Chapter 989 Black Thursday!
"...For the domestic market, our company's promotion of wireless charging piles in Shanghai meets the living needs of the general public and the development needs of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. This cannot be shaken by the will of other countries."
"For overseas markets, Huafang encourages Chinese enterprises to restrain themselves overseas, abide by local laws and regulations, and be a company and entrepreneur with a sense of international responsibility and in line with local social expectations."
"However, the honesty of our entrepreneurs is not a reason for some people with ulterior motives to do whatever they want."
"We will pay close attention to the progress of the matter and take necessary measures when necessary."
At the scene of the press conference in the Great Hall, the shining camera lens was like the headlights on the highway.
Facing all the domestic and foreign reporters present, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of Huaguo announced this content with a righteous voice.
Although there was no strong wording, this statement was like a declaration of war, sounding the clarion call for counterattack.
In fact, action had already begun long before this press conference.
First of all, East Asia Power, a fusion energy giant that touches the sensitive nerves of the world, has cooperated with the requirements of the environmental protection department to start self-inspection and rectification of overseas orders, and the order for the fusion reactor core in California has been postponed indefinitely. .
not only that.
Just like the US Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation of Xingkong Technology, this is just the beginning.
As the world's largest superconducting material company, Julius Baer Group, which once completed the SG-1 superconducting material with Xingkong Technology and provided superconducting magnets for the Haizhou Experimental Reactor, issued related announcements, because various Various reasons, in short, the suspension of receiving orders from North America.
The impact of this move on Julius Baer Group is also not small. However, as a subsidiary of the state-owned China Airlines Group, sometimes it does not completely use profit as the performance assessment indicator for the top leader.
However, for the fusion power station under construction in California, and those companies that are closely tied to the interests of the fusion power station, it is equivalent to driving them to a dead end, even worse than the postponement of the core project.
There is no other reason.
The core itself is a matter of next year. Even if there are some twists and turns, they still have a whole year to repair their relationship with Huaguo.
But the SG-1 material is different.
This thing is a key material for building superconducting magnets used to confine magnetic fluids. Once this thing is out of stock, the entire project progress has to be stopped.
For those power companies and public utility companies that have put almost all their fortunes on this fusion power station, the fusion power station will come online one day later than expected, which means huge losses of tens of millions of dollars.
Then there's aerospace.
On the grounds of infringement of corporate intellectual property rights, the relevant departments accepted the report submitted by Air Science Group, and included the two US construction units participating in the "Deep Space Gate" lunar space station project as the objects of investigation of intellectual property infringement cases.
Logically, there is no right to interfere with the US project on the moon, and in fact it did not do so, because there is no need for that.
More than 90% of the transportation projects of the Earth-Moon transfer orbit segment in the Deep Space Gate Project are contracted by Xingkong Technology's Queqiao, even including Space-X's own cargo.
Others can't control it, but it's easy to control your own people.
Almost at the same time as the infringement investigation was initiated, Xingkong Technology immediately complied with the requirements of the relevant departments and suspended its cooperation with the companies on the list for space launch missions.
For a while, let alone the construction progress of the Deep Space Gate was suspended, even the supplies of the construction workers were cut off!
The most innocent among them, apart from the two sanctioned American aerospace companies, may be NASA.
In order not to delay the construction plan, but also to appease the mood of the staff on the lunar orbit, Director Carson had to urgently contact the Space Launch Center in Houston, and put the The ashes-eating BFR rockets in the warehouse were dragged out, barely coping with it.
With the carrying weight of the BFR's Earth-Moon transfer orbit, it is more than enough to send a batch of supplies.
However, seeing that the launch cost increased by an order of magnitude in a straight line, Director Carson couldn't say a word other than crying.
This thing is really true, people are sitting at home, and the pot falls from the sky.
And it was still aimed at the forehead!
From controllable fusion to spaceflight, the countermeasures are like a torrential rain that has been suppressed for a long time, pouring down in an instant.
And what's interesting is that all the countermeasures seem to have a common feature, that is, the fields involved are more or less related to Professor Lu or Xingkong Technology...
Dazed by the sudden rainstorm, not only Bem did not expect it, but the whole Wall Street did not expect it.
Almost no one doubts that they will definitely react, but even if they are prepared to deal with the shock, they still did not expect that this moment will come so suddenly!
And so strong!
Just two days ago, many investment banks held a meeting to analyze the operation strategy or stay put, and wait and see the changes before the official voice.
If the wording of the response is strong, reduce the position moderately. If there is no response or just call on the US side to calm down, then you can consider repositioning Exxon Mobil or Tesla stocks to get a share of this "hunting".
However, there is no doubt that almost all traders on Wall Street have lost their calculations.
At this moment, the New York Stock Exchange is already crying and howling.
"God! They can't do that!"
"Because of environmental reasons, the order is suspended indefinitely! Is the reason for this kind of deception to treat people as fools? Can't they abide by a little contract spirit?"
"This is Chiguoguo's revenge! These damned barbarians! Can't they use some civilized methods!"
The aerospace sector plummeted across the board!
Stocks related to Western Electric Power collapsed collectively!
Especially those listed companies whose value has doubled because of their successful participation in the California fusion power plant project seem to have been knocked back to their prototypes overnight, from a phoenix hanging high on a branch to an absolute treasure in the eyes of major speculators. Good object.
I don't know whether it is to stabilize the sentiment of the market or to vent the grievances in my heart. The Wall Street Journal wrote an article in the latest issue of the newspaper and commented that the scope of the attack should not be expanded to areas that have nothing to do with the new energy industry. This will not help Resolving disputes will only escalate them.
As soon as this article came out, it was immediately forwarded by countless North American media.
Almost the entire North American media, on pages related to current affairs, are reporting on this sudden shocking change. Even the White House, which has been stunned by the intensive countermeasures, sent a spokesperson out to appeal to the parties to remain calm.
However, it is obviously impossible for anyone to buy into these appeals without any real action and sincerity.
The bloodbath in the capital market is just the beginning.
On the Friday after Black Thursday, an even bigger riot is brewing on the streets of California.
When I heard that the tens of billions of fusion power plants invested in California may be ruined by some idiot sitting in the White House office, the citizens of California couldn't sit still...
