Chapter 265 Overseas Big Bosses Enter Hong Kong
For the next two weeks, the Oriental Group worked overtime to produce mobile phones.
Meanwhile, Xu Youwei's newly established Qiming Technology, under Wang Hao's organization and leadership, is working intensively on the stolen technical data as its foundation, setting a goal to overcome all technical difficulties and put the technology into production within two months.
Even if other new companies spend a lot of money on technological research, none of them are like Qiming Technology, which spends a billion yuan right from the start.
When Wang Hao saw Xu Youwei give him 1 billion yuan, he felt both relieved to be free from the confidentiality agreement and under immense pressure knowing that Xu Youwei would definitely kill him if he couldn't produce the mobile phone.
It was under these conflicting feelings that Wang Hao discovered there was something wrong with the technical data he had stolen!
At the beginning, he encountered some minor problems that he felt were illogical and couldn't understand. He thought they were the same problems he encountered when he was at the Oriental Company, where he had overlooked some conditions. He believed that as long as he considered all aspects, he could solve them.
But after several such incidents, Wang Hao had a vague feeling that his research direction had completely gone astray.
He didn't find any real problems, but he always felt that if he tried to implement the research now, it would fail.
But whenever Wang Hao thought about how Xu Youwei had paid a billion yuan in breach of contract fees for the stolen information, he dared not say anything and could only grit his teeth and continue.
It was under this tense situation that Wang Hao learned that mobile phones already existed overseas, and that overseas mobile phone manufacturers, upon learning that Oriental brand mobile phones were selling well in Hong Kong, were about to enter the Hong Kong market.
Wang Hao panicked the moment he heard the news.
Wang Hao hurriedly went to find Xu Youwei.
Meanwhile, Xu Youwei was regretting giving Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng 1 billion yuan in breach of contract fees more and more each day.
He was so envious of the sales volume of Oriental Group's flagship mobile phone that he lost his mind.
It was also because he thought he could produce his own mobile phones and seize the mobile phone market from the Oriental Group that he angered Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing.
But for whatever reason, no one actually gave Xu Youwei a billion yuan to make him feel the pinch.
This is similar to an ordinary person impulsively buying a million-dollar handbag, and the handbag can't be transferred anywhere; it can only be kept in their possession.
Xu Youwei, of course, knew about the news that the major overseas mobile phone manufacturers were going to enter the Hong Kong market earlier than Wang Hao.
As the largest industrial enterprise in Hong Kong, Xu Youwei was even the first person to learn of this news. When major overseas manufacturers were looking for agents in Hong Kong, the first company they contacted was Xu's.
When Xu Youwei first heard the news, he was nothing but furious.
If he had known that mobile phones could be manufactured overseas, why would he have spent a billion dollars?
What's the point of spending this billion?
But the money had already been spent, and he couldn't take it back from Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing.
The only solution is to acquire the distribution rights of major overseas mobile phone manufacturers, use overseas brands and Oriental brand mobile phones to compete in the market, and then join the competition once our own mobile phones are produced.
Xu Youwei spent the entire night trying to regain his composure.
When he arrived at the company the next morning, he saw Wang Hao waiting for him with a worried look on his face, but he remained calm.
"Mr. Xu, you've finally arrived. Something terrible has happened."
"What's making you so flustered? Have you encountered any technical difficulties?"
Wang Hao followed Xu Youwei into the office.
"Mr. Xu, you are more informed than I am. You should know that the overseas mobile phone giant is going to enter the Hong Kong market. What should we do? It will take at least three months for our mobile phone to be developed and produced."
Wang Hao had absolutely no idea what to expect. Based on his intuition, it was impossible to produce a mobile phone in three months.
But he didn't dare say it would take longer.
Xu Youwei remained calm and said, "You just focus on researching and producing mobile phones; you don't need to worry about anything else."
Wang Hao was taken aback.
He thought Xu Youwei would be just as flustered as he was, putting pressure on him, and it would be best to scold him back to focus on researching and producing the mobile phone. That way, he could use the excuse that he was too anxious about the research and that the psychological pressure was too great, which caused him to make a mistake, to delay the process.
Unexpectedly, Xu Youwei was not in a hurry at all.
This was not what Wang Hao had expected; he had come here to be scolded!
Xu Youwei was unaware of what Wang Hao was thinking. Seeing Wang Hao lost in thought, he assumed that Wang Hao had not yet gotten over his mental burden.
Xu Youwei then said, "Wang Hao, you don't need to worry about the overseas mobile phone entering the Hong Kong market. The Hong Kong agency rights for this mobile phone will definitely be taken by the Xu family, so it will not pose a threat to our Qiming Technology. In fact, it can help us occupy the market share of the Oriental brand mobile phone."
Wang Hao suddenly realized.
He immediately thought that if the Xu family obtained the agency rights, wouldn't they also be able to acquire the production technology of overseas brands?
"Mr. Xu, now that the Xu family has obtained the agency rights, can we also obtain the production technology of overseas mobile phones? This will not only accelerate the research process of Qiming Technology, but also enable us to produce more advanced mobile phones."
Xu Youwei raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"As expected of a researcher, your mind works quickly. I'll consider it. You can go back and do your work now."
Seeing that Xu Youwei had taken his advice to heart, Wang Hao finally went back home reassured.
Xu Youwei became even more determined to secure the overseas distribution rights for Big Mobile.

"Sis, you seem so relaxed right now."
When Shen Yao arrived at Shen Wancheng's house, she saw Shen Wancheng watching Liu Ma knit baby hats on the second-floor balcony of the villa, and couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Wancheng herself doesn't know how to do these handicrafts, nor is she interested in learning them.
But watching others knit makes her feel relieved.
In particular, Liu Ma's skillful technique, watching the needle and thread crochet in her hands, and seeing it take shape in no time, made Shen Wancheng feel very comfortable.
This might explain why people in later generations can spend hours watching boring short videos on TikTok.
Shen Wancheng saw Shen Yao arrive and said with a smile.
"The sun is shining brightly today, I'll bask in it for a while."
Shen Yao looked at Shen Wancheng, who hesitated several times before finally saying, "Oh, I have the day off today, so I thought I'd come and keep you company, sister."
Shen Wancheng could tell from Shen Yao's expression that this wasn't what she wanted to say.
Shen Wancheng stared at Shen Yao and asked, "What did you come here to tell me?"
When Shen Yao met Shen Wancheng's gaze, she knew that her sister had seen right through her.
But she still didn't ask directly.
"Sis, didn't you watch TV today?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Shen Yao looked as if she had known this all along.
She first gave Shen Wancheng a heads-up.
"No matter what I say, you have to stay calm and not get excited. You're seven or eight months pregnant, so you can't be so easily startled."
Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "What's on TV are all other people's stories, why would I get excited about it?"
"Then I'll say it. I just saw an advertisement on TV. There's an overseas mobile phone brand called Motorola that has officially entered the Hong Kong market and has already started advertising on various TV stations."
"The advertisement even specifically compared it to the Oriental brand mobile phone, saying that it is lighter than the Oriental brand mobile phone, weighing 200 grams less, at only 750 grams."
