Chapter 713 The strongest backup

Antitrust investigation!

Safety Investigation!

Following Bob's smearing article, one blow after another followed.

As Duke expected, Bob's smear was not the worst thing for SAL. Next, under Snyder's promotion, the US Federal Trade Commission began to conduct an antitrust investigation on three products: SAL's mobile phones and smart TVs, namely voice input, voice search engine and instant messaging. The US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee began to conduct a security investigation on SAL's mobile phone products on the grounds of endangering national security. These two things happened almost at the same time, which made SAL's situation even more difficult.

Under this series of fierce combinations, SAL immediately dropped significantly in the US mobile phone market and smart TV market. Although the market ban has not been received yet, American consumers have begun to question SAL products. Today, when there is no shortage of alternative products, these negative news has greatly affected consumers' choices.

"Duck and the others have yet to ask for help from the Ministry of Commerce?" So many news that are not conducive to SAL is not only widely circulated in the US market, but also Mr. Liu has received a lot. At his level, it is naturally obvious that this is the US's deliberate suppression of SAL. In this case, Duke and the others have no reason not to ask for help from the Ministry of Commerce and ask the state to intervene unless Duke and the others feel that they can solve it themselves.

"Chief, according to the current news, SAL has indeed not issued a request to the relevant departments." Although Mr. Liu's secretary Sun Hong has been promoted to deputy director of the office and has become a deputy department level, he still stays with Mr. Liu as a personal secretary. "However, SAL has formed a luxurious lawyer team and has now launched two lawsuits in the United States. It seems that he is preparing to resolve this crisis by himself."

"They are unwilling to cause trouble to the country. This is because they are conscious. If the Ministry of Commerce and Trade does not take any action, I think it is a serious dereliction of duty. It is obvious that the suppression of well-known enterprises in our country. If the country does not take the initiative to protect them, how can we ensure that they are given a fair competition environment? The government cannot only think of finding enterprises when collecting taxes. When enterprises are in trouble, they should take the initiative to care and help." Mr. Liu raised his eyebrows, and obviously he seemed a little angry and even angry about the Ministry of Commerce's failure.

On the one hand, large enterprises like SAL that contribute tens of billions of tax revenue to the country every year have a particularly great impact on the domestic industrial chain and require major government attention. On the other hand, SAL and Duke spare no effort in military industry development. Not only has they invested tens of billions of R&D in DSM and produced a large number of new products, but also have large funds to significantly improve the R&D environment of related companies participating in the Shenlong Plan and Qianlong Plan, greatly promoting the R&D capabilities of relevant R&D institutions.

So when SAL encountered difficulties, although Mr. Liu was a little disappointed that Duke and the others did not come to ask for help, he was even more angry at the inaction of the relevant departments.

However, Deputy Director Sun Hong knew the ideas of these domestic colleagues. Not to mention that SAL has not come to the door yet, even if Cai Siqiang and Duke rushed to find the Ministry of Commerce, those functional departments would be perfunctory about it as a matter of more than less. To put it bluntly, this matter has no personal interest in them. It is not necessary to fight against extremely difficult opponents like Americans for the sake of the company. Maybe they will cause trouble for a lot of things, let alone make it difficult to explain.

"Let me make an appointment with Vice Premier Wu Yongtai, and I will talk to him personally, so that the government can come up with a charter for such a situation. Now we can be tough in military affairs, and we can't be too soft in economic terms, and we are always bullied." Mr. Liu also knew the virtues of these people, and knew that even if Sun Hong went to the Ministry of Commerce, it might be useless. The other party had ten thousand reasons to shirk and delay. Although he was of high position and power, he could only directly manage the military, and there was still some inability to reach these functional departments, so he directly came to the Vice Premier who was responsible for this matter.

As the vice premier in charge of economic and trade, 60-year-old Wu Yongtai has great hope of going further in the Politburo, so he has always respected Mr. Liu, a military general. After all, the military's attitude is also a very important factor in becoming a Changsha.

Duke and Siqiang Cai did not expect that they were going to take on this matter themselves, hoping that the matter would stop at SAL, because the previous access to nuclear power plants had led to a fierce trade war between China and Europe. Whether it was Siqiang Cai or Duke, they did not want to repeat this scene between China and the United States because of the SAL incident.

After all, China is still in a weak position in the current international trade, and a large number of our industries are very dependent on exports. Therefore, in terms of national economy and trade, we cannot be enemies of the whole world.

Therefore, although China and the United States experienced a fierce air battle in Diaoyutai and both sides lost dozens or hundreds of fighter jets, due to their respective needs and economic and trade exchanges, both sides were still limited to private self-restraint, and there was no major change at the national economic and trade level.

This is a very strange situation. On the one hand, it fights hard and keeps constant exchanges and maintains a trillion-dollar economic and trade future, which is rare in world history.

Some experts analyzed that the strange situation is actually due to the fact that both sides have different needs and support. On the one hand, China has provided a large number of daily consumer goods with high quality and low price to the US market, finding a way out for the huge domestic labor force;

On the other hand, the US has huge interests in the Chinese market and the investment amount is huge. At the same time, it is also quite vigilant about the huge US bonds held by China. Once a trillion-dollar bonds are sold on a large scale, it will be a huge test for the US financial system.

What is more important is that if these huge wealth is transferred in a purposeful manner, such as entering European debt, America and African resource markets, China uses this guarantee as a support for the internationalization of RMB settlement, it will be a heavy blow to the US existing dollar system.

Because this will be a huge impact on the existing international economic order with the United States as the main body. Once it collapses, the US dollar is no longer the settlement currency of international economic and trade activities, it means that Americans can no longer rely on printing US dollars to alleviate their debts of up to tens of trillions of dollars. You should know that half of the US economic strength comes from the strong US dollar, the most important international currency.

Therefore, the US has been closely monitoring China's dynamics. When China, Japan and South Korea were discussing the establishment of a RMB settlement trade zone and allowing the RMB to go to Asia a few years ago, the Americans decisively took action and instigated the Japanese to cause trouble in Diaoyutai, thus interrupting the internationalization step of the RMB and still in the womb.

Next, China and Japan have been in dispute over Diaoyutai, and the two are in trouble, so they can’t care about this matter. By the time Taiwan’s return last year, the two sides fought hard, and they were even more new and old hatred. They could not even maintain normal economic and trade relations within ten years, let alone the RMB settlement free trade zone.

Of course, Duke and Cai Siqiang couldn't see so far or so deep. However, when they saw the tragic transformation of the textile and toy industries, Cai Siqiang was deeply moved. His company lost an American market, which is a loss of 200 billion US dollars, and the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, there is still a lawsuit, but once the country is involved, it is a major event that often affects the livelihood of millions of people.

With the current trade volume of nearly one trillion US dollars in China and the United States, once this trade war begins, it will definitely be an unprecedented super trade war. However, when Cai Siqiang came to the old Li family for advice, Mr. Li Erick taught Cai Siqiang a lesson, allowing Cai Siqiang to see a brand new future.

"This is a war that will come sooner or later," When Cai Siqiang found Erick of the old Li family, and the two sides talked about why SAL did not ask the government to come forward, Erick had different opinions on Cai Siqiang's view. "The victory of the Diaoyutai air battle in the military means that although the US military strength is still the world's number one, it can no longer control China's growth. For China, this is a huge strategic turning point, and the same is true for the world."

Eric is the second-generation helm leader who was focused on training by the old Li family. His insight into the international situation is obviously higher than that of the immature Cai Siqiang. "This is a new era of the alternation of old and new international political and economics. Although there are still many uncertainties, the United States has obviously not been able to last long for the world. The large-scale development of oil in the South China Sea is a very obvious signal. Faced with China's large-scale layout to solve energy dependence, the US military has actually stopped, which shows that they have lost confidence in fighting with the People's Liberation Army in the South China Sea."

"It is difficult for ordinary people to see through the mystery of this strange new situation, but for strategists who know all about international political and economic relations, the taste in the middle is very intriguing. It means that China has begun to truly have the confidence to say no to the US in terms of military and economic aspects."

For world-class super economic forces like the old Li family, of course, they have their own set of political and economic experts think tanks to analyze and advise them. So when Cai Siqiang looked at Eric in a daze and said this to him, Cai Siqiang felt that his head was not enough. To be honest, to be able to push SAL to this stage in business, Cai Siqiang has almost tried his best, and even a lot of white hair appeared on his head.

However, as a person in power in emerging super economic forces, Cai Siqiang is far from qualified. At least, he has not completed the construction of teams in various aspects as well as the old Li family. This is the biggest difference between nouveau riche and aristocratic family. The old Li family has been working hard for more than half a century and two generations to reach its current status. How many years have Cai Siqiang and the others started?

This cannot be easily caught up overnight, nor does it have any intelligence, but lack of foundation, so Cai Siqiang listened modestly. These things are good words that he could not buy outside with money.

Seeing Cai Siqiang's appearance as a savvy child, Eric was very generous to this young talent who was not much older than his son. This time, he explained his judgment on the current situation and made Cai Siqiang suddenly realize.

"Mr. Li, like you said, our SAL is now a small pawn in the new economic relations between China and the United States. We just need to move forward and fight according to the existing steps. The country will take the opportunity to follow the deployment behind us and take a series of actions to echo us? Become our strongest support?" Cai Siqiang asked.
