Watanabe was taken aback when he heard this, then burst out laughing. It was definitely the best joke he had heard in recent years.
"Do you know who's behind me? Kill us? How?" Watanabe Shi said with a smile, "Are you preparing for a financial war, a technological war, or a nuclear war?"
“There’s no need to be so arrogant. I’m not without my own tricks. You’ll find out in a few days. From Motorola to Goldman Sachs, you’ve only relied on relentlessly suppressing Asian companies and countries, haven’t you?” Lu Feng said into the phone. “Don’t say you’re a beast in my eyes. In the eyes of the Japanese, you’re still a beast.”
"Why are you hurling insults at me? I never care about other people's insults, because insults represent anger, and behind anger is helplessness. You should think about it: a few years ago, when you faced an opponent who was inferior to you, were you angry? Now you're angry at me, which only shows your weakness." Watanabe said slowly into the phone, "I heard your phones are selling well? That must be your biggest asset, right?"
"Our phones are selling alright. Motorola's space for survival in China will only shrink. We will survive!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
"Your vision is truly narrow, limited to market competition between one company and another. A true entrepreneur can see the rise and fall of a nation, and can even plan for its rise and fall. I can tell you this: you will never have the same business vision as me. You can be rich, but you will never become an entrepreneur because you are out of touch with the times. I stand with the tide of the times. Who is the leader of the times? The United States!" Watanabe said very frankly, "Even if you drive all Motorola and Nokia out of the country, how much of the global market will you occupy?"
“I’m not saying you’re no good, but I’m saying your country is no good, your people are no good, and you will always be dominated by us in every field. Do you know another Japanese-American? His name is Fukuyama, and he wrote a book called ‘The End of History’. You should take a good look at it.”
Watanabe's words were full of arrogance and contempt. He had a very high opinion of this man who had joined the United States like him, believing that Fukuyama had revealed the truth of the world and that his desperate attempt to join the United States was the right choice. He called Hirata Ichiro, who stayed in Japan and had previously helped Lu Feng, an uncivilized beast.
Lu Feng laughed upon hearing such remarks and said into the phone, "I understand. I think I know what kind of person you are. My personal abilities can't change much, but you can wait and see! I have the fire of a firefly, which cannot compare to the light of the sun and moon. Its fleeting glimpse can vent the anger of a common man!"
The person on the other end of the phone just chuckled twice and said nothing more. In Watanabe's eyes, Lu Feng was just making a futile struggle, like a peasant laborer in front of a powerful ship and cannon.
The call was disconnected, and Lu Feng just sat there blankly. Sometimes he felt that this person was hateful, but then he thought, how many 'Watanabe Shi's' are there in the country right now?
Watanabe doesn't care about Motorola's situation. He no longer works for Motorola. Even if he hadn't left, the Chinese market is too small compared to the global market. Now it's not that foreign companies are coming to sell high-priced goods, but rather that China is begging foreign companies to import high-end products.
Lying in bed that night, Lu Feng wished he could instantly have the power to overturn the world, but he didn't. Even though he was a reincarnated person, he still had to live in the current era. He couldn't conjure up an aircraft carrier like a magician, nor could he instantly bring global finance to China, let alone make countries all over the world his underlings.
Lu Feng stared at the ceiling, blinked a few times, and muttered, "We live like grandsons!"
The U.S. Maritime Department launched an investigation into the smuggling of embargoed goods. Su Yourong immediately used her extensive connections to clear herself of trouble. She paid someone to impersonate the legal representative of the shell company, destroyed all the original orders, insurance policies, and related documents, and created fake orders and documents to make the company appear to be a transit point, making it impossible to trace the final target company.
This is something that Su Yourong couldn't accomplish on her own. The higher-ups in China have also given instructions. In any case, there's only a little over a year left, and they still have some control over Hong Kong.
In South Africa, at the South African Tungsten Corporation, a three-story building is surrounded by a large courtyard. The courtyard is planted with tropical trees and various lawns, making it exceptionally tranquil and relaxing. On the third floor of the office building, in a conference room, Ma Wanjun looked at his colleagues who had been there for more than half a month and said, "Now that the Tungsten Industry Association has been established, it basically includes all major mining companies. More than half of the world's tungsten ore is transported from here, so when we reduce production together, we will inevitably face pressure from all sides."
"Yesterday, I met with several vice presidents and senior executives in South Africa. We want to help them increase their voice and influence in the global tungsten mining industry, reduce production, and raise prices! The tungsten alloy processing plants here are mostly foreign-owned. Who are their customers? The US military, Airbus, Boeing, and all kinds of high-tech manufacturing companies."
"So once production is reduced, it will inevitably cause huge turmoil. What I want to say is that everyone should try not to go out. At all times, your own safety should be the priority. The mines below will take away important components to avoid forced production. Everyone should stay at their posts. That's all."
Ma Wanjun emphasized the security issue, as he was well aware of the vulnerability here, especially being in a foreign country where there was nothing that could be done if something happened.
At the same time, arrangements were made for the surrender of irreplaceable parts of machinery from major mines, mine protection teams were set up, and good relations were maintained with the local police. The necessary expenses were definitely paid.
