Liu Fei quickly received information from the U.S. Department of Commerce fed back by the Commerce Department.
After Liu Qingyu heard this, he first called the chief to report the matter and expressed his opinions. After listening, the chief nodded and said: "Okay, you are responsible for handling this matter. I support you." Opinion."
Liu Fei nodded and immediately gave instructions to the Commerce Department: "You directly tell the U.S. Department of Commerce that our Chinese side will not adopt any compromise measures against the three major foreign-funded groups headed by Yihai Group. At the same time, we will also initiate further measures." Investigation procedures will be carried out to conduct in-depth investigations into more seed, grain and oil companies in China. Any grain and oil manufacturers suspected of importing illegal genetically modified products to China will take the most severe punitive measures, and China has made a decision. The three major foreign-funded seed groups are completely prohibited from conducting any business in China, and the three major foreign-funded seed companies are fined in accordance with the EU's fine formula for similar companies that conduct illegal production and operations in the EU.
As for the U.S. Department of Commerce saying that it will start a trade war with China, you can respond directly to them. As long as they dare to impose anti-dumping tariffs on any of our Chinese products, then we, China, will impose anti-dumping tariffs on three of their products. If they really want to start a trade war, then we in China will resolutely fight against it and will never tolerate it. Since the United States wants to implement the Asia-Pacific military rebalancing strategy, then we in China do not intend to have any forbearance in our economic rebalancing strategy. It should be almost ready to start. Gone are the days of humility and compromise, and the United States should face reality."
After hearing Liu Fei's response, the U.S. Department of Commerce was furious and announced the same day that it would impose punitive tariffs on toys imported from China.
After Liu Fei heard this, he immediately gave instructions that China would completely stop importing GMO corn and soybean products from the United States and instead import non-GMO products from other countries. This result would be achieved within 3 years. It is irreversible.
When the United States heard the news, the farmers were all anxious and immediately organized demonstrations to protest against the measures taken by China. China directly announced at a press conference that the measures taken by China were in response to the United States' trade war with China. There is no problem with the counterattack measures taken. China will never accept any form of unilateral unfriendly trade war against China by any country, including the United States, and will resolutely counterattack, and every time it counterattacks, the intensity of the counterattack will be doubled.
Within the U.S. Department of Commerce, there were huge differences due to the sudden tough measures taken by China. The U.S. Department of Commerce was divided into two camps. One camp was the radical camp headed by Royce, and the other camp was the conservative camp headed by Heisman. The two factions launched a heated discussion about this.
Heisman said loudly: "I think it is necessary for us to face up to the country of China now. They are no longer the country that always swallowed their anger. China's national power is gradually accumulating, and the confidence of the Chinese people is gradually increasing. Gathering together, China is now actively practicing their great Chinese dream. Now the entire Chinese country is unprecedentedly united, and the charisma of its leaders is very powerful. Such China is very powerful and terrifying. I think we have absolutely no need to rely on a few seed companies. It is a small matter that has affected our entire agricultural industry. Now it is time for us to change the way we treat the Chinese people. Otherwise, if we continue, I am afraid it will cause great harm to us."
After Heisman finished speaking, Royce immediately retorted loudly: "I don't agree with your view, Heisman, your thinking is too conservative. I can tell you clearly that the character of the Chinese people will always be It will not change. They have a submissive character at heart. Even when faced with provocations from small countries like Vietnam and the Philippines, they dare not respond forcefully. All they can do is protest, dissatisfaction, condemnation, and defense. They will always be They will not take the initiative to take an offensive stance, because the Chinese are too proud of themselves and are too particular about the so-called majesty of a big country. To be honest, they are too pretentious about fame and reputation, which is of no use at all.
I think that despite the fierce talk of the Chinese people now, in fact they are simply fierce and cruel. As long as we continue to persist, the Chinese people will definitely retreat. Think about it, in the past twenty years, we have been fighting with the Chinese people. Have we ever lost when fighting a trade war? Whether it was the tire protection case, the photovoltaic industry case, or other trade wars, every time it did not end with the compromise of the Chinese people, when did we Americans eat? Too bad, so as long as we insist on fighting a trade war with China, it will definitely be the Chinese who cannot bear it in the end."
Heisman said coldly: "Royce, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that the main person in charge of guiding this China trade war is Liu Fei. You shouldn't know who Liu Fei is, right? , have we Americans suffered too few losses at his hands? Do you know how much we suffered when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Haiming City? Now Liu Fei's status is not what it used to be. With the weight of his words now and the fact that he is personally guiding this trade war, do you think you can win against him?"
Royce is only 35 years old this year. He has not experienced the earth-shattering trade war that Liu Fei had with the Americans when he was in Haiming City. He has only heard about it a little bit. After all, the United States lost too much in that war. It's so tragic that almost all domestic media have blocked news.
Therefore, Royce did not agree with Heisman's statement. He said coldly: "What's wrong with Liu Fei? He is also an official of China. As long as he is an official, he cannot escape from his views on us Americans." The fearful side, what do we have to fear?"
Then, the two people continued to quarrel, not recognizing each other, and the scene was extremely fierce.
The two people argued for more than half an hour but still couldn't reach a conclusion. At this time, the general manager Swart, who had been watching with cold eyes, spoke: "Okay, don't argue anymore. Your opinions sound reasonable. I think otherwise, we will continue to fight China for three rounds to test China's reaction. At the same time, we will put pressure on China from multiple angles such as politics, diplomacy, and military. If China puts pressure on China, look at China. How will the United States react? We must firmly maintain our image of the United States leading the world, and this point must not be shaken."
Neither Royce nor Heisman dared to refute Swart's words, because they knew that Swart's identity was not only the head of the U.S. business department, he also had another identity, that of a certain family. spokesperson, and this family has a great say in American politics, so Swart's decision represents the attitude of this family to a certain extent.
Subsequently, the United States successively adopted punitive tariffs on three Chinese industries, and China did not show any weakness. It launched a firm anti-dumping investigation on six American industries, and at the same time comprehensively increased its tariffs. It also announced that punitive tariffs would be imposed on three Chinese industries. The tariffs will last for at least three years.
After these three rounds, Swart couldn't bear it anymore.
He never expected that China would be so tough, so determined and uncompromising.
At the same time, strong pressure from multiple industry associations in the United States has also made Swart feel a lot of pressure.
In desperation, Swart had to fly to China in person to discuss the final solution to the trade war with the Chinese side, and pointed out that the trade war is a double-edged sword that does no good to both parties. He hopes to use his sincerity to In exchange for compromise and concession from China.
After listening to Swart's words, Liu Fei said coldly: "Mr. Swart, your Americans' thinking is really strange. You Americans were the first to start the trade war, and now you ask us to compromise first." , this is completely unreasonable.”
Swart said: "Mr. Liu Fei, I think you should see that I come to discuss a solution with you, the Chinese side, with great sincerity."
Liu Fei smiled and said: "So what? Do you think that just because you took the initiative to fly to China, you can express your sincerity? Should I give you face? Your thinking is even more unreasonable. On the surface, The so-called sincerity is all false and meaningless. What we in China need to see is that you express your sincerity with practical actions."
Swart said coldly: "Mr. Liu Fei, I hope you can cherish this rare opportunity for peace talks. In your Chinese words, there will be no store like this after passing this village."
Liu Fei sneered: "It doesn't matter, we China will not make unprincipled compromises with any country now. We don't like wars and trade wars, but we are not afraid of these. We China are committed to defending our country's territorial sovereignty." and the national interests are unwavering.”
Swart stood up angrily and said: "Mr. Liu Fei, if you really want to say this, then our peace talks may really not be possible. I'm leaving. You will regret your decision."
Liu Fei smiled lightly: "I won't regret it."
After Swart left, the United States launched a multi-faceted strategic squeeze on China, hoping to force China to make concessions on the trade war issue.
However, the Americans were disappointed and the Chinese side did not give in at all.
In the end, the Americans who paid attention to practical interests compromised. They could not afford to lose. After this battle, China's international image was greatly improved, and Liu Fei's international reputation was growing day by day.
Of course, these are all things for later, and these series of chain reactions were actually caused by a small farmer's trade fair organized by Liu Qingyu, secretary of the Ruiyuan County Party Committee. Liu Qingyu had absolutely no idea about this. Thought of it.
Because at this moment, Liu Qingyu was very busy with the farmers' trade fair.
This is because the farmers' trade fair in Ruiyuan County has become extremely popular. After the live broadcast on TV, the enterprises and companies that came to participate in this farmers' trade fair were like the Yellow River flooding, out of control.
