Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

The most troublesome one is Erdezi. Their original intention was just to annoy Malaysia because their products weren't selling well, and to take the opportunity to put pressure on Dongda Group.

Let them restrain themselves in all aspects, so that their country's products can return to the top of the world and accelerate the domestic recovery.

They still envied the speed of the Japanese reconstruction, but the loan-based reconstruction put them under tremendous pressure.

To everyone's surprise, the Malays showed them no respect whatsoever. They had just threatened to sanction them when they were retaliated against, which only made matters worse.

Dongdae Group's leading position in the manufacturing industry is well-known among its upper management.

Price wars? Don't be ridiculous. In the East, apart from automobiles, almost all other sectors have been wiped out, and even the automobile manufacturing industry doesn't have a high market share.

After driving the automobile manufacturing industry out of the East, what will they have left? Few companies in the East still use their so-called precision instruments.

They are inferior to Dongda Group's products in every aspect!

Everyone in the Second Generation Council was completely dumbfounded when they saw the footage transmitted back. How could they possibly play their game after something like this happened?

There is no economy in the country now, and the people in the north are preparing to revolt. Without strong economic support, what makes them think they can be leaders?

Are they capable militarily?

Although the northerners have been disarmed, they can rebuild, and then... the trouble will be too great.

We just wanted to have some fun, why did you take it so seriously? We just exchanged a few insults and that was it. Isn't this conference just like a marketplace?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news is that seven large conglomerates under the Malaysian umbrella, with the East Asia Group as the main entity, held press conferences at almost the same time."

At the same time, they will impose counter-sanctions on any Chinese goods, directly wage a price war, and claim to the outside world that their technology is better than ours and their prices are 10% to 30% lower.

The goal was to drive all our factories out, while Dongdae Group announced the expansion of its automobile manufacturing plant and precision instrument manufacturing plant.

They assured us that production at factories in need would not be disrupted even without our factory.

They're offering all their products at 10% to 50% lower prices than our comparable models, engaging in a price war regardless of cost. They're trying to crush us with one blow.

"How dare they? How dare they do this? They're trying to destroy our industry. We must fight them to the death!"

"What do we have to fight with? Do you have an army? Do you have technology better than Dongda Group? We don't even have money. What do we have to fight with?"

Now everyone knows why this happened. It's because we got involved in Third Sister-in-law's affairs. How can we explain that?

You can't hide it from anyone!

What I mean is—you should all step down!

This time you have no way to deal with it!

Why don't we find someone else to communicate with the Malaysians? We'll give up helping Third Sister-in-law, and let's go back to how things were before!

"We still have the Europa and Eagle markets, so we don't need to be too afraid of them engaging in price wars!"

"You can't hold onto this market and the Xiaoyingzi market. Dongda Group didn't engage in price wars before, and we have a 30% market share."

They can offer price reductions of up to 50%, how much market share can you still capture? We know their technology is superior to ours, but others might not.

Wake up! Before, people only bought our products because the price difference wasn't significant. Now, the price difference is around 30%. Don't expect businessmen not to be profit-driven.

"There are a few key issues. We currently have no economy, and it's impossible for us to provide loans to subsidize businesses. We also lack military strength, so it's impossible for us to wage war."

Most importantly, how many years will it take us to rebuild? How much will it cost? How will we overcome the technological gap?

After this incident, getting a loan will be a huge hassle for us. Don't forget, our currency is now useless; it can only circulate domestically.

"Let's wait and see what the little eagles' attitude is; after all, they still have a certain amount of influence."

"Wait for them, there's no need at all. Now is when their military strength is at its weakest: a new carrier battle group, five old carriers, and no more than 10,000 firearms in reserve!"

They're no match for Malaysia! They're completely outmatched!

They're 100% just playing dumb and trying to smooth things over!

If you don't believe me, we'll have news in an hour!

"What should we do? The nation is truly on the brink of a life-or-death crisis."

"Gentlemen, the latest news from Little Eagle's side is that he will not participate in the Third Sister's war, but will only provide some humanitarian aid such as food."

We will not participate in any military operations, nor will we station troops in Malaysia. We also hope that both sides will exercise restraint. That's basically it.

"They absolved themselves so quickly, their bullying and cowardly behavior was on full display, and they were really good at betraying their teammates."

"If we don't talk about them, what are we supposed to do? Back then, we were..."

"What is it? The Malay representative has already said what does the glory of our predecessors have to do with us? Let's get down to business: we have nothing!"

"We were a bit overconfident. We realized how ridiculously powerful they were last year, and we've already forgotten. It's no wonder we're being criticized!"

"You mean we should be patient when things aren't going well? That seems like a good idea, but how exactly should we handle it?"

"Rebuild the superstructure, negotiate with Malays, maintain the status quo, and use cultural relics to exchange for peace."

Is this okay?

"Opportunities are few and far between; it's better to give it a try than to be strangled."

"At this point, we have no other choice but to have a strong army."

"We need to have [reconstruction], but not now. Reconstruction is our top priority; we can't afford to fall too far behind."

"We'll resign. You can arrange for someone to take over. Maybe all the past glory is useless now; only the size of our fist matters."

"Thank you, we'll make the arrangements!"

All the bigwigs in Erdezi are having a meeting; they've really encountered a huge problem.

Dongda Group also held a press conference in Hong Kong to officially announce that it would respond to Malaysia's economic sanctions against Erduz by launching a price war across all its subsidiaries.

In this way, the seven major Malay companies account for 95% of the Malay economy, which is equivalent to the entire Malay community directly declaring war on them!

It's hard to say who will impose sanctions on whom!

"Sir He, is your company really going to retaliate against them and start a price war regardless of cost?"

"Of course it's true. Half of my business is in Malaysia, and I will definitely abide by their decision."

Moreover, we strongly dislike sanctioning others at the drop of a hat. It's normal to negotiate prices in business. If others dare to do it, the government can provide subsidies. What's there to be afraid of?

Is it because your labor costs are too high? Their factories can be moved to places with lower labor costs.

Low prices benefit local ordinary people, so why are they unwilling to accept them? There are more complex issues at play than that.

As for price wars, to be honest, we like them because we have the technology and the money. If we crush them, we'll gain a larger market share.

"Sir He, matters between nations should be none of the business's business. Isn't it said that XX has no borders?"

"What XX borderless? I don't want to pay any more attention to such stupid talk. If it's borderless, why are there so many embargoes and restrictions?"

People who say things like that either don't understand, or they don't want to understand!

This is a minor matter. What immigration? What borderless policy? Our Dongda Group doesn't care!

If the two countries go to war, and you still dare to pay taxes for the enemy country and conduct research and development in science and technology, even if you are a foreigner, we will not care; they are just our enemies.

If you encounter them, it's a matter of 'no mercy!'

Those who hold our citizenship but serve outsiders will be subject to only one standard by the Dongda Group: 'extermination of their entire ethnicity'.

Any enterprise without strong protection is nothing more than a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered!
