Xia Chen picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, and said with a smile: "I agree."
The couple drank a drink and smiled at each other.
After finishing Lao Xia's birthday party, Xia Chen stopped leaving. After washing, he returned to the room previously occupied by the old lady.
He smiled when he found that the sheets and bedding were all new. Lao Liang was so meticulous.
I lay down on the bed, stretched out, and it was another ordinary day.
Just when I was about to fall asleep, the big brother rang loudly.
Xia Chen woke up with a start, rolled out of bed, walked to the table, picked it up and saw that it was his mother calling, thinking that nothing would happen, right?
He hurriedly connected, and heard violent music coming from the microphone, accompanied by: My enthusiasm is like a fire, burning the entire desert uh uh...
Subconsciously, he moved his eldest brother further away and picked at his ears, "Damn woman, what are you doing?"
Tian Ge laughed for a while and then roared: "Guess where I am?"
Isn't this crazy?
"I won't guess! I just want to talk but I'm hanging up the phone!"
"No, bastard, I'm in Hong Kong and I'm telling you, you know Lan Kwai Fong, right? This place is simply great!" Tian Ge was obviously having fun.
"You called me so late just to show off your corrupt life?" Xia Chen asked with a wry smile.
"Of course not. Just wait a moment and I'll go out and talk to you."
About three minutes later, Xia Chen's ears finally cleared, and her mother's voice came again.
"Er, because I was in such a hurry, I didn't bother to tell you that I arrived in Hong Kong this morning and have completed the registration of a financial company. The investor is Hainan Huayin, which is chaired by my old classmate.
.The people here are visiting your mother tonight, and your mother was so happy that she forgot to tell you. No, my classmate reminded me, and I will give you a call."
Tian Ge said nonchalantly.
That’s a lot of drinking.
Xia Chen said: "Okay, I understand. As long as things go smoothly, don't drink too much. Your health and bones are important."
Tian Ge said: "Mom knows it well, so don't worry about it. I will return to Beijing after I get the business license here. I just want to say hello to you. I will go into details after I get back."
Xia Chen agreed, and after his mother hung up the phone first, he threw his eldest brother on the table, smiling bitterly and speechless.
My mother is so strong, she can get away with anywhere.
go to bed.
When I opened my eyes the next day, it was nice weather again.
………………
The president was reporting to Mr. Xia. He looked anxious and said angrily: "I expected that the DVD player would be bought by a competitor and then took it apart for research. I just didn't expect it to come so quickly. How long did it take?"
, in less than two weeks, we have already seen counterfeit products on the market, and the price is much lower than ours, I am really... damned!"
The anxious president started swearing.
Although he had predicted it, Xia Chen did not expect that this situation would occur so early. He stood up and turned around twice before calming the angry president, "It has already happened. There is no use in being anxious. Just calm down first.
The top priority is to think carefully about how to deal with this crisis."
He Zhengbin nodded, picked up the cigarette case and took a look at it. He found that it was empty. He crumpled it into a ball of paper and smashed it on the ground. "Even Hongta Mountain is against me!"
He's completely messed up.
Xia Chen was also a little panicked, but his mind was still online. He took out a Zhonghua, took a cigarette, and threw the whole pack of cigarettes to He Zhengbin, "Old He, the first thing that needs to be clarified now is the DVD players that are on the market.
Is it counterfeited by a big factory or produced in a workshop?"
Xia Chen knew very well that the technical threshold of VCD was very low. As long as a caring person bought the machine and took it apart to study it, he would find that it is not difficult to counterfeit it.
Set up a family workshop, buy some accessories, assemble it and put it on the market.
What impressed Xia Chen deeply was that he had read a report in his previous life. In some family workshops in the south, three or five people assembled VCDs. The speed was fast, and each person could assemble 20 machines per day.
This is a family workshop. It would be fun if a large manufacturer replicated it.
This is what Xia Chen is most worried about.
The president couldn't sit still anymore. He pressed the cigarette he had just taken two puffs into the ashtray and said, "Then I'm going to investigate."
Xia Chen said: "Let's go together. Where did you find it?"
The president said as he walked: "Zhongguancun."
Depend on!
Xia Chen also cursed.
Seeing the two bosses walking over with serious and unsmiling expressions, the employees were a little frightened, and some of those who had been talking in low voices just now lowered their heads.
Liulang came forward and asked Xia Chen, "Do you want to go out?"
Xia Chen nodded and said, "Don't follow me. Your brother Bin and I will go out to do something."
Liu Lang shook his head and followed Xia Chen and said, "Godmother said, my duty is to protect your safety. Besides, Brother Chen, you are obviously going to cause trouble, how can you do it without me?"
Xia Chen suddenly stopped and asked Liulang, "How did you know that I was going out to do something?"
"You have murderous intent on your face!" said the upright Rokuro.
Is it so obvious?
Xia Chen touched his face, realizing that he couldn't get rid of him anymore, and warned: "Liu Lang, you can follow me, but..."
Liulang stopped him and said, "I understand, you have to convince people with reason."
Xia Chen nodded, continued to walk forward, pressed down on the elevator, entered after the elevator door opened, went down, walked to the parking lot, got on the car and asked Liulang to drive to Zhongguancun.
The whole journey from the Asian Games Village to Zhongguancun is less than 7 kilometers. Liulang drove very fast and arrived in just over ten minutes.
At this time, Zhongguancun is far less prosperous and developed than when it was known as "China's Silicon Valley" in later generations. It is just an electronic product street.
There are a dazzling array of gadgets like CD players, 386s, Walkmans, and electronic watches.
The three of them got off the car and walked inside.
The president obviously knew his destination. When he came to a store, he saw that the store door was wide open and the boss was introducing the products to the customers. He shouted: "Is there anyone taking care of the business?"
The boss, a man in his thirties, looked up after hearing this and said with a smile: "If you need anything, just take a look. I'll be here soon."
The president nodded and said you should be busy first.
Xia Chen had already noticed the VCD placed on the counter inside the store. He walked in, looked at it, and compared it with his own VCD machine.
The machine sold in his shop is exactly the same as the machine produced by himself. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the authenticity.
But the difference in details is still obvious.
For example, the outer casing was rough and the screws were rusty. Although it was coated with paint, Xia Chen, who was careful, found that the screws were old when he picked them up with his hands.
He knew in his heart that this was a product produced by a small workshop. Although it had the trademark of his own product, it could not hide the fact that it was a counterfeit.
Rokuro said dullly from the side: "This thing looks fake at first glance."
Looking at him, Xia Chen said to the president: "Even Liulang can tell it's fake. How do you think it can be fake?"
The president nodded dumbfounded and said, "I just don't know how the playback function of this thing is?"
"You can't tell much from the appearance." Xia Chen handed his finger to the president, "But I guess, even the appearance is so rough, will the counterfeiters be willing to use good quality wires?"
"That's true." The president nodded and asked, "This source is not easy to find. How do you plan to find it?"
Rokuro suddenly interrupted: "Isn't it easy to find the source?"
Xia Chen smiled and asked him: "If it were you, Liu Lang, how would you like to find him?"
Liulang smiled confidently and said: "Brother Chen, have you seen the store owner? He is a seller, so he must have a way to purchase goods. Catch him and beat him up. Ask him who his last family is. If you find out, find him.
Home, give me another beating and ask again... Brother Hai and I have always been like this when doing things before. We can check everything accurately, which is very convenient."
The president actually nodded in agreement and said: "Rokuro is right, the police in Hong Kong movies do this too, and it is very efficient."
After he finished speaking, Rokuro was happy, feeling like he had finally found his soulmate, and the two of them high-fived.
Xia Chen: "..."
Liulang asked Xia Chen excitedly, "Brother Chen, do you want me to go catch the little boss?"
"Liu Lang, we are engaged in serious business, not robbers." Xia Chen was helpless again, and couldn't seem to make sense with this guy.
"Don't worry about who we are. The method with the fastest efficiency and the best effect is the most practical, right?" Liulang had been in the Jianghu and was used to grudges. He also felt that Xia Chen was being dogmatic, so he immediately agreed.
Brother Chen is good at everything, but his indecisive temperament is very troublesome.
Xia Chen scratched his head, scratched his head hard, why don't you have a long memory? You know that Rokuro is an unstable factor and a big bomb that will explode at any time, but you still want to take him out. Why are you so indebted?
And Lao He...
Xia Chen glared at He Zhengbin angrily, "Why don't you just stop getting messed up?"
He Zhengbin chuckled and could see that Mr. Xia was not in a beautiful mood anymore.
At this time, the boss's transaction was completed. He smiled and said to the two female customers: "Don't worry, the quality of this machine is absolutely fine. The manufacturer said that if it breaks, it will be covered by warranty. Go away, what are you missing?"
No need to worry, welcome back."
Hearing the boss's voice, Xia Chen turned his head and was immediately shocked. He saw Sister Xiao Yu and Zhao Xuening walking side by side. Zhao Xuening was holding a VCD machine in her arms, looking very strenuous. Sister Xiao Yu even helped her with it.
Bottom.
When the two of them passed by the three of them, it was as if they didn't recognize them. Sister Xiaoyu just blinked slyly.
The three of them were dumbfounded.
The president woke up quickly. He chuckled and said to Xia Chen: "Okay, let's not bother. Sister Yu must have obtained first-hand information."
Xia Chen said: "I think so."
The boss came over and asked with a smile: "What do you three want?"
I want a big hammer from you!
"I don't want anything else." After Xia Chen finished speaking, he winked at the two of them, and the three of them walked slowly outside the store.
"It's inexplicable." The boss was a little dissatisfied and muttered.
