the next day.
Chen Dong set off from X City again, first taking a train to Mingzhu City, and then transferring to a plane to Guangzhou.
When he arrived in Shenzhen by bus from Guangzhou, it was already the afternoon of May 22nd.
These days, going out is extremely inconvenient, and it doesn't really matter whether you're rich or poor.
What wealthy people can enjoy is nothing more than a more spacious seat and better comfort, but that's about it.
Even when traveling by plane, after accounting for travel time, it's only about a day and a half faster than taking the train.
If you're not in a rush, a sleeper berth is much more comfortable.
Chen Dong exited the bus station.
Lin Zhiyuan and Hua Zi were already waiting for him at the exit.
"Brother Dong!"
"Dongzi!"
Chen Dong nodded to the two men, looked at Hua Zi, and said with a smile.
"Not bad, he looks more and more like a big boss!"
"Brother Dong, please stop making fun of me."
Upon hearing this, Hua Zi smiled sheepishly, unsure of how to respond.
Chen Dong's words were not meant to be derogatory.
After a month apart, both Lin Zhiyuan and Hua Zi had improved significantly in their demeanor.
In addition, the two men were dressed in suits, their hair was neatly combed, and they were holding mobile phones.
To put it bluntly, given their current attire, who would dare say otherwise?
Back in the car, it slowly drove towards the headquarters of Longteng Foreign Trade.
Along the way, there were high-rise buildings under construction.
It was only a little over a month since I left.
These changes outside seem to have occurred over several years.
"Brother-in-law, where's my sister? Mom said she came looking for you?"
"Yes, it was during the time you went to Russia."
Lin Zhiyuan nodded, a happy smile on his lips. It seemed that he was not only thriving in his career, but also deeply in love.
Seeing this, Chen Dong didn't ask any more questions. As long as his older sister was happy, that was all that mattered. He changed the subject and asked about the electronics factory.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan simply gave Chen Dong a detailed report right there in the car.
During this period, the two proceeded according to plan.
First, they poached many skilled workers from other electronics factories, and then, with the help of Mr. Huang from Hong Kong, they acquired a second-hand production line.
They have money, technology, and production lines...
As long as the products are produced and the price is right, there is no shortage of orders these days.
"Is this Mr. Huang you're talking about the one who helped us get the single-entry permit?"
"That's right, it's him!"
No sooner had Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking than Hua Zi interjected.
"Brother Dong, don't be fooled by how much help this Boss Huang has given you; he's ruthless."
Then, Hua Zi poured out his grievances, listing many of Boss Huang's 'crimes'.
In summary, it boils down to four words: businessmen pursue profit.
In Chen Dong's view, this was perfectly reasonable.
Which businessman isn't in it for the purpose of making money? Do you expect them to do charity?
The current situation is as follows.
Although Longteng Electronics is operating normally, it is not making much profit.
Simply put, it means processing products for Boss Huang and earning a meager processing fee.
Compared to other electronics factories that take orders and produce their own products, this approach is clearly inferior.
Chen Dong knew exactly what was going on as soon as he heard this, and he even knew more about it than the two of them.
However, one must take things one step at a time, just as one must eat one bite at a time.
Thinking of this, Chen Dong offered words of comfort.
"It's okay, if the profit is gone, it's gone. Just consider it a learning experience."
"Once we've accumulated enough experience, we can expand into this area of business."
to be honest.
Chen Dong didn't expect the electronics factory to bring him much profit.
He knew the direction of development for the next thirty years.
Electronic products is just a general term; it encompasses many sub-fields.
Semiconductors and chips are what he really wants to make.
However, without high-end equipment and talent in high-end fields, developing these projects is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Chen Dong was also dreaming, dreaming of a powerful China.
In his past life, he was merely a plaything in the hands of capital.
With over thirty years of experience, one might as well treat capital as a plaything.
"Brother-in-law, do you have Boss Huang's phone number?"
"If it's convenient, could you help me schedule a time with him? I'll contact Brother Li again."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Lin Zhiyuan didn't think too much about it; he simply couldn't fathom that Chen Dong had another purpose in inviting Boss Huang out.
"We can deal with this later. There's something urgent I need to tell you right now."
Speaking of this, Chen Dong also felt somewhat helpless, as he simply couldn't spare much time to deal with family matters.
These trivial matters could only be handled by Lin Zhiyuan.
“Brother-in-law, I’ve already talked to my parents about this trip, and they’ll be coming over at the end of next month.”
“I have some very important things to do in Hong Kong during this period, and I’m a bit short on time. So, my parents can only stay with you for the time being.”
"I will bring them over as soon as I have the time."
Looking back on the negotiations with Chen Xuelin, they did not go smoothly at first.
In the end, Chen Dong pulled out his trump card, and Chen Xuelin finally gave in.
Ultimately, all parents in the world are the same.
Everything is like a paper tiger when it comes to a child's future; it can be easily punctured.
"Dongzi, don't worry, your sister and I will take good care of Mom and Dad."
Chen Dong nodded and said nothing more.
