"According to the current evidence, Apple is suspected of illegally stealing national citizen information in our country. Now I order the relevant departments to immediately seal and investigate Apple. In this way, let the Ministry of Commerce cooperate and investigate Apple's economic problems as a reason
…”
The national intelligence agency issued an order. This matter is too serious. If the information of citizens of many countries is leaked, this has risen to the level of national security.
The relevant departments took action. At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce of China also cooperated. The reason was economic problems. After all, in the past few days, there have been too many people clamoring for Apple to return the goods.
"Hey, who are you? You can't just enter..."
Yanjing, Apple's China branch, some people in suits walked into the branch. The security guard quickly stopped them and asked about the situation.
"We are from the Ministry of Commerce of China, and we are now ordered to investigate Apple..."
A few people took out their IDs. After seeing the IDs, the security guard swallowed his saliva and no longer dared to resist.
A large number of people flocked to Apple's branches, and intelligence agents disguised themselves as personnel from the Ministry of Commerce and sealed off Apple's branches and some flagship stores in China.
And the news was quickly spread by the media...
"Apple's branch was sealed by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce..."
“Apple’s flagship store was blocked for unknown reasons…”
“China’s Ministry of Commerce is watching the investigation of Apple’s branch…”
"Chinese administrative department action..."
After the news was announced, everyone was shocked. Not only the domestic media, but also the foreign media were shocked. Apple was actually investigated in China. This is too abnormal.
What level of company is Apple? This company has too much influence. If there is no real problem for such a company, the Ministry of Commerce of China will definitely not take action. After all, China has also joined the World Trade Organization and must abide by some rules.
.
The closure of the Chinese branch also shocked Apple. Apple did not expect that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce would close its branch.
But now, the Ministry of Commerce of China has really blocked it. It acted very quickly and blocked it without any warning.
All the senior executives in the company were taken away, and all the computers and everything else were taken away. Accounts and other items were also packed away, which left Apple confused.
For a company as big as Apple, its corporate finances must be perfect. Even if they evade taxes, they avoid taxes reasonably and never make false accounts to avoid taxes.
So they think they don't have any financial problems, but now they are blocked by the Ministry of Commerce, and they don't know why. As for the information security backdoor, Apple is very confident that the relevant Chinese departments will not discover it. After all, the backdoor is very hidden.
.
“What happened to Apple?”
"I'll go, the Ministry of Commerce is so awesome..."
"That's awesome. Since when did our Ministry of Commerce become so awesome..."
"It's so cool..."
"This will be exciting..."
"Hahahaha, it's so exciting..."
"Investigating Apple is awesome..."
"I like……"
"That's it, let them investigate us often..."
"Yes, we must investigate..."
Domestic netizens became excited. This thing was too exciting and incredible for them. This was something that had never happened before.
It’s so difficult. In the past, foreign countries conducted dumping investigations on Chinese companies, which caused heavy losses to some Chinese industries. But this time, China went so far as to directly attack Apple, the company with the largest market value in the world, even in the United States.
A company that dares not investigate.
At this juncture, Huaxia Company is under investigation by the Ministry of Commerce of China. This matter is definitely adding insult to injury for Apple. Originally, the Longteng incident caused Apple to plummet. Now that the Ministry of Commerce of China is investigating Apple again, the next step is very promising.
It may be that Apple completely withdraws from China.
Withdrawing from China and the world's largest consumer market is a huge loss for any brand.
Chaos, complete chaos. This battle has become so chaotic that no one can understand it. Longteng Group is under investigation abroad, and Apple is under investigation in China.
It looks like retaliation, but no one knows what the actual situation is. Purpose Now both Longteng Group and Apple are facing huge problems, which the other party needs to solve quickly.
In Lanhai City, in the conference room of Zhang Fan's villa, all the senior officials gathered together.
"Okay, let's start the meeting now. First of all, I want to announce something. The first is that the opening of the national war function of "PUBG" is postponed. At the same time, it is announced that foreign countries are cooperating with the investigation of relevant foreign departments and the game is temporarily under maintenance..."
Zhang Fan whispered, and everyone took a breath after hearing this.
This decision will have a huge impact on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. This will greatly reduce PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' income.
But now we can only say that, except for China and some unimportant markets, the more important markets such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea are already under investigation, and the game is on hold.
"Chairman, do you mean to withdraw all our staff?"
Xu Huang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, strategic contraction. Instead of stalking and dealing with them wherever they are, it is better to strategically contract and focus on the country. First lay a solid domestic foundation, and then we will expand outward..."
Zhang Fan said seriously. The expansion of foreign markets back then was due to the relatively high competition in the domestic market. But now, after the Longteng official website, the domestic situation of the Longteng Group is completely different.
Now that we have offended Apple, instead of being toyed with by them abroad, it is better to lay a solid foundation at home first. The domestic market is huge.
Well, just a domestic market can make Longteng Group unable to survive. What's more, Zhang Fan is also drawing charity, and his future definition is to take an industrial route.
The business of Longteng Group is still in its infancy in China, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Shrinking the market and positioning itself domestically. This is a strategic contraction and at the same time taking a high-end route. This time Longteng Group was hindered abroad only because its products were not high-end enough.
If the Longteng Group's products are the most high-end and indispensable, no one dares to check them, and no one dares to touch them.
Strategic contraction, this is Zhang Fan's definition of Longteng Group. As for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the game's ban is only temporary. When Apple's trouble comes, they will no longer have the energy to take care of Longteng Group's affairs.
