In front of the three powerful families, Xing Baohua felt that no matter how strong he became, he was still just a little chick.

The money they earn isn't even a fraction of what others pay in taxes. What else could they be but a little chick?

After getting rid of that troublesome Jin Xin, Xing Baohua wasn't sleepy at all and called Xi Yingying over.

"I heard you have relatives at Poly?" Xing Baohua asked.

“Yes, my second uncle is a deputy manager there, not a very high position,” Xie Yingying said.

That's a bit ironic. The position of deputy manager isn't that important. What do you mean by "important"?

"When you're done here and look back on your work, please give me a recommendation," Xing Baohua said.

Xie Yingying nodded: "I guess we should inform him in advance. He's very busy right now, often traveling for work, sometimes staying down there for one or two months."

"Of course, you have to be busy to achieve results and make progress. Those who just sit in the office are basically about to retire," Xing Baohua said with a chuckle.

Seeing that Xing Baohua was alright, Xie Yingying went back first. Xing Baohua then sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and silently paid his "cigarette tax" again.

Judging from Jin Xin and others, Xie Yingying's family is very powerful, and most people can't afford to offend them. But having such a person by his side seems a bit of a waste.

But she also felt that the elders had their own reasons, and Xing Baohua didn't have that many brain cells to think about such complicated issues.

But what he can see is that once the wafer fab is built, it will be enormous and have a significant impact.

Xing Baohua is perfectly capable of being the chairman of the board; her secretary could easily become the board secretary if she were promoted one more level.

This is a very crucial position, its importance goes without saying. The board members will be diverse, mostly from internationally renowned foreign companies, with local entities also holding controlling stakes. If conflicts arise and Xing Baohua loses control, the board secretary will be able to step in.

After all, Xing Baohua isn't an insider, so is his stance firm? Given the uncertainty, it's best to have a few extra steps in mind, just in case.

Within the system, there are rules for selecting outstanding talents, but once the selection criteria for youth have passed and the period of stability has entered, there is a standard: getting married.

In reality, no regulations explicitly state that candidates without a spouse will not be considered for promotion. To put it bluntly, ostensibly, you can still be promoted even if you don't have a spouse.

But actually, you're overthinking it. This situation does happen sometimes, and it doesn't mean that being divorced is a violation.

Therefore, Xing Baohua is currently unmarried, which is considered unstable. Even if he's prone to causing trouble, we still need to be careful. We might have to help him take over a bunch of messes at any time.

Whether he lives or dies is irrelevant, but he owns so many factories, and the workers in those factories need to eat and support their families.

If things really get to that point, the pressure on the local authorities will be even greater. If things aren't handled properly, it could become a major problem. Therefore, it's necessary to have someone with strong trustworthiness to help ease the pressure on the situation.

In the future, the wafer fabs will be backed by foreign capital, local representatives, and a team led by Xie Yingying. As for Xing Baohua, if he plays the game well, he can maintain his leadership position; if he doesn't, he'll easily be ousted.

After finishing my cigarette, I'd thought things through pretty much. What's next?

Once you've made your money, find a way to withdraw. If you can't keep up with hardware, you can switch to software.

I'm having dinner with Boss Zhao tonight, at a slightly higher-class setting.

The dishes were very well prepared; Cantonese cuisine is all about meticulousness and exquisiteness.

After a few rounds of drinks, Xing Baohua brought up some matters requiring further cooperation. Because there were other people present, Xing Baohua did not immediately mention the loan.

Actually, the cooperation with China Merchants Group on several projects is going very smoothly so far. Take Pengji for example, which brings substantial profits. Moreover, there's the Shanghai-listed wafer fab; with Yuanguang, that's like mining a gold mine.

As for the others, they are a bit far away and can't be seen yet.

Luzhong Machinery Factory is too small; it's not even worth mentioning.

Moreover, these kinds of dining occasions are just casual chats, and there's no pressure to drink or compete in drinking, so it's pretty much over. Afterwards, Xing Baohua and Boss Zhao will have a private chat during the break.

After the meal, Xing Baohua had about ten minutes. Although he was not on the same level as Boss Zhao, the fact that Boss Zhao humbled himself to chat with Xing Baohua for a few minutes showed that Boss Zhao respected him.

Within ten minutes, Xing Baohua had already planned to use the funds from China Merchants Group to stir up trouble in Europe.

After listening to Xing Baohua's report, Boss Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll have someone from China Merchants Bank contact you and have Xiao Jin follow up on this."

"OK, thanks."

After Xing Baohua said thank you, Boss Zhao, who had other commitments, shook hands with Xing Baohua and left.

Xing Baohua followed them to the door and watched their car leave.

No matter how rich he is, in other people's eyes he is just a nobody.

At this moment, Jin Xin stood in front of Xing Baohua and asked, "China Merchants Group is a large company, and his word alone doesn't count. Fortunately, we can help you raise some funds through China Merchants Bank."

Xing Baohua turned to look at Jin Xin and said, "Going through the bank will reduce the cost considerably."

"You're underestimating the financing power of China Merchants Bank. Pledge all of Pengji's assets, and with some packaging of your shell companies overseas, we can raise 5 billion for you. That way, our boss can put in a good word for you in the bureau."

"Thank you for helping me so much."

“If you want to get Big Eagle, 5 billion might not be enough. You’ll have to ask Xie’s daughter to get some money from Poly Real Estate. That would be a safer bet,” Jin Xin said.

"Yes. Thank you."

"Just saying thank you verbally."

"I'll treat you to dinner later."

"I like your food." Jin Xin said, then turned and went back into the hotel.

Xing Baohua waved to his guards, and the car quickly arrived.
