Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 298 Jian Xiaojie urges: Get in the car quickly! (6k views, please subscribe)

Being excellent is a good thing, but being too excellent is another matter entirely. There are too many examples in the world of "the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind."

On an individual level, a prodigy Go player might commit suicide due to family reasons, a math genius might choose to give up because of his parents' troubles, and even a farmer who gets rich overnight through the internet might be dragged into a quagmire by his neighbors.

and so.

When someone suddenly becomes successful, the first thing they do is to "distance themselves from the people around them".

On a higher level, there are countless cases of large and powerful companies inexplicably collapsing.

Rong Nianqing was certainly aware of these cases, so she had always played the role of "protecting" Lü Yao during his rise to power. Now, the boundaries within her family have been basically defined, and the position of her faction has gradually become stable thanks to the joint efforts of both the internal and external parties.

So she couldn't understand why Lü Yao was still so worried.

Rong Nianqing said, "Once our Microlight International successfully develops advanced chip manufacturing processes, our position will be more secure. So my suggestion is that instead of spreading our resources so thin, we should focus on doing one thing well."

Lü Yao understood Rong Nianqing's thoughts.

In the latter half of the year before last and last year, problems arose within Rong Nianqing's family, and the authorities began to sideline Rong Nianqing's family, which aroused a lot of speculation from the outside world, and Rong Nianqing's family did indeed experience great turmoil.

Because of following Lü Yao's advice in 2013, Huasheng Life Plaza was established, and the company continued to focus on benefiting the people. With this foundation, there was room for maneuver later.

As Rong Nianqing's position within the physical faction gradually stabilizes, coupled with the foundation of her faction's past, it's normal for Rong Nianqing to feel that no one dares to touch her.

This is a difference in perception.

The view from different heights is naturally different, and therefore the thoughts that arise will also be different.

Lu Yao smiled and sighed, "Yes, if we successfully develop the chip manufacturing process, it would indeed be a remarkable achievement. The problem is... when it first comes out, can we hold onto it?"

Rong Nianqing frowned slightly.

Given their current size, is it difficult for them to maintain their chip manufacturing process?
Rong Nianqing didn't find it difficult because she lacked a future perspective and didn't know how serious the chip war would become in the future.

Because of the meddling of a certain blond-haired guy, the future status of chips will not only be a vital national asset, but will also determine the life and death of domestic enterprises worth trillions of yuan.

Against this backdrop, suddenly the higher-ups started taking stock, and lo and behold, they discovered that there was a domestic company that could mass-produce 14nm-level, or even more advanced, chips... Guess what happened?

Without prestige, Weiguang International will quietly disappear in the future.

Even with fame and prestige, one will still face the inevitable tribulations.

Lü Yao was not exaggerating.

SMIC is pretty impressive, right? But during the time Lü Yao spent studying abroad, didn't he gradually fade from the public eye and lose his former high profile?
After Lü Yao explained the pros and cons and the future prospects of the chip industry to Rong Nianqing, Rong Nianqing, who was in the present moment, still could not understand the huge sense of crisis in Lü Yao, but she also realized that Lü Yao was not worrying unnecessarily.

Rong Nianqing understands that even current allies can betray you if the benefits are great enough.

Therefore, the more cards you have up your sleeve, the better.

After clinking glasses with Lü Yao, Rong Nianqing said, "My family does have a tourism business. If you need resources in this area, I can find someone to connect you with them. But I won't get involved in this part of my business."

This is a bit too much trouble for little reward.

The tourism resources belong to the public.

Even if the company leases the property, it will face all sorts of local problems. Therefore, those in Rong Nianqing's family who want to do this kind of business are basically people from families that are not very successful, or people in the group who are retired or semi-exiled.

These people were sent to those places to contact local gentry and merchants, integrate resources, and then collect rent, which was considered a semi-secure job.

Rong Nianqing hadn't paid attention to this part of the business, but the reports for this part of the business never looked good at the annual family meetings, and the family didn't really care about this part of the business. Anyway, the connection between these companies and the family was relatively weak, and most of the profits were given to various places.

Lü Yao understood Rong Nianqing's reaction.

While studying abroad, he also traveled frequently due to work and women. He visited high-altitude areas, Miao regions, the Gobi Desert, and ice fields. In each place, he would chat with the locals and learn a lot of inside stories about the tourism industry that only the locals knew.

After being reborn, Lü Yao is now at a higher level, has met more people, and has learned more inside information than he has, making the situation even more complicated.

Take Guizhou Province, which Lü Yao visited, for example. Even if its tourism resources are not as good as those in western Sichuan, they are not far behind.

However, the development of the tourism industry in Qianzhou Province is actually not satisfactory.

It wasn't until ten years later, after most of the popular tourist attractions in China had been commercially developed, that Qianzhou Province began to gain popularity.

Guizhou Province initially gained attention through its cuisine...

Once you actually travel there, you'll find that the infrastructure is excellent and there are many great projects, but these projects often end up being half-finished, leaving behind a dilapidated and aging structure.

Such cases are not isolated incidents.

Before discussing this matter with Rong Nianqing, Lü Yao had already spoken with some of the managers there, leveraging his personal connections.

After the conversation, Lü Yao was speechless.

The idea there is that they warmly welcome companies from other places to invest and develop the tourism industry. In short, as long as they bring money and get the project going, they are very welcome.

But when it comes to the accumulation of humanities and software, they become vague.

They have no interest in things that are unseen over there.

Later, with the help of people around him, Lü Yao got in touch with a tourism company in Maolan and learned that the company developing tourism resources in Maolan was currently in a terrible predicament, and the reason for this was self-evident.

There are so many messy things happening in just one place...

If it's truly a heavy investment, even with Rong Nianqing backing him up, Lü Yao will eventually be drained of all his resources.

So it's perfectly normal that Rong Nianqing didn't want to get involved.

Given the abundance of high-value, high-net-worth projects in hand, venturing into the tourism industry is hardly a wise move.

After Rong Nianqing finished speaking, she added, "Although you plan to do this using an internet-based approach, it actually involves quite a few things. It's best if you don't get involved yourself and have someone else do it for you."

"If you can't find suitable people, I can help you find someone."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Okay, I will definitely listen to your advice."

That's all for the serious business we discussed at tonight's dinner.

The rest was that Lü Yao hadn't had a get-together with Rong Nianqing and Jian Xiaojie in a long time, so after finishing their business, everyone chatted casually.

Because everyone teased Lü Yao quite a bit when he first arrived, they didn't tease him much after that.

They chatted about their recent experiences and occasionally discussed issues related to projects, but these were all minor matters unrelated to the overall strategy, so they weren't as serious as before.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Lü Yao said with a smile, "Alright, it's getting late."

Zhu Junyan checked the time: "This is nothing! How about we have a second show? I've been looking at a lot of outstanding artists lately, and everyone can help me take a look."

Rong Nianqing smiled and politely declined, saying, "I'd better not, I have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Needless to say, Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie were also involved.

In the end, it was Gan Xiaoxi who looked at the group of people around her with disdain: "Sometimes I really admire you guys. Why are you all so fussy? Can't you just relax a little?"

Zhu Junyan immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, how about it, Sister Xi, come with me to the second show?"

Gan Xiaoxi replied without hesitation, "No, I want to go back to sleep too."

Zhu Junyan was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Why were you being so righteous and indignant earlier? It was as if you were going to the second round.

Gan Xiaoxi hugged Rong Nianqing's arm and said with a smile, "It would be so boring for me to go with you. I might as well go back with Nianqing."

The main reason is that those people were playing too vulgar games.

As soon as her identity was revealed, she would often feel an aura that made her very uncomfortable, far less pleasant than the initial impression she had. With a "top-tier companion" like Lü Yao ahead of her, Gan Xiaoxi naturally looked down on everyone else.

Since no one else was going, Zhu Junyan also lost interest in the second round. Everyone said goodbye in front of the restaurant and went home.

As they were leaving, Jian Xiaojie called out to Lü Yao and Wang Shu, "Come on, I'll take you home."

But Lü Yao said with a smile, "It's not convenient tonight, we have more important things to do."

Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie immediately understood what the more important matter was.

Wang Shu looked at Lü Yao with a hint of surprise and even delight, not expecting that Lü Yao would remember her ovulation period... Jian Xiaojie's eyelids twitched, and she tilted her head to ask, "Are you all better now?"

Lü Yao laughed: "I'm young, almost three months is enough for me to detox."

Wang Shu also said with a smile, "These things can't be accomplished in one go; we'll definitely have to try for a while longer."

Although he never wanted to talk about age, Wang Shu was indeed much older than Lü Yao, and the older one gets, the lower the success rate of such things tends to be.

After gritting her teeth for a moment, Jian Xiaojie suddenly urged fiercely, "So what? What am I delaying? Get in the car!"

Lu Yao and Wang Shu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

Unable to resist Jian Xiaojie's insistence, Lü Yao and his companion eventually got into Jian Xiaojie's car and returned to Wang Shu's apartment together.

Having been away for so long, Lü Yao felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity upon returning. His mind and body instantly relaxed, and the feeling of wandering and the faint sense of loneliness that had been lingering in his heart slowly dissipated.

When Wang Shu turned on the ambient lights and the record player, and the soothing and melodious music filled the room, Lü Yao's long-dormant heart began to stir.

Wang Shu said with a smile, "I'm going to take a shower."

Jian Xiaojie didn't stand on ceremony at all: "I'll go with you." Then she turned around and glared at Lü Yao, saying, "Although a world of three isn't crowded, a bedroom for three is still too crowded."

It means: You better be smart.

Lu Yao didn't say anything, he just smiled and shrugged.

It's like I'm trying to steal it from you.

When Jian Xiaojie and Wang Shu came out of the bathroom, their faces were flushed, whether from the high temperature of the shower or from what they had done in there.

Lü Yao smiled and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When they came out again, they found that Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie had changed into very stylish clothes and were snuggled together on the sofa.

Wang Shu changed into a beige satin slip dress, her slightly curled hair cascading over her shoulders, making her look exceptionally gentle and virtuous. However, due to Jian Xiaojie's meddling, Wang Shu's seductive gaze added a lot of allure to her.

Jian Xiaojie changed into a satin peony green nightgown with a diagonal placket. The nightgown was loose and draped over Jian Xiaojie's body, then spread out on the living room sofa like a light and fresh peony flower. This outfit, which should have been fresh and elegant, became particularly tainted because of Jian Xiaojie's explosive figure and incomparable eyes.

It turns out that "external things" really can be polluted by "spirit".

If Wang Shu wore the same bathrobe that Jian Xiaojie was wearing, it would definitely give off a completely different vibe from Jian Xiaojie's.

The off-white nightgown that Wang Shu wore would also give off a different vibe on Jian Xiaojie.

And this moment.

The two women, with their distinctly different temperaments, are entangled together like Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen in Tsui Hark's film "Green Snake".

This scene is exceptionally pleasing to the eye!

It also makes one's heart race.

When Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie's entanglement reached its most critical point, Lü Yao transformed into a mighty dragon like Fahai, wanting these two demons, Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie, to help him cultivate.

Everything was fine at first.

However, Jian Xiaojie suddenly acted maliciously at the last moment, stealing Lü Yao's Dao Fruit ahead of time.

Wang Shu, who had been exuding boundless charm, was stunned, and Lü Yao also slowly gasped for breath.

Jian Xiaojie, however, smiled alluringly and without any fear, saying, "Don't blame me, it's because you're not strong enough."

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie looked at Lü Yao provocatively.

Wang Shu was genuinely a little angry.

But Lü Yao gracefully withdrew after his mission, saying with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm young and full of energy." Then, Lü Yao looked at Jian Xiaojie with amusement, "But you...aren't you afraid?"

Jian Xiaojie smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I have plenty of ways to handle it."

Lü Yao smiled.

There's really no need to worry about that.

Modern medical technology is very advanced, and there are many methods of contraception available, including conventional long-acting and short-acting contraceptive pills, as well as subdermal implants, internal implants, and other contraceptive methods.

Wang Shu looked at Jian Xiaojie with a hint of helplessness: "Why do you have to do this?"

Jian Xiaojie lay down and rested her head on Wang Shu's lap, saying, "If you want to do it, then do it. It's not like you've only known me for a day."

She knew that what she was doing was childish, but she felt really uncomfortable if she did nothing.

Jian Xiaojie is not the type of person who would compromise herself; she always does what she wants.

Lu Yao and Wang Shu both understood her personality, so although they were speechless, neither of them got angry.

Although Lü Yao still had the strength to fight again, his experience studying abroad taught him that excessive consumption of his vital energy would have side effects that would gradually appear as he got older.

Lu Yao remembered that his most extreme battle before was one that lasted for more than two hours. But since then, Lu Yao has not only failed to break through that battle time, but he has also only been able to tie the score a handful of times.

Although it's disheartening, a person's, especially a man's, fighting ability does indeed decline with time, as the body and blood deteriorate. The more aggressively one engages in physical activity when young, the more severely one's fighting ability declines as one gets older.

Even some of the men Lü Yao met later...

Every time we go out, I drag the girls from the shopping mall into a chat about life, ideals, philosophy, and even the universe and stars.

of course.

The girls at ShangK are also very sensible, since they are paid by the hour.

Now, with his seasoned experience and youthful physique, Lü Yao can unleash his full combat power without excessive exertion, a fact that Jian Xiaojie is best qualified to attest to.

After a fierce battle, all three were exhausted. They took a quick shower and fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the following period, Lü Yao, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared at the company.

The employees of MCN Company, Xinliao Network Technology Company, and Guang'an Network Games Company finally saw Lü Yao again after a long absence. After holding frequent small meetings with Yao Qiguang, Zhu Junyan, Feng Ji, and others to bring all aspects of the company back under control, Lü Yao finally managed to eliminate the impact of his disappearance during the Chinese New Year.

Although Lü Yao only disappeared for a few days, and none of the companies under his name are publicly listed, there were signs of instability in the companies during his absence.

The most outrageous rumor is that Guang'an Network Games is experiencing cash flow problems, and may not only be unable to compete with Tencent, but may even be unable to develop existing projects or pay salaries.

If it weren't for Yao Qiguang and his team constantly giving them encouragement, the company might have already descended into chaos.

So after Lu Yao returned and met with the senior executives, he held separate employee meetings to give the employees confidence.

Then, taking this opportunity, he said, "Besides improving my personal mind and body, he also had company considerations in mind during this retreat. He wanted to see what problems would arise in the company without his presence."

Then Lü Yao stated that he would trace the source of the disturbance.

Those who disrupt the company's stable operations are absolutely unacceptable.

In particular, there is a high possibility that there are spies sent by other large companies involved, and there may also be moles within the company who have been bribed by other large companies.

Therefore, at the end of February, Lü Yao's company began an internal audit.

This act of turning the tables not only eliminated the impact of Lü Yao's disappearance, but also made many people in the company with guilty consciences panic.

Actually, there's always been something fishy going on in the company.

However, Lu Yao and his team had taken precautions to maintain secrecy in different departments, and even in different parts of the same department, maximizing the "zero trust mechanism." As a result, the spies planted or the bribed moles were unable to obtain any particularly useful intelligence.

Because Lü Yao had previously devised a plan to kill a batch of chickens as a warning to others, the spies and agents he had planted became much more cautious.

Even if they couldn't obtain any useful intelligence, these people were still kept by the big company and placed in Lu Yao's company, just so that one day Lu Yao's company would fall into chaos on its own.

Their role became apparent during the time Lü Yao was missing.

just now.

This is a good opportunity to get rid of these bad apples.

However, the cleanup doesn't mean directly firing these people. Yao Qiguang's suggestion is to trace the root cause back to those people and then use these issues to coerce them into outsourcing, extracting their labor value at a lower cost.

That's why people say they come from big companies.

Outsourcing is a crucial part of cost management for large enterprises.

Some large corporations outsource work even two, three, or even four times.

For example, a mythological epic film released during the Spring Festival one year. Who would have thought that a film released during the Spring Festival, which claimed to have an investment of billions of yuan, had its very important special effects scenes outsourced for only five thousand yuan?

While the outside world was shocked after this incident was revealed, it is not uncommon in the business world.

Therefore, Lü Yao handed over this matter to Yao Qiguang to take charge of.

As March 2016 approached, things started to get busier.

First, Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun released the fifth-generation Xiaomi phone, still starting at 1999 yuan. The marketing strategy of adding features without increasing the price once again sparked a buying frenzy online. Regardless of what happens after this phone, Xiaomi's flagship transformation strategy will face difficulties.

Next year, the Xiaomi 6 is expected to sell only 5.5 million units, ranking second to last in the history of Xiaomi phone sales.

It's hard to say whether the Xiaomi Geek, a high-end model designed under the leadership of Lü Yao and to be released at the end of this year, can help the Xiaomi 6... No, it's still uncertain whether the Xiaomi Geek, a high-priced and high-spec domestic Android model, can gain market recognition.

It's 2016 now.

Domestically produced products are considered low-end and over-equipped, and the public's perception of this has not yet been changed.

A phone priced over 3,000 yuan is enough to calm consumers down.

Not to mention that Xiaomi Geeks are priced even higher than this...

It's really hard to say whether the market will accept it.

It's really possible that Lü Yao might stumble on this issue.

Besides the news from Xiaomi, good news also came from Huanxie Technology and even Wang Shan from Luoma Lake.

Back at Luoma Lake, Wang Shan's team had already helped Lü Yao develop a navigation software. To ensure the accuracy and convenience of the navigation, Wang Shan even used his personal connections and those of his mentor to enable the navigation software to access traffic databases from various regions.

The navigation system even incorporates the "BeiDou Navigation Satellite System"!
