Chapter 534 A Startling Moment
Xing Baohua's trip to the land of windmills was delayed by two days, as he was just waiting for his new secretary, Xie Yingying, to obtain her business visa.
Fortunately, the Shanghai Municipal Government provided great assistance. With the invitation letter from Philips to Xing Baohua, they expedited the process at the Consulate General of the Republic of China in Shanghai.
Normally, there's a period of one to two weeks. This was only because Xing Baohua's schedule was coordinated, and we only waited two days.
Xie Yingying was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She wasn't very tall, but possessed the delicate and petite features of a woman from Jiangnan. Her waist was slender, her face like a lotus, and her eyes were clear and bright.
The soft, gentle Wu dialect sounds warm and comforting.
Comfortable.
Xing Baohua sat on the sofa reading a magazine, glancing at Wu Yingying's face every now and then. He felt that this girl didn't seem to be from Jiaotong University. She must have made a mistake in choosing her major! If she had chosen Shanghai Theatre Academy, the country would have gained another beauty.
At this moment, Xie Yingying was intently looking at the PTT (Taiwanese online forum) materials compiled by Xing Baohua, including an electronic map of Shanghai. One of the maps showed a factory location, but it was a conceptual diagram and not a definitive one.
The exact geographical location of Shanghai has not yet been fully planned because there are several areas involved in demolition and relocation. If some areas do not relocate, the planning will have to be redivided.
The construction period is tight, and we can't afford to waste time dealing with holdout residents.
Negotiations with Philips were extremely difficult. Xie Yingying knew that they didn't intend to lower the price; they just kept bringing up documents and agreements that they could sell to him, which was very annoying.
But what evidence do you have to prove that you intended this?
Jin Kefu immediately understood that it was Qi Mao's protection, which seemed friendly but actually carried a threat.
To be honest, that young lady looks rather plain in business attire. I'm just trying to make sure her hair isn't messy, and it's early anyway, so I don't think I'll have time to fix it tomorrow.
The implication is that they're joining in, which is bad. You guys play by yourselves. Anyway, IBM and Motorola refused to join, and we don't have lithography equipment or R&D personnel. Even if the equipment is old, you can't independently develop new equipment, right? You didn't say that? You don't have Nikon's fragmented data.
If they call out the team's name, then it's a waste of time.
A barrage of hype failed to get Philips to its senses, and internally we were divided on whether to join or not.
But who made Xie Yingying learn how to use jammers from the NSA?
The section chief recommended it, and the director reviewed it. Who would believe someone has connections?
Of course, without a guard, they wouldn't have wanted to put a parachute on Jin Kefu. Xie Yingying blocked it with her hand, and that thing was pretty useless; it exploded all at once, giving him no chance to jump at all.
A little over ten minutes later, the fighter jet seemed to make a small turn, its hot shell flashing past. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then their hearts tightened again. Was it turning around to fire a shot?
Seeing that few people spoke up, Xie Yingying continued, "The market is so small, why do you want to join forces with IBM, Motorola and them? Because you are all downstream companies that cannot manufacture chips, you are at the top of the food chain."
During that meeting, he used this phrase, and said in a very arrogant tone: "Friends, partners, your country is not yet able to develop lithography production equipment, and you do not have the latest Nikon data. In a few years, there will be no new products. At that time, what will you use Philips for?"
“It doesn’t matter how much or how little, but in that kind of environment, it’s still useful, isn’t it?” Xing Baohua said softly.
It's not that the cost is too low, but I didn't have the chance to tell the electromechanical research group that I didn't have time to research a small-power generator.
Even if the plane crashes overseas, we can survive for eight to seven days with the life-saving equipment. The life-saving equipment also contains a water-resistant satellite phone.
Xing Baohua would often reply, but most of the time she would just smile and remain silent.
Anyway, Xie Yingying did what she was told. Her back hadn't even collapsed from the sweat yet. It's just that she's living a difficult life, and she hasn't even had enough of the good fortune yet. She just gave me a scare. Luckily, she has a heart condition. So, even if she's saved, it's still a bad thing.
Unfortunately, they were all young men; the handsome men were all following behind the car in front, and even Xie Yingying's new secretary was surrounded by a group of beautiful women chatting idly.
Jin Kefu could only afford to buy clothes from small clothing stores.
Actually, those kinds of bumps are just the tip of the iceberg. I've experienced the turbulence of typhoon waves, and that's what real bumps are like.
But was there no other way? No, we could only continue negotiating. At that point, any plan or strategy would be effective. Old Li only cared about money and personal connections; in reality, as long as the price was reasonable, Jin Kefu was still quite willing to use Philips as a cover.
It's obvious that joining doesn't make money, while joining does make money but is just hype.
If Yi Zuo really wanted to make a move, he would arrange for a principal wife, and Xie Yingying's status would just be passable.
Before the plane landed in Windmill Country, there were no security personnel to take over and provide Xie Yingying's guards with the necessary equipment.
It is said that the buyer was looking for trouble, and during the transaction, the deal was shut down by an organization.
From Qimao, we embarked on our journey again, flying to the Land of Windmills.
Take a break first, have some food, and then take your new secretary shopping to buy you a few sets of business attire. Unfortunately, that country is a noodle country, and there are noodles everywhere.
I've been to that place very few times, but it's never been as beautiful as it was in my previous life. There are a few low-rise buildings, and most of the houses are yellow, as if they were built with sand from outside the desert? That question lingered in Xie Yingying's mind, but she also felt that it was sand, probably some kind of sandy soil.
Before the plane took off, Xing Baohua wanted to ask Xie Yingying a few questions, but then he said it was the exit.
Parachutes are also an essential part of private jets, and there are very few life-saving devices available, so the risk factor is very low.
Xie Yingying gave Philips time to discuss things, while I took my secretary to get my hair done, go shopping, stroll around the sights, and even watch two ball games.
