178: Chapter 178 Forgiveness? Double Opening

"You can do that?"

Zhang Hao nodded confidently. As part of a coalition composed of top-tier second-generation heirs, he might not be able to guarantee much, but stopping one or two products by finding some random issue to block their nationwide sales was easy.

That was as easy as pie—no problem at all.

"We can. It's not just confidence; if we were truly willing to act, the transsion s2 could be pulled from shelves nationwide within a week.

The three major carriers that your sales currently rely on? It would just take one phone call.

As for your offline stores, although you own them, there's always some issue to be found with taxes, fire safety, and so on.

For your company right now, being forced to suspend operations for rectification would result in significant losses.

But with our connections, these problems wouldn't be problems at all. President Shen should be very clear on how to choose."

After finishing, he wore a confident expression. After all, they were all smart people; there was no need to beat around the bush.

Shen Fei looked at them seriously for a moment, then nodded silently. After a while, he laughed.

"Zhang Hao, right?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face again as he signaled Lin Hu to take out the contract.

They shouldn't have let this impulsive tiger come in the first place. President Shen was quite easy to talk to, wasn't he? They were almost successful; it wasn't as difficult as he had said.

"You speak more pleasantly than Lin Hu."

Lin Hu clenched his fists instantly, wanting to go up and argue, but Zhang Hao stopped him.

He whispered in his ear: "The big picture is what matters most."

After holding back his pig teammate, he smiled and said: "President Shen, you're too kind."

"I'm not complimenting you. I just want to give you a reminder. You've made a mistake."

"What mistake?"

Shen Fei stood up and walked back to his desk. He turned around and looked down at them from his position.

"You think my confidence comes from my father-in-law, and that I'm with Zhang Mingzhu because of that connection."

He paused for a moment, observing the expressions on their faces.

"But you're wrong. Actually, it was love at first sight. Or perhaps, I was just lusting after her beauty."

Zhang Hao and the other man stared in surprise at Shen Fei's pursed lips.

Big brother, we're talking about serious business here, and you're just going to say so bluntly that you were lusting after her beauty...

It's not like we don't have girlfriends; why are you showing off your affection here?

But before they could speak, Shen Fei had already begun his introduction:

"In your impression, the mobile phone industry might be a labor-intensive industry that has nothing to do with so-called high technology and can be easily manipulated.

But you might not understand what self-developed chips and semiconductor factories actually mean.

Your family members might understand this issue a bit better."

Lin Hu's expression changed completely, and Zhang Hao's smile faded a bit. When he went home last week, the old man had lectured him and then mentioned these things.

A cold sweat immediately broke out.

Shen Fei sat down and pulled two documents from his drawer, placing them on the desk.

"First, check what Taishan 900 means, then think about the power behind us—whose is greater?"

Zhang Hao was a little panicked at this point and opened his phone to check.

The Taishan 900 really was their technology.

This single piece of technology was enough to make them a key national enterprise.

They had...

And this 'key enterprise' seemed a bit different from the ones in the past.

It wasn't like they hadn't dealt with this before, but this time...

The more he looked, the more shocked he became. Zhang Hao's hands were moving unconsciously. It seemed like he hadn't just kicked an iron plate; he had kicked a steel plate.

But just then, Shen Fei placed that other document on the table in front of them.

"There's also this one, take a look. Be careful; if you dirty it, I don't have another copy."

Zhang Hao tremblingly took the materials and slowly pulled out the document with shaking hands.

But the first line of bold black text immediately scared him to death. Military Production Qualification.

He looked at Lin Hu in disbelief. This wasn't a steel plate; it was a missile.

He only hoped that Shen Fei would be magnanimous and act as if they had never come.

But at this moment, he still held a shred of fantasy. Military production qualifications, while rarely seen by ordinary people, could be obtained if a company's technology was impressive enough...

Perhaps this was something Zhang Shiqing or the teacher behind him had obtained for him... to help him survive this crisis.

But the text that followed completely made him abandon his fantasies. His hands were shaking as if he were sick, and he almost fell to his knees.

Scope of License: Automobiles, gas turbines, aircraft engines, rocket engines...

Lin Hu had also been a bit curious at first about what exactly Zhang Hao had seen, but after he finished reading, his expression changed completely.

"This... this is impossible."

"The scope of a general qualification certificate can't be this large. This document of yours is definitely a forgery; this is a capital offense."

The silly tiger once again displayed the charm of a martial general.

"You also know it's a capital offense. My life is still very wonderful; there's no need to mess around with you. As for its authenticity, checking a certificate shouldn't be difficult for you. Do you know what my confidence is now?"

...

The conference room remained silent like this for over five minutes. Zhang Hao's eyes darted around rapidly; he wanted to find a single issue with this document.

But... the seal was fine, the text was fine—it was absolutely real.

Zhang Hao completely put down the document and began to slide to his knees smoothly.

"President Shen, we... we didn't know about this."

"Isn't this just a case of fighting among our own?"

Lin Hu's entire demeanor changed instantly, and a fawning expression appeared on his face.

"President Shen, we're... we're all family. Why don't you just treat us as one of your own and let it go?"

Seeing that Shen Fei didn't answer, Zhang Hao straightened up and then smoothly knelt down.

He physically knelt down, staying there with a very sincere attitude.

"President Shen, you decide how to resolve this. Money or shares in other companies—it's all fine."

Shen Fei looked at him, having no interest in what he was offering. After all, the things they had obtained probably weren't that clean either.

"You're quite a sensible person. Get up!"

Zhang Hao sat back in his chair and gave a bitter smile: "I have to be sensible. There are no more than five private enterprises in the country that can obtain this kind of license. Every single one..."

Before he could finish, Shen Fei continued: "Behind every single one, there's not just one person. We were able to get so much; can you guess how many are behind us?"

...

How Zhang Hao and Lin Hu left, they didn't even know themselves.

Zhang Hao only knew that Shen Fei hadn't promised anything. Lu Mingyuan also started looking for people, trying to find a solution.

But Shen Fei's counterattack was faster than imagined.

Three days later. News arrived: Lin Hu's father, the head of a certain ministry, was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation. Zhang Hao's father was directly double-dismissed.

The real big boss, Lu Mingyuan's father—the top player who was pushing for the peak of his career—was given a disciplinary warning and forced to retire to the second line early.

Yangcheng, Transsion headquarters. Zhang Mingzhu brought the internal notice and placed it on Shen Fei's desk.

"Xiaofei, regarding Lu Mingyuan's side... the speed of the resolution is much faster than I imagined.

But this group of tumors has finally paid the corresponding price. It's just a pity that Lu Mingyuan didn't go in.

Those people they harmed are truly pitiful."

Shen Fei took a look: "Mingzhu, their families have already paid the corresponding price, and sometimes not going in is actually a good thing.

Think about it: because of their reckless maneuvers, they ruined the most promising person in their entire family, and everyone else will be affected as a result. What do you think their internal reaction will be?"

"Then..."

Zhang Mingzhu understood instantly. Everyone relies on the accumulation of connections from multiple people, and then lets one person charge upwards...

This could be described as using the power of the entire family. Now... when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Their next competitors will attack them relentlessly.

Before, they couldn't win, so they had to accept the loss, but now, it's time to settle the accounts properly...

Meanwhile, in Kyoto. Lu Mingyuan also hadn't expected this. Wasn't it just a company? He had taken it, and it wasn't the first time.

How did it cause such a huge incident, dragging the Lu family directly into the abyss?
