Chapter 245: The Golden Bell at Home, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket for Outsiders

Wang Qi knew very little about the company's business. After all, the gap period was too long, so he wanted to hear the opinions of other colleagues first.

Moreover, his professional scope does not include technology, and he has no idea about the specific business.

I've been getting to know them slowly over the past few days, and I've been hearing everyone talking about the Tathagata Palm plan.

But he had no idea what it was exactly.

Since the boss asked him to say something, he could only stand on his own position and express some views on the current capital market and the emergency situations of domestic and foreign markets.

“I’m still keeping my guard up.”

"The situation within our group is not optimistic, especially in terms of capital."

"The Tathagata Palm project cost too much money, far exceeding our previous scale."

He doesn't understand technology, but he knows a lot about money.

No matter what Tathagata Palm is doing, he must be a money-eating beast.

Good guy.

The scale is three times larger than the previous three-stage network.

The most important thing is that this thing cost so much money before it reached the experimental stage.

To know.

Previously, whether it was the Twin-Tailed Scorpion or the Three-Body Project, with so much money, the production line would have already reached the stage where sparks were coming out.

I hope there won’t be any unexpected problems in future experiments.

In case of an accident.

If the timeline of the entire project is extended any longer, the funding chain may be broken.

Zhang Mingrui could not empathize with Wang Qi's worries: "Money is not a problem. Even if we take a step back, we still have President Wei to support us."

Without waiting for Wang Qi to reply, Chen Chen was the first to retort: ​​"If you want to retreat, you should retreat to your own home. Why would you retreat to General Ren Wei's home?"

These guys are used to a good life, so whenever there is a problem with money, the first person they think of is Wei Xiao.

It would have been fine if they had had this kind of thought in the previous projects.

How can he have the nerve to use Tathagata Palm?
I poached Mr. Wei's team and started a completely own project.

If something goes wrong, President Wei will have to clean up the mess.

Even Chen Chen couldn't bring himself to do that.

So he knocked on the table to set the record straight: "You are used to being supported by others and don't know what hard work means. Even if there is something wrong with the Tathagata Palm project, you can't drag others along."

"Don't you feel like you're looking in a mirror?"

Zhang Mingrui looked at Chen Chen dimly without saying anything.

Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps, right?
Wang Qi was still relatively mature and steady, so he did not join in the jokes and said seriously:
"In fact, life is not easy over there either."

Zhang Mingrui was puzzled: "Isn't their stock price rising quite well?"

"That was a thing of the past. The current capital market is not particularly stable and has shrunk dramatically."

"On the one hand, the US has been holding back on raising interest rates, which has left us with very poor liquidity."

"On the other hand, there is the situation that General Wei just mentioned. There are wars everywhere and everyone is seeking safe havens."

"As the capital market shrinks, Shunfeng needs to find a way to stabilize its core business."

"If something goes wrong again at this time, it won't be a question of whether they will help us or not, but whether we will cause trouble for others."

Wang Qi said a few words and everyone fell silent. Suddenly, they felt a sense of crisis.

In fact, Morning Shield's main business is doing well and is progressing steadily.

But in the global market, no one can be immune to it and everyone has to consider the environment.

Everyone was eating hot pot, singing songs, and walking on the smooth road.

If you are not careful, Wang Qi will say that this is a dead end and there is no turning back, which is a bit creepy.

Wei Xiu felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it: "It's not that scary, it's as if you're saying we can't survive."

"It's not that we can't afford to live, it's that it's hard for everyone to live."

"Raising interest rates is like holding back urine. They keep raising rates and it's great, but they can't live with it anymore. But we have to live with it."

"The money is all with them, and there's no way to get it back."

"The US will hold another meeting on the 8th of this month, and it is estimated that interest rates will still be raised at that time."

"So I think the risk is still very high and we need to take precautions."

Chen Chen suddenly looked up: "Why are you telling me this?"

"Didn't you ask me to speak?"

"I asked you to speak, not to criticize. Money matters are your job, so you can handle them. I don't understand them anyway."

Zhang Mingrui felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he quickly changed the topic: "There's no need to be so pessimistic. The Tathagata Palm project is going very smoothly. Since everyone is here, let's set a date together."

After he finished speaking, the others nodded, pretending to be relaxed.

It is true that external risks exist, but Morningside has not made any mistakes recently.

In fact.

The progress of Tathagata Palm is faster than expected. As long as I complete it with quality and quantity and make sure I don't make any mistakes, I should be able to stay out of trouble.

However, they knew they had little say in matters as important as the launch date.

So they all turned their heads and looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen didn't seem to think about it at all, and blurted out: "There is no technical problem. I have also contacted the launch site and the troops to provide assistance. Let's set it on the 8th of this month."

"Okay, I'll arrange it on the 8th." Zhang Mingrui also thought it was okay. "Should we notify Shunfeng?"

"No need for that. She'll be upset even if she knows."

Wang Qi looked at Chen Chen's thoughtful expression and unconsciously gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

What a good man!

Tathagata Palm is the recent focus of Morning Shield, so it naturally concerns President Wei, who is full of expectations.

But it's just an experiment after all, and there's no sign of success yet.

If she calls Mr. Wei over, she can easily open the champagne in advance.

If there is any mistake at that time, she will easily break down the defense.

Chen Chen probably wanted to handle the enormous pressure of the experiment by himself, and then report the good news to President Wei when there were good results.

How can there be any quiet time?
It's just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

Chen Chen sneezed a few times, thinking he had a cold, and never thought that someone was silently flattering him behind his back.

His original intention of not wanting Wei Xiao to come to the launch was also for her own good.

But the starting point is different.

The Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara and Tathagata Palm projects were launched at the same time.

Yan Tao was also the helmsman that Wei Xiao had strongly favored.

But he was intercepted by Chen Chen.

Later, Thousand-Armed Guanyin made faster progress, launched first, and failed first.

Although the progress of Tathagata Palm was slow, Chen Chen was very confident that the possibility of failure was low.

When comparing the two projects, the difference becomes apparent.

As Wei Xiao watched the Tathagata Palm successfully launch into space, he must have been thinking, they are both rockets, why is there such a big difference?

By then it will break into pieces more completely, and it will be difficult to glue it together.

and so.

Chen Chen did this to protect himself.

Try it first. If it succeeds, you can just mention it calmly later. There's no need to rub salt into her wounds.

……

at the same time.

The headquarters of Shanghai Huawei Group.

Wei Xiao appeared in the building.

This time she did not appear as the chairman of Shunfeng, but served as the vice chairman and interim chairman for the first time.

This can be considered a test from the old man.

Over the past period of time, she has been handling Huawei's business as the vice chairman and her performance has been remarkable.

Gradually, he gained recognition from other senior executives and his internal status improved.

The old man felt that it was time for her to take charge and handle some more important matters.

Take the current negotiation for example.

Three foreign investors were sitting in the conference room, their expressions were grim. "Ms. Wei, Huawei Group's business focus seems to have deviated from its original path, which is far from what we expected when we invested."

Wei Yang, the second-in-command, looked at the foreign investment representatives sharply: "What about profits? Is there a big difference in profits?"

After two hours of negotiation, Wei Yang had completely lost his patience.

She finally understood it completely.

The reasons these people give are just bullshit, their only purpose is to withdraw their investment.

Business bias and market risk are all bullshit.

As an investor, shouldn’t the only criterion be return?

In such a shrinking market, Huawei still provides them with reliable returns.

It can even be said to be generous!
Looking at the entire global market, which other company can do this?
Faced with the silence of foreign capital, Wei Xiao also figured it out.

"So, you want to leave at this time, not because of business activities, but for other purposes?"

The representative waved his hands hurriedly, saying one thing after another and couldn't even come up with a reason.

Wei Xiao looked at the three people.

I just feel like laughing.

"Since you want to leave, it is your freedom. We have tried to keep you. We can only say that everyone has their own aspirations."

"But out of curiosity, I wanted to ask."

"After you leave Huawei, where is your destination?"

The representatives looked at each other, thinking that this question could be answered, so they said, "The North American market, but there is one thing I want to explain to President Wei. We are leaving not because we are not optimistic about Huawei, but because we are simply not optimistic about the market here. With the situation so turbulent, our only choice is to go back for risk aversion."

"hehe."

Wei Xiao stretched out her hand and pointed outside the door.

"I respect your choice. Please leave."

The representatives were confused.

They thought that the negotiations to withdraw funds would be protracted, after all, the two sides had been cooperating for quite some time.

You still have to save face on the surface.

did not expect.

Wei Xiao almost asked them to leave by ordering them to leave.

The representatives wanted to make some hypocritical explanations, but when Wei Xiao saw that they were not leaving, he just stood up.

Wei Yang understood immediately, picked up his backpack and followed his sister.

Only three representatives were left in the conference room, at a loss as to what to do, feeling that the script was wrong.

This is just like a bad girl breaking up with someone.

Capital is the advantage, so I stand on the side of the scumbag.

And Hua Wei should be the one who is bootlicking.

When a bad girl proposes to break up, she really wants to break up.

Can!
Although I proposed to break up, why didn't you try to keep me?

Don't you love me?
"Don't worry, sweetheart. They're not targeting you personally."

Wei Yang was not worried about the outcome of the negotiations just now.

Although capital is important.

But the old man had said in advance: "It will rain, and my mother needs her family. The initiative is not in our hands. Just do your best."

Therefore, Wei Yang did not feel guilty for failing to retain capital.

She cared more about Wei Xiao's feelings.

After all, this was the first major matter she had handled for the group since she took over as the head.

The result ended in failure.

Moreover, the appearance of these foreign investors leaving seems to be voting with their feet.

Everything was fine when the old man was around.

As soon as Wei Xiao arrived, everyone gathered together and left.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like someone is pointing at Wei Xiao's nose and saying - you can't do it.

Wei Xiao was very relaxed: "If they were targeting me personally, I really wouldn't be able to say anything."

"Are you in such a good mood?"

"It has nothing to do with my mentality. I feel like they are intentionally crashing the market this time." Wei Xiao thought more deeply.

"How to say?"

"It's not just Huawei. Some foreign investors also left Shunfeng, and they did so very quickly, as if they were ordered to do so."

Having said this, Wei Yang thought back to his own Huawei Pharmaceutical, which seemed to have similar signs.

"Indeed...but there haven't been any major changes in our domestic market. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is it because of the interest rate hike?"

Wei Xiao shook her head: "There are reasons in this regard, but I always feel that it is not the only reason. The interest rate hike has not happened overnight. Even these old friends of Hua Wei are running away. There must be more important reasons than this."

"In that case, they must have sensed a serious risk and returned to avoid danger."

After Wei Yang finished speaking, he began to doubt his own opinion.

Because she couldn't find any risks.

The domestic market is not very good, and the key is that the outside market is even worse.

Wei Xiao didn't think any more about it: "Just avoid it, just avoid it. Our difficulties will only last for a while, it doesn't mean that their situation is that good."

"In troubled times, think more and be more vigilant."

For something that is beyond his own ability, Wei Yang can only comfort himself with chicken soup.

Come to think of it, my little darling is a bit unlucky.

He had just taken on the responsibility of Huawei and happened to encounter a hellish market.

Capital is shrinking and mass consumption is shrinking.

More than a dozen sectors under Huawei are all on the decline.

Even Wei Xiao's own forte - tailwind - encountered considerable setbacks.

You can imagine the pressure on the little darling.

"That project you and Miaoyin worked on must have had a big impact on you, right?"

"It's okay." Wei Xiao felt that it was nothing.

"Don't be so stubborn. Such a huge investment was blown to pieces. Anyone who sees it will be numb. I'm your sister. You should speak up. Don't hold it in."

"It's really okay. I'm fine."

Wei Xiao opened her eyes wide, showing no frustration or pressure at all.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yang's heart was filled with relief.

Think about it too.

I have underestimated my little darling.

In the past, he was the apple of the family's eye and the little cotton-padded jacket of the family.

The elders have to protect him.

But now.

He has become a capable person on his own and has not only brought Shunfeng to new heights, but has also taken over as the de facto head of the family.

Even though he had just taken office and encountered a hellish start with foreign investment withdrawing.

Her mentality was not affected and she was able to maintain independent thinking.

"You used to be my little cotton-padded jacket, but now you are going to be my family's golden bell." Wei Yang patted her shoulder. "Come have dinner with me tonight."

Wei Xiao refused without even thinking: "No, I will go find Chen Chen."

"It won't matter one day."

"Hmm~" Wei Xiao shook his head like a shaking dog. "Hua Wei is seriously injured, and Chen Dun is in even greater danger. I have to help him with some advice."

"..."

Wei Yang felt very jealous.

It’s too late to talk.

It’s true that the family is strong, but who knows whose little cotton-padded jacket it is.

Chen Chen is considered to have found a treasure.
