The Internet Age is a time when nothing can be hidden; even the slightest disturbance attracts attention. The leaders of the National Security Bureau initially wanted to keep things under wraps for a while longer, hoping to negotiate and rescue Ark Technology. However, the key issue was that news from America was leaked by someone with ulterior motives. What was originally just an idea unexpectedly became a reality due to the fishing vessel incident.
When the news returned home, it immediately caused a huge uproar online!
"Is this for real? Ark Technology has just emerged, and America is already targeting it? This seems overly paranoid!"
"Yeah, Ark Technology is just a new company with little foundation. How did it suddenly become a target? How insecure must America be to act like this?"
"Ha, the so-called world's number one technological power is acting like this!"
"Sigh, Ark Technology really came out too early; tall trees catch the wind!"
"Indeed, when a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will surely bring it down."
"What nonsense are you two talking about? So being too excellent is also a sin now?"
The harsh criticism was only a minority; the rest were overwhelmingly supportive of Ark Technology. Even well-known domestic smartphone manufacturers dared not take a stand against public opinion at this critical moment. Instead, companies like Huawei and Chinese chip manufacturers expressed their support for Ark Technology, stating they would stand together against technological hegemony!
Other smartphone manufacturers that couldn't publicly express their stance also made private calls, offering help within their capabilities. Ji Yuan's phone was almost overwhelmed with calls! Although it was quite bothersome, most of the callers were major players in the industry.
Moreover, the big shots are very friendly, often expressing support, concern, and care for him as a 'junior.' Among them are quite a few who are drinking buddies of his father, Ji Fu, and he feels obliged to be warm and welcoming to avoid making things difficult for his dad.
These big shots, especially those who have faced repeated setbacks in their overseas strategies due to unfounded accusations from Western countries, are particularly attentive to Ji Yuan. They worry that he is still young and might not grasp the gravity of the situation, fearing that he could be overwhelmed by the pressure.
In fact, since receiving the confirmed news, Ji Yuan has not felt any pressure at all; he eats well and sleeps well, everything remains the same. On the contrary, when Ark Technology Co., Ltd. first started, many people had different thoughts. However, once they saw how calm the boss was, they inexplicably settled down as well.
As the fishing boat incident continued to develop, voices supporting domestic products and national technology companies gradually gained absolute dominance online. Thanks to the powerful features of the Patriot Phone, its reasonable price, and outstanding reputation, mobile phone sales surged by 670% following the news of sanctions from America.
When Ji Yuan received this performance report, he was astonished. His first reaction was that someone in the company must be cooking the books; however, he quickly dismissed that thought. Ark Technology could not possibly have issues with falsifying accounts since a significant portion of the shares is held by the state.
Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sun Hong. "Old Sun, did you do some patriotic marketing?" He recalled how his father Ji Fu had made a fortune back when he was just an ordinary wealthy man by leveraging patriotic marketing to help the company break through heavy encirclement from foreign enterprises and achieve industrial upgrades.
Sun Hong looked somewhat speechless. "Mr. Ji, our company doesn't even have a marketing department, let alone do advertising with a patriotic angle! Besides, since our company was established, have you seen any advertisements from us?"
Ji Yuan smacked his lips and nodded dismissively. Ark Technology indeed hadn't done much advertising, but it was a regular feature on Central Television, appearing three times in over six months even on Central Mama News Broadcast! With Central Mother backing the promotion without spending money, why bother forming a marketing department?
With that money, it would be better to invest in research and development to achieve chip localization sooner. Ji Yuan couldn't help but say, "Didn't we have eight hundred thousand overseas orders canceled? How is our performance still so good relying solely on domestic orders?"
Sun Hong grinned, "At first, I didn't expect the public's support for us to be this strong!"
Ji Yuan wasn't pleased; instead, his brows furrowed tighter as he remarked, "This reckless move might harm our sustainable development strategy."
Sun Hong paused for a moment before realizing and nodded, "It will indeed have some impact. The emotional appeal can't last forever; the public's money is limited. However, America's sanctions this time have put us in the spotlight and served as a massive advertisement worldwide, showing us a turning point..."
