Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1126 Toughness
Li Jiankun is well aware of his impulsive personality.

But Li Jiankun didn't lose his temper when the people from the United States asked to meet with him.

What's there to talk about?
If he was sincere and lifted the ban like other members of Batumi, he would definitely not have this attitude. Didn't he also sell to buyers in those regions?
Now that the ban has not been lifted, they think they have the bargaining chips and are here to cause trouble.

Li Jiankun now realizes that having a group of female soldiers under his command has many advantages, such as keeping everything in an orderly and meticulous manner, which allows him to live a more comfortable life as a hands-off boss, but there are also disadvantages.

Women are the epitome of formal logic and an obstacle to dialectical logic.

However, he absolutely did not want to harm these women.

I would rather be destroyed by them...

Faced with A Fei's kind words of advice, "I'm only thinking of you," Li Jiankun was helpless.

Huaqiang Taikoo Building.

In a reception room on the second floor, the door was pushed open, and the fresh aroma of fish wafted in. Li Jiankun walked in, holding a bowl of fish balls that he had bought on the way here, and ate while doing so.

The people in the beautiful country were all dumbfounded.

In fact, the black woman from the Ministry of Commerce, who was of a much higher status than Sean, the leader of the Semiconductor Association, stood up from the single-seat sofa and said with a smile:
"Mr. Li is really busy."

Li Jiankun was too lazy to explain anything. How could he eat at Huang's house when Miss Huang was on a hunger strike?
He found an empty single-seat sofa, leaned back, and crossed his legs. Seeing that he was wearing a pair of canvas shoes, everyone was even more speechless and quite angry.

So disrespectful!

Could Li Jiankun have taken a shower and changed his clothes just to see them? He was dressed like this when he was at Huang's house.

While dealing with the fish balls, he glanced at the whole audience and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me."

"Humph!"

Sean snorted coldly, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the black woman Nancy, who raised her hand. He then looked at Li Jiankun and said:
"Mr. Li, you have to understand that the United States is the world's largest market, and half of the DRAM chip market is in the United States."

"You don't need to explain this to me. Then what?"

"We can lift the restrictions on Dragon I."

Li Jiankun showed no joy on his face. He poked a fish ball with a bamboo stick and stuffed it into his mouth: "I'm waiting for your next words."

"However, Huadian must accept a fine."

After Nancy finished speaking, a white young man who looked like a secretary took out a document from a black briefcase. After getting Nancy's approval, he stood up and prepared to hand it to Li Jiankun.

Fugui took two steps forward to stop him and wanted to take the documents, but was stopped by Li Jiankun.

He looked at the white youth and said, "Go back."

White youth: “?”

Li Jiankun glanced at Nancy and asked, "Where did this ticket come from?"

"Because there were safety risks in the early Longteng I, of course, now after testing, there are no problems and it complies with the entry rules of our country's market." Nancy smiled.

"Oh. Then we have nothing to talk about. Please go in." Li Jiankun retracted his gaze and continued to deal with Yudan.

Nancy's smile froze, and she said sternly, "You might as well take a look at the ticket. The amount of the fine is not high. If Longteng I enters the North American market, this amount will not even be enough to make a small profit."

Li Jiankun said word by word without even looking up: "I won't give you a cent."

"you!"

"You're a whore and you still want to be a virtuous woman." Li Jiankun laughed sarcastically.

Nancy's face was mostly dark, but it was impossible to tell because of her natural advantages.

"Ms. Nancy, aren't you doing a good job of information work? Before you came here, didn't you know that the production of Longteng I was a bit tight?

“Yes, you do have the largest market in the world.

"But I don't have that much."

Nancy could no longer pretend to smile, and her tone rose a few notches: "You are not sincere. People like you will not be willing to stop here in business. If Huadian Group wants to become a giant in the industry, it cannot do without the American market!"

This is true, at least for the next ten years.

The problem is that even if he wants to enter the US market, Li Jiankun will not admit to the false charges.

Although this approach is very effective, many people and many companies choose to compromise.

But he doesn't spoil it.

"It would have been nice to open the window and speak frankly earlier."

Li Jiankun passed the finished fish ball lunch box to the side, and Fugui took it with a look of disdain: "Come, let me tell you something."

He raised his right hand, counting on his fingers, and said:

"First of all, if the Dragon I is sold at this price, it will be a loss. It's a good bargain. You can take it or not.

“Secondly, our production is running out, sales are booming, and it’s you who are causing the internal chaos.

"In conclusion, you want to take advantage of us by purchasing our chips, but you also want to punish us. Aren't you taking all the benefits?

This committee member, clearly having intense internal conflicts and no other solutions, simply refuses to bow his head and admit that he is wrong.

Li Jiankun raised his voice and said:

“My answer is: No way!”

Nancy said angrily: "Then you will lose the American market forever!"

"You're nothing." Li Jiankun glanced over.

"What did you say?!" Nancy was shocked.

The others looked more shocked than her.

"literal meaning."

Li Jiankun twisted his body and changed to a more comfortable position: "Everyone knows that you have a new team every four years. Do you think Reagan dares to say forever?"

Swish!
Nancy stood up angrily and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant!"

Li Jiankun said calmly: "There is a lot you don't know."

"At least I'm still here now!"

This threat was direct enough. Li Jiankun smiled slightly and said, "What can you do to me?"

"We'll see!"

Li Jiankun nodded with a smile: "I'll wait."

"Humph!"

Nancy led a group of people and left in anger.

In the reception room, Fugui took off his sunglasses and gave Li Jiankun a thumbs up.

"Am I suddenly able to do it again?" Li Jiankun said unhappily.

Fugui grinned: "I respect you as a man."

Even though we say that the United States is a paper tiger, as a person who has spent more than 90% of his life in the mountains, he knows that it is not so easy to provoke.

What's more, this dark-skinned woman is a high-ranking official.

Da da da……

Effie came in hurriedly from the door, shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands, and looked at Li Jiankun with a black question mark on her face.

"The negotiation broke down, and she said she wanted to get me."

"I should have known not to call you." Effie looked resentful.

It's better not to talk about it, the more you talk, the worse it gets.

Li Jiankun stood up from the single-seat sofa, rubbed her little head and said, "You underestimate your brother, don't you? She is nothing."

"Oh my, don't mess up my hair." Effie reached out and patted his dog paw. She had a high-level meeting of the group later.

"Oh, my Ah Fei also knows how to love beauty."

After Effie stamped her foot hard, she walked out of the room and said, "I'm not going to pay attention to you. She should be one of the top five people in the department. How dare you not take her seriously? I wonder how your business in the United States will be in the future."

How to do?
Let’s get some sleep first.

Li Jiankun stretched and missed the big Simmons bed in the office room.

……

……

Nancy almost vomited blood.

She has been to more than 100 countries around the world and met countless political and business celebrities, but no one has ever dared to call her a piece of shit.

Furthermore, she came with a mission this time, but the other party refused to cooperate.

She will make this arrogant boy pay the price!

After leaving Huaqiang Taikoo Building, the group went straight to the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau on Huayuan Road.

Consul General Anderson received Nancy in a reception room.

"This kid actually wants to challenge the authority of our entire federation by himself!"

After listening to Nancy's angry account of the situation, Anderson hurriedly said, "Be careful with your words, Ms. Nancy. This matter seems to have been caused by the Semiconductor Association. Now that it has become a big deal, your Ministry of Commerce has to step in to calm it down so that the entire federation will not be implicated."

"You didn't see his arrogant attitude, that's what he meant!"

Anderson sighed and said, "I have to admit that he does have some capital."

Nancy stared at him in surprise: "Which side are you on?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Anderson pointed out the window, drew a circle above his head, and said, "Do you know who has the final say in this territory now?"

Nancy was surprised: "It's his turn?"

"But he is more effective than anyone else in talking. There are some things you may not understand. The Eagles are scared of him. Someone at Buckingham Palace was defeated by him. And he has a special relationship with the mainland.

"He also has an organization called Kunlun Society. All the wealthy businessmen you can name in Hong Kong are members of this organization, including the wealthy people in Southeast Asia.

"It's no exaggeration to say that he is the local tyrant here."

Nancy fumed, "This is not America!"

"But, you know, in the Federation, whoever has the money has the final say. I heard that the scale of his assets in the United States is even more exaggerated than that in Hong Kong City. Do you know his network of resources?"

Nancy frowned and said, "I came here with a mission. If he really has connections in the upper echelons of the Federation, would he go to such lengths?"

Anderson groaned and said, "I can't say for sure. Things up there are always very complicated. Sometimes the fighting during the day doesn't affect their drinking and chatting at night."

"No matter what, I will try my best to complete the task." Nancy said.

Anderson asked, "So what do you want to do? Force him to submit?"

"Why not?" "How do you force me?"

Nancy was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Originally, Jack Lee had many assets in the United States, but this sinister guy had disposed of these assets long before he completely fell out with them.

To calculate on these assets now would be to shoot oneself in the foot.

Nancy suddenly realized with sadness that she had no way to deal with this person.

No...it seems there is another trick.

A beautiful oriental face came to Nancy's mind.

She had every reason to launch an investigation into the large-scale asset transfer of Jinding International Investment Group some time ago and ordered this oriental beauty to assist and cooperate.

She was obviously close to Jack Lee.

As for when the investigation will be completed.

Hey.

It's not her decision.

It all depends on when Jack Lee will give in.

With this thought in mind, Nancy's frown gradually relaxed. She glanced at Anderson and realized that this old man couldn't help her, so she said goodbye and left.

……

……

Li Jiankun, who hadn't had a good rest for two days, still couldn't get a good sleep.

I was woken up by Effie and Ran Zi.

"Well."

Li Jiankun opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ayan was taken away by the U.S. Commercial Investigation Department." Effie complained.

"Oh."

Effie: “?”

Ran Zi: “?”

Just, oh?
Li Jiankun patted his forehead and sat up from the bed: "I thought that Nancy had some tricks. Actually, I thought of it before going to bed."

Effie opened her eyes wide: "You thought of it, why don't you remind me?"

Ran Zi echoed, "So that Boss Liu can leave as soon as possible."

"So what? You wouldn't believe how powerful Ayan is in the United States."

Li Jiankun shook his head and said, "Besides, there is no point in avoiding some things. You can avoid them this time, but not the next time.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to make some people understand."

A cold light flashed across Li Jiankun's eyes:
"What price will you pay for picking on me?"

After getting up from the bed, Li Jiankun ordered: "Azi, spread the news that the American delegation is coming, and then organize a press conference."

After saying that, he paced towards the door.

Effie chased after him and asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Li Jiankun wanted to say "No", but changed his mind and said, "See if we can contact Ayan and comfort her. But I don't think she needs it."

Effie said unhappily, "You are so considerate."

"If you don't believe me, try it."

Arriving at the office outside, Li Jiankun walked to the mahogany desk and sat down.

A phone call came to New York.

The vice president of Jinding International Investment Group is none other than Old Sun, who used to work at the Japanese branch of Gangcheng Trust Bank.

An old acquaintance.

Old Sun, who knew Liu Jingyan's power in the United States, was not panicked at all. He even said with a smile: "Boss Liu is going to have a cup of coffee and will be back soon."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." Li Jiankun said.

"what?"

Old Sun was surprised: "Not really, it's just a small business investigation department. Mr. Liu knows a lot of people in Washington."

"She didn't want to come back."

"Ah...this?"

Li Jiankun didn't explain much, just smiled and said: "She is the roundworm in my stomach."

Then he changed the subject and ordered:
"You have to do something."

"You say."

“Short Nasdaq tech stocks…”

……

……

The next morning.

The first floor of Huaqiang Taikoo Building is still the venue for the last press conference.

Li Jiankun came to the podium amidst countless flashes of light.

He also didn't plan to do a talk show and let reporters ask questions directly.

The question they want to ask most is what Li Jiankun wants to represent.

A reporter: "Did the US delegation come to Hong Kong to discuss the issue of the Longteng I ban? I wonder how the two sides discussed it?"

Li Jiankun: "We failed to reach an agreement. The US issued a fine to Huadian Group, requiring Huadian Group to accept the penalty before considering lifting the restrictions on Longteng I.

“The problem is, there is always a pretext for accusing someone of something.

“Huadian Group and I will never admit to anything we have not done.

"This is not about money, but a defamation of our morality. I always believe that integrity is the foundation of a company or a person. Under no circumstances will we joke about our reputation."

A reporter: "Anyway, this was an opportunity, but you gave it up and lost the world's largest market again. Do you regret it?"

Li Jiankun: “It’s a pity, I feel sorry for those American chip manufacturers.

“As everyone knows, Longteng I is now being sold at a loss. For chip buyers, this will save a lot of money, but unfortunately they don’t get any.

“Of course, I have also heard that due to the increasing labor costs every year and the inability to purchase the inexpensive and high-quality Longteng I this time, many American technology companies are already planning to move their manufacturing plants to other regions.

"Affected by this, American chip manufacturers also panicked. Think about the situation at that time. There are competitors like Longteng I overseas, and there is no demand in China. There is a high probability that... they can only wait for death.

“In short, the U.S. semiconductor industry is a mess.

“As for Huadian Group, if you are interested, I can arrange for someone to take you to visit the chip storage base after the meeting.

"If the American market opens its doors to us all of a sudden, I'll be scared. When the gods come with money to buy goods and the supply is insufficient, they will criticize us and we'll have to stand at attention.

"The current market is an almost perfect match for Huadian's production capacity. As for the US market, well, even if they have issues with us, we won't put our best foot forward.

“No need for them to ban it, today, I am here to officially announce:

"Huadian will abandon the US market indefinitely, regardless of whether they ban it or not."

Hey!
The whole hall was in an uproar.

What does it mean to be tough?

You can ban it, keep banning it.

I won’t sell it anymore, even if you lift the ban.

……

……

After the information of this press conference spread.

The world's semiconductor industry was collectively shocked.

As for the U.S. semiconductor industry, they were collectively dumbfounded.

The next day, when the U.S. stock market opened, the trend of technology stocks continued to decline, in line with the predictions of professionals.

However, the fact is that even professionals are worried about how low it will go today.

Because there is an additional disadvantage.

The market opened in less than a minute.

The main technology stocks, mainly Intel, Texas Instruments and IBM, suddenly fell sharply.

"This, this, this..."

Professionals and investors in several major U.S. stock markets were suddenly frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

The decline is too fast!
Far exceeded everyone's expectations.

“Toss, toss, toss!”

“Oh my god, the impact is so great?”

"Damn it, hurry up! Sell all the tech stocks!"

...

The stock market fell so fast that many people didn't even have time to think about it and were all shocked.

All of a sudden, countless sell orders for technology stocks were thrown into the market.

To make matters worse.

The candlestick chart shows a cliff-like dive.

The shadow of the 1987 stock market crash has not yet dissipated, and people seem to see it coming back.

There were wails of grief in several major U.S. stock exchanges.

"Who the hell wants to ban Dragon Rising I?!"

"Incompetent bungler!"

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, go eat shit!"
