Chapter 487: Longteng's Strategic Contraction
"According to the current evidence, Apple is suspected of illegally stealing the information of national citizens in China. Now I order the relevant departments to immediately seal and investigate Apple. In this way, let the Ministry of Commerce cooperate and ...... on the grounds of investigating Apple's economic problems."
The order was given by the National Intelligence Service, and the matter was too serious. If there are many countries where the information of citizens is leaked, this has risen to the height of national security.
action, the relevant departments took action. At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce of China also cooperated, the reason was economic problems, after all, in the past few days, there are too many people clamoring for Apple to return the goods.
"Hey, who are you? You can't just enter ......."
Yanjing, Apple's Huaxia branch, some people in suits walked into the branch. The security guard quickly stopped and asked about the situation.
"We are from the Ministry of Commerce of China, and now we are ordered to investigate Apple's ......"
The odd man took out his documents, and the security guard swallowed his saliva after seeing the documents, and he didn't dare to resist anymore.
A large number of people poured into Apple's branches, and intelligence officers disguised themselves as agents of the Ministry of Commerce to seize Apple's branches and some flagship stores in China.
And the news was quickly spread by the media......
"Apple's branch was sealed by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce......"
"Apple's flagship store was closed for unknown reasons......
"The Chinese Ministry of Commerce Looks at the Investigation ...... Apple Branch"
"Action ...... of the Huaxia Administrative Department"
When the news was announced, everyone was shocked. Not only the domestic media, but also the foreign media were shocked. Apple has been investigated in Huaxia, which is too abnormal.
What kind of company is Apple, this company has too much influence. For such a company, if there is no real problem, the Ministry of Commerce of Huaxia will definitely not act, after all, Huaxia has also joined the World Trade Organization and must abide by some rules.
The Huaxia branch was blocked, which also made Apple take a big start. Apple did not expect that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce would close its own branches.
And now, the Ministry of Commerce of China has really sealed it. The action was very swift, and it was sealed without warning.
All the executives in the company were taken away, and all the computers were taken away. The accounts and everything were also packed and taken away, which made Apple scratch its head.
For a company as big as Apple, the company's finances must be perfect. Even if they evade taxes, they are reasonable tax avoidance, and they never make false accounts to avoid taxes.
So they think they don't have any problems economically, but now that they are being seized by the Ministry of Commerce, they don't know what it is for. As for the backdoor of information security, Apple is very confident that the relevant departments of Huaxia will not find out, after all, the backdoor is very hidden.
"What the hell happened to Apple?"
"I'll go, the Ministry of Commerce is too awesome......"
"It's so good, when did our Ministry of Commerce become so good......
"It's so cool......"
"It's going to irritate ......"
"Hahahaha, it's really exciting......"
"Investigating Apple, it's awesome......"
"I like ......"
"That's it, let them investigate our ...... often"
"yes, ...... must be investigated"
Domestic netizens became excited, this matter was too exciting and incredible for them. This is something that has never happened before.
In the past, foreign companies were investigated for dumping of Huaxia companies. Some industries in Huaxia have suffered heavy losses. And this time, Huaxia actually directly attacked Apple, the world's largest company in terms of market capitalization, which is a company that even the United States does not dare to investigate.
At this juncture, Huaxia Company was investigated by the Ministry of Commerce of Huaxia. This matter is definitely worse for Apple. Originally, the Longteng incident caused Apple to plummet, and now the Ministry of Commerce of China is investigating Apple, and the next step is likely to be Apple's complete withdrawal from China.
Exit from Huaxia and withdraw from the world's largest consumer market. This is a huge loss for any brand.
It's messy, it's completely messy. The battle has become so chaotic that no one can understand it. Longteng Group was investigated abroad, and Apple was investigated in Huaxia.
It looks like retaliation, but no one knows what it actually is. PurposeNow Longteng Group and Apple are facing huge problems, and this problem is also something that the other party needs to solve quickly.
Blue Ocean City, in the conference room of Zhang Fan's villa. All the top brass came together.
"Alright, let's have a meeting. First of all, I would like to announce one thing, the first is that the opening of the national war function of "PUBG" will be postponed. At the same time, it was announced that foreign countries would cooperate with the investigation of relevant foreign departments, and the game would be temporarily under maintenance......"
Zhang Fan said in a low voice, and everyone took a breath when they heard this.
This decision has a very big impact on PUBG. This will greatly reduce PUBG's income.
But now it can only be said that in addition to Huaxia and some unimportant markets. The more important markets in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other markets have been under investigation, and the game is in a state of suspension.
"Chairman, you mean to take back all of our personnel?"
Xu Huang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, strategic contraction. Instead of dealing with them with them where to fight to the death. It is better to shrink strategically and focus on the main domestic effort. Let's lay a solid foundation in the country first, and then we will expand outward......"
Zhang Fan said seriously. At that time, the expansion of foreign markets was due to the relatively large competition in the domestic market. And now, after the Longteng Group, the situation of Longteng Group in China is completely different.
Now offend Apple, rather than being toyed with by them abroad. It is better to lay a solid foundation in China, and the domestic market is very large.
Intact, just a domestic market can make Longteng Group unable to survive. What's more, Zhang Fan is lucky again, and the future definition is to take the industrial route.
Longteng Group's business in China is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Shrink the market and position the country. This is a strategic contraction, and at the same time to take the high-end route. This time, Longteng Group was only hindered abroad because the products were not high-end enough.
If the products of Longteng Group are the highest end. It is an indispensable thing. Whoever dares to be bad, no one dares to check, and no one dares to move.
Strategic contraction, this is Zhang Fan's definition of Longteng Group. As for PUBG, the game was only temporarily blocked. When Apple's trouble comes, they won't have the energy to care about the affairs of the Dragon Group. At that time, it's never too late to fight back.
