"Are there many people visiting recently?" Yu You asked casually.
One of his subordinates quickly replied, "There are always people coming every now and then, and they are foreign guests. It's hard to refuse them, so we have to let them in. But they always order a car in the end."
"Show me the list."
Yu You asked someone to take out all recent orders from foreign guests.
Without exception, everyone ordered a car.
However, the types of cars ordered were very interesting. They ordered all the models produced by the factory, including motorcycles.
At this time, he quickly came to his senses and reported: "Someone wanted to buy the semi-finished women's motorcycle and electric car before."
“Sold?!”
"No, I asked the technicians, but they refused to sell it. They said it hasn't reached the standard yet and they won't let it be sold."
Yu You raised an eyebrow.
"Is there anything else unusual?"
As if a hole had been torn open, people began to speak out about the recent unusual events:
"Those foreign guests were filming with cameras, but the R&D department wasn't allowed in, so they probably couldn't capture any confidential information."
"Hey, foreigners aren't just those who look weird, right? The two guys who came back last time said they were from out of town, but they actually spoke something like an island language."
…
With a "click", Yu You closed the folder in his hand.
It seems that Anning Automobile Factory has made great progress, attracting so many people to come and learn from it.
But logically speaking, domestic cars still have a long way to go to catch up with foreign car technology, so why would they come to steal theirs?
"I'm going to come here first today and find someone to give the factory confidentiality training. We still need to take precautions against some things."
"From now on, we will not be visiting the main factory area in the name of safety. This is not the same as decades ago. Do you still think this is a concession? Regardless of whether you are a foreign guest or not, you will be kicked out."
"It's right that the R&D department doesn't let you in. From now on, all non-technical personnel will be refused entry to the R&D department."
After explaining some details, Yu You contacted Yu Weimin and Cao Xiu through space.
Cao Xiu let out a light exclamation.
"It's strange. Recently, many foreigners have come to the store to buy braised dishes. I thought they were just trying something new."
"You simply lack a strong sense of defense," Yu Weimin scoffed. "Even with our current national strength, foreign countries are still technologically advanced. They look down on us deep down. How could they come here just out of curiosity or a good appetite? They must have bad intentions."
"My seed base has always been strictly guarded against them."
"We haven't reached the point where foreign capital is entering in large numbers, but once they do, they've impacted many small and medium-sized domestic enterprises. I've long suspected they were planning ahead."
Yu You frowned when he heard this.
It turns out that real business wars are bloodless and murderous.
"I took a few photos, but I didn't see any technique. Where can I start?"
"Based on your factory layout, if a newspaper report says there's a flaw in your assembly line, and the cars you make are defective somewhere, guess what..."
"A crisis of confidence?"
"If your mother's braised food was copied by someone else, but they used a factory to make it, and although the taste was a little worse, the price was shockingly low, what would you say..."
"Draw down quality to fight price war?"
Yu Weimin's voice was slightly serious.
He was really not surprised by these methods.
Even many companies that competed with it back then fell due to inexplicable public opinion and seed disadvantages.
Sometimes, the excellent seeds that are cultivated with great difficulty are either stolen or rumored to be carcinogenic.
"There's such a big piece of the pie in the country. They used cheap means to open the country back then, and now they're just changing their methods and trying to repeat the same old tricks."
Cao Xiu and Yu You took the lesson seriously.
Yu You immediately said that the factory would hold several more training sessions and further refine the production process.
Instead of worrying all day about who might stab you, it is better to make yourself impeccable.
"Don't worry too much. It's not the critical moment yet. There's still time."
"Why haven't I heard from Yu Yuan recently? He hasn't sent any letters since he went abroad after the New Year."
Yu Weimin tried to change the subject, but it only made Cao Xiu more worried.
Not only did they not receive any news, but even Qin Zhiheng did not bring back any news.
Yu You's heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, based on her years of experience reading melodramatic novels, she knew something was bound to happen at this time.
"I'll go ask Qin Zhiheng."
Qin Zhiheng was chosen as the diplomatic spokesperson, so it was easy for him to get news from embassies abroad.
Yu You hurriedly exited the space and headed straight for Qin Zhiheng's office building.
It would have been fine if Yu Weimin hadn't mentioned it, as the moment he did, she became even more anxious.
It was the first time she went to Qin Zhiheng's workplace to find him.
"Who did you say is coming?"
Qin Zhiheng looked up at the guard in surprise, who spoke word by word:
"Your wife, Ms. Yu."
"Let her in." Qin Zhiheng put down his pen and stood up again. "Forget it, I'll go pick her up myself."
He walked so fast that even the guards could hardly keep up with him. He ran all the way and saw the person who was waiting at the gate at a glance.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Zhiheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat off Yu You's head. He then took her hand, which was ice-cold.
His expression became more serious.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yu Yuan, my parents haven't heard from him in a long time. Is there any way to contact him?"
Even though the country has increased its investment in base station projects, overseas calls are still difficult to make. To implement them, we can only rely on satellite auxiliary signals.
At the moment, it is simply a pipe dream.
Qin Zhiheng looked stern. He knew very well that Yu You was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason, so he held her hand tightly and took her back to the office.
He met many colleagues along the way, all of whom were curious about Yu's arrival.
You should know that Deputy Minister Qin is a well-known "husband" in the ministry. He avoids all banquets if he can avoid them, and is determined to go home and be with his wife.
This was Yu Youlai’s first time in the office building.
"Hey, is it about that little girl from last time?"
"It's probably 80% possible. Vice Minister Qin's family used to live in the countryside. I heard that he married his wife from the countryside as well. The countryside is so chaotic..."
"But I see that the child is so old, and Deputy Minister Qin doesn't seem like that kind of person, right?"
"We are all men. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who doesn't have some ulterior motives?"
Qin Zhiheng and Yu You had never expected that Fang Yingzi and her arrival one after another would attract so much attention.
The butterfly's wings fluttered slightly, sowing the seeds for the subsequent storm.
Right now, Yu You and Qin Zhiheng only have one important issue on their mind: how to contact Yu Yuan.
If the ministry were to look for him, it would be accusation of misusing public resources for personal gain, so Qin Zhiheng sent a telegram to the chief officer of the Chinese embassy in the United States in his personal name.
Three days later, the other party replied:
Lost contact, never returned.
