Meng Hao's face was grim.
He was certain.
Unless the core components of their mechs were disassembled, an explosion was impossible.
However.
He couldn't make a definitive judgment until he saw the disassembled mechs.
The immediate priority.
Was to get these foreign devils blocking the entrance to leave quickly.
Otherwise, if the situation escalated, it would definitely affect the reputation of Huarong Technology.
"Are you going to deal with this or not?"
"Why are you bringing so many security guards out, are you going to beat us up?"
"Let me tell you, we already notified the embassy before we came. If you try to use force, it will definitely escalate into an international incident."
"According to the business laws and regulations of your Great Xia country, if product quality is not up to par, you have to refund and compensate tenfold... ten times the compensation per unit, a total of ten million US dollars including refunds and compensation."
Good heavens.
There were at least a dozen foreign devil companies here demanding explanations.
If Meng Hao were to actually compensate them.
That would be an expenditure of nearly 200 million... which, converted to Great Xia currency, would be 1.5 billion.
Damn it.
During this period.
Huarong Technology's net theoretical profit was only a few hundred million.
If this compensation were paid out.
Huarong Technology would be finished.
It would go bankrupt and shut down.
Meng Hao pondered for a moment.
Compensation.
Was absolutely impossible.
Following that, he directly announced solemnly to the surrounding television reporters.
"First, I am extremely sorry for your misfortune."
"Second, any product produced by our Huarong Technology will not have quality issues. I am very confident in this."
"Finally, before we see the problematic products you provide, we cannot make a judgment!"
Ultimately, Meng Hao summarized the above remarks.
"However."
"You can all stay in a nearby hotel for the time being while awaiting our final inspection results!"
"During this period, all accommodation and meals will be covered by Huarong Technology... regardless of whether the final inspection results indicate an issue with Huarong Technology or not, this expense will be borne by us."
Commercial entities.
Value their reputation above all else.
Meng Hao's move.
Not only temporarily stabilized these foreign consumers but also earned significant goodwill from the media reporters.
Just as most of the foreigners blocking the entrance were about to accept Meng Hao's proposal.
A person who clearly looked like a Great Xia national jumped out.
"That won't do."
"If we hand over the mechs with problems to you, what if you tamper with them halfway, deliberately alter the modules, and claim that the problem wasn't with your product but with our operation? What then?"
"If that happens, we'll have no way to clear our names, even if we jump into the Yellow River."
This was a naked display of distrust in Meng Hao and Huarong Technology's credibility.
That person, who clearly harbored malice and had abandoned his Great Xia nationality to join the United States, directly steered the narrative. The foreign friends, who had been about to leave and go to the hotel with the staff of Huarong Technology's first branch, instantly agreed with his statement.
"That's right, if you play dirty, my son would have died in vain..."
"We demand that Huarong Technology disassemble the problematic mechs on-site..."
"We want to see for ourselves where the problem lies..."
The dagger was finally revealed!
This damned fake foreigner's objective was to force Meng Hao to disassemble the mechs on the spot.
This would inevitably lead to the core parts of the mechs being exposed to the camera lens.
Although the core components of the Phantom Mech were crafted from advanced technology redeemed from the system.
However, if foreign organizations were determined, they might be able to decipher some of the mech's advanced technologies.
Meng Hao, at this moment.
Was in a dilemma.
Either choose to compensate, which would be billions of Great Xia currency... enough to bankrupt his Huarong Technology immediately.
Or disassemble them on the spot, which would inevitably lead to the leakage of some advanced technology.
Facing the aggressive foreign personnel and the fake foreigner who was clearly instigating trouble.
Meng Hao had no choice but to choose the latter.
"Alright."
"Then I will disassemble them on-site."
"If the problem is not with our Huarong Technology, you will bear the legal consequences."
...
Meng Hao retrieved professional tools from the workshop of the first branch and proceeded to disassemble the Phantom Mechs transported from abroad on-site.
Hmm?
There was indeed a problem.
The stamping structure here had been intentionally damaged... however, the stamping structure employed encrypted design, and unless there was a leak from personnel within the factory, it was impossible to locate it so accurately.
The connecting tenons and mortises of the mech's limbs were also intentionally damaged... this part was also encrypted, but it was only basic encryption. This meant that only core personnel on the assembly line knew how to bypass the initial encryption. Without correctly accessing the deeper encryption, an explosion would still occur.
Furthermore, the protective software system and the outer protection system had also been cracked... this also required core personnel of the branch factory to possess the digital encryption key.
Meng Hao only disassembled the external surface components of the mechs, revealing the core area filled with wiring.
Immediately, his expression turned completely grim.
"What is your origin?"
"These more than ten Phantom Mechs have clearly been tampered with."
"And, although only the outermost layer of the three-layer encryption has been disassembled... without the keys, interfaces, and methods for the middle and bottom layers of protection, forceful disassembly would still result in an explosion!"
"I have already called the police. If you have any issues, take it up with the police officers!"
To try and probe the core secrets of another country's company... especially a technology company like Huarong Technology.
This was a criminal offense in any country.
Even if this matter was reported by the television.
It would not cause any negative impact on Meng Hao or Huarong Technology.
On the contrary.
If this news were to be reported.
It would likely incite widespread public outrage.
Failing to crack the mechs produced by Meng Hao's Huarong Technology, they then turned around and claimed the products were faulty.
Such a tactic of the thief crying "Stop thief!" would only be a childish farce anywhere.
