"What? You're living and eating at the company? Tell me the truth, have you been out fooling around?"
"Oh dear, what the hell? I'm really working overtime at the company."
"Don't lie to me. I just asked Xiao Wang from your department, and he said you weren't in the company. Tell me, where have you been gallivanting off to?"
"It's true, I've joined a secret company project. I can't reveal it now, but you'll find out when the time comes. And this secret project has a minimum bonus of one million!"
"One million?! Honey, I absolutely believe you. You focus on your work, I won't bother you anymore. Love you."
"I love you too."
After telling their families, these people decided to stay at the company and not go home!
Who cares about going home when it comes to a million dollars! Every second counts!
For the first time, these people felt that the saying "an inch of time is worth an inch of gold" from the book had come to life.
After leaving the Deji Building, Lei Jun asked Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, is it necessary for you to offer such a high bonus?"
"Of course it's necessary! Brother Jun, if Xiaomi can win the title of the world's number one foldable screen this time, then Xiaomi can be completely on par with Apple, and it will also be a great source of prestige for us in the official arena."
Moreover, this money is actually quite small. The price of the foldable phone isn't 1999; my initial price is...
"How much? More than ten thousand? Did I hear that right?"
"Yes, it costs over ten thousand. This foldable phone is mainly targeted at business elites and successful people."
"You mean, this is the third series of Xiaomi phones?"
"Well, we have Redmi for low-end phones, Xiaomi phones are our main product for mid-range phones, and I plan to name this high-end phone the Golden Rice phone."
"But won't we get criticized for setting the price so high?"
"That's why we need to use the title of world number one to promote our national prestige, so that everyone will recognize us from the bottom of their hearts."
"Wow, you even considered this. What if you don't become number one in the world?"
"If I don't get the world number one ranking, then I'll price it at 5999."
"Brother Lin, I'm impressed. You really know how to set prices."
After returning, Lei Jun also convened a meeting with senior executives from various departments of Xiaomi.
This meeting was for one thing only: all company resources should be prioritized for foldable screen phones. Anyone who dares to obstruct the demand for foldable screen phones will be sent straight to Xingchen Technology's legal department for a chat.
Upon hearing this, the senior executives couldn't help but shudder. Was it really that serious? Were they going straight to Star Technology's legal department for a chat?
Could anyone even drink that? Their hands would probably tremble so badly they'd be shaking uncontrollably.
However, the senior executives also learned a crucial point from Lei Jun's words: this world number one ranking is extremely important! It's not just about a single phone; it concerns the entire Xiaomi Technology company!
Because the last thing Lin Chen said to Lei Jun was...
"Brother Jun, if the world's first foldable screen phone is born at Xiaomi Technology, then your influence in the mobile phone industry can even be compared with that of Steve Jobs. Your name, Lei Jun, will definitely be recorded in the history of smartphones."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun's breathing quickened.
This is so tempting to a man that it's almost as enticing as having a separate page in a family tree.
To be honest, there is no shortage of rich people in any era, but how many of them are recorded in history?
Take modern times as an example.
Bill Gates is one example; Microsoft controls roughly 90% of the computers on Earth.
Steve Jobs is one example; the iPhone completely changed the entire mobile phone industry and ushered in the era of smartphones.
Other wealthy individuals, perhaps richer or more influential, may not necessarily have their names recorded in history books.
Because they are only good at making money, but there will definitely be people who are better at making money than them in the future.
Therefore, it's easy to imagine how excited Lei Jun was when he heard Lin Chen's words!
Meanwhile, the foldable screen phone task force is working tirelessly day and night.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen was invited for tea by Shanghai officials, and the person who called him was none other than the mayor's secretary.
Lin Chen quickly put down his work and took Zhang Yiming to the Shanghai government building.
When he arrived at the conference room, he found that he wasn't the only one there; there were also two old acquaintances and a big shot he wasn't very familiar with.
The two familiar faces are Jack Ma and Tony Ma.
Lin Chen also knew who the other one was: Li Yanhong from Baidu.
Lin Chen found his seat and sat down. Only Li Yanhong turned around and greeted Lin Chen.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Li Yanhong from Baidu. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Li, I've heard so much about you."
"Haha, you're too kind."
At that moment, the mayor of Shanghai walked in, and surprisingly, there was someone walking alongside him.
Wow, who is this big shot?
Lin Chen and the others looked at each other, indicating that they had never seen it before.
"Everyone is on time, hahaha."
The mayor smiled and said, "Never mind, I'll just say hello."
Then, the mayor added.
"This is Wang Tao, the Vice Minister of Commerce of the Imperial Court. Actually, it wasn't me who came to see you this time, but Minister Wang."
Minister Wang also said with a smile.
"Hehe, it was just a casual chat. I hope it didn't take up any of your valuable time."
"No, no, Minister Wang, please let me know if you need anything."
Lin Chen casually added a comment.
"Hehe, this must be General Manager Lin of Xingchen Technology. He's really young and promising."
"Minister Wang, you flatter me, hahaha."
Jack and Tony rolled their eyes together. "You're such a show-off."
Minister Wang continued.
"I've also heard about some of the grudges and grievances between you all. To be honest, they're more exciting than any movie, hahaha."
However, you are all pillars of our country, and your companies are very important to our nation.
So, I swallowed my pride and brought them all together, offering to act as a peacemaker and have everyone shake hands and make peace, how about that?
Lin Chen was the first to speak again.
"I have no objection; I completely agree with what Minister Wang said."
Jack and Tony rolled their eyes again. You always get the better deal, of course you don't have any complaints!
But at times like this, they can't voice their opinions, because that would make them seem petty, and these big shots wouldn't include them in their plans in the future.
“We have no objection; we completely agree with what Minister Wang said.”
Minister Wang smiled upon hearing this, but his expression quickly turned serious.
"Now that we've shaken hands and made peace, what I'm about to say requires everyone's cooperation. If anyone tries anything underhanded, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, the four of them straightened their posture a bit.
Minister Wang's next words immediately made the four of them sit up straight.
"Because this matter was assigned by the highest level."
