82: Mr. Ku surrenders, will Suihuo Technology retaliate?

…A week passed.

During this week, Lu Xingye secretly had Jarvis register an offshore Foundation.

The Foundation’s name was: Suihuo Foundation.

However.

The Foundation currently had no members.

Because Lu Xingye had not yet obtained the Longevity Drug that interested the wealthy, the plan to bind the rich had not officially launched.

Registering the Foundation now was just an early preparation.

Lu Xingye estimated that the Foundation would not officially begin operations until he became the richest man in the country.

Within this week.

Lu Xingye had been staying in the lab researching robots; the intelligent crystal core for the robots had now been successfully produced and developed.

The crystal core was a 2nm crystal core produced using an improved lithography machine.

Only the robot’s power source was missing.

Then it could be assembled into a complete robot.

At the same time.

Suihuo Technology also began to dominate the North American market, leveraging the excellence of the Kunlun System and the revolutionary Nano Battery.

Liu Jinhai, the head of the North American market, secured orders worth 20 billion from foreigners within a single week.

This phased victory was incredibly inspiring.

All employees within Suihuo Technology were celebrating, smiling, and everything presented a thriving state.

On the other side.

Mr. Ku of Fruit Company watched Suihuo Technology dominate his home market, and his face was almost green with envy.

As expected.

Fruit Mobile’s market share in North America had dropped again, and the decline was significant, reaching 6%.

This was unprecedented in Fruit Company’s history.

As market share declined, Fruit Company’s stock also continued to fall.

Misfortunes never come singly.

Now Fruit Company’s stock had fallen another 2%.

Its employees, watching Fruit Company decline, all had grim expressions.

Or rather, their faces were clouded with gloom.

Especially since there were rumors in the market that Suihuo Technology was going to enter the mobile phone industry, which made them even more afraid.

Fruit Company had met its nemesis in Suihuo Technology.

In the business world, they had never won against it.

If Suihuo Technology really entered the mobile phone industry, would there still be a way out for Fruit Company?

...The topic of discussion among Fruit Company employees had shifted from how much Fruit Mobile sales increased daily to how much sales decreased now.

They all prayed that Fruit Company’s stock could stabilize.

In this environment, more and more people questioned Mr. Ku’s decisions, and some even openly declared that if Mr. Ku was incompetent, he should step down and let someone more capable become CEO.

Mr. Ku faced increasing pressure.

Until today, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure and decided to have a good talk with Suihuo Technology to see if Fruit Company could obtain authorization for the Nano Battery.

He flew directly from the United States to Modu.

Then Mr. Ku immediately took a special car to Suihuo Technology headquarters without stopping.

However.

He had no complaints whatsoever.

To yield, one must act like it.

Mr. Ku was prepared to be ridiculed by the other party; he opened the car door, and the light outside was a bit dazzling.

Mr. Ku couldn't help but squint his eyes, then he looked up at the office building ahead.

This was a towering office building that reached into the clouds.

Although Suihuo Technology also rented its office space, it had now rented an entire building, showcasing Suihuo Technology’s powerful strength.

And… he heard that Suihuo Technology’s headquarters base, “The Hive,” was under construction, costing over 50 billion, which was definitely a world-class building… He didn’t know why, but at this moment, Mr. Ku actually felt that the Suihuo Technology headquarters building was somewhat grand.

As the CEO of Fruit Company, having been in the business world for decades, he had never looked up to any company.

He didn't expect that at this moment, he would have to look up to Suihuo Technology.

Mr. Ku’s life had never been so disheveled.

"Boss!"

"That's Suihuo Technology's headquarters building ahead. Let's go in."

His secretary, Eve, held an umbrella and stood beside Mr. Ku, the dark-colored parasol covering Mr. Ku's vision.

Mr. Ku was slightly startled, then he came back to his senses. Immediately after, he said faintly,

"Let's go."

He then led the way towards Suihuo Technology headquarters. He just didn't know why, but he, who wasn't too old originally, now walked with some difficulty.

Entering Suihuo Technology headquarters, what greeted his eyes was a pair of twin sisters, followed by Suihuo Technology’s grand and upscale reception desk.

The twin sisters were the receptionists at the front desk.

After Mr. Ku explained his purpose to them, he sat in the nearby waiting room… At the same time.

Ring, ring, ring… In the general manager’s office, the phone rang.

At this moment.

Zhao Dawei was reviewing documents and was interrupted by the phone ringing; he couldn't help but frown.

Who could it be?

Why is someone calling me at this time?

Zhao Dawei hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone.

When he heard the content of the call, Zhao Dawei’s eyes brightened several shades, as if he had heard something amusing.

A moment later.

Zhao Dawei hung up the phone, his face full of smiles.

Mr. Ku of Fruit Company had actually come to visit him.

Hehehe!

Are you preparing to bow down to Suihuo Technology?

Mr. Ku! Oh, Mr. Ku!

I didn't expect your lifelong reputation to still be ruined by Suihuo Technology.

No.

It was ruined by Fourth Brother.

The Kunlun System and the Nano Battery were both invented by Fourth Brother.

Zhao Dawei felt that he couldn't enjoy such a happy event alone.

It’s better to share joy than to enjoy it alone.

He operated his phone twice with his right hand and dialed Lu Xingye’s number… As soon as Lu Xingye answered the phone, Zhao Dawei couldn't wait to burst out laughing.

"Fourth Brother."

"I encountered something incredibly happy today."

"Guess what it is?"

"Guess if I'll guess?" Lu Xingye looked at Zhao Dawei, a row of small white teeth showing in his mouth, looking a bit comical.

"I guess you'll guess…"

"…"

"Alright, you don't need to say it. I already know."

When Zhao Dawei was playing coy just now, Jarvis had already sent over the video of Mr. Ku's visit. So, Lu Xingye now knew what had happened.

"You know???" Zhao Dawei's smile stopped abruptly… This wasn't funny at all.

"Impossible."

"You're not at the company, how could you know what happened?" Zhao Dawei then added.

"It's Mr. Ku of Fruit Company who visited, right?" Lu Xingye chuckled dryly.

"This…"

"Alright!"

"Fourth Brother, you have no sense of humor at all."

"And you're clearly not at the company, so how do you know everything?" Zhao Dawei said uninterestingly.

"Of course."

"Otherwise, why am I the boss and you're the employee?" Lu Xingye smiled mysteriously… Zhao Dawei was silent for a moment and didn't continue joking with Lu Xingye; this person had no sense of humor.

He directly stated the purpose of his call.

"Mr. Ku of Fruit Company is in our building. Do you want to meet him together?"

"No. You talk to him yourself!"

"Just remember what Fruit Company once did to us." Lu Xingye shook his head.

The once unattainable Fruit Company was now, in Lu Xingye's eyes, nothing more than that.

He had even long stopped considering Fruit Company an opponent.

Now, researching robots and obtaining military production licenses was Lu Xingye's top priority.

However.

These words, falling into Zhao Dawei’s ears, were not interpreted that way.

Originally, Lu Xingye's intention was that as long as Zhao Dawei remembered what Fruit Company had done to Suihuo Technology, other things could be discussed freely.

He no longer considered Fruit Company an opponent.

But~

When these words fell into Zhao Dawei's ears, the meaning changed.

Don't forget what Fruit Company did to us?

Fourth Brother wants an eye for an eye, blood for blood!

Then I know what to do.
