I never expected that when Mr. Gu was so angry, he would actually say that the contract would be signed tomorrow.
I thought it was an angry comment, so I said: "Mr. Gu, we are not in a hurry about this, we will wait."
Before I could finish my words, Mr. Gu interrupted and said, "I have made it very clear. The contract must be signed. I will come to your company tomorrow morning."
"Would your daughter have any objection to this?"
"Irrespective of her, I am still the legal person of the factory and I have the final say."
I nodded heavily, poured the wine, raised my glass and said, "Mr. Gu, I'd like to toast you."
After drinking the glass of wine, Mr. Gu took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen made you laugh."
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I understand."
Mr. Gu sighed again and said: "I have raised Lisa by myself since she was a child. Her mother passed away early, so I gave everything to her. When she went to Melbourne University, I was just trying to get her to go to the University of Melbourne. I thought, just wait.
When she comes back from studying, she will be able to use what she has learned to make our own products and stop letting foreigners look down on us. But, did you hear what she just said? It’s so irritating!”
"Calm down, I think her concept hasn't changed yet. She should be fine after a while."
"No matter what, I will not cooperate with foreigners. We must sign the contract tomorrow."
"Okay, that's settled then."
I don’t know if tonight’s dinner was a success or a failure, but it was quite depressing. Why don’t you look down on domestic brands?
I think most people have this mentality, and in fact this is also true.
But I want to change this fact. I must build my own brand and let the world recognize it.
Because I was drunk, I had to call for a substitute driver.
On the way back, I sent An Lan a WeChat message and asked her: "An Lan, have you been to Melbourne?"
A few minutes later, An Lan replied: "I've been there, what's the matter?"
"Is it good there?"
"It's okay! Do you want to go there?"
"No, I just want to ask, which one is better, Melbourne or our country?"
An Lan replied by voice: "Of course our country is great! Let me tell you this, I have been to so many countries, only our country is the best."
I also replied with my voice: "But today I met someone who came back from studying at the University of Melbourne. She told me that the air over there is ten thousand times fresher."
"What? It's not that good. You'll know if you've been there."
I asked her again: "Do our country's brands have so no say?"
"Well, what exactly hit you?" An Lan sent it via text again.
I replied to her with a funny emoticon, and then typed back: "No, just asking."
"Actually, it's not bad. For example, our Huawei technology is also first-class, and there are many more, such as BYD, Haier, Hongxing Erke, Fuyao Glass, etc."
"Today, a person told me that domestic brands are rubbish, and brands should still come from abroad."
"I guess that person doesn't really understand the Chinese market. Is she the one who said the air abroad is fresh?"
An Lan is so smart, I replied: "Yes, but I don't blame her, I think what she said is somewhat correct, so I want to make a brand, I am very eager!"
"Do it, I support you."
"Do you think I can do it?"
"Kung Fu is not afraid of those who are determined. Haven't you heard the fable about an iron rod grinding into a needle?"
"With your words, I have confidence."
An Lan said to me again: "Of course, just being willing is not enough. It is not easy to create a brand. Our An's Group does not have its own brand strength."
"Come on! Our generation will always make some contribution to the country."
"Why do I feel that you suddenly became emotional? Are you really shocked?"
"There is a blow, but this kind of blow is also a kind of power. Just like when foreigners said that we couldn't build missiles, wasn't it still a slap in the face?"
"Okay, I believe you, come on!"
When I returned to my residence, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a figure squatting at the door of my house.
I instinctively became cautious, and when I got closer, I realized that the man looked a bit like Wang Yi.
I didn't expect that she would come back. At this moment, I was very excited and called her quickly: "Wang Yi, is that you?"
The voice-activated lights in the corridor suddenly lit up because of my shout, and I finally saw her face clearly. It was indeed Wang Yi.
I was extremely surprised and ran towards her, and said incoherently with excitement: "When did you come back?"
She stood up from the ground and said to me expressionlessly: "I left my things here."
"What?"
"ID card."
"Oh." I took out the key and opened the door in disappointment.
She didn't go in immediately, but said to me: "Go and take it out for me, I won't go in."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you doing this? You're already here, why don't you just go in and sit down!"
She hesitated for a moment, then followed me in.
She stood at the door, looked around inside, and said, "Go and get it for me. It should be on my bedside table. If not, it's in the square cabinet in the closet."
I pointed to the sofa and said to her: "Sit down and I'll give you a glass of water."
"No, there is still someone waiting for me."
"Who? Your ex-boyfriend?"
"His name is Lou Wang."
I smiled coldly and suddenly remembered that when I got downstairs just now, I saw a Porsche Cayenne with its lights on.
I still said: "Sit down and have a glass of water, is that okay?"
She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the sofa and sat down, looking a little embarrassed.
I poured her a glass of water and said, "Have you reconciled with her now?"
"No."
"Then why is he waiting for you down there?"
"He sent me here."
"Oh then where do you live now?"
She remained silent, and I smiled and said, "If you don't want to say it, that's fine. I still have questions I want to ask you."
Wang Yi was still silent, so I asked directly: "Do you know Lu Wang's identity?"
She glanced at me and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I don't know if you know it, but he is from Hongsheng Capital."
"I know."
"You know?!" I was shocked.
"Well," Wang Yi nodded calmly and replied, "Actually, I knew it a long time ago. I lied to you about this."
"So, you know this from the time I cooperated with Hongsheng Capital?"
Wang Yi shook his head and said: "I didn't know it at that time, but I found out later."
"Then I understand. Hongsheng Capital wants to acquire my company, and then let Lu Wang attack you. Can I understand it this way?"
"You misunderstood. Lu Wang was not in charge of the project to acquire your company. It was Xue Mingyuan's personal responsibility."
After finishing speaking, Wang Yi paused and said to me: "Chen Feng, I sincerely advise you not to fight with Xue Mingyuan. You may not be able to fight him. Compromising is a good thing for you."
I sneered: "That's not what you said before."
"It used to be because I thought we could still fight back, but after I really got to know Hongsheng Capital, I realized that some of our previous efforts were useless."
After a pause, she continued: "Let me tell you this, even if you open the overseas market as quickly as possible, you will definitely lose!"
