We need to inform the higher-ups about this matter in advance so that we can make preparations. Also, the lithography factory in our hometown needs to be separated; domestically produced machines and imported machines cannot be combined into one.
If Xing Baohua can send people to plant spies, why can't others?
It's best to be careful during this period.
After settling Zhao Shanhai in for a rest, Xing Baohua made a phone call to the senior executives to arrange their work.
Call the airport to ask for a return trip.
I arrived in the capital late at night and checked into a hotel near the airport. In the morning, I went to see Xu Si and borrowed his secure phone to report to Director Xue, who was at the top, that I had an urgent matter to discuss in person and hoped that a meeting could be arranged as soon as possible.
The meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, and Director Xue set aside half an hour to meet with Xing Baohua.
He explained in detail how the Japanese tried to lure the Americans to conduct an investigation on our side. Director Xue also gave a cold snort.
But then the conversation shifted, and he asked Xing Baohua, "I mean, if the other party comes to investigate, can you guarantee that there won't be any mistakes?"
"Yes! At worst, we can relocate the equipment and delay production for a few months. I think it's better to just push back," Xing Baohua said.
"In principle, we won't intervene in company-to-company disputes unless they follow proper procedures and apply domestic laws to sue your company for infringing on their interests in your local court. Once the local authorities initiate an investigation, no one can stop them."
"But if we go through external channels, it will escalate the situation. You need to be prepared for both possibilities. What if we take a very firm stance and they won't let you sell the goods?" Director Xue said.
"It is indeed a troublesome matter. We'll take it one step at a time. I'll also spend more money to hire a lobbying team to try and see what happens. I invested in the Oilfield campaign a while ago. If he succeeds, I'll still have some hope. The worst-case scenario is that we'll concentrate on developing our own chips," Xing Baohua nodded and said.
"Okay, if anything happens, call the Foreign Affairs Secretariat first, and I'll make arrangements. You can reach me in an emergency." With that, Director Xue gave Xing Baohua a contact number and a name.
This should be the designated contact person.
It's hard to meet with big shots; they're busy with work too. Anyway, Xing Baohua has at least reported it, so if it really comes down to a power struggle between nations, he'll have his backing.
After leaving Director Xue's office, I returned to Director Xu's office at the Ministry of Electronics Industry and waited for him to finish get off work so we could have lunch together.
When the drinks were served, Xu Si waved his hand and said he didn't want to drink, as he had work to do in the afternoon.
They didn't talk much about work. Just before they finished eating, he mentioned that one of his close classmates had been transferred to Guizhou Province, a place with many mountains, much like Guangxi Province, which is known for its vast mountain ranges.
There's no real pillar industry, so we're hoping Xing Baohua can help with setting up branch factories and such. Here's Xing Baohua's contact information.
Xing Baohua put it away, saying he would try to visit her when he had some time recently.
After finishing my meal, I took a car to the vicinity of Suya's school and sent her a message asking when get out of class would end.
Half an hour later, Su Ya replied, saying she would be out around five o'clock. She also mentioned that her advisor wanted to see Xing Baohua and asked him to make the arrangements.
While waiting for Su Ya, Xing Baohua looked around at the restaurants. They were all small eateries. Well, he decided to just pick one and chat casually.
We still have to give Suya face.
It's estimated that her tutor already knew Xing Baohua's true identity. He was returning to the hotel to rest, which was a bit of a hassle, so he lay in the car waiting for Su Ya to finish class.
There was no one else around that evening, just the three of them. As for Su Ya's little follower, she didn't come along, probably because she didn't want to show up in front of her mentor.
The mentor's surname was Meng, and he looked like a very refined middle-aged or elderly man.
Perhaps he was slightly taken aback to see Xing Baohua so young, as he had always thought that Haina's senior executives should be much older.
"Where did Mr. Xing graduate from?" After the introductions, Professor Meng sat down first and asked Xing Baohua. In his opinion, Xing Baohua must have a high level of education or some extraordinary ability to control the financial movements of a company.
"I'm sorry, Professor Meng, I haven't graduated yet; I'm still studying at the University of Hong Kong!"
"..." What could Professor Meng say? He could only say "amazing."
They didn't ask Xing Baohua what position he held in the company, but instead asked about the US stock market crash, the details of Hainan's acquisition of Happy Water, and Columbia Pictures.
It's no exaggeration to say that I took out a small notebook to record what Xing Baohua said.
Xing Baohua sensed that the professor wanted to use one or two cases for research, so he explained the process in detail. He had handled this personally, and his explanation was much more detailed than Su Ya's ambiguous one.
There are also some unknown aspects to this, such as spending money to build connections, lobbying the team, and persuading Happy Water to sell Columbia Pictures, etc.
Buying shares of Happy Water was actually an attempt to put pressure on their headquarters, but Happy Water's valuation is too high, and with limited funds, it's impossible to budge them.
The only option left is to use another strategy to acquire film companies.
Coupled with the stock market crash at the time, the company needed a large amount of capital to expand, and a group of people lobbied them, which led to them acquiring more than half of Columbia Pictures' shares.
To become the absolute controlling shareholder.
After taking notes, Professor Meng asked Xing Baohua, "What precautions do you think we should take if we want to pilot a trading market in China?"
Xing Baohua put down his chopsticks, paused for a moment, and said, "We shouldn't follow the West's big-scale approach and adopt a unilateral model based on our current situation. We also need to regulate foreign investment and set a threshold."
Could you elaborate?
"To prevent Western capital from entering, they've been playing this game for a century. If they come and bully us newbies, it's like adults bullying children. So we need to take precautions. The game has rules, and we set those rules. How we play is up to us. We can't just jump on the bandwagon because others are doing well."
