Chapter 292: Free publicity is useless
At ten o'clock sharp, the senior directors of Ruiming Group entered the meeting room one after another. Meng Anran sat in the main seat, his expression stern, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Qin Mu sat beside Meng Anran with a calm expression, and there was no trace of joking or ambiguity in the workplace.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've all heard about Wilt's recent actions," Meng Anran said straight to the point, bringing up the projection screen displaying Wilt's recent market strategy. "Not only are they attempting to collude with antitrust agencies to acquire our fifth-generation chip core technology at a low price, they're also using the media to spread rumors that Ruiming's chip technology poses security risks."
The directors were talking in low voices, their expressions solemn.
"Director An, Wilt is coming on strong this time. Should we consider temporarily slowing down the promotion of the 5S chip?" a director suggested cautiously.
Meng Anran's eyes were slightly cold. Before she could speak, Fang He sneered, "Slow down? Wouldn't that be exactly what Wilt wants? They just want to drag down Ruiming's market rhythm! I think, with our Ruiming's strength, we won't necessarily lose even if we go head-to-head with them!"
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang's words are rough but true."
With her words, the heavy atmosphere in the meeting room dissipated a lot, and everyone became lively as usual.
"You're right. We're the top chip company in the country, with the most professional R&D team. Our technology and quality are absolutely up to par. Rumors are just rumors after all. If he dares to spread them, we'll slap him in the face!"
"Of course we do! We represent the face of China's chip industry. How can we bow down to a foreign company?"
Meng Anran nodded, a relaxed smile in her voice: "The research and development of the 5S chip has entered the final stage. We can't retreat because of Wilt's suppression. On the contrary-"
She glanced at Qin Mu beside her, who understood immediately. He swiped his finger across the tablet and pulled up a data report: "Wilt's capital chain is tight recently. The reason they're so anxious to suppress Ruiming is because their new generation of chip research and development has encountered a technical bottleneck."
"So," Meng Anran continued, looking at Fang He with a smile, "following Director Fang's suggestion just now, we will abandon our defensive plan and launch a counterattack. Wilt wants to use the propaganda war to wear us down, so we will crush them with technology."
Fang He's eyes widened in surprise. "Director An, are you planning to... release the 5S chip ahead of schedule?"
Meng Anran nodded, and Qin Mu continued, "Right now, Wilt has bought a lot of media to spread rumors about Rui Ming, and someone is paying for advertising for us. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity."
The directors looked at each other in bewilderment. One worriedly said, "But our test data isn't complete yet. If we release it hastily, will it..."
"The test data is sufficient." Meng Anran interrupted them, his tone unquestionable: "The press conference is scheduled for next Tuesday. We must take advantage of this period of stagnation of Wilt's technological bottleneck to seize the market opportunity."
"Next Tuesday?" Fang He was puzzled. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "Director An, if I remember correctly, next Tuesday seems to be this season's industry summit, right?"
He just received the news this morning, maybe Meng Anran hasn't heard about it yet.
"Hmm?" Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly. She had indeed not received the date of the summit yet, but "Since it's on the same day, that's even better. It's free publicity, why not use it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had no objections and applauded, clamoring to completely overturn the situation in which Wilt Technology had monopolized China's technology industry for many years.
After the meeting, Meng Anran returned to her office and sat at her desk to continue processing the piled-up documents.
Qin Mu walked in slowly, silently took half of the unprocessed documents from the pile on her right, took out a black signing pen from the pen holder, and sat down on the sofa.
Meng Anran looked up at him and chuckled, "Chairman Yunduan is here to work for me?"
"Knowing how to help your girlfriend share the pressure is a compulsory course for every man." Qin Mu responded jokingly.
Then, the office fell into silence, with only the soft hum of the radiator as it ran.
Xiao Li came in with two cups of coffee. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but slow down his pace. He silently served the coffee and quietly retreated.
The moment the heavy wooden door closed, he held the tray and pursed his lips to suppress his excited smile.
Who understands! The boss’s love is so perfect!
Silently accompanying and actively sharing the burden, Mr. Qin definitely loves the boss truly!
Two people are in the same room, but they focus on their work without disturbing each other. This kind of companionship love is even better than ambiguous flirting!
It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that Xiao Li came in to remind the two of them that they realized it was time to get off work.
Qin Mu sorted out the documents he was responsible for. Except for two or three that really needed Meng Anran to review personally, the rest had been processed.
Meng Anran's progress was about the same. There were only three or four books left that she hadn't finished reading. She stuffed them into her bag and planned to deal with them on the way back.
"Take these away." She patted the pile of folders on her left that were hiding her figure and told Xiao Li, "Leave work today and deliver them to the various departments tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Li responded respectfully and went over to pick up the pile of documents. Seeing Meng Anran pick up her bag and prepare to leave, he quickly asked, "Mr. An, will you still be working as usual tomorrow?"
Meng Anran paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, come as usual. If there are any unexpected arrangements, please deliver the documents to me at Riverside No. 9 after get off work tomorrow night."
"Okay." Xiao Li responded quickly, "Take care, President An, and Director Qin. I wish you both a pleasant evening."
Meng Anran had just put her arm around Qin Mu's arm when she was stunned when she heard this. The two of them smiled at each other helplessly.
I wasn't going on a date tonight. I hadn't even had lunch to finish my work. My current schedule was to have a quick dinner, then get the medical equipment ready and pick up Lin Rencheng from the plane that evening.
After careful calculation, they found that they didn't have enough time, so they simply had some beef brisket noodles and then went to Beijing People's Hospital.
Qin Mu knew the hospital director, and after negotiating and completing the formalities in advance, he arranged a VIP ward on the top floor, the quietest and safest, for Lin Rencheng.
Meng Anran notified Lin Rencheng's wife and daughter, and sent a car to take them to the hospital to wait for Lin Rencheng to return.
The hour and minute hands on the hospital clock coincided at "12", and a group of people were waiting in the lobby on the top floor of the hospital.
When the minute hand passed "12", the roar of helicopter propellers came from far away, waking up the drowsy people.
