Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

9 month 11 day,

Hao Qiang sold all of his Pingguo Company shares. According to the team's estimate, this operation made a profit of about US$35 billion.

This huge amount of funds did not remain idle, but was cleverly dispersed by him and invested in various cutting-edge fields with development potential around the world.

Based on his profound insight into the future development of science and technology, his investment portfolio spans multiple emerging industries including artificial intelligence, renewable energy, medicine, and biotechnology.

I don't ask for more money, I just ask for beating future inflation.

A few days later, when the business team of Gaotong Company was visiting the United States, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a top university in the world, invited Hao Qiang to give a speech.

However, Hao Qiang politely declined: "I sincerely thank MIT for their kind invitation, but due to my busy work schedule and family considerations, I am unable to travel across the ocean for the time being."

Immediately afterwards, a well-known American media wanted to interview him, but Hao Qiang declined again.

These two pieces of news quickly fermented on social media, causing an uproar.

The Internet was immediately divided into two factions:

Critics believe Hao Qiang is "arrogant" and "conceited." One person posted on social media: "Hao Qiang doesn't even take a world-class university like MIT seriously. Isn't this too arrogant?"

"Is being the richest man in the world so great? This arrogant attitude really makes me uncomfortable."

But his supporters defended him: "He is busy working, what's wrong with that?"

"You don't have to go to the United States, so why rush?"

"This is a completely personal choice, why is it morally blackmailing?"

"Hao Qiang just politely declined. If he was arrogant, he wouldn't even want to reply!"

"If I were the richest man in the world, I'd be even richer than Hao Qiang. He has the capital, he's just that awesome."

"So what if it's MIT? Qingbei has invited Hao Qiang, but he still didn't go. It seems like he has to agree to it in order to show respect to the other party, right?"

Faced with the various public opinions, Hao Qiang remained silent and focused on the development of his EBL lithography machine.

The EBL lithography machine has been assembled and is undergoing the final step of testing.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before we can start trial production.

On September 15, the situation took a new turn.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission wants Hao Qiang to go to the U.S. for investigation, claiming that they want to understand the stock trading situation of his Pingguo Company.

Hao Qiang responded directly: "If you have any questions, you can communicate by phone or email."

The relevant person in charge of the SEC immediately said: "Mr. Hao, given the complexity of this matter, we suggest that face-to-face communication is more appropriate."

“What’s so complicated?

I understand all your questions.

"Besides, I don't hold any Pingguo shares at all." Hao Qiang responded bluntly, directly denying that he held any Pingguo shares.

"Mr. Hao, according to the information we have, you made a profit of at least $50 billion from this transaction. Considering the huge amount, we are merely routinely investigating the source of the funds."

"That's ridiculous," Hao Qiang sneered, "If you're going to make it up, why not just say $500 billion?

That sounds more impressive, doesn’t it?”

After this news was deliberately exposed by the other party, it once again sparked heated discussion.

However, the US media simply misinterpreted Hao Qiang's meaning, saying that there was a problem with the source of his funds and that he might be laundering money.

Fortunately, Hao Qiang recorded the phone call and made it public, which immediately caused an uproar.

One netizen commented: "This is a blatant double standard!

Their regulatory agencies have a different set of standards for Chinese entrepreneurs. If you invest in US stocks in the future, you must be careful. What if you can't get your money back?

Some people also said: "Mr. Hao's response is domineering, and he should be fought back like this!"

"Hao Qiang is really amazing. He can easily make billions of dollars in profits in other people's stock markets."

"That's nothing. During the financial crisis, Hao Qiang made over $10 billion in profit."

Of course, some people also worried: "Although Hao Qiang's response was straightforward, will it affect future stock market investments?"

In the face of all the chaotic discussions, Hao Qiang continued to do his own thing. After sending the recording, he continued to focus on his scientific research project.

9 month 17 day,

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission suddenly issued a stern notice, accusing Hao Qiang of suspected illegal manipulation of the stock market and requiring him to go to the U.S. for investigation.

The notice contained a clear threat, claiming that if Hao Qiang continued to refuse to cooperate, the SEC would propose to the US government a series of punitive measures against Future Technology Group, including but not limited to sanctions on imported equipment and the imposition of punitive tariffs.

For example, for new energy vehicles, the import tariff will be increased to 35%.

This aggressive announcement immediately caused an uproar around the world as soon as it was released.

Major mainstream media outlets followed up on the story, and related topics quickly topped the trending searches on social media.

The domestic public reacted strongly to this, and generally believed that this was another unreasonable suppression of Chinese technology companies by the United States.

Before, they only asked Hao Qiang to go to other countries to communicate in a more tactful way.

As a result, after Hao Qiang refused to go, his true colors were exposed.

Official media such as Renren Jingbao published commentary articles one after another.

Among them, Renren Jingbao published an editorial titled "Hegemonism Will Eventually Backfire," which pointed out: "The naked bullying behavior of the US has exposed its true intention to suppress my country's high-tech enterprises.

This practice of using state machinery to exert pressure not only violates the market principle of fair competition, but also undermines the fairness of the international economic order."

The editorial further emphasized: "In today's era of economic globalization, no country can remain immune.

The US's reckless behavior of relying on its hegemonic status will ultimately damage its own credibility and international image.

We urge the US to abandon its zero-sum mentality and return to the right track of rational dialogue."

At the same time, people from all walks of life in China have voiced their support for Hao Qiang and Future Technology Group.

Many well-known economists and legal experts pointed out in interviews that the US accusations lack specific factual basis, and this "false accusation" investigation request is essentially a disguised form of commercial suppression.

Netizens' anger continued to ferment on social media and in the comment sections of reports.

One netizen commented: "Isn't this just because they can't stand seeing Chinese companies grow bigger and stronger?"

Some netizens also expressed: "Support Mr. Hao, and never give in!"

More netizens called out: "We were just playing it safe before, now this is the real intention, we must speed up the research and development of core technologies and get rid of the situation of being controlled by others!

I also hope the country will increase investment in chips. Currently, Future Technology Group has no chips available. "

"Future Technology Group is in real trouble this time. As a company, it not only has to fight against competition from its peers, but also has to fight against a wild beast."

Faced with this sudden turmoil, the domestic industrial sector has also demonstrated unprecedented solidarity.

Many leaders of technology companies have publicly expressed their support for Future Technology Group, believing that this is an important moment for the development of the country's science and technology industry and that they must not back down in the face of external pressure.

The development of this event has also made more people realize the importance of independent innovation in science and technology.

Of course, this wave of public opinion condemning the hegemony of other countries is not entirely harmonious.

Some netizens expressed gloating sarcasm and thought that Hao Qiang was too young and not tactful enough.

"Hmph, with this little talent, you still think you can challenge the US?" one netizen commented sarcastically. "With so much money, why don't you bribe the officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission? You're so naive!"

Others quipped, "You should just learn from others and spend some money to smooth things over. Is it really necessary to end up in such a mess?"

Behind these cynicisms lies some people's superficial understanding of the complex international business environment.

They don't realize that in this high-stakes, high-confrontation international game, money cannot solve all problems.

On that day, Hao Qiang received caring calls from all sides.

Senior leaders of the Shenzhen Municipal Government expressed their sincere support, saying, "Mr. Hao, if you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to communicate with us.

We will fully support Future Technology Group, of course, on the premise that it is legal and compliant."

Hao Qiang responded calmly: "Thank you very much for your concern.

No special help is needed at the moment, let's wait and see how things develop.

In fact, I had anticipated this day a long time ago.”

Government leaders praised his political acumen: "You have a high awareness of political risks."

Hao Qiang smiled slightly and expressed his profound understanding of international games: "If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.

In games involving major interests, especially when those interests reach a certain level, other countries will always choose to intervene. This is their consistent style."

These words reveal the cruel nature of international business competition.

Hao Qiang has seen too many news like this. For example, a certain car company was subject to a tariff increase of 33%, while BYD was only subject to 15%, and a certain domestic car was subject to 17%.

Tariffs vary from car manufacturer to car manufacturer.

When you can't beat someone, you call on adults to help you. That's pretty shameless.

The Pengcheng government chatted with Hao Qiang for a while and felt relieved after hearing what Hao Qiang said.

In this seemingly sudden "encirclement and suppression", Hao Qiang's calmness and wisdom, as well as his concern for the global situation, attracted the attention of government leaders.

He was not a passive target, but had already laid out his own chess game in this game field.

Knowing that you are strong is no longer just a competition between companies.

That night, Hao Qiang returned to his warm home to spend time with his children.

Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing were sitting on the leather sofa in the living room, browsing the relevant reports from major media with slightly worried expressions, and discussing from time to time.

Seeing Hao Qiang having so much fun playing with the children, he seemed unaffected.

"Hey, don't worry." Hao Qiang comforted him softly, "This is all within my expectations.

Remember why I kept emphasizing not to go abroad?

It’s because I saw this day coming.”

He went on to explain: “The government has clearly expressed its support for us.

As an important domestic high-tech enterprise, Future Technology Group is related to national strategic security, and the government will not sit idly by.

As long as we stay within the boundaries and abide by the law, there will naturally be someone to cover our backs for many things.”

Noticing Han Qingying's worried look, Hao Qiang spoke softly, "Especially you, you're pregnant now, don't worry about these things. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."

After hearing Hao Qiang's confident analysis, Han Qingying's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and smiled knowingly: "We were overthinking it. We were a little nervous about all those media reports."

At this time, Han Qingying was more than three months pregnant. As the fetus grew, her abdomen began to show a graceful curve.

While taking a walk after dinner, she would subconsciously touch her gradually bulging belly from time to time, with a look of happiness on her face.

I estimate that in another month or two, her pregnancy will be as obvious as when Sister Qiu was pregnant.

Some time ago, her mother-in-law came all the way from her hometown to take care of her, carefully prepared nutritious meals for her, and taught her a lot of experience in pregnancy care before she returned to her hometown with peace of mind.

At night,

Hao Qiang hugged his two wives, and the warm atmosphere dispelled the gloom of the day.

Outside the window, the autumn evening breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. The family is happy and enjoying this rare quiet time.

His mind is now entirely focused on scientific research, but as a young man, he is full of energy.

Han Qingying is pregnant now, so Hao Qiang has to find Qiu Yuqing to solve the problem.

Two days later,

The US government has indeed imposed sanctions on Future Technology Group for importing equipment and imposed punitive tariffs.

Hao Qiang looked calm after seeing the notice.

However, there is a heated discussion outside.

the next day,

At 10 a.m. on September 20, Future Technology Group’s large training classroom in Pengcheng, which is also the venue for its usual car launches, will hold a press conference today.

Dozens of domestic and foreign media gathered together, and flash cameras flashed one after another.

Hao Qiang, wearing a dark blue custom-made suit, walked into the venue with a calm expression.

His appearance immediately caused a commotion, and reporters pointed their cameras at the podium.

"It's been a long time since I held a press conference," Hao Qiang said in a surprising opening statement, "To be honest, I really don't want to stand here and speak.

But I have to say it, lest the outside world say I, Hao Qiang, am too weak.”

He looked around the room, his eyes piercing: “Today I mainly want to explain to everyone what has happened recently.

To be honest, this is exactly what I expected.”

When Hao Qiang began to analyze his recent experiences, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn.

He bluntly explained the suppression strategies of some countries against Future Technology Group: "When our technological research and development reaches a level that threatens others, their reactions are almost like following a fixed script."

“First they tried to acquire the company, and when that was rejected, they started making all kinds of threats.

Now, they're trying to get me to leave the country under the pretext of 'cooperating with the investigation.'" Hao Qiang sneered, "But they've miscalculated."

Reporters held their breath, afraid of missing any details.

Today’s news is shocking!

"I'm very clear," Hao Qiang's voice became more and more firm, "Once we set foot on their land, the so-called 'investigation' will inevitably become a one-sided 'cooperation'.

Not cooperating?

Then I might never come back.”

He suddenly changed the subject and declared forcefully, "So I solemnly declare here: unless absolutely necessary, my family and I will never set foot outside the country in this lifetime.

I was born in this land, here are my roots and my soul!

I want to die in my country!"

The journalists in the audience were shocked that Hao Qiang would say such a thing.

If you really go abroad, can you not come back?

No way?

He scanned the audience, "More importantly, I want to take this opportunity to remind the Chinese people: If a country is not strong enough, it will always be manipulated by others.

this is the truth!

What we are experiencing today at Future Technology Group is a mirror that reflects the cruel nature of international competition."

Hao Qiang's heartfelt words immediately surprised the media reporters on the scene.

You really dare to say that!

Facts are facts, but Hao Qiang, the richest man in the world, is not afraid of others causing trouble.

After Hao Qiang finished speaking, it was the turn of the interview and media reporters raised their hands to ask questions.

As soon as the press conference ended, many media outlets reported on it, immediately causing a sensation across the entire Internet.

The reading volume of related topics on major social media platforms quickly exceeded 100 million, and netizens forwarded and commented on them.

Some people praised him as a "spiritual entrepreneur".

Reports indicate that faced with external pressure, Chinese entrepreneurs are no longer timid but are brave enough to take action.

YTV News also reported on the press conference in detail, and News LB even took a rare 3-minute report.

All this shows that Hao Qiang's voice has received official support and recognition.

That evening, many well-known entrepreneurs expressed their support for Hao Qiang on social media, saying his words spoke to the common aspirations of domestic companies as they go global. Suddenly, an unprecedented consensus emerged across the country:

There is still a long way to go in terms of scientific and technological innovation;

It is imperative for the country to be strong.
