FWF Chapter 738 Sanctions List
Chapter 738 Sanctions List
Chenghuang Company's large conference room, shareholders' board of directors.
Since the establishment of the company, there has never been such a high-level meeting. All major shareholders were present, more than half of the board of directors were present, and many senior executives were present.
The lights in the conference room were turned off, the curtains were tightened, and everyone was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see their expressions.
Only the large screen on the wall was on. Wei Liqun operated the computer and pulled up an English document from the screen.
"This is the "North African Terrorist Organization Sanctions List" just announced by NATO. The full text translation is as follows."
Wei Liqun clicked the mouse, and the text on the screen changed.
"Everyone should have read it before coming here, so I will briefly summarize the content."
"This NATO document identifies the six local warlord armies currently on the battlefield in North Africa as terrorist organizations and requires businesses around the world to stop trading with terrorist organizations."
"This list has warned some representative companies, including us. The NATO Secretariat requires us to immediately stop the artificial blood trade to six so-called terrorist organizations."
"We still have large orders for these six North African local armed forces, including an additional 1.2 million liters of artificial blood in recent days, 5.8 million bottles of Chenghuang mosquito repellent ointment to prevent mosquitoes, and 200,000 bottles of neuropeptide anti-fatigue medicine. All orders have been prepaid with a 50% deposit, which is paid in the form of physical gold in accordance with the international gold price. The gold inspector we hired from Shuibei has done it and there is no problem."
"The main content of today's meeting is to discuss the next step." Wei Liqun looked at the people at the table and said, "Please speak freely."
There was a moment of silence, and everyone's faces were hidden in the darkness, like a group of motionless dummies.
Finally, someone spoke.
"What does the superior mean? We, a private enterprise, cannot do whatever we want with this kind of international issue, right?"
"We have asked our superiors for instructions. The superiors want us to decide for ourselves whether we comply or not." Wei Liqun said immediately.
The atmosphere changed slightly, and the somewhat motionless head finally moved, looking first at a figure at the end of the long table, and then at the people next to him.
"NATO has more than 30 member countries, with a high proportion of developed countries. It is a big market, and they have very good spending power." Someone said, "Take short-sleep tablets and Song Hesu, for example, the sales volume in NATO countries is extremely high, higher than that of the entire The African continent is still high.”
Some people nodded in approval, but more people remained motionless, or just turned their heads slightly and looked towards the end of the long table.
"Actually, that's not necessarily the case." Someone suddenly said.
"What's the meaning?"
"NATO is a military organization, and the medicine we sell is business. Can the statement of a military organization affect business? Even if we don't comply with this list, does it mean that these more than 30 countries will stop buying our medicines? I don't think so."
Someone nodded again, and the exchanges suddenly became more frequent.
"That makes sense. They are not monolithic. They are in serious internal strife."
"It may not be a ban on sales, but maybe we will be asked to pay a fine. The large amount of the fine is quite disgusting."
"I suggest not to provoke NATO. It is easy for people to set up a small private enterprise like ours. The African market is far worse than the European market. When we do business, whoever has the money is the boss, right?"
"I have a very bad feeling. We have been targeted after only a few years of development? If we reach the level of challenging Pfizer in the future, will our company be directly sanctioned? Treat us like Alstom back then? So we are here The second best thing is not to compromise?"
There was a bit of chaos in the conference room, people's hearts were floating, and all kinds of different personalities, emotions, and considerations were conveyed to each other.
After a while, everyone fell silent again, looking sideways at the end of the conference table.
The figure at the end remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Africa is also an emerging market." Someone mentioned.
No one spoke, nodding or objecting, and the atmosphere seemed cold.
"I think we should open up our minds." Someone else said.
"How to open it?" Wei Liqun asked.
"NATO's North African Terrorist Organization Sanctions List is like a test paper for us."
"I don't know if you were good students when you were in school. Anyway, I wasn't. If I took the exam seriously, I would fail every exam, so I cheated every time I took the exam."
Several people were surprised and couldn't help but look at the speaker. Two low laughs rang out from the corner. Soon the entire conference table couldn't help but laugh. The atmosphere was not as stiff as before.
The speaker himself laughed, but his tone became serious again:
"It's okay for everyone to laugh, but I mean what I say. Cheating violates the rules, but breaking the rules often brings huge profits. I am very proud every time I succeed in cheating. Those good students study hard and memorize a text all night, and I am very happy." It only takes a few minutes to make a cheat sheet! Of course, getting caught cheating is also very painful. My father beat me with a stick and broke my bones."
There was another burst of laughter, and everyone at the table couldn't hold back, but no one said anything.
"The paper NATO gave us today, my suggestion is also cheating. Just now I heard many people comparing the European market and the African market. This is diode thinking. Only children make choices, right? You should want them all!”
"How to cheat?" Someone was interested.
"There are too many ways to do this. I am a small shareholder, and I am only responsible for making suggestions. It is up to you, the major shareholders, to decide what to do."
More people turned sideways and looked at the speaker.
"For example, we issue an announcement saying that we will strictly abide by the international community's sanctions against terrorist organizations and stop trading after the last batch of goods is shipped. How much is the last batch of goods? It's a lot. It may not be completed in a year and a half, maybe three years. It won’t be finished in five years. After the goods are shipped, there may be a warranty return and exchange service. Anyway, it’s the last batch of goods.”
"For example, let's set up a shadow company, set up in the Middle East or Central Africa, or even in Europe, and be responsible for trade with North Africa. Chenghuang is only responsible for selling goods to the shadow company. As for who the shadow company sells to, we have no control. Right? After being discovered, we can severely criticize the shadow company, interrupt trade, and start another shadow company. Let NATO investigate and keep silent."
"Considering the special war situation in North Africa, we can even directly fake the packaging bags. What they want is blood, not product trademarks. The packaging bags for the NATO blood market are produced in my hometown. I bought a batch of packaging bags and filled them with artificial blood. , It’s so exciting to sell it! Maybe there will be mutual suspicion within NATO, guessing who secretly sells blood to other countries to make money, and let them eat dog."
"In short, there are thousands of ways, and the first one is making money. There are always ways to avoid the rules. I'm done."
There was a murmur on the table, and everyone was a little tempted by this evil and tempting proposal.
Finally, the figure at the end of the long table cleared his throat.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent and stared at him intently.
(Continuous yang, pain all over the body, try to finish more, or maybe not)
