Chapter 834: The Trade War Begins

In the Guoshu Pavilion, these warriors finally became one of Zhang Fan's disciples after seeking the consent of their superiors.

After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, they officially began to learn Jeet Kune Do from Zhang Fan.

The new Jeet Kune Do is more powerful and has more killer moves. The changes have become even more unpredictable.

In addition to empty-handed fighting, Zhang Fan's mastery of cold weapons is also very good. Synthesizing the strengths of a hundred schools, he also came up with a set of dagger fighting.

This set of fighting techniques is more useful for the fighters, after all, for these fighters. Fighting with a saber is much more often than with bare hands.

During the mission, even if the bullets are gone, the saber is still there. As the saying goes, no matter how high the martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives, and dagger fighting is relatively more important.

"Chairman, the trade war has begun. ”

Just when the days were calm, Zhang Fan received a call. After getting the news, Zhang Fan's face immediately became serious, and he immediately notified him to convene an emergency meeting.

The trade war has become more and more serious in the past two years. The United States is constantly clamoring for a trade war.

The two sides also conducted a lot of negotiations, and each used its own means. And now, the trade war has finally begun.

Within Longteng Group, there has long been an in-depth investigation into this matter. After all, Longteng Group is now an export-oriented enterprise.

There are also many products exported to the United States, ranging from clothing and toys to cars and yachts. Tesla's pure electric vehicles are currently selling well in the United States.

Now that the trade war has started, Longteng Group will definitely be affected. There is no doubt about this, and in the general environment, many companies cannot escape.

In the office, Zhang Fan carefully looked at the content of the trade war. Very simple strategy to increase tariffs. Corresponding tariffs will be increased on China's $50 billion products.

There are many kinds of products, including automobiles, electronic components, light industrial products, chemical products and so on.

For these products, the United States will increase tariffs by 25 percent on top of the original tariffs.

This increase in tariffs is undoubtedly a very large loss for exporting companies. If the original price is maintained, then the cost of the tariff must be borne by the company itself.

If the selling price is increased, then the sales of these products will naturally decrease.

The United States imposed tariffs, and Huaxia immediately responded. At about the same time, tariffs were imposed on $50 billion of US products, an increase of 25 percent.

-for-tat, such an environment is definitely not what entrepreneurs want to see. But now that this has happened, they can only deal with it.

In the conference room, some high-level people gather here.

"I believe everyone knows the situation. The trade war has begun, and we must respond accordingly. First of all, let's be clear: you can't back down. Especially in the U.S. market, the price of our products in the U.S. will remain unchanged for the time being. The cost of customs duties is borne by us......"

Zhang Fan said seriously, and everyone also looked at Zhang Fan. They've talked about it many times before.

"Secondly, rationally adjust the industrial layout. Minimize unnecessary costs. Accelerate the global factory layout ......"

In response to the trade war, Longteng Group has been preparing for a long time. For different products, Longteng Group also has different countermeasures.

For example, factories are built in different regions according to different markets. The same product, produced in different places, then the cost is different.

For example, some products are produced in the United States, which can directly save high tariffs. And for the United States, they have increased employment, they get taxes.

However, this kind of escape is not a good thing for the Chinese manufacturing industry. However, in today's environment of business globalization, this is what major multinational companies are doing.

"Third, show attitude. We are looking for substitutes for our original imports from the United States. Even if the cost is a little higher, it should be replaced. ”

"Fourth, unite with other companies to boycott American goods. Open up our supply chain and take the opportunity to win more domestic market ......"

Zhang Fan convened a meeting, the trade war is a double-edged sword, and no one knows the outcome until the end. For some companies, the trade war is not necessarily a crisis, but also an opportunity.

This time, both China and the United States have imposed tariffs on each other, which is also an opportunity for Longteng Group. After the tariffs were imposed, the prices of the products imported from the United States by some importers became higher.

Longteng Group can seize the opportunity to open up its own supply chain and increase the capacity of its own supply chain to directly replace those American products.

The strongest thing about Longteng Group is that it has a huge raw material supply chain. Some people agree with this model, while others disdain.

Sometimes these supply chains can reduce costs, but sometimes what you produce yourself is more expensive than what you import.

In this case, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses. But now when the trade war happens, everyone knows how good the layout of Longteng Group is.

I'm not afraid of others getting stuck at all, and I'm not afraid that others won't sell me things. For example, some agricultural products used to be cheaper to import from the United States.

Now that tariffs have been imposed, the price of products has risen a lot. On the other hand, Longteng Group has invested large-scale funds to build a raw material production base, and now the cost is constantly shrinking.

The trade war has started, and the Internet is also full of various news about the trade war.

"Dare them to do it, you can't admit it......"

"You must not admit ......"

"This is the ...... of war"

"I want to fight and accompany ...... to the end"

"What a scoundrel ...... America"

"Boycott of American ......"

Netizens on the Internet made a fuss, and the start of this trade war is not a good signal for countries around the world.

After all, a good environment is conducive to development, and now the world's first and second economies have begun to fight a trade war. It shows that the current global economic growth environment has encountered big problems.

In recent years, the economic growth of all countries has reached a point. are all looking for new breakthrough points. At the same time, the debt crisis in various countries is also increasing.

At the same time, unemployment is also increasing, which is a problem faced by all countries. Even Huaxia is like this, it's not that you can't find a job, but it's too difficult to find a suitable job.

Especially in the manufacturing industry, many factories have fled China. The labor cost of enterprises has increased, and the manufacturing industry has used industrial robots on a large scale, so that the number of jobs has been greatly reduced.

All these circumstances show that the current economic situation is grim, including in China. Local debts are rising, and real estate is hijacking local economies. The recession of the manufacturing industry is very serious, and in the face of the trade war, if you do not strengthen yourself, the whole situation is very dangerous.
