Reborn since 1993

Chapter 465 Different Roads
Only after Duan Yongji came to the rescue did Boss Liu's expression improve a little.

However, judging from the reactions of several members of the Taishan Industry Research Association, Boss Liu also knew that after this war of words, his true colors had been exposed and even the people in the Taishan Industry Research Association had begun to doubt him.

After all, no matter whether the Taishan Industry Research Association has grand ambitions now or not, the purpose of its establishment back then was for a group of companies such as Lianxiang, Sitong, Yuanda, Giant, Kehai, and Fanhai to work together to share information and opportunities. When there are opportunities to make money, everyone makes it together. When encountering troubles, members help each other together, which is somewhat like a blood alliance.

However, this does not mean that the members of Taishan Industry Research Association really want to give up their integrity and openly become Qin Hui-like figures.

Just think about it, everyone sitting here today is a well-known figure. If anyone goes out and shows disrespect, they will be disrespectful. Who wants to be scolded to the whole family?
Refer to the previous life, when the rumors about Boss Liu broke out, which company was willing to cooperate with Lian Xiang, and which founder was willing to get close to Boss Liu? This shows that most people still care about their face. They don’t want to be scolded for not having children, and their ancestors have been busy for eighteen generations, and they are greeted every day...

After taking a look at the people at the Taishan Industry Association, Boss Liu had something in mind. After sitting down, he did not mention his own affairs first, but asked Boss Shi of Giant with a gentle expression, "Boss Shi, how is the preparation for the new project going?"

Giant has gone bankrupt, and now is the darkest moment in Boss Shi’s life. He owes nearly 300 million yuan, but Boss Shi did not run away. Instead, he took on all the debts.

God helps those who need him, but people need to help themselves. If you give up on yourself, God can't help you even if he wants to.

In the past few years, Boss Shi was a youth idol and a mentor followed by countless young people. He was not the person that people in later generations would first think of as someone who made money by selling health products and playing games.

Although the giant has fallen, Boss Shi still has a group of loyal followers. These people would rather not receive any salary, or even pay money, just to follow Boss Shi.

This is the charm of being an entrepreneurial idol in the hearts of a generation of young people. Boss Shi’s influence among young people at that time was second only to Bill Gates. Even a person like Boss Mou who only makes big promises has a group of die-hard followers, not to mention Boss Shi.

Nowadays, the grassroots figures who can make a name for themselves all have their own unique style. Boss Mou, Boss Shi, Jinshan Qiu Bojun and others are all such people. Yes, it also includes Boss Liu before he was exposed by Dongling Hi-Tech...

Guo Wei, Yang Yuanqing, Liu Jun and others are all followers of Boss Liu. Regardless of their reputation, they are definitely capable and are the kind of people who can make a name for themselves in the world. Before, there were countless people in society who admired Boss Liu and believed that he saved domestic computers.

However, after Dongling Hi-Tech's revelations, the outside world learned about Lian Xiang's true path to wealth and what the so-called domestic brand computers are like. They are almost the spokespersons for foreign technology companies in China.

Even though Boss Liu's personality has not completely collapsed, many people's views on Lian Xiang and Boss Liu have changed a bit. After all, if a company that represents foreign products and is purely an assembly plant of international brand computers can have the nerve to call itself the pride of China, then the word "China" is a bit too cheap!
"The new product is still under development. If it can be approved before the end of the year, we will officially start promoting and selling it!"

Boss Shi said that the new project he mentioned is naturally the pinnacle of the health care product industry and is almost the swan song of the industry. "I will not accept any gifts during the holidays this year, and the only gifts I will accept are..."

"No matter what, the Taishan Industry Research Association will help you, Boss Shi, and will never give up any of its members!"

Boss Liu said this righteously. It seemed that he was supporting Boss Shi, but in fact, he was also pointing at the founders of companies such as Sitong, Yuanda, Kehai, and Fanhai.

This time, it was Liu who encountered difficulties. If they didn't help, then in the future, when he encountered difficulties, would the other members of Taishan Industry Research Association still help him? !
Once you join the Taishan Industry Research Association, you are like a grasshopper on a rope. If you don’t save the giants and Lian Xiang, who will save them in the future?

How could Boss Shi not hear that the man named Liu was trying to make trouble for everyone, but he had to accept it because the Taishan Industrial Research Association was really helping him, especially the Sitong side.

Without the support of Taishan Industrial Research Association and the guarantee of Sitong Group, how could those creditors let him live a peaceful life based on his empty words? Where did the money for the research, development and promotion of Melatonin come from?
One should be grateful for what one has received. Boss Shi was really helped by the Taishan Industrial Research Association, and he must be grateful for this favor!
"It's natural!"

Mr. Lu, the boss of Haikong, said, "It's just that right now, I don't even know how far they have come and how much help they need from us. We are not very good at things in the technology industry!"

After Boss Lu made this statement, the other bosses of Yuanda and Kehai also expressed their support for Boss Liu.

"Everyone is blinded by what they see. They don't know how much hair I have lost and how much effort I have put into the hospital just to make Lian Xiang a computer. The media will only follow suit and frame Zhong Liang!"

Boss Liu said angrily, "They are scolding me now, but if it weren't for my hard work, domestic brands of computers would have disappeared long ago, and there would be no place like today!"

“The most important thing now is that Lianxiang Company in Hong Kong has been banned from overseas sales, and its stock price has fallen too much!

Domestically, the launch of new products has been affected and delayed. Although sales have not yet been counted, the Microcomputer Department predicts that computer sales in the new quarter may be affected."

Boss Liu said with a grim expression that his influence abroad was weak and he had no hope at all. He was afraid that he would lose the lawsuit.

In China, the impact is still unknown, but the sales of Lianxiang computers are expected to be hindered. This storm is really too big. Duan Yongji and others were also heartbroken when they heard this. Even if Lianxiang doesn't fall this time, it is certain that it will lose a layer of skin and its strength will be greatly damaged. The most important thing is the company's brand and Boss Liu's reputation. It is hard to say how much will be left after this wave passes.

"The most important thing now is to resolve the patent lawsuit with Shenzhou Storage. Shenzhou Storage can afford to delay it, but you, Old Liu, can't!"

As one of the big brothers of Taishan Industrial Research Association, Duan Yongji was the only one who could take charge of the overall situation when Boss Liu encountered difficulties.

Duan Yongji pointed out incisively that the root of everything originated from this lawsuit. No matter what, the lawsuit must be resolved before other troubles can be solved.

"I don't want to fight against my own people, but the other party may not be willing to let us go!" Boss Liu said in a cold voice.

"Why not ask the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Electronics, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to coordinate, and our Taishan Industry Research Association should also mobilize their connections to get the other party to withdraw the lawsuit!"

The boss of Kehai also spoke up at this time, saying that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to pressure others and ask these departments to go out and suppress Shenzhou Storage.

“What if the other party doesn’t withdraw the lawsuit?”

After thinking for a moment, Boss Liu thought about this path and realized that it was a double-edged sword. If it worked, then everything would be fine. But if it didn't, then the last bit of hope would be completely gone.

Besides, if you want to use your power to pressure others, you must be able to suppress the other party. With Lian Xiang's influence and the connections of Taishan Industrial Research Institute, if it were any other company in the country, it would probably be able to force the other party to withdraw the lawsuit.

But as for the Shenzhou storage, I am not sure!

Shenzhou Storage is easy to suppress, but can its parent company Dongling Hi-Tech suppress it? Even Boss Liu is not sure.
In terms of connections and influence, even if people are reluctant to admit it, they know that Dongling Hi-Tech is almost unique in China. The ability to earn foreign exchange alone is enough for the Foreign Exchange Department and all domestic companies that need foreign exchange to naturally support Dongling Hi-Tech.

At the critical moment, who knows how many units, departments, and companies will clamor to support Dongling Hi-Tech. Without Dongling Hi-Tech, who will help them earn foreign exchange and buy foreign laboratory equipment, production equipment, technology, patents, etc.

There are also jobs provided by Dongling Hi-Tech, Dongling Hi-Tech, Feiyan Technology, Torch Group, plus jobs and taxes provided by a series of companies in Dongling Hi-Tech's industrial chain. I'm afraid that the Economic and Trade Commission, Hanxi, Guangdong Province, Shanghai and other places are all determined to protect Dongling Hi-Tech!

"Old Liu, if the coordination fails when asking the industrial and commercial departments to intervene, sometimes, you have to make a decision when you have to. If you hesitate, you may suffer the consequences!" Duan Yongji said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu's expression changed drastically and he stood up. "Are you asking me to admit defeat, apologize to Shenzhou Storage in the newspaper, and pay hundreds of millions of compensation?"

"Old Liu!"

Duan Yongji sighed and pulled Boss Liu to sit down again, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

"Right now, Lian Xiang is indeed in a weak position. Even if everyone in the Taishan Industry Research Association helps you, you may not be able to win!
Even if we lose this time, as long as Lian Xiang has not fallen and you, Old Liu, are still Lian Xiang, then you will have a chance to get back on track.

Moreover, this may not be of any benefit to Lian Xiang!" Duan Yongji said.

When Boss Liu heard this, he immediately said, "I have been too angry these days and have been blinded. I hope Brother Duan can give me some advice!"

"Advice is out of the question!"

Duan Yongji looked at Boss Liu, "It's just that you, Old Liu, care too much about Lian Xiang and are a little blinded by one thing."

"Two things. First, are overseas computer component companies like IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Toshiba, and Sharp really willing to see Lianxiang fail?"

"The second thing, Old Liu, don't you want Lianxiang to develop better and want the management to get more equity? Lianxiang's current situation and the current share price of Gangcheng Lianxiang are not an opportunity for you, right?"
