Su Ran didn't go into details, but that was the general direction; the rest of the operations were left to them.

The Su family now has quite a few subsidiaries in the U.S. and in other countries as well. She wants to use a united front to suppress them and try to supply them from abroad.

He didn't even consider whether she agreed or not.

One by one, we'll deal with their basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, transportation, healthcare, and military matters. We'll gradually throw them into disarray, setting a trap for them to fall into one by one.

The details to follow are entirely up to them; this time, she'll make these people bleed a lot.

...

"Boss, what do we do? Su's Group unilaterally breached the contract! The penalty for breach of contract has been paid according to regulations! But no other company can take over such a huge order!"

"Damn it! You're asking me what to do? I'm the boss! I hired you to solve problems! Not to come to me every time there's a problem! You're as stupid as a pig! Oh no! Even a pig is smarter than you!"

"Boss! Many daily necessities stores are already closed, and now a lot of people are shouting in front of the government building. Are we really not going to force them to open their stores?"

"Why would they open it? The prices of their products are outrageously high. Are they trying to make a fortune while the society is in turmoil? Is that even possible? Then we won't open it. We're not going to starve anyway."

"Boss! Are we really going to fire the other employees? This isn't a small amount! It could very well cause financial turmoil!"

"What's the point of keeping them open! Orders have plummeted! Are we going to keep this bunch of useless people around and pay them on time?! If you have money, go ahead and pay them! Fire them all! Keep the mid-level staff, we'll recruit new talent when we need it later!"

"Boss, are you sure you want to mass-produce? But what if we can't sell them? We'll be finished if there's a pile of goods and nobody buys them!"

"What's the rush? It's not like we're selling to these foreigners. Let the employees work hard, we're going to make a lot of money in the coming days!"

...

Such events occurred in many places, and can be considered the first clash between Su Ran and the Ugly Kingdom.

Although there are no results yet, they will gradually appear.

The more people are fired, the better. Those who are fired may be doing well for a while, but what will happen to them later?

Life without money is tough.

It's not just local business owners who aren't opening shops; many of them are like Su Ran. Why would they open a shop? They don't have anything to sell, so it's perfectly normal for them not to.

As for the large-scale production of goods, that's simple. Who would say that something is going to be sold to the U.S.? They can forward it and sell it to other countries.

As for those who want to leave, haven't they read the latest US newspaper?

A large-scale war broke out outside the United States. People who value their lives did not flee, and the United States did not dare to use high-damage weapons, since the war was taking place right next door, and no one wanted to.

But the soldiers they sent out were repeatedly sent back wrapped in white cloth, and many U.S. soldiers were unwilling to fight and instead stayed at home.

no way.

Many people abroad do not have a strong sense of belonging to their own country, so many are unwilling to sacrifice themselves to fight for the U.S.

Not to mention the stock market.

Because some companies have drastically reduced production, resulting in reduced profits and, more importantly, public criticism, some people have sold off their shares.

However, these sold-off stocks were all quietly bought up. There were many people selling their stocks, after all, with the external military turmoil, they wanted to exchange their goods for money and stay at home.

Many listed companies have also been hit hard, with some even facing cash flow problems and going bankrupt.

Some people who hold too few shares are removed from office due to the current stock market crash, and the person who holds the most shares takes over.

Such incidents are not uncommon, suggesting that there is a hidden hand behind the scenes quietly driving this situation forward.

Thus, those who stayed in the Ugly Kingdom couldn't leave, and those outside couldn't enter; it could be said that the Ugly Kingdom was currently in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Moreover, the people fighting around here are all unknown, but they seem to have unlimited energy, fighting outside all day long, and dragging anyone who gets close in to join the melee without explanation.

Many of those who came to support the Ugly Kingdom complained bitterly.

They couldn't use high-damage weapons, because once the weapon was released, the US would be close to being sued in an international military tribunal. So they had to send troops out again and again to suppress it, but ultimately they couldn't solve the problem at its source.

[Please don't relate this to reality; the entire story is fictional, so please don't compare it to real-world situations.]

Therefore, the United States is currently in dire straits, especially the government, which is practically driven mad by the current situation.

His phone was ringing off the hook, but no country was willing to provide support. His own phone was also ringing off the hook with calls from protesters. He felt like he was about to lose his position. Should he ask that Young Pioneer to come instead?

......

The initial phase of the operation passed quickly. In the first few months after the incident, the leaders of the U.S. government didn't even take it seriously. After all, they had been living a carefree life for too long, and they didn't believe that anyone would target them.

Therefore, this matter was carried out with their tacit approval.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. The domestic economy was gradually entering a recession, and despite their attempts to contact local manufacturers, none of them were willing to cooperate.

After all, they're not stupid. They can see the current situation. They were willing to help a while ago, since it would give them a chance to show their face at the national leadership level, but they're unwilling to help anymore no matter what.

Because they have no money to earn, no one is paying them, and there aren't many buyers. They want to export, but that's restricted. There's a war going on outside, so which transport team would be willing to go out? They can't offer high prices either, and the transport teams are asking for exorbitant prices. They don't want to pay, but most importantly, they can't afford to.

So the situation is at a stalemate. Manufacturers are unwilling to sell at low prices and cannot contact transportation teams, so they simply supply some to local capitalists and keep the original price for themselves, which is enough to ensure that their own families don't starve.

He also kept most of them and sold them to his employees at high prices.

This is equivalent to the company making money and spending it all; nobody wants to take a single penny home.

At first, the employees didn't think much of it. Although the purchase price was higher than the cost price, it was still lower than the market price.

But gradually they felt the prices skyrocketing.

Because of the lack of raw materials, manufacturers cannot obtain finished products and therefore set high prices for their goods, which causes hardship for the local people.

People organized marches in the streets to criticize the local government's inaction, and some even smashed up local shops and looted them.

Moreover, under these circumstances, more and more people are choosing to take extreme measures, such as robbery, gunfights, and riots. In a country that is not peaceful to begin with, this incident has brought out the darkness in the hearts of most people.

This incident makes it seem as if the Ugly Kingdom has entered its final days.
