Chapter 852

The third fire?

Wu Jie was a little surprised.

"Sante Niro...... What the hell does this old witch want to do? Isn't it big enough?"

Heintel sighed: "Now that the radical hawks have the upper hand, she has been supported to start a trade war!"

"So...... This third fire is not only to burn your group, but also to burn the international trade of the whole of China!"

After Wu Jie and Tang Xiao glanced at each other, Tang Xiao asked without a smile:

"Tell us this news in advance, you have other intentions, right?"

"Where do I have any intentions? It's just ......" Heintel smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just afraid of causing misunderstanding, after all, don't we have a lot of special information in our three companies, and we have a lot of special information in your hands?"

Tang Xiao snorted and sneered: "Then you mean that you were forced, so it is not considered a breach of contract, so we can't publish the criminal information of the three of you?"

Heintel said, "It means about the same, but ...... This is really a misunderstanding, the three of us are indeed helpless, and Mr. Tang, you should also know very well that even if we don't suspend cooperation with each other, you can only stop work and stop selling!"

"The technology patent is just a disguise, don't you Chinese people have an old saying? If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse for suppressing and bullying your group, but it is just to test the ...... of China again and again."

Tang Xiao immediately said: "I understand! In the face of national interests, what is the gain or loss of the interests of our enterprises?"

Heinzel hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, it's good that you understand, in fact, our three companies really don't want to tear their faces with you, and offending you is equivalent to offending the whole of China!"

"Those of us who start companies and run enterprises work hard not to make money! As a result, those who engage in politics have to toss, and I ...... it."

Tang Xiao interjected: "Okay, it's good for everyone to know it, anyway, if the cooperation is suspended, let's pause, and see what kind of outcome the confrontation between countries will be!"

"Okay! If there is any special situation in the future, we will contact you through this number!"

Tang Xiao hummed and hung up the phone for Wu Jie.

Waiting for the red light at the intersection, Wu Jie stopped the car.

Turning his head and glancing at Tang Xiao, he said with a smile:

"I suddenly feel that it is not easy to be an entrepreneur!"

Tang Xiaowan smiled.

"Otherwise, how can there be an old saying, called 'the people don't fight with the officials'?"

Wu Jie smiled.

Outside, the sky was dark again.

Wow!

Lightning suddenly lit up the city, followed by a loud boom.

"This rainstorm is even more powerful than the late night!"

As soon as the words fell.

The downpour fell from the sky, and the whole city seemed to be turned into a water curtain cave.

Even worse than this weather is the rapidly changing situation.

It's not.

Shortly after arriving at the group's headquarters, Sunset hastily reports that a major battle is about to break out between the two countries.

It didn't take long to wait, and sure enough, news came out from the side of the US imperialists.

It was nine o'clock in the evening local time.

The president signed a trade control order that will increase tariffs by 40 percent on products such as network information, electronic instruments, aerospace, machinery and equipment from Asia and Europe in the next year, starting at midnight in three hours.

The explanation given is that although the cherry blossom virus epidemic is over, it has had a very serious impact on social production and life, and they need to reduce imports, expand domestic demand, support the development and growth of local enterprises, and solve the employment ......

In short, they chose to raise tariffs for the sake of post-disaster reconstruction.

The reason is high-sounding, and people can't find fault with it.

For many US imperialist enterprises and people, of course, they are the happiest.

This means that companies can quickly expand their market share with little competitive pressure.

It also means that many people who have been displaced and laid off due to the virus epidemic can find jobs and live and work in peace and contentment.

The new US imperialist secretary of state, Sante Niro, who vigorously promoted this policy, naturally increased his prestige and popular aspirations.

It's just that......

Such a closed country is really a critical blow to international trade.

And so!

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

Because this control order does not cover all countries in Asia and Europe without discrimination.

Instead, there is a detailed list of countries, companies, and products, all of which are very clear.

Huaxia Tanglong Industrial Group, which is the number one target of suppression and bullying, is of course at the top of the list.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 Chinese enterprises and more than 100,000 kinds of products among them.

In contrast, there are almost few enterprises and products from other countries, and they have not exported much to the United States imperialism before.

A discerning person will know that they have been used to make up the numbers.

This trade control order is clearly targeted.

So......

After Sante Niro became Secretary of State, the third flame of the new official was lit.

This fire is not small.

What is the concept of a 40% tariff?

The cost of international trade is not low, and freight and customs duties are already very burdensome.

In the past, the total cost of exporting products in the past was 1,000 dollars, and there was still a profit to be made by selling 1,000 dollars.

But now, the cost has suddenly become 1,004, and the price has to be sold at 15,000, will the customer still buy it?

Of course, it is better to spend 1,002 to buy their own domestic goods of the American imperialists.

Originally, 'Made in China' is synonymous with good quality and low price.

Exports have passed, prices have skyrocketed, who will buy them?

The skyrocketing tariffs are actually equivalent to a disguised 'ban on exports', but it is relatively euphemistic.

After all, which company would be willing to trade at a loss?

But......

Before, it was Tanglong Industrial Group that suffered alone, and now it is Huaxia enterprises that are collectively on the list.

And so it goes.

Those companies that trade and export will definitely have a big impact on their business.

Because the US imperialists have increased tariffs, its allies and many younger countries will inevitably take corresponding action.

The loss of export orders means that the company's revenue is reduced.

If the boss can't make any money, can the employees still make money? If there is no salary cut or layoffs, it will be good.

Really!

Soon after this trade control order was issued, many countries announced similar policies.

The international trade situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The stock market, which was the most responsive, of course, quickly fell sharply.

Especially those listed companies engaged in export trade such as clothing, textiles, machinery, and electronics, are really so green that shareholders panic.

......

Group President's Office.

The heads of several departments gathered here, and everyone's expressions were heavy.

The previous ban on suspension of work and sales, Wu Jie's three major moves, the effect is still very good.

Under the co-optation and differentiation, countries that have not issued a ban have promised that they will never embarrass the group, and those that have already issued a ban have also loosened their attitudes.

But the three giants suddenly announced that they had suspended their cooperation, and their previous efforts were wasted in an instant.

Forcibly using their technical patents and instruments and equipment will be prosecuted and heavily fined for alleged infringement.

A wave of unsettled waves!

Now this time it's a full-scale crackdown.

Except for antidote pills, all other products exported to more than a dozen countries, led by US imperialism, are subject to a heavy tax of 40%.

The profit margin is not 40%, so it's still a fart!

Originally, to do international trade was to do business in those developed countries.

In those poor and weak countries, where is the problem of survival, where is the spending power?

Nowadays, in developed countries, collective tariffs have skyrocketed.

That is equivalent to allowing the group's overseas business to be directly avoided.

So......

As an international enterprise operating globally, the group is really hurt now!

His eyes swept away, and Tang Xiao's expression was solemn.

"You don't need to worry too much, at the last meeting, what Mr. Wu said still counts, let's continue to implement the established strategic plan!"

"Anyway, the big countries are clashing and the small people are injured, this trade war will definitely not end in a short time, let's prepare for the worst!"

After a pause, Tang Xiao glanced at Cao Liangxu, the group's technical director.

"Our cooperation with the three giants has been suspended, and the resumption of cooperation is far away!"

"Those countries that have not imposed a ban on us to stop work and sales, business still has to be done!"

Cao Weixu immediately replied: "I have communicated with many domestic counterparts, the patented technology and instruments and equipment of the three giants, if you use domestic ones, 70% can be replaced, and the cost performance is better, but the remaining 30% ......"

"Looking for Mr. Wu, he said that there is a way to solve it!" Tang Xiao said neatly.

Cao Liangxu immediately smiled at Wu Jie, his eyes full of hope.

He admired Wu Jie's technical strength.

Single-handedly, in the technical competition, defeated the three giants.

This is enough for Cao Langxu to bow and worship.

Gently knocked on the table.

Tang Xiao looked at everyone and reminded:

"Although the overseas business has been seriously affected, there is no need for everyone to be discouraged!"

"This is the general environment, not our only company suffers, and we still have an antidote pill!"

"Those countries have skyrocketed tariffs, and they don't dare to raise taxes on our antidote pills, with this cash cow, are you still afraid that the two of us will cut salaries and lay off employees?"

After ridiculing for a while, Tang Xiao solemnly ordered:

"Since overseas business is not easy to do for the time being, we should concentrate on doing a good job in domestic business and scientific research tasks. ”

"Huaxia's green energy industry has stepped up efforts to build more battery swap stations, and Tang's Chemical wants to produce more batteries!"

"Tianyuan Green Energy Automobile should increase production capacity and cooperate with other enterprises to produce trucks, buses, buses, etc.!"

"Another point, the antidote pill is not a regular drug, and it is right for the group to issue benefits to employees who voluntarily receive them!"

"However, if anyone sells it for profit, it is a crime!"

Tang Xiao kindly reminded a little.

Because of the recent auction, Wu Jie has strictly limited the supply.

On the international black market, the unit price of antidote pills has approached 300,000 US dollars.

The group's employees will have regular physical examinations, and no employees are sick, and employees' relatives and friends may not use antidote pills to treat diseases.

So......

Since Wu Jie announced this benefit, many dealers around the group's headquarters building and subsidiaries have rushed to hear the news.

When I saw that it was an employee of the group, I came up to hook up and talk, and I was more enthusiastic than those who handed out flyers and sold houses on the road.

Money often unmakes the men who make it!

The demand for antidote pills is very high.

The only way to flow into the international community is through auctions in which countries participate, which are expensive.

In China, it is impossible to get the antidote pill without being seriously ill by participating in the drug trial volunteer program.

Even if you get it, it will definitely be used to save your life, and it is impossible to sell it.

So......

Buy drugs from the group's employees at a low price, and then sell them at a high price on the international black market.

If you toss it upside down, a pill may earn more than 100,000 yuan, can you not let the traffickers take risks?

Sunset reports that the pre-purchase prices offered by these dealers ranged from 500,000 to 1 million per pill.

But no matter what, the three antidote pills received by the employees can easily make millions of profits if they are sold separately.

Ordinary employees can't earn a million after working for ten years, so how can they not be tempted?

Therefore.

Before the group began to distribute benefits, many employees were already planning to sell.

And Tang Xiao's words are not strictly prohibited, but just kindly reminded.

The meeting has not yet ended.

The noon auction has begun.

The number plummeted again, to only 30,000 pills.

The transaction price of the auction also lived up to expectations, exceeding 500,000 yuan.

Seeing such a transaction price, many people showed a smile of relief.

This means that the international black market price will also rise!

Resell the antidote pills you received at the end of the month, then everyone can be a millionaire!

Of course.

They were happy, and Wu Jie's 'frenzied' limited bidding made the price of the antidote pill continue to rise, and the foreign people scolded again.

The energy points continue to soar, and you may be able to complete the seventh prize task of the system today.

Just as he was happy, Lao Tan suddenly called from the capital.

"When will the good show you say will be staged? I have waited for now, I have not seen a good show, but I have waited for a great tragedy in international trade!"

"Wait!"

Wu Jie accelerated the tapping of the keyboard, and after a while, he smiled:

"The show has begun, it is guaranteed to be exciting enough, you can take a look!"
