Time flies.

As the year draws to a close, all factories have opened for the holidays early.

Lin Ziyan only prepared to go to Beijing after receiving the contract from S Group.

Grandma and her two younger sisters have already set off with Grandma Lan and the others.

Only Lu Yunshen and she remain in Fu City.

However, they bought plane tickets for today, flying directly to Beijing.

"Li Yazhen actually agreed to your conditions? Has the sun risen in the west in Country A?" Lu Yunshen clicked his tongue a few times after reading the contract, looking very suspicious.

After the senior executives of S Group spent a week in China and made a trip to Guangzhou, the negotiations went much more smoothly.

Lin Ziyan couldn't help but laugh when she recalled Li Yazhen's expression when she signed the contract.

If her father knew that she had signed a contract with the eldest princess of the S Group while suppressing her anger, he would probably laugh his head off.

"If she compensates according to the original contract, it will only bring shame to S Group. She must have weighed how difficult it is to open up the Chinese market without integrity."

“Now that Guangzhou is open to the outside world, there are many groups eager to share in the benefits. Once S Group’s competitors find a weakness, can Li Yazhen not foresee the consequences?” Lin Ziyan analyzed simply.

The machines will be given away for free, and S Group will pay half of the cost of setting up the factory. S Electric's authorization will still be valid, but it will no longer be an exclusive authorization nationwide, but an exclusive authorization in Fuzhou City.

Finally, a huge amount of compensation must be paid according to the contract.

This contract may seem like a loss for S Group, but they can actually make it back within a year of entering the Chinese market.

Lin Ziyan knew their profits in their first year in China and had a precise grasp of them.

Of course, if they disagree, she has ways to deal with it, but it will be more troublesome and take longer.

At this point, time is money, and Li Yazhen knew that if they couldn't terminate the contract peacefully, they would lose even more.

"So, they made this much profit in their first year in China?" Lu Yunshen hit the nail on the head; this was the real reason why the S Group compromised.

Lin Ziyan narrowed her eyes. "Their R&D team is very capable. They can release new products in less than a year, and their actual use testing is also very good. It's easy for them to capture the market."

"In addition, they will move their parts processing factories here, taking advantage of our cheap labor. Their costs will decrease, but the retail prices they sell to various countries will remain the same, so you can imagine how low their profits will be."

Lu Yunshen pursed his lips tightly. The booming development of the electrical appliance industry in the next ten or twenty years is the trend of the times.

No wonder S Group made such a big move this time.

The plane soared into the sky, sunlight piercing through the glass and casting a golden glow.

As we prepared to arrive in Beijing, the sky was overcast, and everything below was a blanket of white.

At this time, it was snowing heavily in Beijing. Snowplows were working back and forth, and trucks spreading coarse salt were slowly driving on the main road.

Lu Qiuying and Xiao Jin were waiting at the airport exit.

"The plane landed half an hour ago, why haven't they come out yet?" Lu Qiuying anxiously checked her watch frequently.

The roads are currently blocked by heavy snow, and there aren't many cars on the main roads.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The weather forecast said it wouldn't snow that day and the weather would warm up.

Xiao Jin gently put her arm around her shoulder, "The tarmac needs to be shoveled too, so it'll probably take a while to get the luggage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshen pushed his suitcase and walked out side by side with Lin Zi.

Nie Lei followed behind them, his sharp captain's uniform making him stand out.

"Ayan," Lu Qiuying waved to the two of them.

She only heard about the S Group from Sister Fang after she returned to Beijing.

Lu Qiuying hasn't been idle these past few days since returning to Beijing. Minister Hai has been asking her out for tea every day, subtly inquiring about the electronics factory.

Lin Ziyan walked up to her. "Sister Qiuying, we can just take a taxi back. Why did you come to pick us up?"

"Are my great-grandmother and the others alright?"

"On the day it snowed, my great-grandmother and grandmother went to the temple to pray for blessings, while Yang Yanzhou took Jiaojiao and the others to play all over Beijing..." Lu Qiuying said briefly.

"We happened to be free today, so we decided to come and pick you up..."

The two chatted idly, ignoring the three people following behind them.

Nie Lei looked at the two walking ahead and smiled, "Yun Shen, Qiu Ying and your wife get along very well, which is quite rare."

Lu Yunshen's lips twitched, but he ignored him.

Can he say that his sister is stealing his wife?

…

The group returned to the compound.

Lu Yunshen was summoned to the study by the old man.

Lin Ziyan and Lu Qiuying were packing their things in the room.

The quilts inside had all been replaced with festive red ones, and double happiness paper-cuts were pasted on the windows.

"Tell me quickly, did S Group really sign such an unequal contract?" Lu Qiuying asked curiously.

Why rush to pay compensation when you could have just paid it directly?

She asked Xiao Jin, but he wouldn't tell her, which made her so angry that she kicked him out of bed last night.

“They want to use land in Guangzhou to build a factory, so they can’t have any blemishes on their credit,” Lin Ziyan replied simply.

The policy in Guangzhou is currently only known to the Ministry of Commerce, and she guessed that Lu Qiuying probably knew about it as well.

As expected, Lu Qiuying's expression turned solemn upon hearing this.

She only heard about this from Minister Hai after returning to Beijing. How did the S Group find out?

Did the other groups find out as well?

Lu Qiuying fell into deep thought, thinking that if this news were to spread, it seemed that Guangzhou would benefit.

Thinking this through, she breathed a sigh of relief; the Ministry of Commerce had used this scheme cleverly.

They lure foreign corporations into their trap without warning, and even if they find out later, they have no choice but to suffer in silence.

"Ayan, they plan to open an electronics factory in Guangzhou. Will that have a big impact on you?" Lu Qiuying asked with concern.

Guangzhou is primarily a technology hub, and its future development will be much faster than that of Fuzhou.

Lu Qiuying thought that, following this trend, Guangzhou might become a special economic zone in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"There is an impact, of course, but not too much," Lin Ziyan said frankly.

Fortunately, Hairun Appliances has already established its brand.

After the New Year, she plans to capitalize on the time difference to increase brand awareness of Hairun Electric Appliances.

"Minister Hai wants to see you, it might be related to your uncle." Lu Qiuying pursed her lips.

She couldn't find out about things abroad, but she had heard about some of the investments in Guangzhou.

Rongkai Group is investing in an electronics wholesale city with a large building area, which may become a landmark building in Guangzhou.

Minister Hai's intention was for her to go to Guangzhou for a period of time to follow up on this electronics wholesale market.

The port construction is nearing completion, and she no longer needs to keep a close eye on it.

Mr. Lin did not trust the higher-ups in Guangzhou.

“Okay, then you can arrange a time with him.” Lin Ziyan thought of a possibility and readily agreed.

Lu Qiuying nodded slightly. She hadn't replied to Minister Hai yet, but if the higher-ups issued a transfer order, she would have to go there for a while.

Xiao Jin will also be transferred there, as the urban planning of Guangzhou needs to be adjusted.

"Sister Qiuying, are you questioning the decision made above, or your own ability?" After relaxing, Lin Ziyan felt sleepy and drowsy.
