Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 357 I'll go see it in person!

"I didn't expect that I would have such a fate. I would actually meet the boss behind Xiaxin International in Manchester. Mingze, tell me who this boss behind the scenes is!"

Li Zhexi originally had a sad face, but after hearing the good news from Li Mingze, he felt a lot more relaxed, and there was a hint of lightness in his words.

Listening to the words coming from the phone, Li Mingze had no idea what his father was planning. He sorted out his thoughts a little and then began to introduce himself.

"Dad, the boss of Xiaxin International is a young Chinese man named Su Chen. He looks younger than me, probably only about 26 or 27 years old!"

"According to my understanding, his background is very complicated. In addition to being the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiaxin International, he is also the largest individual shareholder of the world's three largest luxury goods companies!"

"in addition…"

Li Mingze paused, thought about it and decided to tell him about the investigation of Su Chen's bodyguards on the way back to the hotel in the afternoon.

"The bodyguard next to Su Chen is from the British Queen's Guard. I guess he is an external security guard and his background is not simple."

"According to my observation, those bodyguards obey Su Chen's orders and should not be hired temporarily. I suspect there are some unknown secrets!"

"This is roughly what I understand!" After saying this, Li Mingze felt his breathing lighten up a lot, and he waited quietly for his father Li Zhexi's arrangements.

Li Zhexi on the other end of the phone fell into silence. He originally thought that the boss behind Xiaxin International was a middle-aged man or something. After all, those were chips and lithography machines. Without some time and capital, one would not have the capital to do this.

At first, he wanted to determine which family the boss behind the scenes came from based on his surname.

But what he never expected was that the boss behind the scenes was actually a young man, which immediately increased Li Zhexi's vigilance towards Su Chen by several degrees.

As one of the pioneers of the semiconductor industry, Li Zhexi of the Lee Group naturally understands how complicated the industry is. They spend tens of billions of dollars every year on semiconductor technology research and improvement alone.

He didn't believe that Su Chen had developed this technology for no reason. There must be a big company or family supporting him.

But when he heard that Su Chen was also the largest individual shareholder of the world's three largest luxury goods companies, he felt terrible. You know, the market value of the number one LVMH Group is much higher than that of their Li Group.

He was clear about the shareholder composition of the LVMH Group. Apart from the Arnault family, the others were some of the world's top chaebols or top consortiums, such as Morgan and Black Rock Group.

The fact that Su Chen was able to join the group and become the largest private shareholder is something that Li Zhexi cannot compare to.

As for the bodyguards Li Mingze mentioned at the end, Li Zhexi didn't take it seriously. As the largest individual shareholder of the world's three largest luxury goods giants, it was normal for him to have long-term security services with top security companies!
My fingers tapped lightly on the desk, making a very rhythmic sound!
After pondering for a moment, Li Zhexi quickly made a decision, which was to fly to Manchester and meet the mysterious boss named Su Chen in person.

"Ming Ze, please pay attention to Su Chen, the boss behind Xia Xin International. I will fly over here on a private plane today. Please make arrangements. I want to meet Mr. Su!"

Li Mingze was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. He never thought that his father would actually fly here in person to see Su Chen. Suddenly, he felt his head buzzing.

"Dad, why bother you to fly here in person? If you have any arrangements, I will go directly to find Su Chen!" Li Mingze spoke quickly, trying to stop the matter.

Li Zhexi laughed when he heard that. "Hahaha, it's good that you have the ambition to make progress, but I still have to go there in person. You are still a little short of the qualifications!"

He didn't ask to be more tactful, he said it very bluntly. Li Zhexi knew that he needed to be direct at this time. He didn't have the time to beat around the bush and use this matter to teach Li Mingze a lesson.

Li Mingze smacked his lips. He didn't expect that his own father would say that.

The words Su Chen said to him in the sky garden of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel immediately emerged in his mind, "Maybe if your father comes, I will pay more attention!"

He now understood that Su Chen had already seen the gap between them.

He was the only one who still thought that he could be on equal footing with Su Chen. Thinking about his performance at that time, perhaps in Su Chen's eyes, he was just a clown.
Thinking of this, Li Mingze couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

"I understand, Dad!" Although Li Mingze felt unwilling in his heart and still wanted to fight for it, in the end... it only turned into one sentence!

"Hmm~" Li Zhexi responded and was about to hang up the phone, but then he thought of what Li Mingze had said before about his useless prodigal son and what kind of conflict he had with Su Chen.

"By the way, you said before that Li Mingrui, that bastard, had some problems with Su Chen. What exactly is going on?"

He also understood his son and knew what kind of person Li Mingze was. At the end, he added, "Tell the truth. If you hide anything and cause any consequences, I will tell you how to deal with you two!"

Li Mingze opened his mouth, sighed silently, cast a helpless look at Li Mingrui beside him, and told him about what happened between Li Mingrui and Su Chen in Guangming Club.

Including what happened at the Etihad Stadium and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, nothing was left out and every detail was explained clearly.

Of course, Li Mingze also told them about his plan to use the Habsburg family’s connections to expand the group’s industries into Europe.

He wanted to pull down Su Chen to improve the Habsburg family's favor, but he would fail miserably and hit the titanium alloy steel plate.

Li Mingze also did not forget to tell Su Chen what the old fox Ackerman said to Su Chen. He knew the value of those words and explained the whole story.

After he finished speaking, Li Mingze clearly felt that the breathing sound coming from the phone became a lot heavier. He knew without thinking that Li Zhexi on the other end of the phone had obvious emotional fluctuations.

Li Mingze was also prepared to be scolded, but he waited for a long time before Li Zhexi's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I know, I'll talk to you when I get to Manchester!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Li Mingze any chance to speak.

Looking at the phone in his hand, Li Ming was a little dazed. Was his old man angry or not, or was he so angry that he wanted to teach them a lesson in person?

"Brother, what's going on? Isn't Dad angry with us?" Li Mingrui approached Li Mingze with an excited look on his face, grabbed his arm and asked.

Li Ming glared at him unhappily, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the details either, you'll know when dad comes!"

"Huh? You said dad is going to come to Manchester in person?" Li Mingrui opened his mouth wide, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and a bad premonition immediately arose in his heart.

Li Ming nodded, "From what the boss said, he wants to meet Su Chen in person. I don't know much about the rest, but I don't think he will hit you. I just told you the situation, and dad didn't get angry, did he?"

"Don't worry, it's getting late. Go to bed early. Dad should arrive in Manchester tomorrow morning, and we will have to go to the airport to pick him up then!"

Patting Li Mingrui on the shoulder, Li Ming yawned and prepared to go back to his room.

When the bodyguard passed by, he did not forget to ask the bodyguard to contact the hotel and ask the hotel kitchen to send food to his room.

Watching Li Mingze leaving his room with his bodyguards, Li Mingrui slumped on the sofa, a helpless look on his face, not knowing how his father would punish him tomorrow.

……

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Sky Garden!
After breakfast, Su Chen had no plans to go out for a walk around Manchester City, so he thought about going back to his room and lying down to have a good rest.

As a result, the Sheikh pestered him and asked him to go to the Sky Garden for tea and discuss some things with him.

Originally, Su Chen wanted to stay in the room, but Sheikh said that the view from the room was not good. In the end, Su Chen could not persuade Sheikh and could only follow him to the sky garden on the top floor. The morning sun shone on the entire city of Manchester, which was a different kind of scenery.

"Tell me, I'm curious about what it is that makes you, Prince Sheikh, so concerned!" After drinking two cups of tea, Su Chen took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Hearing this, Xie He quickly put down the teacup in his hand. After knowing yesterday that Su Chen was the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiaxin International, the first thing he did when he returned to the room was to call home to confirm this matter.

Relying on their friendly relationship with China, they investigated the affairs of Xiaxin International without much hindrance and indeed achieved the mass production technology of 10nm chips.

As for the photolithography machine, Sheikh didn't have any idea. After all, he knew the importance of this thing. If it was really brought to the Middle East or Europe, it would immediately become a thorn in the eyes of some people.

He then settled for the next best thing and set his sights on 10nm chips.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask if I can get the agency rights in the Middle East and Europe!" Sheikh looked at Su Chen closely, waiting for his answer.

"Uh..." Su Chen did not expect that Xie He's ambition would be so big that he actually wanted to take over these two areas.

If you think about it carefully, Sheikh does have the capital to say this!

There is no need to say much about the Middle East. Those countries have the same ancestors and the relations between them are still very harmonious.

As for Europe, needless to say, many of Sheikh and his team's industrial investments are concentrated here. Relying on their many years of business channels, they will be able to quickly enter the semiconductor market and even get a piece of fat meat.

Unfortunately…

Su Chen shook his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his face, "Your idea is good, but it's impossible at the moment!"

"Impossible?" Xie He froze, looked at Su Chen with a puzzled look and asked, "Why? According to my investigation, Xiaxin International can produce at least 100,000 pieces per month, so it is entirely possible to split off a part of it!"

"Moreover, as the process technology becomes more sophisticated and more corresponding equipment such as lithography machines are added, the output will at least double!"

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at Xie He thoughtfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said: "What you said is indeed correct, but... Xie He, don't forget that China is the world's largest semiconductor market, and nearly one-third of the world's chips flow into China!"

"Tell me, if there are cheaper, more efficient and sufficient 10nm chips, will the domestic technology giants make corresponding adjustments?"

Talk, stop talking!

Su Chen did not explain the rest of his words clearly, but as a business elite, Xie He immediately understood the meaning of Su Chen's words.

The chips produced by Xiaxin International will first be supplied to the domestic Chinese market in a short period of time. After taking over the entire Chinese market and consolidating it as Xiaxin International's rear base, they will go abroad and move towards the world.

This was something the Sheikh had never expected!
It is obvious that capital is seeking profit. He originally thought that Su Chen would seize the global semiconductor market as soon as possible and take advantage of this good opportunity to make a fortune.

As a result, Su Chen would actually supply the domestic semiconductor market first, allowing those technology companies to use advanced 10nm chips to achieve their own business transformation, so that they would have the capital to compete for profits in the larger international market.

Sheikh thought he was incapable of such selfless dedication.

Sheikh smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed, "Those technology companies in your country are probably so busy that they can wake up laughing even in their sleep!"

You have to know that for 10nm-level chips, TSMC and Nvidia can only produce hundreds of thousands of chips per month. There are countless companies around the world that want to buy chips, and without any strength, it is impossible to get chip resources.

A cycle will be formed, and companies that have the ability to obtain chips will only become more powerful, while those that do not have chip resources can only use chips that are one or even several generations behind, and watch their market share that originally belonged to them being encroached upon by other companies.

Looking at the sad expression on Sheikh's face, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh!
"Hahaha, don't worry. In half a year, at most half a year, Xiaxin International will go abroad. I will definitely call you then!"

Half a year is a long time, enough for domestic companies to undergo transformation.

When Sheikh heard the term half a year, his eyes lit up. Just half a year passed in the blink of an eye!
"Okay, you said it yourself, don't say you forgot it when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, I will never forget you no matter who I forget!" Su Chen responded with a smile.

At this time, Fade Chen hurriedly came out of the elevator, looked around, and after finding Su Chen and the others, he quickly ran over!

"Sir!" Before the person arrived, Chen Fei's voice reached Su Chen's ears.

Su Chen and Xie He looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that Fade Chen was anxious but also excited, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

"You look so happy. Did you get lucky and pick up some money?" Su Chen saw this and joked with a smile.

Fade Chen ran to the table and stood there, grinning, "Hehe, I'm happier than finding money!"

"Sir, the other party just called me and agreed to the thing you arranged for me yesterday!"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Su Chen's eyes. If he remembered correctly, the task he assigned to Chen Fei yesterday was to retrieve as many cultural relics as possible from the Habsburg family that they had looted a hundred years ago.

"Really? Are they all going to be returned?"

You have to know how powerful the Habsburg family was a hundred years ago. They even had their own country established in Europe.

It goes without saying that the cultural relics and antiques collected by the Habsburg family must be top-notch, otherwise they would not be in the eyes of the Habsburg family.

"Uh..." Chen Fei was suddenly speechless!

One look at Fade Chen's expression revealed that he didn't know either.

Su Chen glared at Chen Fei unhappily, not knowing the details of the situation yet running to tell him the good news.

If the Habsburg family just took out a few of them at that time, they would have missed this good opportunity.

Fade Chen shrank his neck and asked tentatively: "Sir, then...then let me call and ask?"

"Puchi! Hahahaha!" Xie He on the side was amused by Chen Fei's words!
Su Chen shook his head helplessly, "Okay, why call at this time? Isn't it just handing the initiative to the Habsburg family?"

"Just wait patiently, and then it will depend on whether the Li Group can support us!"

Chen Fei was completely confused. What did the Li family have to do with this? Could they make the Habsburg family bleed?

Unable to figure it out, Chen Fei simply stopped thinking about it. He would naturally know what was going on when the time came.

Then he stood quietly aside, listening to Su Chen and Xie He chatting.
