"We received the news from the US side and were very surprised. We are also very happy to make corresponding modifications to our technology to meet the requirements of the US regulatory agencies. We very much hope to bring our technology and products to the American people to share."
"However, after carefully reviewing the technical requirements from the US side, we found that these technical modifications require us to fully open the backend control of the chip and system, so as to transmit user privacy information to the relevant regulatory agencies."
"Such technical improvements are unacceptable to our Jiangnan Group. We believe that user privacy must be controlled by the users themselves. No enterprise, individual, or institution has the right to obtain user privacy, let alone indirectly control users' electronic products and cause extremely bad impacts on users' daily experience."
"Considering these circumstances, we will actively communicate with the US regulatory agencies and do our best to protect the privacy of all users. Thank you for your support!"
This was the immediate response from Jiangnan Group after the US regulatory agencies issued their corresponding requirements.
The response was very fast. It was posted on the official website and reposted across the entire network within three hours.
Along with the response, the technical modification request sent directly by the US regulatory agencies was also posted. This request had also been posted on the US regulatory agencies' own official website.
However, that was a series of English and related technical terms, and 98% of users could not understand what the technical requirement modification document was saying.
But Jiangnan Group, being very thoughtful, provided a translation, converting the entire technical requirement modification plan into a more easily understandable version. Then, all viewers saw that 50% of this technical requirement document demanded that Jiangnan Group completely open the backend of the chip and system, and that the management rights of this backend must be handed over to professional departments for management.
Not only US users, but also users from other countries had their backends managed by US relevant agencies, with a perfect reason: for world peace and to prevent the spread of global KB organizations.
As a result, as soon as this translated version of the modification opinions was released, netizens around the world were shocked. Although they all knew that Americans liked to monitor others' privacy and had done so secretly many times, after the Lj incident and almost killing Microsoft, even if they were going to do it again, they should have done it secretly. How could they directly post these requirements on their own official websites? Was this bullying everyone by assuming they couldn't understand professional terms?
Therefore, some netizens immediately consulted big names in computer software or directly posted these two requests on the official Weibo accounts of those big names, asking if such a translation was true.
What was magical was that the prominent influencers, who previously posted at least ten updates daily, had all become mute at this moment.
Either they pretended not to see such requests or simply stopped posting, as if they didn't have official Weibo accounts.
Within a single day, netizens had contacted more than 600 prominent computer influencers globally about these requirements, asking them about the truth and whether Jiangnan Group's technical translation was accurate.
As a result, all these influencers remained silent, saying not a word, as if they hadn't seen it.
Fortunately, some influencers from certain countries were not afraid. We don't need to mention those from China. The most courageous was Russia's Federal Agency for State Property Management, which directly published an article on its official account.
The article explained the entire requirement in more easily understandable and informative language, followed by a summary statement:
"In general, Jiangnan Group's translation is accurate. If there is any inaccuracy, it is that their translation was too gentle; they didn't dare to write out even more excessive requirements, such as directly asking Jiangnan Group to help them develop a backdoor management program, allowing US management agencies to directly control any terminal globally, just like they did with Microsoft back then. These guys have become so lazy that they don't even have the ability to develop it themselves anymore.
If Jiangnan Group had really agreed to such a request, then the control of all terminals worldwide would have been transferred into their hands. This is an extremely terrifying matter, but fortunately, Jiangnan Group refused them.
We noticed that many experts from other countries remained silent and gave no response. This is normal. After all, people from these countries are not like our great motherland, which has suffered various torments for decades. They naturally dare not express their opinions.
But their silence is the greatest expression of their stance. Imagine if there were no translated requirements in this technical document; they would have jumped out to criticize Jiangnan Group long ago instead of remaining silent.
Silence is the greatest statement!"
Such an article instantly went viral across the internet, and netizens worldwide were utterly enraged. They did not expect some countries to be so shamelessly described.
The US management agencies were naturally also very angry. They were angry that Jiangnan Group not only refused but also dared to translate the technical requirements directly. This was utterly ungrateful.
As a result, the relevant management agencies immediately published another statement on their official website, stating that Jiangnan Group's smear was irresponsible and baseless, and an insult to them. Therefore, they withdrew their previous willingness to provide Jiangnan Group with technical improvement opportunities until Jiangnan Group admitted their mistakes and publicly apologized to them.
Of course, while publishing this statement, they also deleted the technical document that had been posted online.
Although there were still numerous screenshot versions on the internet, as long as they didn't admit it, no one could prove that these things were posted by them.
Jiangnan Group could only express regret for this, and there was nothing more. Following this, the American people continued to live in a world where they could not purchase the five-进制 personal terminals.
Major multinational corporations worldwide also expressed their disbelief. They were shocked that Jiangnan Group dared to go head-to-head with a country, and that they were not retaliated against afterward. This was not logical.
But upon further reflection, it seemed they were already in a state of retaliation. As seen, Jiangnan Group had basically withdrawn from the entire US market. Even if some products were still on sale, they were mostly entering through special channels, and their related revenue in the US had plummeted.
Therefore, Jiangnan Group had already paid a price. Conversely, the US relevant agencies did not know how to further trouble Jiangnan Group.
After this farce ended, Mexico's electronics market, after some twists and turns, gained even more momentum.
As time passed, Jiangnan Group's production of related 3D stereoscopic projection lamp heads continued to increase, so the devices were no longer so difficult to purchase. Generally, one could get a terminal after waiting for about three months.
This led to a larger volume of goods in the Mexican market, but the prices were still rising, as more and more people were coming from the US to buy terminals. The market was still in a state of insufficient supply.
This caused a large number of poor Americans who couldn't afford to go abroad but desperately wanted to obtain cool holographic projection technology to become increasingly agitated. The entire US began to experience some instability.
The specific details of this instability cannot be written, but in short, within a few months, the death toll caused by certain situations reached the level of the previous ten years.
It was obvious to anyone that if this situation were not addressed, it would likely explode directly.
US relevant agencies naturally could not turn a blind eye to this. Their initial thought was to continue retaliating against Jiangnan Group, but the problem was that they could no longer think of how to retaliate.
Things that could not be bought were already prevented from being bought.
Even the internet could not be affected, as Jiangnan Group's own "Zhou Tian Xing Chen" plan was overhead, and one could directly access the internet by opening the terminal's cosmic antenna. Therefore, they could think of ways to bring down those communication satellites, but the cost of a communication satellite was only a few hundred thousand US dollars, while the cost of a weapon that could shoot one down was tens of millions of US dollars. Even a fool wouldn't do such a thing.
The only way forward was to quickly allow the relevant terminals to enter, otherwise, who knew what would happen.
But the problem was that the relationship between the two sides had already become so strained. How could they reach a reconciliation with dignity?
So, through some intermediary channels, an intermediary found Huang He and helped propose cooperation conditions, which were for both sides to take a step back.
The US would not change its previous stance. Jiangnan Group would outwardly agree to modify according to the initial proposed modification plan. But in reality, only some simple modifications would be made to put on a show, and the relevant agencies would pretend not to see it.
The intermediary felt that this plan was very good. The Americans gained face, Jiangnan Group earned money, and everyone was happy.
As a result, Boss Huang almost kicked the intermediary out directly.
In Boss Huang's own words: "Our Jiangnan Group has explained the entire document, telling everyone that it's a pile of shit. Now you want Jiangnan Group to eat this pile of shit itself. I don't lack this market of hundreds of billions of dollars, and I won't do such disgusting things to myself!"
Obviously, no normal businessman would agree to such a foolish request, so this negotiation between the two sides collapsed again.
However, the situation within the US became increasingly urgent. At this critical moment, the four major financial groups stepped in. Several of their major companies suddenly announced that they had mastered the technology to modify the five-进制 computer system.
Therefore, after purchasing Jiangnan Group's five-进制 chips and related products, they could modify them themselves and then sell the modified secure versions to the American people.
However, this would inevitably lead to an increase in price. The personal terminals originally priced at $600 per unit would be sold to you for $1000, which is reasonable, right? After all, if you buy them in Mexico, it would cost $1500 now, and I'm still $500 cheaper!
