Chapter 292: Xing Hai Technologies Made A Compromise?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xing Hai Technologies spread the word that they planned to recruit bootlickers. What did the governnt think if this plan? Would they express their approval or opposition? The Little Star learning machine, the Virtual Factory, the Work Assistant. These 3 products by Xing Hai Technologies provided an unprecedented level of aid and improvent to a country’s education and industry, as well as various sectors and occupations. It could even be described as an evolution akin to the Industrial Revolution! There was no country or region that could bear the cost of lagging behind in this revolution.
On the contrary, countries that embraced this technological revolution early would undoubtedly gain great advantages. They would achieve rapid take-offs in their industries and quickly kick their competitors to the curb. From a common sense point of view, these technologies or products should be strictly forbidden from export to foreign countries. This was to avoid others catching up to their outstanding standard. This was human nature.
However, the governnt did not have specific legislation to restrict Xing Hai Technologies from exporting or licensing their copyrights to others when it ca to advanced technologies that were at the level of “strategic weapons.” No short-term or long-term bans had ever been issued either. Even if Xing Hai Technologies were to actively ask the governnt to enact relevant laws to help limit exports.
There was no clear answer from the higher-ups. It seed that they did not want to offend the Western power. The strong pressure exerted by rica could only be borne by Xing Hai Technologies itself.
Now, Xinghai Technologies changed its mind and intended to expand into overseas markets and recruit two bootlickers. The governnt naturally had no reason to object and could only express its support. If the state opposed his plan, it would introduce relevant bans or laws, and the burden would be borne by the state. The pressure on Xing Hai Technologies would be reduced. It was exactly what Chen Jin wanted but failed to attain.
Then again, did the governnt dare to bear this burden? They would be a target faced with countless violent attacks! Besides Chen Jin, who was so headstrong and stubborn, who dared to step into this position?
Therefore, Xing Hai Technologies t no resistance when they notified the governnt higher-ups that they intended to recruit two bootlickers. In the past few years, Z country took up the banner of free trade. Not only did they welco all foreign companies to enter Z country and invest, but they also supported dostic companies to go global.
...
A few days later, on the 1st of July, 20X2, an announcent was issued in succession on Xing Hai Technologies’ official website, Weibo, WeChat, and other platforms. It was titled, “Announcent on the Developnt of Xing Hai Technologies’ Globalization Strategy.”
The main content was as followed:
“After a long period of careful consideration, our senior managent realized that Xing Hai Technologies’ existing business developnt strategy that was based on ‘a complete footing in the dostic market’ is indeed sowhat conservative and narrow. This has caused many custors who followed Xing Hai Technologies closely to express their regrets and disappointnt. Here, we want to apologize to these custors. We also apologize for our stubbornness and ignorance. We’ve clearly recognized our mistakes. In this world, everyone should be equal, regardless of the country they ca from, their ethnicity, or their skin color. We live on the sa planet and our destinies are connected. We cannot only be concerned for ourselves and ignore the developnt and appeals of others. We cannot turn a blind eye to the current situation of poverty, low education levels, and outdated production in other countries. This is a very selfish approach and we should be ashad. We will correct this mistake in ti and be a company with ideals and a sense of responsibility. As a company who is currently in the pursuit of these ideals, we will serve the world’s humanity. Therefore, we decided to reform and start over again in the nick of ti. Not only will we serve the 1.4 billion Z citizens, but we’ll also provide quality services to 7.5 billion people. We’ll change the fate of more people and make this planet an even better place. We plan to co up with two places. This will be our first step to embrace the global market! In addition to ordinary robot products, the Star Cloud operating system and the Xing Hai computer, our Little Star intelligent learning machine, virtual factory, work assistant, and other core products are included in the range for global distribution. However, in terms of specific cooperation, we hope to find the most trustworthy partners, so that both parties can be at ease. We hope to have a sincere and long-term collaboration. Hence, we have the following requirents for our potential partners. First of all, we will not collaborate with countries that are fiercely imposing sanctions on Xing Hai Technologies and isolating us. Secondly, in order to take into account the ‘level of reception’ by the overseas users for the core products that we will be distributing overseas, the services and technologies that we provide will generally be within the users’ scope of understanding. For example, the knowledge tree in the Little Star learning machine will be made to the level of the Z country’s high school standard cut off. So of the knowledge that is too advanced will be eliminated to avoid situations where students are unable to learn the knowledge. Considering the expensive price of supercomputers, we have launched a ‘virtual factory’ that can run on computers with more than 500 trillion Flops of computing power. This will reduce the usage cost for the custor. The degree of simulation will still be sufficient for most industrial design scenarios. As for the Work Assistant, we are only introducing the ‘Programming Assistant’ that is suitable for programrs. This will increase the efficiency of software engineers by five to ten tis. In the future, greater variety and number of jobs will be created from the use of this software. In addition, considering the security and stability of the data, all the cloud data and servers of the products will be located in Z country... but the impact on the users is small and the data provided will also be more comprehensive. Also, in order to provide a better experience, our Little Star learning machine, Work Assistant, and other products are not too ‘safe’ in so special circumstances as we will collect usage data. There is about a 1 in 10,000 chance that the product will infringe on the user’s ‘privacy’... it can be considered a product that infringes on privacy. As this is our first attempt to enter the overseas markets, we hope that the countries or institutions that are interested in collaboration will take the initiative to contact us and apply for collaboration. We are not too good at interacting with foreign custors. Finally, from the date that this report has been made, we are willing to wait for a month for partners who are interested in collaboration. If there are no applicants for the 2 positions of collaborators a month later, on the 1st, Xing Hai Technologies’ globalization strategy would have failed. The senior managent of our company will close themselves off for three years to reflect on the lessons learned. We may launch a new globalization strategy three years later. We are a company that is good at reflection. We are willing to take the ti to sum up and learn from our lessons. Our unchanging aim has always been this: ‘transform yourself before transforming the world.’”

Very quickly, after this announcent was made by Xing Hai Technologies, public opinions were all astir. So dostic dia and internet celebrities quickly comnted. They could not wait to express their welco.
“Xing Hai Technologies has made a positive change, breaking the original thought pattern of the small farrs.”
“This is change with a positive aning.”
“Xing Hai Technologies is working hard towards becoming a noble company.”
“Science has no borders, the world can only beco better when core technologies are shared.”
However, the dia did not notice the thousands of comnts posted by netizens after they carefully read the announcent that was more than a thousand words long. Under the original announcent by Xing Hai Technologies, the comnts posted by the netizens amounted to one word repeated over and over.
“Hush!”
“Hush!”
“Hush!”
Netizens were ‘hushing’ all across the board.
But those dia and internet celebrities were so excited that they imdiately told this “good news” to their backers the first chance they had.
“What? Xing Hai Technologies has compromised?!” After getting this news, Michael, the ambassador of rica stationed in Z country, was ecstatic. He stomped his feet in joy. “They’ve really surrendered and agreed to hand over their core technology? Good, good! I knew that there’s no company that can survive three days of sanctions by rica! I have to report this good news to the President!” He picked up the phone and reported the good news to rica with lightning speed.
