Chapter 562 Friction Escalation
"Mr. Lu, try our specialty latte."

Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at Chen Jinchun, who was playing with the dog at the door, and said nervously, "Mr. Lu, do you still remember me?"

Ever since she heard that Lu Liang drove to Laundry on his own, she looked forward to their meeting every day.

Sometimes I have to go out, and I dare not leave for too long, for fear of missing the chance to see someone for the last time in this life.

Lu Liang said softly: "How could I forget, Miss Qingyin."

Yang Xiaoxiao was delighted, but she also glared at him coquettishly: "Boss Lu, just call me Xiaoxiao."

She had always wanted to forget the past, didn't want to mention it, and was even afraid of others knowing it. However, Lu Liang was an exception, because if she forgot that past, Lu Liang would not remember her.

"Ms. Yang, how have you been these past two years?"

Lu Liang smiled, drank his coffee, and looked at the decoration of the shop, the prayer flags and prayer wheels in the snow area, various unique trinkets, and the walls were covered with photos of tourists.

"Thanks to you, it's fine."

Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and looked at the two cars at the door, one was a Porsche Macan and the other was a Toyota Prado.

She has always believed in Lu Liang. Not only did she subscribe to the Tianxing public fund with the full amount of 200 million, she also held the shares of Ningde Times for a long time, waiting for the day when its market value would exceed one trillion yuan.

Left alone for more than a year, the assets more than doubled, the coffee shop also added a homestay project, and there was income from self-media, with a net profit of at least 30 a month.

She is now a well-deserved multi-millionaire.

"Is that your boyfriend?"

The two walked and talked until they came to the backyard.

There is a store and a coffee shop in the front yard, and a homestay in the back yard. There is a boy watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

He is very tall and handsome. If he stands with Yang Xiaoxiao, they should look like a good couple.

Yang Xiaoxiao muttered quietly, with a hint of blame in her words: "Boss Lu, I don't have a boyfriend yet."

She deleted all her old WeChat friends, leaving only Lu Liang.

The day she left Shanghai, she said that if she blocked Lu Liang one day, it would mean that she had a boyfriend, and they would never see each other again.

"Haven't met the right one?" Lu Liang was surprised, and obviously had forgotten about this matter.

"Maybe."

Yang Xiaoxiao nodded, and the look in her eyes towards Lu Liang was filled with an indescribable emotion.

Maybe because she used to be a welfare girl, she has seen too many disgusting sides of men.

It may also be because we are in Chengdu, except for Tianfu Avenue, all other roads in this city are curved.

She has been single for the past two years.

But strangely enough, she didn't dislike the memories of her time with Lu Liang in the Magic City.

"Mr. Lu, I noticed there's a new homestay here..."

The Labrador pig was annoyed by the teasing and went straight into the doghouse. Xiao Chen was very sad and ran to find Lu Liang.

Then she found the two of them talking, and she asked in surprise: "Boss Lu, do you know the lady boss here?"

"We've met once before." Lu Liang nodded.

Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and extended her hand to say hello: "Hello, Xiao Chen, I've watched your videos and I like you very much."

She suddenly invited him, "I see your live broadcast seems to be over today, and it's getting late now, why don't you stay here?"

"it is good……"

Chen Jinchun was very naive and didn't think much about it. When the words came to his lips, he suddenly looked at Lu Liang.

She really likes the decoration style here, which is very photogenic, but she doesn’t know if Boss Lu can get used to it.

"Mr. Lu, if you live here, it will definitely make my humble home more glorious."

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Liang, seemingly begging, but also with a hint of coquettishness.

"That's all right. Just help me pick a cleaner and quieter one." Lu Liang nodded slightly.

"No problem." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "Mr. Lu, we also provide dinner here. I will go and ask the chef to make a few more delicious dishes tonight."

Lu Liang hummed, and suddenly his cell phone rang. He walked to the side and answered it.

"Old Xu, do you feel that something is a little strange?"

Xiao Chen frowned, feeling puzzled, and suddenly called out to Xu Jiawei who was passing by.

This time, they were not only traveling by car with four people, but also followed by two business Mercedes-Benz cars. Xu Jiawei, Fang Shiyu and Lu Liang's security guards were all behind them, helping them deal with some travel trivia and sudden official business.

"Sister Chen, you're worrying too much."

Xu Jiawei felt a little guilty, and only Chen Jinchun could not see the relationship between them.

His sister Chen is still a very innocent little girl, and her values ​​need to be well protected.

I just have to admire him. People often say that the whip is too long to reach, but the boss's whip seems to be unusually long.

From Shanghai to Chengdu, the two places are more than 2,000 kilometers apart, but he still managed to meet his old lover.

"Is it?"

Holmes Chen's attack failed, and she glared at him: "You are so annoying, I told you not to call me Sister Chen."

Xu Jiawei laughed dryly: "Okay, Sister Chen."

"..." Chen Jinchun was speechless.

"Friction escalated?"

Lu Liang frowned. Sun Yutao called him. Just now, the spokesperson of the State Press and Publication Administration made a speech.

It is proposed to impose a 545% tariff on 25 types of goods from the United States, including agricultural products, precision parts and components, and aquatic products.

The total value is exactly 340 billion US dollars, which is exactly the same as the total value of the goods on which the United States imposes tariffs.

Their counterattack also represents an escalation of friction. Unless someone voluntarily admits defeat, there is no room for peace talks.

"Don't move the funds hidden in there yet. Wait for my news. You can go back in two days."

Lu Liang looked at the date. Today was April 4rd, exactly as the voice had predicted.

Although there are minor problems and the butterfly effect continues, the international situation cannot be changed and nothing has gone wrong so far.

That evening, the news reached the United States, and the White House spokesman immediately held a press conference and made a speech.

The date for imposing additional tariffs is set as July 7, and a number of high-tech companies such as Huawei will also be included in the Entity List.

From now on, any European and American company is prohibited from selling related products and technologies to them, and pressure will be put on TSMC to immediately stop its wafer foundry services.

The chip independently developed by Dongda is only 12 nanometers and can only be designed but not mass-produced, so it needs to be manufactured through outsourcing.

The mainstream chip in the current market is 7 nanometers, and only a few companies in the world, such as TSMC, can manufacture and produce it.

They are trying to hit the snake at its weakest point, and they are planning to repeat the tactics of the 1980s. Just like they dismembered Japan’s semiconductor industry, they are also dismembering the leading technology companies of the University of Tokyo.

Because semiconductor chips are core components of today's electronic devices, their position is irreplaceable.

Semiconductor chips are everywhere, from smartphones and computers to cars and industrial equipment.

If the high-precision application chip field of Tokyo University is destroyed, it would be like the Trisolarans locking the earth's technology.

"It's time to come, and it's finally here."

Lu Liang sighed. Faced with this situation, even if he had ten times more funds, he would be powerless.

I can only silently cheer for the flower in my heart, hoping that it can get through this crisis safely.

If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up, but if the tall person cannot hold it up, the short person will fall.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left unbroken. If Lu Liang could help, he would definitely help, but he had no other choice.

At night, Lu Liang was still browsing international news, paying attention to the attitudes of governments of various countries towards this matter.

Just like a widely circulated panda picture, a panda stands on the table with one foot, shouting: "Come on, if you dare~"

Apart from the small countries in Africa and Latin America, which can lend a few helping hands, there is no practical difference between them and being isolated and helpless.

It’s exactly the same as before, one against a group.

"Mr. Lu, have you rested?"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoxiao's voice was heard outside the door. Lu Liang walked over to open the door. She was holding a glass of milk and said with a smile, "The weather in Shu is still a little cold now. It's better to sleep with a cup of hot milk."

"Is it?"

Lu Liang smiled as he looked at the delicate makeup on Yang Xiaoxiao's face, and the lace pajamas faintly visible from the collar of her coat.

He took the milk with one hand to avoid spilling it all over the floor, and directly pulled Yang Xiaoxiao into his arms, saying with a smile: "Why do I feel like I'll sleep better if I hold you in my arms?"

Don't come to my house, it's treasonous.
But he will be careful about his safety since he hasn't seen her for two years.
