The market share of the tin toy factory in the field of toys can reach 38%, which is more than half of the distance, forming a monopoly, and it is still early.

Xu Fei's mind is now full of Hazara devils, and he doesn't care about the news spread on the Internet.

However, when he went to work the next day, he suddenly found that the entries suspected of monopoly in the tin toy factory had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the whole network was all over the world overnight.

Not only the three major portals in China, but also the forums of Whoosh Fox, Yiwang, and Xinlang, and even the newly launched Yahoo community overseas have been drowned out by the voices of the 'masses'.

Moreover, Xu Fei also discovered a strange place.

The accounts that made relevant remarks on the Whoosh Fox forum were all newly registered, and even the online points set up for exchanging toy gift boxes in order to attract people to the youth group and increase the number of Whoosh Fox users were not collected.

And at this time, the military division regiment and the operation center have already taken action.

The former investigates the cause, and the latter crisis public relations - delete posts and ban words.

But I only invested in Whoosh Fox, like Yiwang, Xinlang, especially the overseas Yahoo, how can I listen to us?

Just when news and information such as ABC also began to report this kind of thing, the head of the military division came to report.

"Factory director, it's been investigated!"

"Say."

"Since September, Mattel, Fisher-Price, Sisi, Ross Bear, and Kid Po in North America, and Bandai Namco, Tami, Kotobuki, and Happi in Washima have collectively suspended the production of model toys."

"September? That is to say, they cleared their inventory in October, and our market share rose sharply in November. ”

"They stopped shipping in October, and we didn't notice the first thing about the publicity effect of the championship and the devastating increase in shipments with the launch of the electric version.

Now it seems that their purpose should be to make us a monopoly in the fourth quarter, so as to facilitate the investigation and collection of evidence by the judicial authorities in North America and Wajima. ”

"Come prepared!"

Xu Fei immediately contacted the accounting firm and asked the other party to conduct a self-examination to verify whether his family constituted a monopoly.

But the judiciary is ......

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and from different angles, it is very likely to get two opposite results, otherwise what do you want the lawyer to do?

Therefore, when looking at the problem, we must trace back to the source.

"September ......"

Xu Fei walked to the small blackboard and carefully sorted out his thoughts.

In September, he held the Mechanical Three Kingdoms Smash Bros. - World Championship.

Could it be that the sensational scene has made this group of toy manufacturers cowardly? ’

"No, the three countries of machinery belong to youth toys, and they can't threaten the market of baby toys, and Sisi, Ross Bear, Kid Bao, etc., have no competition with their own families, but they are involved. ’

At this time, the girl who claimed to dare to sue Dongshan High Law walked into the office with Wen Yu, "Factory director, the self-inspection report you want." ”

"Let it go."

"Okay."

"By the way, once a monopoly is formed, what will we face?"

"A fixed amount of fines, plus a fine of 1% ~ 10% of sales, however, Europe and the United States may have other regulations, and it is not strange to make a sky-high fine, like last year, General Motors leaked fuel tank, fined 4.9 billion US dollars."

"According to the maximum 10 percent, Wajima will fine me at least 800 million US dollars, and North America will fine me at least 400 million US dollars......"

After Xu Fei finished speaking, his heart moved, "Who else was fined by General Motors last year?" ”

"Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Pingguo...... There are quite a lot of penalties. ”

"What month did it happen?"

"Probably between November and December."

Xu Fei flipped through the calendar, saw Christmas, and looked at today's date, "I think I understand, North America and Wajima are about to celebrate the New Year." ”

"What do you mean?"

"How to buy gifts for children on Christmas or New Year's Day?"

"Makes sense."

"In North America, even local companies are fined, and there is no reason to let us go."

Xu Fei returned to the office and found the financial report that had not been completed this month, "It's a pity that the iron company is in debt and can't get a penny." ”

Part of the company's so-called debt comes from the battle for Hazara crude oil and the offensive and defensive battles of the coal fields, and the public cost is 17 billion US dollars.

The first division comes from the crude oil pipeline laying project, with a total investment of 210 billion yuan, so 25 billion US dollars will be deposited in the People's Bank of China, so as not to be suspected of having no investment.

The other part comes from the R&D expenses of the Kirov airship, the test costs of skin materials, the experimental costs of ultra-lightweight carbon fibers, as well as the production costs and production equipment R&D costs, totaling 37.5 billion US dollars.

The profit of materials and helium disclosed to the public is only 11%.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that the iron company sold so many material packages, and even sold 4 airships, in fact, it didn't even earn back the cost of airship research and development.

To sum up, the iron sheet company has no money.

Xu Fei wiped off the font on the small blackboard and sat in the boss's chair, "Lei Fei Technology, Lei Pu Fei Technology, including Lei Ni Pu Fei Studio, have funded Xiao Bu, and now the other party dares to cross the river and demolish the bridge, do you really think I can't build a convertible?" ”

The law girl was slightly stunned, and hesitated: "Factory director, it is estimated that this matter has nothing to do with Xiaobu, and the anti-monopoly investigation belongs to the North American House of Representatives." ”

The head of the military division next to him added: "And, fines are not necessarily a bad thing, like General Motors, which was fined so much last year, how happy is it this year?"

It was suspected of selling M8 privately, but no one checked. The joint three-way against Carlyle, Lao Bu did not trouble Smith. Later, when we entrusted the manufacture of automobiles to us, the Congress quickly agreed, and even took care of them in every possible way.

It's all the benefits of fines. ”

Xu Fei naturally understood this truth.

Sometimes, there is some money that you can't give away if you want to.

Turning it in in this way is simply Zhou Yu beating the yellow cover.

But all the states in North America, except Texas and Massachusetts, have imposed tariffs on their own, and now the federal government is asking for money again......

Xu Fei slapped on the desk, "Don't pay!" When Chairman Forman was elected Speaker, he said in a speech: The glory of Germany cannot be tarnished, and we must be tough! ”

The law girl reminded: "If we make statistics now, our share of the toy market should exceed 80%, which is a dominant position." And since the mechanical toys hit the shelves, the price has increased every month...... In other words, we can't win a lawsuit in North America and Wajima. ”

"I'm trying to figure it out."

Changing to a hound breeding base, Rennie Pufei Studio, Leifei Technology, and Leipufei Technology, Raymond must have changed his way to find out the people who do things.

However, the iron sheet company is a German enterprise, and Director Xu only works part-time, and has no direct interest relationship with Xiaobu and Raymond.

Therefore, the anti-monopoly matter must rely on the power of Forman and the power of Germany.

However, Foreman was only the speaker of the Berlin parliament and had limited capacity, and the tin toy factory was located in the east, so it did not bring much profit to Germany.

"How long will the antitrust investigation last?"

"It takes 30 days for the initial review and 90 days for verification, and basically the results will be available within three months." The Law Maiden replied.

"30 days! If I build a new company within 30 days and let it squeeze the market share of the iron sheet company, and both parties hold 20% or 30%, will they still be judged as monopoly? ”

"It's hard to say, whether a monopoly is constituted is related to the market share and the time to occupy the market share, and the determination of monopoly includes whether the dominant market position is abused, whether the exclusive behavior is formed, and whether the interests of competitors are harmed."

"Isn't this nonsense, they are all competitors, how can they not harm the interests of the other party?"

"In short, anti-monopoly actually does not allow you to dominate, and this big does not refer to large enterprises, but to the big market."

"I see."

Xu Fei thought for a moment and looked at the person in charge of the military division, "In December, we will increase shipments, but we have to announce to the outside world that due to the debt crisis, the iron company was forced to reduce expenses, shut down part of the production line, and began to reduce staff on a large scale. ”

"What do you mean by attrition?"

"Reducing personnel, such as the existing 200,000 employees, of which 180,000 are suspended without pay, during this period, the company still bears three insurances and one housing fund and the minimum salary."

"In other words, annual leave?"

"Attrition, what annual leave?! The attrition period is tentatively set for 3 months, after the Spring Festival, the 17th of the first month is reported, and all those who do not report will be deemed to have resigned voluntarily. ”

The head of the military division nodded, "Understood." ”

In this way, the announced shipments have decreased by seven-tenths, the iron sheet company is about to go bankrupt, and the direct stores around the country cannot get the goods, but the mechanical toys are still in short supply...... Know what to do? ”

"The price has risen!"

"Smart, the price will at least double, and then hit 'I can't buy it in the future', 'buy a few more pieces as a souvenir', and even launch a 'treasure gift box', and then bind some things that can't be sold and sell them in a package."

"I know, this matter can be handed over to the operation center and the Whoosh Fox Propaganda Department."

"Of course, nominally reduced staff, but the reduced employees still have to come to work, otherwise how to increase production."

Xu Fei finished arranging work, "During this time, the company under our jurisdiction has nothing to do for the time being, help me handle the suspension of pay and leave my job, and I will go out for a while." ”

The Law Maiden wondered, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm the factory manager, do I need to report to you?"

“……”

"You come with me."

"Okay factory director!"

………

December 1st.

Due to the debt crisis, the headquarters of the Iron Sheet Company issued a notice to suspend the acquisition plan of the "Port of Hamburg Shipyard", the suspension of the public rental community project at Nos. 17, 29 and 45 Berlin-France Strasse, the suspension of the Brandenburg Gate restoration project, the suspension of the Friedrichsrue subway project, and the suspension of the construction of Foreman Park......

At the same time, the expansion plan of the tin toy factory was suspended, the Daze tin toy factory was shut down, the Liaoshi tin toy factory was shut down, and the Jingang tin toy factory was shut down......

In addition, the iron sheet energy project and the new generation Kirov research and development project were suspended, and the supply of skin materials and helium was stopped......

When the news broke, the Berlin parliament raised 2 billion euros that day, and Germany even embezzled the 460 million military funds it was ready to pay to NATO to save the iron company.

Unfortunately, Foreman suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is still unconscious and unable to serve.

And Director Xu... Director Xu disappeared on Wajima.

After selling the big coalfield, it disappeared in Wajima.

What? Back to Osawa?

No way.

No one in the village saw him.

Huang Banxia, the sales president of the Iron Sheet Company, was filled with indignation in an interview, "We have reason to suspect that this is a premeditated act of unfair competition. ”

Then, the report on Forman's diagnosis and treatment from the public hospital was posted: the central nervous system was dysfunctional, and it was suspected that external poisons eroded the body, resulting in neurotoxicity.

Later, it was announced that the vicious dog was in the port of Tokyo, looking for rare earths everywhere... No, look for the early owner's video.

The eyes full of tears, the perseverance spirit, the steps of searching with their heads down, and the vicissitudes of life when they drink wind and dew......

Instantly touched a large group of people who love pets.

Someone soon pointed out that the 'monopoly' theory circulating on the Internet was that someone deliberately suppressed the iron company, tried to buy it at a low price, and exposed the information of the 'newly registered account'.

Combined with the above incidents, netizens suddenly realized.

Immediately.

The price of mechanical toys has risen across the board, and then it has been frantically snapped up.

It is said that someone bought a full set of prefabricated types, a full set of destruction types, and a full set of grand ceremony level ...... that night

………

Wajima, Tokyo.

After a day's work, the president of Xinri Co., Ltd., Ichiro Middleman, took the small red flag presented by Director Xu, left the factory and returned home.

Although the company was unable to acquire a large coalfield, it cooperated with the Iron Sheet Company to operate the passenger transport, freight, and sightseeing business of the Kirov airship.

Wajima's industry is sluggish, and if Xinri can transform, it will not lose a way out.

Therefore, the factory renovation project began three days ago.

Passenger terminals, cargo terminals, sightseeing berths......

A lot of money was poured in, and under the light of Kirov, the results were immediately seen.

Ichiro the intermediary fantasized about a bright future, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the figure flashing outside the window, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked the driver to reverse it.

On the side of the road, a wet teenager was walking tremblingly.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Ichiro Broker?"

"It's me, what's wrong with you... Did you escape? ”

"I was kidnapped by your local gang, and while the other party was not looking, I jumped into Tokyo Bay and just swam up."

"Get in the car, let's go to the hospital first."

"No, go to your house first, I'm worried about the local gang guarding the hospital."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ichiro was so impressed by the North American GIs and Yoshino Takeuchi that he didn't dare to have bad intentions, and when he got home, he beckoned his wife to come out to entertain guests, and gathered several henchmen scattered at the intersection to monitor people coming and going.

"Mr. Xu, can Takeuchi Yoshino be trusted?"

"Don't contact him for the time being, wait until I investigate clearly."

"Okay."

Xu Fei took a shower and motioned to Ichiro's wife to avoid, "Intermediary." ”

"Hey!"

"How many years have you been at Shinri Corporation?"

"Twenty-five years."

"Do you have any thoughts of going it alone?"

"This ......"

Ichiro is the president, not the president.

In the case of a joint-stock company, the president is similar to the general manager and owns a certain number of shares, and the chairman is similar to the chairman of the board of directors and represents the interests of shareholders.

Intermediary Ichiro understood what Xu Fei meant.

In other words, he saved the nobleman, and the other party is expressing his gratitude.

"Mr. Xu, Ichiro Intermediary listens to the teachings."

"That's good, sell me the Xinri shares in your hand, and prepare the start-up capital first."

Tin Sheet was in dire need of a competitor in the Wajima toy market and the North American toy market.

Xu Fei was going to hand it over to Takeuchi Yoshino, but the identity of the other party's 'gangster' has been finalized and belongs to TEP.

Later, he plans to go to Texas and train another character like 'Yoshino Takeuchi' and 'James'.

But taxes in North America are too high, and many things are not easy to operate.

And there is the Quack Dynasty on the south stick side......

Xu Fei finally chose to come to Wajima.

The Washima market is easy to digest new things, and it is not limited by the 'arrangement' mechanism, so it can be exported in large quantities.

If a new batch of electric toys is launched, it will not be a problem to extrude the machinery of the Three Kingdoms.

"Agent, what about this ball I designed?"

"This ......"

Intermediary Ichiro looked at the rubber ball that Xu Fei was playing with, his eyes widened instantly, he was stunned for a long time, and exclaimed: "Mr. Xu, you are really a genius!" ”
