Chapter 144 Let the Bullets Fly for a While



An hour later.

At a video conference convened by the US, Biden announced a new sanctions resolution against China with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

Unsurprisingly, the sanctions resolution was passed unanimously.

These allies are facing far more severe protests and demonstrations at home than the US, and they are already overwhelmed with problems.

Some countries have even secretly curryed favor with China and begun importing Chinese goods.

However, since they were stolen, the quantity won't be large, and the price will be high.

On the very day the resolution was passed, these allies immediately resumed importing daily necessities from China.

At the same time, they also relaxed restrictions on Chinese high-tech products, waiting for Chinese companies to make large-scale purchases.

China, Mousse Headquarters.

After receiving the new sanctions resolution from the United States, Li Muyue immediately contacted Ye Chen, her face showing a hint of worry.

"The Tiangong Kaiwu Project has just been launched, which is precisely when the demand for these high-tech products is the greatest."

"Many of the companies that support Tiangong Kaiwu have only just begun to expand, and their production capacity is far from sufficient. If the United States lifts export restrictions on high-tech products to China at this time, it will greatly seize the Chinese market."

"Moreover, they have also restricted the export of high-tech products from China, leaving our products without a market. This has had a huge impact on us. How should we respond?"

Ye Chen remained calm, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Mu Yue, don't rush. We are now in control. First-class companies set standards, second-class companies build brands, third-class companies sell technology, and only fourth-class companies make products."

"You want to set standards?" A flash of insight struck Li Muyue, and she seemed to understand something.

"good."

Ye Chen put down his teacup, showing no sign of urgency, but rather appearing quite relaxed.

"You issue a public announcement stating that all products used in the Tiangong Kaiwu Project must meet the technical standards set by Mousse."

"Furthermore, if you release the existing technical standards, let's see if those Western high-tech companies will follow suit?"

“If we follow suit, they will have to reinvest in upgrading their production lines, which will put them behind us in terms of time.”

"If they don't follow, that's even better; we'll win without a fight!"

"You'd already thought it through, hadn't you? You made me worry for nothing!" Li Muyue said coquettishly when she saw Ye Chen's relaxed demeanor.

"When the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan was first formulated, it was a self-contained system. It can only be said that those Western countries just happened to stumble upon it."

......

Mousse Group's official announcement: "To ensure the progress and quality of the Tiangong Kaiwu Project, all partners participating in this initiative have been given the following admission rules, as detailed below..."

With the release of the Mousse Group's standards, there is no particular impact on Chinese companies that have already participated in the Tiangong Kaiwu Project.

These technical standards were provided to them by the Mousse Group at the beginning of the cooperation.

I was preparing to visit the company that implemented the Tiangong Kaiwu Project, and upon comparing the published standards, I discovered that they differed significantly from existing Western products.

They immediately stopped purchasing Western high-tech products and began looking for domestic companies that met their standards, which sparked another wave of demand.

Eagle.

The president's office at Stone Corporation.

Thomson sat in the boss's chair with his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the massage from his female secretary on his lap, looking completely blissful.

Recently, the United States lifted restrictions on high-tech products from China, meaning their 5G chips can once again be sold to Chinese mobile phone companies.

This was undoubtedly a huge boon for Stone, and its stock price doubled.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the female secretary hurriedly hid under the desk without even having time to tidy herself up.

Thomson sat up straight, frowned, and said loudly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man walked in with a serious expression, holding a report.

Upon seeing that it was the company's vice president, Thomson pointed to the chair opposite the desk and said, "Frank, please sit down. What can I do for you?"

Frank was slightly surprised. In the past, the president would always stand up to greet him whenever he came. Why was he sitting still this time?

However, he didn't think much of it and handed the report to Thomson, saying, "President, take a look at this announcement. It was issued by the Huaguo Mousse Group."

Thomson paused for a moment, then picked up the report and began to read it. Soon, his expression gradually turned serious.

Suddenly, he gripped the report tightly with both hands to keep himself from making a sound.

However, an unusual expression inevitably appeared on his face.

The next moment, Thomson realized there was something wrong with his expression and immediately forced himself to return to a serious look.

Frank, sitting opposite the president, watched the changes in his expression and felt a little uncertain.

He originally thought the CEO would be very angry, but judging from his expression, he seemed somewhat satisfied.

This made him uneasy, and he didn't know how to start the conversation he had prepared.

However, not long after, Thomson spoke first: "Yes! Mousse Group is setting technical standards to exclude our products."

"Let them compete for the first release and priority purchase rights of this year's flagship chips. I refuse to believe that those Chinese mobile phone companies won't want them!"

A smug look appeared on his face as he continued, "Using technical standards to restrict things is something we've already done before. The Mousse Group is still too green to learn from this."

"Well, President, I've already spoken to them, but they still refuse to buy!" Frank said with a helpless expression.

"What? How come these Chinese mobile phone companies are so tough now?" Thomson said, his expression returning to normal, no longer showing his previous smugness.

"They claim to have participated in the Tiangong Kaiwu project as well, and unless our 5G chips meet the technical standards, they won't be able to use them even if they buy them," Frank said.

"The Tiangong Kaiwu Project? What a joke! Three years to establish several bases in the solar system and mine space resources!"

"Frank, do you think this plan is reliable? I think they're just using this as an excuse; ultimately, they just want more benefits!"

Thomson smiled dismissively and continued, "Let's leave them hanging for now. Also, spread the word that one of them is close to reaching a first-launch agreement with us, to provoke the others."

"Okay, President, I'll give it a try first, but I feel like it might not work this time." Frank nodded, his expression still not very optimistic.

"Trust me, go ahead and do it. These Chinese mobile phone companies are only good at fighting amongst themselves. They'll be scrambling to be the first to launch!" Thomson said confidently.

"Yes, President, I'll take my leave now." Frank said, standing up and walking out.

After Frank left, Thomson grabbed the secretary's mischievous hand and pulled her up.
