"James, you told me it would be delivered on Monday. It's already Friday, and the batch of game consoles I want haven't been assembled yet. How much do you plan to compensate me?"
James argued helplessly: "Lorrick, you have to blame the government for this. How do I know that some of the components of the game console are manufactured by Magic Technology.
Now because of the government's sanctions on magical technology, they have stopped supplying us in the United States.
I'm looking for a new supplier now, we are old customers, so please be considerate of me."
Lorrick said: "Okay, I'll give you another week. If it's not done yet, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
…
…
"George, I'm sorry, we can't deliver the excavator you ordered on time, and we are willing to pay a late fee for this. The reason for the delay is because our government's sanctions on Magic Technology have disrupted our parts supply."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I have purchased the latest intelligent engineering robot directly from Fantastic Technology. It can not only do the work of an excavator, but it can also do the work of a scraper. It's amazing."
"Wait a minute, what did you say? You bought an intelligent engineering robot from Fantastic Technology?"
"Yes, you don't need to pay me late fees. You just need to return my deposit. I don't want any liquidated damages for the sake of our many years of cooperation."
"No, why did you buy the intelligent engineering robot from Magic Technology?"
"It's easy to use, and the price is affordable. The money I spent on three of your excavators is enough for me to buy four robots. The work efficiency is several times that of your excavators. Of course I want to buy a product from Magic Technology."

Steven, the president of Texas Electronics in the United States, has been suffering from a headache recently.
Because recently Texas Electronics has received notices from multiple overseas customers canceling orders. As the world's largest manufacturer of analog circuit technology components, Texas Electronics is the ninth giant in the global semiconductor field.
This situation has never happened before. Even though the Tang Dynasty's Wise Technology suddenly emerged, the products of Wise Technology mainly hit the number one Intel.
Today, Intel can only survive in the US market. It only took Wise Technology half a year to dominate all markets except the US.
If the United States had not included Wise Technology in the entity list, Intel might have collapsed.
Of course, another giant, Gaotong, has fallen. After all, the Tang market accounts for 60% of Gaotong.
Now not only the Tang market, but also other overseas markets do not use Gaotong products. Without a strong Intel background, Gaotong can only fall tragically.
After all, the era of mobile phones is gone forever.
"David, are you sure it is magical technology that has taken away our overseas customers?" Steven rubbed his temples and asked the vice president in charge of overseas markets in front of him.
"Yes, before I came to your office, a big customer in Gaul had just canceled his order. I have a good personal relationship with him and asked him why."
Steven quickly asked: "What did he say?"
David sighed: "He told me that Magic Technology has corresponding products for our entire series of products, and the performance and quality are better than ours, and the price is only half of ours!"
"What? The price is half the price? Does Magic Technology not want to make money? This is malicious dumping!" Steven roared angrily.
"President, maybe we can try to sue Miraculous Technology for malicious dumping in Europe."
Steven calmed down and said, "You have a good idea! You are responsible for this matter and immediately organize a team of lawyers to go to Europe."

"Sean, can you tell me why sales plummeted last month?"
Baumol, the president of Oracle Company, held up the financial statements and asked the vice president of sales.
"I have already launched an investigation into the decline in sales before, and I just discovered the problem." Sean said.
"what is the problem?"
"A new software company has launched a new database product. Their product performance is very good, and they have snatched away a number of our major overseas customers in one fell swoop."
Baumol was surprised: "A new product from a new software company? Our customers all need data stability and security. How dare they directly switch to a new product from a new company?"
"Yes, the main reason is that this company also has other cooperation with these customers."
"What's the name of this company?"
Sean glanced at the information in his hand and said: "Magic Technology is the multinational company that was sanctioned by our government not long ago. It is one of its subsidiaries that launches software products."
"Magical Technology? Aren't they OEM for electronic and mechanical hardware products? Why did you suddenly think of making software?"
Sean looked at the information again, and then said: "Their president once vowed to defeat the giant companies in my country's electronics and machinery industries after our country imposed sanctions on their company.
Maybe he included software in the electronics industry..."
Baumol slapped his hand on the table and cursed: "Asshole, he attacks indiscriminately, isn't he afraid that we will unite to deal with him?"
Sean hesitated and said: "Well, our Secretary of State recently flew to visit Germany, England, Gaul, Rome, Japan and other countries, in order to jointly sanction them.
However, so far, only Japan has agreed and announced sanctions.
I heard that the European allies had already loosened their stance, but the military launched a missile attack on Magic Technology’s industrial park in South Sudan, causing the allies to change their minds again.”
Baumol nodded and said: "So that's it. The military has indeed done a stupid thing. How can it openly launch such a force attack on a factory of a multinational company?"
The person who made this plan should resign and step down, it is simply too harmful. I guess Magic Technology may have been stimulated by this explosion and expanded from the electronics industry to the software industry."
Sean agreed: "Yeah, I think so too."
"It's useless to find this reason." Baumol crossed his arms and thought about countermeasures.
Sean suggested: "President, I think it is necessary for me to visit these major overseas customers who have abandoned our products to understand their evaluation of Magic Technology's database products, so that we can counterattack in a targeted manner against Magic Technology's behavior of overreaching." .”
Baumol praised: "Yes, your idea is very good. Magic Technology's products can no longer enter the American market. If you want to know about your competitors' products, you have to go out.
You take a few product managers with you and visit all the big overseas customers.
Oh, especially Tang Guo, which is our most important overseas market. We must appease our customers before Magic Technology’s software products enter the Tang Guo market.”
The main customers of Oracle Bone Pattern's database in the Tang Dynasty are concentrated in the fields of finance, telecommunications, energy, government and other fields, mainly large enterprises.
In the past two years, in the wave of de-IOE in Tang State, Aliyun has seized a lot of share. If it is defeated by Magic Technology's products again, it will really lose the Tang State market completely.
"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately."
Sean left quickly.
Baumol sighed and said to himself: "Since Tang Guo's Zhizhe Technology and Mengyuan Technology joined forces to subvert the foundation of our IT industry in the United States last year, we have indeed entered a troubled period."
With a "bang", the office door was pushed open with great force, and Sean, who had just left not long ago, rushed in with an anxious look on his face.
"What happened, a dignified vice president acted so panicked?" Baumol scolded with a frown.
Sean reported: "The Tang government has just signed a cooperation agreement with Magic Technology. All state-owned enterprises, universities, and governments will fully use Magic Technology's software products."
"What?!" Baumol stood up suddenly. He stood up so violently that he suddenly felt dizzy. He quickly pressed his hands on the table to support his body.
What are you really afraid of?
"Not only will our database products be replaced, but also CAD software, electronic design software, decision-making software, GIS software and other artificial intelligence software will be replaced! This will definitely be a huge blow to our American software industry!"
Baumol sat back in his chair dejectedly and said: "In the past two years, I strongly opposed the government's policy of restricting the export of GIS software to Tang Dynasty. I thought it was forcing Tang Dynasty to develop its own research and development.
But a group of short-sighted politicians took it for granted that it would take at least five to ten years for Tang State to develop these softwares!
There has been no movement in the Tang Kingdom for the past two years. Now that Magic Technology has cooperated with the Tang Kingdom, a complete replacement has been achieved in one fell swoop. We will never be able to enter the Tang Kingdom market again.
Magical technology is so powerful! How long does it take to be able to launch so many software products at once? I’m afraid I’ve already prepared for it.
Electronics, machinery, software, wow, amazing technology is really everywhere!
Our country really chose the right time to impose sanctions!”
Sean joked: "Yeah, no wonder they launched missile attacks to blow up their factories. I'm afraid they know that magical technology will threaten our survival!"
Baumol stared at Sean, feeling very powerless. There was no logic in this.
"Sean, don't worry about this. Go to Europe immediately. We can't lose the market there. You have to report back the advantages of the other party's products as soon as possible. Our R&D department needs to fully face it. I believe Oracle Bone Pattern is capable of fighting it.
