Chen Dong did not reveal that he knew anything about the Li family kidnapping case.
After all, he was only playing the role of a powerful financial figure and did not want to reveal his hostility towards Li Ka-shing or the methods he had used in the whole affair too early.
Although the game of capital is destined to be dirty, Chen Dong felt that some things were better left unexposed.
Therefore, his performance has always made his subordinates feel that he belongs to the ranks of geniuses, not gods; that he is someone they can catch up to, not someone like a god.
When everyone in the company saw Chen Dong return, they greeted him warmly and worked even harder.
Even those who have nothing to do pretend to be busy, for example, by taking out a folder and looking through its contents.
To be honest, there's really nothing worth reading in these documents.
Chen Dong watched their behavior and chuckled to himself, but said nothing.
Although they were idle and he wouldn't say anything, their actions at least showed respect for him, which could be considered an acceptable response.
In his previous life, Chen Dong had seen this kind of behavior from his subordinates quite often.
It can only be said that their performance is still too immature; they haven't mastered the ultimate level of slacking off at work.
The highest level is to be able to slack off without being noticed by the boss, and even receive praise instead.
He hadn't been here for a few days, and there were already quite a few documents waiting for his signature.
He finished them off in no time.
After all, as the leader of a large company, he was already familiar with this kind of work.
His past life's experience on Wall Street gave him a profound understanding of how to manage a company.
To put it bluntly, although the documents he's signing involve a considerable amount of money, he doesn't need to worry about most of them. He just needs to take a quick look and make sure there are no problems.
Because they had already undergone rigorous calculations by their subordinates.
However, some documents with relatively small amounts of money caught his attention.
Because he is more concerned with the profit margins and the human resources they require, such as attention.
Chen Dong roughly calculated that although the amounts involved were not large, the profit margins were relatively high, making it a good business.
Just then, the phone rang.
Upon seeing that it was Hayashi Honma from Taiwan calling, Chen Dong was immediately delighted, guessing it was good news!
The call connected...
"Mr. Chen, where are you now? Are you still at the Grand Hotel? I'd like to pay you a visit."
Chen Dong replied, "Oh, that might not be convenient. I'm already in Hong Kong. Yes, my flight is today."
"That's such a pity. I was hoping to get to know you better. By the way, I've already discussed it with my family and decided to join your team."
"Haha, you're very welcome. Rest assured, your choice will not disappoint you."
Good things are happening all at once!
First came the blow Li Ka-shing suffered, and then the even greater blow he will suffer next; now, there is the call from Lin Benjian.
With the addition of Hayashi Benjian, Longteng Semiconductor Company's strength was truly enhanced.
I believe that as long as he provides good equipment and continuously attracts talent, he can turn Longteng Semiconductor into a world-renowned company and compete with Intel.
It's important to know that Intel, as one of only two well-known chip manufacturers in the world, possesses formidable strength.
Now, with Hayashi Benjian joining the company, he will have more capital and, together with ASML, become a company that is on par with, or even surpasses, ASML.
Mastering this core technology means that China will have the foundation to reshape the chip industry, will no longer fear unreasonable external sanctions, and will be able to better develop its national industry and China's high-tech industry.
Lin Benjian was also very excited. He said to Chen Dong:
"I don't know if you have time these next couple of days, but I'll come over to you right away, sign the contract, and then discuss the follow-up cooperation."
Chen Dong was naturally very happy to agree; it's always better to start something sooner rather than later.
Every day seems the same now, but this is not the case for the development of high-tech industries.
At this point, starting implementation a day earlier could potentially allow us to gain more time in the future.
After all, competition is everywhere.
The saying "being one step ahead gives you the advantage" applies here.
Every small accumulation today may influence major historical processes in the future, bring huge benefits to one's industry, and bring more changes to the world.
The two then agreed to meet another day.
Chen Dong offered to arrange for someone to greet him.
After booking the tickets, Hayashi Honma would inform him of the relevant flight information.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong stood by the window, looking at the bustling street scene.
This bustling scene in Hong Kong is very similar to what Chen Dong saw in later generations.
This filled Chen Dong with a sense of pride and satisfaction.
It must be said that Hong Kong, as a mature international metropolis, has a full range of supporting facilities.
It is beneficial to one's own career development.
However, despite the various inconveniences still present in the mainland, it is also developing rapidly, making great strides every day.
To be honest, Hong Kong is indeed a great place to obtain funding and various kinds of information.
But that's all.
The mainland is where our roots truly lie.
Actually, I should focus my development on the mainland, because that's where my heart is truly concerned and where I'm willing to dedicate my efforts.
...
Meanwhile, rumors were slowly spreading throughout Hong Kong that someone from Li Ka-shing's family had been kidnapped.
Some tabloids also published emergency editions with the same content.
Just as Chen Dong was about to find his subordinates to arrange some matters, there was a knock on the door.
The one who came in was Xiang Huaqiang.
He walked briskly, carrying a stack of newspapers in his hand.
"Mr. Chen, big news!"
"Oh, what is it?" Chen Dong turned around and asked.
As Xiang Huaqiang spread the newspaper out in front of Chen Dong, he said, "The kidnapping of Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man. Look, these are some rumors."
"Oh, is that so? How likely is that?" Chen Dong asked, feigning ignorance and surprise.
Xiang Huasheng said with certainty, "Based on my experience, this is most likely true."
Chen Dong nodded, flipping through the newspapers.
These newspapers were crudely printed and all revolved around this issue.
The headline also uses the sensationalist style; UC's "Shocking News Department" was born early on:
Shocking! China's richest man kidnapped! Suspected internal family feud
"Shocking! The kidnapping of the century, with a ransom of one billion!"
"Li Ka-shing suffers a family tragedy! His brothers turn against him..."
Hong Kong police have taken a strong stance in the major kidnapping case.
Hong Kong police vow: We will rescue the hostages and subdue the kidnappers!
Meanwhile, many small radio stations are also constantly broadcasting news and providing real-time updates on the Li family kidnapping case.
However, their reports contained little substantive information and were mostly speculative.
