At noon, Kazakhstan, the city of Acre.

Li Shengli tiredly stepped off the train, got out of the platform, and saw the young man with round glasses who came to pick him up.

"It's so early, I thought we'd have to wait."

Perhaps the task was completed, Li Shengli was in a good mood and joked with the young man with round glasses.

It's just that the young man didn't bother to pay attention to it, and saw Li Shengli quickly leaning up, "Leader, something happened!" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"This morning..."

Immediately, the young man told Li Shengli what he heard in the morning, and the latter's face instantly turned cold.

It turned out that this morning, a pot similar to the Friendship Pressure Cooker appeared in various stores in Kazakhstan, which the alliance called the Grizzly Pressure Cooker.

And in terms of price, Grizzlies are half of friendship, and the huge difference, coupled with the credibility of the Alliance, coupled with the deliberate advertising of the Alliance, quickly became popular in Acre City.

And the store that originally sold the friendship pot also put up a woolly bear sign next to it, and as soon as the prices of the two were put down, people soon had a choice.

"Let's go!"

Li Shengli didn't care about his exhaustion, and after getting in the car, he went straight to the largest commercial street in Acre City.

The car was very stable, and Li Shengli walked to the store where he often walked around on weekdays.

Before I got ahead, I saw a lot of people talking.

As I got closer, I heard more talking.

"This pot is also easy to use, this morning I bought one from Aunt Alaba next door, her family doesn't have so much money, I didn't expect this to be cheap."

"How does it work?"

"Auntie said it's good, she has bad teeth, and she can eat what this pot makes."

"Really? Then you can see, my family still saved up to buy one before, and this will not need to be praised. ”

As several people spoke, Li Shengli squeezed into the crowd and looked at the friendship pressure cooker on one side of the counter, and on the right side of it, there was also a row of pots.

After looking at it carefully, the size is about the same, the style is the same, except for the label on the front, the others, even the packaging is the same.

A nameless fire poured out of his chest and reached his throat before he could hold back.

"Is this guest looking at the pot?"

"This is a new product just launched in our store, the grizzly brand pressure cooker, which uses special steel in the alliance and has gone through multiple processes."

A girl wearing local clothes saw Li Shengli's intent, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.

Li Shengli calmed down with a smile on his face.

"Beautiful lady, I haven't heard of this grizzly pot before. Why did it come out all of a sudden? ”

"Sir, you're right, we also got notified after the opening of this pot, but this pot has an alliance as a guarantee, and the quality will not be problematic, if you really need it, I can also lower it."

"Huh? Is the price negotiable? ”

"Yes sir, our store manager said that you can reduce it appropriately, you"

Without waiting for the clerk to finish speaking, Li Shengli turned around and left.

His face was as cold as frost.

After a while, the young man with round glasses also came back with news, and the news he brought back was the same as that the shops that originally sold friendship pots had grizzly pressure cookers, and even places that didn't arrange friendship pots were forced to put them on the shelves.

"Let's go, go to the business department."

Li Shengli has understood that this is the war that the alliance is waging against them, an economic war centered around the friendship pot.

When the car came to the business department, Li Shengli saw many people coming in and out, all with panic and fright on their faces.

When I came to the familiar office, the door was open, and I saw seven or eight locals chattering around a middle-aged man with a square face.

"Section Chief Wang, at such a price, we can't sell it at all."

"Wang, our order can't continue, and the current goods will be smashed in our hands if they don't do well."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't mess around."

Section Chief Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said sincerely, "Our reputation is here, and we will never let our friends suffer." ”

"Please trust me, believe in our country, and will not do anything that harms the interests of friends."

Section Chief Wang assured that he finally sent a few people away, and then saw Li Shengli and the two at the door.

Section Chief Wang didn't speak, or he said too much, and he was tired.

Sitting on the chair, he picked up the cold jar and drank it clean, and then looked at the two people who walked in.

"You saw that too?"

"I saw it, we went to the store to see it, the other party was deliberately targeting us, and there is a shadow of the alliance in it, they are persecuting the Kazakh government."

Section Chief Wang nodded, took out a cigarette, and lit it with a trembling hand.

"I know what you said, but there is no way, the other party just sees that our production capacity is limited, and we want to seize the market with a large number of low-cost products."

"Today it's just Kazakhstan, and tomorrow a few countries around us that cooperate with us will be like this, you say, what are we going to compete with?"

Li Shengli clenched his fists and was silent.

The other party used a conspiracy to suppress people, and they didn't resist at all.

"I've already reported the situation to China, wait for news."

After being silent, Section Chief Wang had no choice but to say what he didn't want to say, although this would seem very incompetent, but it was necessary.

Forty-nine cities

A figure hurriedly pushed open the office door, looked at the lady who was talking on the phone inside, and immediately swallowed the words in his mouth.

The lady wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and her gray hair was neatly groomed, and when she saw someone coming, she just pointed to the sofa next to her, and then continued.

"Yes, I see."

"Rest assured, we have contacted the production department and will reply soon."

"Yes, you can rest assured that even if you suffer a little loss, you will not damage the country's reputation."

After hanging up the phone, the lady sat down in her chair, the sorrow on her face flashing away, and her gaze was quickly replaced by determination.

"Xiao Zhang, how's the situation?"

"Leader, now we have received the latest news, half of the people want to cancel the original order, and the merchants who paid the deposit have also put forward opinions and asked for a lower price."

The lady frowned, "The situation is clear?" ”

"It has been figured out that the alliance has been imitating the 'friendship' pressure cooker for this time, and they have stored a lot, and with the production capacity of the alliance, they will soon be able to surpass us."

"The price they set is only half of ours, and we don't have a competitive advantage at all."

"This is the information that our comrades have gathered."

Xiao Zhang handed the report to the lady.

The lady pressed her eyes forward, then looked closely, and finally put down the report, "What can we do?" ”

"Leadership, if you want to solve the current dilemma, you must lower the price."

"Lower the price? What if the other party descends again? ”

"This~"

The lady took a deep breath, "You also know that the cost of manufacturing pressure cookers in our country is twice as high as that of the alliance, and we can't afford to reduce the price." ”

Xiao Zhang bowed his head, but at the moment, there was no other way than to reduce the price.

"Go ahead."

The lady reached out for Xiao Zhang to leave, and figured out a way in the house herself.

Rolling mills.

After Liu Huaimin got the news, he came to the rolling mill, and as soon as the car stopped, Yang Youning ran over with a serious expression.

"Lao Liu, the orders are gone."

Yang Youning spoke in a nervous voice, how did it become like this overnight?

Yesterday, he also planned with Chen Gong to purchase raw materials and increase the output of pressure cookers.

But after a little sleep, the sky changed.

This morning, I received a phone call from the commercial office, saying that all scheduled orders have been cancelled and production has been suspended, and further notice is needed.

When he received this call, Yang Youning also pinched his cheeks, and after making sure that it was not a dream, he asked what was going on, but the other party just replied and couldn't sell it.

What can't be sold?

Friendship pot?

Wasn't it hot before?

Yang Youning, who was in doubt, hurriedly called his old brother Liu Huaimin, but the phone kept busy and could not be called.

I waited for half an hour, and finally got in, but Liu Huaimin came to say, I'll go and say.

The two walked towards the office, and behind them, Chen Gong Wang Guodong rushed to hear the news and followed behind.

The four of them entered the office, Yang Youning took the water cup and handed it to Liu Huaimin, and then waited on the side.

"I received a message from my superiors this morning"

Liu Huaimin told the news he knew, and Yang Youning and the three of them on the side were in a cold sweat when they heard it.

"Obviously, this is not a proper competition in the market, it is an ulterior motive mixed by the alliance forces, the purpose of which is to suppress our products and reduce our foreign exchange space, so as to hit our trade with foreign countries."

"It was a premeditated, war."

There was silence in the room, a long silence.

"I'm a fairy and a man, and I can't give people a way to live!"

Yang Youning burst out, and the fire in his heart was eager to blow up that group of bastards immediately.

"Bullying, too much bullying, this bullshit alliance is doing such a thing, and it is not responsible at all."

"Holy shit, we finally opened the market, and we were bullied like this?"

Wang Guodong Chen Gong was also indignant, but they also knew that this was just an incompetent bark.

The alliance is like a mountain pressing on its head.

Especially when the other party still has a large number of mushrooms, it is even more fearful.

"Lao Yang, things are not as bad as you think."

Liu Huaimin said calmly, "We learned from the comrades of the First Machinery Department before, do you remember the previous production of the Northwest Manufacturing Plant?" ”

After being reminded by Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning remembered Yang Xiaotao's proposal, and because of this incident, they were praised by their superiors as 'selfless' and 'a good brother to the workers' family'.

"I remember that we gave them part of the order at that time. What's the matter, they don't have orders anymore? ”

Yang Youning asked strangely.

Liu Huaimin shook his head, "Not only did they not cancel the order, but they contracted all your orders." ”

"What? How can it be? ”

"It's possible."

Liu Huaimin said conclusively, "The materials needed to make a pressure cooker in our rolling mill are ten, then the one they use to make a machine tool is eight, the time we use is ten, the time they use is three, our scrap rate is eight, and their scrap rate is only two." ”

Liu Huaimin said a bunch of numbers, and Yang Youning frowned and counted in his heart.

If all of them are added up, the comprehensive value of a pressure cooker in their rolling mill is twenty-eight, and the other party's is thirteen.

That's more than half!

"You mean?"

Yang Youning looked at Liu Huaimin in surprise.

"Yes, the superior has calculated that the cost of the existing friendship pot can be reduced to more than half when the manufacturing plant is running at full speed."

"This is the guarantee of our price war with the other party."

When the words fell, Yang Youning and the three of them were all psychologically uncomfortable, and the existence that they looked down on was obviously surpassing them, how could they believe it!

But that's just the way it is.

At this time, they seriously sounded Yang Xiaotao's words.

I thought it was Yang Xiaotao's words in order to persuade them, but now that I think of Yang Xiaotao's analysis, I must have expected today's situation, and fortunately, he strongly advocated handing over the friendship pot to the Northwest No. 2 Manufacturing Plant, otherwise they would not be able to afford to play with their rolling mill alone.

At that point, they will lose completely.

"Lao Liu, what do we need to do?"

Yang Youning quickly reacted and asked seriously.

"The superiors have asked you to make every effort to produce flying eagles. The other party hasn't made a move yet, but it shouldn't be far away. ”

"I see."

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all knew that the Northwest Manufacturing Factory had already started a war, and they were on a par with each other, and if they fell off the chain on their side, they would be sinners of the country.

Liu Huaimin glanced at the three of them deeply, and then nodded, "Comrades, this time, please." ”

Yang Youning looked serious, "Don't worry, there is no such thing as admitting defeat in our dictionary." ”

After Liu Huaimin left, Yang Youning turned around and asked, "Yang Xiaotao, this guy, Lao Tzu is convinced." ”

"By the way, when will he be back? At this time, without him, it's always a bit bottomless. ”
