On July 21, in the early morning night of the East Eighth District, big news came across the ocean. Willbo Roche, who once again appeared in the public eye, confirmed to several media organizations, including Reuters that it would impose an additional 25.5% tariff on imported products under the Costa 43 billion Costa del Azure Group, which will officially take effect at 12:01 am ET.

Dongwang also posted a news release on microblog that it would also require taxation on products under the Costa 18 billion USD Group to take effect in the next two weeks, with high-tech fields such as semiconductors and consumer electronics as the main targets.

After the news was confirmed, it immediately became the headline news on major news websites around the world that day.

Media and industry insiders have long known that both sides may not live a stable life this year, but they never expected it to come so quickly. The Davos Forum Summit just ended yesterday, so it was a bit too fast to turn around and use this trick.

It seems that the prerequisite meeting consultations and negotiations should not be just unpleasant, but most of the talks are broken.

"The United States is really getting less and less bottom line."

"Isn't the meaning of the bottom line just to break through it?"

"Why don't you block the microblog of King Ming?"

"I'm worried that I can't catch a reason. If you do this, the Americans will be dying of laughter?"

"King of Understanding: No one knows tariffs better than me, and no one knows microblog better than me..."

"It's really a pain for the Archbishop. He has been suppressed by the contemporary world overlords. The US has caused trouble again and again to refresh my understanding of the strength of the Costa del Blue Star Technology."

...

This incident has been very popular on the Internet in the mainland, and it is also the case abroad. This matter is also hotly discussed on the reddit forum.

A large number of North American users complained and cursed on this anonymous website forum. This news has absolutely had an impact on them. The share of the Azure series of mobile phones in the North American smartphone market is as high as more than 61%, and its popularity is self-evident.

The latest flagship phone, the Azure-5, is already expensive enough. With this, the retail price of an Azure-5 is already aiming at the 4,000 USD gear. It would be strange if local consumers don’t scold me. At this price, you can buy a Japanese used car locally.

It is clear that I don’t want consumers to buy this product, but local mobile phone brands cannot match it at all.

The stock price of Blue Star Technology has also fluctuated. This time, two companies fought together. The stock price rose and fell on the same day, and finally fell. It closed down 2.7% on the same day. Although it did not plummet, it could not withstand the super-large scale of Blue Star Technology's market value of up to US$1.82 trillion, which directly led to the evaporation of US$49.15 billion in the market value that day.

You should know that even if you look at the world, listed companies with a market value of US$50 billion are all selected from thousands of companies.

Investors were originally very excited and were looking forward to the birth of the first listed company in human history with a market value of over $2 trillion. Now, the goal of a market value of $2 trillion is undoubtedly covered with uncertainty by this matter.

After the Costa del Sur into the daylight on the eastern hemisphere that day, Yao Jianhong held a temporary media meeting that morning to respond to this matter, that is, words such as anger and protest.

As for when the media asked how the Costa à la Côte d'Azur would respond, Yao Jianhong said: Justice is in the hearts of the people, and believing in justice is the response.

This is equivalent to not saying anything, but the outside world, especially netizens, did not blame the Costa çare. On the contrary, they also gained a lot of sympathy. Although Costa çare is a giant in the eyes of ordinary people, as a company, it is definitely a vulnerable group in the face of the contemporary world overlord, and it is indeed a bit difficult for people to do so.

But in fact, this is not the case. How could Luo Sheng be beaten without moving?

The media responded that what is said publicly cannot be done, but what is really necessary is that it cannot be said publicly.

...

On July 22, the Executive Vice President’s Office.

A man named Li Li was standing next to Yao Jianhong's desk. Lao Yao ordered: "This time you are responsible for opening up new business channels in Mexico. The situation there is very complicated and dangerous. Your job is still to deal with local snakes. You must be more cautious in dealing with these desperate people in all aspects."

Faced with Yao Jianhong's repeated instructions, Li Lizheng pointed: "I understand."

After a moment, Yao Jianhong took out a business card from his office drawer and handed it to him, saying, "This is what Mr. Luo recommends to me. The first thing he does when he goes there is to find the contact person on the business card. They will provide you with paid security services for working in the local area."

Li Li took the business card and looked at it, muttering: "Horizon Commercial Security Insurance Group? Is this a security consulting company or an insurance company?"

Yao Jianhong immediately said: "The name is not important. What is important is what Mr. Luo recommends, which means you can trust it. After you go there, go directly to Monterrey, where Horizon Security Company has a branch."

In fact, Lao Yao also has no idea about this security consulting company with a weird name.

Li Li didn't think too much, just did it, put away the business card and nodded again: "I understand."

Yao Jianhong added: "Remember, the local major local snakes should not take the initiative to contact them. If you deal with them, you can quickly spread the channel network, but the goal is too big, and they dare not offend the United States and threaten it may be suppressed. At that time, we will waste time costs in vain. So the core idea is to increase the cost of FBI, and you have to go there to find those small and medium-sized gray forces."

Li Li nodded silently again and understood the intention of the boss's directive to do so. The local small and medium-sized gray forces had small goals and were scattered. The cost of Americans came out to curb the attack was too high.

At the same time, these small and medium-sized gray forces do not live as well as the local leading forces, and they need more ways to obtain gray income.

Hungry people can work harder, which is an eternal truth.

At the same time, especially the medium-sized gray forces, they have a greater desire to expand than the head and tail forces, but this requires more resources. To put it bluntly, they need more money.

This makes it easy to mobilize them.

Yao Jianhong added again: "Of course, it's not that the local leading forces will not deal with you. They come to contact you and deal with them. However, you have to stand at the height of the overall perspective of the overall situation, focus on cooperating with the central forces, suppress the proportion of the leading forces, and take into account the tail forces. Only in this way can the overall situation always be under our control, do you understand?"

Li Li replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Yao, I know how to do it."

Yao Jianhong nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said, "Then you go and prepare."

Although working with villains is like a deal with the devil, and if it is spread, it will definitely be criticized by some "moral" people, the law of survival in this world is how to legally and unruly.

Although it is not very glorious to cooperate with these villains to deal with, it is not wrong for villains to buy consumer products. The company trades with them completely legally.

As for what they bought it for, it has nothing to do with the Costa del Azure.

...

On July 24, Li Li arrived in Monterrey, Mexico.

Monterrey, with a population of more than 4 million, is considered to be the most nationalized city in Mexico. Its rich and colorful history and culture are its largest city. It has many pleasing natural beauty and is one of the few cities in the area with a good security environment.

Li Li had just arrived in Monterey City, and there was a small team with him, with a total of six people, all from China. The company relied on Li Li and the five other employees to open up new business channels here.

When I arrived here, I successfully found the distribution of Horizon Security Company in Monterrey according to the address.

"Hoda Commercial Security Insurance Group..." An employee who was accompanying stood in front of the door and glanced at the sign, muttered and couldn't help but say, "Boss, is this security company reliable?"

Li Li glanced at him and said, "This is arranged by the headquarters. I am not familiar with the place here. Do you think it is reliable to ask locals to recommend it, or to recommend it to the headquarters?"

"Well, of course the headquarters is reliable."

"Let's go, the situation here is much more exciting than the plot in Hong Kong movies. We really have to deal with some desperate people face to face."

Without the professional security personnel of Horizon Security Company, the probability of being attacked by the other party with goods worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars is almost 100%. Not to mention it for nothing, it may even take a life.

The rules of the game in the civilized world will not apply here, but only fists and calibers are recognized here.
