106: Chapter 106 A Farce
"Alright, I'll head back and report to the higher-ups immediately!"
At this moment, Zhong Guoqiang looked hopeful: "Gao Yuan, about that Life-Sustaining Base Fluid technology..."
"Sorry, Elder Zhong, I can't make the call on that. I need to consult with the R&D team as well!"
Zhong Guoqiang was stunned. Then how come you could make the call on those other technologies just now?
But he soon understood. If Gao Yuan told him the principles, wouldn't that be the same as sharing the technology?
Forget Gao Yuan—even for himself, it was naturally impossible to just casually tell others about a technology he had spent so much effort developing.
Zhong Guoqiang's expression looked a bit dejected.
"Alright, I understand! Sorry for the trouble!"
...
After Qin Tiejun and the others left, Gao Yuan knew that he could only rely on himself to confront America.
Then he would let them witness the power of an interstellar battleship and feel the crushing weight of a thousand-year gap.
Meanwhile, in America, a farce was unfolding!
The official website of the American Federal Government had a poster for "earth rescue" plastered across it.
Below it was a line in Chinese.
"Trash, come and fight me if you have the guts!"
Although this scene only lasted for 20 minutes, screenshots were quickly taken by netizens and spread everywhere.
Especially on Douyin International Version.
Such images were everywhere.
The comment sections below were also overwhelmingly one-sided.
"Black Fish Technology is right, the Federal Government is a pile of dog shit!"
"‘earth rescue’ is great!"
"Just finished the movie and then saw this. Chinese people are saving the world, while our politicians only think about plundering!"
"Haha, well done!"
"Black Fish Technology is awesome!"
MGM President Little Tom and fukesi own company President Jack were currently sitting in a cafe, watching this farce.
"The effect is better than we imagined!"
"Yeah, the Federal Government is probably going to be completely enraged this time!"
"I also contacted the head of JPMorgan, Old Harry! I sounded him out, and he supports the decapitation of Gao Yuan!"
"However, I'm worried that the New Leader might be afraid of provoking China and won't dare to act!"
Jack said.
"As long as it's done cleanly, China will just have to suffer in silence! When the time comes, we'll take back our money, and Old Harry will take over Black Fish Technology's Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines!"
"Can we get the technology?"
"With Gao Yuan around, it's very difficult. Old Harry was set up by Gao Yuan in China before, and Nine Stars suffered serious losses. Old Harry sent people to China wanting to infiltrate Black Fish Technology! But their team is like a solid wall; there's no way in. If Gao Yuan dies, that R&D team will definitely need to find a new agent. That's when Old Harry's chance will come!"
Jack picked up his coffee: "Congratulations to us!"
"May that day come soon!"
...
The hacking of the Federal official website triggered a global upheaval.
Now all countries were watching America to see how they would respond.
The New Leader had been very annoyed lately. Previously, she had used a fake video to turn the tables and successfully take office.
She thought she would hold great power from then on! But after actually coming up, she realized that the President is actually just an agent.
She had many bosses behind her.
If the bosses' demands were consistent, that would be fine, but most of the time, the bosses could not reach an agreement.
Besides being responsible to the bosses, there were also numerous affairs to handle.
When the economy was bad, people cursed her; when welfare was poor, they also cursed her. Now, more importantly, after the suppression by the previous two Presidents, China had not only refused to yield but was instead going to revolt!
The chip blockade was counter-encircled by Black Fish Technology. Now the semiconductor industry under American control was in total disarray. Moreover, because she had personally lifted the ban on Black Fish chips to get into office, it wasn't easy to block them again.
What's more, a blockade was useless! If they didn't use Chinese chips, their product performance wouldn't match China's, yet the costs would be far higher. This was equivalent to handing over the world market to Chinese products.
To maintain product competitiveness, they had to use Chinese chips...
Never mind the chips.
Now Black Fish Technology even wanted to sell wrist machines in America!
What is a wrist machine?
The phone of the future.
Once wrist machines spread across America, the American Fruit Phone would be completely finished.
Fruit Phone was the king of the world's mobile phones, with sales and profits far higher than its Chinese counterparts.
So as soon as the wrist machine went on sale, Fruit Phone panicked.
Fruit Phone's largest shareholder, Carl, was a true Wall Street tycoon. When the wrist machine went on sale, Fruit Company's stock plummeted by 20% that day. This was a situation that had never occurred since the Fruit Phone went on sale.
If the wrist machine was allowed to continue selling, the Fruit Company stock in Carl's hands would become trash! So he immediately used his connections and united many Wall Street tycoons to pressure the New Leader, demanding the ban of Black Fish Technology.
The New Leader had no choice.
Banning the wrist machine and Constant Temperature Clothing was the best option.
She thought she had made all the preparations. On one hand, the media publicized that Black Fish Technology's products had radiation, were harmful to the body, and even stole private information!
On the other hand, she set a timetable for Douyin, because among the media, only Douyin was not under control.
However, because Douyin had so many users, it was difficult to ban it in a short time. Setting a timetable was to put pressure on Douyin so they wouldn't dare to get involved in anything.
But now things were going against her wishes. Not only did Douyin not compromise, but it also intensified its actions, completely going against the mainstream media! This caused many teenagers to have an even stronger rebellious streak; as long as the government supported something, they opposed it!
Now Black Fish Technology was even more audacious. Not only did they hack various film distribution companies to forcibly release their movies, but they also hacked the Federal official website!
Now the pressure was on the New Leader's side.
The ousted East King publicly proclaimed in his speech today that the New Leader was a coward who didn't dare to do anything to China at all.
She could only watch helplessly as America became a dumping ground for Chinese products!
At this moment, the New Leader was holding a meeting!
Ministers of various departments, as well as members of Congress, the Senate, and governors of various states had all come!
The hacking of the Federal official website was simply too embarrassing!
Now the congressmen were demanding that the New Leader immediately announce the arrest of Black Fish Technology's Gao Yuan.
The New Leader was in a difficult position.
"Quiet, everyone. The Federal Government is researching a strategy!"
Becken stood up: "Researching what? By the time you finish researching, Black Fish Technology will have already conquered America!"
"I propose we use missiles to eliminate Gao Yuan directly!"
"If we don't punish Black Fish Technology, America will become the laughingstock of the world!"
It was chaotic below.
The New Leader really wanted to turn around and leave. She could ignore the ordinary congressmen! But some of the congressmen below were representatives of major consortiums.
She didn't know what their intentions were.
"Quiet down, everyone. Speak one by one. Now I will call names. David, what do you think should be done?"
"Without a doubt, only by decapitating Gao Yuan can we wash away America's shame!"
"What if China overreacts and wants to retaliate?"
At this point, another congressman shouted: "Then it's war!"
