Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 677 [Layout Mexico]

In the early night of the East Eighth District on July 21, big news came from the other side of the ocean. Wilbur Roche, who appeared in the public eye again, confirmed to multiple media organizations, including Reuters, that it would be worth 43 billion US dollars. An additional 25.5% tariff on imports under the Coast Group will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET.

Knowing Wang also posted a message on MicroBlog, saying that in addition, the levy on the goods of the US$18 billion Côte d’Azur Group will take effect in the next two weeks, mainly in high-tech fields such as semiconductors and consumer electronics products. object.

After the news was confirmed, it immediately became the headlines of major news sites around the world that day.

The media and people in the industry have long known that the two sides may not live peacefully this year, but they never expected it to come so quickly. The Davos Forum Summit just ended yesterday. too fast.

It seems that the premise of the meeting, negotiation and negotiation should not only be unpleasant, but most of the talks have collapsed.

"Lao Mei is really losing her bottom line."

"Isn't the meaning of the bottom line just to break through it?"

"To be reasonable, why didn't you block the MicroBlog of Wang Xing?"

"People are worried that they can't find a reason. If you do this, Lao Mei won't die of laughter?"

"Knowing the King: No one knows tariffs better than me, no one knows MicroBlog better than me..."

"It's really hard for the archbishop. He has been suppressed by the contemporary world hegemons. The old beauty has done things again and again, and it has refreshed my perception of the power of Azure Coast and Bluestar Technology."

...

This incident has been uploaded on the Internet in mainland China, and it is also the same in foreign countries. It is also hotly discussed on the Reddit forum.

A large number of users in North America complained wildly on this anonymous website forum. This news is definitely influential to them. The Azure series mobile phones have a market share of more than 61% in the North American smartphone market. And metaphor.

The latest flagship, the Azure-5, is already expensive enough. With this, the retail price of an Azure-5 is already in the $4,000 range. Local consumers don’t blame mothers. Bought a Japanese used car locally.

It is clear that consumers do not want to buy this product, but local mobile phone brands simply cannot compete with it.

The stock price of Bluestar Technology was also fluctuated because of this. This time, the two companies fought together. The stock price rose and fell on the day, and finally fell. It closed down 2.7% on the day. Although it did not plummet, it could not stand Bluestar Technology as high as 1.82. The super-large scale of the trillion-dollar market value directly caused the market value of the day to evaporate by $49.15 billion.

You know, even if you look at the world, listed companies with a market value of $50 billion are one in a thousand.

Investors were very excited, looking forward to the birth of the first listed company in human history with a market value of more than 2 trillion US dollars. Well, the goal of a market value of 2 trillion US dollars is undoubtedly overshadowed by this incident. Layer uncertainty factors.

After the Cote d'Azur entered daylight in the eastern hemisphere that morning, Yao Jianhong held a temporary media conference that morning to respond to the matter, that is, expressions of anger and protest.

When asked by the media how the Côte d'Azur would respond, Yao Jianhong responded with one sentence: fairness is in the hearts of the people, and I believe in justice.

This is said to mean nothing, but the outside world, especially netizens, did not blame the Côte d’Azur. On the contrary, they also gained a lot of sympathy. Although Côte d’Azur is a giant in the eyes of ordinary people, as a company, it faces the contemporary world hegemony. , is definitely a disadvantaged group, and it is indeed a bit difficult for the strong.

But this is not the case, how could Luo Sheng be beaten and not move?

In response to the media, what is said publicly cannot be done, and what is really done cannot be said publicly.

...

July 22, Office of the Executive Vice President.

A man named Li Li was standing next to Yao Jianhong's desk, and Lao Yao instructed: "This time you are in charge of developing new business channels in Mexico. The situation there is very complicated and dangerous. Your job Or deal with local snakes, and be cautious in all aspects of dealing with these desperados."

In the face of Yao Jianhong's thousands of exhortations, Li Lizheng nodded: "Understood."

After a while, Yao Jianhong took out a business card from his office drawer and handed it to him, saying, "This is what Mr. Luo recommended to me. The first thing I do when I go there is to find the contact person on the business card, and they will give it to me. You work locally to provide paid security services."

Li Li took the business card and looked at it, saying, "Horizon Commercial Security Insurance Group? Is this a security consulting company or an insurance company?"

Yao Jianhong said immediately: "The name is not important, the important thing is that President Luo recommended it, which means you can trust it. After you go there, go directly to Monterey City, where Horizon Security has a branch."

In fact, Lao Yao didn't know anything about this strangely named security consulting company.

Li Li didn't think too much, just did as he did, put away the business card and nodded again: "Understood."

Yao Jianhong added: "Remember, the main local snakes should not take the initiative to contact them, and dealing with them can indeed quickly spread the channel network, but the goal is too large, and they dare not openly offend Laomei and threaten them. It may be suppressed at once, and then we will waste time and cost. So the core idea is one, that is, to increase the cost of the FBI's attack, you will go there to find those small and medium-sized gray forces. "

Li Li nodded silently again, and also understood the purpose of his boss's order to do so. The local small and medium-sized gray forces had small and scattered targets, and the old and beautiful people came out to curb the attack, and the cost was too high.

At the same time, the lives of these small and medium-sized gray forces are not as nourishing as those of the leading local forces, and they need more ways to obtain more gray income.

Hungry people work harder, this is the eternal truth.

At the same time, especially the middle-scale gray forces, they have more desire to expand than the head forces and tail forces, but this requires more resources, and to put it bluntly, they need more money.

This makes it easy to mobilize them.

Yao Jianhong added again: "Of course, it doesn't mean that the local head forces don't have to deal with them. They take the initiative to contact you and deal with them, but you have to stand at the height of the overall vision to balance the whole situation, the key point is Cooperate with the central forces to suppress the proportion of the head forces, and at the same time take into account the tail forces, such a layout can keep the overall situation under our control, understand?"

Li Li replied, "Don't worry, President Yao, I know what to do."

Yao Jianhong nodded with satisfaction, then tilted his head and said, "Then go ahead and prepare."

Although cooperating with a villain is like a deal with the devil, and it will definitely be criticized by some "moral" people when it is spread out, the law of survival in this world is how to be legal and unruly.

Dealing with these villains is not very glamorous, but the villains are also right to buy consumer products, and the company is completely legal to deal with them.

As for what they bought it for, it had nothing to do with the Côte d'Azur.

...

On July 24, Li Li arrived in Monterrey, Mexico.

The city of Monterrey, with a population of more than four million, is considered to be the most nationalized city in Mexico. It is the largest city with its rich and colorful history and culture. It has many pleasing natural beauty and is one of the few local security forces. A city with a good environment.

Li Li has just arrived in Monterey City, and there is a small team with him. There are six people in total, all from China. The company relies on Li Li and the other five employees to open up a new brand here. business channels.

When I got here, I successfully found the distribution of Horizon Security Company in Monterey according to the address.

"Horizon Commercial Security Insurance Group..." An accompanying employee stood in front of the door and glanced at the sign, and after chanting a sentence, he couldn't help but say, "Boss, is this security company reliable?"

Li Li glanced at him and said, "This is arranged by the headquarters. If you are unfamiliar here, do you think it is reliable to ask the locals, or the recommendation from the headquarters?"

"Uh, of course, the headquarters is reliable."

"Let's go, the situation here is more exciting than the plot in the Hong Kong movie. We really want to deal with some desperadoes face to face."

Without the professional security personnel of Horizon Security Company to provide security services, with goods worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars to trade with the other party, the probability of being hacked by the other party is almost 100%. Possibly take a small life.

The set of game rules of the civilized world will not apply here, only fists and calibers are recognized here.
