Zhang Taoming's harsh words slightly displeased Liu Haibo. He might be able to deal with ordinary people, but was Xing Baohua an ordinary person? If he hadn't spoken with Xing Baohua once and had some understanding of him, he too would have had the same thoughts as Zhang Taoming.
Xing Baohua laid out his plans directly, telling you in a grand and straightforward manner what he was going to do, and that if you didn't do it, someone else would follow him.
Why is the machinery factory praising him so much? Factory director Li Haomin is a shrewd and calculating man in the city. How could he be so blind as to judge people?
Liu Haibo said to Zhang Taoming, "You can't say these things anymore, especially don't even think about having any ulterior motives towards Xing Baohua. Xing Baohua's matter isn't a one-off deal; if we want it to last, we have to be sincere."
"But we can't trust him too much, can we? I think we should keep a tight grip on him when he's just starting out. What if he grows and becomes powerful? How will we control him then? What if he feels we've become an obstacle and kicks us aside?" Zhang Taoming countered with a question.
“What you said makes sense, but we all need to be honest and cooperate sincerely. Just like you and Changjie, we can’t treat him like an outsider. As long as we have a brotherly bond, we can maintain this relationship,” Liu Haibo said.
"Come on, brotherhood in the face of money? Even your own father might not care. The three of us grew up together. When I was a kid, if someone bullied me, you and Changjie would grab bricks and sticks and rush over without saying a word. The bond between the three of us can't be measured by money. What is Xing Baohua compared to us?" Zhang Taoming said, straightening his posture.
"Do you remember the girl who was with Xing Baohua at the last meal?"
“Of course I did. If Changjie hadn’t said we played together in his grandfather’s yard when we were kids, I would have tried to flirt with him. Changjie didn’t even mention what his family does. Have you looked into it?” Zhang Taoming asked.
"I only found out about this in the last few days, and it turns out the girl's family is quite extraordinary! She and Xing Baohua are friends, but not just ordinary friends," Liu Haibo explained.
"Are they dating? If so, well, let's ask Changjie?" Zhang Taoming said after a moment's thought.
"Ask him, it's no use. He probably hasn't even cared about it. Does he think he can see what's on the ground with just a flick of his chin? I asked a friend from the old machinery factory, and the two of them eat in the canteen every day, inseparable. That means they're developing a romantic relationship," Liu Haibo said.
"So what if it's developing? Does it have to affect us?" Zhang Taoming said, pursing his lips.
"That girl has a younger uncle named Geng Wenxin," Liu Haibo continued his explanation, then looked at Zhang Haitao, whose face held a disdainful expression, and added, "Do you remember him?"
Zhang Haitao tilted his head back as if going through the names of people he knew in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't remember them. What did they do?"
"He's inside, he'll be out soon. Do you remember the case from two years ago where they resold supplies?"
"You mean... Yan Song's matter? Didn't we analyze it back then? That doesn't make sense!"
Liu Haibo said softly, "What's wrong with that? Geng Wenxin and Yan Song are as close as the three of us, incredibly inseparable. Back when Yan Song was in power, he was a leader! He had so many men under him!"
Zhang Taoming, the chubby boy, frowned deeply and said, "Their fathers were sent to do manual labor back then, but later they were reinstated and returned to important positions. Yan Song's father is a high-ranking official! Because of this, Yan Song has kept a low profile. Didn't Yan Song's father just get transferred to a higher position last year?"
Liu Haibo nodded and continued his analysis: "Yes! That's a step further. Yan Song isn't doing badly in SD either. Besides, Geng Wenxin was Yan Song's protector back then. With ZY and brotherhood, Geng Wenxin is practically Yan Song's brother."
Zhang Taoming nodded, as if he understood something, and said, "Are you afraid that Xing Baohua will use that girl's connection to get involved in this relationship?"
"That makes sense. That kid is too much of a troublemaker; he'll climb up even a pole. Once he catches Yan Song's eye, what chance do we have? So, it's okay to not understand some things, but once you delve deeper, they can be quite intimidating."
“You’re right. So how should we divide the profits from this partnership?” Zhang Taoming asked.
"When Changjie comes back, let's talk to Xing Baohua together and see how much he can sell it to us for."
"Still buying?" Zhang Taoming seemed to have forgotten what Liu Haibo had said earlier, about a shortfall of around 150,000 to 200,000.
"What are you thinking? If we don't buy, can we still give a gift? Let's pool together 200,000 yuan." Liu Haibo said, and then repeated to Zhang Taoming the story of how he and Sun Changjie planned to rip off small businesses.
Time flew by, and the three tasks were being carried out simultaneously.
At the straw rope factory in Shangguzhuang, Liu Haibo and others sought business loans. Meanwhile, Xing Baohua organized employee training at the factory.
The training was divided into two parts. One part involved practicing soldering motherboard components in the workshop, and the other part involved converting a computer room into a chip workshop, which essentially involved writing programs into chips in large quantities.
Liu Quan was responsible for training workers on tasks such as soldering circuit boards. Xing Baohua personally led three highly educated workers to oversee the chip section, which was a crucial area and could not be neglected.
The program code is printed out, and they have to memorize it. In case the computer crashes or the floppy disk malfunctions, they can compare it with the printed program code to avoid errors.
The initial phase is tedious, but once it's actually online, it becomes simple. It's nothing more than entering commands, pressing Enter a few times, and using the arrow keys to press Enter a few more times—it's that simple.
When Director Li saw that Xing Baohua had printed out the program, which meant that the core technology had been handed over, he was in a great mood.
During this period, Xing Baohua also received five or six royalties. Articles he had written while he was doing nothing were published again. The royalties were still the same amounts—not much, not little, just enough for an average person's food and drink for a month.
