Chapter 287 America: What I Needed Has Been Moved Here
"Public relations department, issue a statement."
The content doesn't need to be too radical, but it should express our stance: we respect market rules, but we are not afraid of any unfair treatment.
Our products do not rely on any American technology, and the sanctions will not affect Transsion's operations.
Li Qing nodded.
"Also, I'll post my own Weibo posts..."
Li Qing nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook his head and looked at Zhang Shiqing. After all, President Shen's temper was probably quite bad at this moment, what if...
"Let him send it. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong," Zhang Shiqing said.
"Old Zhang, you've crossed the line. This is my jurisdiction, and I should be responsible for any consequences."
Mr. Shen, don't listen to him, you have to yell back.
Don't worry, the two of us will go to Kyoto after the meeting and demand an explanation from you.
Li Qing, Wang Hua, and others quickly stepped forward, and indeed, having connections in the court made things much easier.
That afternoon, Transsion issued a statement on its official website. As an official statement, the tone was relatively restrained.
At almost the same time, Shen Fei's personal Weibo account was also updated.
"Sigh, after keeping a low profile for so long, the first time we've made headlines this year is with the sanctions imposed by the United States. But don't those roughnecks think they're giving us a taste of our own medicine?"
When we were asking around in Africa, some people tried to stop us, but in the end, they all had to sheepishly ask us to go back.
As for the relevant departments in the United States, I'm sorry, but what I needed has already been moved back.
Regarding your sanctions, please check our patent list on our official website. Remember to pay your patent fees on time.
After Shen Fei posted, Yu Dazui, sensing the opportunity, came over and commented in the comments section using his official account.
"This isn't a sanction, but rather recognition of the strong. I hope we can get this recognition soon, but alas, we're too weak."
"Haha, Mr. Yu is here too!"
"Sanctions? The technology for transmitting sound is all our own; what's the point of sanctions?"
"Mr. Shen is right, this is the best GG, after all, it means that Transsion's technology has been recognized by the United States."
"That's something to brag about for a year."
"Motorola is banned, so let's sell it in China. Our market is big enough anyway."
"As expected of Huaxing's core business, their brains aren't working very well. There's a reason why they're sanctioning Huaxin Technology."
He broke the rules in the capital market, so it's reasonable for them to punish him.
It would be strange if they didn't punish them!
"Exactly, some manufacturers treat users like idiots and fool them, and the users even speak up for them. It's outrageous. It's too easy to make money off idiots."
Meanwhile, Zhang Shiqing and Secretary Li also went to Kyoto to discuss countermeasures.
After all, Huang Tianya, or rather Shen Fei, brought so many good things back to China from America; they absolutely cannot accept this grievance...
Therefore, before the meeting even started, the Ministry of Commerce officially issued a public announcement.
"China will retaliate in kind against the unreasonable sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce on China's Huaxin Technology."
Fruit companies will face certain restrictions.
…………
But less than an hour after China issued its announcement, the sanctions advocates in the United States completed all the procedures while Obama was hurling insults.
Following an emergency hearing, a federal court banned the Motorola brand from being sold in the United States, citing national security concerns.
The judgment on this major issue was only three pages long, and the reasons given were very vague.
The only clear outcome is that Motorola must exit the American market unless Huaxin Investment sells it to a trustworthy American entity or another proven technology company.
After reviewing the judgment, the professional general counsel only said one sentence: "It's baseless."
Li Qing, standing to the side, cautiously asked, "Boss, should we appeal?"
"No appeal." Chen Fei crumpled the report into a ball and threw it into the trash can. "A waste of time."
"That Motorola..."
"Now let's make a big fuss by officially announcing our withdrawal from the US market on the official website." A sly smile appeared on Shen Fei's face. "Since they've set the stage, we have to put on a good show."
That way, when the higher-ups strike, it will hurt more; after all, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Li Qing nodded quickly.
Therefore, Transsion officially announced its plan to withdraw from the American market on its official website.
Some rumors have also surfaced online.
Digital Chat Station: "The industry has been hit hard this time, and next year's revenue is estimated to be halved."
The profit margin for Transsion S1 units in the US market is roughly twice that in the domestic market.
Last year, the S2 sold 3700 million units in the United States, directly capturing half of the high-end market.
The S3 has sold over 9.8 million units in less than two months since its launch this year, and sales are expected to exceed 10 million this month, but now…
As soon as the Digital Chat Station released its message, countless music fans and Huawei fans turned it into their headquarters and began an endless stream of complaints!
"Looking at it this way, the United States is indeed quite shameless. They sell well, so they use dirty tricks to impose sanctions."
However, Apple's configuration is indeed no match for the S3, it seems that only its own low-end phones can occupy the market every day.
S2 built a good reputation, but S3 was just starting to gain momentum when they were suddenly choked. That's incredibly underhanded.
"As expected of America, they talk about the free market, but all they do is control patents and distribution channels. Chen Ying even acquired Motorola to expand into this market."
As a result, they panicked when other companies' sales picked up, realizing they'd lost half their market share, and resorted to such underhanded sanctions. It's both cowardly and sour.
"The person upstairs is right. Don't use the Huaxin Investment's illegal operations as an excuse. After all, you Americans know in your hearts how many shameless things you've done in the capital market."
At least we invested in a few companies within the bounds of legality and compliance, which is better than you guys messing around with other people's currencies.
"It's hilarious. They were bragging about 980 million units as if they were going to top the charts, but then they got their supply channels blocked by the US."
This is what they call the "high-end half of the market," but it doesn't seem very useful at all!
…………
Meanwhile, in the Ministry of Commerce conference room.
Zhang Shiqing, who knows Shenyang Aircraft Corporation best, was the first to give a work report.
"After reading this report, everyone understands very clearly that the so-called violations are all just excuses they made."
The reason for the acquisition of Motorola was that Transsion had squeezed out the market share of local brands in North America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Then the two brands kept vying for their market share.
Shenfei and his team have mastered independent technologies in screen, chip production and packaging, and systems, and possess a large number of patents.
Simply cutting off the supply of spare parts didn't have much effect, so they directly used state tools.
Currently, Transsion's overseas contract manufacturers, logistics, and channels do not rely on key nodes in the United States.
Unable to control the situation, they tried to overturn the table, but after investigation, all they could do was drive Huaxin Investment and Motorola out of America.
Let this plague go away quickly.
