"Will you train me or send people directly?" Xing Baohua asked.
“The training period is too long. I’ll try to submit a report and send some people over there to conduct reconnaissance while I help you select people from the guards for training,” Captain Han said.
The yacht circled Hong Kong Island twice before returning to the pier close to midnight.
Without exchanging pleasantries, the two groups parted ways.
Not far from the dock, there was a pile of containers. At the highest point of the containers, a figure watched the departing convoy before getting up and sliding down the iron bolt on the container door.
I got into my car and drove a short distance from the dock to a public phone booth. After making a call, I tapped rhythmically on the receiver with my finger.
However, as soon as he finished tapping the receiver and stepped out of the phone booth, he felt a dark shadow rushing towards his head with lightning speed.
With a muffled thud, the man slowly collapsed to the ground.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; there's no way around it, Hong Kong hasn't been peaceful lately.
Xing Baohua was always very careful when he went out. To avoid being followed, his guards would follow him in shifts, keeping a distance between them.
This time was no different; the sentries, both visible and hidden, were deployed in layers. Just as the hidden sentry was preparing to withdraw, he spotted the figure, quietly crept up, and struck him on the head with a club.
After receiving the news, Xing Baohua sighed that it was always better to be cautious, and now he had reaped the rewards.
He still said the same thing: leave professional matters to professionals. While Captain Han is still here, move the people over there.
The next day, Xing Baohua met with Director Min at the headquarters of Hainan. The man arrived very quickly, so quickly that Xing Baohua found it unbelievable.
Xie Yingying poured water for the staff in the office, then sat down and took out her notebook to record the conversation.
It's still the trio: Director Min, Section Chief Wang, and Section Chief Gao.
Section Chief Gao looked at Xie Yingying with a kind expression, as if he was very pleased.
Xing Baohua was short on time, mainly because he hadn't expected the other party to arrive so quickly, which caused a change in his schedule. To make a long story short, he first settled on the topic with Director Min and the others.
"Regarding the share allocation, the Shanghai Stock Exchange needs to come up with an opinion. Currently, there are three Chinese entities and four foreign research institutions contributing technology shares. Additionally, a financial team from a desert country will also be joining."
"How should the remaining shares be allocated?" asked Section Chief Gao of the China Merchants Group.
"The equity pool will be allocated to highly skilled professionals and employees who have made significant contributions," Xing Baohua said.
He turned to Director Min and asked, "Did the design firm follow my instructions?"
"I've already conveyed the message. He said it will be ready in ten days, and he'll bring it to you then," Director Min said.
Xing Baohua shook his head slightly and said, "Let's put it in the temporary office area. The office area needs a huge exhibition hall. If that's not possible, we can build one temporarily. No need for brick and concrete, just a steel structure and some simple decoration."
"Aren't we rushing this project a bit too much?" Director Min noticed that Xing Baohua was pushing the project forward too quickly and felt things weren't going smoothly, so he offered a word of advice.
It is indeed a bit rushed. Which big project doesn't take several years, especially the preparation? Xing Baohua's project is different. It only took a few months from conception to implementation.
There are some things that can't be said. The rapid progress is also to buy time; building a factory will take three to five years. At that time, things can change in an instant, and no one knows what will happen.
Xing Baohua kept calculating in his mind. No matter how he calculated, it was stuck at a critical juncture. When things really changed, he would not only have a factory but also not many people, and his equipment would be stuck outside and unable to come in.
An investment of over 10 billion yuan can easily appear as a waste of money.
At that time, companies like Motorola, IBM, and Philips will jump out and withdraw their investments.
Withdrawing investment is a good thing, not withdrawing investment is also a good thing; in short, Xing Baohua will not suffer any losses.
When the foreign capital withdrew, he bought up all of their shares. Of course, Xing Baohua wouldn't pay for the shares, since it was a technology-based investment. Although it brought some capital, he would only return some cash at most.
By clearing out all foreign investment, Xing Baohua could openly use the technology blockade and other means to develop his own equipment and produce chips.
Let them lock down for nothing.
If foreign capital doesn't withdraw, that would be even better. Xing Baohua can continue to conceal his strength and use this opportunity to cultivate his own technical talent.
In short, no matter how he plays, he won't lose out.
But now there are many things that cannot be said or spoken.
He could only silently endure all of this, using his influence to speed things up, purchase the equipment, and swindle foreign technical personnel.
I discussed the work process in detail with Director Min and the other two, to see how many departments they could coordinate and how long it would take to fence off the site.
Xing Baohua invited people to visit the site, thus facilitating the signing of a preliminary cooperation agreement for the wafer fab.
The factory acquired land, and construction, equipment transportation, and talent recruitment all proceeded simultaneously. All of this started at the same time.
This might speed things up a bit.
After the discussions, Xing Baohua asked Xie Yingying to escort Director Min and his group to the hotel. He planned to introduce them to some of the powerful shareholders of Huahong Group the following day.
It's also a good opportunity to see if any of these shareholder families are interested in developing their businesses in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Several of the shareholders are involved in real estate development, and the Jiangdong area of Shanghai welcomes real estate developers.
After parting ways with Director Min and others, Xing Baohua went to the security office.
I mainly came to check on the progress here and ask the two superconducting experts if they had discovered anything of value.
The two experts didn't mention reporting on him behind his back. They calmly gave Xing Baohua some materials to look at.
