Chapter 200 Anti-dumping Investigation?

"Don't worry, what's going on?" Li Quan asked in a faint voice. He has also experienced strong winds and waves, and unless there are aliens attacking the earth now, it can't be called "something happened".

Li Quan's calmness calmed down Pete to a certain extent. He cleared his throat and said, "Boss, that's right, the U.S. Department of Justice has just launched an anti-dumping investigation against us, believing that our export of super wheat to the United States involves monopoly and dumping. Not long ago, we have two batches of goods that have been detained by U.S. Customs. The U.S. Department of Justice formally summoned us and ordered us to pay a retroactive tax within a month......"

Li Quan was slightly stunned when he heard this, the U.S. Department of Justice? Anti-dumping investigations? When did you get into trouble with the U.S. Department of Justice, and why didn't you know? Who told him that flies don't bite unstitched eggs? I'm going to kill him.

Regarding the anti-dumping investigation, although he has never paid much attention to it in political class, he still has some ideas about this name, not to mention that it is not much talked about on the TV news.

Anti-dumping investigation refers to the investigation in which the importing country imposes anti-dumping duties on dumping acts that cause industrial injury to the importing country in accordance with the law, and is based on the anti-dumping law, based on the interests of the importing country's industry and its producers, and maintains the normal international trade order and the fairness of the domestic market......

In fact, it is a kind of trade protectionism that does not change the medicine.

Of course, the United States likes to play this hand the most. In particular, Trump, who has just come to power, is engaged in trade protection under the slogan of "America First".

There are two ways to consume the Super Malp produced by Heart of the Forest, one is charity distribution, which is sent to where there is a disaster, and where there is a famine. Another way is to sell it at a profit, and it sells quite well.

The main reason is that his super wheat varieties are excellent, and the price is set by him to be very cheap, not much, which is about seventy percent cheaper than ordinary wheat on the market......

Of course, Li Quan knows that since Super Micro entered the market, his peers have almost exchanged guns. With such terrifying competitiveness, almost no one was stupid enough to choose other wheat and place orders with Heart of the Forest.

The United States is a large agricultural country, but it is also a large consumer of wheat. American families can't live without bread, they can't live without pizza, and they can't leave burgers. And it's all made of flour.

Bakeries, pizza factories, and burger factories will undoubtedly choose cheaper raw material channels, and Forest Heart's Super Malt has made them a lot of money, and the cost has dropped by at least 50%.

But it also creates a problem, which is that not a ton of wheat grown in the United States can be sold.

Merchants who have tasted the sweetness are still willing to return the cost to the past, and no one is willing to pay for ***, so they continue to purchase Super Wheat from Heart of the Forest Company.

It can be said that the Heart of the Forest Company is not a monopoly now, but it is better than a monopoly. The U.S. is just one example of the whole world, with Europe, Asia, and Africa all having almost the majority of the market share occupied by supermicrophones. However, only the United States has initiated an anti-dumping investigation, which is intriguing.

"What do they want?" After thinking for a while, Li Quan asked Pete on the phone.

"Boss, the U.S. Department of Justice is asking for an additional import tax on our superwheat, as well as a surcharge. That's about ...... in total."

After listening to Pete, Li Quan almost didn't laugh.

Americans really dare to open their mouths.

Originally, he set the price of super wheat at an extremely low price, and if he paid these two taxes, he would not make money selling a ton of wheat to the United States, but would have to put in hundreds of dollars in taxes? What the hell is this?

Li Quan was speechless after calculating it, the Americans are too shameless, right?

Pete obviously knew the answer for a long time, and he asked worriedly, "Boss, what are we going to do?" Without you speaking here, I wouldn't be able to be the master of this matter. ”

"What are you afraid of. We have an old saying in China, when a soldier comes, he will block the water and cover the earth. There's always a way. Li Quan laughed on the phone.

"What water?" Pete was confused.

"Uh, forget it, nothing." Li Quan coughed dryly and said, "I'll tell you what to do." ”

"Please ask the boss for advice!"

"Less sycophancy. Listen," Li Quan scolded with a smile, "Immediately stop the external sales of super wheat and convert all the sales shares into charity distribution shares for me." Well...... Permanent. ”

"Boss, are you serious?" On the other end of the phone, Pete wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.

"Of course. I'm not kidding you. Didn't they say I had a monopoly on the market? Well, I don't make money from it, it's all for nothing. See what he says? Li Quan said with a wave of his hand.

He has a lot of money and can afford to play. As long as it is a plant and can be grown, he will have as much as he wants. In essence, the purpose of selling and distributing is actually the same, which is to solve the problem of world hunger, and then pave the way for his next grand blueprint to promote the progress of human society.

Don't forget, it's not just the plane of power, the Earth is now his, though no one will openly admit it.

"Uh, okay then. I'll do it. After repeatedly confirming that Li Quan was neither drunk nor sleepwalking, Pete reluctantly hung up the phone and went to carry out the order. Li Quan threw away about 20 percent of the company's profits in a single sentence, which was simply intolerable in his opinion as a CEO.

But who made Li Quan the boss behind the scenes, he was just a part-time worker. Every word Li Quan said was equivalent to a holy decree. What's more, so far, he has never seen Li Quan take a wrong step, and every time those incredible decisions will be proven to be so wise. This time too, Pete could only choose to trust Li Quan's judgment.

The next day, an announcement was made on the official website of Heart of the Forest, and you can imagine how enthusiastic the response was around the world.

Many people say that this is a feat of philanthropy and should go down in history. Originally, there were some people who questioned that the Heart of the Forest Company was pseudo-charity and made a lot of money by hype.

Heart of Forest's commitment has not only made its reputation rise again, but also put the U.S. Department of Justice on the cusp.

Correspondingly, the US Department of Justice's previous high-profile anti-dumping investigation of Forest Heart suddenly became a joke.

Those who are concerned about this matter have mixed feelings in their hearts.

It's like two boxers facing each other, one is ready to go, only to turn around and stop playing with you.

The U.S. Department of Justice was completely dumbfounded. They have been dealing with this kind of thing for so many years, and they have never seen such a posture? People don't want all the money, and there is no way to talk about dumping. How will this be played next time? Is it difficult to sue the other party for monopoly charges? Are you kidding! Monopoly what, monopoly charity?

The people who are behind the scenes are also dumbfounded.

Of course, someone is behind this. Who's behind it? It was none other than Mr. Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, who had returned last time.

In an office in the United Nations building, there was a crackling sound and an expensive vase was smashed to pieces.

Mr. Deputy Secretary-General angrily scolded the US Department of Justice for its incompetence, and such a simple thing could not be done for him. What a bunch of rice buckets, wasting taxpayers' money in vain!

Jingle the bell, and the desk phone rings.

Mr. Deputy Secretary-General picked up the phone, frowned and said, "Hey, I'm Johnson." ”

"It's me, Johnson. What you asked me to do......" A faint voice came from the phone.

Before the voice could finish speaking, Mr. Deputy Secretary-General said indignantly: "Tell me what the hell is going on? Even though the written document of the anti-dumping investigation has been issued, does the other side not know that this is a violation of US law? Do they want to continue to develop the market in the United States? ”

"Uh, Johnson, you don't know......" The voice on the other end of the phone looked helpless.

"What do I not know?" Mr. Johnson frowned.

"The other party paid back the tax......

"Paid back taxes?"

"Yes, a penny is not a lot, and we have paid all the fines. And then ......"

"And then you won't sell it?" Johnson's face was a little strange.

"Yes. I never expected Heart of the Forest to do that. It's also stupid. They would rather cut off their arms than pay taxes to the United States. I heard that the leader of the other party is Chinese......"

"No, it's nothing to do with the Chinese. It's that person, it's that person's decision...... I still underestimate him. Johnson muttered to himself, saying something he didn't understand.

"What that guy? Johnson, this seems to be the end of the matter? Are you going to pursue it further? ”

"Pursue what? Hold them accountable for monopoly? Continue to let the world see your jokes? If you want, you can do it! Johnson said politely.

"That's not what I meant......"

"That's enough, that's it. I'll take care of that. Since the other party is willing to give up such a huge profit, it only shows that the other party has a greater intention! Yes, that's right, I trust my own judgment. Otherwise, I misread him, he's a madman! ”

"I agree. The leader of Heart of the Forest is a madman...... Well, goodbye, Johnson. ”

"Have a great weekend." Johnson hung up the phone and muttered again, "Idiot." ”

He walked over to the ornate liquor cabinet next to his office, poured himself a glass of whiskey on the rocks, stood in front of the airy floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the small traffic below the skyscraper, his eyes gradually revealing greed and jealousy.

He was very blushing, and he was very eager to know, how much money was behind the Forest Heart Company? Super Microphone is sent for free forever? Can they really afford it?

But the more he did, the more he wanted to get the Heart of the Forest. The companies he had previously managed were now numbers on his books, and every month he was provided with large sums of money on yachts, fine wine, and beautiful women, so that he could live such a wonderful aristocratic life.

He could imagine that if he had gained control of the Forest Heart Company, no, with only half of the controlling stake, his net worth would have swelled tenfold, or even a hundredfold! When the time comes, the President of the United States? Hmph, you have to listen to him.

Johnson's face was cloudy for a moment, and without a drop of whiskey in his glass, he walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. "Hey, I'm Johnson......"

Late at night.

Heart of the Forest, headquarters in Burundi, East Africa.

Li Quan doesn't need to sleep now, and the plant essence he absorbs every day provides him with a steady stream of energy, and as long as he wants, he can even skip eating and drinking. As long as there are seeds, and plants can be grown, he can survive. This becomes even more evident with the unlocking of the Plant Fusion feature.

This is only the primary fusion stage, as the fusion stage improves, the more advanced the benefits he can get from the plant in the later stage, and finally transform the life of the plant into his life use, will it be the legendary immortality?

In order to become an old immortal one day, Li Quan has been practicing plant fusion diligently in the past few days. Spend a lot of time on this every day. There has been some progress in the last two days, and the integration process has become much more proficient.

Li Quan sat cross-legged - in fact, there was no need for this, but he felt that this was more exemplary. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was not open, motionless, like an old monk in a trance. No one could have imagined that at this moment his spirit was being passed back and forth between several plants several kilometers away.

Suddenly, he was a tree, and he felt that he was hard and wet, because of a rare light rain in the mountains of Burundi not long ago. Suddenly, he shifted to a small grass, his perspective prostrate on the ground, clinging to the ground, and he felt an earthworm wriggling under him, and his leaves were stained with dewdrops, so he shook them a few times and shook them off. Then, he transferred his spirit to another large tree, which was thousands of meters away from the place just now, and his spirit could still come in an instant.

"Huh?" The big tree suddenly snorted, it was sent by Li Quan. Of course, it is impossible for anyone else to hear unless someone can speak the language of the tree.

Li Quan's spirit quickly shifted to another tree in the jungle in the distance. His divine sense sensed some movement here, and his spirit immediately shifted.

I saw a team of guys in dark green camouflage uniforms, taking advantage of the night to sneakily march in this jungle. All of them were heavily armed and well-armed, with night vision devices and automatic rifles, and they didn't look like good people.

Looking in the direction they were traveling, it was the Heart of the Forest headquarters about two kilometers away.

"These people don't look like locals, they should have sneaked in from the Burundian border. There were no marks on his body, so he was obviously prepared. ”

Li Quan's spirit is constantly passed from tree to tree, and these people are observed up close. These people all marched in an orderly manner in silence, and appeared to be well-trained. But he was unaware of Li Quan's existence.

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Quan's mouth sitting on the bed, and his spirit still divided to track down these people.

"It seems that these guys are not dead yet, since they have broken into my territory, then you are welcome. These Yankees are going to stay here and use them as fertilizer for the forest......"

A cold light flashed in Li Quan's eyes.
