Chapter 330 Trade Sanctions
The 3.5 million tons of garbage floating on the garbage island are really not as simple as everyone imagined before they came, but as long as Chen Nuo is determined to do something, he will definitely be able to do it.
Steiner was still worried about whether the Bluestar Group would be able to take effective measures, so he reconfirmed: "Chen, are you sure that you can handle so much garbage?" ”
"Of course!" Chen Nuo said very confidently: "But let's get out of here first, it's not a pleasant way to talk about cooperation on the garbage heap." ”
Steiner laughed, and the crowd got into a kayak and left the place.
Yang Maixi, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer support her, lying on the kayak and vomiting in a hurry, and a girl from the Ministry of Environmental Protection from Huaguo couldn't bear it anymore and vomited all the food she ate at noon.
Yang Maixi has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not experienced such a bad environment, so it is normal that he can't bear it. Jiang Li is different from Yang Maixi, she has experienced wars, and even slept and ate in the pile of dead, so she is indifferent to these garbage.
After vomiting, Yang Maixi immediately turned his head and pretended to be calm and chatted with Chen Nuo with a calm face, chatting and chatting couldn't help it, turned his head and vomited again, and then turned back to chat as if nothing happened.
Jiang Li wanted to help, but Yang Maixi kept saying, "I'm fine, I'm really fine." ”
The little girl's stubborn appearance made Chen Nuo give a thumbs up, and the officials of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China had already slumped on the kayak, drowsy, this was definitely an unpleasant trip.
After five days of tossing, there were two days when the propeller of the scientific research ship was still caught in the fishing net and could not move, and finally it was the oxen that broke the river and dived under the water to twist the fishing net before the scientific research ship got out of trouble.
Yang Maixi, who returned to the base, couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep.
Chen Nuo's mobile phone had no signal in the Pacific Ocean, and it was not until he returned to the base that he saw three missed calls and several > Chen Nuo answered the message, Dai Yanfei said: "Boss, Trump just signed a new tariff bill in the early hours of this morning, imposing 25% punitive tariffs on China's rice exports, including high-tech products, with a total value of more than 300 billion meters, and these products include all the products of the Blue Star Group." ”
Dai Yanfei: "The bill will be implemented next month. ”
Dai Yanfei: "At present, the company has not issued a statement on it, if the tariffs are implemented, the price of products will also be increased in accordance with the relevant policies, and the marketing department of Bluestar Technology is currently assessing the impact of the punitive tariffs on the group, after all, according to the current trade momentum, the trade volume of Bluestar Group to the United States will approach 40 billion meters per year. ”
Dai Yanfei: "China has also taken action against the United States, and has also announced tariff measures for 300 billion rice knife goods, mainly in the agricultural field. ”
Under the construction of Chen Nuo, Bluestar Group already has its own set of operation system, even if the boss is not there, the company will not panic when it encounters things, but deal with them in accordance with the procedures.
There was also an unanswered phone call from Minister Wan, and Minister Wan must have also informed the United States about the tariff increase.
Chen Nuo sneered, this time Mi Guo's action is very big, but the effect may not be.
Because of the time difference, Chen Nuo did not call back, but sent messages back to Dai Yanfei and Minister Wan respectively, instructing Dai Yanfei to send the news reported by the media in the United States, especially the news reported on Wall Street.
The next day, Minister Wan hurriedly called.
"The UN isn't done yet?" Minister Wan's tone was a little anxious.
"It will take some time, and some equipment and instruments may have to be transported by cargo planes from Huaguo."
"Did you get any news about the product tariffs imposed by the United States?"
"The company has told me that if the United States really imposes tariffs, our products will also rise in price, as long as it does not prohibit the import of Chinese products, we will not withdraw from the United States market."
"So sure?"
"The generation gap in technology is not so easy to make up, just like if you spend an extra 1,000 yuan to use a smartphone now, you will never use a feature phone in order to save this 1,000 yuan."
Minister Wan sighed on the phone and said: "After the matter over there is settled, you should come back quickly, Huaguo has formulated many countermeasures, and you entrepreneurs need to cooperate." ”
Chen Nuo thanked Minister Wan for his kindness.
After a tiring week of sailing, Yang Maixi and others were almost overdrawn, and now they are still asleep in bed, and the United Nations chef at the base provides white porridge for everyone every day, so that everyone can recover their strength as soon as possible, and there are many important experiments to be done next.
Chen Nuo received Dai Yanfei's evaluation of the trade conflict from the media in the United States, and public opinion was also polarized.
The Wall Street Journal, which has a target for the economy of the United States, looks at this issue very pessimistically, believing that Trump's rash launch of a trade war will hurt the ordinary people of the United States, and the Blue Star Group will definitely not change the selling price of its products in the United States, nor will it change the hot sales of its products in the United States, but will impose increased tariffs on the heads of American consumers. Increasing tariffs will not benefit the country, and it will further isolate the country from the rest of the world.
The Washington Post was more excited, commenting: The R&D and production of high-tech products represented by Aurora chips in China have been supported and subsidized by the Chinese state, so there is serious unfair competition in the sales of these products in the United States, and we must increase tariffs to protect the technology enterprises in the United States.
Chen Nuo looked at the stock prices of Microsoft and Intel in the past few days, after a long period of downturn, crazy rise, it seems that the Blue Star Group said that as soon as the tariffs increase, Aurora chips and other products will be finished in the United States market, and the United States market still belongs to the local technology companies in the United States.
Steiner knocked on the door outside, and Chen Nuo put down his phone and said, "Please come in." ”
"Chen, it's okay to rest." Holding two open coconuts in his hands, Steiner said, "Drink some fresh coconut water, this thing is good for recovery." ”
"Thank you." Chen Nuo invited Steiner into the house.
"I have sent the graphic data of the expedition to the garbage island to UNEP headquarters, and the news will be announced to the public from time to time. Bluestar Group's outstanding contribution to the earth's environmental protection will be known to everyone, you are not a company that only makes money, but a company with a sense of responsibility and responsibility. ”
Steiner's praise is not an exaggeration, just ask the bosses of major companies around the world, who would go to such great lengths to come to the North Pacific for the sake of the earth's environmental protection.
Chen Nuo said: "I'm afraid that the people of the United States will not look at me like this." ”
Chen Nuo handed the mobile phone to Steiner to see, and it was the news that the United States had increased tariffs on Bluestar Group's products.
Steiner, who had just said he had just become the master, said angrily: "These selfish rice people! We're here to solve its garbage problem, but it's stabbing in the back! ”
