Chapter 781: Chapter 325 National Security_3 Chapter 781: Chapter 325 National Security_3 The vast majority of countries in the world, considering the interests of their citizens with incurable diseases, have signed the Directory of Friendly and Cooperative Countries agreement with Dream Island, on the condition that they do not hinder the entry of Dream Island's products into their domestic markets. Even South Korea had signed the same agreement. Therefore, when faced with the Simsung Group's sales ban request, these countries did not support the Simsung Group's application, and South Korea was no exception.

However, there is one country in the world that agreed to South Korea's ban application, and that country is The United States of America. Under the miraculous maneuver of the US President, the US unexpectedly reaped enormous benefits from Japan, and they had not targeted Dream Island recently because they were sharing the spoils behind the scenes.

Just when the US was carving up Japan's economic benefits, Dream Island quietly played a trump card. They set their development direction on smartphones, and came up with a new mobile phone that was far beyond the current world standards.

Then, the US Government found that, with the technological support of Dream Island, the four major Chinese smartphone manufacturers had suddenly risen, while their own Apple Inc. was rapidly declining. The US was already suffering from a hollowing out of its manufacturing industry, which caused major structural economic issues and pushed the country towards the brink of recession. Since Apple Inc. was one of the few high-tech enterprises in the US, leading the country's high-tech development, the decline of Apple Inc. would not only pose a crisis to the US's high-tech progress but it would also create economic problems and could even drag the US stock market down sharply, potentially sparking an economic crisis. Even sucking the economic lifeblood from Japan could not make up for the loss that the US was suffering.

So, after realizing that Chinese smartphones posed a tremendous threat to national security, the US President immediately convened a White House meeting to discuss how the US should handle the crisis faced by Apple Inc. and strike against the sales frenzy of Chinese smartphones worldwide. They understood that, in the face of the advanced technology of the new Chinese phones, no matter how hard Apple Inc. tried, it could not avoid falling behind technologically. In the long run, the inevitable outcome was that Apple smartphones would be phased out by the market. This issue was now deeply related to national security and was not just the usual excuses they had made up before.

As expected, after the stock market opened the next day, Apple's stock price plunged by 25%, and its plummet also drove down the entire US stock market. If the US Government did not take steps to halt the stock market's fall, there was a high likelihood that the US would experience an economic crisis.

Therefore, upon receiving the sales ban application from the Simsung Group, the US President immediately ordered a comprehensive ban on the sale of smartphones from the four major Chinese manufacturers in the US, citing national security reasons. The US could not defeat Chinese phones head-on. Thus, completely abandoning market competition, they decided to block the competitors of Apple smartphones from entering the US market to ensure that Apple Inc.'s market share did not decline.

However, because the US had already banned all products from Dream Island, Yan Fei did not pay any attention to the US market this time. As long as the issues between the US and Dream Island were not thoroughly resolved, he could not possibly cooperate with the US. Naturally, he did not harbor any expectations that the US would open up its market to his products. Therefore, following Yan Fei's advice, the four major Chinese smartphone manufacturers had already excluded the US market from their plans. Without wasting energy on the US market, they instead focused on conquering the rest of the world's markets and seized market share while their competitors were still reeling.

In the past, when the US wanted to deal with a country or company, they would form alliances, rallying a large number of allies to besiege and blockade their enemies. However, after having been betrayed by the US in the United Fleet's attack on Dream Island, as well as being constantly reminded of the US's America First Policy, these allies paid little heed to the calls from the US. After all, following the US brought not only no benefits but also carried the risk of being thrown to the front lines as cannon fodder at any time, which made such alliances undesirable.

Moreover, with Yan Fei's cunning and careful planning, he played the trump card of the Terminal Illness Hospital, creating the Directory of Friendly and Cooperative Countries. He used the hospital to control the treatment qualifications for patients with incurable diseases, paving the way for his products to enter the markets of these countries.
