Chapter 444: A Huge Fine
"What, the Golden Island has officially announced its immigration policy and economic and tax policy?"
Rice country, White House.
At the morning meeting as usual, Mr. President immediately received such a piece of news that made him feel very surprised.
Recently, the Mi army has been busy searching for the terrorist organization with high-tech weapons and biological and chemical weapons and equipment in North America, although according to the intelligence provided by the CIA, they have also grasped some of the whereabouts of the other side, and are carrying out military anti-terrorist encirclement and suppression operations.
However, for Octopus Island, the attention given by the United States is still very high.
To the surprise and surprise of Mr. President, it had only been less than a week since their intelligence officers' investigation report on Octopus Island was submitted, and they had no news of such a major news beforehand.
And according to the latest news report in the morning, some pictures of infrastructure construction on Octopus Island were made public, as well as the beautiful natural scenery presented by the entire island, which obviously did not match the investigation information provided by their intelligence officers.
Angered by the news, Mr. President summoned the intelligence chiefs and questioned them about the lax work of the intelligence services, and all the information submitted to him was outdated.
It's just that Peter, the intelligence head of the United States, is also very depressed, and the intelligence officers they sent have not been smooth in their infiltration of Octopus Island, and they can't stay on Octopus Island for a long time, so they were found to be exposed, and then forcibly expelled, and the next time they infiltrate will have to wait at least for more than ten days and half a month.
In good conscience, the intelligence information provided by those intelligence officers was the latest to be collected by them and sent back as soon as possible.
However, to the surprise of the intelligence chief, the development speed of the Octopus Island is too fast, and their intelligence officers infiltrate those caravans to infiltrate the Octopus Island to conduct investigation activities, and the latest progress information is only available every two weeks or so. But when these information came up, the pace of development of Octopus Island was very fast, which naturally made those dynamic data past the shelf life, and they couldn't do anything about it, who let the development of Octopus Island be too fast.
It's just that the intelligence chief, in the face of Mr. President's anger, can't vent his complaints in this way. This matter was explained.
After listening to the explanation, Mr. President's expression was very troubled, this octopus island made their army unable to advance half an inch, and the speed of development was so rapid, but they could not effectively contain it.
Even if they united with those younger brother countries to customize a blockade plan and crack down on some smuggling activities of sea materials, they still couldn't stop those greedy businessmen from taking risks for the sake of profit, and still continued to smuggle all kinds of materials and even arms and weapons to Octopus Island. This phenomenon cannot be stopped at all.
At this time, the president's female secretary handed over a statistical report, and the president picked up the information and read it, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
It can be said that there has never been such a headache in the whole world, just like the new initiative made by Octopus Island this time.
The president can see that the other side will accelerate the pace of population growth in order to solve the sparse population and serious labor shortage in Octopus Island under the condition that the infrastructure is rapidly established.
And the other party announced the policy. The most interesting thing is the relaxed business tax policy announced by the small island state, that is. As long as anyone is willing to develop a business and invest in the eastern part of Octopus Island, and register a company, Octopus Island will offer the most favorable tax policy, as well as some additional benefits and incentives.
In particular, the tax policy for offshore company registration can be said to be more attractive than the Cayman Islands, and the low tax policy of Nevada and other places that attract the attention of businesses from all over the world. It can be said that it can become the most reasonable tax haven for large multinational enterprises and a great benefit for capitalists.
And what makes Mr. President of the United States feel even more terrible is the financial system that Octopus Island took the lead in establishing, and the strategic cooperation between the currency and the euro and the soft currency, coupled with this terrifying tax rate policy. This is simply forcing Mi Yuan to a dead end.
Originally, in the financial field, with the rise of the euro over the years, it has affected the status of the world currency of the rice dollar, but under the confrontation between the two sides, the tentacles of the euro have not been able to extend to the Asia-Pacific region.
But now, the existence of this octopus island has broken this pattern and opened up a new landing point for the development of the euro that can fully land in the Asia-Pacific region, which can definitely be said to be a stab in the heart of the United States.
Faced with such a situation, Mr. President has carefully considered it.
If the U.S. government does not recognize the state power established on Octopus Island, nor does it recognize the currency they issue, let alone the immigration and tax rate policies they promulgate and implement, then this will greatly affect the economic development of Octopus Island.
But there is also a very serious drawback, the current world economic development, has shown diversification, transnational and cross-regional enterprise cooperation is frequent, so the creation of multinational group enterprises are also countless, once the United States implements the financial blockade of Octopus Island, then this will greatly affect the decisions made by those multinational group enterprises in the United States, which will also seriously affect the economy of the United States.
After all, those multinational groups are more focused on economic interests, and when they are already able to influence the economic development of a country, when the country's decisions conflict with the development of their enterprises, the president knows better than anyone what the greedy capitalists will choose.
Moreover, not all countries in the world are of the same mind as the United States in this matter.
Especially those European countries that have a very ambiguous attitude towards this small island country, once the United States implements a more ruthless blockade policy on Octopus Island, this will be more serious and will cause the small island country to completely fall into the arms of Europe and other countries, so that the euro can completely gain a foothold in the Asia-Pacific region, which is extremely unfavorable to the currency status of the rice dollar.
If it were other small countries, they would dare to confront the United States like this, and the United States would not mind using advanced military forces to beat them back to their original shape before the confrontation was formed, so that they could lick the wounds of more than ten years and recover slowly.
But this Octopus Island is completely different, with that hellish defensive barrier, which makes the military strength of the United States completely an ornament. It does not have the slightest deterrent effect, even if it wants to bombard with missiles, it cannot find a target, and can only watch the rapid development and growth of this island.
However, when Mr. President became more aware of the urgency of curbing the development of this small island nation, he thought about it and decided to invite the heads of business and important enterprises in the country's economic field first. Have an in-depth meeting.
As a result, letters of invitation were sent out in the presidential palace and sent to the desks of the heads of large multinational corporations that can influence the economic development of the country.
After reading the invitation letters, some of the leaders of the large conglomerates had a very straightforward attitude, and they also looked down on a poor and backward island like Octopus Island, and said that they would go to the forum in person. There are also some people who have a more ambiguous attitude, saying that they have been busy with business recently, and they will consider participating if they have time.
However, there are also a few group leaders who disdainfully threw the invitation letter into the trash after reading the content of the discussion on the invitation letter.
For example, the group enterprises that have risen in recent years. In the field of cutting-edge chips and semiconductors, it has completely surpassed established companies such as INTEL and IBM in the United States, and occupies half of the cutting-edge chip products. Titans.
Another example is Johnson, the head of the Tiger Investment Group, who occupies a place on Wall Street in New York and has a growing influence. Tiger.
Another example is the head of Ambra Biomedical Group, the second largest biological enterprise in the United States. Tara.
The heads of these groups are simply touching the tiger's ass in response to the invitation letter sent by the presidential office of the United States, inviting them to sit down and discuss the relevant strategies for dealing with and curbing the economic development of Octopus Island.
They were cultivated as the base island and appointed the high-level biological people of the United States to establish a development enterprise, and they have absolute loyalty to the base island and the commander Yu Xiaohu, and let them participate in the symposium to deal with their masters. This is simply not possible.
Moreover, Yu Xiaohu also issued instructions to them earlier. They want them to launch a plan to snipe at the United States economy in the near future, deliberately let the United States government sue Tantai and Ambra for the anti-monopoly bill in the field of cutting-edge chips and cutting-edge biologics, let them fight a lawsuit with the United States government to attract global attention, and then give the United States a more ruthless blow to the bottom of the kettle, so that the relevant market of the United States will fall into serious turmoil, thus bringing important impact on its economy.
So on this. The three high-ranking biological people will follow the orders of His Excellency the Commander, and naturally they will not attend the symposium initiated by the White House, and even show disdain, they are deliberately preparing to give the US government an excuse to retaliate against them, and use the antitrust bill to find trouble for them and create a topic.
Then. As expected.
On the day of the White House symposium, the rival companies that attended the meeting began to attack Ambra, Tiger Investment and Tankhai Electronics Group.
At the same time, the president's secretary also mentioned to the president and some officials that when the people from their secretariat went to deliver the invitation letters, the three showed disdain, and even threw the invitation letters in the trash, which immediately caused the president and government officials to immediately reduce their favorability towards the three companies.
It was after that meeting that the White House and the representatives of the key business leaders privately agreed that there would be key merchandise trade and material trades that would refuse to supply any merchants related to Octopus Island in order to curb the economic development of the small island nation.
But as for whether those people will really implement the implementation, this is also something that no one can guarantee, after all, those companies that attend, they have potential competitors, you don't do any business related to Octopus Island, and you won't have any business dealings, but some other competitors will do it and will go to Octopus Island to invest.
Although they do not focus on a backward small island country to confront, how can the United States allow competitors to take advantage, which determines that when they put their own interests first, they will only implement those strategies of the White House without hindering their own interests.
However, just after this symposium, the Mi government found that the other party has had serious monopoly behaviors on the world's cutting-edge chips and cutting-edge biomedical devices and other products over the years through an investigation of Ambra and Tantai Electronics Group.
In particular, Tiger Investment Group, some of the high-tech industries they mainly invest in have the vast majority of shares and management rights, and also control a considerable part of the upstream industries of the infrastructure industry in the United States, which makes the government somewhat unexpected, but I did not expect that the Tiger Investment Group in recent years, actually extended its hand to the basic industrial system of the United States, and is suspected of monopoly, which is absolutely not allowed by the United States government.
As a result, the Investigation Bureau of the United States Government quickly took this as an excuse to rectify the industrial chain and order the other party to temporarily operate its activities, and took the three companies to court with the anti-monopoly bill.
After these three of the world's largest enterprise groups were brought to court, when the court tried the case, it hardly summoned any human or physical evidence of the defendant at that time, but only issued a detailed investigation report and then made a judgment sentencing the three companies to a huge fine of 104.5 billion meters.
After this news was exposed, it immediately caused a global sensation.
Since then, the three companies have adopted some illegal investigative methods against the Anti-Monopoly Law Investigation Bureau of the United States government, and the court has not publicized the supporting materials issued by the three companies and some key figures have not appeared in court, and even the lawyer teams of the legal departments of the three companies have directly pronounced the verdict without receiving the process of the court asking them to defend themselves, and the whole process has been announced to the world, which has caused an uproar around the world.
At the same time, after this news report came out, people in the public also criticized the unfair law enforcement of the judicial department of the United States, and even many unemployed people who were fined heavily for three companies began to take to the streets to demonstrate.
In addition, a new type of infectious syndrome has recently appeared in the United States, which is called rust spots, and after being infected, the patients will show large rust spots all over their bodies, which will cause a series of adverse consequences, and even lead to suffocation and death.
But even so, the news of the outbreak of a new disease rust spot in the United States has been revealed, coupled with the increase in the unemployment rate caused by the layoffs of the three major companies, which has suddenly caused serious turmoil in the domestic social order of the United States.
However, because the government of the United States investigated that the three companies had a large amount of foreign capital, and the capital controlled by the three companies did not belong to the United States, and they were also suspected of monopoly, it used this as an excuse to punish the three companies with warnings.
However, the government of the United States did not expect that they were just a warning punishment, but they brought them an extremely serious disaster. (To be continued......)
