My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 364 Stop bothering me
This ensures that Wei Dong is completely unaffected by any filters.

Just like how he treated Steve, it was no different from how he treated Hong Kong businessmen.

There's absolutely no admiration for Steve Jobs or the advertising guru; everyone's just working together to make money.

Having spent forty years being ignored and looked down upon, his only inner weakness might be the hormonal impulses that he couldn't suppress at a young age.

Apart from that, Wei Dong basically doesn't talk about relationships.

From Zhang Lanzhi to Dong Xueying, he never had a romantic relationship.

Just do it.

We're all gathered here for mutual benefit, so there's no need to be so pretentious.

Especially since he had just tried to place a little bit of affection and trust in someone, only to have it pushed away again.

Only he himself probably understands that change in mindset.

It's completely different from the helplessness a typical child feels when their first love fails.

They wouldn't even bother to look at those glamorous women who admired their wealth and status.

Therefore, Qin Zhiming handled all the shooting of the Demimore jeans advertisement.

Wei Dong didn't have a chance to interact with this yet-to-be-famous actress at all, and accompanied the returning Steve on his journey west.

Those professional managers and investors who had previously joined forces in hopes of overthrowing Steve had now become flies drawn to him.

They all began to change their tune and secretly started contacting each other to defect.

I also want to travel to the East with them.

A business jet with a dozen or so seats isn’t enough, so shall we bring in a bigger one?
Steve was thoroughly fed up with this situation and, in a very temperamental way, told these guys to figure out their own alliances before coming to talk to him about the outcome.

Stop bothering me!

They completely disregarded these short-sighted individuals and didn't care what tricks they were up to.

The kind of confidence that Lao Tzu has in absolutely being able to control the situation.

It's obvious that the only cost change in this "upgrade" is the injection-molded color change rather than the paint change; even the two-button mouse wasn't included in the improvement.

However, the hot sales momentum has already spread throughout the country, with over 300,000 dealers across the country placing orders, facing a buying frenzy from electrical appliance stores and computer specialty stores in various states.

Sales will continue to rise as large quantities of goods are delivered.

Countless "previous generation" users came to the store to inquire, reserve, and receive new software and books.

In reality, each 400K floppy disk retails for one dollar, while Apple's purchase price is only a few cents.

A dozen or so disks for a few dollars can bring an "upgraded" experience.

Improve product reputation and eliminate persistent sales problems.

Steve, who used to always strive for high-level strategies, would never be able to pull off such a meticulous and calculated comeback.

The returns are substantial, and the stock market will also show confidence in this change, with rising stock prices being the biggest support for Steve.

So on the way back to Tokyo, Steve excitedly reviewed the gains and losses with Rang Weidong and discussed improvements to the new product.

Wei Dong felt that it was better to play cards with Qin Zhiming instead.

Wouldn't it be great to win tens of thousands of dollars along the way?

Qin Yuye's card-playing skills are so bad that no one wants to play with her.

When they arrived in Tokyo, the general agent there swarmed onto the plane, bowing and begging for the goods to be shipped.

After the previous advertisement, about 20,000 units were sold. Now that an "upgraded version" has appeared, it has naturally led to a sales frenzy.

The most popular computer for sale in Akihabara right now is undoubtedly the Macintosh computer.

It's a brand owned by Citibank, and with Steve Jobs' idol status, it's a product that Citibank is now enthusiastically promoting. How can its "sons" not bark and rave?

Positive reviews everywhere, people are excited about getting their new computers, and eagerly anticipate experiencing the new gift pack.

While Wei Dong was calling Lao Gao and the others to come over for the flight, and while Tanaka was arranging for people to deliver the various luggage and purchases they had previously made, he used the time in the VIP waiting area to call Jiangzhou City to report on the matter.

Aside from the lack of visas, this is definitely the first time a foreign chartered plane has arrived in Southwest China.

If we don't report it in advance, we'll probably be silently watched by countless anti-aircraft guns and air defense radars along the way!

Anyone who is too eager to make a name for themselves will be in big trouble.

Moreover, to date, the Jiangnan Economic Development Zone, as the first experimental field for reform and opening up in the mainland, has only stated that it accepts investment from compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan and overseas Chinese.

The hotel in Pyeongjin where Wei Dong stayed, which catered to foreigners, was also an investment project by overseas Chinese.

This is almost the first time that a purely foreign company has done this.

So he defered cleanly: "He came to take a look first. He asked to come and see for himself. I can guarantee that I will completely follow the arrangements. It's a record-breaking computer company listed on Wall Street, the most favored computer company by capital..."

The deliberately repeated phrases were sure to be easily understood by those in the city. The construction of the Xishan Building was part of the relocation plan for the Computer Research Institute, which has now been submitted to the city government.

At this juncture, Wei Dong's intentions in connecting with the world's most advanced computer company are quite clear.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll report to my superiors and resolve all the issues. Please wait a moment."

This is the power and vision required to govern a region.

Is it about following the rules out of fear of making mistakes, or about seizing opportunities and fully supporting and taking on risks?

The resulting reform and opening-up policy will bring about a completely different atmosphere.

Cities with independent planning status still have some unique characteristics.

Qin Yuye happily accepted the seven or eight suitcases belonging to the two of them, and also took the $400,000 payment for the first batch of jeans that Tanaka had brought, which had already been snapped up. He then excitedly ran to the airport duty-free shop to shop till he dropped.

Old Gao brought over five electromechanical experts who had worked tirelessly at the machinery factory and even received a labor fee.

Their souls were immediately cleansed by the vast gap in capitalism.

They spent about half a month in the rural-urban fringe of a satellite city on the outskirts of Tokyo, and they already felt that they had witnessed the beauty of the highest form of communist society.

Unexpectedly, for the wealthy, it was nothing more than a small, simple happiness for the poor.

A private car took them to the runway, where a small, elegant jet was parked next to the building. A beautiful and respectful female ground staff member, a Japanese woman, accompanied them as they boarded the plane, her back slightly bent.

Then I saw their leader, who was having a meeting with a bunch of foreigners, and he was excitedly pointing Lao Gao over to play cards!
Tanaka's card-playing skills are terrible.

This is quite a subversion of the attitude that everyone has been taught since childhood to be irreconcilably opposed to capitalists.

The handsome uncle has already happily secured a monthly supply guarantee of 50,000 pairs of jeans, and with the improvement of the new models, he can strive to increase it to 80,000 pairs.

Meanwhile, the general distributor of Dongying Computers secured the initial batch of 50,000 units from Steve.

Wei Dong took the opportunity to promote the idea: "See? As long as we solve the technical and equipment problems, I can expand production capacity almost infinitely. Currently, we produce more than 10,000 pairs of jeans a day, and with the supply from North America, it wouldn't be a big problem for us to increase it to 500,000 pairs a month. The same should be true for computers."

The translation was a bit tedious, so I earnestly pointed out: "Foreign manufacturers have very high requirements, and the mainland's outdated production scale cannot provide high-quality products, especially high-specification computer equipment..."

Wei Dong glanced at this highly educated woman who had been abroad for several years and immediately told her to get lost without hesitation: "You're just an emotionless language translator. What right do you have to inject your personal opinions into my business negotiations? Besides, your so-called opinions are all tainted with your prejudices. The situation is changing rapidly every day under the reform and opening-up policy. I can't stand such self-righteous words that negate the efforts of countless people. So get out of here now. I won't allow you to come back to China with me. You'll only be a thorn in my side in my business activities!"

Steve witnessed Wei Dong's rare outburst of anger, and without asking why, he fired the staff and took a flight back to Citibank.

He really wanted to know; there were plenty of opportunities to get a report back.

Qin Yuye might have received a reward from Citibank's assistants, which is why he was able to return with a full load ahead of schedule.

The staff delivered her shopping groceries on a trolley, making it the most enjoyable shopping experience she'd ever had in her eighteen years.

After boarding the plane with smiles on their faces, they first gave each of Lao Gao and the others a set of gifts for going abroad, including a portable music player, a digital watch, a suit, and a tie.

Then let Wei Dong show off the gifts he bought for everyone in Jiangzhou. There are seven or eight sets of fashion clothes and a whole box of cosmetics and skincare products. You can take them and give them away however you like.

The children's toys, children's clothing, SLR cameras, various small household appliances, plus various Japanese specialties, probably totaled around $100,000!
This is treating multinational corporations' business jets as transport planes.

In an instant, the slightly irritated young man was calmed down.

Anyway, Wei Dong had no idea where his sudden anger came from.

Even though he knew that at this level, such an occasional lapse in composure was not worthwhile.

But I just couldn't help losing my temper.

Maybe she's homesick.

At this point, ground staff came over with a microphone that had a long phone cord attached and handed it to them. The city had already taken care of all the arrangements, provided the designated route and call sign, and reminded them not to fly to the wrong place.

Wei Dongcai urged them to hurry up and set off.

He even stayed by the cockpit the whole time, urging communication efforts.

Only after confirming that he had connected with the air traffic controller who could communicate in a foreign language did he return to sit down, and he also asked Lao Gao to stay there and be ready to respond at any time.

Steve didn't even hold a meeting with his assistants, observing him the whole time: "Is it dangerous? I heard it's a very closed situation."

Qin Yuye wouldn't take it upon herself to respond; she was busy sorting cosmetics and passing on messages.

Wei Dong interlocked his fingers on his lower abdomen and turned to look at the sea of ​​clouds outside: "This may be the first foreign plane to legally fly over this area in history. Those that have flown over here before all carried bombs to bomb, and many people died. So the danger is the outsiders. It is a very peace-loving place."

Steve saw through it: "You have a lot of affection for your hometown and country. Is that why you treated that person just now?"

Wei Dong thought for a moment and nodded: "She didn't do anything wrong. Everyone hopes to live a better life so as not to waste it. But we shouldn't despise or betray those who are still trying to change things."

Qin Yuye looked up and focused.

This made Wei Dong take foreign businessmen more seriously than ever before: "Maybe you are a businessman who only cares about your own products, only cares about profits, or at a higher level, cares about what you bring to mankind. I am very simple. I strive to make the people I can help live better lives. This is the meaning of proving that my life has not been in vain."

It seemed that Steve had finally touched the heart of a genius.
