“What?”
“I got a call from Rogue saying I wanted to see the ambassador.”
Ambassador Bauer once again doubted his ears.
It’s already been a year since he came to America. More than 10 times have been asked to meet Rogue on behalf of the German government.
Everything was rejected.
In fact, it wasn’t just Ambassador Bauer. None of the European countries, such as Britain and France, has led to significant encounters with Rogue in any way.
I won’t even talk to Europe.
This has been Rogue’s attitude.
There is no rumor that the position of U.S. ambassador is a grave in European diplomatic diplomatic community. In the past three years, all ambassadors from European countries have failed to serve their terms.
It was a kind of reprimanding for failing to open a conversation window with Rogue. Ambassador Bauer also stepped on U.S. soil a year ago, succeeding his predecessor, who had been replaced.
But there was no such thing as a point.
I’ve heard that since Howard’s inauguration, envoys from several countries have met Jay, but Europe hasn’t even made it to the list.
So Rogue contacted you first?
At least it doesn’t seem to be replaced.
“Just tell me the date that Rogue wants, my schedule is ·····.”
I cancel whatever the schedule is.
“I called you so suddenly, but thank you so much for being so willing to make this place.”
Ambassador Bauer was surprised again.
I didn’t expect Jay to come out himself.
And it’s different from the public assessment.
Although he is an ordinary Asian young man, he is as stubborn and intelligent as his excellent hair (a couple of videos floating on the Internet make it hard to deny it) and his attitude is quite decent now.
I’m not arrogant.
“Honestly, is there a country that refuses Rogue’s request for an interview? This is Essen Bauer.”
“I’ve kept a lot of distance from Europe. I’m Jay. I call my name like this because it’s hard to pronounce.”
“That’s all right.”
The name is not important.
It’s not important to introduce your full name.
“I’m contacting you because Rogue is planning a technology investment in Germany. However, I wanted to see the ambassador first because I wanted to push in a way that would not go against the German government’s corporate policy rather than contacting the company recklessly.”
“······”
I was surprised again.
Is this Jay?
When it comes to investment, Rogue shook the British financial market. Thanks to you, Frankfurt of Germany got a reflective benefit, but what if Rogue’s attitude toward Europe was against you? It was about that much.
Legal investment, legal dismantling of the acquisition of Maxon. There was no problem, so the British government moved on while grinding its teeth. However, European countries have been wary of Rogue’s funds since then. It was Rogue who pushed for the loss without thinking about it.
All that technology investment?
Not even with money, but with the German government’s cooperation? Considering Rogue’s No, Jay’s maverick corporate management over the past three years, it is a surprising change of attitude.
There is no need to talk about Europe.
When Kera announced her production base, she was the one who tarnished even the U.S. Democratic lawmakers and governors where she stayed.
“Will it be difficult?”
What the hell are you up to?
“There’s nothing hard about it. It’s true that I’m a little embarrassed. I ask for your understand.”
“Mr. Bauer.”
“Yes.”
“I’m very weak in political investigation. So it’s much more intuitive and good to talk comfortably. You said you kept your distance from Europe, but it wasn’t. In England, not a single person would still go to Rogue. Don’t be a little embarrassed, just ask straightforwardly. I’m not offended by that conversation.”
What should I say?
It feels like the tension that stood close to each other is being relieved.
I’m not good at political investigation, so I’m asking straightforwardly.
“All right, if it’s an investment, why don’t we just do it?”
“I told you, technology investment.”
“Do you mean Rogue offers technology?”
“Yes.”
“You’re not Victor or Kera, are you?””
“Victor is impossible. Kera is also thinking about supplying Europe when the secondary production base is completed. It’s blue steel. Europe has already started developing a second alloy, so there’s nothing else to say.”
“Then what area of technology investment are you looking at?”
“This is the telecommunications facility.”
“······”
Ambassador Bauer was slightly speechless here.
Telecommunications equipment? That was a completely unexpected answer given the nature of Rogue’s products so far in the world.
“It’s not like a cell phone, it’s the network system.”
“Then are you planning to join the national infrastructure project?”
“No, Rogue will only invest in technology.”
“No strings attached?”
“There is, if you need to partner with another company later or get outside investment, you’ll have to ask Rogue for his consent. Especially for companies with Chinese capital.”
“······ Is it a check against China?”
“This condition is private.”
It’s the same as hearing the answer.
“I would suggest the same thing to other countries.”
“The areas of suggestion that we are going to do business by segmenting our network systems vary from country to country.”
“Are you going to make it difficult to merge into one?”
“You can break your contract with Rogue after you merge into one and become a dinosaur.”
China. Dinosaur.
I know where you’re talking about.
He is trying to pull out a pillar of China’s economy. It’s possible if the technical advantage is clear.
“I’m sure governments need to cooperate.”
“Yes, first of all, I’m going to create an ecosystem of equipment that I need to build a communication network. That way, it’s easier to replace someone even if they break the contract.”
“As if you’re changing an accessory?”
“You understand quickly.”
Say something creepy with a smile.
It was just before that he said with his own mouth that the ecosystem of the communication network was constructed. What will happen if the contract is broken and excluded from the business essential to the formation of a global national network?
“In which country······”
It was an unnecessary question.
“Of course in America. It’s okay to operate in a unique way in each country. Offer only to countries that do not have operational know-”
“It’s a tough offer to say no to.”
“So is it possible to cooperate?”
The answer was difficult at first.
I don’t know what kind of technology it is.
“I don’t know the technical field, so I think I need an expert. That way, we can decide whether to cooperate or not.”
However, the young man in front of him nodded as if he didn’t care at all. It’s an expression of confidence.
“Of course, if you can’t confirm your technical advantage, you can reject this offer right away. Refusing won’t restrict the supply of Kerah or Blue Steel.”
“I’ll contact my country right away.”

The American business community has begun to rumour about the range.
Rogue is scouting engineers at Notel Corporation in Canada, which has been bankrupt for well over a decade.
Immediately, related industries are on alert.
Nortel was the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 company in manufacturing and developing wired and wireless telecommunication and network equipment. This is because management was never negligent and put on the brink of bankruptcy.
Wall Street’s reaction was also hot.
“Is Rogue going into the telecommunications business?”
“No way? It’s not new material.”
“How much money do we have in-house? No matter what new business you start, you won’t have to worry about your financial strength. The problem is manpower.”
“It’s not about human resources, it’s about technology. Notel’s patents went bankrupt and sold out. How do you get through that market when you have a few patents?”
“How many?”
200,000 hearts.”
“Crazy.”
“It would be faster to buy a related company.”
“But everyone must be nervous because it’s Rogue.”
In this atmosphere, an unexpected guest visited Cisco, the No. 1 related industry in the U.S. It was Lindon, CEO of Rogue.
“So you’re saying let’s push for an overseas business partnership?”
“That’s right, Cisco’s market share is 40 percent, and it’s being pursued by China’s Wanwei and Xinjiang. In fact, if you think Wanwei and Xinjiang are one company under the control of the Chinese government, it’s already reversed. The combined share of the two companies is already over 50%.”
The customer has been thrusting into the sore spot.
“You can get through being chased.”
“You mean Cisco is better than being eaten by Rogue?”
“Don’t you think so?”
Let’s set up a joint venture?
Cisco’s own market share is falling further now that it is already being pursued by Wanwei and Sinjeong. If the headquarters is in a difficult situation, the joint venture could devour Cisco headquarters. There are not a few such cases. There are even cases in which a joint foreign branch takes over its headquarters.
If Rogue takes the management rights of the joint venture after taking such steps, Cisco itself will disappear.
“Let’s take a look at this.”
“······”
I took out my laptop from the bag that the customer brought.
“This is the communications network Rogue plans.”
“Communication network?”
“Yes, it’s a wired and wireless integration system. We are confident that we can still replace incomplete 5G systems.”
While shaking his head at the unbelievable words, his eyes automatically moved toward the screen. After seeing the first screen, he unwittingly reached the touchpad. To see the next screen.
And I had to feel my body shaking every time I turned the screen over one by one by one. Although it will be difficult to complete the network configuration in a short period of time, the period can be drastically shortened if the Rogue is backed by financial power.
3 years at the most?
In short, if the customer rejects the offer, Cisco will have three years of life.
Of course, whether this plan is technically complete or not is a separate matter, but the opponent is Rogue. At least in the United States, there is no one to cast a technical question on Rogue.
Still, I’m asking.
“Are you done designing your network equipment?”
“Yes, but Rogue won’t be producing the equipment. Technology investments are already underway in Europe and other countries.”
“So why are you working with us?”
“Of course Cisco has to produce some. I’ll also invest in your technology. And not all countries around the world have the know-how to operate the network.”
There is no gap.
I don’t know what kind of monsters the Rogue Institute has gathered to drive Cisco’s technology, which has accumulated for nearly 50 years, out of date.
“Is this Jay’s work, too?”
“Jay is not an alien.”
Lyndon denied, swallowing a bitter smile inside.
Because you and Jay are in sync.
“All of the Rogue researchers are independent research institutes anyway. What do you need to know who developed it? And I got a lot of help from Russian cooperative researchers.”
“So we’re going to develop the Rogue lab?”
“Yes, Lyndon insists.”
“What about patent shares?”
“I’m going to hand out Russian researchers.”

A surprise happened to the world.
It announced the establishment of a joint venture in Europe, including Britain, France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, and other countries such as Australia, India and Canada, which receive simultaneous investment from Rogue.
The joint venture was also tremendous.
Establishment of an integrated network system that is essential to the organization of the national infrastructure network in each country and the Internet network that brings the world together. And the division of the equipment manufacturing required for that configuration.
Once the network is established, it can replace the 5G communication system that is still incomplete as well as securing the stability and security of the system. Efficiency in a much higher direction.
Experts from all over the world rushed to see if the claim was correct.
Once a large number of prototypes were created according to the design delivered by Rogue to each country, they accessed a tentatively named Rogue network instead of the current Internet network.
The test started after making the existing Internet network and Rogue network simultaneously accessible to the rented at the same time.
The result was overwhelming.
The stability of Rogue’s network was superior to that of any country’s national telecommunications network in the test conducted by substituting all possible unexpected situations. Security? Speed? At least none of the existing networks scored higher than Rogue.
Rogue’s announcement that there is much room for improvement depending on surrounding conditions such as semiconductor facilities was frightening.
What the hell are they doing in Rogue lab?
I’m sure you’ve attracted aliens like Jay.
How did you change the network design and structure? Is that even possible?
What do you mean, they change all the equipment inside?
– On the contrary, the structure has been simplified, which seems to speed up and increase network efficiency.
– All the existing network equipment companies are down.
I’m not even done with the test. Aren’t you excited?
I’m not excited just by the experts’ presentation. Of course, the network won’t be replaced right away, but it’s only a matter of time.
But Rogue has a conscience, so he’s working with major countries this time. I think it’s my first time in Europe.
In the meantime, China and Japan are missing.
Rogue used to be mean to China and Japan.
In this atmosphere, Russia stepped up ahead of the U.S.
As soon as the test is over, Russia is planning to replace all network systems that are used in the national network.]
Russia again?
If it’s a Russian Rogue, you’ll die.
Didn’t you take the Ceres test? Ministers said so, but the president’s appearance at the barbecue party turned everything upside down.
– Victor, Ceres, Minus. Russia has benefited a lot from Jay after the U.
It’s also profitable to introduce that system first.
– Yeah, stability, efficiency, sure is profit.
Even if the construction of the network is finished, equipment will continue to be replaced unless all parts are used permanently. It was Russia’s decision to introduce it early and enjoy the effect of improving efficiency early.
It was time for some European countries to make a long-term plan and announce that they will start replacing equipment.
[If backdoor or illegal spyware is hidden throughout ····· Rogue’s network equipment and related software, there is a risk that companies using the system will experience serious technology leakage.]
China’s foreign statement came out.
China, not any other country?
What’s wrong with them?
China produces half of the world’s network equipment.
Wanwei and Shinjeong.
If the market itself goes down like this, both companies will be closed.
Can’t we re-develop it?
– Easy to say. How do you beat Rogue, who already developed related equipment and software while creating the system?
– Huh? Rogue response statement.
– Crazy. Spilled out.
What did he say?
See for yourself.
[······ technology leakage? At least China doesn’t have to worry about it. China has no technology that requires Rogue.]
