“I was wearing a bulletproof vest. I even made you wear it, but you didn’t care. The bulletproof vest was hit and your ribs were broken. The surgery was to put steel pins in your ribs.”

Xing Baohua explained that Lao Mou pulled over a stool and sat down, saying, "We're just ordinary people and businessmen. We never thought about fighting and killing each other. We really need to learn our lesson this time and always wear bulletproof vests when we go out."

Xing Baohua waved his hand and said, "You don't need to do that. They're targeting me, it's happened several times already. Also, you need to go back and take charge of everything. Get everything in order, from the Hammer's production line to warehousing and sales, you need to get on board tightly."

"OK."

After visiting Xing Baohua, Lao Mou returned to the company, but there was a tense atmosphere there.

The employees all looked somewhat nervous or flustered. Perhaps when they saw the boss return, they felt like they were seeing sunshine, and their faces showed some smiles.

When Lao Mou returned to the company, his secretary and sister-in-law appeared in the office to report on the recent situation.

One issue is that Lao Mou was arrested, and many investors came to demand their funds back, even causing trouble.

Another thing is that a lot of plainclothes officers have been stationed at the company. Some are checking the accounts, and some are investigating people's interpersonal relationships.

The employees can't see the boss, who is rumored to have been arrested. Everyone is in a state of panic, and there's no point in talking about work.

The arrival of plainclothes officers made them even more panicked, fearing they would be implicated. The officers explained that according to the attendance sheet, staff were required to come to work; those who didn't might be guilty of thievery or trying to abscond.

Nobody knows what they're looking for.

"Okay, I understand. Tell the employees that they've all worked hard this month, and their end-of-month bonuses will be doubled as compensation. Oh, and please bring the plainclothes leader here."

The plainclothes officers didn't come, but a phone call came instead. As soon as Lao Mou answered, he heard someone say, "Just do your own thing. Don't call anyone."

He hung up the phone after saying that, leaving Lao Mou somewhat confused.

Right now, he needs to quickly contact the distributors and establish sales channels.

Smartisan phones are about to be launched, so another round of advertising is needed.

Many of the models are based on rice, and the distributors are also related to rice distributors, which makes sales much more convenient.

When Xing Baohua visited Smartisan before, he calculated the cost of Smartisan phones and set the price on the spot.

The first feature phone, priced at a record-breaking low of 1999, represented the significant reduction in industrial costs due to the domestic production of technology.

The price of 1999 is not even as much as the price of an imported pager.

The second phone with some features is priced at 3999.

The third multimedia mobile phone with TV broadcast is priced at 8999.

Xing Baohua set the price after seeing the cost. Why did he set it to 999? He didn't know. Wouldn't it have been better to round it to a whole number?

Once the listing price is set, that becomes the price for the distributors.

Xing Baohua instructed Lao Mou to have the distributor purchase the goods at the factory price with full payment.

Then, a rebate system is used to allow agents to profit from the price difference.
