Liu Fei soon received a message from the U.S. Department of Commerce from the Ministry of Commerce.

After Liu Qingyu listened, he first called the chief to report the matter, and expressed his opinion, and the chief nodded after listening and said: "Okay, you are responsible for handling this matter, I support your opinion." ”

Liu Fei nodded, and immediately instructed the commerce department: "You directly tell the U.S. Department of Commerce that we in Huaxia will not take any compromise measures against the three major foreign-funded groups headed by Yihai Group, and at the same time, we will also initiate further investigation procedures to conduct in-depth investigations on more seed and grain and oil companies in China, and take the most severe punishment measures against any grain and oil manufacturers suspected of importing illegal transfer of products to Huaxia." In addition, Huaxia has made a decision to completely prohibit the three foreign-funded seed groups from carrying out any business in Huaxia, and to fine the three foreign-funded seed companies in accordance with the EU's fine formula for similar enterprises to conduct illegal production and operation in the EU.

As for the U.S. Department of Commerce saying that they want to start a trade war against our China, you can directly respond to them, as long as they dare to adopt anti-dumping duties on any of our Chinese products on this matter, then we will adopt anti-dumping duties on their three products, if they really want to start a trade war, then we will resolutely meet the war and will not tolerate it! Since the United States wants to implement the Asia-Pacific military rebalancing strategy, we in China do not intend to have any forbearance, and our economic rebalancing strategy should almost be launched. Gone are the days when we were modest and suffered losses and made compromises and concessions! Please face up to reality on the US side!"

After hearing Liu Fei's response, the U.S. Department of Commerce was furious and announced punitive tariffs on toys imported from China on the same day.

After listening to this, Liu Fei immediately gave instructions that the Chinese side completely stop importing corn and soybean products from the United States, and instead import non-based products from other countries, and this result is irreversible within three years.

When the United States heard the news, those farmers were all anxious and immediately organized a demonstration to protest against the measures taken by the Chinese side, and the Chinese side directly announced at the press conference that the measures taken by the Chinese side were countermeasures taken against the United States in the trade war with China, and there was no problem, and the Chinese side would absolutely not accept any form of unilateral unfriendly trade war against China by any country, including the United States, and would resolutely take a counterattack, and every time it counterattacked, the degree of counterattack would be doubled.

Within the U.S. Department of Commerce, there were huge differences because of the sudden tough measures taken by the Chinese side, and there were two camps within the department, one camp was the radical faction headed by Royce and the other camp was the conservative faction led by Heisman, and the two factions engaged in heated discussions on this.

Heisman said loudly: "I think it is necessary for us to face up to the country of China now, they are no longer the country that swallowed their anger at any time in the past, China's national strength is gradually accumulating, the confidence of the Chinese people is gradually gathering, China is now actively practicing their great Chinese dream, and now the entire Chinese country is unprecedentedly united, and the charm of the leaders is very strong. Terrible, I don't think we need to affect our entire agricultural industry because of a few seed companies, and now it's time for us to change the way we think about Chinese people. Otherwise, if we continue, I am afraid that it will cause us great harm. ”

After Heisman finished speaking, Royce immediately retorted loudly: "I don't agree with your point of view, Heisman, your thinking is too conservative, I can tell you clearly, the character of the Chinese people will never change, they are the kind of submissive character in their bones, even in the face of the provocation of small countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, they do not dare to respond strongly, all they can do is protest, dissatisfaction, Condemn and defend, they will never take the initiative to take an offensive posture, because they are too good at face and pay too much attention to the so-called majesty of a great power. To be honest, they just sell their reputation too much. It's not going to work at all.

As long as we persist in persisting, the Chinese people will definitely retreat, you think about it, in the past 20 years or so, when we fought a trade war with China, have we ever lost? Whether it is a tire special insurance case, a photovoltaic industry case, or other trade wars, which time did not end with a compromise between the Chinese people? When have we Americans suffered a loss? Therefore, as long as we insist on fighting a trade war with Huaxia, it will definitely be the Huaxia people who can't bear it in the end!"

Heisman said coldly: "Royce, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that the main person in charge of guiding this trade war in China is Liu Fei, and you shouldn't know who Liu Fei is, right? Have we Americans suffered less losses in his hands? When he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Haiming City, do you know how much we suffered? Now Liu Fei's status is not what it used to be, with the weight of his words now, plus personally guiding this trade war, do you think you can win against him?"

Royce is only 35 years old this year, and he has not experienced the earth-shattering trade war between Liu Fei and the Americans when he was in Hemming. He had only heard about it slightly, after all, the American side had lost so badly that it had almost completely blocked the news from the domestic media.

Therefore, Royce did not agree with Heisman's statement, and he said coldly: "What's wrong with Liu Fei? Isn't he also an official in Huaxia? As long as he is an official, he can't jump out of his jealousy of us Americans." We have something to be afraid of. ”

Then, the two continue to quarrel, not recognizing each other, and the scene is extremely intense.

The two of them quarreled for more than half an hour and still didn't argue to a result, at this time, the head of the general charge, Swart, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke: "Okay, don't quarrel anymore, your views sound a little reasonable, I think it is okay, let's continue to play with the Huaxia side for 3 rounds first, test the reaction of the Huaxia side, and at the same time we will put pressure on the Huaxia side from multiple angles such as politics, diplomacy, and military to see how the Huaxia side will react." We must not waver in our image of American world leadership. ”

Neither Royce nor Heisman dared to refute Swart's words, because they knew that Swart's identity was not only the head of the American business department, but also another identity, that is, the spokesperson of a certain family, and this family had a great say in American politics, so Swart's decision represented the attitude of this family to a certain extent.

Subsequently, the United States adopted punitive tariffs on three industries in China, and China did not show weakness in taking firm anti-dumping investigations against six industries in the United States, and at the same time raised their tariffs in an all-round way. It was also announced that the punitive tariffs would last for at least three years.

After three rounds, Swart was a little overwhelmed.

He never expected that the Huaxia side would be so tough, so firm and uncompromising.

At the same time, strong pressure from multiple industry associations in the United States also made Swart feel the pressure.

In desperation, Swart had to fly to Huaxia in person to negotiate the final solution of the trade war with the Chinese side, and pointed out that the trade war was a double-edged sword, which would not benefit either side, and he hoped to use his sincerity in exchange for a compromise on the Chinese side.

After listening to Swart's words, Liu Fei said coldly: "Mr. Swart, you Americans' thinking is really strange, the trade war was provoked by you Americans first, and now, you let us compromise first, which is completely unreasonable." ”

Swart said: "Mr. Liu Fei, I think you should see that I came with great sincerity to discuss a solution with you Huaxia. ”

Liu Fei smiled and said: "So what? Do you think that if you take the initiative to fly to China, you can express your sincerity? Should I give you face? This thinking of yours is even more unreasonable. On the surface, the so-called sincerity is all false, those have no meaning, what we need to see in Huaxia is that you use practical actions to express sincerity. ”

Swart said coldly: "Mr. Liu Fei, I hope you can cherish this rare opportunity for peace talks, in your Huaxia words, there will be no such shop after this village." ”

Liu Fei sneered: "It doesn't matter, we in Huaxia will not compromise with any country without principles now." We don't like wars and trade wars, but we are not afraid of them, and we in China are unwavering in our will to defend our country's territorial sovereignty and national interests. ”

Swart stood up angrily and said, "Mr. Liu Fei, if you really want to say this, then I am afraid that our peace talks will really not be able to proceed, I will take my leave, and you will regret your decision." ”

Liu Fei smiled faintly: "I won't regret it." ”

Swart is gone. Subsequently, the United States launched a multifaceted strategic squeeze on China, trying to force China to make concessions on the issue of trade war.

However, the Americans were disappointed. The Chinese side did not back down in the slightest.

In the end, the Americans, who were focused on practical interests, compromised, and they could not afford to lose. After this war, the international image of China has been greatly improved, and Liu Fei's international reputation has increased day by day.

Of course, these are all later stories, and these series of chain reactions were all caused by a small agricultural trade fair organized by Liu Qingyu, secretary of the Ruiyuan County Party Committee, which Liu Qingyu never expected.

Because at this moment, Liu Qingyu is very busy because of the affairs of the agricultural trade fair.

After the live broadcast on television, the enterprises and companies that came to participate in the agricultural fair were like the flooding of the Yellow River.
