At this moment, Gao Mingkang's call also came in. He didn't say anything, he just said that he wanted to ask Hu Yang to play ball in the afternoon.

Hu Yang estimated that Gao Mingkang might want to talk to him about this when they meet.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Yan is here with me right now. Are you also having trouble spreading rumors and causing trouble? Let's do this. Come over at noon and let's have dinner together. We'll talk when we meet."

Hu Yang's feeling was correct, Gao Mingkang really wanted to see him for something.

Less than five minutes after hanging up the phone, Han Wen walked in from outside.

"Boss, Mr. Yan, hello."

Han Wen entered the door, still standing politely, as if he didn't dare to sit down without Hu Yang's permission.

Hu Yang was used to his behavior and was too lazy to say anything.

"Awen, I originally wanted to talk to you about something, but now there is a new situation and I need to wait. You go to the restaurant upstairs to talk to them first and let them prepare seven or eight dishes for noon, which will take about an hour.

Send me here."

Hu Yang originally planned to ask Yan Hanzhang to talk to Han Wen about the situation, but since Gao Mingkang was also coming, it was better to deal with it all at once.

Han Wen went to arrange lunch, Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang chatted about Charming Semiconductor for an hour, and Gao Mingkang finally arrived.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Gao Mingkang walked into Hu Yang's office in a hurry. He had asked the driver to drive as fast as possible, but it still took such a long time.

"Mr. Gao, let's go, let's go eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner."

Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang both stood up, and then went to the small restaurant next to the office with Gao Mingkang.

At lunch, everyone ate a little absent-mindedly.

Hu Yang, Gao Mingkang, Yan Hanzhang and Han Wen finished the meal in half an hour, and then they came to the tea room.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Yan, and Awen are here. Please tell him about the public opinion crisis encountered by Charming Electronics and Mingkang Communications..."

Hu Yang knows very well that unless the public opinion on the Internet is based on irrefutable evidence, it is based on manipulation. More people and more power sometimes represent justice, no matter whether you are a fan or a troll or something.

This aspect of things, no matter how big or small, is sometimes disgusting. Korean is a real expert in responding to violence with violence on the Internet.

Immediately, Yan Hanzhang and Gao Mingkang explained in detail the problems they encountered.

After Han Wen listened, he nodded at the two of them, then looked at Hu Yang and said:

"Boss, this is obviously a smear campaign by a competitor. If we just target public opinion, it won't be very effective. Why don't we also pull out the two companies hiding behind and beat them to death?"

"Okay, you can handle this matter, and we won't get involved. In short, we can't let the guy who caused the trouble hide behind and laugh, we have to make them feel the same way, right?"

Hu Yang smiled. Rumors, slander and malicious slander between competitors were all normal operations. Whether in memory or now, this kind of thing is not that rare.

But in the end, companies compete with each other on technology, strength, products, services, etc. It is impossible for shady tricks to become the decisive factor.

But when it comes to public opinion crises, it is not advisable to ignore them. Hu Yang has always had a sense of crisis public relations.

Han Wen responded and left the tea room first.

"Mr. Hu, I think this matter is not that simple. These two mobile phone manufacturers are both rising stars, and it is understandable that they are eager to seize the market. However, there may be other reasons for using off-market tactics so recklessly.

I asked someone to check and found that these two companies have never had any business dealings with our Mingkang Communications, and their main source of technology and parts is North America."

Gao Mingkang is not a naive person. If it is just for market share, he feels that the two rising stars do not have the guts to challenge Charming Electronics and Mingkang Communications at the same time.

But if some other factors are added, wouldn’t this jump out?

"Mr. Hu, should we also take some other measures?"

Yan Hanzhang hated these two companies deeply. He knew that his boss had many tricks, so he hoped to teach them a lesson immediately.

"Just compete normally. We don't need to put these two companies in our eyes yet. However, Mr. Gao and Mr. Yan, you still need to speed up your technology research and development. Only with absolute strength in technology will you not be afraid of these small companies.

Trick.”

Hu Yang knows very well that even though they are all in the business, some people just want to take shortcuts and don't care about core technologies and so on.

In the context of internationalization, with countries around the world dividing labor and cooperating, many people feel that there is nothing they cannot buy.

And Populus euphratica knew from the beginning that some things were just like a moon in a flower well, and would be broken at the first touch. Of course, a superpower would not allow you to climb up from the low end of the industrial chain.

Take smartphones as an example. These two so-called rising stars are nothing more than importing key components from North America and then assembling them into products.

How many core technologies do they have? I'm afraid they don't have any, or even if they do, they are insignificant.

For such a company, North America will not only not suppress you, but may even support you. It is just a consumer electronics assembly factory, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, people can kill you at any time. As soon as the key parts are out of stock, you will be finished.

The reality is so cruel. For a company like this, POI stocks naturally sit on the side controlled by others.

But Huijia companies are different. They have their own core technologies, their own industrial upgrading goals, and their own self-contained closed-loop ecology.

Therefore, companies under the Huijia family are constantly being suppressed, and of course companies under the Huijia family are constantly being discredited.

It looks like ordinary business competition, but it is actually a competition between two systems.

It's also a technical battle.

Whoever holds the core technology is a matter of life and death, at least this is how Yang Hu understands it.

The few people didn't sit in the tea room for long. The three of them each had their own work. After talking about their business, they left.

Hu Yang returned to the office and continued busy with his own affairs, not taking this matter to heart.

There is always a context for the fermentation of public opinion. As long as there is no clear evidence to point to, everyone is just talking.

Han Wen is a master in this area. It only took him a few days to defeat the opponent. After all, rumors and lies cannot withstand scrutiny. As long as the public opinion environment is not one-sided, the truth will always surface.

More than half a month later, the opponent's navy completely disappeared.

The financial crisis in North America is getting worse.

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s December at the end of the year.

Deep sea, afternoon.

Hu Yang and Gao Mingkang were sweating profusely on the tennis court.

Gao Mingkang still likes various sports, such as playing tennis, badminton and golf.

However, purely in terms of physical strength, Gao Mingkang is not as good as Populus euphratica. On the one hand, Populus euphratica is younger, on the other hand, Populus euphratica has been exercising for so many years and has never slackened off.

No, the two of them fought for about forty minutes, and Gao Mingkang signaled to Hu Yang that he wanted to take a rest. Hu Yang looked at his watch, and simply went to change clothes with Gao Mingkang and sat in the lounge to drink coffee.

"Mr. Hu, there is no doubt that this incident seems to be caused by a 'rising star' eager to grab market share. In fact, it is GT who is plotting against its domestic counterparts, which is us."

This VIP room has a simple and bright decoration style, but it makes people feel very comfortable.

Gao Mingkang buried himself deeply in the sofa, with a faint smile on his face.

"It's no wonder that North America triggered the world's financial crisis, and it is estimated that everyone's life will be difficult. GT has tasted the benefits in the domestic market, so why not quickly find a way to regain its blood.

Mr. Gao, I have a hunch. After this crisis, there may be a wave of rapid development in China. However, North America's suppression of us may intensify. The reason is very simple. Some people think that we have begun to threaten them."

Hu Yang is not very worried about the current situation. The financial crisis will definitely pass, even if many conflicts are covered up and postponed to the future.

However, sooner or later, an emerging market and the traditional market of an established power will collide violently.

This is independent of human will.

Therefore, as a representative of the domestic high-tech industry, the Huijia system will inevitably become a thorn in the side of some people and want to get rid of it quickly.

"Yes, I may not see it as clearly as you, but I understand that everything depends on ourselves. Only by continuing to invest in research and development and finding a technical path of our own can we be in a position of defeat."

What Gao Mingkang said is right or wrong. But as an entrepreneur, this is definitely the only thing that can be done.

Above, there was another level of things that he and Hu Yang could not control.

Hu Yang smiled and stopped talking at the right time.

In the evening, as usual, Hu Yang and Gao Mingkang ate out and returned home at around nine o'clock.

"Chunchun, I'm going to sleep for a while. I still have something to do at night and I need to get up."

Populus euphratica originally wanted to go to Xiangjiang, but there were always things bothering her these past few days and she couldn't leave.

Xia Bing and Chen Jialin have been staying in Europe for the past two months. Their goals have been roughly set and they have made some early contacts, but it is obvious that some conditions are not yet mature.

Yu Hongbo repeatedly reminded Hu Yang in the past two days that their early investment in US stocks was already on the eve of retreat, and the opportunity may be right in front of them.

Hu Yang also took the time to look at the trend of US stocks. He believed that Yu Hongbo's analysis should be correct.

Just after twelve o'clock at night, Populus euphratica woke up from his dream naturally.

In order not to affect Tian Sichun's rest, he deliberately slept in the guest room tonight.

Nowadays, there are not many people at home like most days. Hu Yang’s parents have returned to Yangcheng, and the whole villa is much deserted again.

Hu Yang got up and washed his face, then walked to the study room, turned on the computer and sat down.

Wu Xinhui heard the commotion and quickly brought coffee. She did not go back tonight. She took a nap before and had to stay up late with her boss.

After watching the trend of U.S. stocks for a while, Hu Yang had a feeling that the market might dive later.
