Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 155: Barrier and New Mission
”Mr. Reyes...what’s the situation?” Juliet arrived promptly from the emergency call from Michael.

”Juliet...read this article,” Michael said, handing her his tablet.

Juliet took the tablet and scanned the article, her eyes narrowing as she digested the information. ”This new regulation from China... it’s directly targeting foreign solar companies, isn’t it?”

”Yes, it seems they’re putting barriers specifically to keep us out,” Michael replied, his voice laced with frustration. ”I suspect JinkoSolar is behind this. They’re pushing to eliminate competition in their home market.”

”We need to act fast,” Juliet suggested. ”We should consult our legal team to challenge these regulations. There might be a way to contest this through international trade laws.”

”But that is too much of a hassle,” Michael said and then remembered something. ”Wait...isn’t our target China? China has a larger market for solar panels than America, and we need to penetrate their market to achieve our global expansion goals. What if we use international law to our advantage? Can we challenge these regulations in the World Trade Organization?”

Juliet nodded thoughtfully. ”That’s a valid point, Mr. Reyes. The WTO has mechanisms for resolving trade disputes. If these regulations violate international trade agreements, we could file a complaint. It would put pressure on China to justify their actions under global trade norms.”

Michael leaned back in his chair, contemplating the strategy. ”That could also bring international attention to the issue. If we frame it as a fight for fair trade and innovation, it could garner support from other markets and stakeholders. So, Juliet, you know what to do with these.”

”I’ll have it researched right away.”

With that, Juliet exited Michael’s office and headed to her office. She quickly opened her monitor and then started researching how to file a protest to the WTO against China’s recent trade policy.

[New Mission Unlocked: Establish New Enterprise: Depending on your main enterprise, the photovoltaic company, wouldn’t lead you to build a business empire if the product you are selling is being blocked by the world’s largest market share in solar panels. Your mission is to start another company that is as lucrative as your solar panels.]

[Suggestion: You could start with the one in your mind, a pharmaceutical company. Compared to the photovoltaic company, which is a luxury for the masses to afford, a pharmaceutical company is a necessity. Medicines are essential, and the demand is always there, irrespective of economic conditions.

This could be your way to diversify and strengthen your business portfolio, ensuring stability and consistent growth.

Plus, with the ongoing global health challenges, there’s a clear and immediate need for innovative pharmaceutical solutions. You can leverage the research and development capabilities of your solar panel enterprise to innovate in the pharmaceutical sector, perhaps focusing on sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods.

This new venture could also open doors to markets that are less susceptible to the kind of political and trade pressures you’re facing with the solar panel business.]

Michael read that long text and nodded in understanding. The system was right, he couldn’t just have it all depend on photovoltaic energy alone. The pharmaceutical industry presented a new arena with its challenges and opportunities. He had to think about the long-term viability of his business empire.

”Pharmaceuticals, huh?” he murmured to himself, considering the shift. ”I have planned it long ago to bring down the company my father has built. He left us and I will make sure to destroy his legacy.”

The one he had in mind was a company that would do the impossible, a cure for cancer. Now there is no cure for cancer as of yet. The reason for this is that there are too many variants of the disease, and it adapts quickly to new treatments. Fortunately, he has the technological system in his possession.

That is settled, Michael is going to establish a new enterprise, a pharmaceutical company. It’s going to be exhilarating, he already wondered what the reaction of the public and pharmaceutical giants would be if such a cure is found.
