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

Richard, a cabinet aide sent by President Reagan to Dragon Country as a special envoy for negotiations, first found the military department of Dragon Country.

Request the three-service headquarters to stop exporting drones to Latvia.

General Liu directly threw out a cold shoulder.

The drone business is a civilian commodity transaction, and the government has no right to interfere in the export trade of private enterprises.

If the United States feels that the civilian products business has an impact on the U.S. military, it should communicate with the Northern Machinery Group.

"Mr. Lin, your company has deep business ties with the United States. I hope you can put the overall situation first and stop exporting drones to Abdul."

Richard arrived at the headquarters of Northern Machinery Group with great anger and expressed the tough attitude of the United States directly.

As long as Lin Kaifeng stops exporting drones, all deals will be easy to negotiate.

The words implicitly reminded Lin Kaifeng that Northern Machinery Group has a lot of investments and businesses in the United States.

If Lin Kaifeng insists on his own way, the US officials may freeze and seize Northern Machinery Group's overseas assets on the charge of assisting in war crimes.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Mr. Chad, there is one thing I don't quite understand. The Soviet Union did not impose sanctions on the military weapons it supplied to Latvia, but it interfered with my company's drone business. I regard the United States as a partner and a good friend. Has the United States ever considered the position of our group?"

Without waiting for Richard to say anything else, Lin Kaifeng said sarcastically, "Before the war started, your country made a request to our group and ordered us to stop exporting military products to Lak."

"In view of the cooperative relationship between us, our group agreed to the US request and will no longer export missile boats and other weapons and equipment to Latvia."

"Now, you are interfering even with the export of civilian goods. Isn't that too much?"

Richard said with a gloomy face, "The United States will not interfere with the normal export of civilian goods, but Abdul turned your group's civilian goods into military weapons to attack the US military. Every day, a large number of US soldiers and coalition soldiers are killed by your so-called civilian goods."

"I hope Mr. Lin would reconsider whether he wants to be friends with the United States or stand against it."

After hearing this, Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Mr. Richard, can I regard this as a threat?"

"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. I am not threatening you. I am advising you."

Richard said word by word: "Some businesses can be done, and some businesses are better to be suspended for a while."

"Hehehe..."

Lin Kaifeng smiled coldly and said bluntly: "In other words, in the future, when the Northern Machinery Group does business with other companies or countries, it needs to ask the United States for its opinion first. Once these businesses are not to your liking, our group cannot even touch them. Is that what you mean?"

"Mr. Lin's words are trying to divert the conflict or to change the concept. We are not stopping you from doing business, but any business cannot pose a war threat to the United States."

Richard said arrogantly, "Mr. Lin, I can tell you clearly that any goods that flow into the country of Lak during the war, whether military or civilian goods, will pose a threat to our country."

"Your group can do business if you want, but you can never do it with Abdul."

"As long as you stop exporting drones to Latvia and do not sell any goods to the United States' hostile countries during the war, you will gain more friendship from us in the future."

"I'm sorry, but the price of your country's friendship is too high. I can't comply."

"you!"

Seeing that Lin Kaifeng clearly rejected his threat, Richard couldn't help but get furious.

Seeing that Richard was about to explode, Lin Kaifeng changed the subject and said, "Mr. Richard, what I said is just normal business considerations. I am not targeting you intentionally, nor do I have any intention of favoring Lak."

"Tomorrow, I will hold a press conference to ask the Rak State to stop using civilian goods for military warfare and express our group's regret for the involvement of drones in the war."

“Of course, if Abdul doesn’t listen, there is nothing our group can do.

After confirming that Lin Kaifeng was determined not to stop this business, Richard left the group office angrily after leaving a few warnings.

It seems that normal verbal threats are unlikely to make Northern Machinery Group change its mind.

The United States needs to impose more severe sanctions before Lin Kaifeng compromises.

Prevent civilian drones from continuing to flow into the country.

Shortly after Richard left, another person entered the office.

Zhou Weidong said, "General Manager, the global stock market situation in recent days is very strange. The stock markets of the United States, the island countries, and the European countries have experienced unusual fluctuations, especially the Dow Jones Industrial Index in the United States, which has been falling every day. Is the stock market crash you mentioned gradually taking shape?"

"It's finally here that's supposed to come."

Lin Kaifeng said slowly, "You should immediately take a flight back to Hong Kong City to take charge. The Dow Jones Industrial Index continues to fall, which is indeed a precursor to the stock market crash."

"The operatives deployed in other countries will act in unison under my command. When the stock market crash begins, the United States will have no time to trouble me anymore."

Zhou Weidong left the office without saying much and flew back to Hong Kong City to take charge.

Lin Kaifeng dared to confront Richard head-on and did not give the United States any face. It was not because he wanted to confront the United States, but because he expected that an economic crisis was taking shape and the United States had no time to clean up itself.

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average goes from a gradual decline to a sharp plunge, a stock market crash that affects the capital world will cause developed countries to be in dire straits.

The United States, in particular, has suffered the most serious setbacks.

A large number of military forces are concentrated in the country of Lak, and the daily military expenditure is astronomical.

A devastating stock market crash broke out in the backyard, and the United States is probably not going to have much money left.

Issuing treasury bonds has become the only way for the United States to break the impasse.

European countries will not be scapegoated, and desert countries are even less likely to pay for the US economic crisis.

Not to mention confronting the United States, even if Lin Kaifeng beat Richard up on the spot, the United States would not even bother to take revenge.

The week-long decline in the industrial index did not bring enough warning to US capital.

Stock market fluctuations are a common occurrence in the capital world.

Even though the index fell somewhat strangely this time, there are still many capital giants who believe it is normal.

The U.S. stock market is a barometer of the global economy.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell only slowly, not enough to cause global panic.

As time moved from mid-October to the end of October, the collapse began...

Rice stock prices plummeted.

The rate of decline within one day exceeded the total of all previous declines.

The electronic screens of exchanges around the world seemed to have been hacked, and the speed at which stock declines were displayed could no longer keep up with the actual changes.

The Walmart family, which recently became the richest man in the United States, saw its market value evaporate by nearly 3 billion US dollars in one day.
