Chapter 427: Tit for tat

"Bunker!"

"It has to be Umbrella!"

"Fuck! It turns out that he has been sanctioned so many times that he can figure out anything on his own."

"What do you mean by sanctions? Now it feels like a reverse sanction from Umbrella!"

"He first penetrated into every aspect of life with batteries, filter membranes, culture media, medicines , etc. , and then suddenly came and almost took away the lives of those related companies."

"If Umbrella had shown its rebelliousness from the beginning, there would not be the current situation. The source would have been eliminated."

"In fact, they may have considered it, but they must have thought that since they had applied for a patent and opened up sales, they would be able to crack the technology as long as they had time. But they never expected that Umbrella's technology was so advanced."

"Yes, if they can crack Umbrella's technology, there will be no need for Umbrella to impose counter-sanctions. They will probably find an excuse to drive Umbrella out of the market!"

"A blacksmith must be strong himself!"

"This is just playing an open game..."

"If it hadn't been for the Kangaroo Navy incident, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to take this kind of attitude."

“…”

Umbrella's attitude at the press conference itself has caused a huge discussion. Technology blockade? Sanctions? Embargo?

All useless!

Product minerals are mined and delivered by ourselves.

Make the chip yourself!

On the contrary, it can impose reverse sanctions!

Yes, Umbrella actually often still relies on waving money to make up for its shortcomings.

But the waving of banknotes could only have such an effect due to the annihilation of the Kangaroo Navy!

Otherwise, they will be like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, holding their biochemical trump card and watching themselves being weakened and eroded.

Or it will reach the limit and both sides will perish together .

It's not enough to just have money, it's not enough to just have skills, and it's not enough to just have fighting power!

But once all these factors are gathered in one company, they will have enough confidence to say no!

Yes, at present, Da Piaoliang is still the overlord of Blue Star and the number one in the world, without any dispute!

Even if Umbrella was like this, no one had ever considered that Umbrella could really defeat Da Piaoliang. It can be said that the two sides are not in the same league, and there is a huge difference between them.

However, while the Great Beauty has such a large size and global influence, its internal situation is also extremely complicated, and it is impossible for it to unite as one to fight against Umbrella.

As long as Umbrella follows the example of Da Piaoliang and keeps cutting the flesh with a small knife, does not put pressure to the limit, and does not do something like Pearl Harbor for the time being, it can also jump back and forth.

The effects are mutual. Since Da Piaoliang has done this, Umbrella can naturally do the opposite.

In contrast, Umbrella, with its streamlined structure, loyal management, efficient team, and ability to easily gather a concentrated force, has its own absolute advantage in this small-scale confrontation...

Although the officially announced products have not yet been put on sale, pre-sales of the mobile phones have already begun.

In terms of high-end machines, it truly puts the fruit under its feet!

Oh, you have to remove the old battery to use your Apple phone. For people who like high-end phones, just thinking about it makes them feel upset.

In addition to true fans and the stickiness of the IOS system itself, many have turned to Umbrella's pre-sale.

In the case of pre-sale comparison, Umbrella directly topped the list and looked down on all the others!

"My goodness, although Umbrella's mobile phones were good in the past, their sales volume was really not as good as Four Star and Fruit. Their offline channels were too weak."

"That's because Fruit and Four Star bought the technical license for Umbrella's integration, otherwise they would have been dead long ago."

"At that time, holographic bracelets were a market that no one was competing for, so they naturally looked down on them and put all their production capacity into bracelets. Now that the popularity of bracelets has reached a certain level, it seems normal to reversely distribute them to mobile phones."

“I don’t know when their electric cars will be released. They have to wait until the domestic factory is built.”

"They acquired Ningya in the first place, so they have a ready-made production line. I guess they have already made the changes. Now they are just waiting for a policy approval."

"It's over. It feels like all domestic car companies are going to die."

"Are you overthinking this? A car that costs 69,000 US dollars before tax has nothing to do with ordinary people like us..."

"Don't mention it, it seems to be true."

“Cars priced above 400,000 or 500,000 yuan are really going to be slaughtered.”

"It will be a bloodbath."

“…”

Umbrella's combination punch press conference really caused quite a stir.

Yes, the previous annihilation of the Kangaroo Navy had a great impact, and the interrogation of the old man in the castle also had a great impact.

But these are mostly used for eating melons, and are almost not felt in people's daily lives.

This is also why after the group of old men blew themselves up, they were still able to be dispersed by various news.

After the peak of the first wave, nothing happened.

Because it does not affect personal interests!

With the help of diversion and the guidance of some Black Lives Matter events, the level of attention is now declining rapidly.

Without TT's guidance, only VV is in full control, and you can naturally get whatever direction you want.

If it weren't for TT on the Kangaroo side who kept bringing up that incident, it could almost be considered a thing of the past...

…

In a seemingly ordinary room, a group of giant representatives from top Western companies and representatives from the US government gathered together. The atmosphere in the whole room was very depressing.

It looks very scattered, some sitting on the sofas, some standing and smoking cigars, but this group of people are the important ones who can determine the future direction.

"What now?"

"How dare they!"

"It's no use talking about this anymore. Now we just have to deal with the situation at hand. The number of reservations for our new phone is dropping rapidly. We can predict what the stock market will be like tomorrow."

"The 2nm chip technology has come out, but they kept silent about it. This is really f..."

"We didn't tell them about EUV at the beginning, so who knows if they have hidden more."

"The key point is that the fire at the culture medium factory at Hengsan last time was a warning. If this thing is gone, the impact will be even greater, and it may even affect our own health."

"Is there nothing you can do about Heng San? Let the old immortal find a way to deduct some of the money. Although the old immortal is also very difficult to deal with, he can still be used as long as the benefits are in place."

"What's the use? They have the key things in their own hands. If they can take them without affecting production, do they still need us to remind them? They would have done it themselves a long time ago."

"It's no use saying this now. We have to come up with a plan today. How do we announce it? How do we choose? We were caught completely off guard. We can't delay any longer."

"Or, just let them sell. After all, the sanctions have just been lifted."

"Majesty! You don't care if it doesn't affect your business, right? You'll cry when they build that giant airplane!"

"It's not that easy to build a big airplane."

"Look, his true nature is revealed!"

"We really can't let them attack recklessly. The impact will be too great. My rocket will soon have a breakthrough, and we can't destroy the electric car at this time."

"Although ASML's EUV technology is lagging behind, it can generally reach the 1nm process in the future. This time it's just that the time is short and the wafer fab can't keep up, so we can't give up. We must use subsidies to support it and keep it stable."

"Then... how about raising taxes and anti-dumping? Let them sell their products to a suitable level, not to drive you to death, but not to the point where they are in a mess."

"How much?"

"Let's discuss this, hey..."

"If they still come after the tax increase, we have to be more radical."

"Hehe, let's find a way to quickly solve the problem of stealth missiles and helicopters!"

“…”

In the end, the beautiful authorities had to swallow their pride again.

The sanctions that had just been lifted were changed to draw up another list.

Well, we no longer have an embargo on you and no longer restrict your purchases.

However, your product is suspected of dumping, so tax will be imposed!

An alternative approach that does not completely ban it.

Anti-dumping duties are the most notorious tactic used by Western countries.

Anyway, as long as you sell cheaper than mine, I can find an excuse for anti-dumping.

It’s the same now!

Selling is allowed, but not completely permitted.

It is a product of compromise.

If Umbrella is allowed to run rampant, it can be said that several giant companies will inevitably suffer serious damage and face life and death difficulties.

Now this is also a wait-and-see situation.

What if Umbrella's culture medium catches fire again and the filter membrane is out of stock?

Then they will immediately resort to more extreme measures such as breaking the jar and throwing it all away.

Completely prevent the inflow of products and even the freezing of accounts.

At that time, those places where the "environment has been damaged" will continue to file lawsuits, and then the money in the frozen accounts will be used to complete the "compensation".

They have completely fallen out over direct trade!

The big and beautiful size still has the confidence.

Umbrella also came up with a corresponding countermeasure almost immediately.

A small part of the culture medium factory caught fire.

Since you ask us to sell and raise the price so high by increasing taxes, we will do the same.

The share of culture medium is reduced! Production is limited!

But the total sales price has doubled!

You can pick up the extra price yourself, and how to reduce the reduced share is up to you.

The highest bidder wins…

We also sell a small amount of batteries in our own factory, and the highest bidder wins!

If they completely decouple, they will also suffer considerable losses.

In that case, then...
