Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Sometimes, history does repeat itself in surprising ways, only the same events occur with different targets.

Zhang San was holding a document that showed New Era Holdings was facing multiple charges led by the U.S. Department of Justice, including exclusive sales, dumping at low prices to manufacturers, forming a monopoly alliance, controlling a certain type of enterprise to form a de facto monopoly, and more than a dozen other anti-monopoly investigations.

"Is this something that can be resolved amicably?"

Zhang San asked a lawyer on the phone.

A somewhat helpless voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, I'm afraid that won't work. They've already got their eyes on you. We can only actively respond to the lawsuit."

"Then let's begin. If they want to fight, then let's fight."

At the same time, Wall Street immediately received the news, and NT-MS's stock price began to fall by 5% that day. Shortly afterward, it was also announced that NT-MS's holding company, New Era, was under antitrust investigation.

"Our parent company, New Era Holdings, has recently been treated unfairly, and we will actively respond to the lawsuit... hoping to receive fair treatment."

Meanwhile, New Era Holdings immediately began assembling a crisis public relations team and started working at all levels.

"Go find someone in the industry and see what's going on with this antitrust investigation we're facing, and why they're targeting us."

The core figure of the crisis public relations team began to assign tasks. In his view, this was an unexpected disaster. No one expected that New Era Holdings, which did not participate in the operation of its subsidiaries and seemed to be a purely financial investor, would be subject to an anti-monopoly investigation.

Not long after, news reached Zhang San, who was still in Asia, from North America.

"Boss, all I can say is that we're being targeted by 'conservative' people, including... they think you're getting too close to parties with differing political views, and not 'friends' them..."

Zhang San sneered and said, "Heh... to be 'friends' with them and then share my wealth with people like that? What a joke. If they want war, then let them fight. We'll contact our allies and prepare to step in together at the crucial moment, so they'll know that we're not to be trifled with either."

"Now all we can do is actively defend ourselves and let them know that we are a normal business."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang San had another thought. They were probably targeting him out of jealousy, so he could only let them shoot themselves in the foot.

Zhang San possesses a large number of patented technologies, whether he holds them directly or indirectly, and most of these companies are located in mainland China.

While New Era Holdings was under investigation, some companies in the four major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen were receiving substantial financial support from the very beginning stages of their businesses. In fact, it could be said that these funds were sponsored by these companies.

In particular, there is a company called Jingwei Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., located in Beijing. They have developed a lithography machine. The company is the fourth lithography machine company after Japan, Europe, and North America. Its technology is very close to the current global lithography machine technology.

The ARM10SE chip, jointly developed by Golden Orange Electronics and ARM, will be manufactured by Jingwei Optoelectronics...

This chip is mainly used in new mobile phones, and Golden Orange Electronics will launch a flagship product to reverse its decline in the CDMA network.

At the same time, Golden Orange Communications will invest in broadband services on the mainland, deploying network equipment in all cities.

Jingcheng V System Software Company has developed a system that is comparable to WINOS, and it will be commercialized starting next year.

The Red Light browser, developed in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences, will be launched next year and will be permanently free.

……

For some unknown reason, many companies in mainland China have begun to invest heavily in internet companies, as if overnight, mainland China has entered the internet age.

In particular, the personal computer market in mainland China is about to enter a period of explosive growth. Shenzhen-based Shenhai Computer Company will launch a product developed in mainland China. Unlike Lianxiang Computer, the new personal computer will be developed in cooperation with Beijing-based V System Software Company, and the VOS system software will be launched next year.

At the same time, it will adopt self-developed chip technology, and has purchased the latest ARM11 chip license from ARM. On this basis, it will carry out secondary development, and its speed is expected to exceed that of INT.

The suggested retail price for the entire machine is 7,000 RMB. Of course, retailers are not obligated to accept this suggestion.

However, many people see these reports as nothing more than a joke. What kind of technology companies can mainland China possibly have? Aren't they all just copycats and imitators?

Especially since Deepsea Computer Company is located in Shenzhen, where everything else is a piece of cake except for chip manufacturing.

Such a perception is, of course,... also a fact.

"Mainland China actually has its own self-developed operating system? That's laughable. Do they even have the talent for that?"

In fact, what this person said is not without reason, but it is not entirely correct.

The core of this operating system does indeed belong to Zhang San. However, those people in Beijing, based on the information provided by Zhang San, have carried out in-depth expansion and research on the underlying technology.

So the question arises: where do lithography machines actually come from?

Back then, ARM's production division was thriving, and after receiving huge financial support, it took the opportunity to acquire Eurotherm A.

Just when the company was struggling and facing difficulties, this funding arrived like a timely gift. Initially, their production equipment was not yet able to meet the demands of high-speed and high-precision chip manufacturing.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of advanced tools, Zhang San generously donated substantial funds to help them acquire promising companies, aiming to improve their overall technological capabilities.

As for these patented technologies, various methods were used to apply for patents separately, bypassing the original patents, or cross-patenting between the two parties.

These patented technologies are still held in some of the companies Zhang San registered overseas, not for any other reason than to keep the core technology in his own hands.

Zhang San's investment this time didn't actually involve much money. He can't take the money in mainland China with him for the time being. This is because mainland China doesn't have that much foreign exchange, at least not at the moment. The Asian financial crisis is still ongoing, and foreign exchange is the most precious resource right now.

Zhang San didn't want to be gossiped about in the future. Besides, he had also earned foreign exchange for the mainland under the guise of exports. This provided them with a large amount of ammunition, making their counterattack more powerful. The chips he accumulated now would allow him to gain even greater benefits.

As for how others see it, of course they see it with their own eyes. Global film studios release at least two animated films every year, which requires a lot of related merchandise.
