149: Chapter 149 Sanctions! He must be sanctioned!

Cheap and easy to use,

coupled with overwhelming advertising,

and the unique, recognizable appearance of the Dual Curved Screen,

the xiaomi 6 set off a wave of phone upgrades in the Eagle Country,

and along with it, the reputation of xiaomi phones and Huayao Phones spread far and wide.

xiaomi phones, including Huayao's other sub-brand phones, also began to exert their strength,

basically following the same cost-performance route,

and their sales weren't bad either.

Within a month,

Huayao Phone's overall shipment volume reached number one in the Eagle Country's mobile phone market,

surpassing Apple, Microsoft's WP phones, as well as Samsung and other android phones!

At this time, the Eagle Country began to panic a little.

When had they ever suffered such a grievance?

They prided themselves on being the lighthouse of the world,

the most technologically advanced place on Earth!

And now, this most technologically advanced place,

actually had to use phones produced by another country,

how could those arrogant Eagle Country people accept this?

James Smith, the Secretary of Commerce of the Eagle Country, finished listening to the reports from his subordinates,

and immediately couldn't sit still.

For the situation to reach this point,

he, as the Secretary of Commerce, was definitely derelict in his duties.

But it wasn't too late yet,

he began to take the initiative,

spreading many rumors about Huayao Phones,

saying things like Huayao Phones had eavesdropping devices inside,

which could steal the information of Eagle Country people,

seriously endangering national security!

He also said that the various manufacturing materials for Dragon Country's phones were waste products from nuclear power generation,

which were very harmful to the body.

Even more so,

saying that Huayao Phones would secretly transfer money out of Eagle Country people's accounts!

In short, the more low-IQ the rumor, the better.

All sorts of absurd and ridiculous rumors spread wider and wider,

and the person in charge of Huayao Phone in the Eagle Country immediately reported this matter to Bai Jingqing.

At first, Bai Jingqing felt there was no need to pay attention,

as these rumors were completely groundless,

and even obviously fake at a glance!

Anyone who had received a nine-year compulsory education,

though he didn't know if the Eagle Country had nine-year compulsory education over there,

would definitely not believe such rumors.

But what he didn't expect was,

most Eagle Country people actually believed them!

In fact, many people in the Eagle Country hadn't received much education,

although the Eagle Country had many top scientists,

its citizens were equally ignorant,

some couldn't even figure out addition and subtraction within 100.

Many people actually took these rumors to be true!

So, a wave of boycotting Huayao Phones also rose among the populace.

Bai Jingqing was truly puzzled,

was the IQ of these Americans really this low?

They could actually believe such low-IQ rumors?

For a moment, he couldn't quite grasp the market of the American continent.

Boycotts were boycotts,

but boycotts couldn't fill stomachs,

as for Huayao Phones,

they could be bought with just two days' work,

and they were cheap and easy to use.

Although there were many small groups among the people claiming to boycott Huayao Phones,

and they even launched many protest activities,

they still didn't cause much of a stir.

Whatever they shouted was their business,

the people would naturally vote with their feet,

giving their own choices.

After all their fussing,

Huayao Phone's reputation actually grew even larger,

thoroughly opening up sales channels across the various states of the Eagle Country.

Bai Jingqing also directed the person in charge on the front lines in the Eagle Country to take the opportunity to expand Huayao's business to every major state in the Eagle Country,

taking shipment volumes to the next level.

He was indeed selling the xiaomi 6 at a loss,

but Huayao was about to launch the xiaomi 7 soon.

With the xiaomi 7, he would naturally recoup those losses from them!

The calculations in Bai Jingqing's heart were very clear.

The person in charge over there was still reporting to him,

saying that a wave of anti-Huayao activities had risen on the American continent,

even extending to a wave of opposition against Made in Dragon Country.

To this, Bai Jingqing was dismissive.

As long as the indicators on the financial reports were still rising,

if they wanted to oppose, let them oppose.

Bai Jingqing directed the person in charge in the Eagle Country,

telling him to go into those protest lines resisting Dragon Country products entering the Eagle Country,

and look at the flags they held and the hats they wore,

weren't they all Made in Dragon Country?

The person in charge went to look according to Bai Jingqing's orders,

and found it was true!

It could be said that Made in Dragon Country had already swept through every aspect of the Eagle Country,

to the point that without Made in Dragon Country,

the Eagle Country would simply have no way to live a normal life!

And now, Bai Jingqing's Huayao company would continue its invasion of the Eagle Country.

From the previously lower-end, high-quality, and inexpensive gadgets Made in Dragon Country,

to future phones and various large-scale precision instruments,

and even in the end, perhaps even those rockets, spaceships, and so on,

would all be Made in Dragon Country!

From this perspective,

it could also be said that the Dragon Country was truly rising,

while the Eagle Country was declining day by day.

Although the Eagle Country's Department of Commerce quickly launched a counterattack,

trying everything to publicize to the people what harms Huayao Phones had,

and then letting the people spontaneously boycott them,

their official government ultimately didn't step onto the field.

Because the Eagle Country always prided itself on freedom and democracy,

it was an extremely free country,

although they couldn't stand Huayao,

and couldn't stand the manufacturers from the Dragon Country,

they couldn't bring themselves to directly expel them.

If they really did that,

would they be slapping their own faces?

That wouldn't be consistent with the slogans of freedom and democracy they usually promoted.

Unless absolutely necessary,

they wouldn't do such a thing.

However, gradually,

they also discovered,

that the measures they had taken didn't seem to have any real substantive impact on Huayao Phones,

and Huayao Phones were still being sold as they should be!

Mainly because it was cheap and easy to use,

it had a high reputation among the common people,

making it truly not that easy to bring down.

"What to do? What to do?"

James Smith, the Secretary of Commerce, was very anxious at this time,

pacing back and forth alone in his office.

"Ah, why not ask the magical Old Deng?"

So he made a phone call to the President of the Eagle Country, Old Bi Deng,

asking him for instructions on what to do.

Old Bi Deng, of course, couldn't stand any good news about the Dragon Country,

in this world now,

truly no country dared to touch a single hair of the Eagle Country,

or dared to compete with the Eagle Country.

Except for the Dragon Country.

And it just so happened to be this Dragon Country,

which was going against them every day,

not wanting to follow the leadership of their Eagle Country.

The key was that this Dragon Country,

always prided itself on having a positive image,

thereby making some of the Eagle Country's illegal actions appear extremely evil by comparison,

in the eyes of the people of the world,

the Eagle Country, the leader of all nations, instead became the big villain!

This had always made the Eagle Country's President, Old Bi Deng, very unhappy.

So no matter what happened,

as long as it could target the Dragon Country,

he would naturally support it with all his might!

He directly issued an instruction: "Sanctions!

Must give them severe sanctions!

Even products like mobile phones, which represent high-tech industries,

your 'Made in Dragon Country' products are being sold right over our heads in the Eagle Country,

how can this be tolerated?

I don't even dare to imagine what you'll sell us next!

Sanctions! There must be sanctions!"
