18: forced palace

“Haha.”

Hearing what the people said and seeing Huang Hua’s ashen face, Peng Ge’s mouth curved into a triumphant smile, and then he said with a laugh:

“Dawn powers Jinbao, Jinbao Crash-Resistant King!

The quality of Jinbao Mobile can withstand testing. This time, our workers have prepared a total of 300 Jinbao Durable King Mobile Phones. Everyone is welcome to come and purchase them.”

As Peng Ge finished speaking, people swarmed forward to buy the Jinbao Durable King Mobile Phone!

Seeing this scene, Huang Hua was naturally powerless to stop them. After a long while, he finally made a decision:

“Let’s go back first.”

Li Jie, who was beside him, heard these words and could only helplessly follow behind Huang Hua, silently leaving the area.

Seeing this, Peng Ge smiled with extreme happiness and triumph.

“It’s a pity that guy isn’t here, otherwise I’d have to let him know that the power of capital is irresistible!”

…

Just like that, time slowly passed. About half an hour later, Lin Chen, Ke Hanliang, and a group of core personnel all arrived here by car.

At this moment, seeing four or five people get out of the car and walk over, with Lin Chen clearly at the forefront, Peng Ge immediately showed a triumphant smile and walked up to them:

“Oh my, after more than ten days, you’ve gained a few more workers and even bought a broken second-hand car. Things really aren’t what they used to be.”

Although these words sounded like praise for Lin Chen, the disdain in his eyes made it clear to everyone that he was mocking Lin Chen.

“What a pity, what a pity you came too late. In this half hour, we’ve already sold 300 Jinbao Crash-Resistant Kings.

Moreover, my Jinbao Mobile factory can now produce 100 Jinbao Crash-Resistant Kings every day, and we are currently recruiting new employees to expand production. We expect to reach a daily output of 500 Jinbao Crash-Resistant Kings in at most half a month.

This daily output of 500 units is enough to fill Rongcheng and nearby urban areas, leaving you completely no possibility of survival!

Hahahahahahaha, regretting it now, aren’t you? Our Jinbao Mobile has already cracked your Chenguang Mobile Phone’s crash-resistant casing technology.

In the future, the world will only recognize our Jinbao Crash-Resistant King. Your Chenguang Mobile Phone is just a small brand, so you’ve already been eliminated!”

Speaking of this, Peng Ge burst into laughter again. He laughed with extreme smoothness, looking at Lin Chen with eyes full of disdain and triumph.

In response, Lin Chen’s two apprentices, Huang Hua and Chen Dong, naturally showed angry expressions, wishing they could beat Peng Ge up.

But besides their anger, they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness, because they couldn’t think of what to do next. What Peng Ge said was indeed true.

Regarding crash-resistant technology, judging by what Peng Ge said, the Jinbao Crash-Resistant King must be very crash-resistant.

Moreover, the Jinbao Durable King Mobile Phone’s appearance is also the same as the Chenguang Mobile Phone, so everyone also tacitly assumed that the Jinbao Durable King is as crash-resistant as the Chenguang Mobile Phone!

In this situation, the enemy was already rapidly putting into production and occupying the market, while they were still unable to quickly put into production because their employees had not completed training.

By the time the Chenguang Mobile Phone officially launched, the market would definitely no longer recognize any Chenguang Brand mobile phone; it would probably only recognize the Jinbao Crash-Resistant King!

And the most fatal thing was that Dawn Technology only had a mere 40-odd workers. Could this number of workers’ output compare to theirs?

How long would it take to truly expand production if they re-recruited workers? So, at this moment, Huang Hua and Chen Dong truly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

However, at this moment, Lin Chen patted the shoulders of the powerless Huang Hua and Chen Dong, then turned to look at Peng Ge and said seriously:

“Is that so? Then I wish you good luck.

I just hope you don’t fall too hard then, after all, expanding from a daily output of 100 units to 500 units, the number of employees recruited must have at least doubled or tripled.

If you go bankrupt by the Chenguang Mobile Phone then, that would truly be a laughingstock.”

“You!”

Hearing Lin Chen’s serious words, Peng Ge immediately became enraged, but in an instant, he showed a cold smile:

“Just the mad ravings of a dying struggle.”

When words don’t meet, even half a sentence is too much. The two sides parted unhappily.

However, on the way back in the car, Ke Hanliang, who had been silent, suddenly forced Lin Chen’s hand, causing Lin Chen’s eyebrows to furrow instantly:

“Brother Lin, I didn’t say anything when you recruited so many new hands before, but now that the Jinbao Crash-Resistant King is out, shouldn’t we speed up production?

And those two testing platforms you’re developing, it’s been almost a week, hasn’t it? Have they been successfully developed yet? Brother, I’m feeling a bit stressed right now!

How about this? Those new hands can be put on unpaid leave for now, only training without pay. If they don’t want to work, they can just resign. Let’s recruit some experienced workers first to produce the mobile phones.

I also know a bit about the Jinbao Mobile. It’s a refurbished phone factory established a year ago, and it’s said to have over a hundred employees.

If they are truly recruiting and expanding production now, then a daily output of 500 units is also possible.

So, we must start production within two days at the latest, otherwise, by the time our Chenguang Mobile Phone comes out, it will be too late.

By then, the world will only recognize the Jinbao Crash-Resistant King, not the Chenguang Mobile Phone!”

Speaking of this, Ke Hanliang also somewhat doubted whether his original decision was wrong, to have given Lin Chen 50% of the shares in a moment of clouded judgment.

At this moment, if the share transfer agreement hadn’t already been signed, he would truly want to kick Lin Chen out.

After all, judging from Peng Ge’s arrogant words, the Jinbao Crash-Resistant King must also be very crash-resistant, and since both phones have the same appearance, their crash resistance should not differ much.

As for the two testing platforms, Lin Chen had been working on them for a week without results, and Ke Hanliang truly had some doubts about whether Lin Chen was capable.

So, in this situation, Ke Hanliang’s original decision to spend 2 million to establish a refurbished phone factory and give Lin Chen 50% of the shares seemed a bit too impulsive.

At this moment, Ke Hanliang somewhat regretted his original decision to support Lin Chen. If he had directly copied the Chenguang Mobile Phone like Jinbao Mobile did, there wouldn’t be so many headaches now.

“The two testing platforms have been developed and are currently entering the manufacturing and assembly phase. I was originally planning to officially start production in four days, but since that’s the case, let’s officially launch at noon two days from now.”

Lin Chen’s expression was not very good after speaking. He admitted that recruiting all new hands indeed had his own little agenda, wanting to build a solid small team from scratch.

But at this moment, looking at Ke Hanliang’s coercion, he also deeply understood the disadvantages of partnering with someone to open a company, especially with someone who lacks patience!

No wonder the other party, more than ten years ago, was clearly one of the earliest transit traders of STM SMT machine components and chips, and even now, they are still transit traders of STM and chips, with little progress over more than ten years.

It turned out that the reason for everything was that Ke Hanliang lacked the patience to plant trees and wait for the fruit to ripen before picking it.

However, fortunately, Lin Chen had not intended to cooperate with this guy long-term from the start; he only wanted to borrow the other party’s procurement and sales channels and personal connections.

After all, he was involved in refurbished phones, which is a black business that can land one in jail at any time. If it was just small-scale earning a little money without being reported or caught, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

But as the sales volume of refurbished phones increased, the risks would also increase proportionally. If he were truly caught, he would be going to jail.

Therefore, at this moment, the two parties were in a relationship of mutual benefit, and Lin Chen, holding the mindset that the cooperation would last at most 3 months, did not feel sad or upset about being coerced at this time.
