The next morning, when they ate together, Xing Baohua didn't notice anything awkward about Xiao Tian.
As the saying goes, as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.
The only person present who could feel distressed was Geng Rui.
Although her face was flushed and her eyes were shy, she would occasionally glance at Xiao Tianna or Xing Baohua.
Jin Xin, who had come to eat with them, also advised the two to have some sea cucumber porridge.
Eating sea cucumber so early in the morning? Nobody else in the world does that.
Sea cucumber congee, braised sea cucumber slices with scallions. How luxurious!
Jin Xin got this stuff. After eating it so many times, it got a bit cloying. To save himself some, Xing Baohua put some sea cucumber in the three people's bowls so they could eat more.
When it was given to Jin Xin, this girl shook her head and said no, no.
"Silly! These are great antioxidant foods; they're said to lock in youth and reduce wrinkles and such."
"Really? Who told you that?!"
"That's what the health experts said."
No sooner had Xing Baohua finished speaking than Xiao Tian interrupted, asking, "You actually believe that? Isn't it supposed to boost immunity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden pain in his calf. He quickly bent over and rubbed it. When he looked up at Geng Rui, his girlfriend had already lowered her head, her face flushed, and she glared at Xiao Tian.
Startled, Xiao Tian didn't dare to say anything more, and ate his meal in silence, even eating more sea cucumber to boost his immunity.
Seeing that Xing Baohua had finished eating, Jin Xin followed her away, saying as he trailed behind, "I still don't believe it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be great to use sea cucumbers to make cosmetics?"
"..."
Xing Baohua was speechless and too lazy to pay attention. He raised his hand to check the time; there were still about forty minutes before the stock market opened.
After breakfast, the traders, except for those who had tasks and were already in place preparing, gathered together to chat or smoke.
Just before the stock market opened, Xie Yingying called and told Xing Baohua, the president of ATT, that she still wanted to talk to him.
Perhaps the other party thought that Xing Baohua would still refuse, so they offered a huge order, wanting a customized rice processing machine.
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua understood that the other party had already implemented a "bundling and matchmaking" scheme.
Signing up clients with two-year contracts is a way to poach client resources.
If they can't compete, they'll just give away the phones. After all, they're a listed company, so they can use the funds raised from the stock market to make up for it, and then use their customer base to feed back into the stock market, showing people long-term benefits.
This is a virtuous cycle, a way to gradually accumulate customers.
Rice doesn't sign contracts with them for phones; other phone manufacturers are cooperating with them.
Operators are also distributors, and the largest ones at that. Of course, they also pressure for lower prices, payment methods, and so on. The most infuriating thing is that the manufacturers have to handle the after-sales service.
ATT didn't make the collaboration as simple as it sounds!
As the world's largest telecommunications company, with branches in several countries, and on a massive scale at that, Xing Baohua would have been overjoyed if they had helped him sell mobile phones in the past.
But now, I no longer have that passion or interest.
Opening a branch in Hong Kong is like slapping you in the face, then giving you a sweet treat, and then offering your face up again.
While it's true that some people are willing to throw away their dignity and do anything for money, that applies to others. Xing Baohua has money, face, and a temper, but he doesn't have many phones in stock.
Rice factories release their products according to existing distributors, and there is no excess inventory at all.
The flexibility in inventory is for emergency preparedness, allowing for the mobilization and replenishment of other gaps at any time. AT&T certainly needs a lot, so what will we give them?
Therefore, Xing Baohua preferred to put this deal on hold for now, showing that he wouldn't give a damn about it.
Actually, cooperating with these carriers is quite troublesome; they might ask you to modify the motherboard. Since it's a customized machine, you have to manufacture it according to their specifications.
How did DaMei manage to eavesdrop on everything? Look at all the companies involved! Aren't they all at the very top of the industry chain?
ATT was also the developer of the solution.
From beginning to end, this operator acted as both strategist and executor, not only playing a negative role itself but also dragging many other operators into the fray.
Basically, all the call content of anyone using their SIM card is stored on their server for a period of time.
In particular, the monitoring of key populations has greatly facilitated the use of NAS.
If Xing Baohua wants to become their supplier, he needs to modify the motherboard according to their requirements, just like when NAS asked him to add a small program to the system.
It's just that the software has been changed to hardware.
The software is easy to crack, but few people bother to disassemble the hardware. This means that even when you're not making a call, the microphone on your phone can hear what you're saying at any time.
Why did the first African American president in the United States favor Blackberry? Did he really think Blackberry was that good? Its advantage lies in its top priority of security.
Xing Baohua didn't know whether BlackBerry was safe or not, but he had used several models and they were indeed terrible.
Especially back then, Nokia released the 5320, which was hailed as the world's best smartphone. At that time, Nokia was still around, and there were other brands like Motorola's RAZR series, HTC, Google, and Microsoft.
But then again, there were so many systems back then!
Although Nokia's Symbian technology has declined, Sony Ericsson still uses it, and Samsung also uses it in several of its phones.
HTC initially allied with Microsoft's mobile division, and later joined Google as well.
Google also had its own mobile phones at the time, but unfortunately it gave up the mobile phone business and focused on developing its operating system.
BlackBerry was widely considered the best operating system at the time; it was good, but it was just terrible.
When Xing Baohua used the 5320, it was a grey market import he obtained from Hong Kong at a high price. The key issue was that it couldn't be obtained through legitimate channels; there are very few domestic manufacturers that specialize in this brand.
