However, Luzhong Automobile Factory does not own the technology and equipment.

Wei Laisong reported Xing Baohua's price of 10 billion yuan.

The higher-ups told Wei Laisong that the maximum they could offer was one billion. If he disagreed, they should convene a board meeting, exercise their board rights, and sell the company.

Wei Laisong was displeased upon hearing this. He thought, "I've worked so hard to find someone who shares my vision and we're going to work together. And you're making us have a conflict with just one sentence?"

Just as Xing Baohua said, once the higher authorities put pressure on them, the car factory will go bankrupt.

Given Xing Baohua's temperament, he definitely wouldn't let himself suffer such a huge loss!

If they have the technology, they can produce it elsewhere.

The losses are unimaginable!

Perhaps the authorities don't care about Xing Baohua's so-called sports car, after all, it's a niche market, subject to market limitations, and can only be popular for a short time.

Wei Laisong didn't tell his superiors, but instead communicated with his elders at home about the details.

If he ruins the factory, his future will be over. For the sake of his future, he has to withstand the pressure from above.

His family asked him, "Can't you have a proper talk with Xing Baohua?"

"Why are you pressuring him? If he wants something else, will you give it to him?" Wei Laisong said.

"Okay, give it your best try. If it doesn't work and you can't reach an agreement, then just let things take their course!"

After his elder finished speaking, Wei Laisong hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

You should know that he was under a lot of pressure.

The matter with the Volkswagen Santana isn't over yet. The Foreign Affairs Office notified Wei Laisong that Toyota was coming to visit to discuss business cooperation?

Wei Laisong thought to himself, "Again? Is it because they think Xing Baohua didn't pack up properly enough?"

Since they've come all this way, we can't just ignore them. We need to get an official response to save face.

Arrange for someone to receive the guests.

Inform Xing Baohua that Toyota is coming for you. Are you going to hide or confront them head-on?

Xing Baohua knew to some extent that Toyota's intentions were simply to buy more of their stock.

Putting that aside for now, they came straight here without even making an appointment, wanting to see each other whenever they wanted!

I can't stay in China, I'd better go to the US! I need to make some moves on Wall Street.

While we're at it, let's also see the little princess and Zou Wenjuan.

Okay, get someone to book the fastest flight right away. Leave the chief secretary behind to oversee everything; he'll go into hiding first.

Toyota brought a team of more than a dozen people to central Shandong.

For formal visits, a letter and appointment must be sent in advance. Toyota has little contact with Xing Baohua and no communication with her. They tried to contact Mitsui Fujisaburo, but he was unwilling to act as a middleman and instead told Toyota to contact Hua Hong in Hong Kong, providing the address.

Thus, Toyota's attempt to track them down in Hong Kong failed, and any further action would require the intervention of the foreign affairs department to issue a notification on their behalf.

I thought the letter from the foreign affairs department was a formal notification, but who knew that Xing Baohua ignored it and actually went abroad?

Toyota was so angry it was practically grinding its teeth, but there was nothing it could do?
