Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 404: Wang Chengdong's Friendship
Guoxun Electronics has been on a good track recently, thanks to its strong technical capabilities, excellent products, and the endorsement of a giant technology company like Huayao, so it has received a lot of orders.

Confidence is overflowing within Guoxun Electronics. Not to mention the core executives, even ordinary middle-level managers exude arrogance, or pride, on a daily basis.

Liu Fengguo is a very difficult executive to hire, not because they are arrogant, but because they are worried that the competition for orders will be too serious.

In fact, the current order surge is already very serious, and the production line is already running dry and smoking.

We can’t produce enough. We simply can’t produce enough.

When Hu Pingyang wanted to invite Liu Fengyang to dinner, no matter how many times he mentioned it, he would politely refuse.

Seeing Liu Fengguo here at this time, he is most likely here to attend this meeting.

Hu Pingyang immediately went up to greet Liu Fengguo, and Zhao Lina also quickly followed.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, you are here."

"Hello, Mr. Hu! Oh, Mr. Hu's wife is here too."

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Liu Fengguo’s attitude is much better than before.

Although he was very polite before, that was all. When we met this time, there seemed to be a little more enthusiasm.

Of course, it is also possible that people may appear to be more relaxed and at ease outside the company.

Hu Pingyang asked: "Mr. Liu, are you here..."

Liu Fengguo was stunned: "Ah? Aren't we going to have dinner with Mr. Hu and the others?"

Hu Pingyang smiled happily when he heard it: "Yes, yes, that's right, I just want to confirm. By the way, I have already taken a number. There are two tables in front. I can go in after a while."

Zhao Lina said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, we're a little late, otherwise we might have gone in directly."

Liu Toyota waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Meng hasn't arrived yet."

Hu Pingyang was stunned: "Director Meng, is he coming too?"

Liu Toyota raised his eyebrows: "Of course, Director Meng will definitely come!"

The smile on Hu Pingyang's face deepened.

Mr. Meng, also known as Meng Jingtao, is the chairman of Guoxun Electronics, and also the big boss.

Hu Pingyang has been to Guoxun Electronics several times, but has never met Meng Jingtao. It's not that he deliberately avoided him, but he was usually busy and had endless meetings to attend.

I didn’t expect that even Meng Jingtao would come today. This was a surprise for Hu Pingyang and Zhao Lina.

Hu Pingyang smiled and said, "It's rare that Mr. Meng would show me his favor!"

Liu Toyota was about to speak when Meng Jingtao arrived.

Hu Pingyang and Zhao Lina perked up and chatted with Meng Jingtao for a while.

Meng Jingtao is about 50 years old, looks quite ordinary, and dresses quite simply. He is a typical old-school mainland entrepreneur.

Such entrepreneurs are the most hardworking and cannot be said to be very skilled in dealing with people. The advantage is that they are relatively down-to-earth, don't talk much, and don't beat around the bush.

Meng Jingtao said, "By the way, Mr. Hu, what is your relationship with Mr. Wang?"

"Mr. Wang? Oh, Mr. Wang Chengdong. One of my nephews knows Mr. Wang. After we contacted each other, we got in touch with you."

"I see. Your nephew is quite capable. Mr. Wang will not easily help you with this kind of thing."

"Haha, that's right, that's necessary, it's all because of your giving me face."

Hu Pingyang knew very well that the reason why Meng Jingtao was there was 100% because of Wang Chengdong's relationship.

Only Wang Chengdong has such a great face that he can invite Meng Jingtao over to sit down and chat with him.

It seems that Hu Jiangshan has really made progress. It is not easy to get Wang Chengdong to put so much effort into helping him.

Hu Pingyang heard that Wang Chengdong was a very principled person. No, it was Huayao's style that he never interfered with the business activities of subsidiaries and affiliated companies. At most, he just did some coordination work.

To find Wang Chengdong's connections and do something like this, one must either have strong personal connections or a very close relationship with Huayao.

To be honest, Hu Pingyang still hasn't figured out which category Hu Jiangshan is.

Just then, Hu Jiangshan finally arrived.

Hu Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Jiangshan finally arrived on time and was not late, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.

Neither Meng Jingtao nor Liu Fengguo knew Hu Jiangshan, and they did not expect that Hu Pingyang's nephew was such a young man.

Hu Jiangshan is indeed handsome, calm and composed, but he is too young, has no experience and is not reliable.

Why was Hu Jiangshan able to invite Wang Chengdong?
This doesn't make sense. Is there some hidden story behind this?
Of course, they couldn't show any disdain or contempt to his face. They still had to greet him. After all, he was introduced by Wang Chengdong, so they had to give him some consideration.

Hu Pingyang was talking to Meng Jingtao.

Zhao Lina pulled Hu Jiangshan aside and asked in a low voice: "Ashan, can Mr. Wang come today?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, he will be here soon. He said he will be here soon. He is on his way."

"Oh, that's good. With President Wang here, everything will be easy to discuss."

At this time, someone came over.

A middle-aged man, about fifty years old, slightly plump, with a silly look, he walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, showing great confidence and authority.

It was Wang Chengdong who came.

When Meng Jingtao and Liu Fengguo saw Wang Chengdong, they immediately walked over, shook hands with him and exchanged greetings.

Guoxun Electronics has not always been so strong. It was a company that almost died because of lack of money, too much investment in research and development, and a broken capital chain.

Fortunately, Huayao had a keen eye and discovered the potential of Guoxun Electronics. It invested real money in it, which not only saved Guoxun Electronics, but also helped them further develop their technology, making Guoxun Electronics' product research and development capabilities even stronger.

As long as Huayao identifies a company with potential, it will do its utmost to help it develop. It will provide whatever it needs, including funds and engineers, and will not make excessive demands.

This is also the reason why Huayao can become the most influential technology company in China.

Of course Hu Pingyang also reacted quickly. Although he had never seen Wang Chengdong in person, he had seen his videos and photos more than once, so he could naturally recognize him easily.

After all, Wang Chengdong is a big shot, and is very famous in the technology and business circles at home and abroad.

Wang Chengdong walked over surrounded by a crowd of people. Zhao Lina was about to go up and say hello, but Wang Chengdong must have seen Hu Jiangshan, walked over with a smile, and patted Hu Jiangshan on the shoulder.

"Brother Hu, long time no see." Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Boss Wang, it's been a long time. You are getting healthier and healthier. It seems that the food is good!"

"Hey, Brother Hu, you are making fun of me for being fat. You have a really vicious tongue."

"No, no, this is a good thing. It means that Mr. Wang is in a good mood recently and can eat."

What Hu Jiangshan said was very true. Now Wang Chengdong could indeed eat and sleep well. He felt more relaxed and naturally gained weight.

After the chip problem was solved, Huayao's life became much better. Wang Chengdong, as the boss of the terminal business, could finally rest assured.

Now Wang Chengdong's goal has shifted to the overseas market, striving to take back everything that belongs to Huayao.

But it is not easy. Due to the limitations of the software ecosystem, Huayao has not yet found a way to break through. But it doesn’t matter, just take it slow. As long as there is no survival problem, we will have the confidence to succeed.

Hu Jiangshan and Wang Chengdong were chatting back and forth, which stunned everyone else.

Who would have thought that Hu Jiangshan and Wang Chengdong were so familiar with each other, like old friends.

This was beyond everyone's expectations. You know, there was such a big age gap between Hu Jiangshan and Wang Chengdong, how could they be like friends?
Isn't this almost like friendship between people of different ages?

When Hu Pingyang and Zhao Lina saw this situation, they were naturally surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that Hu Jiangshan really looked like the real deal. When communicating with a big shot like Wang Chengdong, he was so mature and steady, and didn't seem scared at all. This was really rare for a young man.

To put it more exaggeratedly, he has the style of a great general.

No wonder Yuan Caihua always said that her son Hu Jiangshan had made progress.

This is not just improvement, it's a complete transformation.

The good news is that Hu Jiangshan and Wang Chengdong have such a good relationship, so the cooperation with Guoxun Electronics is more promising.

Zhao Lina whispered to Hu Pingyang, "Ashan is really good. When did he become so capable? Why didn't I see it before?"

Hu Pingyang shook his head: "It's really weird. What happened? My brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything. I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. This is a good thing anyway."

"that's right."

When Wang Chengdong heard that Hu Pingyang had taken a number and was waiting in line, he smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, we don't need to queue. This restaurant is invested by a friend of mine. I asked him to ask the store manager here to reserve a private room. We can just go in directly."

As he spoke, Wang Chengdong walked to the front desk and spoke to the waiter. Sure enough, someone soon led them into the restaurant.

The decoration and environment of this restaurant are really great. It has an ancient style with carved beams and painted buildings, and even small bridges and streams, making you feel as if you are in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Soon, the waiter took them to a private room.

This private room is quite large, about 20 square meters, with a large dining table and a set of tea tables with a full set of tea sets.

Apparently, not only can you eat here, you can also chat and drink tea.

Wang Chengdong asked everyone to sit down.

Everyone ordered their dishes in an extremely courteous atmosphere, and then chatted while drinking tea.

It started with just small talk, chatting about everything under the sun.

Hu Pingyang did take some initiative. After all, he had been doing business in Southeast Asia for many years and had done quite well. He was already an experienced veteran there and had encountered almost all kinds of things.

Everyone here is a businessman, and you are bound to be planning to develop business in Southeast Asia. Naturally, you are very concerned about the business and market environment there.

Of course, that’s all there is to it. After all, large-scale companies all have their own research teams, and their intelligence gathering capabilities are still very strong.

Huayao, in particular, has made good progress in the Southeast Asian market in recent years. Even during the worst period some time ago, the mobile phone industry retained some business in Southeast Asia and did not completely fail.

After chatting about all these things, the food started to arrive.

This restaurant serves food really quickly, and the dishes are all good, with good color, aroma and taste. No wonder Wang Chengdong recommended this place.

However, few people picked up their chopsticks because they had already gotten to the point, except for Hu Jiangshan, of course.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care about all that. He just wanted to fill his stomach first.

Hu Jiangshan didn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning and was hungry.

As for what his uncle and aunt were talking about, Hu Jiangshan didn't have to get involved.

It has come to this point, they should be able to handle it themselves.

At this time, Hu Pingyang said: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Meng, Mr. Liu, you should all know my situation. I really need high-quality large-size capacitors. To be honest, we have visited many companies in the mainland, and currently only Guoxun Electronics has the technical level and product strength that can meet our requirements, so we really hope to establish a cooperative relationship with Guoxun Electronics."

Zhao Lina nodded and said: "Thank you for your help. I'm not afraid of being laughed at. We have not had any work for two months. If the supply problem cannot be alleviated after the Chinese New Year, the production line may have to shut down. I am really anxious."

The others nodded in understanding.

We are all entrepreneurs and we all know how important supply chain security is.

The most frustrating situation for manufacturing companies is not the lack of orders, but when there are orders, there are problems with the supply chain and parts cannot be supplied. They can only wait for the delivery date but are powerless and can only breach the contract.

It was just like stepping into a swamp, with no strength to climb out.

Wang Chengdong said to Meng Jingtao, "Boss Meng, can you arrange something for us? I know your production capacity is also very tight, but if we squeeze in, there will always be room. It's not like there is no space at all."

Meng Jingtao took a sip of tea and nodded: "Okay, I think it's no problem. At worst, we can produce a batch of goods first, and you can use them first. We can solve the urgent problem later."

Hu Pingyang's face lit up: "Mr. Meng, that's great. As long as we solve the urgent problem first, we can take it slow."

Zhao Lina glanced at Hu Pingyang and added, "Mr. Meng, Mr. Wang, please don't delay the subsequent production for too long. We are exhausted and frightened because of the shortage of goods. It's really too difficult."

Meng Jingtao laughed: "Don't worry, I know the difficulties you are facing now. Our company has encountered this situation before. To be honest, it is really heartbreaking. I don't want to go through this again."

Hu Pingyang and Zhao Lina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Jingtao nodded. This was more important than anything else.

The couple was not afraid that Meng Jingtao would go back on his word. As such a big boss, he would not fail to do what he promised, not to mention that he had Wang Chengdong's endorsement.

Hu Pingyang asked: "Mr. Meng, we have actually submitted the drawings to you. Can you produce some samples as soon as possible? We will take them back for testing and arrange production once there are no problems."

Meng Jingtao said: "That's no problem. I'll have someone produce the samples within three days."
