Zhang Fan and the President of the United States got into a fight and even threatened each other. This made the melon-eaters scream with joy, and many people were waiting to watch the excitement and see how each other would show their anger.
The matter did not keep everyone waiting for too long. Just the next day, the United States took action. On the grounds of receiving a report, it launched an investigation into Longteng Group's industries in the United States and included Tesla on the tax increase list.
After the trade war began, Tesla was not included in the tax increase list because it was a new energy vehicle. Now the U.S. government has directly included Tesla in the tax increase list, directly imposing a 25% tax increase.
tariff.
"Don't provoke the United States..."
The President of the United States tweeted again early in the morning, sounding like a scoundrel.
"Damn it, this is not the president of a country."
"Are you too mean?"
"This is American hegemony..."
"It's so shameless..."
"Shit fair..."
Domestic netizens are furious. This is not the president of a country. He is simply a scoundrel. He raises taxes for any reason and puts a stumbling block on a company.
"Follow the plan..."
Early in the morning, after seeing this news, Zhang Fan had a cold look on his face. Just hit him, whoever shoots him. The worst is that the American market doesn't want it, so he has to say this.
"Notice about the removal of some products from the shelves. Due to complex factors, Longteng Group has removed some products from the shelves..."
A notice was posted. Notification of product removal, and there are two principles for the products to be removed from the shelves this time. The first one is an American brand, and the second one is a product originating in the United States.
This list contains many things, daily chemicals, food, furniture and home appliances, etc.
The most injured one is Procter & Gamble in the United States. Procter & Gamble is the world's largest daily chemical company. The market in China is huge.
The annual sales volume in Longteng Mall is even more terrifying, but now it has been taken off the shelves by Longteng Group. Not only has it been taken off the shelves in online malls, but it has also been taken off the shelves in offline supermarkets.
When this notice was issued, the owners of these products were dumbfounded. No one expected that Longteng Group would pull this trick. This trick was too cruel.
"I'll go, Brother Fan will be cruel this time..."
"Awesome..."
"Hahaha, it's good to take it off the shelves..."
"Reposted, take a look, these brands must boycott..."
"A trade war is a war. Boycotting American goods starts with me..."
"Support Brother Fan..."
"Support Brother Fan..."
"Support Brother Fan..."
"Support Brother Fan..."
Zhang Fan's Weibo also forwarded this announcement. After this announcement was issued, many celebrities and artists also stepped forward to help.
They don't care about the US government, and they don't go to the US to make money. So at this time, they still think it's important to please Brother Fan.
This time it became lively, and the lists of these brands were forwarded to each other by countless netizens. Zhang Fan’s influence in China is too great.
Coupled with the participation of entertainment stars, these brands suddenly suffered.
"Lenovo is a Chinese brand, why did Longteng Group affect Yuchi?"
At the time of the delisting trend, Lenovo’s chairman couldn’t help but speak out. It was because Longteng Group had delisted the Lenovo brand.
"American imperialism's conscience companies will not explain..."
Zhang Fan's Weibo responded quickly and posted a few photos.
The same product, the same configuration. The price in the United States is much cheaper than in China.
Not only that, Lenovo moved its headquarters and even its factories to the United States. Instead, domestic computers have to be imported from the United States.
"Brother Fan is absolutely right. Companies with conscience from the US imperialism must be removed from the shelves..."
"It should have been taken off the shelves long ago..."
"Go and serve your American master..."
"Off the shelves, it must be taken off the shelves..."
"Hahaha, Brother Fan has his personality..."
"Boycott American products..."
"Boycott foreign fast food..."
"Boycott McDonald's..."
"Boycott KFC..."
"Boycott Pizza Hut..."
"Little Sheep is also American..."
Netizens worked together to dig out more American brands, including Chinese companies that were acquired by American companies.
"The next step is foreign fast food, and we Chinese people can also make hamburgers..."
During the excitement, Zhang Fan once again posted a promotional leaflet on Weibo.
Wallace is a Chinese fast food brand with a wide range of products, including burgers, French fries, fried chicken, pizza, drinks, etc.
It also says that on October 1st, 100 stores across the country will open. At the same time, franchises will be accepted...
"Hahaha, foreign fast food feels uncomfortable now..."
"Isn't it just hamburger and fried chicken? There's nothing difficult about this thing..."
"Brother Fan is mighty..."
"This is done..."
"Hahaha, we can't do anything in the United States, but we still can't deal with you in China..."
"It's so cool..."
“The U.S. government won’t play this trick, right?”
"He dares to say that this is a corporate behavior, not a government behavior, unless the United States completely breaks away from China..."
People who were watching the excitement were talking about it. They finally saw the excitement this time.
The company's own actions are not government actions at all. The government has not intervened. But now that the people are spontaneously resisting, the government has nothing to do.
Longteng Group's removal of those products is purely a commercial act. After all, those shopping malls and platforms belong to Longteng Group, and Longteng Group can let anyone on it be willing to use them.
If you say Longteng Group is overbearing, you can choose other platforms.
Injure the enemy by one thousand, and damage yourself by eight hundred. Any other company would never play this way. But Longteng Group does this, and it dares to play this way.
I have such a bad temper that I will play with you even if I lose money. Let's see who can outspend the other in the end. Without the US market, even if the entire foreign market is lost, it will only be a small loss for Zhang Fan.
Even if there is only one Chinese market left in the end, Zhang Fan still has money to spend.
Longteng Group's reaction triggered a series of reactions. On the same day, Procter & Gamble Group's stock fell by 4%, Yum Brands fell by 3%, McDonald's fell by 2.8%, and KFC fell by 3.6%...
…
Lenovo was even more miserable, plummeting 5%, and the stocks of some other companies also fell. If this matter continues to ferment, it is estimated that the stock will continue to fall.
Longteng Group is an unlisted company, so if you want to go short, you can't do it. But these listed companies are unlucky.
In one day, the stocks of these companies evaporated by tens of billions of dollars. Behind this, many institutions also shorted these stocks in advance.
This scene makes many people feel heartache, and many companies in the United States directly complain about the trade war. At this time, they are itching to hate. Damn it, the president will let them lose money.
Compared with Longteng Group's small industry in the United States, the stock losses of these American companies were much greater than that of Longteng Group. This is really not worth the gain.
