Life 1984

Li Yunhai had just returned from New York and had never heard of such a strict order from the United States.

He was surprised and asked: "Comrade, what is going on?"

"Chip, there is a problem with your chip. They think there is a certain problem with the Longteng chip, so they need you to provide relevant materials." The person from the customs said to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai couldn't help being shocked after hearing this, and asked, "What should we do?"

If the news is true, Sihai Group will not be able to sell its products, including mobile phones and computers! Because the chips used in these products are based on the X64 architecture.

Who is behind the scenes this time?

The Hebrew son? Farrok?
Farrok once wanted to cooperate with Li Yunhai, but Li Yunhai rejected him.

It is entirely possible for him to use this method to cause trouble now.

From the last conversation with Jennifer, Li Yunhai also knew that Farrok was a petty person.

And this person has certain abilities and can do things that harm Sihai Group.

But it's also possible that this is just a coincidence.

Because Li Yunhai learned about it, the United States is indeed inspecting importers.

It is reported that the key products inspected by the United States this time are cosmetics, toys, infringing goods, imitation brands, fake and shoddy products, and electrified products.

The inspection rate of products such as electronic products, tires, and major automotive raw materials and components such as aluminum and steel is rising.

If the product is found to be fake or relevant information cannot be provided, it will be confiscated or destroyed by US Customs.

Li Yunhai communicated with comrades from the customs and asked whether the X64 chip should be banned to the end, or should we just check the traceability information?

Comrades from the customs said that the products of the industries involved in Sihai Group need to submit raw material supply chain traceability information to the US Customs.

Next, Sihai Group will cooperate with the customer to submit materials, supplementary materials, and wait for the US Customs review stage. The final review results and review time will depend on the review status of the US Customs.

After the phone call, Li Yunhai was silent for a long time.

Soon, Guo Wanhua called.

"Yunhai, do you know? The United States suddenly adjusted its import and export inspection standards and implemented strict controls on chip products other than X86 chips!"

Li Yunhai sneered: "On this earth, apart from X86, it is our X64! Their move is clearly aimed at our products."

Guo Wanhua said: "Yes, I also think this is deliberately targeted! What should we do?"

Li Yunhai said: "We cannot sit still and wait for death! On the one hand, we are actively preparing relevant materials to file a complaint. On the other hand, we are suing the International Court of Justice to sue the United States for its monopoly on the global chip industry."

Guo Wanhua said: "Do I need to appeal? Will it make the matter worse?"

Li Yunhai said proudly: "What are you afraid of? They have dared to ban our products from entering their ports. What else do we have to be afraid of? Sue them directly! It's best to make the matter bigger, and we can also take advantage of a wave of US traffic. dividend!"

Guo Wanhua always felt that Li Yunhai's decision must be the right one, because for so long, his seemingly bizarre decisions were all proved to be right in the end without exception.

"Okay, let's prepare the materials." Guo Wanhua said, "We will suspend exports until the United States makes a favorable decision."

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Well, stop exporting!"

After chatting about work, Guo Wanhua asked: "Is Meilin good to you? Has she caused you any trouble?"

"No, she is very well-behaved and can help me a lot. I was there with her the last time I went to New York. She speaks English very well, is approachable, and is very suitable for negotiation."

"That's fine, you can control her as you wish and treat her as your own sister."

"I rarely take care of my sister, and I have never disciplined her harshly. My sister is meant to be loved."

"Okay! No wonder she has to stay with you, it turns out that's why!"

Subsequently, Jack from the US branch called to report the matter.

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Jack, you are in New York. Why didn't you know such important news in advance? You are too insensitive to changes in local policies! We business people must always pay attention to policy changes. You can’t just keep your head down and look at the road.”

"Boss, this was announced suddenly, without any sign or announcement in advance!" Jack yelled, "You have been in New York for so long, have you heard any relevant news?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself that this was really the case!

During these days in New York, they read local newspapers and news every day, but they did not see this news announced.

How is this going?

Why did such a regulation suddenly appear for Sihai Group?

Jennifer also called and asked if the goods could be shipped on time.
Li Yunhai said helplessly that shipments of orders to the United States have been temporarily suspended and the resumption date is yet to be determined. He also asked Jennifer for her understanding.

Jennifer said: "Mr. Li, have you offended someone? Sihai Group's products have always been selling well here, why are they suddenly targeted?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I only offended one person in New York, and that was your brother."

Jennifer groaned.

Li Yunhai said: "Excuse me, your brother Mr. Farrok, he has such great power, can he do this?"

Jennifer said: "He has this ability! Because his mother is a member of Congress."

Li Yunhai groaned.

Jennifer said: “Generally speaking, an important statement like this will be published in the Federal Register for 30 days before being implemented, but this time, they adopted such quick sanctions, which is really surprising. "

Li Yunhai thought to himself, could it really be Farok who was behind this?
"Jennifer, if the person who did this is really your brother, then his purpose is not to attack me, but to take revenge on you. He would rather destroy what he can't get than let you taste it. Sweetness.”

Sihai Group is now Jennifer's largest partner.

If Sihai cannot ship goods, Jennifer’s losses can be imagined.

Farroq’s attack on Jennifer will definitely continue!

Jennifer obviously thought of this section and said bitterly: "Mr. Li, you are right, his purpose is to deal with me!"

Li Yunhai said: "So, we must unite to solve this situation."

Jennifer asked: "Mr. Li, how can I crack it?"

Li Yunhai said: "We are exerting pressure from the outside, appealing to the International Court of Justice, and suing the U.S. Customs for monopolistic behavior. Find acquaintances from within and lift this ban as soon as possible."

Jennifer said: "Okay, I hope normal shipments can resume as soon as possible!"

After the phone call, Li Yunhai's cell phone ran out of battery.

Lin Zhi walked over and asked, "Yunhai, what happened? I heard you have been on the phone."

Li Yunhai charged his mobile phone and said, "Something big happened! The U.S. Customs didn't know what was wrong, and they suddenly banned our products from entering!"

"Ah? Then the dealer we just negotiated, isn't it all in vain?"

"Don't worry, everything can always be negotiated. If we really can't negotiate, then we will have to give up the US market."

Is it easy to give up?
Li Yunhai finally conquered the market!
Just give it up like this?

Li Yunhai sighed!
He is so unwilling!

If we withdraw like this, how will Sihai Group develop in the future?
Li Yunhai lit a cigarette and frowned. He also wants to take a good rest after returning to China and prepare for the Canton Fair in mid-October.

The result was such a drama again!

Li Yunhai's vacation plan is cancelled!

The next morning, after Li Yunhai came to the company, he held a meeting of senior executives at the vice president level and above.

Li Yunhai reported what happened last night.

Everyone just heard about it and they were all shocked!
The most panicked person was Zhao Jinping.

He is the vice president of sales, and he knows better than anyone how important the US market is.

Now the American market has been taken over in one pot!
All the previous efforts were in vain.

"Mr. Li, then we can't sit still and wait for death!" Zhao Jinping changed his sitting posture from time to time and said angrily, "The United States is so unreasonable! Can't we come up with countermeasures?"

Li Yunhai said solemnly: "We are just a company, how can we propose countermeasures? The only thing we can do is to announce that we will completely abandon the US market! But, is this what we want?"

Li Juan suddenly said: "It's not impossible! I want to see who can't sit still!"

Zhao Jinping said: "If we can really do this, then we will definitely win!"

Li Yunhai said: "Li Juan, is there any way you can do this?"

Li Juan thought for a while and said, "How about I give it a try? I'll go out and make a phone call."

Li Yunhai made a please gesture.

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, let's think about how to open up more markets!"

Li Yunhai said: "Well, this is also one of the things we are going to discuss today."

Professor Ni said: "I think the European market still has great potential that can be tapped."

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Everyone, do you have any other good suggestions?"

Jiang Zhijun said: "Mr. Li, do you want our production arrangements to continue with this incident?"

Li Yunhai said: "Continue production! This rhythm cannot be messed up. Our products are very popular and can be arranged to be shipped to Europe."

Jiang Zhijun said: "Okay, Mr. Li, then the arrangements of our production department will remain as usual, no changes will be made."

Li Yunhai's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw it was from Farrok.

Li Yunhai answered the phone and said hello.

"Hello! Mr. Li, I am Farrok!"

"Hello, Mr. Farroch, how may I help you?"

"I believe you are anxious now?"

"Well, I'm sorry that some people no longer have access to the high-end electronics our company makes!"

Farrok was stunned. He didn't expect Li Yunhai to speak like this, which was beyond his expectation.

"Mr. Li, I am also disappointed for our people! Maybe we can change this situation by working together."

"How to work hard?"

"I can help you intercede and strive to lift this ban. However, my efforts cannot be in vain. I need you to sever cooperation with Jennifer and choose to cooperate with me!"

"Mr. Farroch, I think you misunderstood. I will not choose to cooperate with you!"

"what?"

"My position has been clearly expressed to you when I was in New York. We respect every customer, including the original Hebrew and now Jennifer. I can't do anything unilaterally until they make no major mistakes. The decision to break the contract was made.”

"Mr. Li, you are really stubborn! This will not be beneficial to the development of your company at all! If you lose our market, your sales will drop, and your popularity will also drop!"

"It doesn't matter! It's just a market with a population of 300 million! Our country has a population of more than one billion, and the market is several times yours. I only sell it domestically, and it's enough for me to make money."

"Mr. Li, is it so difficult for you to cooperate with me?"

"It's hard because it's hard for me to communicate with a dog."

"FUCK! How dare you call me a dog!"

"I didn't say that, but it is indeed difficult for me to communicate with a dog. This is a fact. Well, Mr. Farroch, I'm still busy here, so I won't disturb your rest at night!"

Li Yunhai hung up the phone.

Farroch over in New York almost lost his temper!
He slammed the Meihua mobile phone to the ground with force, pulled open the collar of his shirt, and his chest heaved sharply.

Stepmother Alice sat on the sofa next to her, looked at him coldly, and said, "Why do we have to cooperate with him? There are so many manufacturers selling mobile phones and computers in the world! We can do it by acting as an agent for any one. For example, Nokia ,Motorola!"

Farrok waved his right hand and said: "Alice, you don't understand! Only Sihai Group produces both computers and mobile phones, and their products are ahead of other brands in the world! Their annual sales of one mobile phone reach A terrifying 20 million units! No other manufacturer’s mobile phone can reach this sales volume!”

Alice said: "They have cut off our country's market, and they will definitely not be able to sell it in the future!"

Farroch said: "We only announced a temporary ban through the relationship with the customs! This ban has not been reviewed and approved by Congress! Congress is not ours to have the final say. More people will consider the issue comprehensively, or they may not Will pass this ban!”

Alice said: "Farrok, let's choose Nokia! For computers, we can choose to cooperate with IBM."

"IBM? It has long since declined! The IBM computers you see on the market now were all bought in the past! They suffered a huge loss this year! Nokia is still good, but it's a pity that their mobile phones are too ugly! They are not as good-looking as Meihua phones , and it’s not as easy to use as the Meihua phone.”

The Meihua mobile phone that he threw to the ground suddenly heard a crisp ringtone.

Farrok picked it up and said, "Look, the quality of this phone is so good! It won't break even if I drop it!"

When he answered the phone, his face changed drastically: "What? Is it true? Sihai Group filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice, suing the United States for monopolizing the production and sales of chips and maliciously attacking other peers. They are claiming US$200 billion? Are they crazy? !”

Alice heard it, covered her mouth slightly, and exclaimed: "Oh my God!"

Farrok said angrily: "Don't worry about them! They can't sue us! The International Court of Justice is not theirs!"

However, the revenge from Sihai Group is getting stronger and stronger!
The next day, a big piece of news came:
For safety reasons, we will suspend the import of X86 chip products!
After this news came out, it caused thousands of waves!

Li Yunhai himself didn't expect that a phone call from Li Juan would really make this matter happen!
The second thing I didn't expect was that Li Juan really tried her best to help Sihai Group!

Even if the Li family in Beijing has the ability to do this, they still have to be willing to help you!
It can be seen that Li Juan really put in the effort!
This made him look at Li Juan with admiration!

Next, it depends on the game between the two parties, and which company on both sides can withstand the pressure better!

Li Yunhai put the pressure on Farroch.

Farrok never dreamed that Li Yunhai had such great energy.

He thought Li Yunhai was just a businessman.

Companies such as Compaq and Hewlett-Packard took the lead in proposing a settlement agreement, demanding that the relevant bans be lifted as soon as possible and normal business transactions resumed.

What happened next will be explained later. (End of chapter)
