After receiving the official telegram notification, Yun Shi hurriedly forwarded the document led by Rigavia to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing glared and read the full text like a manual.

"Compimatum?"

"Trade sanctions?"

"Seems like yes, boss. Yun Shi looked at Ye Qing with a look of surprise and freshness on her face.

I feel like I'm watching the news, the monster industry is going to be sanctioned by Europe!

"Rigavia is so imaginative that they asked us for $500 million in compensation. Ye Qing saw the end and smiled at himself.

At the end of the ultimatum document, Behemoth Industries must make a statement within three days.

Otherwise, the countries in the EU member states that have business cooperation with Behemoth will fulfill the proposal they voted on and increase the import tariffs on Phantom Crystal mobile phones punitively.

Like Huaxia for Apple mobile phones, the EU has been setting the import tariff on Phantom mobile phones at 20% since it decided to open the market.

20% is not a small amount, but Behemoth Industries has not fought for it any lower.

As a return for opening up the market, they take a profit from each Phantom crystal mobile phone to avoid a significant loss of profits in the domestic consumer market, which is understandable.

But in the ultimatum, the tariff standards were reformulated.

If Behemoth doesn't fulfill its obligations, they will increase from 20% to 25% and 30%.

In the more than half a year since Phantom mobile phones entered the European market, Phantom mobile phones have sold a total of 50 million units. After deducting tariffs and all costs, it has brought more than 100 billion yuan of profits to the giant beast industry.

The imposition of tariffs on Phantom Crystal mobile phones will directly damage the profits of the giant beast industry.

Quite simply, users are used to the previous pricing of Phantom phones.

Suddenly raising tariffs, will the Behemoth Industry pass this part on to consumers, or will it be better to bear it silently?

Phones only drop in price over time.

At present, there has not been a situation where the price of a hot-selling mobile phone suddenly increases when the model is not updated.

After reading it, Ye Qing took a picture of the document, "Recently, the trade war between various countries has been hot, and the EU is addicted to the trade war, and you think the giant beast industry can also fight a dozen?"

"Boss, how do we reply to them?" Yun Shi glared at the ultimatum document.

……

The EU gave three days for the Behemoth Industry to think it through and reply.

It only took twenty minutes for Behemoth Industries to send an official message.

Submission to the State of Rigavia and other EU Member States:

-- Countries are welcome to increase tariffs on Phantom mobile phones.

"Gone?"

"It's really gone, the content of the document can't be mistaken, only this one sentence. ”

"Behemoth Industries, what does this mean......"

"Would you like to discuss it with a translator who is proficient in Chinese?"

When the documents came back, the delegates had just finished the meeting, they were having lunch, and none of them had left.

The delegates read the document several times, and even though it was attached in Chinese and English, they still gathered a few staff members who were proficient in Chinese to think deeply about the reply of the giant beast industry.

First of all.

The refusal of Behemoth Industries to compensate Rigavia is obvious.

Secondly, several staff members who are proficient in Chinese have figured out the attitude of the giant beast industry from it.

- Contempt!

The Chinese language is broad and profound, literally welcoming tariff increases, but behind it is Behemoth Industries, which uses a contemptuous attitude to tell those countries that raise tariffs that Behemoth Industries does not care about these threats.

This is not the result they wanted.

They were ready to bargain with Behemoth Industries, and they were also prepared for Behemoth Industries not to admit that the giant ship sank on purpose, and then the two sides were ready to argue over the evidence.

In their opinion, Phantom mobile phones sell tens of millions of units a year. A 1% increase in the EU's tariffs would result in more than $500 million in lost profits.

Asking Behemoth Industries to pay $500 million in compensation is purely a slight compensation for the damage that the country of Rigavia has suffered.

90% of Rigavia's import and export trade has been abolished, and it will not be able to recover at all in a year or two, so the loss is not more than one and a half billion?

It's okay for the giant beast industry to strike at the Rigavia country that took the initiative to break the treaty, but it is indeed a bit heavy to block the port and block the railway, and some do not give face to the EU.

With 500 million US dollars, everyone can get by on face, and they can also give an explanation to the media and the public.

$500 million is not much.

It was supposed to be a happy situation, but the Behemoth Industry flew out of contempt to refuse.

Since it was an official ultimatum, Member States could not choose to forget.

So after lunch, the delegates deliberated and decided to implement the terms of the ultimatum.

All countries that have opened up their Phantom mobile phone markets to Behemoth Industries will raise import tariffs on Phantom phones to 25% from tomorrow.

Since the tariffs have been raised, it means that countries are ready for a possible counterattack by the giant industry.

For example, they have gone against the norm by passing on some of the tariffs to consumers. Or they may ask for a price increase for another liquid bioprinting material.

They're ready to fight each other and not order liquid bioprinting materials anytime soon. Anyway, each country has a certain amount of reserves for these materials.

As long as Behemoth Industries changes its mind and is willing to pay the Rigavian state $500 million in compensation, the additional tariffs can be lifted at any time.

Notices of tariff increases were issued.

The Behemoth Industry is in the sea.

Delegates from all over the world went back to their offices to prepare for the official start of the tariff increase when the customs office went to work early tomorrow morning.

Time passed little by little, and when the clock reached twelve o'clock local time in Europe, the network department of Behemoth Industries directly shut down, the electronic key server used to verify the ghost armor production lines in various European countries.

At the same time, the ghost armor production lines in various European countries collectively lit up with red lights, and the operation screen appeared with an inoperable prompt of [Authorization Disconnected].

These lines were all on duty, and at first they thought it was just a network failure, but they waited for a few minutes and didn't see the red light go away.

One after another, they called the Ghost Armor Business Consultation Center of Behemoth Industries to inquire about the situation.

"We're sorry, but we are unable to restore your device due to a server failure in the data center for the time being. ”

"Please be patient, our technicians are in the process of repairing it. ”

"When will it be fixed?"

"I'm sorry, but we're not sure about that. ”

"It's a real accident, you play the game and you get disconnected. ”

The staff in charge of ghost armor in many countries were in contact with each other, and when they asked their colleagues, they found that all the equipment in Europe had been disconnected.

What are you waiting for, hurry up and report the news.

……

Behemoth's response was actually quite simple.

Compromise was impossible, and calls to the president's office from the European side were not answered.

Ye Qing didn't care, sitting in the factory and the company, waiting for the eighth phase of the upgrade to arrive.

Four days to go.

Regardless of what the EU thinks, when the giant beast industry is upgraded, what do you still have to do?
