"Did you know? The White House actually lowered import tariffs on Chinese consumer electronics, and also allowed several communications companies suspected of information security to operate in the United States!"
"The most important thing is that China's Hongxin Group was actually allowed to enter the US market! What a bunch of idiot politicians!" Isaac gritted his teeth as he scolded.
Lu Zixin said nothing, but Fanny asked confused: "Does this have anything to do with you? Huaxia's products are sold in the United States and abide by American laws. There is no need to protest and boycott, right?"
"No, you don't understand!" Isaac continued, "Did you know? I work in a securities company and I have managed to make some money in the past few years. Because of this policy, the technology stocks in the entire United States have skyrocketed. If it falls, all the money I made will be lost at once!”
"If the Hongxin Group further invades our country's market, our interests will suffer greater losses! Our money will be stolen by Chinese companies! We must resist!"
After listening to this, Fanny probably understood something. Instead of sympathizing with Isaac, she felt a little disdainful. Those who play stocks should be prepared to lose money, not to mention that this is normal business competition. If you are afraid of failure and boycott, it is better to think about how to make your own products better.
Lu Zixin asked in less proficient English: "Is it useful for you to march like this?"
Isaac glanced at him and didn't want to answer his question, but since Fanny was nearby, he still explained in order to give Fanny a good impression.
"Of course it works! We have launched a boycott online, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed it, saying that they will never buy Huaxia... that is, Hongxin's products!" When he mentioned Huaxia, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a Huaxia in front of him. People, then changed their tune slightly.
But what he didn't know was that this man was still the leader of the Hongxin Group.
"Our march was also called online. Look, there are now an estimated one thousand people participating! Everyone has the same idea as us!"
"And we are also preparing to protest and boycott when Red Letter holds a press conference in New York! Let everyone know that Red Letter Group is a company that invades personal privacy, and let everyone boycott it!"
Lu Zixin said: "But didn't the Federal Communications Commission clarify? There are no security vulnerabilities in Hongxin Group's products."
"There must be some inside story here!" Isaac insisted, "We want the government to see it and re-investigate the red letter! In the most serious way!"
"Childish." Lu Zixin spit out two words. After talking for a long time, this guy participated in the game protest just because his own interests were reduced. It is estimated that other people here are similar. There may even be passer-by actors who are paid to help participate in the parade.
"If you don't take back what you just said, I think many people here are willing to teach you a lesson!" Isaac said coldly.
"Isaac! What are you going to do? Lu Yan is my friend!" Fanny yelled.
Isaac glared at Lu Zixin unwillingly and emphasized: "You are lucky!"
Then he said to Fanny: "Fanny, are you free tomorrow? I bought a new house in Queens, with a swimming pool. Maybe I can invite my friends to hold a welcome party for you?"
However, this time, he was still rejected by Fanny.
Isaac felt a little embarrassed and his attitude was not that good. He said: "Fanny, I am your friend. We have known each other for several years and we are both Americans. What is so good about this Chinese?"
"Isaac, you are so disrespectful. I don't want to say another word to you, goodbye!" Fanny said coldly. By the way, he took Lu Zixin's hand and left Isaac's sight.
"Bitch!" Isaac cursed in a low voice, then entered the parade again and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry, Lu Yan, I didn't know his attitude was so bad." Fanny was still apologizing for what happened just now, and said, "Actually, I'm not familiar with Isaac. He is my classmate at New York University. We have been together for a long time. No contact."
"It doesn't matter. He's not worthy of my anger yet," Lu Zixin said.
"Hey." Fanny sighed and said, "They are too irrational. Hongxin has done nothing wrong, so they have to boycott it. I believe most people will not agree with their actions."
"Don't worry, our Hongxin will prove our strength. Some clowns won't have any impact." Lu Zixin comforted her instead.
He put aside the topic and asked: "Fanny, weren't you born in New York? Why didn't I see you come home?"
Mentioning this, Fanny's mood became even more depressed, and said: "My home is in the Bronx, and I have no relatives or friends at home, so I live alone now."
According to Lu Zixin's previous investigation, Fanny's father went to prison for drug abuse in his early years, and her mother should still be alive. There should be some hidden meaning in what she is saying now.
The Bronx is a slum area in New York with relatively poor security management. Fanny didn't go back, and Lu Zixin didn't ask any questions. She said, "Are you tired from shopping today? I'll treat you to dinner. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Really?" Fanny said in surprise, "I can take advantage of my boss today, I'm so lucky!"
…
After walking around with Fanny for a day, Lu Zixin asked someone to investigate the boycott demonstration they encountered during the day after returning to the hotel.
Similar to what Isaac said, on the Internet in the United States, someone launched a boycott of Chinese electronic products, especially the products of the Red Letter Group, and many people signed up.
Today's march is just one of them. They are also preparing to hold a larger boycott march on the day the red letter is released, with thousands of people expected to participate.
"You must be prepared, especially contact the local police and security, so that there can be no trouble at the press conference!" Lu Zixin told his subordinates.
"Yes, Mr. Lu. We didn't think twice about it this time. We'll start preparing right away!"
Lu Zixin was not afraid that the New York police would not help. Red Letter entered the US market, but the US government took the initiative to modify its policy to let it in.
A few days later, it was finally the day of Hongxin Group’s new product launch conference. The location is a science and technology exhibition center in New York, USA. It was released globally and attracted the attention of countless people.
Media and guests from all over the world have already arrived in advance, waiting for the official start of the red letter press conference at 1 pm New York time.
However, there are always some discordant voices. For example, on a street not far away, those who resisted the red letter were marching in protest. Many trouble-making media even went to interview them and wrote these in news reports.
