Chapter 896: I'll Ask the Majority Shareholder's Opinion First
With the way the United States operates, there's no way they would let Jianghe Company make so much money!
Although Wang Tao didn't understand Xu Yang's words, he agreed anyway!
"Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Tao suddenly had a premonition that something was about to happen!
Before he could figure out the meaning behind Xu Yang's words, the executives who heard that it was President Wang who called the major shareholder were all filled with curiosity!
"President Wang, can we meet the major shareholder?"
"Exactly, exactly, President Wang, you truly have talent and courage, courage, courage!"
"This battle, his counterattack against the Americans, was so inspiring!"
"..."
Upon hearing the requests from everyone, Wang Tao felt reassured and began to speak with a smile!
"Sure, but I don't know if those major shareholders will come, he's busy with state affairs!"
As soon as everyone heard President Wang say this, they immediately understood that shareholders of such caliber, who could make millions in minutes, couldn't possibly have that much free time!
But many people were very curious about who exactly the major shareholder was!
And this time, the sanctions imposed on Jianghe by the United States were a perfect counterattack!
At the meeting, the executives of Jianghe Company were excited and proud.
Their private company was actually able to compete with the United States, the colossal power on the Blue Star, and even win, which was simply unimaginable even in a dream!
Of course, this was all thanks to that mysterious major shareholder.
And as time went by, Mei Li also became aware of this.
Soon, the Americans began their investigation into the matter, and the truth of it shocked everyone!
Although Jianghe Company's sales in the United States had declined, the company's profits had at least doubled!
They couldn't stand it!
At the same time, online criticism towards Jianghe Company gradually shifted to the Americans!
"Are the US customs idiots? Our Jianghe drones are selling so well, and you bloody increase the taxes for what? In the end, we still have to pay the money!"
"Are you stupid or what? Now that Jianghe's drones are priced so high, why would you even buy them? You might as well buy our country's products directly."
"The drone technology of our country is terrible, it doesn't meet our requirements, didn't you see that the US military's drones all use Jianghe's."
Inside the American office building!
Herbert angrily pointed at one of the lists and cursed loudly.
"Is there an order to purchase from our big agricultural country?"
"Aren't we Americans clear about the 'Jianghe' drone sanctions?"
"..."
The logistics officer, scolded by Herbert in such a manner, suddenly felt incredibly wronged!
At the moment Herbert uttered those words, the other party finally spoke up.
"Herbert, we also bought some advanced warplanes from the United States before, but the results were really too poor!"
"Nonsense, our United States is the strongest country on Earth, whether it's technology, military, or the economy, no other country can surpass us; a mere drone, how could it possibly compare with us."
Every time Herbert mentioned the big agricultural country, he felt a surge of anger; previously, he had led a team to a competition and was beaten by the big agricultural country, and to make matters worse, "Shade" was destroyed.
And now, his own troops were even purchasing the "drones" from the big agricultural country, which was truly a disgrace!
"Effective immediately, all materials purchased by the military must not contain any merchandise from the big agricultural country!"
While sales of the American Jianghe drones were booming, the American agencies also started to take action!
The first move was an announcement from customs, raising the import tariffs on Jianghe drones by another 1000%, making it the highest tariff increase in history!
The import price for a drone is now $5,000, four times the domestic price of $1,200 in the US!
Counting the customs fees for Jianghe drones, it totals $5,500.
The US government wants to drive Jianghe out of the American market.
They also know that if Jianghe continues to raise prices, no one will agree. After all, raising prices three times in a row makes people feel like they are being played.
Once customers lose trust in a company's reputation, bankruptcy is not far away!
Wang Tao of Jianghe Drones received this information right away, and he immediately cursed the Americans!
"A 100% tax rate, they completely disregard the rules of international trade. The Americans are deliberately making it difficult for us, Jianghe. Shameless!"
"They want to drive us out of the US!"
"Hmph, damn Americans, they've raised our taxes, we've increased our prices, we'll fight them to the end!"
The executives were fuming when Liu Tie brought them some bad news!
"The rent for Jianghe Company's shopping mall spaces and store fronts in the US has also doubled. Without a doubt, all of this is the work of the US government.
Their expenses have increased by thirty percent!
Additionally, for those drones purchased from Americans, the US will give a 10% compensation!"
Hearing Liu Tie's words, several Jianghe executives were furious!
"Damned Americans, nothing but a bunch of robbers!"
"The Americans are too shameless, resorting to underhanded tactics when they can't win fair and square!"
"..."
The executives were lashing out at Mei Li, grimacing, then they turned their eyes to Wang Tao, for he was their spiritual guide!
"General Manager Wang, what should we do now?" a short-tempered executive asked.
"Please wait, I will consult the major shareholder!"
Wang Tao said, recalling that Xu Yang had specifically instructed him to notify him immediately if there was any movement from the Americans!
When they heard that General Manager Wang was going to contact the major shareholder, they all expressed their positions; the major shareholder's decisions were always effective. They believed the major shareholder would definitely come up with the best solution.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Wang Tao dialed Xu Yang's number!
Seeing the anticipation on everyone's faces, Wang Tao decided to put the call on speaker.
The dial tone came from the phone.
Everyone was excited; they couldn't see the major shareholder, but to hear him was also quite rewarding!
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off!"
However, there was no answer on the phone, and Wang Tao knew that Xu Yang, as a top scientist in the country, must be very busy!
Yet, remembering Xu Yang's instructions, I still called her number!
But there was still no answer!
Wang Tao said, "Perhaps the major shareholder is busy!"
Before he had finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang. It was Xu Yang calling, and he immediately answered.
"Sorry, Xiao Wang, I was in an experiment!"
"It's okay!"
"What's wrong?"
"Trouble from the Americans."
Then, Wang Tao reported the situation in the US to Xu Yang!
Xu Yang didn't immediately respond, seemingly considering something.
Shortly after, Wang Tao and the others heard Xu Yang's voice coming from the phone!
