They parted on bad terms.

The moment they left, Kuller's complexion returned to normal, and his eyes became even more determined.

S Group may seem to be helping Katie, but in reality, they want to squeeze the last bit of value out of her.

This is common in the capital market, but when Kule himself faced it, his resentment was even greater.

On what grounds?

Katie's technology is top-notch, but it's not being recognized by the market?

Kuller knew that their products were too expensive, deterring many distributors.

However, they also invest a lot in research and development and do not set prices arbitrarily.

To be precise, their technology is indeed top-notch, but they haven't been able to mass-produce it and reduce costs.

Kuller's reluctance to sell the technology has led to Carty's current predicament, leaving her with no way to retreat and no way to advance to the next level.

“President, the price you offered is actually a sign that you don’t want to sell the technology. Why bother meeting with people from S Group? It’s just adding to the trouble…” Sales Director Chris couldn’t help but speak up, looking worried.

Since Katie cannot restructure this time, she has no choice but to declare bankruptcy and sell her technology.

In fact, he felt that it would be better to declare bankruptcy than to be acquired...

But he could only keep this idea to himself and dared not tell Kuleti.

…

the next day,

Lin Ziyan drove to the factory early in the morning.

When she entered the factory's conference room, Sister Fang and Fatty were already discussing the cooperation plan.

"Wasn't it supposed to be 8 o'clock?" Lin Ziyan raised her hand and glanced at her watch; it was only 7:30.

"We don't have your memory, so we have to come early and review the information several times," Fang Jie said with a laugh.

The chubby girl nodded. "Ayan, you usually arrive right on time, but you're half an hour early today."

There were only three people in the meeting room, and tea was being brewed at the tea table next to them.

The air was filled with the aroma of tea, and sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a warm glow.

The morning air was fresh, and the crisp chirping of birds filled the air.

Lin Ziyan poured three cups of tea. "I came early to get used to things, since I haven't been to the factory for two months and I'm a bit rusty."

The chubby girl's lips twitched, and she gave Fang Jie a look, wondering who she was trying to insult.

rusty?

She makes all the major decisions for Hairun, setting the general direction before production even begins.

They are still developing plans according to the goals she set.

"Ayan, last night when I got home, my mother scolded me, saying that I only cared about work and didn't care about my daughter, and that my daughter wouldn't be close to me anymore. Guess how I retorted?" After putting the documents away, the chubby girl started chatting.

I made an appointment with Katie at 8:30, so I have an hour to go.

Her mind is full of data right now. If she doesn't relax for a moment, she'll be more likely to make mistakes if she stays too tense.

"Spend money." Lin Ziyan's lips curled up.

Why are you neglecting your daughter?

The chubby girl gets two days off a week, and can even leave work early in the afternoon to go home and take care of her daughter.

If you don't care about your daughter, how can you say you care? Are you just staying home and doting on her all the time?

The chubby girl snapped her fingers. "That's right, I just slammed the quarterly bonus I received yesterday on the table, and she shut up."

Mu Fang raised an eyebrow slightly. This quarterly bonus was equivalent to two years' salary for a skilled worker.

The factory workers work overtime every day, but not a single worker complains.

If you pay enough money, you can find a way to solve any problem.

"I left early today, and my mother even made me breakfast. She didn't nag me at all." The chubby girl stretched and her eyes brightened.

Economic foundation determines family status.

Her salary and bonus for half a year was equivalent to her mother's salary for five years.

Although the shrimp paste factory made a lot of money from the increased orders,

But compared to an electronics factory, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Cao De was speechless. Compared to those who leave their children in the village to work in other provinces, they were much better off.

Besides, the child is still young and doesn't need to be revolved around at home all day.

Fatty and Cao De reached a consensus: if they were too busy, they would hire someone to help them.

Mu Fang nodded. "Pearl, look at the workers in our factory. Which auntie quit her job to go home and take care of her children?"

"To put it bluntly, I didn't earn enough money before, so I had no choice but to stay at home to farm and take care of my children."

Lin Ziyan sipped her tea, having already memorized the negotiation plan.

Katie is definitely waiting for Hairun to reveal his trump card.

Last night she received a call from Ren Donglai, who said he had found a factory to cooperate with, and that it was someone she knew.

Lin Ziyan wasn't particularly surprised when she learned it was Huo Qizhen.

From the day Huo Qizhen opened his shop in Guangzhou, Lin Ziyan had anticipated that he wouldn't just stick to the restaurant business.

If there are still no business opportunities in the electronics industry in Guangzhou, then Huo Qizhen can retire in a few years.

"By the way, Ren Donglai is coming back tomorrow. Have you thought about how to talk to him about the acquisition?" Mu Fang took a sip of tea and tossed the question to her.

After thinking about it for a few days, she decided that it was most appropriate for Lin Ziyan to step in.

“He signed a contract with the electronics factory yesterday, so we can ship our parts from there from now on.” Lin Ziyan tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers.

The chubby girl looked at her suspiciously, unable to understand why she would go to such lengths instead of opening an electronics factory.

Mu Fang asked directly, "It's not difficult for us to open an electronics factory, what are your thoughts?"

She shared the same idea as the chubby girl: instead of finding a factory to cooperate with, it would be better to open her own.

Even a small mosquito is still meat; making parts from it is quite profitable.

In addition, Hairun has a research and development department. With the technology, how could they not be able to manufacture it?

Lin Ziyan pondered for a moment, "We can't make all the money. If we want the market to form an industrial chain, we have to share the pie with everyone."

"Only when everyone makes money can they invest in research and development. A monopoly will only lead to self-destruction, and Katie is a prime example."

Fatty and Sister Fang exchanged a knowing glance.

Kati's technology is top-notch, but the market doesn't accept it.

They absorbed all the profits themselves, which naturally prevented them from reducing costs, ultimately harming themselves.

Lin Ziyan had no idea before that these were lessons learned from her father's blood and tears.

Although she did not take over her father's business, she would listen to her father's analysis of the group's development.

The consequence of having a monopoly is that you have to develop everything yourself.

In the end, he dragged himself down without even realizing it.

"Ayan, if we distribute the parts, we can concentrate our funds on developing core technologies." Sister Fang clasped her hands together, convinced.

The chubby girl was still confused, but she felt that it was a good thing that everyone could make money this way.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the time and suddenly stood up. "Let's go to the door and meet Katie's people."

"Guests are always welcome."

Fatty and Sister Fang smiled and nodded, then got up and walked out of the meeting room together.

And at this moment.

Kuller and Corliss had arrived at the entrance of the electrical factory.

They looked at the gold-embossed words, exchanged a glance, and were surprised that Hairun was just a factory.

"President, have we chosen the wrong partner?" Chris hesitated, his steps faltering.

Can such an electronics factory really bring Katie back to life?

He expressed doubt and even deep disappointment.

Kuller saw the three people coming out of the factory and murmured,

"Whether it's right or wrong, we'll find out soon enough."
