American Comics: Angels Descend

Chapter 176



"Boss, the price increase notices for the energy and arms markets have been sent to all subsidiaries."

Hill called.

"But the response was very strong, and many customers called the headquarters directly to protest.

Her tone was full of concern.

"What are they talking about?"

Lin Xuan made himself a cup of fragrant morning coffee, and spoke in a calm tone.

It seemed that he had already expected this result.

"These customers jointly protested that if Angel Technology insisted on raising prices, they would have no choice but to choose another seller."

Hill said on the phone

"Besides Angel Technology, who else can they choose?"

Lin Xuan showed a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

This is where his confidence lies. In these fields, they have no other choice.

Other technologies and companies simply cannot compete with Angel Technology.

"Those guys are just trying to scare you."

He took a sip of coffee and said,"Tell them that this price increase is only a temporary solution, and the specific situation will not be decided until a week later."

A week later, the security hearing will be held.

If the deal can be reached, then everything will be easy. If not, then the price will be raised.

Simply increase the price of all the technology and weapons and equipment sold to the military and the government by several times.

If Lin Xuan is really irritated, he can even lock the backdoors of these equipment.

By then, it will be a pile of scrap metal, but that is not cost-effective for Angel Technology.

It can only solve the problem temporarily, but will make the White House more targeted at Angel Technology.

It may even cause the network of relationships he has painstakingly built to collapse instantly, and finally backfire on himself.

As long as Lin Xuan is on Earth, these networks will be useful.

Besides, there is no reason to cut down the fruit trees you planted yourself.

Therefore, he will not do this until the last step.

If you do something like locking the backdoor once, no one will believe in Angel Technology anymore. Technology.

By then, all his clients will be wary of Lin Xuan, although they will not do anything openly.

But there are definitely countless plans against them in secret.

Although he is not afraid, he does not necessarily seek trouble.

Therefore, this hearing needs to strike a balance.

A balance that shows one's attitude without embarrassing the White House too much.

Let them know that they are now inseparable from Angel Technology, and at the same time, let them feel that they can still control the current situation.

That's the result Lin Xuan wants to see.

This week is the process of him showing his attitude, just showing off his muscles a little.

Can't show too weak, but also can't be too tough.

In the words of the ancient oriental country, it is the doctrine of the mean.

To use Lin Xuan's own explanation, it is to make a fortune in silence.

Sure enough, in just a few days, Angel Technology The announcement released by Angel Technology was widely circulated on the Internet.

Many people speculated that this was a response to the upcoming hearing of the White House.

The neither humble nor arrogant attitude caused headaches for those think tanks.

Throughout the federation, many ordinary people and businesses began to panic. If energy prices rise, their cost of living will increase.

The price increase in the arms industry is a headache for the military and the government, because they have to purchase a lot of equipment and patented technologies from Angel Technology every year.

If the price really increases, the annual budget will increase to a terrifying number.

Almost twenty-four hours a day, there are calls to Lin Xuan's mobile phone.

He was annoyed and simply turned off his phone, quietly waiting for the hearing to come.

In addition to Lin Xuan, the White House was also annoyed.

Senior executives from various departments called to consult, Or directly apply for a budget, and many people simply refute the decision made by the think tank as extremely stupid.

Only a very few people can see the horror of Angel Technology.

Such terrifying energy can be easily generated.

As the saying goes, those who are involved are confused, and those who are on the sidelines are clear. These people who see clearly often have no say.

Because they have no conflicts of interest with Angel Technology, their eyes are naturally clear.

In just one week, those who were originally clamoring to sanction Angel Technology in the federal government's top brass stopped shouting.

Of course, there are still many determined congressmen who plan to give Lin Xuan a good look at the hearing.

There is still one day before the hearing begins.

Lin Xuan was lying on the sofa watching boring cartoons. In a corner of the sofa, a little Lolita crossed her legs, holding a bag of potato chips in her hands, staring at the screen without moving her eyes.

From time to time, she laughed cheerfully. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a thick pile of snow.

Two sturdy robots were cleaning the courtyard.

If it weren't for accompanying Xiaobing, he wouldn't watch such boring things.

At noon, Lincoln called.

""Lin, I can guarantee that you will see a wonderful debate at tomorrow's hearing."

Lincoln's voice was excited.

"We have more and more friends, and fewer and fewer stupid people."

"Fuck, those idiots still want to shake our strong friendship, they should go to hell"

"Then I will look forward to your speech tomorrow."

Lin Xuan raised his lips and looked relaxed.

"By the way, Lin, I have another piece of news to tell you."

Lincoln lowered his voice and said,"Do you want to know who is behind this hearing?"

"Who?"

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"Hammer Industries, Stone Industries, Boeing and more than a dozen other companies are involved.

Lincoln continued,"Lin, if you can get some evidence of their collusion with some congressmen, I think tomorrow's debate will be even more exciting."

"Lincoln, I think you are more suitable to be the president."

Lin Xuan sincerely praised

"All information will be sent to your computer before 6 o'clock today."

"Lin, I know that your ability will never disappoint people."

After a wave of business praise, the call was hung up and Lin Xuan threw the phone on the table.

"Xiaobing, check the recent records between the companies on the list I sent you and all the members of Congress."

He said softly.

"No problem."

The little girl nodded, turned on the computer, and started to operate quickly. Most of these companies, led by Hammer Industries, overlap with Angel Technology in some areas. They are competitors, but they have been losing ground in recent years, no matter how much financial and material resources they spend on developing new technologies and products.

However, every time their new products come out, Angel Technology will immediately launch a product with better performance and more advanced technology.

Over time, these original old companies have gone from bad to worse, and most of the market has been taken away. They can only make some money in some areas that Angel Technology doesn't want.

If they are the ones who pushed the hearing behind the scenes, it makes sense.
