"It looks like we need to make a move as well..."
"Hmm... Did you just say that Wei Chuangli is proactive?"
"Then let them fire the first shot! First, halt Hua Wei’s OEM business, then hold onto their raw materials, to disrupt their operations..."
"Tell Wei Chuangli that Congress will foot the bill for all the losses incurred from this!"
"Hmph! I want to see them surrounded and under attack from all sides, to see how tough they can talk then!"
"Yes, Director!"
The deputy hesitated for a mont before speaking again.
"But Director, nationalism is on the rise within their country.
"Our aggressive actions might end up increasing their support. I heard Hua Wei’s phone sales skyrocketed several tis just today...
If our actions actually help them expand their market, could we be outsmarted by our own cleverness?"
Naji didn’t seem concerned at all.
"Heh! Don’t you know that the more you open the faucet, the faster the water flows?
"How much inventory do they have in raw materials? Even if they’ve stocked up in advance, I’m certain they can’t last more than half a year!
"I’m actually hoping their sales explode. The more they sell, the faster they’ll go down!
"Once they run out of high-end models, tell , whose market will their mid-range and low-end models be snatching up?"
"That would be... Sanxin and other dostic brands within Country Hua?"
"Heh! Exactly! The more the low-end market competes, the lower the profit margins, and they might just start fighting amongst themselves.
"So the most profitable high-end segnt will be completely devoured by Apple, with no more threatening competitors!
"It won’t be long before the mobile phone business, which accounts for more than half their revenue, will shrink significantly. It’s like cutting off one of their arms and heavily damaging their ability to regenerate.
"That way, our goal of containing their developnt will have been achieved.
"A Hua Wei confined to the dostic market poses no threat to us!
"Once there’s a generational gap in their technology, in a few years, when our Starlink, AI, and chips continue to lead, it’ll be a pipe dream for them to catch up..."
Director Naji revealed a sinister smile.
"But I expect they’re not that foolish. They’ll surely try to prolong the process as much as possible, to preserve the high-end brand they’ve worked so hard to establish, while hoping for an international situation improvent.
"Heh! Do you believe they will have to limit sales soon?"
"I see. Everything is under the control of Director. Brilliant, with strategies miles ahead!" the deputy imdiately offered a complint.
"Heh!"
Having arranged the follow-up actions, Naji then leisurely took a sip of coffee and nonchalantly inquired.
"By the way, what’s this sudden ERP replacent at Hua Wei all about?"
A re corporate software update should be trivial, hardly warranting the personal attention of the CIA director.
But since it served to embarrass him, Naji beca instantly concerned.
"I’ve already looked into it. Even their middle managent was unaware beforehand; it seems to be a sudden decision by their top executives.
And as far as I know, Country Hua hasn’t got any particularly outstanding dostic alternatives.
"Hua Wei does intend to develop its own ERP system, but I’ve heard they’ve only just initiated the project, so it’s unlikely to be making rapid progress.
"Such a hasty replacent will inevitably lead to so operational chaos...
"My guess is that it’s just a gesture they’re making to show us their resolve."
"Hah! Is this what they call ’standing firm for the sake of pride’? These people of Country Hua are truly foolish!" Naji scoffed.
"Director is right. As they say, ’A wise man submits to circumstances.’ Almost all Asians have knelt down, except these stubborn people from Country Hua."
"Heh! No matter how tough they are, it’s all in vain against absolute power!
"You can change all you want; it’s just switching the broth, not the dicine. Can you even replace our databases?"
Naji certainly had the confidence to say this.
In the comrcial sector, database software is almost dominated by companies like Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM from across the ocean.
For instance, SAP and Oracle, as the absolute rulers of the world’s ERP system market, are known as the rcedes and BMW of the ERP world.
And Oracle is even a notch above the rest.
The real strength of its ERP system lies in its excellent database!
In the field of database technology, it is very difficult to find a more competent company than Oracle.
"It is the largest enterprise-level database vendor worldwide, widely used across industries, consistently sitting at the top of the market, even capturing nearly half of Country Hua’s market share, much of which is in the high-end market.
"Not to ntion, nearly all of Country Hua’s banking systems use Oracle.
"Moreover, its database and ERP system are sold as a package.
"Including most of the banking systems at ho, a considerable portion of large companies, Oracle’s software is deeply ingrained in the entire operating systems of enterprises.
"The core of our vital industries relies on the enemy’s database.
"It has to be said, this is a significant risk for the nation.
"Though banks and enterprises can use firewalls, architectures, and other hardware and technical ans to isolate the database servers from external connections and fundantally prevent data from leaking through software, if the underlying technology is soone else’s, it ans they would find it much easier to ddle..."
