Vol 2 Chapter 774: Patriot Act

Public opinion is boiling, and a large number of domestic companies have felt the opportunity, and have begun to speak out, asking the state to formulate relevant regulations to severely crack down on all kinds of behaviors that exaggerate foreign products and degrade domestic products. ◇ ↓ Three ◇ ↓ Jiang ◇ ↓ 阁 ◇ ↓ Fiction. The superior authorities of these enterprises quickly reported these opinions, added their own opinions, and expressed their full support for the proposals. At the beginning of Ji Ming, Wang Hongsheng, Yang Xinyu and some other old comrades also suggested to the central government that the revitalization of national industries should start with building confidence in national products.
Although some journalists, lawyers, and brick scholars are talking about opinions such as freedom of speech, they are helpless to face interest groups representing various economic sectors. In other matters, everyone may be able to discuss carefully, but this matter is related to the vital interests of various industries and departments, and no one will give up their own demands for some unreal theory.
Soon, news broke out, saying that the central government had proposed legislative suggestions to the Legal Work Commission, hoping to formulate a "Patriot Act" aimed at protecting national brands. A person familiar with the matter said that in this bill, anyone will not be allowed to compare China with "foreign" at will. Product evaluation reports can only be limited to specific brands, and cannot be labelled "China" or "foreign". Departments, enterprises, and institutions are strictly forbidden to use foreign brands when bidding for products. Under the conditions of equal technical level, price, and service, domestic institutions must give priority to domestic products; the bill will also provide that any company When promoting your technological advantages, you must not use terms such as "use of imported equipment", "use of imported raw materials" ...
In a word, it is necessary to eliminate the expression that imported products are necessarily better than domestic products on all occasions, and to let people restore confidence in domestic products.
In this atmosphere, Zhang Wenyue's psychological defense line finally collapsed. He realized that he had kicked an iron plate, and if he didn't get it, he might be in jail. In a hurry, he chose to protect himself and confessed the entire matter to the public security department. According to him, he originally made this video to promote the imported pipes he represented, but later re-produced the video. And the promotion was greatly encouraged by the German company Warren and received the high rebate given by Warren in return.
Dozens of online sailors who participated in the hype of this video on various platforms were also captured by Xiao Weihao's men. These average hoops were less than 22 years old. When I saw a big cap, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to hide anything. I was hoping that the government would be generous.
Qin Hai promised to withdraw the prosecutions against Zhang Wenyue and these online naval forces, but in exchange they must make these matters public to reporters. At this point. Zhang Wenyue and others have any choice but to obey.
Qin Hai invited a large group of reporters and asked them to interview Zhang Wenyue and others. For a while, the media became lively again. Behind the scenes of the video incident, the black hand was actually a globally famous foreign company. Once this material was exposed, it immediately caused countless discussions. Some overseas media have also participated in one after another, verbally criticizing Warren Company, arguing that it violates the principle of free competition and puts the "Democratic World" in shame.
"How did this happen!"
In the office of Warren's China Representative Office in Pujiang. Chief Representative Bernice held a newspaper fiercely on the table and asked his executive director Binderman sharply.
"I already said that angering the Chinese is not a wise choice." Binderman shrugged and said with a little gloat. It was Bernice's account of Binderman to find someone to hype the video. At that time, Binderman had some resistance, but he couldn't beat Bernice, so he found someone to operate. Now that there is a mess, of course, Binderman will not take any responsibility.
"Now public opinion is very bad for our company. The headquarters has sent me an email asking us to calm down public opinion in the shortest possible time. How did you think about it?" Bernice asked.
Binderman said: "We have a crisis public relations mechanism and we have always maintained a good relationship with the media. In the past, if we encountered such a thing, we could immediately ask the media to clarify and declare that we were not involved in this incident. But . This time I worry that the effect will not be too obvious. "
"Why?" Bernice asked.
Binderman said: "I have already inquired that this incident caused such a big storm because there is a Chinese company engaged in hype. Unless we spend more public relations costs than them, we cannot calm down what they make public opinion."
"Which company?" Bernice asked again.
"It's the Daqin Group," Bindman said.
"Daqin Group, no wonder ..." Bernice said to himself. Daqin Group is Warren's strongest competitor in the Chinese market, and Bernice certainly knows the name. It is also known that Daqin Group is stepping up the construction of two RX units. Once these two units are put into production, it will have a huge impact on Warren Group's RX business.
"They came for us. They wanted to our influence to a minimum before their RX unit was put into production, so as to seize the market we have already acquired." Bernice was indeed the chief representative, and he caught it all at once Lived the point.
Binderman didn't say anything. He spent much more time in China than Bernice, and knew the Daqin Group better. In the past few years, the Daqin Group has fought with Japan's Chunshan Club, Cusella Company, Vale, etc. Bindman has heard of it and knows that this is a company that is not easy to mess with. Bernice wanted to be the enemy of the Daqin Group. Bindman could only hold soy sauce and watch the lively mind and let him participate. He would not agree with life or death.
"Can we start with the Patriot Act, which is hotly debated online, and draw some Western media to criticize China?" Bernice thought about the idea.
Binderman said: "The Patriot Act is just a rumor, and there is no formal legislation at this time. Moreover, even if the Chinese really enacted such a law, it does not violate the principle, because they did not adopt foreign goods. The discriminatory policy only requires domestic companies not to discriminate against domestic products. This requirement is not an exaggeration, and we have similar regulations in Germany. "
"So, what about criticism from excessive official interference in Chinese economic activity?" Bernice added.
Binderman smiled coldly, "This is China's system. We are businessmen, not politicians. What are the benefits of China's system for us?"
"Did we just watch the Chinese take away the RX market from us?" Bernice asked.
"If we can lower some prices and provide better services, I think we can still maintain a part of the market." Binderman said.
"But this way, our profit cannot be guaranteed," Bernice said. "And no matter how we reduce the price, it is difficult to compare with the domestically produced RX. After all, they do not need to pay high shipping costs."
"This is something we can't change." Binderman said, "China's industry has developed, and countless western products have been squeezed out of the Chinese market these years. The most obvious example is that 20 years ago, The Chinese are proud to buy TVs made in Japan. Today, even Japanese TVs are selling Chinese TVs, let alone in our Western markets. It is only a matter of time before our RX exits the Chinese market. "
"No, I can't accept the result," Bernice said.
"So, what are you going to do?" Bindman asked.
"You can contact ..." Bernice said halfway and stopped again, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself, I'm afraid you can't get things done. "
"I'm very sorry."
Binderman said this with his mouth, but relaxed. In his opinion, it is enough to take a salary and do the things explained above. What is necessary to laboriously fight the Chinese. Bernice wanted to do it himself, so go ahead and do it for himself.
Send Binderman away, Bernice opened the drawer, found an address book, turned to one of the pages, then called the phone and dialed a number on the other side of the globe:
"Hello, is it Gousev, I'm your old friend Bernice, do you remember me?"
A lazy voice came from the phone: "Bernes ... Oh, I remember you, have we not seen each other for years?"
"Yes, yes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But I have been following your activities all the time. I heard that you have encountered some setbacks in France some time ago, how about it, have you not been affected? Asked.
"It's nothing, we're doing it against governments, we're used to it." The mysterious man named Gushev said indifferently, and then he asked in turn: "Bernes, I remember that you were not at Warren Company. Our cooperation with Warren Company has always been very enjoyable, and you know this best. "
I certainly know that Warren pays you a protection fee of 15 million US dollars a year in exchange for your promise not to oppose Warren. Is this not clear to me? Bernice muttered in his heart, but said very softly, "Gusev, now all European countries are somewhat against you. Have you ever thought about changing places to do something?"
"Change another place?" Gushev asked sensitively. "What do you mean?"
"China." Bernice said, "I am working in China now, and I understand that two cities in China are building two large RX installations. Haven't your Blue Sky organizations always opposed RX?" To be continued.) SJGSF0916
