Chapter 79: It’s All Your Fault
Linhai Airport, entry point.
Jin Qiaoying was still wearing that white women’s suit, appearing here with sunglasses on.
And opposite her, the aged Jin Zhiyong, his already turbid eyes were fixed tightly on her, full of expectation in his gaze.
“Qiaoying, now only you, only you can mediate for us San Xin from the middle. As long as you can make a suggestion to Great Xia in your capacity as General Manager of Xinghai, Great Xia will surely lift the sanctions against us San Xin.”
Jin Qiaoying took off her sunglasses, her phoenix eyes looking at this grandfather who had always been neither warm nor cold toward her since childhood with no emotion, unable to muster any sympathy from the bottom of her heart.
“Qiaoying, I know the Jin Family has wronged you, but you are still a member of the Jin Family after all, with the Jin Family’s blood flowing in your veins. At this time, only you can save San Xin. Oh, and after this matter is over, I will make the decision to bury your mother’s ashes together with your father.”
She could clearly see that when Jin Zhiyong said the last sentence, the flash of disgust in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
“What about Jin Ze?”
She didn’t answer directly, but instead asked about that younger brother from the same father but different mother.
Jin Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, a miserable expression appearing on his face as he said: “At home, this matter has hit him too hard. It’s all my fault for not stopping him at the time, letting him act impulsively, which led to San Xin Group reaching its current state.”
Hearing this, Jin Qiaoying, who normally had a very good temper, couldn’t help but raise her voice at this moment for some reason.
“Even now, don’t you know? Jin Ze grew up following you since childhood. His current actions are influenced by you. Who was it that kept instilling White Alliance ideals into him every day? It was you!
Don’t think I don’t know, deep down you look down on Great Xia at all. Although you have always shown extreme enthusiasm in investments toward Great Xia, it’s all for interests!
Without your acquiescence, how could Jin Ze, a newly appointed Chairman, suppress the voices of the other directors and forcibly dominate this series of measures targeting our Xinghai.”
A rare angry expression appeared on Jin Qiaoying’s face, her chest heaving violently.
She knew this grandfather very well; without his acquiescence, there wouldn’t be San Xin’s current situation today.
She was also a Jin Family member; to say she had no feelings at all for San Xin was impossible. Seeing the former multinational giant company’s boss now reduced to being shut out by another country, how could she not feel regret for it.
And the culprit was precisely this grandfather in front of her who was pushing all the responsibility onto his grandson.
Jin Zhiyong, rebuked mercilessly by her, couldn’t help but sway in place with his aged body, his face instantly turning extremely pale.
“It’s me! So what if it’s me, don’t forget that the Jin Family’s blo”
“Jin Family’s blood? So what? What I owed the Jin Family was already fully repaid back when I was the Great Xia District Manager.
Also!
Don’t think about using my mother’s matter to threaten me again!
Grandfather, listen to my advice: go back and open your eyes to take a good look. Look at Great Xia today; it’s not as backward as you imagine.”
Jin Qiaoying put on her sunglasses, leaving no promise to Jin Zhiyong, and quickly walked outward.
She was afraid that if she stayed longer, she couldn’t help saying even harsher words to this direct-line elder of hers.
Xinghai Reception Room.
The three giants in the chip field were gathered here.
On her way back, Jin Qiaoying touched up her makeup, standing at the door and taking a deep breath. That originally somewhat dejected beautiful face once again restored its usual cold and glamorous appearance.
Pushing the door and entering, the three chairmen who were usually high above instantly stood up to welcome her.
Jin Qiaoying’s ears heard their amicable, even somewhat flattering greetings, and for a moment she felt a bit dazed.
Wasn’t this the status that Grandfather Jin Zhiyong had pursued all his life?
Yet now it was laughably and realistically happening to her.
After a round of pleasantries, Kuke, who couldn’t hold back any longer, spoke first.
“General Manager Jin, isn’t the overseas selling price of the chip previously released by Xinghai too high? We Apple have 90% of our factories in Great Xia, so in a sense, it’s actually no different from Great Xia’s domestic products.”
After he said this, Domenis and Susan couldn’t help but spit privately.
Truly shameless; when you Apple forcibly collected 30% consumption tax back then, you didn’t say that.
Hearing this, Jin Qiaoying nodded and put away her thoughts to get to the main topic.
She directly pierced through Kuke’s claim about domestic products: “But Apple’s revenue all goes to the Cupertino headquarters.”
Hearing this, Kuke showed no embarrassment on his face and instead said: “I’m here today with an extremely strong attitude of cooperation. For this, we Apple company internally had a meeting, and we decided to use 30% of the Great Xia District revenue for investment in the Great Xia District in the future.”
If this were said to someone else, they might really soften, but Jin Qiaoying was a South Island Country person; talking this to her was undoubtedly playing the lute to a cow.
“Sorry, these are Apple’s strategic plans; Xinghai is not interested.”
After saying this, she turned her gaze to Domenis and Susan.
“Xinghai did indeed have a bit of a price difference in export pricing previously.”
Before she finished speaking, the three opposite couldn’t help but inwardly curse together: ‘A tenfold difference, and you call it a bit?’
“But that was also due to production capacity reasons; the export side was temporarily not fully considered. Conveniently, I have a new export selling price here that hasn’t been publicly announced yet. Gentlemen can take a look for reference.”
After speaking, Jin Qiaoying signaled Secretary Li Jia to distribute a quotation each to the three.
This quotation actually existed long ago. Now that the situation was stable, Xinghai couldn’t just focus on the domestic market and abandon the huge overseas market.
This quotation was still 30% more expensive than the domestic selling price.
But compared to the previous tenfold higher price, it was already acceptable to them.
Kuke considered for a long time and finally nodded helplessly in agreement.
The rest was negotiating the sale of carbon nanotubes with Intel and AMD.
The final agreed price satisfied Jin Qiaoying very much.
Graphene chips were a brand new field, with many of their architecture designs already patented by Xinghai early on.
If these two wanted to bring out products in a short time, even with their carbon nanotubes, they still had to purchase Xinghai’s architecture design patents.
Adding the two together, the profit was no less than the piece bitten off from Apple.
Suburbs, Xinghai Metallurgical Laboratory.
Under Minister Li of the Ministry of Industry’s operations, ordinary crystal stones collected from laboratories across the country were sent over first thing.
Due to the use of oxygen-free refinement technology, and the experiment only involving small amounts of refinement, there weren’t many employees in the laboratory.
For this refinement link, Fan Ren still planned to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry in the future; Xinghai couldn’t and didn’t need to control every link in its own hands.
Fan Ren led a group of technicians from the Ministry of Industry and, under their surprised gazes, completed the first one-kilogram ordinary crystal stone refinement experiment.
A silver-white metal block the size of 1/10 of a fingernail cap refined out, after testing, had a strength value reaching ten times that of the ultra-strong aluminum alloy used in aerospace.
Just once, and the experiment was complete!
