    A provocation. A tit for tat provocation. It was no longer done in the subtle way of the East, but a direct hit to their image and ego. Not only was good old Merica unustomed to this, but they also found itpletely uneptable. Hence, retaliation arrived the next day.


    Istion! Aplete and thorough istion policy against Z country. Anypany that coborated or had business contacts with Xing Hai Technologies and their rted businesses would all be blocked. All copyrights of western techpanies would never be authorized to Xing Hai Technologies. The overseas assets of all employees from Xing Hai Technologies were frozen... Etc., etc.


    However, unexpectedly, the global bounty for the arrest of the founder, upper management of Xing Hai Technologies, and their rtives were never announced.


    “If you could ce a bounty on my people, I could also ce a bounty on your people! And the bounty reward would be ten times more! Your family would also be on the wanted list. Say, would you dare to issue this wanted list?” Alice sent out this blunt warning message.


    Then, he thought about the burst of rage from the CIA. The other party thought about this and his angerpletely disappeared. However, he still had no idea why the sanctions did not work. Was the istion tactics against Xing Hai Technologies even effective? It was indeed true that Xing Hai Technologies needed many patents that were copyrighted by Western techpanies.


    For example, the ARM architecture was needed to manufacture mobile CPUs. At present, Xing Hai Technologies was still using this architecture for the sake of better softwarepatibility. However, for Xing Hai Technologies, the impact was minimal. Xing Hai Technologies could make a mobile CPU based on the “Weaver Architecture.” Its performance would be on par with CPUs made with the ARM architecture.


    The Star Cloud operating system needed to be slightly adjusted. Alternatively, they could use the mobile version of the “Xuanyuan OS.” The user would find it equally smooth and easy to use. As for the software ecosystem, they could use the conversion function of the “Work Assistant” to quickly resolve systempatibility issues.


    In addition to the ARM architecture, for some patent barriers that simply could not be circumvented, Xing Hai Technologies could only go into the production of counterfeits in ordance to the special protection use of the Patent Law. If you were alive and you want to continue living, there was no way that you would not grab any means of survival avable. Moreover, the core technologies integrated into most of Xing Hai’s products, such as the Wa-wah cleaning robot, the Little Star learning machine, the Bang Bang robot, the Xinghaiputer, and other hardware products, were their own technology. They were not dependent on external sources. Not to mention their software products.


    But even so, as they were caught in the middle of the storm, Xing Hai Technologies still aroused concern in many in the face of such sanctions. There were some small domestic suppliers who were so frightened that they canceled their coboration with Xing Hai Technologies.


    In order to avoid being implicated and the negative effects on overseas revenues, manypanies distanced themselves from Xing Hai Technologies for fear of being on the sanction list. Certainly, this had an impact on the business development of Xing Hai Technologies.


    After all, Merica was still the overlord of the global economy. They still had a great amount of power. No matter how much they despised and scorned Merica, Merica still had many ways to restrict their development and damage their interests.


    ...


    “Brother Chen, you’ve really managed to provoke Merica this time. You’ve delivered a hit with the strength of a nuclear bomb on Merica in the field of science and technology. Merica would find this absolutely uneptable. The chip industry is their most profitable core industry and an important pir of their technological hegemony. Now, you’re destroying this pir and taking away their pie. They absolutely can’t ept this. So, Brother Chen, your Xing Hai Technologies can only expand in the domestic market. The Star Cloud system and Xing Haiputer may not be distributed in overseas markets in either direct or indirect ways. Their development will face severe restrictions. Even the domestic supply chain will shrink.” On the phone, Lei Xiao Jun sighed, “Brother Chen, yourpany’s development strategy is too extreme, too extreme! You’ve offended the overlord, Merica, as well as its most difficult to deal with agency. Brother Chen... your balls are too big. You’re too headstrong, youck thought!” Lei Xiao Jun could not help but roast him with his words. Once you offended Merica, your good old days would be over. Even for him, his Da Mipany still obediently paid a fine of $1.9 billion before exiting the Merican market. He hoped to return to the Merican market in the future, and did not want to extinguish hisst hope.


    What about Xing Hai Technologies? They actually dared to confront them with dogged determination. There was not even a trace of fear of the total istion policy of Merica against them. They could not possibly get even more hard-headed.


    “Headstrong?” Chen Jin was slightly stunned, am I headstrong? Then he smiled and said, “Brother Lei, are you confused about the direction of the istion policy? It is clear that I am isting Merica, how is that Merica is isting me? Do they even have the ability to block Xing Hai Technologies?”


    “You–” Lei Xiao Jun was suddenly stunned. He was annoyed. He was still acting so stubbornly at this time! He was hopeless! He was really helpless in the face of this idiot.


    “Don’t be anxious, Brother Lei, listen to my analysis. Xing Hai Technologies’ mostpetitive technology is not our robot, nor is it the Xing Haiputer. These are just small toys. These technologies are not our core technology. Our core product is the ‘Little Star Intelligent Learning Machine’ which has the ability to transform the education of a country. It is also the “virtual factory” that brought the industry of a country to a whole new level. It is also the “work assistant” that improved the efficiency and quality of workers in a country. Of course, the most essential of all the core technologies that form the basis for all these core technologies is probably the “Intelligent Learning Technology.” This should be the thing that all countries are dreaming of. It is also the reason why Merica has repeatedly cracked down on and blocked Xing Hai Technologies. As long as we don’t hand over these technologies and don’t cooperate with them, the suppression will continue. Their tactics will get harsher until Xing Hai Technologiespromises. We are considered criminals because we have something precious that they want! This is the simplest reason. Their sanctions are something that wille sooner orter. It will happen as long as Xing Hai Technologies is still standing.”


    This conflict was irreconcble. Of course, Lei Xiao Jun’s worries were not unreasonable. Under theprehensive sanctions implemented by the West and led by Merica, the development of Xing Hai Technologies would definitely be seriously affected. It was akin to being restricted to an isted ind. They would develop abnormally, as they were unable to obtain sufficient resources to freely develop. In the long run, this was not conducive to the growth of Xing Hai Technologies.


    However, Chen Jin came up with a solution to ovee the ridiculous blockade. He nned to put the word out, and reserve two ces for the recruitment of two bootlickers.


    “Bootlickers?” Lei Xiao Jun was confused. What did this term mean?


    “Dogs that will kneel down in front of Xing Hai Technologies and lick our boots.” Chen Jin exined, “This is my n. I will no longer defend only the development strategy in Z country. I’ll allow the three products, ‘Little Star Learning Machine,”Virtual Factory,’ and ‘Work Assistant’ to enter the overseas markets. They will even enter western markets besides that of Merica’s. Of course, the knowledge tree of the Little Star Learning Machine would only be avable up to the high school standard. The simtion of the virtual factory would only attain a reality index of 99%. The ‘work assistant’ will be limited to a few civilian sectors. And all data will remain stored in the database of Xing Hai Technologies. When the bootlickers are not sufficiently obedient, we can cut off the data service at any time.” Chen Jin asked calmly, “Brother Lei, do you think it’s possible to recruit bootlickers with such conditions?”


    “Yes, for sure!” Lei Xiao Jun nodded fiercely and felt extremely excited.
