Chapter 1161
"This is the financial hegemony of the old US, whether we admit it or not, in this piece of finance, we really can't play, if the old US is a university student, we might as well be primary school students."
"Those who are clamoring for financial openness come out and take a good look."
"Rabbit: Come on Pup and give me a rating to try."
"S&P: It's been graded a long time ago it's not working."
"Bunny: Come on, win-win."
"S&P: I believe you, damn it, I didn't know that before but now I realise that when you say win-win, you win twice, Flower Q!"
"On the scene, Seoul, the sticks are so nasty and miserable, a big chunk of assets deflated in my hands overnight, hey no more I'm going to go buy buy buy buy."
"Is that Soo-er upstairs?"
"The old US is killing the chicken to make an example of the monkey ah, drunkenness is not the intention, I hope CSAC can resist."
"When will we be able to have such strength ah."
......
With this round of strikes by the old US, all the other international member companies within the North American SIA system were shivering under its gingering power, and the head of the company, Acemore (ASML), returned to Europe in disgrace and flew honestly to North America to meet with SIA principal John Nover.
Although outsiders could not see the scene of their meeting, they were probably making all kinds of amends and being honest.
The world has seen the strength of the US empire's financial hegemony, and after killing a chicken, all the other international member companies within the North American SIA system have become honest.
But the US was not happy, because he knew very well that this tactic was the next best thing, even though all the other international member companies in the SIA had become honest, it had also lost the hearts and minds of the people.
In such a situation, the SIA system seems to be stable, but in fact it is very unstable, and the difficulty of maintaining it is self-evident.
In the eyes of outsiders, the United States of America is very powerful, but in fact the parties concerned are very bitter inside, but also have a hard time to say, is unable to say.
The root cause of all this, in the end is the core technology is not in the hands, has fallen into the hands of Li Linfei and the Chinese.
The bottom card has no king, no matter how imposing it is to bluff outsiders, but not to scare the one holding the trump card, it is just a bluff.
In fact, the North American SIA has not yet come up with an effective solution to the problem, and this hammering of Samsung actually does not mean much in terms of solving the fundamental problem, but is just an act to maintain the face of the global leader, that's all.
The people who have the king of the bottom card are not panicking at all, you old US can make a fuss, panic is my loss.
......
As the international mainstream hotspots buzz, PHC 2.0 has entered its final three-day countdown phase, and ordinary consumers in Europe and the US are paying more attention to the launch of this product.
A middle-aged, fat uncle living in Colorado, North America, David Steny, is a big fan of FutureTech's technology and electricity products, and the Super Generation phone, a product that he thinks is simply cool, fell in love with PHC 2.0 straight after it was announced.
But to Steny's bemusement, Future Tech Group's retail operations in North America were completely shut down and went into what is called a damn hibernation period, indefinitely, not to mention MS, and he didn't even get the Super Generation.
The prices on the black market were ridiculously high, but it didn't matter, Stanny could afford to spend, the point was that there were so few avenues of purchase, and demand was outstripping supply. Still can't buy it.
Once PHC 2.0 came out this time, Danny vowed to get a set back from the black market, even if it was maliciously speculated to such a high price, he still felt it was worth it.
Today, Danny routinely logged onto the Reddit website forum, and frankly, he was so incapable of complaining about the PC version of Reddit that he couldn't believe it was a 2022 internet forum.
The shabby, crude web pages, crude graphics, large blocks of text, etc., are not the beautiful web layout that is popular today, let alone the holographic PHC version that is so full of style.
Reddit is more like a twenty year old site, but even so Reddit is very active, the fourth most trafficked forum community in the world, with over a million boards, each focusing on a specific type of content, news, sports, music and all that jazz.
Naturally there are boards related to the Future Technology Group and PHC 2.0.
When Stanny entered the PHC board, he was shocked, even baffled, to see a posting posted.
Are you kidding me, PHC2.0 is restricted to non-Chinese people? What the hell is this? Are the executives of FutureTech brain-dead?
"What's the meaning of this Coastline company? This tantrum came to a head, and Stanny was furious, with dire consequences.
So Reddit opened a post in anger and tapped out a headline on his keyboard on the fly: a letter to FutureTech.
"To Dear FutureTech, I am a grumpy leopardy 41 year old man who is cynical and paranoid."
"My job is marketing, but I hate it because it's full of empty words and lies."
"At the heart of it all is the fact that customers want to interact and have conversations and keep in touch with the company and all sorts of other absurd and bizarre reasons that are so inexplicable it's crazy."
"I don't care about the companies that make the products I buy, I don't want to deal with Coca-Cola, I would never buy, see or go to a Levi's auction, all I care about is a good product at a fair price."
"While I'm not a fan of those companies, I do truly am a fan of the Denver Broncos, I don't yell at the McDonald's commercials playing in front of the TV, but I do call out when I see Keenum score another touchdown."
"I don't have much affection for Nike & Google, but I don't like to see these companies start firing people when things are bad."
"Why is that? It's because I have feelings for the Broncos, I love this team and I cried with joy when they won Super Bowl 50, and even though I know that a professional team's wins and losses have nothing to do with my life, I still cheer for them."
Chapter 1162
"Thank goodness I didn't devote myself so wholeheartedly to a business company."
"But actually, I have! I've loved all the products you've made over the years at FutureTech, even though I'm a grumpy old fat panther over 40, and I'll never forget the excitement I felt when I first stepped into a 5D cinema, and I've loved 5D movies (and you, FutureTech) ever since."
"It's so COOL to bring sci-fi to life, but it's not COOL at all right now, I don't know what's happening with Future Tech, I don't know if morale is low in this company."
"I don't know why you guys made such an unbelievable sales move with 2.0, but you did it after all and you turned your back on your principled beliefs."
"It's sad because Future Tech's product is the best of all technology companies and your product is the best in the industry, unfortunately, your product was ruined by poor business practices and poor sales."
"We are not your enemies, FutureTech, we are your loyal supporters, but how can you hurt a gentle supporter like this."
"Even my heart wrapped in a 300 pound body is deeply hurt by you, I will not support you anymore, FutureTech, from today, no, from now on never make a cent out of me, I swear."
With all the changes and big events in the Future Technology Group this year, especially after the 2.0 themed launch, this electric product has captured the hearts of high-end electric product lovers around the world just after it was announced, without being launched.
After the 2.0 launch, it has been one of the focal points of attention for FutureTech fan consumers in foreign forums.
David Shitdani, as a fan of FutureTech with his buzz about PHC 2.0, wrote a long letter to Coastline on the Reddit forum, and the post went out to gain more and more fan support and resonance.
It garnered over 39,000 positive comments and a record 88 Silver, 98 Gold and 42 Platinum Reddit coins of recognition in just two days.
It's hard to imagine a company hiring a 300-pound fat uncle named Danny to do marketing.
But Danny has been annoyed lately, having lost his taste for VR and other electric products since the birth of an electric product called Super Generation on the other side of the world.
But what's even more painful is that falling in love with a product and not being able to get it is so torturous that it's driving Danny's marketing efforts crazy.
Back at home, Danny pulled out the ringing phone, yelling angrily before picking up, "Damn it, I swear I'll never consume any FutureTech products again in my life and will never be a fan again. ......Hello?"
When the call was answered, the angry Stanislas made a sudden 180 degree turn and said Hello gently into the phone with a honeyed smile on his face.
The ability to switch between the two extremes with ease and comfort in his mood swings was a good example of a marketing ghostwriter, and his boss wasn't stupid, this was definitely a marketing ghostwriter for sure.
"It's me, David."
"Chan?"
"I'm at the airport, I'm calling you from a payphone. I've heard for a long time that you like PHC 2.0, I'm going back to China this time, I heard that 2.0 is coming out, do you want me to buy one for you?" The words came over the phone.
David Steny was flabbergasted for a moment and immediately nodded his head excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, Chen, you are an international student in China, you can buy it, then please, please make sure you buy me a set on my behalf, it's 2.0, please make sure you don't forget."
"Haha, that's fine, I'll probably go back to school in a week or so, but PHC 2.0 is very expensive, and if the tax is deducted through customs, you'll have to advance it to pay for it." A laugh came over the phone.
"Oooh Cousins!" Immediately after hanging up the phone Stanny was happy as a fat two hundred pound paper, no, in fact he weighed in at over 200 pounds.
Flinging the phone aside, he turned on the jukebox that was in the room and a version of "24K-Magic" by Brother Mars went off.
Danny Shit wiggled his 30 to 50 pound butt towards the fridge, well, I guess that's what makes people happy.
Taking a box of oatmeal out of the fridge and pouring it into a bowl, Shit Danny sniffed it and couldn't help but say, "Titebond.
......
On November 15, PHC 2.0 was officially launched in the only market with a full distribution channel, the Greater China market.
It was a bad time for the US to beat up "Little Han", which in addition to being stuck with the expansion of CSAC's international membership, also stole a lot of the heat, for which the budget for the PHC2.0 campaign had to be overspent by at least 700 million.
Although the product is good enough and there are no worries about sales, marketing is an essential part of any good product.
As early as five days ago, major first-tier cities were already occupied by PHC2.0 advertisements. Landmark buildings, bulletin boards, subways, buses and commercial streets in Xiangzhong City, as long as there is a high flow of people, were all covered by PHC2.0 advertisements.
The online advertising was also in full swing. Future Technology's global business is in a "dormant" period, but on the day of PHC2.0's launch, the advertising campaign was not just for Greater China, but for the whole world.
Cheng Ze is a marketing guru himself, marketing is his strength, but his marketing methods are really too much for ordinary companies to handle, Cheng is a man who dares to spend whatever budget you give him, and even asks for more.
At this moment in the western hemisphere at night, New York Times Square is fully occupied by PHC2.0 advertising, although the product is not sold to this side of North America now, but the advertising of PHC2.0 is playing up, which makes the North American consumers simply hard to die.
Not only that, but the fact that PHC 2.0 is only sold in Greater China but can be advertised globally is tantamount to indirectly telling the world that Future Technology's global business, even if it is still dormant, has the confidence and determination to return to global business.
