Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

One week later, in Shen Lan's office at Xingxin Technology.

Shen Lan's gaze fell on the impressive financial report from last month, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

The data is clear, the categories are well-defined, and the key indicators are readily apparent. This is all thanks to Secretary Sun, who is always so meticulous and reliable in her work, managing to organize such complex accounts so clearly.

If it were those blockheads in the finance department, they would just hand in the original reports and be done with it, but I would have to compare them one by one.

Shen Lan carefully examined the specific figures on the report, her smile growing wider. Before and after the New Year, the stock price had surged three times due to breakthroughs in blueprints, equipment, and technology, a sight that filled one with indescribable satisfaction.

Shen Lan was right to partner with Ding Meiyu to enter the chip industry, and of course, she also owes a lot to Ding Meiyu's strong customer relationships, which she admires.

Although both companies invested the same amount, the equity was allocated as follows: Ding Meiyu 51% and Shen Lan 49%. The reason was simple: Ding Meiyu owned the clients, a position Shen Lan couldn't compete with. However, the important finance department fell under Shen Lan's management, which could be seen as a balance within the cooperative enterprise.

The chip industry is an emerging sector, and both companies have staked half of their assets on it. But that 50% will soon no longer be just a number on paper, but a real mountain of gold and silver. Thinking of this, Shen Lan almost laughed out loud.

At this moment, Sun Lifeng knocked on the door, poked his head in, and said, "President Shen, President Ding is waiting for you in the small conference room."

"Here it is." Shen Lan picked up the report, got up and walked towards the small conference room.

Upon entering the small conference room, Shen Lan saw Ding Meiyu sitting in her seat looking at her phone.

She turned around, closed and locked the door, and drew the blinds facing the corridor.

She walked over to Ding Meiyu, placed the financial statements in front of her, and said with a smug look, "Look, they're beautiful."

Ding Meiyu took it and glanced at it a few times. Although the corners of her lips curled up, her expression was not surprised.

Shen Lan sat down next to Ding Meiyu, leaned close to her, and whispered, "The situation is getting increasingly tense. Foreign export bans could come at any time. I called you here today so we could review our response strategy and see if there are any oversights."

Ding Meiyu put down the financial statements and whispered, "Let's do it according to the plan. Let's make money while we can. Mr. Smith said he would notify me as soon as he gets information about the ban. I'll make a fake contract and say we got a big order. We'll push the stock price up a bit more and then cash out and leave."

Shen Lan nodded and smiled, "Yes, once the ban is in effect, the stock price will definitely plummet, but by then, our money will already be sitting idle in our offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands."

Ding Meiyu lowered her head slightly: "We should still keep a small portion of the chip manufacturing, maybe 5%, otherwise it will be too obvious. We can also keep the chip manufacturing and continue making low-end products."

"Agreed, although low-end products earn less, it's better than nothing."

Shen Lan then ran her hand through her short, neat hair a few times and said with a touch of emotion, "The people who bought our stocks are really in trouble. They're going to lose everything."

Ding Meiyu clicked her tongue, as if she had heard a joke, and said, "When did you become so compassionate? The capital market is just that cruel. You have to accept the consequences of your bets. We can't control everything else."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lan realized she had been a bit too sentimental and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "Indeed, you're right, I was confused."

She suddenly remembered another question: "If this ban is implemented, won't all these blueprints and equipment have to be returned?"

Ding Meiyu looked at Shen Lan with a hint of surprise: "Of course, we do whatever the client tells us to do, even return the blueprints and equipment. As long as we maintain a good relationship with the client, they can give us other business, and we can still make money, right? You can't afford to offend your clients in business."

Shen Lan wholeheartedly agreed: "Customer maintenance depends entirely on you. With your abilities, our business will be no problem at all. Moreover, if a customer brings in new business, we can reinvest the money in our offshore account under the guise of 'foreign capital' and still enjoy national preferential policies."

Ding Meiyu patted Shen Lan's hand and smiled knowingly: "That's right, making money by going around in circles."

......

the other side.

Jiang Yin stood in the factory area of ​​Bihai Assembly Plant, the wind carrying the smell of rust and machine oil. Her gaze swept over the slightly mottled but imposing factory buildings, and only one thought remained in her mind: This factory must be acquired no matter what, even if it means selling everything she owns, it's too good to pass up.

The predecessor of Bihai UAV assembly plant was a military electronics factory. Later, it was converted from military to civilian use, and then it was bought out by the original factory director and transformed into a UAV factory to keep up with the trend.

The factory area was vast, and its exterior was somewhat dilapidated. But in Jiang Yin's eyes, these old factory buildings shone with a golden luster, possessing a quality that only experts could understand and that was priceless. Just look at the load-bearing beams of the large machining workshop, and the ceiling height and embedded parts of the structural workshop—it was built entirely to aerospace manufacturing standards. Not to mention the master craftsmen scattered throughout, each a living treasure trove of expertise in precision assembly and avionics.

After the acquisition, a series of automation and digital transformations will be carried out, and robotic arms and AGVs will be introduced. A dilapidated drone factory will be transformed into an industrial giant, capable of perfectly undertaking the production of a full range of drones, including large industrial-grade drones.

Satisfied as they were, Tang Ning and Jiang Yin didn't rashly bring up the acquisition. Instead, they told General Manager Fu that they would place an order for cooperation to understand the actual operation and internal details of the factory.

"I feel that General Manager Fu is a very down-to-earth person. He comes from a technical background and his mind is all on the factory. That General Manager Zhao..." Jiang Yin paused, "...is too shrewd. Every word he says is about calculating."

Jiang Yin sat in the passenger seat, her mind still preoccupied with the matter of Bihai.

Tang Ning, who was driving, glanced at her and turned on the turn signal: "Your shrewdness is written all over your face. If you really want to make an acquisition, the contract terms must be watertight, and you should speak with the law."

"What a pity," Jiang Yin said, gazing at the gray factory walls rushing past the window. "This factory actually has a pretty good foundation, but General Manager Zhao only focuses on short-term profits and is unwilling to invest in research and development. Without research and development, there are no core technologies, so we can only do contract manufacturing for others, resulting in lower profits and a vicious cycle."

Tang Ning swerved to the right and turned onto the road back to the science park: "I think President Fu still really wants the factory to do well. There are so many employees in the factory, and he still wants to find a way for them to make a living."

"It's no use thinking about it. He's in charge of production and technology. It was originally a technology-based investment, but he couldn't say it counted. He can only worry helplessly." Jiang Yin said with great regret when talking about President Fu.

Tang Ning suddenly remembered something: "Have you estimated how much it would cost to acquire this factory?"

Jiang Yin pondered for a moment: "We'll get a billion; the renovation will probably cost about the same."

Tang Ning chuckled: "We only have about 800 to 900 million yuan available in our accounts right now. With business expanding and R&D burning through cash, we can't just drain it all at once."

Jiang Yin fell silent: That's right. Although the company has a lot of business and a good future, accumulating wealth takes time and can't be done overnight. It's really difficult to come up with this much money right now. But we don't want to outsource the high-tech research and development. It's a real dilemma.

Tang Ning glanced at Jiang Yin, who was deep in thought: "Don't think too much about it now. Let's see how this deal with Bihai goes first."

When they arrived at the science park, it was exactly 12:30 pm. The two of them rushed to the cafeteria to grab some crayfish.

Indeed, Jiang Yin had just bid a sorrowful farewell to Xia Yi Jianghu a few days ago, only to meet him again at the Science and Technology Park cafeteria.

A few days ago, the food court introduced a new dish – spicy crayfish, which was delivered by Xia Yi Jiang Hu's delivery truck.

As a result, the food court cafeteria became incredibly popular. Employees from various companies who usually ate in their own cafeterias flocked to the food court, making it extremely crowded.

The tech company is mostly run by young people, and everyone praised the management committee for doing practical things and considering the tastes of young people. Moreover, the shrimp delivered were shelled and cleaned lobster meat, so there was no need to peel them by hand. Although the price was a bit higher, the average salary in the tech industry is high, so this price difference is negligible.

The number of crayfish is limited. Two batches will be released at 11:30 and 12:30, first come, first served.

Tang Ning and Jiang Yin rushed as fast as they could but couldn't get any. Just as Jiang Yin was feeling disappointed, a familiar cafeteria lady magically produced a box for her from the bottom cabinet, making Jiang Yin's face instantly light up with a smile.

The two sat facing each other and ate.

Tang Ning said, "Director Long is really good. He has a very flexible management approach. This kind of person is destined for a high position."

"That's right. They learned that we were fighting and that these crayfish were delicious, so they brought them here." Jiang Yin also praised Director Long highly.

Tang Ning picked up a piece of lobster meat with her chopsticks and looked at it: "Do you think we can ask Xia Yi Jianghu for a 'GG fee'?"

"You want to make this money too?" Jiang Yin paused in her eating, accidentally knocking her spoon to the ground, and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you obsessed with money?"

Tang Ning laughed heartily: "I haven't even been out, okay?"

Jiang Yin was convinced and bent down to pick up the spoon.

At this moment, Li Tianmu walked into the cafeteria with unnatural steps. He saw Tang Ning eating alone, moved over in a few steps, plopped down next to Tang Ning, put his arm around Tang Ning's shoulder and said, "Do you know? Something terrible has happened."
