Chapter 396 Manufacturing Industry Returns

Western countries have always had a tradition of televised speech.

However, once the President gives a national televised speech, it will inevitably be a very important event.

so.

When Amei officially announced that it would hold a national televised speech, the North American people and the whole world gathered to pay close attention to this matter.

The Yan State official naturally noticed Amei's sudden announcement very quickly, and the relevant departments immediately took good care of it and paid close attention.

Hu Lai was relieved.

Some time ago, the price cuts of Hongguo mobile phones, Boeing and Zezra made him feel a little depressed before the explosion. Now that the trump card is about to be revealed, he feels much more relaxed. He wants to see how Amei will deal with Phoenix Group.

A week later, this national televised speech called "Make Ami Great Again" arrived as scheduled.

"Gentlemen, ladies, all the American people..."

The voice of the President came from the TV.

Not surprisingly.

After a simple opening remark, the TV pointed the finger at the "Yan Country Threat Theory", exaggerating the unprecedented threat from the Yan Country in all aspects such as Amei's economy, military and other aspects.

Moreover, the TV bluntly declared that within three to five years, Yan Country will replace Amei as the world's largest economy.

In the future, America will enter a period of continuous recession and will become the world's largest country that North Americans have always been proud of to the world's second largest country.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately ignited the concerns of all the people.

In addition, during this period, I thought that Amei media had been continuously guiding public opinion, and at this moment, all the people were deeply aware of what it would mean if they lost their position as the world's number one.

Crisis, anxiety and hostility instantly appeared in the hearts of most people. Under the strong exaggeration of this, all the people were looking forward to the official to come up with a good solution.

The TV did not disappoint the people, and the response plan they had prepared for a long time was announced during the phone speech.

In the plan, Amei officially prepared a technology support plan of $500 billion, and the money will be invested in high-end technology industries, such as the chip field and aerospace field to ensure the leadership of Yanguo Technology.

In addition, of course, restrictions and targeting the various industries of the Yan Kingdom are indispensable.

Biopharmaceuticals, machine tools, special instruments, aerospace... Almost all industries involving Amei patents appear on the restricted list.

As for the Phoenix Group, which attracted everyone's attention, Amei's official issued a comprehensive restriction without any surprise.

Among them, Phoenix New Energy Vehicles was required to establish automobile factories in North America to achieve "localization of production" and provide at least 10,000 jobs, otherwise Phoenix New Energy Vehicles will not be allowed to enter North America for sales.

In order to target Phoenix's mobile phone, computer and chip industry, Amei's official faced him even more.

The direct claim that Phoenix Group's chips can make such great progress is entirely because it has used illegal means to steal the chip technology of Amei's latest laboratory.

Moreover, the latest investigation found that Phoenix Group's chips were implanted with backdoor programs, seriously threatening customer privacy and national security!

In this regard, before the incident is thoroughly investigated, all electronic products, mobile phones, computers, etc. of Phoenix Group will be completely banned from sales in North America!

but……

Do you think this is over?

This time, Amei has been preparing for so long, and she has considered everything in detail.

In addition to restricting many key industries in Yan Country and the Phoenix Group, what is even more unexpected is...

They proposed that "GE" (GE) that provides aircraft engines to C919 violate the export control regulations and will suspend GE's engine exports to COMAC Group.

These news came out and the world was shocked!

In less than ten minutes, the news hit the headlines of all well-known media and portals around the world, completely igniting the entire network.

Everyone knows that things have escalated!

Faced with Yan Guo, which was constantly under pressure, Amei really did not spare any effort to fight with all her strength this time, and played all the cards she could play!

When the news came back to China, domestic netizens' reactions were much calmer than when they were restricted for the first time in previous years.

Most netizens optimistically expressed that the impact was not great. After so many conflicts, many netizens have gradually become full of confidence in Phoenix Group.

However, the COMAC C919's aircraft engine restriction has caused everyone's concerns, and of course there are many sarcastic netizens.

"Haha, I said before, what is the C919 domestically produced large aircraft? It is TM's Wanguo brand assembly machine! If you can't produce it nationwide, you can restrict you at any time. It's so funny."

"That's right, I haven't remembered after taking so many losses. Are those people from COMAC Group so fucked the 'comprador'? It's recommended to check it above."

"Can you stop being sour? What a sarcastic thing? Anyway, I have never heard of any bakery that needs to make the oven, grow wheat, grind flour by myself, and even make fertilizer by myself and produce hoes by myself..."

"It's useless to say that these are useless. Now COMAC is going to be completely depressed. This trick is to remove the firewood from the cauldron. How can I deliver the aircraft without the engine?"

"Hey, I heard that COMAC had received a lot of orders some time ago. Now that I can't deliver the goods on time, I will probably lose money. Amei is waiting here!"

“…”

Hu Lai did not watch TV and listen to TV speeches.

When he arrived at Phoenix Headquarters early the next morning, all the key meeting content had already been placed on his desk.

Since Chen Hai reminded Amei last time that he might make big moves, Hu Lai has discussed with senior executives such as Director Zhang and others about the restrictions and blockades that may be encountered.

so.

He was not too surprised when he saw Amei's official plan to completely restrict Phoenix Group.

New energy vehicles must be built in North America, which is the same strategy that Amei asked "Taiji Electric" to build factories in North America.

First, let the manufacturing industry return to the local area. Building a factory will bring investment, and it will also provide Amei with a large number of jobs.

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

As we all know, after economic globalization, Amei encountered the problem of hollowing out manufacturing industry, one of the reasons is that the local labor costs are too expensive.

To put it simply, for example, if a Hongguo mobile phone is produced locally in Amei, the cost price may reach $500 by high labor costs.

But if it is assembled and produced in Yan Country or other countries, even if the tariff is added, the actual price may only cost $450.

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

You don’t have to think about it and know that the factory will definitely become a bargaining chip for Amei to limit Phoenix in the future!

What makes Hu Lai most troubled is that he cannot counter this restriction.

Everyone knows that Zezra has a super factory in the Magic, and it is impossible for the official to counter this.

Hu Lai smiled, and I have to say that Ami's think tank really has something.
Chapter completed!
