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

When Lei Jun walked into the office, he saw Su Chen sitting leisurely on the tea table making tea. The tea leaves brewed with hot water released a refreshing tea aroma that filled the entire room.

"Come and sit down. I've just brewed a cup of West Lake Longjing Imperial Eighteen Trees. I don't know if it suits your taste!" Looking at Lei Jun who came in, Su Chen put down the fairness cup in his hand and raised his hand to point to the empty seat opposite.

"Eighteen trees in front of the emperor?!" A hint of surprise flashed in Lei Jun's eyes, and his gaze naturally fell on the tea table.

Looking at the fragrant teacup, Lei Jun walked to the tea table in three or two steps and sat down. He picked up the tea that Su Chen had poured for him and smelled it. A rich tea aroma rushed into his nose and went straight to the top of his head.

It's like the fragrance of fresh broad beans mixed with orchids, with the scent of spring grass and trees, which makes people intoxicated.

Lei Jun licked his lips and took a sip carefully. It was like a stream of sweet spring water rushing into his mouth. A faint sweetness of rock sugar rose in his throat with a slight hint of fruit sourness. It can be said that the sweetness returned quickly.

“What a great tea!”

As for Lei Jun's identity, he has tasted all kinds of tea on the market. It can be said that he has done in-depth research in the tea ceremony.

But he had never tasted the eighteen tea leaves in front of him.

After all, this stuff is basically not seen on the market. Except for the tea from the mother tree of Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain, which can surpass it in status, other teas are still a little inferior to it.

You should know that the origin of the Eighteen Imperial Trees is unusual. The Longjing tea currently on the market can be said to be its descendants. This alone is enough to illustrate its gold content in green tea.

What's more, the eighteen trees in front of the emperor were put under control and management by the state more than ten years ago, just like the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain.

In addition, the annual output of the Eighteen Imperial Trees is extremely rare, especially the Longjing before the Rain, which is the most precious among them.

As early as a few years ago, there was the only auction record of the 18 imperial tea leaves, and just 100 grams was auctioned for nearly 300,000 yuan. Some banks even regarded the tea as collateral and could use it as collateral proof.

These show how precious the tea leaves from the eighteen trees in front of the emperor are.

"I didn't expect Mr. Su had such top-grade tea. It also made my wish come true." After taking several sips, Lei Jun put down the teacup in his hand reluctantly and sighed.

Su Chen smiled faintly. He didn't expect that Lei Jun would praise this tea so much. He smiled and explained, "I got this tea from an elder!"

"To be honest, this is my first time drinking this tea, and it feels pretty good. It's slightly inferior to the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao I drank before."

There is no need to say much about whether it is precious or not. Anything that can catch the eyes of Mr. Xiao must be a good thing.

Su Chen has been drinking the tea "brought" back from Grandpa Xiao for a long time, and his taste has become picky.

Su Chen was not very interested in other common teas, which made him develop a bad habit, which was to ask Chen Fei to carry a small can of tea with him when he went out.

Hearing Su Chen's words, the expression on Lei Jun's face froze instantly, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he smacked his lips before reacting, "You just said... a little worse than the Da Hong Pao you drank?"

"Don't tell me... that what you drank before were all Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain?"

Apart from the Dahongpao from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, Lei Jun really can’t think of any other Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain that is more precious than the eighteen trees in front of the emperor.

Looking at Lei Jun's expression, Su Chen laughed secretly in his heart, satisfying his own bad taste a little.

He shrugged calmly, "Yes, it is indeed the Da Hong Pao from the mother tree in Wuyi Mountain. It tastes pretty good. I still have several taels at home. If you have time, you can come to my courtyard and sit down. I will make some for you to try."

When Lei Jun heard this, his pupils shrank slightly and his fingers holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.

Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao...how many ounces are left!

This was obviously a blatant show-off. Although Lei Jun knew it in his heart, for tea lovers, it was a huge temptation. How could he bear it?

Lei Jun took a deep breath, trying to calm his shocked heart, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it. Unfortunately... the Eighteen Imperial Trees that fascinated him before, now had no fragrance at all.

He put down the teacup in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mr. Su, you really are... a man who hides his true power!"

Lei Jun felt an inexplicable regret in his heart. If he had known this would be the case, he would never have made the call today.

Do you think this is just a simple tea tasting? If this is the case, Lei Jun doesn't need to stay in the business world anymore and should go home to take care of his children as soon as possible.

Tea tasting is secondary, demonstrating hard power is the key!
He and Su Chen had only met twice. The first time was because of the Li Group. They met by chance and reached a corresponding verbal agreement. The second time was naturally about Rongcheng signing a contract to acquire shares in Xiaomi and cooperate to establish a chip research center.

As for Su Chen, he only knew about Su Chen's Yunmengze Group and Xiaxin International. As for more information, he had no way of knowing it. He also sent people to investigate privately, but all the results were unsuccessful.

But today, they have taken the initiative to show you their weapons and only reveal the tip of the iceberg, just to let Lei Jun put away some of his unnecessary thoughts.

Don't think of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs and then abandoning the chicken.

"I'm not hiding it!" Su Chen took a sip of tea, with a faint smile on his face, "It's mainly because Mr. Lei and I don't have much contact. If you get to know me more in the future, you'll naturally know what kind of person I, Su Chen, am!"

When Lei Jun heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He naturally understood that this was an olive branch extended to him by Su Chen. He quickly picked up the fairness cup and poured himself a cup that was seven-tenths full, and then filled Su Chen's cup.

Then he smiled and responded: "Then Mr. Su, I will bother you more in the future. Don't blame me for missing your Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao when the time comes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became much more relaxed.

Su Chen smiled cheerfully, "If Mr. Lei likes it, you are welcome to come and taste it anytime. My courtyard doesn't have much, but there is plenty of good tea!"

The two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly, and in the air filled with the aroma of tea, an invisible confrontation had come to an end.

Lei Jun stroked the celadon teacup in his hand, and suddenly changed the subject. He looked at Su Chen and asked with a smile, "I guess Mr. Su has guessed the purpose of my visit, right?"

"Yeah!" Su Chen nodded slightly. Now there was no need to hide anything. After what happened before, everyone was now considered to be on the same boat.

"You should be here for the chip research center. Have you prepared all the preliminary work there?"

Building a new chip research center is not something that can be accomplished by just talking about it. Just the research environment required by the research center requires a lot of effort.

"To be honest, when we were building our headquarters in the imperial capital, we were thinking about building a chip research center that belongs to Xiaomi alone. Unfortunately, due to technical reasons, it has been shelved."

"That's right...After I confirmed the cooperation with you, I immediately restarted the research center. After half a month of sorting, it has reached the best standards, so I wanted to start the chip project as soon as possible."

Lei Jun was very frank and told the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, Su Chen's eyes flashed with approval. He was indeed a famous figure in the business world, and he had a long-term vision, even though the company did not have the strength to do so at present.

He leaned back, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, making a muffled sound. Su Chen began to think seriously about whether to give Lei Jun the corresponding chip technology or ask Zhengdao Park to send a few chip technicians over.

If we just send people, the progress in chips will definitely be slow. Even if those technicians have mastered some chip technologies, it will take at least a year and a half to turn them into results.

But if the corresponding chip technology is provided, with the financial resources of Xiaomi Group, I believe the chips can be manufactured in a short period of time. When combined with the OLED screen produced by the optoelectronic company under Yunmengze Group, a pure domestically produced machine can be said to be within reach.

But… this does not bring much benefit to Su Chen, but it is the most resolute step for the domestic mobile phone industry. Moreover, with the chip foundation, Xiaomi will definitely usher in a major change in other electronic projects, and may even drive the upgrade of the entire domestic electronic industry chain.

Thinking of this, Su Chen made up his mind. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at Lei Jun with deep eyes and said, "Mr. Lei, since I am one of the shareholders of Xiaomi Group, I will not beat around the bush. I will arrange for the chip technicians to be in place as soon as possible!"

"In addition... I will also provide the corresponding chip technical information, but I have a condition!"

Lei Jun's expression froze. He never thought that Su Chen would bring out the chip technology. Even if it was only about electronics, it would be enough for Xiaomi to digest for a long time.

He immediately sat up straight, and said with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Mr. Su, please speak!"

Lei Jun subconsciously used honorifics.

"Xiaomi must be deeply integrated with Yunmengze!" Su Chen put down the teacup in his hand and tapped the table with his fingertips. "It's not just chip cooperation. In the future, in the smart ecosystem, the Internet of Things... and even the field of new energy vehicles, we must advance and retreat together!"

Lei Jun's eyes flashed when he heard this. He instantly understood Su Chen's intention, which was to build a technological alliance spanning multiple fields.

But what is the new energy vehicle field at the end? Xiaomi is an electronics company, so how can it be related to cars?

Lei Jun didn't think much about it and thought that Su Chen wanted to include the entire electronic technology industry.

"Mr. Su is really generous!" Lei Jun took a deep breath, but he was thinking in his mind how to maximize the benefits!

He originally just wanted to talk about the chip research center and make Xiaomi the pride of domestic brands, but he didn't expect Su Chen to directly put forward a trillion-level industrial blueprint.

How could he refuse this? As long as Xiaomi Group has its own chip technology, then there is no need to worry about the lack of development prospects in other electronic industries.
With Xiaomi's own experienced users, there is no need to worry about those electronic products having no market. When the time comes, when the domestically produced label is added, it will definitely become the focus of countless Chinese people.

"Mr. Su, I agree to your conditions. Yunmengze will be the only strategic partner of Xiaomi Group in the future!" Lei Jun immediately stood up, stretched out his right hand, and said solemnly.

Su Chen also stood up and shook hands with Lei Jun. The two smiled at each other and saw ambition and determination in each other's eyes.

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Su Chen said with a smile.

.......
Su Chen immediately called Wu Jing in, explained the situation briefly, and asked him to arrange for the company's legal department to draft an in-depth cooperation agreement.

Wu Jing was shocked after hearing this. Although he felt like he was being scratched by a cat, he still knew what the situation was. He did not jump out to ask questions, but immediately arranged for the legal department to send the agreement to him.

After signing the corresponding agreement, Lei Jun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Su, I'm a little curious, why did you include new energy vehicles in it before? We at Xiaomi don't have any related layout at present, so why are you..."

Su Chen smiled softly, poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and then slowly said: "Boss Lei, the future technological competition is not just about electronic products. Behind new energy vehicles are smart driving, car networking, energy revolution... It can even be said to be the outlet of the next technological era."

"If Xiaomi is limited to mobile phones and home appliances, it will be a pity for the future!"

"Of course... all of this is just my guess. Whether or not that day will come is still unknown."

After saying that, Su Chen picked up the teacup and drank it, quietly looking at Lei Jun who was already lost in thought.

Su Chenzhi's idea is not groundless!
This was a guess I made after I had a night conversation with Mr. Jiang about the future of new energy at Yuquan Mountain, and after checking a lot of information on the Internet.

The automotive industry will definitely undergo changes in the future. Whoever enters this field first and is the first to try it out will get the biggest piece of the pie.

The main reason why Su Chen didn't want to get involved personally was that this business was too complicated, and it could be said that there was a lot of chaos going on.

But Xiaomi can do it. After years of deep cultivation in the mobile phone industry and other electronics industries, it has laid a solid user base. It is also quite easy for it to enter the field of new energy vehicles with its good reputation.

As for the internal competition in the automotive industry, can it ever surpass that in the mobile phone industry?

In addition, Xiaomi has always been following the affordable route, and its reputation in the industry is quite good, as well as Lei Jun’s unique personal charm.

To sum up, this is why Su Chen chose Xiaomi.

Lei Jun, who was lost in thought, found that his vision seemed a little short-sighted. His mind was filled with the future blueprint of the new energy vehicle field outlined by Su Chen. This industry alone might be able to reach the billion-level!

It took a long time for Lei Jun to come back to his senses, but he was no longer as calm as before. Even if he wanted to calm down his inner excitement, he had no way to do it.

As if noticing Lei Jun's strangeness, Su Chen said calmly: "Don't think too much. New energy vehicles are still too far away from you. The most important first step now is to master chip technology. After Xiaomi's own chips are launched, we can talk about the next path."

"As for new energy vehicles, all you can do now is to prepare the technology. When the time is right, everything will fall into place naturally!"

Lei Jun also understands that the field of new energy vehicles is still an unknown area for Xiaomi, and everything needs to start from scratch. What can be done now is to make good chips and prepare for future development.

After understanding what had happened, Lei Jun gradually calmed down, and at the same time, he put the matter of New Domain Automobile deep in his heart.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the office door, and Wu Jing's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Su, it's time for lunch, shall we go over now?"

Su Chen looked at the time and found that it was almost twelve o'clock. He smiled and said to Lei Jun: "Let's go and have a meal together!"

"Hehe, then I'll shamelessly eat for free!" Lei Jun naturally did not refuse. The main purpose of coming here today has been accomplished... no, it should be said that it has been a breakthrough. Of course he has to celebrate, even if he has to use someone else's venue.

Hearing this, Su Chen replied "Right away" towards the door, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

After Su Chen finished his cup, he saw Lei Jun directly picked up the fairness cup and filled his own cup after he finished drinking. The main tea was made from the Eighteen Trees of the Imperial Palace, so how could it be wasted?

After drinking three or four cups in a row, Lei Jun put down the cup with satisfaction.

Su Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and joked: "Boss Lei, this is just the first brew, the second brew will taste better, how about you take this teapot away?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun's eyes lit up. It's true that the taste of the Imperial Eighteen Trees is the best. "Hehe~ Mr. Su, this is not a good idea. After all, this tea set belongs to Mr. Wu. Why don't we take it to the place where we eat and drink some tea after dinner to relieve the greasiness."

Now it was Su Chen's turn. He never thought that the boss of Xiaomi Group would do such a thing for a pot of tea.

Dude, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?

Looking at the expectation on Lei Jun's face, Su Chen had no reason to refuse. After all, he was the one who said it.

"Okay, Mr. Lei, you take the teapot yourself!" Su Chen didn't care anymore. It wasn't him who was embarrassed anyway. Then the two of them walked out of the office one after another.

Wu Jing, who was standing at the door, saw Lei Jun holding his teapot carefully. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

After walking several meters away, he muttered, "Oh my god, why did Mr. Lei take my teapot away!"

Chen Fei, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "If you are a fan of the tea ceremony, your reaction to the Eighteen Tea Trees might not be as good as Mr. Lei's."

"Eighteen trees in front of the emperor?" Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Wu Jing naturally knew that this was a good thing that could not be bought with money.

Just when she was about to ask Chen Fei how he knew, she saw Chen Fei already following behind Su Chen and the others. Seeing this, Wu Jing suppressed her doubts and quickly followed. (End of this chapter)
