Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 20 More Money, Bonus! The Factory is My Home

Half an hour later, Liu Zhihong solemnly left the conference room.

He didn't want to stick with the Android system; he was afraid of failure.

A system driven by only one mobile phone company, unless it's Apple, is unlikely to succeed.

After all, besides Google, the Android Developers Alliance also includes more than 30 mobile phone companies. With the support of these mobile phone companies, there is no need to worry at all.

As for its former employer, Saipan, that system was destined to fail, but now there seems to be another possibility...

Mr. Shen is right. Now is a great opportunity to expand the market. Wouldn't it be a shame not to give it a shot?

If successful, Liu Zhihong will be the father of HarmonyOS and will leave an important mark on the history of Chinese science and technology. We must work hard for this goal!

…………

Not long after Liu Zhihong left, Shen Fei leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat tired.

At this moment, Huang Tianya pushed the door open and walked in again: "President Shen, the acquisition of Xineng Battery is complete. The total price is 735 million yuan, and all debts will be assumed, with a total cost of 2780 million yuan."

The workers cheered when they heard they would be paid and receive bonuses; Professor Wang was already leading a team to upgrade the production line.

"Good job!" Shen Fei rubbed his eyes to relieve his fatigue. "Speed ​​up as much as possible."

"Also, please arrange a meeting with the head of MediaTek's China region next week. Chip prices are still too high, and we need to reduce costs as much as possible."

"no problem."

At this moment, Li Qing, who had followed, chimed in, "President Shen, we've also discovered something interesting."

A tech blogger named Xiaobai Unboxing bought our T1 and apparently wants to do a review.

"Would you like to make contact?"

"Xiaobai Unboxing?" Shen Fei recalled the name. In his memories before his rebirth, this blogger was best at buying knock-off phones, and by leveraging a sufficiently niche market, he became a top-tier digital product review YouTuber in China…

"No need to make contact proactively," Shen Fei said after thinking for a moment. "If he wants a testing unit, let him buy it himself. Our goal for Transsion in the short term is not to expand domestically... Let's pretend we don't know anything about this."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, the two left the meeting room.

Huang Tianya's performance completely convinced Li Qing of his intuition. This Huaxin Investment was definitely related to the boss, so the future looked bright.

…………

Meanwhile, in Dongguan, Guangzhou, at the Xineng Battery Factory.

Wang Mengyang was directing the renovation work next to the production line. The workers were full of enthusiasm when they heard that the new and old bosses were not only paying back wages, but also giving raises and bonuses.

The once lifeless factory came back to life overnight.

"Mr. Wang, a key piece of equipment on this production line is unusable, and the cost of modification is too high," the factory's former technical supervisor said hesitantly, while also being somewhat worried that he might say the wrong thing and suffer the same fate as the other managers.

"Money is not a problem," Wang Mengyang replied without looking up. "The boss said we need the best equipment, the strictest standards, and the batteries must be reliable."

After speaking, Wang Mengyang pointed to the design drawings: "Here, the winding process needs to be changed, and the electrode alignment tolerance should be controlled within 0.1mm."

Also, the temperature control during the liquid injection process here must meet the standards…

The technical team leader looked at the younger yet technically skilled man and felt a chill run down his spine. Was his intuition correct? Was this the man who had come to replace him?

Really? The new boss not only has to get rid of all the incompetent ones, but the management team also has to deal with these...

It seems like that's possible.

After all, the acquiring company, Transsion, had already undergone a major internal purge. No, he had to prove his worth…

"Brothers, let's work harder and not let the new boss down. I heard this is just the first bonus; as long as everyone can meet the production target, there will be more bonuses from the boss."

"Brother Wang understands. Our team will work overtime tonight, and we must resume production tomorrow."

…………

The renovation was still ongoing at 8 p.m.

Wang Mengyang also received a message from Shen Fei on his phone: "Professor Wang, you mainly need to focus on research and development. You don't need to pay special attention to front-line production."

Your health is more important.

Wang Mengyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, it'll only be for three days, it's nothing serious."

Then he continued to bury himself in his work, as the most pressing issue at the company was resolving the battery problem.

Meanwhile, in a luxury mansion on the other side of Yangquan, Li Xiangdong, the vice president of Bird Mobile, was listening to a report from his subordinate.

"Mr. Li, Desay has confirmed that they have cut off Transsion's supply. They definitely won't be able to produce a single phone next month."

But they've already gone to Africa, is it still necessary for us to target them like this?

Li Xiangdong swirled his wine glass, a smile playing on his lips, but it quickly turned cold.

"Foolish! Shen Guoming's son does have some guts, at least he's a bit better than Shen Guoming. Going to Africa for fun, the profit is a bit lower, but there's definitely less competition than in China."

"What a pity, the marketplace isn't child's play. The dead Transsionist made me feel safer than the one I had in Africa."

"However, Mr. Li, we've received information that Transsion's new shareholder, Huaxin Investment, has acquired a battery factory. Could there be something fishy going on here?"

"What kind of trouble can acquiring a bankrupt factory cause? I don't believe this investment bank will continue to support this burden." Li Xiangdong's tone also carried a hint of disdain.

"Let them mess around. After a while, they'll see when battery production falls short of expectations... So what if they sell well in Africa? I'll make sure you can't deliver."

"What if Xineng's battery products pass the test, and Transsion really supports them..."

"So what?" Li Xiangdong put down his wine glass. "The African market is so small, and the profit margins are so thin. Transsion thinks it can support a battery factory and a mobile phone factory with that little sales volume? Dream on."

Don't worry, that investment bank can't keep investing in them forever; they'll eventually give up. The more comfortable the Shen family is living now, the more they'll regret it later.

He stood up: "Inform the marketing department that we'll be releasing our new phone next month, priced at 499, focusing on entry-level photography. Reduce the price from those two Transsion suppliers by another three percent; I refuse to believe we can't handle it."

"yes!"

After his subordinates left, Li Xiangdong walked to the window and looked in the direction of Transsion headquarters.

"Shen Fei, Shen Fei."

Even your father couldn't beat me back then, what makes you, a mere brat, think you can?"

He gave a cold laugh. The business world is like a battlefield, and this war is about to continue. He believed that Bird Mobile, with its current status, would definitely survive to the end.

On the other side, Shen Fei suddenly sneezed. Was the person hiding behind him about to make another move? But what was it about telepathy that they were so interested in...?

However, thinking of the phone call his mother made yesterday, Shen Fei put the matter aside.

Who cares? With Huaxin Investment around, whatever schemes they have, they can't stir up any waves.

I'll go to Nanshan Hospital first thing tomorrow morning!

Having been reborn for so long, I've been so busy cleaning up inside that I haven't even gone to see the old man yet.
