Silicon Moonlight was the largest chip packaging and testing factory in the world. The so-called packaging and testing might sound sophisticated and indeed, in the dostic arena, very few had the capability to undertake this task. However, in the entire chip production process, it was relatively the least technical aspect.
Located in an industrial park in the southwest of the Treasure Island, Silicon Moonlight as the world's largest packaging and testing factory boasted annual revenues close to ten billion US dollars. Thus, centering on it, a massive industrial chain group had been established around it.
Of course, due to the problems Silicon Moonlight was facing currently, the surrounding businesses were also in jeopardy. If Silicon Moonlight fell, they would topple as well, and many hoped that the upper echelons of Silicon Moonlight could accept the conditions proposed by the Westerners.
After all, for those pure businessn, true patriots were indeed a minority, and there were other reasons, which those in the know understood; most of them did not entirely consider themselves as people of Huaxia.
Unfamiliar with the area, Liu Qian personally accompanied Zhang nglong today; having a local by his side naturally gave Zhang nglong much more confidence. Although he was now the largest shareholder of Silicon Moonlight, this was, after all, the first ti Zhang nglong had personally co to handle a company's affairs.
From a distance, a massive factory stood by the roadside; rather than calling it a factory, it would perhaps be more fitting to say it was a small town, and the tallest, most magnificent building in the center was the office building of Silicon Moonlight headquarters.
Today, Liu Qian had arranged for a Rolls Royce again, a sight quite rare in this place. The company's security didn't even question them and let them in directly.
Following the elevator from the second underground level, Zhang nglong, Liu Qian, and her female assistant went straight to the corporate building's lobby.
"The atmosphere here is very tense," Zhang nglong observed the surroundings; although people were bustling around in haste, each face bore shades of heaviness and worry.
"Of course, the company is virtually in a life-or-death mont," Liu Qian said. "nglong, didn't you say soone was supposed to et you today? Where are they?"
"Maybe the person doesn't recognize ," Zhang nglong chuckled. Yesterday, when Hong Yi had finalized the purchase of Silicon Moonlight's shares, she had given him a number; this person was supposed to be the forr chairman's secretary.
"I'll give them a call," Zhang nglong dialed the number directly; Hong Yi had told Zhang nglong the ti and place to et, so Zhang nglong had not yet contacted this person.
...
Not far away, a man around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, wearing glasses, was scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for soone.
His na was Xu Huan, the secretary to the chairman of Silicon Moonlight, holding a master's degree from one of the top 10 universities in the world. Truly, having just joined the company in the middle of the year with an annual salary of eight hundred thousand, he should have had a promising future for soone his age.
But unexpectedly, just half a year after his internship ended and he was officially employed, he encountered this issue.
And more bizarrely, yesterday afternoon, a mysterious figure had acquired a majority of the company's shares. The forr chairman told him that all his shareholdings had been transferred and the new chairman would take over today.
But he knew nothing about this new chairman — not the age, na, or even the gender.
What kind of person was the new chairman? How capable? Could the company be revived? These questions had troubled Xu Huan all night.
At that mont, his cellphone suddenly rang; the number was exactly the one the forr chairman had told him about.
"Hello, I am Xu Huan, assistant to the chairman of Silicon Moonlight. May I know who this is?"
"I am the new chairman," Zhang nglong responded.
"Such a young voice!" Xu Huan was startled; the voice was even younger than his by several years.
"Have you arrived? Where are you? I'll co to pick you up right away!" Xu Huan said.
"I'm in the lobby, wearing work pants, a hoodie, and a denim jacket — that's ," Zhang nglong said, "Oh, and I have two ladies with ."
Xu Huan quickly scanned the lobby, and after a mont, he spotted Zhang nglong and the two won near him.
Xu Huan imdiately walked towards Zhang nglong, who also noticed Xu Huan approaching.
"Hello, I am Xu Huan. Are you the trusted chairman?" Xu Huan said respectfully.
"Hello, my na is Zhang nglong."
"Zhang nglong? You are... you're that Zhang nglong?" Xu Huan suddenly lost his composure. He had heard the na and might have seen photos of Zhang nglong, but for most people, the world's wealthiest had no connection with them, so they couldn't rember what he looked like, at best having a vague impression.
"Otherwise, which Zhang nglong would it be?" he said with a laugh, "Am I the only one here to et you?"
Xu Huan's expression changed. Indeed, logically, the change of a company's chairman was a very important event. Normally, all the shareholders should have been there to welco Zhang nglong.
"It seems my arrival isn't very welco!" Zhang nglong narrowed his eyes; his visit today might have upset many people.
"The shareholders are discussing so matters; you know, the company isn't doing well, so today, only I am here to et you," Xu Huan explained, stealing a glance at Zhang nglong, then feeling a bit disappointed.
Zhang nglong might be wealthy, but he was too young. Even though he had beco a shareholder and the company had received a significant amount of funding, as long as the blockade persisted and Huaxia's ability to develop quality Crystal Chips was insufficient, Silicon Moonlight could not be saved—at best, it could struggle on a bit longer.
"Take
to them; I want to et these shareholders first," Zhang nglong said.
"Alright, follow ," Xu Huan responded, leading the way.
"Why is the secretary a man?" Zhang nglong muttered softly.
The elevator stopped on the top floor of the company building, revealing a luxurious and bright corridor, at the end of which was an office exclusive for the directors.
"Hold on!" Zhang nglong stopped Xu Huan, who was about to open the door, as several loud voices were engaged in a heated discussion inside.
"What are you all hesitating for? Their representative said as long as we agree to their conditions, our company can continue operating!"
"Exactly! They said they just won't allow us to do business on the Continent, but on the Treasure Island, we still decide whom to sell to. Even if we can't sell all our chips here, we can still sell to Kaibong, to Qingqiu Country, to the whole world! Why focus solely on the Huaxia Continent market?"
"Gao Feng, are you even Huaxia anymore?" another shareholder suddenly slamd the table and said, "As for , to follow those Westerners, don't even think about it!"
"Xu! Watch how you speak! What do you an by 'those Westerners'? You Easterners do business like crap!"
"There are foreign shareholders as well?" Zhang nglong frowned.
"Mr. Zhang, that's Mr. Infelite, also one of the major shareholders, an Arican. The company's board has eighteen directors, the majority of them foreigners," Xu Huan whispered.
"Right, it's you arrogant Huaxia people who cause the company to suffer losses. Now our country's people are giving you this option, you should learn to be grateful!"
"If you don't agree, then starve with the company!"
"Hmph!" said the shareholder referred to as "Xu," "don't forget, the new chairman of the company is coming today, what you say doesn't count!"
"What about the new chairman?" one Arican shareholder said, "As long as he goes against the interests of the majority, we can still impeach him!"
"Haha, another idiotic chairman from Huaxia, how much did we lose because of the last chairman's obsession with national pride? We are businessn, not Huaxians, what we want is money! Money, you understand? Huaxian?"
"My, my!" Zhang nglong coldly chuckled.
He did not believe these people were unaware of his arrival today; otherwise Xu Huan wouldn't be the only one eting him. These words were very likely ant for him to hear.
Now, it was the Westerners who held the upper hand, confident that this Huaxia chairman would not dare respond even if he heard their words.
Faced with a company close to bankruptcy, who in their right mind would buy its shares? They believed the new chairman would agree to the conditions of the Western delegates, and they needed to give the new chairman a demonstration of their power.
"Bang!" Zhang nglong kicked open the conference room door.
All eyes imdiately focused on the doorway.
Zhang nglong leaned on the conference table with his arms, his expression cold, his eyes narrowed into slits as if he were a sword piercing through each shareholder, "I think I just heard a dog bad-mouthing Huaxians?"
