At the conference table, committee chairman Reese sat upright, looking at each representative. There was no expression on everyone's face. Some people communicated with each other with their eyes, as if they had already made a decision in their hearts.
Reese said: "Before the voting begins, we will first announce the preliminary approval opinions. If you have different opinions, you can put forward them."
"Huaxia Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has applied to cooperate with my country's three telecommunications operating companies, AT&T, VERIAZON, and SPRIEL, on smart products..."
"After serious investigation, the chip data of Hongxin smart products is unknown and cannot prove whether there are security vulnerabilities. According to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Information Security, such suspicious information technology products should be strictly controlled. Therefore, we initially believe that AT&T, VERIAZON and SPRIEL should comply with the joint requirements of the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Department of Information Security and stop all cooperation with Huaxia Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.!”
"Do you have any doubts about this?"
After Reese asked, no one in the room spoke. Each of them is a representative of a certain interest group. Unfortunately, they all believe that the Red Letter Group will harm their interests, and of course they will not speak for them.
Tyler Walker was wearing a suit with a serious look on his face, as if he was a representative of impartiality. He said righteously: "I fully support the committee's decision. According to the investigation, there may be a secret agreement between Red Letter Group and Chinese officials. , endangering our country’s information security, so this ban must be strictly enforced!”
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded. Then the vote began, and not surprisingly, the ban was unanimously approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
Officials from the Ministry of Information Security expressed satisfaction: "We are very supportive of such a wise decision and thank you for your contribution to maintaining national information security."
Subsequently, the US Federal Communications Commission officially announced the news.
Countless companies and capitalists are paying attention to Hongxin's strategic plan to enter the US market, and even the economic departments of some countries.
This news stirred up waves, some were happy and some were angry.
AT&T, Gru received the news before the news broke.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "This Lu Yan really didn't compromise. Now that the ban is out, Hongxin may not be able to enter the US market within a few years."
"We have no losses." In the office, another vice president said, "If Hongxin becomes bigger in the communications industry, it will be a threat to the entire U.S. communications and smart product market. Such a decision is wise."
"What a pity." Gru said with a smile, "Apple has already been defeated twice by them. Apple must have spent a lot of effort to stop them in this meeting."
He was right, and at this point, Apple's board members breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike other companies, Apple does not have so-called individual shareholders, but is collectively held by major capital groups. There are more than 2,000 institutions that own a certain amount of Apple shares.
Therefore, fluctuations in Apple's stock price will affect financial markets around the world.
Previous failures in the Chinese market and the Japanese market have caused Apple to lose a lot of direct and indirect profits. This time Hongxin wants to enter the US market, and they have worked hard to stop it.
The ban on red letters was implemented so quickly, which is also the result of the joint efforts of major interest groups. In addition to the interest groups behind Apple, other smart product companies and related interest groups in the communications industry have also added fuel to the fire.
This ban did not cause any waves in the American media, and was not even reported by a few media outlets. The American people are very unfamiliar with red letters. Even if a small number of people know about it, it will not change the general trend and naturally they will not care about this issue.
However, at home, it caused an uproar.
The news headline of the day was this one.
“Hongxin Group suffered unfair treatment in the United States and was banned from cooperating with telecom operators!”
New Wolf News: “Hongxin’s U.S. market plan has been thwarted. After Huawei, it has become the second brand banned by the United States!”
Penguin News: “Relevant US departments announced that Hongxin smart products are prohibited from cooperating with US operators!”
UC News: "Hongxin has been banned from sale? What happened?"
…
Many media outlets reported on the incident, and netizens were filled with indignation after seeing the content of the news and started to fight against the injustice.
"How shameless! They actually banned Red Letter from cooperating with telecom operators. So Red Letter phones can't be sold in the United States? Why can American phones be sold in our country, but our phones can't be sold in theirs?"
"What kind of spam committee is this? Do you suspect that Red Letter has information security vulnerabilities? Are you going to come up with evidence? Are you making a decision based on mere suspicion? Haha!"
"Hey, I've expected it. Hongxin's products are so powerful, even better than Apple, that Americans don't dare to let them enter the market."
"What's the use of talking here? Americans don't care about you at all!"
"I am an American student studying in China. Hongxin mobile phone is so easy to use, why don't they let me sell it? Are they all crazy?"
…
The news media also made a detailed analysis of this matter: "The ban on Hongxin in the United States is by no means accidental, but inevitable. As a result, Hongxin Group's entry into the North American market will be far away, and their global expansion plan will be frustrated. .
The North American market is the world's largest smart product market. As long as Hongxin cannot enter the North American market and grab market share, it will be difficult to become a world-class technology company.
How Hongxin will respond to this matter depends on Hongxin's next move. Here, the editor makes a bold prediction. In all likelihood, Redxin will temporarily abandon the US market and shift its development direction to the European market. "
The ban has a great impact. Chinese diplomats even pointed out in their speeches that they strongly condemned the unfair judgments made by the United States against some Chinese companies, which will affect the economic exchanges between the two countries.
You know, if Red Letter can succeed in the U.S. market, it will attract a large amount of U.S. funds to China and contribute to the Chinese economy.
However, the relevant US departments simply responded and still would not make any changes to the judgment.
This matter is almost a certainty.
Everyone in the Hongxin Group is discussing this matter. This is the first time Hongxin has encountered such a big resistance since its market expansion.
Hongxin's smart products can be said to be the backbone of the entire group. With smart products as a carrier, other games, software, batteries and other products can also be sold to the US market at the same time. Now that the US market has closed the door, all plans have come to nothing. .
