Chapter 988: Black Thursday!
“…… For the domestic market, our company's promotion of wireless charging piles in Shanghai meets the living needs of the masses and the development needs of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, which is not something that the will of other countries can shake. ”
"For overseas markets, we encourage Chinese enterprises to restrain themselves overseas, abide by local laws and regulations, and be an enterprise and entrepreneur with a sense of international responsibility and in line with the expectations of the local society."
"However, our entrepreneurs are honest and duty-oriented, and it is not a reason for some people with ulterior motives to do whatever they want."
"We will closely monitor the progress of the matter and take the necessary measures at the necessary moments."
At the press conference in the City Hall, the shining camera was like a car headlight on the highway.
In front of all the domestic and foreign reporters present, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of China announced this content in a righteous voice.
Although there were no drastic words, this statement sounded the clarion call for a counteroffensive like a declaration of war.
In fact, long before this press conference, the action had already begun.
First of all, East Asia Power, a fusion energy giant that touches the sensitive nerves of the world, has very cooperatively started a self-inspection and rectification of overseas orders at the request of the environmental protection department, and the order for fusion reactor cores in California has been postponed indefinitely.
And that's not all.
Just like the U.S. Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation of Star Technology, this is just the beginning.
As the world's largest superconducting materials company, Baer Group, which has completed SG-1 superconducting materials together with Star Technology and provided superconducting magnets for the Haizhou Experimental Reactor, has issued relevant announcements on the heel, for various reasons, in short, it has suspended receiving orders from North America.
The impact of this move on the Baer Group is also not small, but as a subsidiary of the state-owned China Airlines Group, sometimes it is not entirely based on profit as an indicator of the performance of the top leaders.
But for the fusion power plants under construction in California, and for the companies whose interests are tightly tied to them, they are simply pushed to a dead end, even worse than the delay of the core project.
There is no other reason.
The core itself is next year's thing, and even if there are some twists and turns, they have a full year to repair relations with Huaguo.
But the SG-1 material is different.
This thing is a key material in the construction of superconducting magnets used to confine ferrofluids, and if this thing is out of stock, the entire project will have to be stopped.
For those power companies and utilities that have put almost their entire fortunes on this fusion power station, the fusion power station will come online one day later than expected, which means huge losses of millions of dollars.
And then there's aerospace.
On the grounds of infringing on the intellectual property rights of Chinese enterprises, the relevant departments of the Chinese side accepted the report submitted by the Hangke Group, and included the two US construction units involved in the "Deep Space Gate" lunar space station project as the targets of investigation in the intellectual property infringement cases.
It stands to reason that China has no right to interfere with the US project on the moon, and in fact China did not do so, because there is no need for that.
More than 90 percent of the transportation projects in the Earth-Moon transfer orbit segment of the Deep Space Gate program are contracted by Star Technology's Queqiao, and even Space-X's own cargo.
Others can't take care of it, but it's still easy to manage your own people.
Almost at the same time as the infringement investigation was launched, Star Technology immediately complied with the requirements of the relevant departments and suspended its cooperation with the space launch missions of the companies on the list.
For a while, not to mention the construction progress of the Deep Space Gate was suspended, and even the supply of construction personnel was cut off!
The most innocent of them, in addition to the two US space companies that have been sanctioned, may be NASA.
In order not to delay the construction plan, and to appease the staff in lunar orbit, Director Carson had to urgently contact the Space Launch Center in Houston and dragged out the BFR rocket, which was originally intended for the follow-up project of the Ares program, but is now being put in storage to eat dust, and barely cope.
With the weight of the Earth-Moon transfer orbit of the BFR, it is more than enough to send a batch of supplies.
However, looking at the launch cost that rose by an order of magnitude, Director Carson couldn't say a word except for crying.
This thing is really, people sit at home, and the pot falls from the sky.
And it smashed into the head!
From controlled fusion to aerospace, countermeasures from China poured down in an instant like a long-suppressed rainstorm.
And what's interesting is that all countermeasures seem to have a common feature, that is, the fields involved are more or less related to Professor Lu or Star Technology......
Being dizzy by this sudden rainstorm was not only unexpected, but not only Behm, but also the entire Wall Street.
Almost no one would have doubted that Hua Guo would definitely react, but even if they were prepared to deal with the shock, they still did not expect that this moment would come so suddenly!
And so strongly!
Just two days ago, many investment banks held a meeting to analyze the operational strategy still stood still, waiting to see what happened before the Chinese official spoke.
If the response is strong, it will reduce its position moderately, and if China does not react or simply calls for the US to calm down, then it can consider taking a heavy position in ExxonMobil or Tesla stocks to get a piece of the "hunt".
However, there is no doubt that almost the entire Wall Street trader has lost his calculations.
At this moment, the New York Stock Exchange is already crying wolf.
"God! They can't do that! ”
"Indefinite order suspension for environmental reasons! Is the reason for this deception to take people for fools? Can't they keep a little bit of the spirit of the contract? ”
"This is Chiguoguo's revenge! These damned barbarians! Can't they use some civilized means! ”
The aerospace sector has suffered a heavy setback across the board!
Western power-related stocks collapsed collectively!
In particular, those listed companies whose value has doubled because of their successful participation in the California fusion power station project seem to have been beaten back to their prototypes overnight, from a phoenix hanging high on a branch to an excellent object in the eyes of major speculators.
I don't know if it is to stabilize the mood of the market or to vent the grievances in the heart, the Wall Street Journal wrote an article in the latest issue of the newspaper commenting that China should not expand the scope of the attack to areas unrelated to the new energy industry, which will not help resolve the dispute, but will only escalate the dispute.
As soon as this article came out, it immediately attracted countless retweets from North American media.
Almost all of North America's media, pages related to current affairs, are reporting on this sudden shocking change. Even the White House, which has been bewildered by the influx of countermeasures, has sent a press spokesman to call on the Chinese side to remain calm.
However, it is clear that no one can buy these appeals without any concrete action and sincerity.
The bloody storm in the capital market is just the beginning.
On the Friday after Black Thursday, an even bigger riot is brewing on the streets of California.
When they heard that California had invested tens of billions of dollars in fusion power plants and might be ruined by some idiot sitting in the White House office, the citizens of California couldn't sit still at first......
