Chapter 16: The Rich Entertainment Circle
《Guide to the Max-level Boss Bullying the Trash [Quick Transmigration]》
“Four-dimensional holographic smartphone? Are you kidding? How could such a phone exist?”
“It shouldn’t be a lie. It was on CCTV’s noon news. How could CCTV lie?”
“I’ve also read the news. It’s true. My friend bought one. Its functions are much more powerful than the phones sold on the market.”
“I’m not dreaming. The phones in science fiction blockbusters really appear in reality?”
Not long after the Patriot phone was launched, it was sold out. However, in just one month, the sales volume of the Patriot phone was far ahead. The stocks of specialty stores across the country were sold out, and the number of people queuing for appointments reached an astonishing number.
Information about the Patriot phone is constantly emerging in major newspapers and video websites.
With its powerful functions and technology far beyond this era, the Patriot phone has carved out a bloody path in the mobile phone market. In less than a month, it has replaced the status of other mobile phones.
The price is not much different, but the functions are much more than ordinary mobile phones. Naturally, people are more willing to choose a mobile phone with a higher cost performance.
Other brands of mobile phones have already laid a solid foundation. Under the impact of Patriot mobile phones, although their market share has been decreasing, they have a foundation and have not yet reached the point of losing money.
However, Qi Group did not have such good luck.
After Qi Ze took over Qi Group, he began to transform. Originally, Qi Group was mostly engaged in physical industries, chain supermarkets, shopping malls, food processing and production, etc. Qi Ze felt that these were all old things that Qi Wang did, and there was no future for development. He did not want to follow Qi Wang's old path and wanted to establish his own prestige, so he began to transform in the two directions of real estate and high-tech.
However, Qi Ze had ambitions, but he did not have the means to match his ambitions. After he came to power, he fired several executives who were once very popular with Qi Wang and replaced them with his own people. However, these people were incompetent but had great ideas. Qi Ze, who was incompetent and inexperienced, could not suppress his subordinates, and was unwilling to listen to Bai Qiujiang's advice. He insisted on doing what he thought was right.
After several projects failed, Qi Ze, who could not get help from Qi Wang, simply bought a mobile phone company on the verge of bankruptcy. With the company's original technology as a foundation, Qi Ze could avoid many problems. After spending a lot of money to research new technology, the original mobile phone changed a lot in appearance, and the style was better than the current mobile phones on the market.
Coincidentally, Qi Ze, who was full of confidence, also chose October 1 to launch the mobile phone produced by his own company.
With the Patriot mobile phone as a precedent, who can still look at a new mobile phone that only changes in appearance but not much in function?
Qi Ze was full of confidence and felt that he could take the company to the next level, but the cruel reality slapped him in the face.
After the product was launched, Qi Ze's mobile phone sold less than 800 units.
After receiving the financial report handed over by his subordinates, Qi Ze, who was originally calm, panicked.
The frequent failures of several recent projects have already made Qi Ze lose his composure. After all, he is still young and wants to establish his prestige as soon as possible, so he is inevitably impatient. He has invested a large amount of money in the newly acquired mobile phone company, but it has been a long time since he has made a profit.
Qi Ze is like a trapped beast. He does not think about his mistakes, but blames Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. If this company did not choose to hold a new product launch conference on the same day as him, how could his mobile phone not be sold?
"Check, check it carefully for me, I want to see who is behind this company and dare to go against our Qi Group."
Qi Ze ordered his men to check the background of Expectation Technology Co., Ltd.
This company is obviously new. How can such a small company compare with a behemoth like the Qi Group?
Qi Ze had a beautiful idea. Since someone was blocking his way, he would acquire the company. Money was not a problem. Nowadays, capital and connections are the most important things for doing business. Many new companies seem to be doing well, but in fact, if there is no company investment, they will disappear like a meteor soon.
If a small, unknown company like Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. wants to survive, it is their best choice to join the big ship of Qi Group.
After sending people out, Qi Ze did not care about this matter. Qi Ze was very confident about acquiring the company. He believed that no one would refuse the conditions he proposed.
After the secretary came out of Qi Ze's office, although he still looked like an elite, he kept complaining in his heart.
The secretary of Patriot also bought a mobile phone. At first, he disliked the earthy name, but after getting the phone, the shape full of technology and the holographic projection AI comparable to movie special effects completely captured the secretary's heart.
In the secretary's opinion, it is basically impossible for other mobile phones to surpass Patriot mobile phones within five years. As long as the quality is guaranteed, the mobile phone market will definitely be dominated by Patriot.
With such high-precision technology, how could the company be acquired by them?
Although the Qi Group is a behemoth, it is not to the point of controlling the economic lifeline of the entire Yanjing. Does President Qi really think that he is a domineering president in a novel who can get other people's companies with just one sentence?
Even if he complained a lot in his heart, the secretary still looked like an elite. After leaving with the information, he began to investigate Expectation Technology Co., Ltd.
From the surface, Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. was established only half a year ago, with a registered capital of 200 million yuan, the legal representative is Zhang Liang, and the company's president is Qi Wang.
No, how could the company's president be Qi Wang?
The secretary was stunned. He looked at the information he had investigated on the computer screen and fell into a strange silence.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The secretary rubbed his eyebrows and got up to open the door.
"Who is it?"
The secretary asked, and a strong male voice came from outside the door.
"The courier."
The secretary did not doubt him and opened the door. Before he could see who was outside the door, the secretary was pressed down by someone.
Secretary: "!!!!"
"The suspect has been controlled, and a full house search will be conducted immediately."
The secretary who was pressed to the ground struggled to raise his head, and immediately saw a pair of black military leather boots passing by him.
Oh, no, wait, did he make a mistake? What's wrong with these people?
The secretary was completely confused. After being searched upside down at home, he was taken away by a group of armed special police.
Secretary: "!!!!"
He didn't do anything! Why did the courier find him!
On the other side, Qi Ze waited and waited but didn't get his secretary's information - let alone information, his secretary didn't come to work for two days.
Qi Ze was very angry and unilaterally fired the secretary of the miner, and then sent another secretary to check the information of Expectation Technology Co., Ltd.
Then, the second secretary also left the miner.
Qi Ze: "..."
Are all his secretaries so irresponsible?
When Qi Ze was about to send out the third secretary, the express was finally delivered to Qi Ze. Qi Ze, wearing pajamas and looking confused, was taken to the Special Security Department for interrogation by Zhang Liang and others.
"Qi Ze, why do you investigate Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. one after another? What is your purpose? Tell the truth."
Qi Ze, who had never experienced such a scene, was confused.
No, he just wanted to acquire Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. Is there anything wrong with doing routine investigations before the acquisition? Is it necessary to make such a big scene?
However, no matter how Qi Ze explained, the people who arrested him refused to believe him. He was detained for a whole week. After his ancestors were investigated thoroughly, Qi Ze and the two secretaries he thought were absent from work were released together.
Qi Ze & Secretary: "..."
What did they do wrong?
After sending these people away, Zhang Liang held the sorted information with an extremely solemn expression on his face. The faces of other members of the special police team were not very good. Everyone was silent and didn't know what to say.
Who knew that after investigating so much, such a secret could be found? Although as Qi Ze said, he just wanted to acquire Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. beyond his ability.
Qi Ze's purpose was fine, but he was a big problem.
In front of the state machine, many secrets are not secrets. When they investigated deeper, they found something else.
Qi Ze is not Qi Wang's biological son, and Qi Wang doesn't seem to know this.
Zhang Liang and others have been with Qi Wang for a long time. They still remember clearly what Qi Wang said to Qi Ze in the small restaurant more than two months ago.
As long as Qi Ze is willing to invest 200 million, Qi Wang will give him 4 million original shares of Expectation Technology Co., Ltd.
Does Qi Wang, who has the state as his backer, lack money? Obviously he is not short of money, and these 4 million original shares are equivalent to giving them to Qi Ze for free.
However, Qi Wang's sincere love for his son was not cherished, and Qi Ze rejected Qi Wang at that time.
As a result, he ignored Qi Wang at that time, and now he is thinking about acquiring Qi Wang's company. Doesn't this man have a problem with his brain?
Originally, they were still wondering how Mr. Qi, who was so smart, could have given birth to such a stupid son. Now it seems that genes will not mutate. Qi Ze is not Mr. Qi's biological son at all. No wonder he has no vision and no ability.
"Captain Zhang, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Everyone didn't know what to do, so they asked Zhang Liang what to do.
Should this investigation material be handed over to Qi Wang, or not?
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and made a decision quickly.
"I don't want Mr. Qi to be kept in the dark all the time. Mr. Qi's feelings should not be given to such an ungrateful person."
So, Qi Wang learned from Zhang Liang that he was cuckolded.
Qi Wang: "I know. I want to be alone and quiet."
Qi Wang was quiet for a week. During this time, Qi Wang stopped all the work at hand, ate only one meal a day, and spent most of the rest of the time in a daze.
When he appeared in front of Zhang Liang again, he had lost a lot of weight.
"Mr. Qi..."
Zhang Liang wanted to say something, but Qi Wang waved his hand to stop him from saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I have a new idea about the Patriot No. 1 combination mode, and now I'm going to the laboratory."
Nothing is more important than research.
Seeing Qi Wang, who was obviously very uncomfortable but devoted to research, Zhang Liang and others felt very uncomfortable.
Mr. Qi is such a good person, how could those people bear to hurt him?
****
At Qi Wang's request, the information of Expectation Technology Co., Ltd. was not concealed, and soon everyone knew who the president of the company that launched the Patriot mobile phone was.
The name Qi Wang once again entered the eyes of these people.
No one expected that Qi Wang, who left Qi Group in disgrace, would stand up again. Moreover, according to their internal information, Qi Wang seemed to have cooperated with the country. When some people whose interests were infringed wanted to attack Expectation Technology Co., Ltd., they were investigated and rectified without exception. No one dared to attack this company again.
Originally, Patriot mobile phones were only popular in China, but an incident that happened later pushed the influence of this mobile phone to the whole world.
On January 23, 2009, the government of Country N went to war with the rebels, and a thousand Chinese tourists were trapped in Country N.
