Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

at the same time.

The major home appliance giants in the island nation are also holding an important meeting regarding the future.

Representatives from more than a dozen companies, led by Sony Group.

Gathered in a private estate on the island nation.

A few months ago, various companies, led by Sony Group, launched an unprecedented price war with Best Buy Group.

They try to attract consumers back to the island country's products by using hurtful means.

No one expected that when the price war reached a life-and-death stage, the US government would intervene and take sides.

The U.S. Department of Commerce met with overseas heads of island companies involved in the trade war and warned them to stop.

A long-term price war will only damage the market and is not conducive to the healthy development of business.

Even so, island companies still refuse to give up.

Once the action is stopped, the market share of Japanese electrical appliances will shrink significantly.

As one grows while the other shrinks, the cheap electrical appliances imported by Best Buy Group from Dragon Country will quickly seize the market gap left by the island country's enterprises.

Then, an even more unexpected situation occurred.

The shamelessness of the US officials makes island countries' companies angry and hateful.

U.S. officials have once again issued a warning that they are preparing to further cut import quotas for electrical appliances from the island country.

At the moment of life and death, island companies have to calm down.

Through the meeting, we came up with a plan to deal with the current unfavorable situations.

Sony Group Vice President, Miyamoto Ryoichi, who chaired the meeting, said: "Dear gentlemen, my company's president is currently in the United States handling important matters and is temporarily unable to return to the country to preside over this meeting."

"I was ordered to express the attitude of our Sony Group on his behalf. Best Buy Group used a ridiculous and shameless method to purchase a large number of cheap home appliances from Longguo. What is the purpose? Everyone has seen it."

"US companies want to completely drive our home appliances out of the US market. This is unacceptable to us and is a violation of free business."

"The government has repeatedly favored Best Buy Group out of self-interest, and a large number of US companies have taken this opportunity to criticize us. Our exports have reached a critical juncture."

"If we take a step back, the outcome that awaits us may very well be our utter destruction."

Hearing this, an elderly man said, "Mr. Miyamoto, we all know what you said. The key issue now is that we are simply unable to stop the cooperation between Best Buy Group and Dragon Country Enterprise."

"In order to fight against the Soviet Union, the United States has elevated the importance of Dragon Country to a strategic level. In front of the national strategic policy, everything else has to take second place."

In one sentence, it reveals the biggest problem at present.

The United States attaches much more importance to the Dragon Country than to the Island Country.

After all, Longguo can help the United States contain millions of Soviet troops.

All the island countries can do is provide international support and financial assistance to the United States.

There is nothing left to do.

What the United States needs is not just money, but a powerful helper.

An important strategic partner that could help them contain the Soviet Union and fight against it.

The island country has had long-term contact with Dragon Country and is well aware of Dragon Country’s labor costs.

Compared with the rising labor costs in island countries, the labor costs in Dragon Country are almost zero.

The Dragon Country is vast and rich in resources, and a series of production materials can be obtained locally, unlike island countries that need to import production materials from abroad.

Even if the import price is not high, it will still drive up the cost of the product.

The arrogant island nation's business community never thought that one day it would be troubled by a Dragon Country enterprise.

I never thought that the United States would turn against us so easily.

When island countries are needed, treat them as important partners.

The island countries were given a lot of preferential treatment, which enabled them to develop rapidly from the ruins after the war.

When an island country is no longer needed, they will use various means to suppress its development.

"Gentlemen, I have a solution that may be able to solve our high cost problem."

A corporate representative at the back of the venue spoke up.

Miyamoto Ryoichi said, "Kobayashi-kun, please speak."

"Longguo has low labor costs, which is something everyone knows. If that's the case, why can't we invest and build a factory in Longguo?"

"We will use the cheap labor in Longguo to produce our home appliances. Then, through a group of companies acquired in the United States, these companies will come forward to sign contracts with our factories and follow the practice of Best Buy Group to sell the products produced in Longguo to the domestic market in the name of American products."

These slightly awkward words made everyone's eyes light up.

What American companies can do, island countries can also do.

They can even do better than American companies.

Seeing that no one opposed his idea, the representative from Toshiba Group went further and said, "Longguo is undergoing economic restructuring. For them, what they need most is money, followed by technology, various production materials and equipment."

"As long as we show a little sincerity, Longguo will certainly welcome island companies with open arms, open factories on their land, hire Longguo people to work for us, and make cheap home appliances for us."

"We should not only learn from the cooperation model between Best Buy Group and Northern Machinery, but also do better on the existing basis."

"Don't forget that over the years, we have purchased a large amount of land in the United States, acquired their companies, and turned overseas products into American products. It is not difficult for us at all."

"Xiao Lin, are you willing to act as a representative and contact the Northern Machinery Company on our behalf?"

Miyamoto Ryoichi said suddenly: "We must not only invest in building a factory in Longguo, but also fundamentally dismantle the cooperation between Northern Machinery Company and Best Buy Group."

"Once there is a crack in their cooperation, our opportunity will come."

After the words were spoken, the place fell into complete silence.

Kobayashi Koji said: "If we bring Northern Machinery Company to our side, we can give the same as Best Buy Group can, and even more?"

Miyamoto Ryo nodded and said, "The reason why Northern Machinery Company and Best Buy Group have come up with so many tricks is simply because they are worried that their home appliances will suffer the same fate as us."

"In the final analysis, it always comes down to money. As long as the benefits are enough, any alliance can be broken down."

Kobayashi Koji showed an expression of approval.

Indeed, any alliance can be broken up if the benefits are great enough.

Any product can be sold out.

Including technological products that are strictly regulated by the United States.

Nobody knows.

Toshiba Group is secretly conducting a huge smuggling transaction for profit.

Once the transaction is exposed, it will cause an uproar around the world.

While Toshiba Group is dying without a burial place.

The maritime advantage that is firmly controlled by the United States will also undergo a dramatic reversal.
