After listening to Wu Changfeng's words, County Chief Guo...
It seems there are personal grudges involved, but it's mostly driven by impulse.
County Chief Guo shook his head: "Changfeng, you can't act impulsively. This is fifty million, not the thirty million you agreed on with the county government."
"You're throwing out 50 million just out of spite. Even if you get support from Jiangcheng, if the trade city isn't run well, you'll still be the one who suffers the losses in the end."
Wu Changfeng knew that County Chief Guo was trying to persuade him: "I know."
County Chief Guo said again, "Let me guess, Lu Xingtao took all 50 million and gave Jiangcheng 20 points. Your side will also have at least 50 million. How much will you give? 30 points?"
"What if Lu Xingtao gives you 40 points? Would you increase your bet?"
"Will the final result be that it's given away for free?"
"This kind of betting doesn't align with your rationality, so why don't we just forget about it? Although the commercial city is located within Jiangcheng's territory, our Chishui County can still benefit from its advantages, can't we?"
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, leader, but I won't do that."
"What do you want to do?" County Chief Guo wanted to hear Wu Changfeng's thoughts.
Wu Changfeng smiled confidently and said, "I'll just make sure he can't start work."
"Huh?" County Chief Guo was startled: "You can't play dirty tricks, otherwise if you report it to the authorities, even Mayor Cui can't protect you, and the provincial leaders will also smear your reputation because of you."
Wu Changfeng said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person at all. Sometimes, being a local is an advantage for us."
"I assured the leadership that we would take a direct approach and drive out Lu Xingtao, this outsider."
County Chief Guo looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then said, "I didn't meet with you today, do you understand?"
Wu Changfeng nodded.
County Chief Guo then left without saying anything more.
Wu Changfeng stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
The fire in my chest still burns.
Lu Xingtao, Lu Xingtao, are you never going to let this go?
From the Beijing milk tea company to the takeover of the Wenzhou plastics factory, then to the electric toothbrush incident, and then to the Hexi Province incident.
This time they're interfering in the commercial city again.
Damn it, they really don't know what's good for them!
In fact, Wu Changfeng knew very well that Lu Xingtao was just a persistent nuisance.
If he hadn't found out that he was going to be involved in the development of the trading company, he definitely wouldn't have made a move; instead, he would have looked for other opportunities to play with him.
It was precisely because he wanted to do something that this guy came up to him.
They're really willing to spend money just to save face!
However, Wu Changfeng also respected his opponent, and presumably Lu Xingtao shared the same idea that investing in the commercial city would definitely not be a loss.
It can make money in the future and save face in the present—a win-win situation.
Wu Changfeng suddenly realized that this guy still had a brain; he knew that the businesses he was involved in were profitable, and that as long as he followed the trend, he would never make a strategic mistake.
However, he didn't have the technology himself, so he could only watch helplessly.
But commercial cities are different; they don't require technology, all you need is the ability to attract businesses.
Wu Changfeng smiled silently at the window.
This analysis shows that Lu Xingtao isn't a complete novice after all.
However, without him, Wu Changfeng really felt bored.
Wu Changfeng only had one move to deal with Lu Xingtao's attempt to steal the prize, and that one move was enough to make him wish he were dead.
Just you wait and see!
Wu Changfeng stubbed out his cigarette, his gaze resolute.
A few days later.
The day of departure for the Americans has arrived.
This time, Wu Changfeng contacted the Ministry of Commerce in advance and signed up to go with the group.
When the Ministry of Commerce heard that it was Wu Changfeng and that it was a private enterprise, its instinct was to refuse.
Although the leader spoke, the private economy is regarded as the same as the national economy.
But their mindset hasn't changed.
However, some people pointed out that Wu Changfeng was no ordinary person; he knew how to earn US dollars.
With just this one sentence, the Ministry of Commerce changed its attitude and told Wu Changfeng to prepare to travel with the group.
The plane departed from Beijing.
Before leaving, Wu Changfeng looked at the child and left contentedly.
This time, Huo Jiaqi was not the only one accompanying them; several recent graduates and experienced R&D personnel were also present.
He did not go directly to the capital, but instead went to Tianjin via Tianjin.
The lithography machine sent from the Netherlands has arrived.
Wu Changfeng took the opportunity to pick up the goods.
Upon arrival at the port, taxes were paid, and the container was retrieved.
The boxes were opened at the port, and everyone inspected them.
Not only was Wu Changfeng dumbfounded, but Huo Jiaqi and the others were also dumbfounded.
Two whole shipping containers.
It was crammed full of various parts.
Huo Jiaqi couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a lithography machine? Boss, isn't ASML going a bit too far?"
Others chimed in, "Why isn't it fully equipped?"
Wu Changfeng scratched his head: "Maybe it won't fit? No problem, we can assemble it ourselves."
Huo Jiaqi smacked his lips: "I'm afraid it will be difficult and will take time, since everyone is still at the theoretical level."
Liu Kai countered, "What's there to be afraid of? The older generation learned through trial and error. Isn't this the instruction manual? We just need to overcome any difficulties!"
Wu Changfeng expressed his agreement with Liu Kai.
The college student recruited by Huo Jiaqi performed quite well.
Wu Changfeng said, "That makes sense. We have plenty of time. If we haven't even assembled the internal structure ourselves, then we won't make any progress in scientific research."
"Combining hands-on experience with theory allows us to better understand the internal workings of a lithography machine, thus laying a solid foundation for further research and development."
"I suggest that we not only assemble them ourselves, but also disassemble them! Otherwise, when the lithography machine comes over, it will be a pile of scrap metal, and we will become a laughing stock in the semiconductor industry."
