Chapter 586 Monopoly and Dumping
While the world was nervous about the emergence of alien fleets, some others were not idle either.
Whether it was the personnel sent by Cang Qiang to Europe to perform recycling tasks or the cadres sent by Chu Shaobai to conduct crisis public relations, they all felt an indescribable feeling, as if an invisible net was vibrating above their heads. The German media's position could barely be considered fair, at least not attributed all the responsibility to the game console or the game itself. Although there were reports that accused holographic games of being too addicted, it was not mainstream after all.
However, media in other countries are not that easy to talk about, especially the British media hyped the theory of game console killing, which led to a drop in sales of fantasy game consoles in the British Isles by 3%. This is actually nothing. After all, most players are brains, and they are not convinced of whatever the unscrupulous media says.
However, the terrible thing is still behind. A Dutch media took the lead in analyzing a series of data such as the market share of fantasy gaming machines in the EU using data, and finally came to a well-known conclusion: Titanium Star Games' dream gaming machines have monopoly behavior, which violates the Anti-Monopoly Law, and called on the official to intervene in the investigation.
Soon another Dutch media also began to bombard the fantasy game console, believing that this game console is the culprit for a large number of school-age children's addiction to games, and there are a lot of bloody, violent and pornographic scenes in the game. They even cited some clothes-changing shots of the beautiful girl development game that were only sold in Japan as evidence of the crime, and said with some sensation that such games can only cultivate a group of pedophiles.
Before the crisis public relations personnel could react, another wave of attacks came again. The Polish Ministry of Commerce came forward to hold a press conference and announced that it would impose anti-dumping duties on electronic game products imported from the Han Empire, with the main targets being fantasy game consoles and holographic games. The reason they gave was that such low-priced products had a huge blow to the local industry, and Poland's own electronic game industry has been struggling in recent years, and even its neighbors, Germany and Ukraine.
The only thing that is thankful is that the EU Anti-Monopoly Investigation Bureau did not pay attention to the media's call for "justice". Their boss is hoping to participate in the second round of talks between China and the United States in Pingjing. How could he offend the large companies of the Han Empire at such a critical moment? The EU's intelligence work has always been very serious. They think they are very clear about who the backstage of Titanium Star Group is, and no one will do anything at this time.
There were chaos in Europe. And some media in China even made a fuss. The front page of an unknown tabloid released a title titled "Titan Star Group's European Strategy Loss Loss", and sold more than 100,000 copies as expected. Then, it was found that tax evasion and forged news were charged. After the vigorous and decisive trial, the person in charge cried and regretted it. Given the good attitude of admitting guilt, he was sentenced to only three reprieve and one fine, but it was inevitable.
After this incident, the unscrupulous media have become much more restrained. At least they will use more normal titles such as "Don't use antitrust as a tool to eliminate dissidents", or "Inspiration from the European Bad", "The Strategy Adjustment of Titanium Star Group is Inevitable".
Liu Mei picked up a big meat bag and stuffed it into her fiancé's mouth, and hummed, "You dare to say that I was willing to be deceived by you, but why did you just let Ye Zi go?"
Yesterday, Ye Lingben said she would sleep with Brother Ikki, because Li Xiwen was not there, and she became more courageous. However, Liu Jinpeng persuaded him to send her back, but turned around and ran to find Liu Mei. Liu Jinpeng explained with a wry smile: "Ye Zi is too pure. You will know if I tell you a joke."
Liu Mei waved her hand quickly and said, "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore. I know your joke, isn't it just to use that as a microphone? Humph. I don't believe it. You won't let Ye Zi do such a thing in the future."
Liu Jinpeng stood up and sat next to Liu Mei and hugged her and said, "Don't be angry, I don't mean to look down on you, you know I'm not that kind of person."
Liu Mei was a little awkward. Yesterday, Ye Ling wanted to sleep with him and he didn't do it, but came to find herself. Could it be that I, Liu Mei, was born with lewdness? Now when she heard her fiancé come to apologize, her heart immediately became soft, but she still said in her mouth: "I don't know anything, I know you always bully Sister Xiaoyu and me."
Liu Jinpeng smiled apologized and said, "Who told you two to be so tempting? Even Liu Xiahui can't help but live again."
Liu Mei was happy, but squinted and said, "Liu Xiahui is said to be a god of eunuch, are you?"
Liu Jinpeng smiled strangely: "Are you husband? Don't you know the good wife?"
As he spoke, Liu Jinpeng's hands became unhonest again, but a cold snorted from behind him soon came. Ye Ling ran up in her pajamas and stared at the two of them with a bad expression and asked suspiciously: "I was so intimate early in the morning. Did you sleep together yesterday?"
Of course, Liu Jinpeng denied that Ye Ling sat down and took his small bowl to add porridge from the pot. While drinking, he said contemptuously: "Sister Xiaoyu brings Meiling and Meihua over immediately. Why are you two so close to you?"
Liu Jinpeng usually doesn't have a good time with women in front of children. Hearing this, he quickly sat back to his seat and pushed the newspaper to Zhang Yu's empty seat. She used to reading the newspaper every day. After Zhang Yu came over, he brought warm buns to the two girls, and then asked them to add porridge by themselves. She took a look at the big title in the newspaper.
"Is there a big deal in Europe?" Zhang Yu didn't know about this, but she didn't know what Liu Jinpeng was going to do now.
Ye Ling quickly put down the porridge bowl and said, "That's right, those foreigners are uneasy, Brother Yixiu, don't be afraid, Ye Zi will definitely support you."
Meiling and Meihua didn't bother to have breakfast, and raised their fists and shouted: "Support Brother Ikki and defeat the foreigners!"
Everyone was surprised. Why did Meiling and Meihua also call me Brother Ikki? Only Ye Ling smiled and touched Meihua's head close to her, and said proudly: "Well said that, Sister Ye Zi turned around and brought you delicious food."
Liu Mei felt that Ye Zi would just yell at random, and said disdainfully: "What's the use of just shouting slogans? You need to take practical actions."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Well, I believe Brother Yixiu, he will definitely be able to handle this matter well."
Zhang Yu held the newspaper and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Liu Jinpeng replied with a smile: "Chu Shaobai is dealing with it. I promised to give him enough time, so I don't have to take action yet."
Liu Mei's eyes rolled, and she came over and asked in a low voice: "I was fooled by you yesterday. What's the matter with that alien fleet? Tell me about it."
When Zhang Yu heard Liu Mei’s question, he also raised his ears. Ye Ling widened his eyes and asked curiously: “Is this what Brother Yixiu did?”
Meiling and Meihua also came over, looking at the group of adults huddled together with two small faces. Liu Jinpeng was so amused that he was so happy that he coughed and said, "It's not my business, don't guess it. I just think that this fleet is from a strange place. Maybe they are just passing by and set off again in a few days."
