Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 581 Two old foxes

C-Cube Microsystems, Milpitas, Calif.

Lu Yang finally saw Sun Yansheng alive.

The two shook hands cordially.

Sun Yansheng was also very happy that Lu Yang came all the way across the ocean to visit him.

The atmosphere in the company has not been good recently.

As more and more chip companies from all over the world begin to enter the VCD decoding chip market, a brutal chip price war is foreseeable to come. As a company with an absolute monopoly in the VCD decoding chip market, C-Cube does not want to see this happen the last thing it wants to see.

But not wanting to see it doesn't mean it won't happen.

What needs to be done most right now is to minimize the impact of the upcoming decoding chip price war on the company.

Therefore, even if Lu Yang did not come, he would find ways to invite Lu Yang to come, or he would fly to the Eastern Continent across the ocean himself.

In today's mainland market, although Wanyan Company is the first mainland VCD company to purchase their C-Cube decoding chip, because they implement a high-end pricing and high-end product strategy, their consumption of C-Cube decoding chips is not too high.

What really made their C-Cube decoding chip a big hit in the mainland market was that after Lu Yang and Jiang Wanli had a falling out, he began to shift his focus to the Little Prodigy Company under his own group company. With the experience and channels of making game learning machines, he imitated VCDs on a large scale and launched his own Little Prodigy VCD. Then, after this start, VCD copycat machines emerged in the mainland market like mushrooms after rain.

But even so, the little prodigy company, which was the first to take the route of affordable VCDs, still remained at the forefront of all companies, with sales far exceeding those of other VCD manufacturers.

From the time it was launched in March to now in October, in less than 3 months, it has set an exaggerated sales record of nearly 10 million units.

And these data are well documented.

It can't be faked at all.

After all, every production of a Little Prodigy brand VCD requires a decoding chip produced by their C-Cube company, and because of the need to stock up in advance, Sun Yansheng's chip export volume will only be more impressive.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Shentong Company is the largest buyer of GL-450 decoding chips of their C-Cube company in mainland China.

Lu Yang is the absolute majority shareholder of Xiao Shentong and has unique say in Xiao Shentong. In addition, the BBK VCD sells very well in the market, so Mr. Lu also has a lot of say in this BBK company. At the beginning, Xiao Shentong, Xiao Tiancai, and BBK, the three companies selling game learning machines, joined together to force the Taiwanese chip giant Fa Lianke Microelectronics to sign a gambling agreement and won tens of millions of red and white machine chips at an ultra-low price, which caused a great sensation in the world chip market.

They all exclaimed that another trillion-level chip market has been opened up. Does this also mean that the spring of the chip market is about to arrive?

Since this idea came into being, many companies have been gearing up to seize the mainland chip market.

Mr. Sun is also a chip colleague, so he naturally knows something about this. Moreover, Lu Yang is also a shareholder of Wanyan Company and one of Sun Yansheng's mainland partners across the ocean.

Together with Little Prodigy and BBK, Lu Yang alone can influence the three leading VCD companies in the mainland.

As long as they can take down Lu Yang, C-Cube will be able to win the upcoming decoding chip price war.

Will be invincible.

"Hahaha, welcome, old friend."

This is also true.

Because the two of them have indeed been in spiritual communication for a long time.

Wanyan Company’s board of directors held telephone conferences more than once.

Sun Yansheng is a Chinese from Southeast Asia who studied in the United States when he was young. He grew up in an environment influenced by Western ideas. When he saw Lu Yang, he was so happy that he forgot to shake hands and rushed up to him and gave him a warm hug.

Fortunately, Lu Yang did not dislike him as a middle-aged man.

3 seconds later.

Just enough was enough, and he went to enthusiastically hug his tall-legged blonde secretary, Sun Yansheng, on the spot.

This is not a loss.

But this also caused Xu Siqi behind him to roll her eyes.

Haha, you bastard, that’s enough, you bastard.

Seeing Lu Yang holding the beautiful secretary with big wavy blonde hair and blue eyes for almost 10 seconds, he was still reluctant to let go.

Xu Siqi curled her lips.

She saw the old man opposite, the guy named Sun Yansheng, also walking towards her with a smile.

She took a step back in panic, then took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, I'm Mr. Lu's secretary, my last name is Xu, wait, please don't hug me, we Oriental women are more reserved, and we can't handle your enthusiastic hug and cheek-touching etiquette."

Sure enough, when she saw that the old man was about to open his arms, she was so scared that her face turned pale.

Sun Yansheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked left and right, then laughed: "It was Sun who was rude, please don't blame me, Miss Xu."

As he said this, he put one hand on his back and extended the other as a gentleman's gesture.

After settling down.

"This guy is surprisingly polite. Look at his gentlemanly manners and the elegant way he speaks."

"My dear Mr. Lu, look at you again. You just cling to that wavy blonde girl, imitate her Western etiquette, and even refuse to let go of her. Haha, can't you be more reserved?"

"Hey, can you please be more careful and learn from others' noble temperament, okay?"

"My Mr. Lu..."

Xu Siqi took the time to privately express her contempt for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said, "Tsk, should I learn from him? His weird ancient vernacular? Or his so-called Western aristocratic etiquette? It's neither Chinese nor Western, just like taking a shit. You were right to refuse to hug this old guy just now. This old guy has body odor, which is definitely caused by Westerners. It almost suffocated me just now, ugh."

"really?"

Xu Siqi opened her eyes wide in a cute and silly way.

"You do not believe?"

Lu Yang was very hurt. He shook his head and sighed, "Then go and try before they get too far."

Xu Siqi stuck out her tongue at him.

"Tut, tut, tut, you want to play a trick on me again, humph, I won't do it."

She said blushing.

Lu Yang laughed: "Go and close the door. There will be a welcome reception tonight. Go change into a dress first. Oh, and don't wear anything too sexy."

Xu Siqi blushed and ran away.

I don’t want it.

The smile on Lu Yang's face faded, and he thought about the conversation he had with Sun Yansheng when they just met.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this old guy is a bit difficult to deal with!"

Although Sun Yansheng is of Chinese descent, he has a 100% Western mindset at heart, and profit is everything to him.

Lu Yang originally wanted to use the brotherhood card to get the other party to lower the export price of decoding chips to the mainland and benefit the mainland compatriots, but after meeting the other party in person and chatting for a few words, he decided to give up.

Playing this kind of emotional card will only bring shame upon yourself.

Fortunately, Lu Yang was not completely unprepared. He flew here from afar so carelessly, trying to ask the other party to lower the export price of decoding chips on the grounds of being a compatriot.

In the past, C-Cube executed the sell-side market price.

Relying on its irreplaceable nature, it dares to charge a sky-high price of US$168 per coin.

Fortunately, it has lost its irreplaceability in the market and is about to lose its seller's market guide price. It will soon face many global challengers who will impact its dominance in the decoding chip market. Haha, if you don't want to be dethroned, you can only take the initiative to reduce the price.

Lu Yang did not come here to get the same chip price as other mainland VCD manufacturers. If it was the same chip price, there would be no need for him to fly all the way here.

Now that we are here, we must get a chip price that is at least much lower than that of other mainland VCD manufacturers.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't mind changing a chip supplier.

"Unfortunately, the decoding chip of Flink was produced in a hurry. Not only did the yield rate fail to meet the standard, but the price also exceeded the price of a single decoding chip when it was launched to the market in 95. There is also a gap in picture quality and audio."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore."

"Mr. Sun has a very bad conscience. He cheated Brother Jiang Wanli many times in his previous life. The reason why Wanyan Company ended up like that is also related to him, Sun Yansheng."

"If he had not set such a high price for the decoder chip from the beginning, a small decoder chip would actually account for more than 35% of the entire VCD assembly cost."

"Fuck, this is outrageous. A profit of 1000% is already more than that, right?"

"If this old guy does this, it will be strange if Wanyan Company, which uses the decoding chips produced by his company, can do well."

"Alas, doing business with this guy is like seeking the skin of a tiger!"

"However, if I can buy back the 20% equity of Wanyan Company from this guy, it will be worth the trip."

It turns out that Lu Yang’s real purpose was this.

Xu Siqi dawdled for almost an hour before finally changing into an evening gown.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up when he saw it.

She chose a light cherry pink modified cheongsam-style dress with delicate buttons on the collar. The slightly raised design made her neck look as slender as jade.

The skirt is a fluffy A-line shape, covered with light tulle on the outside and embroidered with faint twined branches on the inside, which trembles like petals when walking.

The cuffs are translucent lace lantern sleeves, and there is a pearl button at the wrist, which is both dignified and a little playful.

The most amazing thing was the moon-white satin belt around her waist, which was tied into a small bow at the back, and the hanging tassels swayed gently with her steps.

She didn't wear any jewelry, only a pair of small pearl earrings on her ears. Her long black hair was half tied up with a gilded and kingfisher-inlaid hairpin. She looked like a porcelain doll out of an ancient painting, gentle and lively.

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, are you going to play the role of a young lady from the Republic of China tonight?"

Xu Siqi blushed slightly, puffed up her cheeks, picked up the hem of her skirt and turned around, her eyes curved into crescents: "How is it, is it good enough for a lady from a noble family?"

Now that you've already put it on, why not be more generous and charm that stinky boss to death, huh!

She wished.

Lu Yang deliberately didn't look at her, he stood up coolly and said: "Let's go."

As he said this, he put one hand on his waist.

Signaling to the young lady of the Republic of China to come forward and hold her arm, be more proactive, what, do you still need the boss to teach you?

Xu Siqi stamped her feet, picked up her skirt and ran over angrily.

Being a boss is awesome! ?
Being a boss is awesome.

Well, she was a secretary, so she could only accept her fate. However, as they walked into the banquet hall arm in arm, she secretly pinched the fat on Lu Yang's waist with her small hands, in revenge for his ignoring her just now, and then she happily smiled into a crescent shape with her eyes.

"Welcome friends from the East..."

When Lu Yang walked into the banquet hall with Xu Siqi on his arm, he was warmly welcomed by Sun Yansheng and a group of foreign executives from C-Cube!

Da Jun and Xiao Jiu found a corner in the banquet hall and started eating and drinking.

At the same time, he did not forget to stare at Lu Yang and Xu Siqi who were surrounded by a group of foreigners in the distance and were chatting and laughing with them.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"I can't believe that Yoko can actually understand the language of these foreigners. It's so confusing that it makes my head hurt."

The army drank expensive red wine like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

He lowered his head and laughed, but attracted the contempt of his comrade Xiaojiu beside him.

"Brother, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"Can't you see?"

"It was Secretary Xu who was translating for the boss. It was Secretary Xu who could really understand the language of these foreigners."

"But it's true, Secretary Xu is not only beautiful, but also speaks foreign languages ​​so well. No wonder the boss chose her to be his personal secretary."

"It's all my fault. I thought she was just a vase placed next to the boss and lacked respect for her. It seems that after this dinner, I have to apologize to her."

As he said that, he bumped his shoulder against his comrade next to him, "Brother Dajun, what about you? Do you want to join us?"

The army opened their mouths: "..."

If I eat the melon, can I eat my own head?
After he came to his senses, he glared at his comrades around him and shook his head.

Xiao Jiu asked in a puzzled voice: "What do you mean by shaking your head? Are you going or not?"

Da Jun lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Nonsense, of course I won't go. You look down on me, but I don't. Secretary Xu is a top student who graduated from Jingbei University. Think about it, can she not speak foreign languages?"

If Xu Siqi knew that he praised her like this, she would probably jump for joy like a little rabbit.

Then she said in a tearful voice: "I regret not studying hard and getting a 7.0 on the IELTS. I really regret not having enough knowledge when I need it!"

She learned English with the encouragement of her good sister Yin Mingzhu, because Yin Mingzhu's original dream was to cross mountains and seas and become an international news writer while becoming a CCTV reporter. In order to achieve this goal, she naturally had to learn a foreign language well first.

And you can’t just learn one.

Of course, among many foreign languages, Yin Mingzhu also majored in English, so in Yin Mingzhu's case, her younger sister also majored in English among foreign languages.

It’s a pity that I still haven’t passed the IELTS test with a score of 7.0. Although I can communicate with foreigners barely, I always speak haltingly.

For example, at this moment!

If Sun Yansheng was not a Chinese who not only speaks Chinese but also fluent English, there would be no need for a translator. If any executive of their company interrupted, the boss, Sun Yansheng, would personally act as the translator.

Otherwise, how could we expect Xu Siqi, hehe, to be able to chat and laugh harmoniously with everyone like this?

"Brother Lu, I already know your intentions. We are close partners. Don't worry, I will consider it in detail, and then convince the top management to give you an explanation."

Sun Yansheng raised his glass towards Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also raised his glass: "Thank you very much."

Sun Yansheng smiled and said, "Brother Lu, the real purpose of coming here this time should not be just for this matter, right?"

After saying this, he raised his glass with deep meaning.

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, "It seems that Mr. Sun has already guessed it. I wonder what Mr. Sun thinks, is he interested in selling it?"

Sun Yansheng also narrowed his eyes, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, savored the sweetness and said: "Well, I don't intend to sell this, but if Brother Lu can afford the price."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "No problem, just talk about it."

The two old foxes tested each other, leaving Secretary Xu, who was speaking English haltingly, to deal with a group of foreigners, and went to a corner to chat alone. . .
