Afterwards, Ogre tried to gather all the workers and had them restart the machines to see if they could produce them themselves.
But when he saw the number of workers, Ogre despaired.
Before, Ogre's factory had several hundred workers, which was why it could support such a large project.
But as time passed, these workers were dismissed by Ogre as costs. The last few workers were all accountants, secretaries, and other clerical jobs. There were no workers who could operate the machines.
It was even more impossible to recruit them now, because these workers could not be casually recruited. They needed professional skills. It might be possible to find one or two locally, but it was absolutely impossible to find all of them.
Let alone looking for those dismissed workers, which one of them didn't hate Ogre to the core? It would be strange if they returned.
Even if they did return, they would be crippled rednecks. All kinds of skills would be crippled, and their drinking ability would be terrible.
Not to mention, when Ogre checked the machines, he almost cried. These machines hadn't been used for a long time and hadn't been maintained. Most of them couldn't be operated. Ogre had to find someone to repair them, and some of them even had to be replaced.
In short, according to Ogre's calculations, if he wanted to rely on himself to resume production, it would take at least half a year, and that was on the premise that he didn't care about the cost.
But the problem was that Gwyn needed the equipment, otherwise the penalty would make Ogre go bankrupt.
A few minutes later, the anxious Gwyn called. The despairing Ogre didn't hide anything and directly told him about his situation.
"Forget it, I already dismissed the workers! Just return the deposit to me! "Ogre didn't expect Gwyn to actually say this.
"Why?" Ogre asked in astonishment. He was very clear about this Gwyn. He was an old capitalist who scraped the ground to the point of wanting to scrape out oil. But now, he actually took the initiative to let him go.
"All the electric scooters in a certain country stopped production today. Our country can no longer make electric scooters!" Gwyn said with a sobbing tone.
"What's going on?" Ogre was stunned. Such a large country couldn't make electric scooters, wasn't this nonsense?
"What's your situation, and what's the situation with these electric scooter companies!" Gwyn despairingly said, "All the electric scooter companies are actually using Daqian technology. 80% of their car parts are directly purchased from Hua Xia and then imported through shell companies in the name of raw materials!"
"Even their batteries are directly purchased from Hua Xia without labels. Their factory is responsible for assembling them, and then they claim to be their own."
"These are all products of the Daqian or Daqian. The Daqian has stopped sending out goods. Even the cargo ships that have been on the sea have been called back by the Daqian. They would rather pay a huge transportation fee than send us any goods!"
"Although these electric scooter companies still have some stock, they'll be gone once they're used up. That's why they've decided to stop production and save the last bit of materials for emergencies …"
"The most amazing thing is that when faced with other companies' claims, the Daqian only has one sentence. That is, all the Daqian accounts in certain countries have been sealed. They won't return even a single cent! But some big shots went to the bank to check. All the Daqian accounts are in their own Citibank, and Citibank transferred all their cash and capital to an unknown bank ten days ago. The Daqian's official account in the United States doesn't have a single cent left. The Daqian is reneging on its debt, it doesn't want to pay back!! "Gwyn said this as if he was weeping blood.
"This … This … How could the Daqian do this? They don't care about the rules at all. They aren't afraid of being sued by courts all over the world. They aren't afraid of being banned by businesses all over the world. They aren't afraid …" Ogre said this before going completely stupid. He suddenly remembered that the Daqian had been banned all over the world. The Daqian's tentacles had almost all retreated back to Hua Xia. Unless certain countries were willing to go to war, they absolutely wouldn't be able to get their money back.
Then wouldn't the several million USD he had given to the Daqian be impossible to get back for the rest of his life?
Gwyn had already completely collapsed. "My God, I invested 500 million USD in a power station replacement … This time it's all over. I've lost everything. If certain countries don't have electric scooters, who would still want my power station replacement?!"
"If that's the case, then we still have a chance!" Ogre suddenly said on the phone.
"What chance?" Gwyn froze.
"Do you think the Daqian really wants to completely withdraw back to their country and no longer have any dealings with foreign markets?" Ogre asked.
"Of course not. How could people like us give up on a bigger market?!"
"That's right. I understand. The Daqian's methods are brilliant. They are retreating in order to advance. Think about it. How many companies are the Daqian supplying and how many companies do they owe? If the Daqian really doesn't return the money, how many people like us will completely collapse?! "
"And how could we give up such a huge sum of money? But if we want the Daqian to obediently return the money to us, there is only one way. That is to let the Daqian return and lift the Daqian's ban. That way, for the sake of his market, for the sake of doing business, the Daqian will be willing to return the money to us!"
"To put it bluntly, the Daqian is using this method to force us. Forcing us to cheer for him, forcing us to help him lift the seal!" Ogre said while biting his lips.
"What a vicious method!!" Although Gwyn's boss was richer than Ogre, his brain wasn't as good as Ogre's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked for a middleman like Ogre to earn the price difference. Instead, he would have directly used his connections to go to Hua Xia to order cheaper goods.
Only now was he awakened by Ogre's words.
"Then what should we do? How about we expose the Daqian's sinister intentions and vicious methods to the world?" Gwyn asked.
"And then? Can the Daqian lift the seal? Can they return to the world market? Can we get a refund? "Ogre asked.
"Eh …" Gwyn shook his head. Right, wouldn't that make it even more impossible for the Daqian to return?
"Therefore, for our money, for our business, we have to let the Daqian return!!" Ogre clenched his teeth and said, "Even without the several million USD, Ogre still has to let the Daqian return. Otherwise, how could a middleman like him earn the price difference!"
