The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 396
Western countries have always had a tradition of televised speeches.

However, once the President makes a nationally televised speech, it must be a very important event.

and so.

When Aramco officially announced that it will hold a national televised speech, the eyes of the people in North America and the whole world gathered to pay close attention to this matter.

The officials of Yan Kingdom naturally noticed Ami's sudden announcement very quickly, and the relevant departments immediately stood by and paid close attention to it.

Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

Some time ago, the price cuts of Hongguo Mobile, Boeing, and Zesla made him feel a bit of depression before the outbreak. Now that the cards are about to be revealed, he feels much more relaxed. He wants to see how Ami will deal with the Phoenix Group.

A week later, the nationally televised address called "Make Aramco Great Again" came as scheduled.

"Gentlemen and ladies, all citizens of the United States of America..."

The voice of Mr. President came from the TV.

Not surprisingly.

After a simple opening remark, the TV program pointed the finger at the "Yan State Threat Theory", exaggerating the unprecedented threat that Ami's economy, military and other aspects are being threatened by Yan State.

Moreover, it was bluntly declared on TV that within three to five years at most, Yan Country will replace Aramco as the world's largest economy.

In the future, Aramco will enter a period of continuous decline, and will fall from the world's largest country that North Americans have always been proud of to the world's second largest country.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately ignited the worries of all the people.

Coupled with the continuous public opinion orientation of the Aramco media during this period of time, at this moment, all the people are deeply aware of what it will mean if they lose their number one position in the world.

Crisis, anxiety, and hostility instantly appeared in the hearts of most people. Under the vigorous exaggeration of the officials, all the people expected the officials to come up with a good solution.

The TV did not disappoint the people, and they announced their long-prepared response plan in the phone speech.

In the plan, Aramco has officially prepared a US$5000 billion technology support plan. This money will be invested in high-end technology industries, such as the chip field and aerospace field, to ensure the leading position in Yanguo's technology.

In addition to this, of course, restrictions and targets on various industries in Yan Kingdom are indispensable.

Biopharmaceuticals, machine tool equipment, special instruments, aerospace...almost all industries involving Aramco patents appear on the restricted list.

As for the Phoenix Group, which has attracted everyone's attention, the Aramco official has imposed comprehensive restrictions.

Among them, Phoenix New Energy Vehicles was asked to "protect the privacy information of car owners" as an excuse, requiring Phoenix Group to establish a car factory in North America to achieve "localization of production" and provide at least 1 jobs, otherwise Phoenix New Energy will not be allowed The car goes on sale in North America.

And in order to target Phoenix's mobile phone, computer, and chip industries, Aramco officials are even more shameless.

Directly claiming that Phoenix Group's chips can make such great progress is all because of the use of illegal means to steal the chip technology from Aramco's latest laboratory.

Moreover, the latest investigation found that the chips of the Phoenix Group have been implanted with backdoor programs, which seriously threaten customer privacy and national security!
In this regard, before the incident is thoroughly investigated, all electronic products, mobile phones, computers, etc. of the Phoenix Group will be completely banned from sale in North America!
but……

Do you think this is over?
This time Ami officials have been preparing for so long, almost every detail has been considered.

In addition to restricting many key industries in Yan Kingdom and the Phoenix Group, which is a big worry in his heart, what is even more unexpected is...

They proposed that "GE" (General Electric), which provided aeroengines for C919, violated export control regulations and would suspend GE's engine exports to COMAC.

When the news came out, the world shook!
In less than 10 minutes, the news hit the headlines of all the world's well-known media and portal websites, completely detonating the entire Internet.

Everyone knows that the situation has escalated!

Facing Yan Kingdom, which is constantly under pressure, Ah Mei really spared no effort to fight this time, and played all the cards she could play!

When the news was sent back to China, the reaction of domestic netizens was much calmer than when it was restricted for the first time in previous years.

Most netizens expressed optimism that the impact would not be significant. After so many conflicts, many netizens have gradually become full of confidence in the Phoenix Group.

On the contrary, the restriction of aero-engines on the COMAC C919 has aroused public concern, and of course there are many netizens who are eccentric.

"Hehe, as I said before, what kind of big domestic aircraft is the C919? It's TM's IWC assembled aircraft! It can't be produced nationwide and others can restrict you at any time. It's ridiculous."

"That's right, I don't have a long memory after suffering so many losses. Are those people in COMAC really 'compradors'? I suggest you check it out."

"Can you stop being sour, yin and yang, anyway, I have never heard of a bakery that wants to make its own oven, grow its own wheat, grind its own flour, and even make its own fertilizer and produce its own hoes..."

"It's useless to say these things. Now COMAC is going to be completely cold. This trick is to draw the fire from the bottom of the pot. How can we deliver the plane without the engine!"

"Hey, some time ago I heard that COMAC got a lot of orders and was very happy. Now I can't deliver the goods on time and I think I will lose my life. Amy was waiting here!"

"..."

Hu Lai did not watch the televised speech.

When he came to the Phoenix headquarters early the next morning, all key meeting contents had already been placed on his desk.

Ever since Chen Hai reminded Amei that there might be a big move, Hu Lai discussed possible restrictions and blockades with director Zhang and other high-level officials.

and so.

He was not too surprised when he saw Aramco's official plan to fully restrict the Phoenix Group.

New energy vehicles must build factories in North America, which is the same as Aramco's original strategy of requiring "TAMC" to build factories in North America.

One is to bring the manufacturing industry back to the mainland. The construction of factories will bring investment, and at the same time, it will also provide a large number of jobs for Aramco.

Second, it indirectly weakens the profits of Phoenix New Energy Vehicles.

As we all know, after economic globalization, Aramco has encountered the problem of hollowing out the manufacturing industry. One of the reasons is that the cost of local labor is too high.

To put it simply, for example, if a Hongguo mobile phone is produced in Aramco, the cost price may reach US$500 after calculating the high labor cost.

But if it is assembled and produced in Yanguo or other countries, even with tariffs added, the actual price may only cost $450.

Once Phoenix really builds a new energy vehicle factory in North America, there is no doubt that the profit will be greatly reduced, and!

No need to think about it, we know that the factory will definitely become Aramco's bargaining chip in restricting Phoenix in the future!
What bothered Hu Lai the most was that he couldn't counter this restriction.

Everyone knows that Zesla has a super factory in Shanghai, and it is impossible for the authorities to counteract Zesla.

Hu Lai smiled and had to say that Amei's think tank really has something.
