Wishing iron could turn into steel’.
If you, Tang Qing, want to innovate, why not fully innovate? For example, design your own chip, create your own operating system. Any of these standpoints from Qingyuan Technology would make the attackers indisputable.
But damn it, they are all produced by allied companies.
Qingyuan Technology seemed like an assembly plant, with no substantial evidence for a valid claim.
That was frustrating.
Because he understood this point.
Mu Jian thought that Tang Qing was clever.
He threw off almost every contradiction, and others, for their own interests, would also support Tang’s ’Era’. This maneuver had Mu Jian silently giving a big thumbs up.
Smooth move.
"Tang Qing, for the next smartphone, are you planning to continue using ERV’s system?" Mu Jian asked. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Why wouldn’t I?" Tang Qing smiled.
Using their own system.
It would also reduce many legal issues.
Why not use it? But the second generation ’Era’ will definitely not use the original system. It will be a deeply customized version based on Sirius, yes, leave the custom version to ERV.
This way.
Anyone questioning the security of the communication system would face suppression from ERV, and it wouldn’t raise suspicions. The same went for chips. With a big tree to shelter under, why bother holding an umbrella outside the shade?
Foolish.
Of course.
There were still drawbacks; domestically, people would definitely say that Qingyuan Technology was unpatriotic and stuff like that. No problem, the domestic version would use Qingyuan Technology’s system and chip, and the international version would use the Sirius System and Xiao Long.
No conflicts.
Fighting.
Why trouble himself?
He had so many fighters to handle it for him.
"Mr. Tang Qing, hello." As they were chatting, a Western woman with large eyes and long golden hair cascading down her back, with a few curls framing her prominent chest, came over.
"Who are you..."
Seeing this woman, Tang Qing narrowed his eyes.
"I’m Anastasia, one of your admirers," Anastasia said with a charming smile. Unfortunately, that face, liked by most men, in Tang Qing’s eyes, was like a cold blade.
CIA agent.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
"Really?" Tang Qing looked at her deeply.
"I’m quite familiar," Anastasia said with a smile, "What are you talking about? May I join?"
"No," Tang Qing shook his head.
Anastasia’s expression slightly changed, and she handed over a business card.
"It seems I’m interrupting. I work for the US Communication Security Council. I really like your ’Era’ Smartphone; it has performed excellently in all tests. If you have time, we should talk."
"Sure, feel free." Tang Qing took the business card and gestured for her to proceed.
This scene.
Left Anastasia stunned.
This Tang Qing was too indifferent. A beautiful woman herself, and working in a role relevant to Tang Qing’s career, at the very least he should have a better attitude. This was not the proper way a healthy person should treat a guest.
Since it was the first meeting.
Anastasia did not think in the direction of her identity being guessed.
"Sorry for the disturbance, I think we will have a chance to meet again." After saying that, she walked away swaying her hips.
