Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 134 Mr. Xu is here and mentions raising seafood

When everyone heard this, their expressions varied.

Ge Jing couldn't help but ask, "Advisor Park, what do you mean by this? The other party has made such a big fuss and held such a high-profile press conference. Could it be that the product announced is fake?"

Park Zhenghao shrugged and said, "Mr. Ge, it's normal if it's fake."

"How to say?"

"Mr. He, there is news online that Huayao did not release a media machine before the press conference, and there was no sample experience session after the press conference. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Ge Jing fell into deep thought.

I have to say, this is indeed very strange.

Generally speaking, when mobile phone manufacturers release new mobile phones, they must at least have prototypes.

This time it didn't happen, obviously Huayao was not ready yet.

Ge Jing said: "Just because they don't have a prototype now doesn't mean they won't have one in the future."

Park Zhenghao smiled slightly and said, "Boss Ge, I am sure that there will be no chips in the future, because they simply don't have any chips to use."

Ge Jing looked at the other executives and asked, "What do others think? Do you think Huayao is just joking or is it real?"

Several executives spoke.

"I think what Advisor Park said makes sense. Huayao's move is indeed very fake."

"I agree. If Huayao can really launch the P30 normally, why is there no prototype, not even a media model? It's obviously a false alarm."

"Mr. Ge, I think Huayao has run out of tricks and it is impossible for it to release the P30 phone."

Almost all executives agreed with Park Zhenghao's opinion.

Ge Jing's uneasy mood finally calmed down a little, and her back straightened up.

To be honest, the large-scale release of Huayao Mate 20 some time ago caused a lot of trouble for Apple, and the sales of Apple phones in China dropped significantly.

After finally waiting for Huayao to stop selling mate 20, the P30 was immediately released in advance.

Ge Jing almost fainted from anger.

Ge Jing thought for a moment and said, "But Huayao also announced at the press conference that the pre-order for the P30 phone will be opened now, and the official release will be at the end of the month. Will they have the product ready by the end of the month?"

Park Zhenghao still shook his head: "Boss Ge, I think they are just delaying tactics."

"...Hmm? A delaying tactic?"

"Yes, aren't the Chinese used to using this kind of tactics? The situation is not favorable to them now. They should just be buying time. Maybe they are actively taking action. They hope to hold on until the end of the month so that Eagle Power can lift the ban on chip supply."

Ge Jing laughed: "That's impossible, absolutely impossible."

As the president of the fruit company in China, Ge Jing certainly knew some inside information.

There is no way Eagle Force will let Hua Yao go. There is not even a shred of room for negotiation.

Only the dead Huayao can be considered a good company.

Ge Jing finally said, "Okay, I understand. Let's adjourn the meeting and have some rest."

The executives of the fruit companies finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Frankly speaking, they were very unhappy about having to work overtime this time, but there was nothing they could do. They really had a problem, and it would be unreasonable not to work overtime to discuss countermeasures.

Besides, there’s nothing wrong with working overtime occasionally, it can be used as a way to spice up your life.

After everyone left, Xun Jing thought about it and decided to write an email to the fruit headquarters on the other side of the ocean.

He explained the situation here and gave his own judgment, and also stated that the company does not need to make any response at present, and the threat of Huayao P30 is not great.

The next day, early in the morning, we checked into the Oriental Huazhu Hotel.

Guo Zongzheng came out of the room, went to the fifth floor, and came to the restaurant door to prepare for breakfast.

Guo Zongzheng was invited to attend Huayao's new product launch conference, so he naturally stayed here.

In fact, Guo Zongzheng doesn’t really like to have breakfast in the hotel. He would rather order a set meal, eat in the room, and enjoy a comfortable and leisurely life.

But not today, Guo Zongzheng has important things to do.

The hotel's restaurant is very large and offers a wide variety of food. Almost all major dishes from countries around the world are available and the quality is very high.

You know, these are all five-star hotel standards. You can eat well and fill your stomach, and the food looks pleasing to the eye.

To put it simply, it has color, aroma and taste.

At this time, there were already quite a few people in the restaurant having breakfast, most of them were media people and guests attending Huayao's new product launch conference.

Guo Zongzheng is also one of the guests and is quite famous.

After all, Guo Zongzheng is the son of the Red Sea Group and is well-known in the industry.

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Zongzheng walked into the restaurant, someone greeted him.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, this way!"

It turned out that a digital media person recognized Guo Zongzheng and was waving at him.

That digital media person was none other than Zhong Zhe.

As mentioned earlier, Zhong Zhe is a huge Apple fan and has participated in many events held by the Apple company.

Zhong Zhe had also visited the Red Sea Group's production line and met Guo Zongzheng several times.

Guo Zongzheng walked over with an elegant and confident step.

Zhong Zhe said: "Mr. Guo, please sit over here."

Guo Zongzheng nodded and sat down.

Several other digital media people who were with Zhong Zhe also greeted Guo Zongzheng.

Lao Bai and Guan are here too.

For these digital media people, Guo Zongzheng is a real big shot, a super rich second generation, and a rich second generation with certain real power.

Zhong Zhe said, "Mr. Guo, what would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

Guo Zongzheng said, "No need for food, just go get me a cup of coffee without sugar or milk."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Everyone looked at each other and had to say that Zhong Zhe was a really good man who could bend and stretch his body as he pleased.

A moment later, Zhong Zhe brought the coffee over.

Guo Dongzheng took a sip, frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay, but a little sour."

Zhong Zhe smiled sheepishly: "Of course it's not as good as the coffee you usually drink, Mr. Guo."

Guo Zongzheng did not comment on the flattery, looked at the others, and asked, "What do you think of Huayao's press conference yesterday?"

Everyone looked at each other.

This question is really hard to answer.

To say that Huayao's new product launch conference was very well done was indeed true, with a grand scale and a grand format, but the problem is that the regrets were also huge.

Although Wang Chengdong took out the real P30 at the press conference and amazed the audience, there was no media experience session afterwards.

Not to mention the media machine provided to the media for testing, which was also completely missing.

Zhong Zhe said: "Mr. Guo, this is really hard to answer. I can only say that there is a surprise, but it is not that big."

Guo Zongzheng said calmly: "Oh, is it because you haven't touched the real machine?"

Zhong Zhe nodded.

Lao Bai, A Guan and others nodded in agreement.

Although it’s not a good thing to say, it’s also true.

Guo Zongzheng then asked: "Then where do you think the problem lies? Why didn't Huayao provide you with a media machine?"

The others were silent for a moment.

Guo Zongzheng asked Zhong Zhe: "Zhong Zhe, what do you think is the reason?"

Zhong Zhe hesitated for a moment and replied, "I think Huayao may not have the chip ready yet."

Guo Zongzheng said calmly: "Do you think Huayao's chip can be ready? When can it be done?"

"This... is hard to say."

Zhong Ze really didn't dare to say what was in his mind. The fact was that he believed Huayao was not ready for the processor chip for the P30.

The so-called Kirin 990+ may just be a pie in the sky that Huayao painted for others.

The IC design of the chip definitely exists, but it cannot be mass-produced.

The reason is well known. Under such circumstances, no wafer foundry dares to manufacture chips for Huayao.

Guo Zongzheng smiled slightly. He had no intention of getting any useful information from them.

They are just ordinary digital self-media bloggers. They have some gossip, but they don’t have access to any core secrets.

"Ah, it's him..."

I just heard A Guan couldn't help but shout out.

Lao Bai asked: "Who?"

A Guan pointed at a person not far away.

The man was sitting and eating, enjoying his food slowly and leisurely, elegantly and leisurely, very charming.

This person is none other than Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan had just arrived at the restaurant. He picked up his plate, selected something and started eating.

The key point is that Hu Jiangshan was indeed hungry. He didn’t eat much last night and just chatted with Wang Chengdong about this and that.

When Guo Zongzheng saw Hu Jiangshan, he was stunned. This man had appeared before him yesterday.

Guo Zongzheng asked: "Who is he?"

Zhong Zhe replied: "We don't know him, but we saw that Mr. Wang had a good relationship with him yesterday."

"Ah? Mr. Wang? Wang Chengdong?"

"Correct."

Guo Zongzheng was a little surprised.

"Why does Wang Chengdong have such a good relationship with this person? Are you sure you have never met him before?"

"Not really."

"Didn't you ask about his identity?"

Zhong Zhe shook his head: "There's no place to ask, but we think it might be a technical expert from Huayao Company or something."

Guo Zongzheng looked at Hu Jiangshan again and said, "A technician? You don't look like one. Aren't technicians usually sloppy?"

Hu Jiangshan looks handsome and tidy, and he certainly doesn't look like a purely technical workaholic.

Of course, that’s also a stereotype.

Technical experts are not necessarily sloppy and unkempt; there are many who are fashionable and clean.

Guo Zongzheng showed no interest in Hu Jiangshan. After all, his purpose was to gather information related to chips, and nothing else mattered.

Therefore, Guo Zongzheng needs to contact the core people of Huayao Company.

Lao Bai suddenly said, "Ah, is that Mr. Xu here?"

Guo Zongzheng looked back at the restaurant entrance and smiled.

Damn, the target is here.

The so-called Mr. Xu is none other than Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huayao.

Everyone was surprised that Xu Zhijun was also here.

I didn’t see Xu Zhijun at the new product launch yesterday, and I thought he wasn’t coming.

Although Xu Zhijun's exposure is not as high as Wang Chengdong's, he is also very well-known in the circle.

And people who know Huayao also know that Xu Zhijun is actually one level higher than Wang Chengdong in position.

Moreover, Xu Zhijun is also one of the three giants of Huayao and a general under Ren Yunfei. He may be a more important figure than Wang Chengdong.

Such a person certainly knows Huayao’s most core secrets.

Guo Zongzhen stood up, walked forward and greeted Xu Zhijun.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see."

When Xu Zhijun saw Guo Zongzhen, he shook hands with him politely and exchanged a few words.

Guo Zongzheng said, "Mr. Xu, it's rare for us to meet each other, let's eat together and chat while we eat."

Of course, it was difficult for Xu Zhijun to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a place to have breakfast together."

At the same time, Zhong Zhe, Lao Bai, A Guan and others watched the two big shots communicating and also had an urge to go up.

Everyone said to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, do you want to ask Mr. Xu when we can get our hands on the real P30?" Lao Bai waved his hands quickly: "Don't make a fuss, how can you tell me this?"

Zhong Zhe chuckled: "Of course I have to tell you, you are not the pollen leader."

Lao Bai is indeed a pollen leader, but he would not go up to Xu Zhijun and ask him all kinds of questions. What if Xu Zhijun is not good at answering? Wouldn’t that be annoying?

I saw Guo Zongzheng and Xu Zhijun walking towards this side.

Hu Jiangshan had heard Xu Zhijun's voice a long time ago, and now he smiled and waved at him.

Xu Zhijun was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Hey, Brother Hu, you are here too."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Xu Zhijun said: "That's great, let's eat together."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Okay."

Guo Zongzheng was very surprised.

I didn't expect that Xu Zhijun was so familiar with this person.

I heard from Zhong Zhe and others that this person has a very good relationship with Wang Chengdong.

Is this guy named Brother Hu really a technical expert?

No matter how big a boss is, it is impossible for him to get along well with the two top executives of Huayao.

The three of them sat opposite each other.

Guo Zongzheng asked calmly: "Boss Xu, who is this..."

Xu Zhijun said "ah" for a moment: "He, Brother Hu Jiangshan, don't you know him?"

"...Hu Jiangshan?"

Guo Zongzheng looked thoughtful.

It’s true, Guo Zongzheng seemed to have heard of this name, but he forgot where he heard it.

Xu Zhijun added: "The Hu family in Hong Kong Island, the grandson of Mr. Hu Yingxiang, Hu Jiangshan."

Guo Zongzheng widened his eyes and looked at Hu Jiangshan carefully with an incredible look.

"You, ah, damn, you are from the Hu family of Hong Kong Island."

Xu Zhijun said: "This is Guo Zongzheng, the son of the Red Sea Group."

Hu Jiangshan nodded. So that's why. He is Guo Taiyuan's son. No wonder he speaks with a distinct Island Bay accent.

Hu Jiangshan greeted Guo Zongzheng politely.

Guo Zongzheng obviously never thought that this person was actually from the Hu family.

Guo Zongzhen remembered a lot of things. He had heard of this Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan's deeds are so fascinating that they are often used by wealthy families to educate their children.

Tell them that if they don’t work hard, they will become a loser like Hu Yingxiang’s grandson, who is uneducated and unskilled.

But looking at Hu Jiangshan now, it is completely different.

Not only does he not look like a prodigal son, he doesn't even look like a dandy.

Hu Jiangshan is calm and composed, and seems like an elite figure.

How could such a person be associated with the name "Hu Jiangshan"?
It's really off the mark.

Is there some inside story?
Guo Zongzheng's heart moved, and he asked calmly: "Mr. Hu, are you also here to attend Huayao's new product launch conference?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, I am honored to be invited to attend the press conference."

"This one……"

Guo Zongzheng looked at Xu Zhijun and said, "As far as I know, the Hu family should not have any business dealings with Huayao, right?"

Xu Zhijun was stunned at first, then replied with a smile: "Mr. Guo, we do have business dealings."

"Ah? What business?"

"One is that several of our Huayao projects were handed over to the Hu family."

"Engineering, that's what it is."

The Hu family has real estate business, so it makes sense for them to do Huayao's projects.

But Guo Zongzheng always felt something was weird. There should be many better options than the Hu family, so why should he choose the Hu family?
It's totally unrelated.

But Guo Zongzheng still said: "No wonder, there are other businesses?"

"Also, we plan to cooperate with the Hu family for a long time to purchase fish."

"..."

Guo Zongzheng was stunned after hearing this.

"Fish? Is that the kind of fish we eat?"

"Yes, sea fish, seafood and the like. Mr. Guo, you don't know, right? Brother Hu opened a fishery and raised seafood."

Guo Zongzheng was stunned and speechless.

Hu Jiangshan has a headache.

Here it comes again. Now when Hu Jiangshan mentions the fish farm, he feels helpless.

I didn't expect that a casual remark like that would cause so much trouble.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a good cover.

After all, Hu bought an island on the river, so it makes sense to raise fish there.

Guo Zongzheng asked: "Boss Xu, I'm a little curious, why did Huayao buy fish?"

"Process it into canned fish and then sell it."

Guo Zongzheng's eyes widened: "...selling canned fish?"

"Yes, Mr. Guo, didn't you notice? We also sell steaks and red wine on our Huayao official website. Recently, we found that canned fish sells better, so we need a lot of fresh and high-quality fish. Brother Hu happened to be able to provide it, so we established a cooperative relationship."

Hu Jiangshan even wanted to secretly give Xu Zhijun a thumbs up.

Absolutely, it’s absolutely amazing.

Although it sounds ridiculous, people who know Huayao know that Huayao’s official website really sells everything.

There are steaks, red wine, and even food.

These are all imported goods from overseas.

There's nothing strange about adding a can of fish now.

Although Guo Zongzheng still felt puzzled, he more or less accepted this explanation.

At this time, Guo Zongzheng asked: "Mr. Xu, when can I buy the P30 phone after the press conference?"

Xu Zhijun smiled and said, "It will be available at the end of the month."

"Ah, it's pretty fast."

“Of course, we are actively stocking up.”

Guo Zongzheng didn't expect Xu Zhijun to answer so readily. He originally thought that this question was difficult to answer.

Like other people's speculation, Guo Zongzheng doesn't think that the P30 phone can be mass-produced at all, and it would be good if he could produce a few hundred units.

Guo Zongzheng asked again: "By the way, the P30 phone uses the Kirin 990+?"

“Yes, it’s an improved version of Kirin 990, but the performance has been greatly improved, which is a big surprise.”

Guo Zongzheng's expression was dull, and for a moment he didn't know whether what Xu Zhijun said was true or false.

But in theory, a leader of Xu Zhijun's stature should not speak without thinking.

But if you ask him if it's true, Guo Zongzheng just can't believe it.

It's really contradictory.

But now that Xu Zhijun has said so, Guo Zongzheng can no longer ask, because he is not that short-sighted.

After a while, Guo Zongzhen left first, leaving only Xu Zhijun and Hu Jiangshan.

Xu Zhijun said, "Brother Hu, how are the fish you raise over there?"

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Xu Zhijun, smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes I really don't know whether you are talking about fish or something else."

Xu Zhijun took a sip of coffee and said, "I'm not talking about fish."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "It's going smoothly now. I mentioned to Mr. Wang yesterday that I can pay 100 million next week."

Xu Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. We originally wanted to ask you for some goods in advance, but after thinking about it, we decided to give you a time difference. After all, there are too many people watching us now, and we may be sabotaged."

Hu Jiangshan expressed his understanding that the other party would do anything to achieve their goals and we must be on guard.

There are many tough battles to fight next.

Delivering one million chips next week will mean the production of one million P30 phones.

It will be officially released at the end of the month, and the scene will surely be terrifying.

There will definitely be a situation where the machine is hard to come by and you will have to pay a higher price to buy it.

At this time, Xu Zhijun whispered: "Brother Hu, if you really raise fish, Huayao can really buy it."

"……Um?"

At night, stay at the Oriental Hua Hotel, in a luxurious suite.

Guo Zongzheng was holding a goblet, frowning.

He was obviously thinking about something important.

Just then, the cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Father】

It turned out that it was Guo Taiyuan who called.

You have to answer your dad’s call.

"Hey, Dad."

"Zong Zheng, how was yesterday? Did you get any news?"

Guo Zongzheng replied: "Dad, not yet. I contacted Xu Zhijun, and he kept his mouth shut and did not reveal any information about the chip."

"Some people say that Huayao's announcement of the P30 is a fake move and the P30 cannot be mass-produced at all."

"Yes, there is such a saying, and it is very likely."

"What did Xu Zhijun say? Did you ask?"

"I asked him indirectly, and he said the P30 phone will be officially released at the end of the month."

"The end of the month? The end of the month is fine?"

“Yes, and it is equipped with the new Kirin chip.”

"……How can this be?"

Guo Zongzheng said: "Dad, I also think it's impossible, but that's what he said, and he doesn't look like he's lying."

Guo Taiyuan fell silent, apparently thinking about something.

After a long while, Guo Taiyuan slowly said, "Keep asking around and try to get as much inside information as possible."

"okay, I get it."

"Try to be careful not to reveal your purpose."

"I see. Oh, there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"I ran into the Hu family this morning while having breakfast at the hotel."

"Hu family? Which Hu family?"

"The Hu family from Hong Kong Island."

Guo Taiyuan immediately said, "Hu Yingxiang?"

"Yes, it's Hu Jiangshan, the grandson of Hu Yingxiang. He's here too."

This obviously caught Guo Taiyuan's attention: "Why is he here? Is it a coincidence, or is he here to attend Huayao's new product launch?"

"He is here to attend the new product launch."

"Strange, what is the relationship between the Hu family and Huayao? Why did they invite him over?"

Guo Zongzheng repeated the reasons given by Xu Zhijun.

Guo Taiyuan was very confused, but he couldn't say anything because he had no idea at all.
