At this point, the leader paused, his tone becoming even more sinister: "You know what kind of place this is. If anyone disobeys, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Hearing their leader say that, the people below all trembled.
"Boss, boss, you're just kidding. We'll do whatever you say."
“That’s right. The whole factory has more than 3,000 people. Our target isn’t much. Let’s get about a hundred people. If each person earns more than a thousand yuan, that’s a lot. Ten thousand yuan. Moreover, we don’t have to push them to the point of ruin. Let them learn a lesson so that they won’t cause trouble again in the future.”
This sets the tone.
Even the most elaborate schemes have different levels of complexity.
A sophisticated strategy will emphasize the extent to which it will be accomplished from the very beginning.
For example, should you stop when someone goes bankrupt, or should you take half of their assets to leave them a way out, or even go further and leave them heavily indebted, or even drive them to suicide? There are different approaches and methods for each.
This set the tone: once the cigarette was finished, they would stop, with no intention of going too far.
However, even so, the number of over 100,000 was enough to excite everyone present.
After instructing his men on what to do, the general dispersed.
There were only two people left in the room.
The tall figure standing behind him was none other than the Fire General.
After everyone had left.
Huo Jiang spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, as if he had processed his voice: "This group of people is no good."
“I know, but we had no choice. There aren’t many people left in the entire Thousand Gates. They’ve either been arrested or scattered. It’s just the two of us left. If this fortune hadn’t been so incredibly wealthy, I wouldn’t have come out.”
"You should know what the Great Luck represents. Do you really think we can get out of this mess?"
“If we leave them behind, we can get away. They were just low-ranking officials anyway, they don’t have much of a legacy. We’ve done this once, let’s find an opportunity to go south.”
"Alright..."
Both men spoke coldly, seemingly without any affection for those who had come to their aid.
Inside the factory,
Wang Shouren went to his research institute, which is now vastly different from what it was a year ago. He and the people in Wudaokou have brought over a lot of equipment, especially all kinds of machine tools. The people in Wudaokou are still researching things like lithography machines. Since there is someone who needs their chips, they are naturally willing to follow suit.
Although the quantity needed now is not large, it is still a kind of progress, isn't it?
These days, the comprador party is still in its infancy and has not yet appeared, so there is still time.
Old Zhuge looked at the iron frame in front of him with a broad smile, his eyes practically closing in a grin. Seeing Wang Shouren, his previous anger had vanished. He pointed at the iron frame and asked, "Have you tried it?"
Wang Shouren naturally knew what he meant by "tried".
"I've tried it, the performance is good, and the comfort is also good." Wang Shouren nodded.
"That's good. Remember to invest the money next year. You've made quite a bit of money, it's time to get me some equipment."
At this point, Wang Shouren did not answer immediately, but instead frowned slightly.
"What? You're not that stingy, are you? You can't even afford this little bit of equipment?"
"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but that I want to make it myself."
"Isn't that a bit too slow?" Professor Zhuge hesitated for a moment.
Actually, to say that these compradors were all that bad wouldn't be entirely true; only a minority of them were truly evil. Take the automotive industry, for example. It involves countless industries, and many things are simply not up to par. If it weren't for the Dayun factory, which received special treatment from higher authorities, many things would have been difficult to accomplish. Now that they want to get into the automotive business, they're far behind.
It would be a huge hassle if we had to manufacture everything ourselves.
It also takes a lot of time.
"Do you know what I'm thinking after I go there this time?"
"What?"
"On the other hand, a project with a budget of 17.8 billion USD dared to quote us 380 million USD. And after a year, not even counting labor costs, the whole process would only cost 30 million USD. There might be advantages in terms of location, and also the advantage of our cheap labor. But no matter what, a premium of 6 to 7 times is no problem."
At this point, Wang Shouren took a deep breath: "Our current profit is about the same, but what if one day our factory is discovered and they cut off the supplies we need? I'm never at ease until it's 100% domestically produced."
"You're being far too pessimistic about the future," Professor Zhuge said with a complicated expression.
Feng Xian and Song Qiao stood behind him and nodded in agreement.
They also felt that Wang Shouren was a bit pessimistic.
"The United States, in a sense, is not a country, but a country disguised as a corporation. As long as its core interests are not violated, it's fine, but once its core interests are violated, it will definitely take action. The main purpose of them establishing diplomatic relations with us is simply to reap the benefits."
“This is your political stance, and I have reservations. I think you shouldn’t imagine people to be so bad.”
Professor Zhuge once studied in the United States and his impression of the country wasn't too bad.
He didn't believe that such a developed country would do anything so heinous against China, but he wouldn't object to Wang Shouren's idea: "However, your idea is also a possibility. It's not bad to be prepared for the worst. It's just a matter of waiting a little longer. You have to think it through. Electronic control systems are not easy to handle. In a sense, the chip in your current system is still a foreign product."
Starting in the 1970s, cars began to use processors to control them.
Currently, there are no such talents in China.
"I'll solve it next year, let's use it for now." Wang Shouren waved his hand.
He simply told the professor his own position. As for sanctions, frankly, the US is too busy to deal with them right now. What they need is their vast pool of cheap domestic labor. If a high-tech company emerges from there, they might crack down on it, but not too much. After all, domestic labor is indeed cheap.
Therefore, he still has time, and he has also made preparations regarding talent. As long as this matter succeeds, there won't be too much of a problem with finding talent later on.
"Just keep it in mind."
