Chapter 273
Ronald looked at the board and said with a look of astonishment.
“You can’t even see well. How the hell did you find this?”
If it wasn’t for wisdom, I wouldn’t have even imagined that such a thing existed.
“I was lucky.”
In fact, the problem of backdoors in Chinese products has already been raised several times. However, each time they escaped, saying that it was just a security loophole and not an intentionally planted backdoor.
However, due to concerns about this, some government agencies, including the United States, did not use Chinese-made electronic products at all and excluded them from bidding.
“I can say that this is pretty solid evidence.”
“Especially if it can be found not only in us, but elsewhere.”
In fact, it is not known exactly what role this chip played. It is obvious that he would deny it, saying that he does not know it even if he brings it to his face.
But what if it is found elsewhere? And what if it is the US government, not a single company, that takes issue with it?
Then you won’t be able to get out as easily as before.
I said persuasively.
“China has forced global companies, including the United States, to transfer technology and stole intellectual property rights at will. I don’t know what else I’ll do if I keep going like this.”
The state puts its own interests first. No matter how close I may be with the President, the United States does not move easily unless it is in the interest of the United States.
Therefore, this should benefit not only us, but the United States as well.
After the end of the Cold War, the world was reorganized around the United States. The United States led the world in military, economic, cultural, and diplomatic spheres. China is the only country that has challenged such a world order.
Based on a huge continent and a population of 1.5 billion, China closely followed the United States and has grown to the extent that it is now called the G2.
The United States will not allow it to stand shoulder to shoulder with or overtake the United States, even if it allows for a second-person position.
Since his candidacy, Ronald has been voicing the need for sanctions against China, citing the trade imbalance between the US and China. He pointed out that the United States is running a deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade with China.
In fact, the trade deficit is the fate of the reserve currency country.
Since all world trade is done in dollars, in order to use dollars, you must first have dollars. The US won’t be giving away its currency to the world for free, so to earn dollars it has to export goods to the US.
Then the US buys those things and supplies dollars to the world. In this way, Americans enjoyed price stability and affluent lives instead of a trade deficit.
However, this brought about not only a trade deficit, but also a side effect of the collapse of the manufacturing industry.
Previously, the United States was the world’s largest industrialized country. But now the title has been taken by China, and American manufacturing is in great trouble.
Ronald continued to point out the problem during his campaign as a candidate, citing trade imbalances with other countries (especially China) as the cause.
The dissatisfaction of the workers represented by Rustbelt allowed Ronald to be elected president.
The key is not to resolve the trade imbalance, but to revive the US manufacturing industry. If the US manufacturing industry revives by any chance, there is no need to resolve the trade imbalance.
But, surprisingly, it happened.
Earthquakes and tsunamis hit megacities. Skyscrapers and houses collapsed, and everything was swept away.
This has created enormous effective demand. Not only did the construction industry revive, but manufacturing plants continued to run without a break.
Ronald’s promise to revive the manufacturing industry came to pass in an unexpected way.
Ronald was busy taking care of Big One, and with the manufacturing industry entering a booming phase, he had little reason to sanction China.
Meanwhile, China continued to grow its influence in the international community based on its military and economic power.
The US is not going to be watching this for a while. If you plan to bump into one and break China’s momentum, this will be a good cause.
Ronald, who had been contemplating for a long time, looked at me and said.
“Your clothes look good, so we can go right away.”
“Yes?”
Where do you want to go?
He got up and said.
“Go to the White House press room.”
Taek-gyu stuck out his tongue and spoke in a low voice.
“Look at the action.”
* * *
The press room in the West Wing of the White House.
It is a place that people from all over the world have seen at least once. This is because the official announcement of the White House is made here and it is broadcast all over the world through the news.
When I went out through the aisle next to the press room, there was a narrow space where reporters were gathered. Even though it was late, there were still reporters from various media outlets, looking for anything that could become an article.
A reporter came in with coffee and snacks, and everyone stopped what they were doing, sipping coffee and talking.
“I heard that Jinhoo Kang is now in America.”
“Why did she come without a word?”
“I heard from a Chinese correspondent that it seems like they met with the Chinese commerce manager and Zhou Cha in Macau.”
“Ah! I heard about it too. But did Zhou Cha really copy the Karos technology?”
“Well, it didn’t happen once or twice. If you protest to the Chinese side, you won’t even snort.”
“What do you plan to do after Kang Jin-hoo?”
“Since the technology has already been leaked, won’t we be forced to work with Zhou Cha?
“However, if we do a joint venture, we will be forced to continue technology transfer.”
While everyone was talking, I worked hard to organize the contents in my head.
‘If used well, it might become an article… … .’
But at that moment, someone shouted.
“They say the president will make an important announcement in 30 minutes!”
“What?”
After that, the reporters put down their coffee, grabbed their laptops, and ran to the press room. The empty chairs quickly filled up with reporters.
Moments later, Ronald entered the press conference room.
In retrospect, he made several shocking announcements at this event. If I had to pick one of them, it was the moment when the Big One happened.
The moment Ronald was about to announce his resignation, the White House shook violently and he announced that the Big One had come.
The reporters who were there at that time have not forgotten the incident. Wasn’t that perhaps the most dramatic scene in 21st-century American history?
Ronald looked around the reporters and said.
“I am going to make a major announcement from now on. Prior to the presentation, we had an important guest here.”
Then an Asian young man came in.
The moment they saw him, the reporters were astonished. It was none other than Jinhoo Kang, CEO of OTK Company. This was his first visit to the White House press room.
Reporters quickly pounded on their laptops and posted articles.
Ronald stepped aside, and Jinhoo Kang stood in front of the microphone.
“nice to meet you. This is Jinhoo Kang.”
After a brief greeting, he immediately brought up the subject.
“As already stated, Zhou Cha is suspected to have copied many of Karos’ techniques. On this matter, he thoroughly consulted the President, and he sympathized with Sim Awakened.”
a reporter asked.
“Is there any evidence?”
Then, to his surprise, Kang Jin-hu nodded his head.
“While he was investigating the leak path, he discovered a spy chip on the server. This server is manufactured by Super Nano, and it is presumed that data was stolen through it.”
Reporters were shocked by that statement.
“Come on, wait. So, are you saying that the backdoor was intentionally planted on the Super Nano side?”
“I am not sure, but I suspect it happened during the distribution process rather than the production process. The problem is that this server is not only used by us, but also by companies and government offices around the world such as NPL, Google, AMZ, and Facenote. It is presumed that they also have spy chips. If that is true, important information and data of American companies may have been indiscriminately leaked.”
Then Ronald said.
“The U.S. will immediately begin an investigation into Jeong Kook’s technology leak, patent infringement, and intellectual property theft. If China does not cooperate, the United States will have no choice but to take extraordinary measures to protect the interests of the country and its people.”
Reporters raised their hands and asked questions.
“Do you think China will respond?”
“What is the special measure you just mentioned?”
Ronald raised his hands and said.
“China violated trade rules and stole our technology. No matter what previous presidents may have been, I will not tolerate this unfair practice any longer. The special measure I’m talking about is the bulk sanctions on Chinese products. If necessary, we will gladly ban Chinese products and impose massive tariffs!”
The announcement was immediately carried around the world through the media.

After the press conference, Taek-gyu and I got into the car and headed to the hotel, when his cell phone rang. The sender is Vice Chairman Wang Yi-chang.
As soon as he answered the call, he fired in an angry voice.
[What are we going to do now?]If you were talking on the speakerphone, an interpreter right next to you delivered the message.
I said calmly.
“Did I not tell you before? Apologize and make amends and it will end well I am truly sorry that this has happened.”
[what? Are you saying that now?]“It reminds me of the word Paengduisuk.”
If the head is boiled, the ears will ripen naturally. If she can’t get her hands on Zhou Cha, it means she’ll get her hands on China.
he shouted.
[So you’re going to turn the whole of China into an enemy?]“You should ask America, not me.”
[Do you think China will stand still?]“Then what will you do?”
I returned what he had said before.
“You say that if a small country opposes a large country, it will lead to anger? Use your judgment.”
[What… … ?]
I hung up the phone without hearing any more.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
If you’re sorry, he’ll call you back.

China was stunned by the White House announcement.
As soon as the announcement was made, Super Nano’s stock price plummeted more than 50 percent, and a market cap of $800 million evaporated into the air.
The Chinese government immediately issued a statement denying it.
“Jinhoo Kang’s announcement is a nonsensical plot! China respects patents and intellectual property rights more than any other country. There is no such thing as a backdoor or technology theft.”
The atmosphere was generally ridiculed.
– Does China respect intellectual property rights?
– Haha, the bread exploded after a while.
-I thought it was only giving fine dust, but it gave me a big laugh.
-Hehe I got mad after the Gangjin. You’re scratching the back of the head of China.
-Jinhu Kang VS Chinese? scale is boring
– Who will win?
– Haven’t there been any people who have touched after a strong earthquake so far?
– After the earthquake, all those who turned enemies became enemies.
– For example, your Excellency?
-By the way, is that spy chip real? It’s not a 007 movie, does it make sense to steal information about something like that?
– It makes sense. Last time, a backdoor was found in a Chinese CCTV and smartphone. That’s why the FBI and the CIA warn against using Chinese smartphones and telecommunication devices.
– Didn’t you say that CL Telecom in Korea uses Weihua communication equipment?
– Haha, Weihwa. The company was founded by an officer of the People’s Liberation Army with support from the Chinese government. It is not a matter of intercepting communications and stealing information if you like.
– Oh, damn it. My computer’s motherboard is Super Nano.
-Huh. All your personal information has been stolen. Even the porn list on the hard drive was stolen.
-Do not worry. Anyway, due to the last time Litecard hack, all personal information of Koreans was transferred to China. It has already been robbed, so there is no more information to rob.
The same was true of the US as well.
The United States is very sensitive to privacy. At the worst, NPL even refused to cooperate with the terrorist’s request to unlock the N-Phone lock.
If a Chinese company intentionally inserts a spy chip into the server and steals information about the company and Americans through this, it is an act that cannot be condoned.
Consumer complaints abounded, and NPL, Google, AMZ, and Facenote immediately began to inspect their servers and data centers.
Within three days, the results came out.
FBI Director Cass Sunstein released the findings of the investigation. He said, putting up several boards in front of the press as evidence.
“The claims made by CEO Jin-hoo Kang turned out to be true. Spy chips were also found on super nano servers such as NPL and Guble. It seems that they were inserted after not during the production process, and we are currently expanding the scope of the investigation.”
