Chapter 266 With President Zhao by my side, how can we not grow big and strong?
People have self-knowledge.
Su Jinyi understood perfectly.
He can't go back to the Dragon Kingdom now.
If you go back, you will definitely be arrested. If you are arrested, you will either be sentenced to death or executed, or you will spend the rest of your life in prison.
Moreover, his assets in China have been seized and auctioned off, and Linjiang Xinyi Group has gone bankrupt and been liquidated.
Even if they know Zhao Ruilong has benefited greatly, what can they do?
He is the Crown Prince of Handong.
How could a wanted criminal like himself, who was like a stray dog, possibly fight his way back to China and force Zhao Ruilong to give him back?
Live in the present.
Now that he has fled to the United States with his brothers and family, he can finally settle down.
They should be thinking about how to change their ways and live here permanently.
Although in earlier years, just in case, I bought property and invested in stocks in the United States so that I wouldn't end up homeless and starving.
However, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
It's too difficult to continue living the affluent life we had back home.
It costs US dollars here, and prices are significantly higher, plus there are many taxes and fees.
The cost of living is high, but there are still many mouths to feed.
Even if you have a certain amount of assets, you will eventually run out of them.
Thinking of Zhao Ruilong, he was a wealthy and powerful nobleman in China.
Furthermore, his Huilong Group is experiencing rapid growth.
In particular, Huilong Electronics' MP3 music players have been exported to the United States, and sales are quite good.
Su Jinyi, who was in a hurry to make money, couldn't wait to call Zhao Ruilong as soon as he heard that Zhao Ruilong had come to inspect the construction site of the Jinghai Xiawan Power Plant.
To get Zhao Ruilong to spare his life, he even swore an oath that he was willing to go through fire and water.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong naturally smiled.
"Don't exaggerate."
"What do you mean by going through fire and water? How could you possibly survive that?"
"If we're all dead, how can we work together to make money?"
Su Jinyi said with a fawning smile, "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao, you're right."
Zhao Ruilong chuckled softly.
He glanced out the window and said slowly and deliberately:
"If you want me to give you directions, you'd better tell me what's going on first, right?"
"If I don't even know your current situation, how can I give you directions?"
Su Jinyi quickly replied, "I'm currently in Shigatse, USA..."
Zhao Ruilong listened silently.
Linjiang Province, a mountainous province bordering the sea, has had people going out to sea to make a living for hundreds of years.
With their intelligence, diligence, and daring, they have established themselves and spread their businesses overseas.
As a result, a considerable portion of the Chinese people scattered around the world today are from Linjiang.
Moreover, many of them are doing quite well overseas.
Besides those who open restaurants and companies and become bosses, there are also those who form gangs and roam the underworld.
Su Jinyi managed to build a large group of brothers in Linjiang Province, becoming the richest man in Linjiang with a net worth of over 20 billion yuan.
While abroad, he naturally made many friends and even made some arrangements in advance.
Especially in the United States, he has people and territory in Chinatown, just on a smaller scale.
Now that he has brought his family and key members of the group to the United States, he naturally wants to expand and strengthen the company.
"...That's roughly the situation. As long as you, Mr. Zhao, are willing to show me a way out, our Yifu Gang brothers will..."
"Wait a moment!"
Zhao Ruilong shouted.
In an instant, everyone in the car turned their heads.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhong Xiaoai craned her neck and peered at Zhao Ruilong.
"What's wrong, Mr. Zhao?"
"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm on the phone!"
After waving his hand, Zhao Ruilong asked Su Jinyi with a furrowed brow.
"What did you just say? What help?"
"The Yifu Gang! When you're in the underworld, you have to be loyal to others, and besides, my name, Su Jinyi, happens to have the character 'yi' in it..."
Zhao Ruilong didn't really listen to Su Jinyi's explanation.
His mind was buzzing for a moment.
In the original TV series "In the Name of the People", after Ding Yizhen escaped, he fell into the hands of the Yifu Gang and suffered a lot.
Moreover, in the original drama, Zhao Ruilong was convicted of organizing a criminal gang at the end.
In addition, they once dispatched Southeast Asia's top assassin, Spotted Tiger, to attempt to kill Hou Liangping.
obviously.
In the original drama, Zhao Ruilong was a gang leader!
Yi Fu Gang is one of the criminal organizations he led!
"Fuck!"
"Su Jinyi! Yifu Gang!"
"After I transmigrated into the body of Zhao Ruilong, I devoted myself to doing practical things in order to defy fate and change my destiny."
"Unexpectedly, by some twist of fate, I've ended up getting involved with the Yi Fu Gang!"
"Is this some kind of destiny that can't be changed no matter what? Is this what they call fate?"
Thinking about this, Zhao Ruilong was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
I thought that with the system's assistance, I had greatly changed the course of my destiny.
But to my utter surprise, Su Jinyi and his Yifu Gang ended up getting involved with me.
but……
Even if we get implicated, we're not afraid.
In the original drama, the Zhao family was destroyed and Zhao Ruilong was sentenced to death because Zhao Lichun failed to win the battle, which led to him being accused of many crimes.
After transmigrating, she not only kept herself pure and avoided crossing any red lines, but also strongly assisted Zhao Lichun, giving him a great chance to continue to improve.
Therefore, as long as Zhao Lichun doesn't fall, he can defy fate and change his destiny.
And since they've already defied fate, what does it matter if they have some kind of cooperative relationship with Su Jinyi?
After all, helping Zhao Lichun improve is the core task of defying fate.
If this mission fails, it doesn't matter whether other missions were completed or who you collaborated with.
One wrong move and you lose the whole game!
If you win, you are innocent and blameless, and you have done nothing wrong.
If you lose, you'll be burdened with a mountain of crimes, every kind of crime imaginable.
and so……
We're willing to cooperate with anyone as long as it benefits the Zhao family and helps my father, Zhao Lichun, advance his career.
Didn't Su Jinyi want a way to survive?
Isn't he part of a group of people in the US, and do they have some influence there?
Just treat it like having a dog; it can help you make money and be useful when necessary.
In any case, in order to ensure the purity of the Han Dong system, even Yi Xuexi, who was highly regarded by Sha Ruijin in the original drama, was promoted ahead of time. It was also a necessary arrangement to cultivate some of his own people in the United States.
To put it bluntly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die.
In the future, if he fails to defy fate and his father Zhao Lichun fails to make progress and is instead punished, he will be purged.
I certainly wouldn't be like Zhao Ruilong in the original drama, foolishly returning it and ending up being arrested and sentenced to death.
If you need to escape to the United States, you need to make sure you have money and connections so you can live a stable and prosperous life. You need to plan ahead, right?
Moreover, for Handong's high-quality economy to achieve success, it needs to sell various high-tech products to the world.
Only when products sell well, support a large number of high-tech enterprises, create tens of millions of high-paying jobs, and contribute a large amount of tax revenue can the pilot program for high-quality economic development be considered a great success.
"Isn't making money simple?"
"We can try opening an internet cafe and selling MP3 music players first."
"Once the business is on track, more of our group's technology products will be launched, and the scale of the business will grow bigger and bigger."
"Moreover, once the business reaches a certain scale, it can cooperate with more domestic companies and diversify the products it sells."
"Perhaps in the future, we can act as sales agents for electronic products, medical drugs, photovoltaic modules, communication equipment, new energy vehicles, and so on..."
Since Su Jinyi needed a way to survive, Zhao Ruilong showed him one.
In the 21st century, in the United States where guns are free, it is clear that if you want to grow and expand, you still have to follow the old ways of fighting and killing and seizing territory.
Only by starting a company and doing business, taking advantage of the era of globalization and the honeymoon period of economic and trade cooperation between the United States and China, can we develop and grow rapidly.
In capitalist countries, if you want to live a good life, you have to become a capitalist!
Only by becoming capital can one have the right to sit at the table and the confidence to negotiate!
Otherwise, what's the point of having a bunch of henchmen who only know how to fight and bully?
They are not criminal organizations that could be cracked down on by the local authorities at any time.
Twenty minutes later.
The convoy arrived at the construction headquarters of the Beijing-Haikou Ring Expressway.
This is the second major project undertaken by Huilong Group in Jinghai after the bankruptcy liquidation of Linjiang Xinyi Group.
This major project is naturally beyond the scope of Jinghai Construction Group's capabilities.
Several sections were constructed by large state-owned enterprises.
Knowing that Zhao Ruilong went to the Xiawan Power Plant construction site, it is very likely that he will come to inspect the expressway project.
Therefore, the heads of each unit made preparations to welcome them well in advance.
As the convoy entered the command center, everyone, already dressed in full uniform, lined the road to welcome them.
And the other side.
Harboring resentment, Gao Qiqiang accompanied his godfather, Chen Tai, back to the headquarters of the Construction Group for a meeting.
As soon as the meeting ended, he asked Tang Xiaohu to drive him to the headquarters of Qiangsheng Communications Company to find his younger brother, Gao Qisheng.
I knocked and entered the general manager's office, only to find my younger brother engrossed in examining several colorful MP3 players of different shapes...
"Huh, Huilong MP3 has released a new model so quickly?"
Gao Qiqiang walked to his desk with a smile.
"This is hardly Young Master Zhao's new style!"
After glancing at the closed door, Gao Qisheng immediately explained:
"Huilong MP3 players are selling like hotcakes and in short supply. I knew that someone would definitely follow suit and imitate them."
"But I really didn't expect that the electronics factories in Shenzhen would follow suit so quickly."
"Look, they actually produced these knock-off MP3 players so quickly."
Gao Qiqiang was taken aback.
"A knock-off?"
"Yes, although the appearance and electronic components are different from Huilong MP3, the functional design and even the interface are very similar."
As he spoke, Gao Qisheng casually picked up one, turned it on, plugged in the earphones, and handed it to his older brother.
"Listen to this, although the sound quality isn't great, it is definitely an MP3."
Gao Qiqiang quickly tried it out.
Although the sound quality is not as good as the original, the response speed is also slower.
However, compared to traditional portable music players and repeaters, it's quite good for listening to music.
Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Gao Qiqiang took off his headphones and asked:
"how's the price?"
Gao Qisheng sneered, "Counterfeit goods are naturally much cheaper! The one you have here only costs 880. If you buy in bulk from the manufacturer, it will be even cheaper!"
"Hi~"
Gao Qiqiang gasped.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the workmanship of the counterfeit goods was not very good either.
It's estimated that they didn't put much effort into selecting materials and making the mold, so the paint finish and feel are not as good as Huilong MP3 players.
But considering the significantly lower price, it suddenly seemed acceptable.
After all, you get what you pay for.
"In other aspects, is the difference significant?"
"Of course it's big!"
Gao Qisheng picked up an analysis report.
"I had someone do a professional disassembly analysis and performance test."
"Mr. Zhao's Huilong MP3 player uses processors, storage units and other components that are independently developed and customized."
"These counterfeit products use a wide variety of electronic components, some of which are even second-hand salvaged parts from foreign-made machines."
"They did not conduct serious research and development design and compatibility testing, and the quality and performance of the electronic components themselves were also limited."
"Therefore, the counterfeit MP3 players produced are far inferior in terms of response speed, storage capacity, power consumption, and battery life."
"The most obvious problems are slow download speed, limited song storage, poor sound quality, choppy operation, and the device getting hot easily."
"Of course, compared to their super cheap price, these drawbacks are not so obvious. Anyway, after they were launched, there were quite a few orders."
Gao Qiqiang sighed, "What a pity. It's a pity that General Manager Zhao's production capacity is limited. If he could produce hundreds of thousands of units a day, why would these counterfeit products have a chance to survive?"
Gao Qisheng shook his head slightly.
"Brother, you're wrong."
"These knock-off products that follow the trend are not actually trying to steal Huilong MP3's market share."
"The world is so big, the population is so large, and there are huge differences between people. Their economic strength and consumption needs are also different."
"These have many shortcomings, but their advantage lies in being cheap knock-offs, which are aimed at the low-end consumer market, namely those who want to buy Huilong MP3 players but cannot afford them."
"Just like the PHS phones that made me a lot of money and enabled the company to develop rapidly, weren't they just cheap and satisfied those who wanted to buy mobile phones but couldn't afford them?"
Gao Qiqiang paused for a moment, then nodded with an awkward smile.
"That's true. People who can't afford a cell phone can tolerate the poor signal and buy a much cheaper PHS phone."
"Similarly, people who can't afford high-quality, high-performance Huilong MP3 players can tolerate many of their shortcomings and buy much cheaper knock-off MP3 players."
At this point, Gao Qiqiang put the MP3 player back on the table.
"However, many people have followed suit and imitated this, and have even received a lot of orders. Is Mr. Zhao aware of this?"
Gao Qisheng took off his glasses and said while wiping them:
“I guess even if he doesn’t know it yet, he’s already talked about it.”
“His MP3 players are mainly targeted at mid-to-high-end consumers. If he wanted to capture the low-end market as well, he would have already had a product plan.”
"And even if he knew, given his perspective, he would definitely say it's a good thing, that more companies participating in competition will promote rapid industry iteration."
"Besides, a counterfeit product is still a counterfeit product. It's something hastily made and poorly manufactured. Only after people have compared and used it can they realize how good Huilong MP3 players really are."
Gao Qiqiang suddenly realized.
"I understand."
"Without comparison, the difference cannot be seen."
"Without a gap, there is no way to demonstrate one's excellence."
"The emergence of these counterfeit products is actually not a bad thing for Mr. Zhao."
"The more these poorly made products are put on the market, the more people will feel that Huilong MP3 is well-made and has first-class performance."
"In this way, the brand image is elevated, and Huilong's high-end image is established in everyone's mind."
"In addition, the Huilong chain internet cafes, which are located almost all over the country, use Huilong computers that are smooth to operate and have excellent performance."
"Then gradually, more and more people will feel that Huilong's electronic products are particularly advanced and reliable, and it is only reasonable for them to be more expensive."
Gao Qisheng nodded emphatically and put on his clean glasses.
"So I estimate that not only now, but also in the future, when various products are launched and become bestsellers, and are imitated, Mr. Zhao will not care too much."
"A person who is not envied is mediocre! A person who is not envied is not considered outstanding, and a company's products that are not imitated are not considered very good."
At this point, Gao Qisheng offered his elder brother a cigarette.
"By the way, I just had dinner with President Zhao tonight, why are you looking for me now?"
Gao Qiqiang lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Uncle Tai has a short-sighted vision and a narrow perspective; he is too selfish towards me."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I became his godfather and married his goddaughter Chen Shuting. He never groomed me to be his successor."
“In his eyes, I was just an obedient worker who made money for him, and I didn’t even have to be paid a high salary.”
"How can a real man remain subservient to others for long? Now that we brothers have gotten on Mr. Zhao's good side, how can we let him take advantage of this relationship for nothing?"
"President Zhao is powerful and influential. Who knows how many big projects and deals he will have in the future? If Chen Tai manages to get on President Zhao's good side, he'll be set for life, but what about me?"
Gao Qisheng's brows furrowed in a deep frown.
"Then what do you mean?"
Gao Qiqiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I will feign an attack on one side while secretly advancing on the other!"
“I will continue to work under him, but you should build the Qiangsheng Group as soon as possible.”
"Once the time is right, I will sideline Uncle Tai, and we will acquire Jinghai Construction and make it bigger and stronger!"
