Chapter 405: Global smuggling wave, whose country’s door is open?
“Vwu Vwu——”

Before the smuggling group got far on the Mexico-Mexico border, they were surrounded by shrill sirens and border police spoke to them through the vehicle's loudspeakers.

"We are the US Federal Border Management Bureau police. We suspect you are smuggling. Stop the car immediately and let us check!"

"Turn off the engine immediately!"

While he was shouting, the roar of an armed helicopter was heard in the air.

If it were any other time, these smugglers would have stepped on the gas pedal to the metal, and there would even be a fight, because there were three large bags, the kind used for travel, and if they were caught they would be sentenced to life imprisonment.

But this time, they did not resist.

Turn off the engine and get out of the car.

Put your head in your hands.

The action was done almost in one go.

As four police cars surrounded the area and an armed helicopter hovered in the sky, the professionalism of the American police was demonstrated.

Some people loaded their guns and aimed at the head, some were on guard to prevent accomplices, and some stepped forward with guns, ready to shoot at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that nowadays, if smugglers fart loudly, they will probably be shot. The border police are so nervous that they may shoot at any sign of trouble.

But this is understandable, because there is no gun ban in the United States. In a country where everyone can own a gun, who dares to gamble with their own life?
You have to know that when 5.56 and 7.62 bullets are fired, it is equally deadly even if the gunman is a child.

Perhaps after watching movies and TV shows, many people subconsciously think that getting shot is okay as long as no vital organs are injured.

In fact, this is not the case. In addition to important organs, puncturing arteries can also be fatal. For example, the aorta in the leg, once damaged, the situation is almost like a fountain. If there is no professional first aid to stop the bleeding, the person who was shot will go into shock and faint due to excessive blood loss in about 44 seconds, and will die from excessive bleeding in about three minutes.

It is precisely because of their practical experience that the U.S. border police are treating the situation as if they are facing a formidable enemy.

"Hold your head, you damned beast, you filthy thing!"

"You are God's shit!"

"And you bitch, hold your head!"

The armed policeman cursed as he stepped forward, and only after he handcuffed the smuggling gang did the people finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Crisis averted."

Someone immediately passed the message on the intercom.

In the intercom control room, the boss in charge immediately gave instructions: "Good job, check the flour quantity, don't forget any details, this is related to our bonus and promotion opportunities, understand?"

"clear."

"Zizi-"

By the time the two men finished their conversation, the boss in the command room was already fantasizing about getting a promotion.

In the past, he could turn a blind eye. These flour criminals only traded fist-sized quantities at most. If they were caught, they would only be locked up for a few months, and some could even be released on bail.

But this time!
Three bags!

Three full bags!
He has been working as a border policeman for so long, but he has never seen anyone so arrogant. This guy weighs at least a hundred kilograms, maybe even up to five hundred kilograms.

Five hundred kilograms of flour, 25 grams, based on the street price of 80 US dollars per gram, 2000 million US dollars are right in front of you.

Because of the large number, the command center even dispatched armed helicopters.

But the boss always felt that something was wrong, as if the arrest was too easy...

Just when he was at a loss for words, a cursing voice came from the intercom.

"Fuck! It's not flour. These bastards are smuggling mobile phones. Fuck!"

obviously.

Even the American police who were on the mission didn't expect this.

I thought I would get a promotion and a raise by solving a big case, but I didn't expect it would be a cell phone.

"cell phone?"

The boss was also stunned.

Are they smuggling cell phones across the border?

Are you kidding me?

Now both sides are confused.

The smuggling team was trembling with fear when they saw an armed helicopter for the first time, and the US-Mexico Border Management Authority was seeing smuggled mobile phones for the first time. Both groups of people were in dire straits and were enlightened.

……

It is no coincidence.

Two days later.

There is another wave of people smuggling across the border.

Because the camera was far away, the Mi-Mexico border command center only saw a few large packages of things being loaded into the trunk and then speeding away.

Once again, all personnel were mobilized.

Another helicopter attack support.

“It should be flour this time, right?”

The boss muttered to himself.

According to the clues they had, the person coming to the border to trade this time was Felix, a habitual flour smuggler who had been released from prison less than fifteen days ago.

ten minutes later.

The disappointed voice came from the intercom again.

"It's a cell phone again."

"Bam—"

The boss slammed the table hard.

Two promotion opportunities vanished. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "What happened? Let the habitual offenders reform!"

"report!"

Suddenly, the police officer in charge of monitoring widened his eyes, zoomed in on the video and said, "At 021 o'clock, a trading gang appeared."

The boss glanced sideways and saw two groups of people making a secret deal.

Because it was night, I couldn't see clearly what they were trading. I could only see the general outline.

"Isn't it time this time?"

The boss once again directed the operation.

But twenty minutes later, the intercom again transmitted the slightly low voice of the police officer on duty: "It's still the cell phone."

The moment he finished speaking, the head of the border management bureau finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Cellphones, cellphones, are these repeat offenders crazy? They're smuggling cellphones across the border!"

"Bring him back, I want to interrogate him!"

He doesn't believe it anymore.

These people will be content with mediocrity.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. These smugglers have earned hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a day. Are they really willing to earn just a few hundred or a few thousand dollars?

After making quick money, it becomes difficult to make slow money. This is what is called gambling addiction. After earning several years' salary in one go, how can you have the mind to work properly?

As the smuggling gang was brought back, the boss summoned Felix alone, and the two sat in the interrogation room, facing each other.

"Still remember me?"

The boss asked.

"of course."

Felix nodded and grinned, "Chief Brad, thanks to you, I stayed in there for fifteen years."

As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "But Chief Brad, we probably didn't do anything serious this time. We can't keep him in prison for another fifteen years."

"Why do you come to the border to smuggle mobile phones?" Brad did not answer his question, but asked his own question.

silence.

Felix did not answer.

"You have ten seconds. If you don't answer my question, you will regret it." Brad's tone turned completely cold.

Three opportunities for promotion, and three times his hopes were dashed, which made him very annoyed.

If Felix didn't tell him, he wouldn't mind helping him recall it himself.

"You want to know?"

Felix smiled.

"You have seven seconds." Brad has stood up, his strong arms clenched so tightly that veins can be seen bulging.

"Stop, stop, stop." Felix immediately gave in. He didn't want to witness the other party's thundering methods again, so he told everything.

After a while.

Brad was silent.

Nearly 200% net profit from smuggling a mobile phone?

What does "Das Kapital" say?

"If there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; if there is a 50% profit, capital will be willing to take risks; if there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk being hanged; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws." This sentence also applies to smugglers.

It is precisely because the profits are as high as 500% or even 1000% that flour smugglers are willing to gamble their lives.

If it's only 10%, who would risk their life?
If you earn 3,000 yuan a month, would you risk your life for your boss?
Brad couldn't believe what Felix said. Perhaps he didn't believe that such a small mobile phone could be sold for 5000 US dollars or even 6000 US dollars.

He changed several groups of people, but the results were the same.

Smuggling electronic products, it's so damn hard to convict them. Brad sat in the office and thought about it all night. In the morning when no one was around, he chose to talk to Brad in detail.

……

A week passed.

The trend problem of Brilliant X2 is becoming more and more serious.

A new profession has emerged in Europe, that is, "Brilliant X2 recycler". They obtain the user information of Brilliant X2 through some channels, and then offer high prices to recycle the mobile phones through various means such as phone calls and text messages.

According to the exchange rate conversion, the price of the Brilliant X2 Collector's Edition in Europe is 13999 Dragon Country Currency, which is 1999 Euros. The price of recycling a Brilliant X2 is 2500 Euros, and an unopened one can even be given 3000 Euros.

Not only in Europe, but also in Africa, Oceania, America and other countries and regions where the product is sold, there has been a rush to buy the Brilliant X2.

If you can grab a mobile phone, it is no less than winning the lottery.

As the person in charge of the international market, Li Zhenzhen keenly realized that the world was beginning to go crazy, or that her own brand had been recognized by the wealthy circles in Europe and the United States.

As soon as the incident happened, she informed Chen Xing via email.

After Chen Xing understood the whole story, he not only did not increase the difficulty of cracking mobile phone information communications, but also increased the product production capacity and supply in Europe and the United States.

The United States closes its borders?
It has no effect at all.

Taking into account the Internet needs of the American people, Chen Xing also urgently called Zhao Chenguang and asked him to think of a way to find a legitimate reason to provide 5G network signal coverage to the United States.

"By covering the U.S. with 5G high-speed network, aren't we afraid of being overtaken in the field of artificial intelligence?" Zhao Chenguang was puzzled.

The reason why the US representative was rejected and the 5G high-speed network was not built for the US was because Chen Xing said that Nvidia had in-depth research on artificial intelligence and it could not be built easily.

But what Zhao Chenguang didn't know was that Chen Xing had already poached people secretly. The moment Huang Renxun handed over the graphics card data, he and Chen Xing were tied to the same boat, and there was no turning back.

If Huang Renxun wavers, Chen Xing only needs to make the matter public, and the former will probably disappear completely.

The strongest opponents of artificial intelligence have confirmed their return, and even if the 5G high-speed network is handed over to the United States, they will be helpless.

And most importantly, without Longxing Group's KT-001 baseband chip module, mobile phones produced by US companies cannot use 5G high-speed networks. The same is true for equipment. However, once used, the network operation is controlled by Longxing Group, and clues can be discovered at any time.

"We have achieved significant results in artificial intelligence. Even if we open it to the United States for use, it will not pose a threat to us." Chen Xing did not mention the matter of Nvidia, but instead talked about something that could be checked.

"Kyushu Ai?"

Zhao Chenguang asked tentatively.

"Well, trust my judgment. This wave of smuggling can completely shake up the U.S. market. It will be beneficial to us without any harm."

Chen Xing responded.

"understood."

Zhao Chenguang's background is not that of a fussy person.

After figuring out the whole story and receiving Chen Xing's personal guarantee, the Dragon National Space Administration issued an announcement just the next day, which roughly meant that the Beidou communication satellites in Mexico and Canada were faulty and needed to be replaced urgently, but because they had been under construction for less than a year, out of humanitarian "warranty", this replacement was free of charge.

On the third day after the announcement, the Brilliant X2 mobile phones in the United States no longer had 4G signals, but had switched to 5G signal status.

For a while.

The price of mobile phones has doubled again.

If the profit before was only 200%-300%, it is no exaggeration to say that smuggling a Brilliant X2 mobile phone can get a profit of 500%.

Not only the Brilliant X2, but also Longxing Group's Longxing series, Geek series, and Tianyu series have begun to enter the United States one after another.

As the world's largest consumer country, the United States' purchasing power is no joke. Just look at the regional business shares of the Fortune 500 companies and you will know that its consumption capacity can be described as "far ahead."

Discount global shopping platform is also experiencing a shortage of supply for Longxing Group's products.

By recycling a Longxing X3, users can earn $200.

By recycling a Geek X2, users can earn $400.

By recycling a Tianyu X1, users can earn $600.

If a Brilliant X2 is recycled, the seller can earn between US$1000 and US$3000, depending on whether it is the standard version, the honor version, or the collector's version. This is for users without channels. Those smugglers with channels can earn several times more than normal users.

Originally, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi thought that Longxing Group’s four flagship models would return to normal purchasing power within half a month.

But they never expected that the emergence of a smuggling wave would cause a surge in sales of the four flagship models, and they had to urgently close pre-sales and reduce inventory to "none".

The discount global shopping platform was out of stock, so some people started going to offline experience stores, and some even wanted to buy the display machines.

Such a large-scale smuggling wave naturally attracted the attention of senior US officials.

Washington.

Inside Parliament Hill.

Renato Marotta looked at the contents of the submitted documents, and was first in disbelief, and then in silence.

Smuggled cell phones?

This is simply unheard of!

But when he learned that the smuggled mobile phones were from the Longxing Group, and that they were the recently popular worldwide Brilliant X2 folding-screen mobile phones, he fell silent.

We have clearly included Longxing Group in the DOD list and banned its products from entering the country, so how could it still trigger a smuggling wave?

What is the DOD List?

The DOD list is a death list set up by the United States for military-industrial enterprises. Any company on the list will be directly restricted by the United States and its allied countries.

To put it bluntly, once a company is on the DOD list, it will be difficult for it to survive in the global market.

The DOD list has always been called the corporate death list, and the companies that make the list are basically from the Dragon and Bear companies.

The fact that Longxing Group is able to enter the global market despite being on the DOD list is largely due to the 5G high-speed network.

Whether it is Japan, South Korea, or countries in Europe and the United States, they all want to build a nationwide 5G high-speed network.

If I have a need, who cares about your list?
If there is no 5G high-speed network, Longxing Group’s strategic layout will probably encounter the most severe entry restrictions in history.

"Damn it."

Renato Marotta clenched his fists.

He had arranged everything he could for the Longxing Group, but he still failed to prevent it from entering the US market.

The most outrageous thing is that, strictly speaking, it is not sold in the U.S. market. It is the U.S. people who spontaneously smuggle and buy it at several times the price.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

How can this be done?
Want to ban?
How do you ban it?
They are smuggled into the country in the first place, and in this "prohibited" environment, increasing your efforts will only result in raising the price.

Renato Marotta felt like it was about to burn down, and Chen Xing and Longxing Group were like ghosts that lingered in his thoughts.

However, what Renato Marotta didn't know was that compared to mobile phones, what was more serious was actually "software smuggling."

TikTok has already been built into the motherboard chips of the four new flagships, and Chen Xing has also greeted Zhang Ming and asked him to enrich the software ecosystem content as much as possible.

Mobile phones are hardware smuggling.

TikTok is software smuggling.

Amid this increasingly severe wave of smuggling, more and more American people have been exposed to short video software.

Little by little, YouTube creators have also moved to TikTok, moving their past videos to the new platform and compressing the content, playing the core in 15-second format.

This time.

Jewish capital panicked.

As Longxing Group grew rapidly, they were able to remain restrained, but when it came to the "software intrusion", they were really panicked.

In the United States, or even the whole world, they like to control the media.

The Bailey Group and the Vanguard Group control 95% of the world's media platforms and also control the thoughts of the vast majority of the world's people.

Like in Season 2, they used countless movies to weaken themselves and make people around the world feel sympathy for their experiences.

But what about the nature of the event?

It’s because they manipulate prices, causing countless people to starve to death on the streets.

Not to mention a loaf of bread worth 50 yuan, if anyone dares to raise the price of a bowl of rice to 200 yuan, the gun would probably start smoking.

It is precisely because of the whitewashing of movies that the world treated the Jewish people with compassion and tolerance for a long time.

Today, the emergence of TikTok, an uncontrolled global media platform, makes Jewish financial groups uneasy.

Wall Street, New York.

No. 666 Panopticon Building.

Pascal, with delicate features and dressed in a suit, came to the top-floor office again, and the three people waiting inside stood up.

"The mission given by the higher-ups is to acquire TikTok if possible, and to shut it down forever in the U.S."

His tone was calm, but beneath the calmness, there was a subtle hint of anger.

"We are also discussing this issue, but TikTok does not operate here, so this may be a bit difficult to deal with," said Lyle Wallace, head of the Belle Group.

"Can't do it?"

Pascal walked up to him.

Just like last time, he began to turn slowly, like turning a walnut.

"this!"

Lyle Wallace gritted his teeth.

Pascal showed no mercy. If it weren't for the British royal family, he would have taken action long ago.

“I can…I can do it.”

Lyle Wallace responded with a blushing face.

Robert Heavey, the head of Vanguard Group, and David, the future successor to the Federal Reserve, both swallowed their saliva unconsciously. They dared not disobey the decision of the "Six Wings".

And TikTok does pose a threat to them. Even if Pascal didn't say anything, they would try their best to ban it.

"I want results within three days."

Pascal let go of the walnuts and sat down on the sofa.

Lyle Wallace and the other two looked at each other, feeling frightened. Although they knew they might not be able to complete the task, they still responded anyway.

"Ok."

"No problem Mr. Pascal."

With the demise of Bailey Group and Leading Group, Zhang Ming, the founder of ByteDance, who was far away in China, first received a text message, then an email, and finally a cross-border call.

The text messages, emails, and phone calls all wanted to express one meaning: ask him to name a price and sell TikTok to them.

Can Zhang Ming agree?

To be honest, yes!
But the same cannot be said for Chen Xing behind Zhang Ming. His strategic layout is not just for such a small profit.

The most important thing about TikTok is not the profitability of its short videos, but its ability to break the control of the Jewish consortium over the world media.

With the TikTok platform, people around the world no longer need the review of the Belle Group and the Vanguard Group, and can directly express their opinions and see the information they want.

Its existence will directly break the information cocoon established by the Jewish consortium.

[No idea at the moment.]
Zhang Ming gave a concise reply.

In fact, he is also very clear that if he goes against the public opinion and sells TikTok at this time, he can achieve financial freedom instantly, but conversely, Chen Xing will immediately stop providing big data technology, and ByteDance and Douyin in China will be sniped, which is equivalent to self-destruction of his future.

Is it necessary for these petty profits?
Totally unnecessary!
Zhang Ming is a smart man. He also saw the potential of Longxing Group and knew that there would be hope only if they joined forces. After replying to the Jewish consortium, he immediately informed Chen Xing of the news.

After receiving the call, Chen Xing, who was far away in Shenzhen, was surprised and asked: "How many registered users does TikTok have worldwide?"

"2."

"2 billion?"

Chen Xing was stunned.

He thought TikTok was electronic opium, but he didn't expect it to spread so quickly, which far exceeded his expectations.

After a brief thought, Chen Xing responded: "Just operate normally. Now is just the beginning. I will go to the capital in two days and we will talk in detail."

"Okay, I'll pick you up then."

Zhang Ming nodded in response.

He would not doubt Chen Xing's strategic vision. A man who had increased the company's market value thousands of times in two years no longer needed to prove his strength to others, because the Longxing Group brand would speak for Chen Xing.

After seeing Zhang Ming's rejection email, Lyle Wallace had no choice but to choose a backup plan, which was to list TikTok and related sites as virus websites and notify local US network operators that phone numbers were not allowed to receive registration verification SMS messages for the software application.

however.

If you have a Longxing Group mobile phone, you can still access it directly.

Those who do not have a Longxing Group mobile phone can also access TikTok nodes in Mexico and Australia by circumventing the firewall.

After being completely banned by the Jewish consortium, TikTok's US users increased instead of decreased. Through word of mouth, it even aroused the curiosity of some people because of the ban. Overnight, the number of users increased by 300 million, and most of them were students and young people.

This made Lyle Wallace confused. Facing the "electronic opium" sweeping the world, he seemed to have no way to deal with it. Now he felt cold in his crotch, fearing that Pascal would come to steal his walnuts.
