Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 860 Chen Mo VS Liu Jiaofu

"Mr. Liu, I've heard so much about you!"

"President Chen, seeing is believing! You are indeed a young talent and a man of great appearance!"

Their hands were clasped together, their smiles forced and masking their true feelings.

Although he had already privately called the other person an "old bastard," he still had to maintain proper etiquette in public.

Perhaps it was due to his inner prejudice, but when Chen Mo looked at the other person's deeply lined old face, he couldn't help but think of an animal—an old fox who had cultivated himself into a cunning and sly creature, hiding his treacherousness and shrewdness beneath a gentle exterior.

This was the first time Old Liu had seen Chen Mo up close in an unofficial setting. His first impression was that he was young, extremely young. According to the information, this kid was only thirty-three years old this year, a full forty years younger than himself.

Besides, he was very familiar with the other party's unique temperament—both outwardly sharp and inwardly reserved.

Because he had been through it all, he could see that this kind of sharpness would mature into an even more terrifying power with age, and a hint of unconcealed envy inevitably flashed in his eyes.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sat facing each other, teacups in hand, and an awkward silence fell amidst the rising steam of the tea.

Old Liu was the first to break the silence. For top businessmen of their caliber, time is money, and efficiency is paramount.

So there was no probing at the beginning. He took out a black card from his pocket and slowly pushed it across the table: "This is an overseas anonymous card. The password is the last six digits of the card number. There are 1 million in it. Consider it my way of apologizing on behalf of my daughter."

Seeing that Chen Mo was about to speak, he added, "I know that as the richest man in the world, Mr. Chen is not short of pocket money, but this is our apology and sincerity... I hope you will forgive us for our rudeness."

Chen Mo blew on the foam from his teacup, as if the cards on the table were less appealing than the tea itself. A slight smile played on his lips: "US dollars?"

Old Liu was taken aback by this abrupt change of thought, his expression freezing for a moment: "RMB..."

Slurp slurp
Taking a sip of tea, Chen Mo put down his teacup and joked, "Looks like I was overthinking it. I thought Old Master Liu was used to spending US dollars. I've read the news online and know a bit about what happened, but isn't Old Master Liu worried about sending the wrong gift?"

"Although I am old, my eyesight is still good." Old Liu sighed, his tone becoming more serious. "No matter how my daughter offended you in the past, I beg you to be lenient and let her off the hook."

I know you don't have children yet, and perhaps you don't understand the feelings of a father. Even if she's made a thousand mistakes... in my eyes, she's still just a child.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Mo almost spat out his tea. He couldn't stand hearing things like "Since you're already here," "It's the New Year," "It's not easy for anyone," or "They're still just kids."
Chen Mo's expression instantly transformed into that of an elderly person on the subway.
He racked his brains but couldn't reconcile the image of an old woman nearing menopause with that of a child.
Then Chen Mo deliberately dragged out his words: "Yes, she's just a lawless, unruly child."

"Mr. Chen, you should know me somewhat. Please feel free to state your conditions." Old Liu avoided the main point and went straight to the point.

"The father is responsible for the daughter's debts. You go in, and I'm not going to worry about you anymore."

"...Mr. Chen is joking." Old Liu's eye twitched.

"See? You don't believe me when I tell the truth." Chen Mo shrugged, then changed the subject, "By the way, do you know the result for your daughter?"

"Indefinite sentence..."

Chen Mo sighed, "What a pity."

"Yes, what a pity," Old Liu sighed, clearly misunderstanding the deeper meaning of the sigh.

He pressed his advantage, saying, "I know the previous disagreement was simply a clash of business philosophies, a matter of differing perspectives, but I don't understand why Mr. Chen harbors such malice towards my daughter..."

"Hey—" Chen Mo took out his phone, scrolled through it, and handed over a video.

Old Liu took out his reading glasses from his shirt pocket and saw that it was surveillance footage from the Beijing Ring Road. The trajectory of a large truck in the footage was particularly strange.

"I was sitting in that black Maybach in front of me," Chen Mo said casually.

"What's the problem?" Seeing that the other party wouldn't admit defeat until they were faced with a fatal mistake, Chen Mo switched to the next video.

This is a recorded confession from a man: "...My orders were to send a truck to run over the people in that luxury car in front of me. As for who was inside... I really don't know."

"Could there be a misunderstanding?" Old Liu's voice tightened after listening to the explanation in the recording.

"If you say it's a misunderstanding, then it's a misunderstanding. I don't care."

Old Liu cursed Liu Qing's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart. How dare he keep such a big thing a secret, putting him in such a passive position.

He pulled a second card from his pocket, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Here is 1 million... US dollars. I'm offering this as an apology on behalf of my daughter."

Chen Mo fiddled with the two cards in his hand, then suddenly unleashed a royal flush by slamming them onto the table with a "pia".

"My life is only worth a hundred million US dollars? Then I won't be stingy either. I'll spend a hundred million US dollars to invite your daughter to die willingly, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Old Liu sighed, stood up, straightened the wrinkles in his clothes, and slowly bent his back, lower and lower!
Chen Mo crossed his legs and accepted the gift with ease, but deliberately turned his head away, adopting a coy and reluctant demeanor as if he were receiving a red envelope from a relative during Chinese New Year.
"Oh dear, I haven't even said I forgive you yet, and you're already giving me such a big bow. What's the meaning of this? I don't do this. Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"

"I, Old Liu, have always been a man of principle, and I admit my mistakes." Old Liu straightened up, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"As long as you stop interfering in this matter, I can arrange for Lenovo to cooperate with the other side. There are many things the two companies can do together, and the other side can be involved in all major events..."

Old Liu was just about to make some promises when he was suddenly interrupted by a single sentence from the other party.
"Do you regret it?"

"what?"

"I'm telling you, after all the mistakes you've made, this job you took outside has led to this mess. Do you regret it?"

"What is Mr. Chen saying? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand." Old Liu's face darkened.

Chen Mo stood up. "It's nothing. I have a principle in life—if someone wants my life, I have to be prepared to die, even if it's just an unsuccessful attempt. So, Ms. Liu Qing, I'm afraid you'll have to 'go to your death.'" He paused, then deliberately added fuel to the fire, "Anyway, you have many children. When the time comes, one more or one less will make no difference to see you off."

It's such a pity, why only life imprisonment?

The words "to die" and "to see someone off" pierced Lao Liu's heart like needles.

He had experienced many ups and downs over the decades, but the words of this junior left him with a heavy heart. Old Liu pointed at Chen Mo, too angry to utter a complete sentence: "Chen Mo... hello... hello!"

"Alright, alright, fine!" Chen Mo shrugged. "Don't get upset and hurt yourself, or I won't be able to explain myself. Someone your age likes this kind of thing..."

"Hmph, we'll see about this in the future!"

"I have no problem with it, but I'm afraid you don't have much time left and can't wait."

Fearing he might have a heart attack if he stayed any longer, Old Liu swept the two cards off the table and left.

After walking a few steps, he heard Chen Mo's angry shout from behind.

"Chuanzhi! Chuanzhi! You've lived your whole life, have you even figured out what ambition you've actually made in this life?"

A dozen minutes later, Li Duanfa came in: "Moss, the person has been safely escorted out of the park."

"The security cameras recorded that just now?"

"Yes, I've recorded everything."

"Send me a copy, and have your Uncle Zhang (Zhang Changfa) send someone to keep an eye on this old guy. He needs to be a good one—he's a real old fox."

"Yes!"

When Chen Mo was the only one left in the conference room, the ease on his face vanished instantly, leaving only helplessness.

In their previous lives, the company executives were punished to the fullest extent of the law, each receiving 100 million RMB. However, given their net worth at the time, that was merely a day's pocket money.

The company was fined 80 billion yuan, and its app was removed from major app stores for more than a year, but users who had already downloaded it can still use its services normally.
In the end, the competitors managed to avoid completely defeating them during this period of vulnerability.

After the app was finally relisted, it easily regained its lost ground and once again became a company with a market share of over 70%.

This is a classic case of "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it!"

However, with the help of ride-hailing services like Taxi and Tencent Travel, such a serious problem with the other party is likely to become a thing of the past.

However, after doing so much work, the death sentence and life imprisonment still made Chen Mo feel somewhat frustrated, but he also knew that this was all he could do.

As expected, monsters without powerful backers are all killed, while those with powerful backers live well.

On the other side, Liu Zhong had never seen the old man so angry before; he even took some nitroglycerin.
It's been so many years since I've been this angry.

He's seventy years old, yet he bows to a junior in his thirties, and the junior doesn't even acknowledge it.

Does that brat Chen Mo even realize the significance of his bow?

He has never bowed his head to many people in his life, not even his own father received such treatment!
Do you think he doesn't value his dignity? Ganlin's mother!
As he walked out of the Bi'an Science and Technology Park, Lao Liu turned back for one last look at Bi'an. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, and he no longer had the right to turn back. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
After getting on the bus, Lao Liu took a few minutes to calm down.

Liu Qing must be saved, and it cannot be a death sentence; otherwise, she might develop a death wish and might reveal the information.

Saving his daughter is saving himself.

But getting her out is no easy task, especially with Chen Mo, that vicious dog, in the way.

The current era is no longer the same as his era; even Old Ma is somewhat outdated.

This single-minded approach has now backfired, leaving Lao Liu in a dilemma.

If all else fails, a ruthless glint flashed in Old Liu's eyes!
On August 8, 2017, LX announced the establishment of a 8 billion yuan "National Science and Technology Security Fund" to provide targeted support for "bottleneck" areas such as chips and operating systems. The funds are officially supervised and disclosed annually.

On August 10, LX Research Institute donated its core technologies, including 5G patents and server technology, to relevant departments free of charge.

Behind the publicly disclosed information is that Lao Liu voluntarily submitted some materials and accepted a huge fine.

On August 12, LX Holdings issued an announcement stating that the group's chairman had officially stepped down and withdrawn from the company's management. The successor is the senior vice president and chief financial officer, while the CEO will remain in his position.

These successive moves have caused an earthquake in the industry. This resignation is seen as a sign that LX has completed the "generational transition". Some people think it is due to the influence of certain recent events and public opinion. Some say it is a "wise retirement", while others say it has led to countless speculations from the public, with various versions emerging one after another.

On the same day, Zhang Bo was taken away by the relevant authorities for investigation, leaving the company leaderless and in chaos.

Just three days after the high-level reshuffle, on August 15, a plane carrying the eldest son of the Liu family flew abroad.

Meanwhile, a closed-door trial is drawing to a close.

With a "crack," the hammer came down!

"All rise!"
