Chapter 429 Prepare to Sue for Peace

"Making a blockbuster for bionic robots?"

Director Zhang came to his senses and quickly understood Hu Lai's thoughts.

For the current Phoenix Group, spending hundreds of millions or more than a billion to make a movie and develop an IP is not a big deal.

Once the popular publicity method of movies can be used to promote "bionic robots" as cultural propaganda to the world, it will undoubtedly qualitatively improve the Phoenix Group's brand and popularity.

This method is indeed worth a try.

Director Zhang nodded and said:

"Boss, I also agree with your plan."

"Cultural export has always been a weakness of our country, Yan. We can really try to do some cultural export of our own."

"good!"

Seeing that Director Zhang had no objection, Hu Lai settled the matter.

"Lao Zhang, it's up to you to arrange this matter."

"However, we still adhere to the principle that professional people do professional things. We will be responsible for paying for it, and the specific shooting and production will be left to the director and production team."

"In short, the purpose of everything is to shoot the quality of the world's first-tier blockbusters! Money is not an issue!"

"Okay, then I'll contact you right away."

After arranging all the chores, Hu Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, the Phoenix Group's bicycle, motorcycle, computer and other businesses have already entered a mature stage, and generally Hu Lai won't worry about it even if there are no major changes.

The recent C919 has also been on the right track, and the business has recovered quickly under the leadership of Mr. Yu of COMAC, so there is no need to worry.

The "accompanying robot" received a very good response after being introduced to the market. The next step is to continuously launch new models according to market changes, such as "girlfriend robot", "pet robot", etc...

But this is a matter for the robotics department.

"I can finally have some leisure time."

Hu Lai breathed out a heavy breath, and then poured a cup of tea leisurely.

…

And the other side.

Across the ocean, the Office of Strategic Analysis.

After experiencing the failure of a comprehensive blockade of Yan State, the strategic analysis room was once demoralized and even fell into a brief chaos.

but.

As an old capitalist country, Aramco quickly recovered.

Today, this small office is crowded with people. Some of them are top China strategy experts, some are bosses of large technology companies, and some are economists from top universities.

The purpose of their gathering here is to study what plan they should take against Yan Kingdom next.

The person who presided over the meeting was the intelligence officer Eisenl. He stood in front of the screen and explained the current situation to everyone, but in fact, everyone was very clear about the current situation.

There is no doubt about it.

Whether it is a technological war to block the engine of the C919 or a public opinion war, all strategies of military oppression of Aramco have failed!

Now, the consequences of failure must be addressed.

"The situation we are facing now is that Qualcomm has been officially restricted from entering the Yanguo market by Yanguo. In just over a month, Qualcomm's market share in Yanguo has plummeted."

"In addition, all our chip-related companies have seen their profits plummet due to Phoenix Group's continued price war, which has seriously damaged our chip industry chain, and some companies have begun to suffer substantial losses."

"Large chip companies such as Inet and NVIDIA can still barely sustain themselves, but some small chip companies have begun to experience a wave of bankruptcy."

As he said that, Eisener paused for a moment and looked at where the presidents of Qualcomm, Inet and other chip companies were, and then said:

"And the aerospace engine company GE, which we have high hopes for, has completely lost the possibility of restricting the C919 because of the emergence of the Phoenix Group's 'Somersault Cloud' engine."

"Currently, all C919 orders from GE and COMAC have been lost, resulting in heavy losses..."

"The most worrying thing is that we are very likely to face the same problem in the aero-engine industry as we do in the current chip industry in the future - price war!"

"So... today's meeting is very important. We must come up with a long-term plan. Firstly, we must find ways to save our chip industry chain. Secondly, we must find ways to maintain our advantage in aero-engines. The worst is

The situation must also stabilize the Phoenix Group and prevent them from launching a price war on aircraft engines."

After the words fell, everyone present looked solemn.

No one expected that in just a few years, Amei's huge advantage over Yan Country would be completely wiped out, and our side had completely lost its absolute strategic initiative!

"Right..."

Listening to the slightly noisy discussion in the office, Eisener suddenly picked up a document from the table and continued:

"There is one more thing we need to discuss first."

"Yanguo officials have recently started the process of promoting the internationalization of soft sister coins again. In the latest crude oil settlement, Saudi Arabia increased the proportion of its settlement with Yanguo's official soft sister coins."

"According to our intelligence, it was the Phoenix Group who took the initiative to propose to Saudi Arabia to use soft currency to settle their economic and trade transactions. What do you think of this matter?"

This topic doesn't seem to be as troublesome as chips.

After a few seconds, a white man with gray hair and the appearance of a professor raised his hand to answer.

"I am also paying attention to this matter, and I will share my views."

"Yanguo officials have been promoting the internationalization of soft sister coins. I think this is just one of their plans."

"Before the meeting, I checked the latest statistics of 'SWIFT'. Yanguo's soft currency is still only the fifth most active currency in the world, and its payment value only accounts for 2.1%, which is still a certain amount compared with the fourth-placed Japanese yen's 2.95%.

The gap, let alone compared with our 42% share.”

"So... I think this matter will have little impact on us at the moment."

After saying that, a white man next to him also echoed:

"I agree with Professor John's judgment."

"To put it bluntly, even apart from the 'SWIFT' data, we still have military bases in the homes of big dogs. It is impossible for them to liberalize the settlement of soft sister coins without restrictions."

"In my opinion, this is just a balancing diplomacy played by big dogs."

"So, I also think that our current focus should still be on the chip issue."

Everyone's opinions were basically unanimous. After seeing this, Eisener did not continue to delay on the issue of soft sister coins, and then turned the topic back to the chip.

"Okay, let's talk about how we will deal with our chip industry next."

The sound of discussion suddenly came from the conference room.

After a while, one of the participants, Qualcomm President An Meng, who had been preparing to speak, stood up and said anxiously:

"There is no doubt that we must start peace talks with Yan Guo immediately. We really can't afford to delay."

After saying this, he glanced at everyone.

"Mr. Eisenl has just made it very clear that our Qualcomm revenue accounted for 67% in the Yanguo market. Now Yanguo officials have banned us from selling all chips in Yanguo. This is fatal to us.

Strike."

"Hundreds of suppliers in our industry chain have begun to threaten bankruptcy. Since last month, we ourselves have also suffered huge losses. If we don't think of a way, we must lay off a large number of employees to maintain corporate expenses."

"So... we must stop the confrontation now, sit down and negotiate with Yanguo officials, and really find a way to get them to lift the restrictions on us."
