Chapter 165: Move the Earth
A phone call from the Ministry of Commerce made Rory very unhappy.
Because the minister just told Luo Rui that Europe and the United States and other countries have agreed to import Huarui's 'smoking cessation spirit', but there are several conditions.
The first point is that the European and American sides said that for the sake of the health of citizens, they asked Luo Rui to provide a description of the chemical composition and element composition of 'Quit Smoking', and explain clearly how harmful Quit Smoking is to the human body in the drug instructions.
The second point is that Europe and the United States have a strict review system for any genetically modified products, and if Huarui's 'Smoking Cessation Spirit' is to be sold to Europe and the United States, it must be inspected by European and American experts.
Huarui had to bring biologists from Europe and the United States into the factory to understand every step of production and confirm the dangers of quitting.
Third, Europe and the United States have always opposed the entry of any monopoly into the free market. In order to prevent Huarui from monopolizing the market, the European and American governments hope to obtain the franchise of 'Smoking Cessation Spirit', and except for the European and American governments, Huarui Company is not allowed to sell Smoking Cessation Therapy to any ordinary European and American citizens.
Huarui must ensure that QuitSmoking is only used for drug rehabilitation, and if it is violated, it will face a hefty fine.
Fourth, the sale of Quitting Smoking in China is only 9,000 yuan, which is equivalent to US$1,500, and the export sales are as high as US$2,000 to US$2,500, which is clearly commercially discriminatory.
This violates the WTO's principle of fair trade, and if the foreign sales of quit smoking do not drop to $1,500, Europe and the United States will impose a large amount of anti-dumping duties on Huarui Company to curb this unfair trade.
Fifth, Huarui Company does not sell 'smoking cessation spirits' to ordinary Chinese citizens, and Europe and the United States have reason to suspect that Huarui Company is cooperating with the Chinese government to protect the tobacco market in China.
If 'quit smoking' is sold to ordinary citizens in Europe and the United States, it will destroy the tobacco market in other countries. Europe and the United States are entitled to argue that Huarui and the Chinese government have colluded to undermine the tobacco markets of other countries and affect trade fairness. By imposing sanctions on Huarui Company, Europe and the United States will prevent Huarui Company from obtaining advanced molecular machines and deal the most serious blow to Huarui Company.
The five conditions proposed by Ou Mei are almost unacceptable to Rory.
Announcing the various elements and ingredients of QuitSmoking and accepting European and American experts to test every aspect of production is almost equivalent to telling them all about the production method of 'Quit'.
With the capabilities of Europe and the United States, it is very likely that smoking cessation will be counterfeited.
The export price of 'Smoking Cessation Spirit' was also set at US$1,500. This is also very unhappy for Rory, who originally wanted to make more money from foreigners. How much the price is is Huarui's business, if they don't sell it, why should they let themselves reduce the price. Treat domestic preferential treatment, that is the right way, treat foreigners, and give them preferential treatment for Mao.
Luo Rui was already angry, and said to the Minister of Commerce on the other end of the phone: "Minister Wang." Please help me convey to those bastards in Europe and the United States that it is they who lose if they do not import 'quit smoking', not mine, and I will not accept their harsh conditions. The domestic market is enough for me to produce smoking cessation. Lao Tzu stopped exporting to them. ”
Luo Rui's anger made the minister on the other end of the phone a little worried: "Luo Rui, business matters, don't be rash!" Quit smoking can bring huge benefits to Huarui. It can also bring huge tax revenue to the country, and if it is not exported to Europe and the United States, it will bring huge losses.
After all, there are as many as 200 million or 300 million drug addicts in Europe and the United States. Even if you sell it for $1,500 a bottle, that's a $150 billion to $300 billion business! You calm down. ”
Lowry is still unhappy: "I'm already very calm, my 'quit smoking' can save the lives of many drug addicts and reduce the cost of treating drug addicts by more than 100 billion dollars a year for Europe and the United States." Lao Tzu let them get a lot of light, and he wanted to trap me.
Nima, they don't buy it, and I don't beg them to buy it. Lao Tzu saved the lives of those foreigners, he didn't thank me, and threatened Lao Tzu with one anti-dumping at a time, and Huarui Company was a 'monopoly enterprise'. Nima! I monopolize it, and if they don't buy it, I sell it to the country. Don't ask for them, anyway, the domestic market is so big, it's enough for me to be busy. ”
On the other end of the phone, the Minister of Commerce was also anxious, the export of quit smoking spirit can allow the Chinese government to obtain tens of billions of dollars in tax revenue, and Luo Rui's impulse, not exporting, will likely make the tax waste.
The minister immediately persuaded with great difficulty: "Rory! You must think clearly, the high-level molecular machines you produce 'Quit Smoking' are all imported from abroad, if you don't cooperate with Europe and the United States, they will sanction Huarui Company, and at that time, you won't be able to buy those high-level molecular machines, and the expansion of 'Quit Smoking' may be in vain! ”
Luo Rui was even more angry: "I hate others threatening me the most. The foreigners decided that I had to rely on their advanced molecular machines to produce 'quit smoking', thinking that I was afraid of their sanctions, and that I had to submit to them!
I rub it, I want to help their citizens get off drugs, and I want to protect the tobacco industry. They want me to sell it to them cheaper. I want the horses not to eat the grass, and I want the horses to grow well, how can there be such a good thing. Tell them that I won't export smoking cessation to them, let the United States and Europe die 1 million more drug addicts every year, let them spend more than 100 billion dollars a year to treat drug addicts, anyway, it is not our citizens who die, and I don't want to spend money, they lose even more. ”
"Oops! Rory, it's not me who speaks for Europe and the United States, you also think for their government. Once the cessation of smoking is sold publicly, the tobacco industry in various countries will be wiped out by you. At that time, countries will lose a lot of tax revenue, and many people will lose their jobs, so you can also help other governments think about it! ”
"There's nothing to talk about. If I don't allow quit smoking to be sold publicly, I won't sell it. If you want me to lower the price, no way. I want to use sanctions to restrict the import of molecular machines to choke my neck, so that Huarui Company cannot expand production, I wipe! It's a big deal that I'll develop the machinery industry myself, and they won't cry when the time comes. ”
After Luo Rui finished speaking, he hung up the phone unceremoniously.
Annoyed, Luo Rui directly announced a message on the official webpage of Huarui Company: "Due to the deliberate difficulties of Europe and the United States and other countries to prevent the sale of smoking cessation to citizens, Huarui Company has decided that 'Smoking Cessation' will not be sold abroad for the time being, and only meets domestic demand." ”
After the announcement on Huarui's official website was posted, it was forwarded on Weibo in less than an hour, and soon the news passed through the Internet. It went viral, and a few hours later, it made global headlines again.
Luo Rui never expected that the announcement he issued would be as powerful as a nuclear bomb.
Just after Huarui Company announced that it would not export smoking cessation spirits, one of the largest demonstrations broke out in Europe and the United States.
In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, drug addicts and smokers account for 60% of the total population. For these people, quitting smoking is not a panacea, it can help them get healthy and save a lot of money.
In order to protect the tobacco industry, the government set up various restrictions on the import of smoking cessation spirits, which eventually angered Huaxia and Luo Rui, and as a result, Huarui Company no longer sells 'smoking cessation spirits' to foreign countries. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for European and American citizens. Because quitting smoking is related to their health, to their lives, to their property.
Munich in Germany, Paris in France, London in the United Kingdom, New York in the United States, and other developed countries, more than 100 major cities. Angry people were rallying and a worldwide march broke out.
Citizens of countries who have been victims of drugs and tobacco have taken to the streets in anger to oppose the restrictions imposed by the government on the import of 'smoking cessation spirits'. Shout out all sorts of earth-shattering slogans.
"There is no uglier person in this world than a politician. They boast that quit smoking is the 'nemesis of drugs', and on the other hand, they want to protect tobacco. For the sake of taxes, stop smoking cessation from being sold to citizens. We must oppose such outrageous acts. ”
"Drugs have taken a lot of lives, quit smoking will save a lot of lives, the government is trying to prevent quit smoking from entering the free market for the sake of tax revenue, this is murder, I want to sue the government for murdering us drug victims."
"The U.S. keeps talking about free trade. Since trade is free, why do you ask Huarui to only give you the right to sell 'Smoking Cessation Spirit', and not let ordinary smokers buy Smoking Cessation Spirit? Is this fair? Is this free? ”
"Falk Oil and Tobacco Company, they are for money, they don't care about the health of citizens, and they prevent smoking cessants from entering the free market, they should be sanctioned, they are trade protectionism."
"Shameless bastards, black-hearted tobacco companies, they see that the 'quit smokers' will defeat the tobacco companies, and for the sake of wealth, they can only ask the government to protect them. Tobacco companies still want to keep sucking the blood of us smokers.
These vampires are united with the government, they are in collusion of interests, they have lost their conscience. Every citizen who wants to quit smoking and drugs, please unite and we will defeat the shameful interest groups led by the government. ”
"Drug use is bad for health, and smoking is bad for health. Smoking cessation can restore our health, and every citizen has the right to be healthy. Blocking smoking cessation from entering the free market is preventing us from gaining health, which is a violation of human rights. We want freedom, we want human rights, we want health, and we want to oppose shameless governments and tobacco companies. ”
"I know of a large number of congressmen in the United States who have accepted donations from tobacco companies, and for the sake of huge profits, they prevent smoking cessers from entering the free market, and they prevent us from getting healthy, which is an evil act. Justice will surely triumph over evil, and all righteous people in the world are invited to stand up and fight against the forces of evil to the end. ”
"The government is trying to keep citizens from quitting drugs and smoking for the sake of taxes, they are the biggest drug lords, they are taking our lives. We must oppose it to the end. ”
"God has given us the power to live, and by preventing smoking cessers from entering the free market, we who are deeply affected by drugs are being prevented from gaining the right to live. We should be in God's place against evil government. ”
"To be free, to be healthy, not to tobacco, not to drugs, we need a clean world."
"Tobacco brings a lot of tax revenue to the country, but we pay a lot of money every year to buy tobacco. If there is a 'quit smoker', each of us smokers will reduce a lot of expenses, the government will stop us from quitting for the sake of taxes, and they will also want to rely on tobacco to snatch a lot of money out of our pockets, we must stop this robbery, we must support the quit smoker. ”
The procession, in addition to opposing the government's restrictions on the import of 'smoking cessation spirits', angered Huarui.
There were also groups organized by tobacco companies and tobacco farmers who were demonstrating with slogans such as 'support the government' and 'against smoking cessation'.
But the demonstrations of tobacco farmers and tobacco companies are like the gap between ants and elephants compared to the crowds that support quitting smoking.
The whole world is in chaos, and this kind of world parade posture is estimated to appear only when a world war breaks out. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, governments have to mobilize all their police forces and go all out to be on alert.
Luo Rui didn't expect that his order announcing 'banning the export of smoking cessation spirits' would bring such a big reaction and have affected the whole world.
Originally, Europe and the United States thought that Huarui would agree to their terms under the pressure of the threat of sanctions, but now, everything has changed.
The huge marches in various countries have brought them unprecedented pressure, and as a democratic government, offending tens of millions, hundreds of millions of citizens, that is the rhythm that does not want to mix.
Now, it is up to governments to put down the anger of smokers and drug addicts, and how to keep tobacco farmers from losing their jobs, which has become their most serious social problem.
If it is not well controlled, the consequences will be serious, and at the very least, the government agencies will be ousted.
At worst, it can turn into violent conflict, creating an uncontrollable situation.
I have to admit that at this moment, Rory has pried the earth, and the smoking cessation spirit has affected the world. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
