"In a little while, people from the relevant departments will talk to you. Don't be nervous or afraid. Just tell the truth and try to redeem yourself as soon as possible. I will also give you the opportunity to do so," Xing Baohua said, glancing at Hou Qian, who looked nervous.

Of course, Hou Qian's case is nothing special, since it was an attempted crime and was discovered early.

But you can still use it after hearing the other person say thank you.

Xing Baohua continued, "I will arrange for you to work in the lab. If anyone contacts you, you must report it truthfully. If we need you to take some materials out, let us know in advance, and we will prepare them for you. This is your chance to make a contribution, and you might even receive an award. Even if it doesn't benefit you much, it will be very useful to your family."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I... I want to work for a while, leave here, and go back to Da Mei, okay?" Hou Qian's words weren't quite fluent yet, so she used the conditions Xing Baohua had mentioned to make some more requests.

“Sure, the world is so big, you can go anywhere. But I personally suggest you don’t go to the US or Commonwealth countries, they’re still too dangerous for you. The safest country in the world is your own country. Okay, think it over. Don’t tell anyone about our conversation.” With that, Xing Baohua got up and left. A moment later, a man and two women walked in through the door.

Although she was dressed casually, her eyes were sharp. What happened next is unknown, but Hou Qian, this special person, will certainly be used.

Not only do they fish, but they also send out fake information and so on.

These kinds of business spies exist in all major companies.

Microsoft and BigFruit have been at odds for a long time. On the surface, the two founders have a good relationship, but in reality, they have many more lawsuits behind the scenes.

It's all about patent infringement issues, but in the end it all comes down to money.

A lawsuit can drag on for years, and by then the profits from the patents are outdated and have little value; they'll just take whatever they can get out of the lawsuit.

Apple and Samsung are both cooperative suppliers, helping each other to create profits. However, they still fight each other behind the scenes and have been involved in numerous lawsuits.

Just like the most typical counter-espionage case involving IBM a few years ago, Hitachi hired 6 employees and 12 outsiders to steal IBM systems and hardware.

His clumsiness was discovered; he lacked the skillful methods of Lewells.

Perhaps because of their different statuses, they receive different things.

Xing Baohua is considering whether to tell Su Ya about Hou Qian's situation, or to meet with his mother-in-law.

After thinking about it, I decided not to cause any unnecessary trouble, since there might be someone watching us somewhere.

Rice has a certain reputation in the world. Although it doesn't have much independent technology, it has always been at the forefront of technology.

Many of these things look advanced, but when you take them apart, they're just cobbled together by Xing Baohua. The only valuable thing about them is their compatibility.

Just like a two-way pager, the technology originated from Motorola, but Xing Baohua, with Motorola's authorization, made some slight modifications and turned it into a rice-based product.

To enable two-way paging technology for rice, both the rice and the motorcycle need to nod.

Take computers or laptops, for example. Damn, how much of the hardware is actually made from rice?

The only thing that rice can do is to integrate a bunch of computer parts into a very functional way, and it also manages to do some things with the help of other software companies.

The tablet looks great, but when you actually try to study it, it's utter garbage.

This thing is designed for mobile operating systems. Its only advantage is its large size, which is comfortable to look at, but if you run two or three programs, it will lag like crazy.

Therefore, those in the know gave Xing Baohua's tablet a nickname: "It won't freeze you."

It refers to the rice tablet.

Many manufacturers are also trying to research this, but they have found that bypassing certain components in the rice tablet is costly and causes severe lag.

The product is a one-to-one copy of the rice tablets. It is estimated that Xing Baohua would rather stop production than let the lawsuits against various parties continue.

There's no one else who can make a profit on a series of products just by litigating lawsuits without actually producing them.

Xing Baohua returned to the villa from the factory, and for the time being, he was not in the mood to debate some technical matters with Zhang Dongshuo and others.

They've been very arrogant lately, completely disregarding their boss, Xing Baohua, saying he doesn't understand technology.

Even when faced with a tough opponent, Xing Baohua had no choice but to admit he only had rudimentary skills.

I had just sat down for a smoke when Xie Yingying came over with the phone, saying it was Wei Laisong's number.

Without a doubt, it's nothing good.

"National Day is coming soon, how about we organize some activities? This city in central Shandong is too industrialized. Don't you have an entertainment company? How about we invite a few celebrities to come and sing a few songs and do some promotional activities?"

“If you pay, I’ll do it. I can bring in any star in the world. But if you don’t have money, don’t even think about it. I don’t have any money either,” Xing Baohua said.

“How much money can you spend by using your own employees? I’ll cover their airfare and accommodation,” Wei Laisong said shamelessly.

"Are you sure? If you really say that, I'll invite you," Xing Baohua said with a chuckle. Did they really think top celebrities flew economy class? Even if it's just one person, they usually bring a dozen or so people with them, and that's considered low-level; some have dozens, including bodyguards, personal makeup artists, photographers, and so on.

Even celebrities with a little bit of fame travel in business class. These aren't tickets that money can just buy.

They require special channels to purchase, and the price is not low; they are generally not discounted.

The transportation costs for a top-tier celebrity alone would easily amount to tens of thousands of US dollars, or nearly a million yuan, not to mention their food, drink, and other necessities.

Wei Laisong wasn't stupid. Hearing Xing Baohua say that, he didn't say anything. He knew this kid too well. It's just that he felt Xing Baohua had been a bit stingy lately.
