Capítulo 874: Chapter 305: Joyful and Sorrowful (Part 2)
Qiao Yu spoke bluntly.
“Okay, so that ans you have no objections. Keke, co talk to in the room after dinner,” Qiao Xi said domineeringly.
“Oh, okay, mom,” Xia Keke replied softly.
Then Qiao Xi turned to Qiao Yu with a stream of complaints: “Look at her, when will you ever be as well-behaved as Keke?”
Ha…
Won!
But rembering how he had taught Xia Keke the little trick of acting obedient in front of elders when they were kids, Qiao Yu felt relieved, even a bit gratified.
After all, it was a technique he taught her, a way of pretending to be obedient in front of adults from a young age, adhering to one’s original intent.
In contrast, after achieving success, he began to drift away, disdaining to act anymore. In truth, this was wrong, and Qiao Yu felt he should reflect on this.
“I have a suggestion. If you have decided to get married, why not arrange it sooner? While those big foreign capitalists are still around.
I need to give them a chance to attend my wedding banquet, let them rush to give a gift, and these folks should even thank ! It’s a win-win situation!”
Just as Qiao Yu finished speaking, Qiao Xi glared at him and pointed towards the door: “Get out!”
Seeing Xia Keke snickering, Qiao Yu rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Karma strikes quickly; yesterday he seed to have spoken to the CEO of Intel just like this, directly telling him to GET OUT…
The world changes so fast!
…
At the Rong Garden Hotel, Chris Malaki and David Hopkins wore expressions of deep concern.
Brad Smith’s betrayal did indeed anger them greatly, but the anger had passed.
What infuriated them the most was not Brad Smith’s betrayal, but the response from the people of West University, which was entirely different from their expectations.
Very few were angrily condemning the White House and Brad Smith’s actions; rather, the hottest topic in West University was whether East and West University could unite to make West University glorious for another fifty years!
These people are simply too foolish!
Looking at history, no great nation has had a good ending relying on appeasent policies, and yet countless people are supporting reconciliation with East University?!
Initially, they were truly outraged.
There was nothing they could do; any policy shift requires soone to pay the price, and this ti, without a doubt, that price was them!
But anger was useless. Last night, they weren’t sitting idly by but rather activated many connections and communicated with many friendly dia people, hoping they would speak out and wake these foolish people up.
However, the replies they received were even more disappointing.
The dia people friendly to them privately told them that after receiving news from the White House, they had already conducted a survey.
The results showed that when people learned that the White House intended to introduce Huaxia’s infrastructure capabilities, the support rate for that idiot significantly rose and aligned with the online statents, leaving them unable to muster any anger.
For the elite class on high, public opinion usually doesn’t matter much. But at certain very special junctures, it becos unprecedentedly important.
Without a doubt, this is one such extrely special juncture. If more people could realize this was a wrong decision and oppose and protest against the people in the White House,
trendous pressure will ultimately be enforced at every level, turning these acts of surrender into an abstract joke.
But the current situation is that a group online is debating which state should first let Huaxia’s infrastructure in.
This is good for the state governnt as well since they also need votes. Especially when the upper echelons’ actions are recognized by the voters, if the state governnt dares not support it, even the state’s propaganda might not stand with them.
This is the backlash of happy education combined with a democratic system.
Chris Malaki and David Hopkins, as discerning individuals, truly feel the invasion brought by Huaxia culture is absolutely devastating.
They can’t understand how the group in the White House has the guts to completely open the market to a country with fifty-six ethnic groups.
In this country, where even a random netizen can talk eloquently about international affairs, directly engaging with citizens who grew up with happy education—how are they not afraid that these people’s thoughts will be directly polluted?
Do those people not realize that this spark of thought is the most terrifying? Once the tide starts spreading, affecting people’s thoughts from various aspects, even seeping into the minds of lower-level officers, things can escalate big ti.
Focusing only on the present, ignoring the future…
In the hotel room, the two had cursed the people in the White House and Brad Smith a thousand tis. But unfortunately, curses can’t affect them in the slightest, while those online with the sa clear understanding as them were being harshly criticized!
Those who should be nailed to the pillar of historical sha are instead understood, supported, even admired…
If they dare to speak out now, they will likely be accused of all sorts of cris.
With justice in their hearts, the absurdity brought by the invasion of “The clown is ” mindset is enough to drive the two to despair.
“What does your board say?” Chris Malaki asked sullenly.
David Hopkins remained silent.
The board eting was already in chaos, with no consensus. However, David Hopkins can foresee that when the news spreads that negotiations with the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance have broken down, Intel’s stock will likely crash.
No choice, Microsoft has already invested.
The Intel-Microsoft alliance’s classic electronic computer developnt model being negated will certainly bring extrely pessimistic sentints to the market.
Adding to that, with the quantum simulation computer eyeing the market greedily, and Microsoft fully supporting the new computer products, they will surely cooperate with the publicity.
What happens when it reaches the capital markets—every shareholder can even guess with their backsides.
Major shareholders are already arguing while quickly reducing their holdings of Intel stocks.
He knew all this well because, as CEO, he had already begun to sell off his limited unrestricted stock holdings. But now finding buyers is foreseeably difficult.
David Hopkins believes this is a difficulty not only he faces but also faced by many related upstream and downstream companies.
This includes the mainboard packaging companies, chip companies, and graphics card companies.
Although everyone knows this is a blaless defeat, the responsibility for Intel’s ensuing decline will surely land on him.
So he didn’t really want to talk.
But thinking of Chris as one of the few friends currently remaining in Huaxia with whom he can commiserate, he suppressed his irritability and replied with a question: “How about you guys?”
“I might have to go back; Mr. Huang plans to co over personally,” Chris Malaki replied with a serious expression.
David Hopkins opened his mouth but said nothing.
This is NVIDIA attempting self-rescue.
After all, Old Huang has visited Huaxia several tis and still maintains so connections in Huaxia, perhaps soone could have influence.
In fact, NVIDIA’s situation is better than Intel’s.
After all, unlike Intel, NVIDIA does not have as much heavy asset investnt in factories.
This Fabless model allows NVIDIA to focus mainly on R&D.
If negotiations with Huaxia could comnce, they might be able to participate in the work of quantum simulation computing displays in the future.
There might even be a share of the profits.
Intel’s IDM model can’t exactly be called bad. At least its self-sufficiency ability is stronger, allowing it to maintain leadership in multiple fields if it can continue.
But in the current situation, it is incredibly detrintal. This is also why the board cannot reach a consensus.
Even if they want to surrender now and get a slice in the quantum simulation computing era, it requires abandoning their heavy asset investnts in chip factories and updating equipnt anew.
If the IDM model is abandoned, to put it blatantly, why would anyone design chips independently if they could make money without Intel?
