Chapter 157: The Tough Tianqi Group

Liu Qingli was stunned for a moment.

Faced with sanctions from Yingjiang Country, our company is actually preparing to fight back? Instead of finding a way to cope and resolve it?

Wouldn't that be too arrogant?

However, she kept these words in her heart, not daring to say them directly, and only asked hesitantly:

"Boss, after all, Yingjiang Country is a nation, and it must be admitted that they are the most powerful country in the world today."

"We are just a company. Although we are facing unreasonable sanctions, the losses are not that great after all, so is it really necessary to fight back directly?"

"Doing so would not only offend Yingjiang Country, but might also lead to the loss of a huge market, and the development of other businesses in the future could also be affected."

"Qingli!"

Su Xin's tone became slightly heavier, directly interrupting Liu Qingli's words; his voice turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"We possess the most cutting-edge technology, we are not lacking in markets, and we are even less lacking in money. There is no need to act timidly or be overly concerned about gains and losses in front of anyone or any force."

"Even if the other party is Yingjiang Country."

"Since they have taken action against us, we must naturally fight back. Otherwise, other countries or other companies will think we are soft persimmons that anyone can squeeze at will."

"Therefore..."

"Not only must we not tolerate this, we must fight back and let Yingjiang Country know that we are not to be trifled with."

Su Xin's eyes turned cold, and he instructed indifferently:

"Issue a public announcement—"

"Due to Yingjiang Country's loss of trust in Tianqi Group's technology, in order to avoid causing trouble for the Yingjiang Country authorities and to avoid security risks for Yingjiang Country users, from now on, our products will no longer be sold to Yingjiang Country, nor will we continue cooperation with Yingjiang Country enterprises."

Liu Qingli's eyes widened suddenly, and she stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She had not expected Su Xin to have such a rigid temperament, willing to use this mutually destructive method, risking the cost of losing the entire Yingjiang Country market, just to protest the actions of the Yingjiang Country authorities.

Admittedly, several of Tianqi Group's products are extremely popular worldwide, but it is impossible to use this to coerce a country.

Therefore, if Tianqi Group really falls out with Yingjiang Country, while it would cause some losses to Yingjiang Country, it would also deal a huge blow to Tianqi Group's business.

This is simply a lose-lose situation.

Su Xin continued calmly:

"Since they do not trust us, we will announce that we are completely abandoning the Yingjiang Country market, including but not limited to Thor Battery, Tiantian Assistant, Xiaozhi Driving System, Xiaotian Flight System, Tianmu Eye Drops, Tianmu No. 1, and all products developed in the future."

"Among them, aren't the two agents, Tianmu Eye Drops and Tianmu No. 1, currently being negotiated for cooperation with various countries? Remove Yingjiang Country from the list of partners."

Liu Qingli came back to her senses and replied:

"Understood."

Previously, according to Su Xin's requirements, the two agents of the Tianmu Series were only launched domestically; foreigners who wanted to buy them had to come to Long Country and queue up with a large number of Long Country people to snap them up.

Even if the clamor abroad was high, Su Xin only let Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company wait for the right moment.

He was waiting for the official authorities and pharmaceutical companies of various countries to offer the best terms to Tianqi Pharmaceutical amidst the increasingly high public demand before agreeing to cooperate with them.

Therefore, Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company had been keeping major pharmaceutical companies in suspense, neither flatly refusing nor accepting the cooperation.

It had been dragged out until now just like that.

The cooperation negotiations between Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company and the major pharmaceutical companies were actually nearing their end; according to the normal schedule, it wouldn't be long before the news of the cooperation was officially announced.

Now, Tianqi Pharmaceutical directly removing all pharmaceutical companies in Yingjiang Country from the cooperation list would certainly make the Yingjiang Country pharmaceutical companies furious and would also cause turmoil in the public opinion of Yingjiang Country.

After all, the Tianmu Eye Drops agent is different from any other product; it concerns the vision health of many people, and it is the only one on the market with no competitors.

If the people of Yingjiang Country knew that it was the official sanctions against Tianqi Group that led to Tianqi Group's refusal to send the Tianmu Series agents into the Yingjiang Country market, it would certainly provoke protests from many people.

Protesting against Tianqi Group would be useless.

Then they could only protest against the Yingjiang Country authorities.

In the democratically elected Yingjiang Country, the authorities have to pay attention to the opinions of the people, regardless of whether they are reasonable or whether they align with national interests.

Besides that, the cessation of cooperation on the three major products—Thor Battery, Xiaozhi Driving System, and Xiaotian Flight System—would also make some companies in Yingjiang Country feel quite painful.

For example, the major car companies in Yingjiang Country would certainly see their stock prices plummet under Tianqi Group's announcement.

After all.

If there is no Thor Battery in the future, the market competitiveness of the major car companies will certainly be significantly weakened, and a decline in sales is beyond doubt.

And what Tianqi Group loses.

Is nothing more than money.

This is something Tianqi Group is not lacking at all.

At this moment, Su Xin continued:

"In addition, quietly leak the news that I am developing a drug to cure cancer."

Hearing this, Liu Qingli couldn't help but gasp, no longer caring about anything else, and immediately exclaimed, asking:

"Really? Have there been any results yet?"

Su Xin smiled: "Of course it's fake."

"I am still developing the Lithography Machine right now; where would I have the time to develop a cancer drug? But I will start researching it in the next step."

"In short, it doesn't matter if the fact is true or false, as long as someone believes it."

Liu Qingli then suddenly realized.

It doesn't matter if he is really researching a cancer drug; as long as the people of Yingjiang Country believe it.

No matter how difficult a drug to cure cancer is, given Su Xin's various past performances, everyone would certainly rather believe it exists than believe it doesn't.

Under such circumstances, Yingjiang Country would naturally not want to truly fall out with Su Xin.

The people of Yingjiang Country would be even less willing.

Su Xin chuckled and said:

"However, do not release this news at the very beginning; you must choose a suitable time."

"Before that, release the announcement first to hit the stock prices of several major enterprises in Yingjiang Country and cause them some trouble."

"Anyway, their so-called sanctions won't have any impact on us in the short term, so you might as well have the Yingjiang Country branch arrange for leave."

A smile appeared on Liu Qingli's face: "Alright, I will arrange it that way then."

After starting work the next day.

Liu Qingli followed Su Xin's orders and issued an official announcement in the name of Tianqi Group.

And simultaneously announced—

Due to the termination of subsequent cooperation, all branches of Tianqi Group's subsidiaries located in Yingjiang Country will soon cease operations and be deregistered.

Thor Battery will no longer supply Yingjiang Country automakers in the future.

Yingjiang Country member users of Tiantian Assistant will only be able to connect to servers in other countries as before, or will only be able to use offline functions.

Xiaozhi Driving System will no longer be able to provide subsequent upgrade services, and all new vehicle models within Yingjiang Country will cancel their intelligent driving versions.

At the same time, Yingjiang Country pharmaceutical companies will be removed from the partnership for the two Tianmu Series drugs.

All products under Tianqi Group in the future will also refuse to cooperate with Yingjiang Country.

This announcement stirred up a thousand waves with a single stone.

Everyone in Yingjiang Country, including netizens all over the world, was deeply shocked by it.

The toughness and decisiveness of Tianqi Group exceeded everyone's expectations.
