94: Chapter 94 identifies Huayao Communications as its biggest competitor!

Hearing the commotion outside,

Bai Jingqing and the two bank presidents walked out as well.

Looking at the Ceremonial Guards walking toward his mobile phone shop,

the several men were completely bewildered.

It wasn't until the leading ceremonial guard came forward and explained the situation to Bai Jingqing

that Bai Jingqing realized this had been arranged by the Shi City government.

The Shi City government had received instructions from above,

and they took it very seriously,

even arranging for the Ceremonial Guards, who were only deployed for important events,

to come and deliver a plaque to Bai Jingqing.

Bai Jingqing hurriedly went to welcome the Ceremonial Guards who had come to deliver the plaque.

Witnessed by a crowd of people,

the plaque was hung above the door of Bai Jingqing's mobile phone shop.

The surrounding people burst into applause and cheers,

and just as the plaque was hung,

several strings of two-thousand-count firecrackers went off simultaneously,

"Crack-crack-pop-pop!"

"Crack-crack-pop-pop!"

Mixed with the noise of the crowd,

the place suddenly became exceptionally lively.

Xue Haixin and Pang Xietang sat in the car,

watching the situation outside the car window,

and the two had completely different reactions.

Xue Haixin grew more silent the more he watched,

gritting his teeth without saying a word.

Pang Xietang, on the other hand, even felt a hint of secret joy in his heart.

From the looks of it,

Xue Haixin's move today had failed to work again.

According to what Xue Haixin had just told him,

if he couldn't deal with Bai Jingqing today,

he would allow him to return the batch of Li Xiang Phones in his hands.

This was truly a good thing for him.

Outside, the crowd gathered together,

congratulating Bai Jingqing and Huayao Technology.

Bai Jingqing also thanked everyone very warmly,

expressing gratitude for their presence and support,

while simultaneously trying to pull the Ceremonial Guards who delivered the plaque into the shop to sit down,

or at least have a glass of water.

Yan Zongwang acted just like a shop assistant of Bai Jingqing's,

helping to attend to the Ceremonial Guards,

busy working back and forth.

If he didn't say so himself,

no one would believe

that this was a high-ranking official at the deputy ministerial level.

Chang Rongjun, who was beside him, looked awkward,

clapping with a forced smile throughout the process.

The atmosphere at the scene was very harmonious, congenial, and lively,

with only one point of contention—

the [Technological Innovation Demonstration Enterprise] plaque.

No matter how one looked at it, its tone didn't match this tiny mobile phone shop.

However, Bai Jingqing's factory was quite far away,

and he was currently reluctant to let others see his factory,

so he temporarily placed the plaque here at the mobile phone shop.

Once the reconstruction of the factory was mostly finished,

he would move the plaque over there.

Inside the car,

Pang Xietang cautiously asked the very silent Xue Haixin, "Chairman Xue,

given the current situation,

can we still bring that kid down?"

Xue Haixin seemed to have been provoked by something

and suddenly slapped the steering wheel. "Bring him down? How the hell can we do that now!

It looks like he's already being watched by the higher-ups.

I really should have acted sooner.

Trying to mess with him under the noses of so many leaders

would definitely turn out very ugly.

It's really difficult to handle now!"

He was extremely frustrated at this moment,

but recently he had been busy with the ideal a8 Pro launch event

and preparing for the World Mobile Communication Congress.

He was so overwhelmed

that he simply had no time to deal with Bai Jingqing.

Pang Xietang then asked his most pressing concern even more cautiously, "Then Chairman Xue,

about my phones,

you see...

will you let me return them?"

Who would have thought that at this time, Xue Haixin would turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge their agreement? "Return them? Why should I?

You've already bought them.

How can there be a reason to return them?

We'll talk about this later.

I'm not feeling very well,

I'm going back first."

Thus, Xue Haixin got out of the car,

tucked his tail between his legs, and slunk away amidst the noise of the crowd.

At this time, a string of curses filled the car again

as Pang Xietang couldn't help but swear.

After Xue Haixin returned to the company,

he announced to the internal staff

that from this day forward, Huayao Communications would be officially treated as a competitor!

He required every department to study the xiaomi phone produced by Huayao as their greatest competing product,

and then formulate corresponding policies and strategies.

Overnight,

it was as if they had returned to several years ago.

At that time, the domestic mobile phone market was basically divided between Huayao and Ideal.

Although Huayao Communications was now a new enterprise

and hadn't yet captured as large a market share as the previous Huayao Technology,

its prospects were indeed very broad.

Xue Haixin believed that within a few years, it would become just like the former Huayao Technology.

Now he had to take Huayao Communications seriously.

Even from the perspective of technical prowess,

Huayao Communications seemed to have an even higher technological content than Huayao Technology.

After all, Huayao Technology had never come up with something as fancy as a Dual Curved Screen before.

"Could it be that this kid from the Bai family really has some skill?

It's not entirely just living off the old capital of the previous Huayao Technology?"

Xue Haixin pondered deeply,

unable to figure it out no matter how he tried.

He didn't know how Bai Jingqing had done it,

managing to turn things around even in such a destitute situation.

After learning about Xue Haixin's plan,

those shareholders were naturally very displeased.

Although a board meeting hadn't been convened,

many major shareholders still went to his office in private

and subjected him to a round of angry rebukes.

"It's not that I want to criticize you,

but if you had completely finished off that kid from the Bai family earlier,

how could things have come to this?"

"Now look what's happened.

The huge market share we worked so hard to get

is now being eaten away bit by bit by someone else!"

"We're already inferior to them in at least two generations of models.

Xue Haixin, what on earth are you doing?"

"Exactly! Do you even still have the ability to be the Chairman?

If you can't do it, then step down.

It'll be better for you, for me, and for everyone!

You hold shares in the company too.

Do you really want to see this situation?

Do you really want to lose money?"

Faced with the angry rebukes from the many shareholders,

Xue Haixin ignored them completely,

still staring intently at a file in his hands.

Hearing those furious directors buzzing in his ears,

he instead became much calmer.

Seeing Xue Haixin remain silent throughout,

the shareholders shouted even more fiercely.

After a while, Xue Haixin seemed to have grown tired of listening.

He slammed the table with a loud bang

and then stood up abruptly.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!

Everyone, stop talking.

Let me be alone for a while.

Since I was able to bring down Huayao Technology once,

I can bring it down a second time!

Just you wait and see!"

After Bai Jingqing received the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fund issued by the state,

he immediately invested the money into the reconstruction of the factory.

His factory was currently undergoing a massive expansion and reconstruction,

with an initial investment expected to be over a billion.

Although the fund issued by the state wasn't much,

it indeed helped to alleviate some of the urgent needs.

As for the other funds,

they came from Bai Jingqing's continued sales of mobile phones

and further loans from the bank.
