#262 - The words that shocked the audience on the "Focus Interview" program.
Meanwhile, Gao Nian, who was busy tackling the technology for low-cost, large-scale production of graphene, was unaware of the situation in the United States.

If he knew, he would probably sneer, because their methods were nothing more than the same old tricks.
Of course, Gao Nian didn't know any of this.
So Gao Nian was still working hard on the research and development of low-cost, large-scale graphene production technology, and the progress of this technology was quite good, and it was estimated that it could be implemented faster than expected.
Time continued to pass slowly, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed.
When the time came to June 4, 2013, something quite bad happened to Geek Technology Company.
On this day, the U.S. Department of Commerce used the reason that 'Geek Technology Company is cooperating with the military to develop military technology that endangers national defense security'.
It directly announced that Geek Technology Company was included in the entity list, and announced that U.S. companies and individuals are not allowed to sell equipment, instruments, technical patents, etc. to Geek Technology Company.
In addition, they also announced punitive tariffs on Geek Technology Company.
The proportion of these punitive tariffs varies according to the different businesses of Geek Technology Company.
Some industry insiders analyzed the proportion of punitive tariffs to be paid for each business of Geek Technology Company.
For a time, some people applauded and cheered, calling that Geek Technology Company should have been included in the entity list long ago, and should have been subject to punitive tariffs long ago.
Some people fell into a state of anger, calling this a destruction of free trade, and they should take retaliatory measures!
And such calls naturally occupied the mainstream in China. When people talked about the United States, they all spat on it.
It can be said that the public reaction after Huawei Technology Company was sanctioned by the United States in its previous life was also replayed in this life. During this period of time, the content people talked about was basically Geek Technology Company, and it was all about 'entity list' and 'punitive tariffs'.
Under such circumstances, countless reporters also rushed to China and to the headquarters of Geek Technology Company.
They all wanted to know what Geek Technology Company thought about the 'entity list' and 'punitive tariffs'.
Faced with such a major event, Gao Nian naturally had no way to continue to concentrate on tackling the technology for low-cost, large-scale graphene production.
So, when he heard that more and more reporters were blocking the gate in front of Geek Technology Company, and even affecting the daily operation of Geek Technology Company.
Gao Nian also decided to accept media interviews like Ren Zhengfei, the president of Huawei Technology in his previous life, to express his attitude and gain the support of the Chinese people and international friends.
As for which media to accept the interview, it was naturally to accept the interview with the "Focus Interview" program.
After all, the "Focus Interview" program is the most well-known program in China, with a large number of viewers, so it is naturally the first choice.
Of course, it was impossible for Gao Nian to fly to Beijing to participate in the interview program himself. Naturally, he could only let them come over here, and then Gao Nian would take the time to cooperate with their TV program.
As for what the "Focus Interview" program team thought, they naturally agreed with ecstasy.
Because this matter was too important, the people of the whole country, including countless overseas netizens, were paying attention to this matter.
They had already foreseen that the number of viewers of this "Focus Interview" program would explode, so they readily agreed.
Then, they said that they would take a plane overnight from Beijing to allow Geek Technology Company to hold a "Focus Interview" live broadcast program the next night.
Gao Nian had no objection to this and agreed to accept the Focus Interview program the next night.
And so, the news that Gao Nian, the chairman of Geek Technology Company, would accept the "Focus Interview" program the next night spread.
Therefore, countless Chinese people, including overseas netizens, also decided to watch this "Focus Interview" program.
They wanted to know what Gao Nian thought about the United States including Geek Technology Company in the 'entity list', so that Geek Technology Company had no way to obtain U.S. equipment, instruments, and technology.
They wanted to know what Gao Nian thought about the punitive tariffs of the United States, whether he would give up the U.S. market because of this, and then withdraw from the U.S. market.
With such curiosity, people on this day were quite anxious and impatient, eager for time to pass faster.
As time passed slowly, it came to 19:38 the next night. With the familiar opening remarks, Gao Nian slowly stepped onto the stage of the program.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa — ."
"Thank you very much for your warm applause."
Gao Nian cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Mr. Gao Nian, it seems that you are still very popular in China."
After speaking, the host Bai Yansong continued with a smile:
"We are very grateful to Mr. Gao Nian for giving us the opportunity to interview. In order not to delay everyone's time, let us move on to the topic next."
"Naturally, there is no problem."
Gao Nian, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded lightly in agreement, and then waited for the host Bai Yansong to ask questions.
"Mr. Gao Nian, this time the U.S. Department of Commerce included Geek Technology Company in the 'entity list' and also imposed 'punitive tariffs' on Geek Technology Company.
What do you think about this?"
Hearing Bai Yansong's question, the people at the scene, including the more than 20 million netizens in front of the TV and the Internet live broadcast room, all looked at Gao Nian curiously.
I don't know what Gao Nian thinks about this matter.
"My opinion is that their behavior is quite stupid. This is taking history backwards. This is locking the country and closing it off.
History will prove how short-sighted their behavior is, history will prove how foolish they are, and history will also prove how they ruined the future of the United States!"
Gao Nian said his opinion forcefully, making people show a clear expression.
Because Gao Nian's words were too confident, as if Geek Technology Company was not a persecuted person, but a winner.
"Mr. Gao Nian, why do you say that? Why are you so confident?"
The host Bai Yansong couldn't help but ask his curiosity.
"The source of my confidence lies in the fact that behind me stands a great country, a great nation, it is the source of my confidence and strength."
