Zhao Feiyan's status in the company was that of the boss's wife.
Liu Yuqian was now going head-to-head with Zhao Feiyan. This was indeed excessively bold.
However, she dared to do this, so she must have had the confidence to do so.
If Liu Yuqian herself wasn't afraid, why should Hu Changjun be afraid?
If this collaboration was successful, he stood to gain immense profits.
Even if the plan failed, Liu Yuqian would be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.
Of course, the most crucial point was this:
Since Liu Yuqian had already spoken, if Hu Changjun insisted on refusing to do her bidding, it would mean offending her.
Currently, Liu Yuqian wielded immense power within the group.
If he offended Liu Yuqian, Hu Changjun would most likely not be able to continue working in the group.
That day, after receiving the task from Liu Yuqian, Hu Changjun immediately went to scout the location.
Scouting Zhao Dajun was not difficult at all.
Zhao Dajun worked as the security captain at Liu Kai Xuan's house. While the position was that of a security guard,
his actual work was far easier than that of an ordinary security guard.
This guy worked nine to five every day, and during work hours, he simply sat in the office and issued orders.
Hu Changjun easily waited for Zhao Dajun outside the villa gate.
However, after seeing Zhao Dajun, Hu Changjun did not immediately rush forward to intercept him.
The reason was actually not complicated: Zhao Dajun's physique appeared very imposing.
He was tall and burly, with a face full of fat.
Although Hu Changjun was also well-built, he was no match for Zhao Dajun.
Hu Changjun worried that if he acted rashly and couldn't defeat Zhao Dajun after all his efforts, it would be extremely embarrassing.
Therefore, Hu Changjun decided to first investigate Zhao Dajun's situation today.
Tomorrow, he would bring a few more brothers, find a suitable location, and teach Zhao Dajun a harsh lesson.
By then, no matter how strong Zhao Dajun was, he wouldn't be able to defeat a group of them.
…
The next morning, at the group headquarters building.
Ouyang Xue reported some bad news to Liu Kai Xuan: communication with the foreign negotiation team had completely failed.
After mediation, the foreign negotiation team agreed to make some concessions on their three initial negotiation proposals.
However, Liu Kai Xuan had sternly rejected their three additional conditions for this cooperation!
Liu Kai Xuan was only willing to negotiate on equal footing with the other party.
There was a huge divergence in their negotiation principles.
With irreconcilable differences, they could only part ways.
In fact, on this matter, Ouyang Xue harbored some resentment towards Liu Kai Xuan.
The other negotiation team had made some concessions.
Liu Kai Xuan had made no concessions at all, which ultimately led to the complete collapse of the negotiations.
However, Liu Kai Xuan was the boss, and as an employee, Ouyang Xue could not refuse Liu Kai Xuan's orders.
Ouyang Xue was very dejected, while Liu Kai Xuan said enthusiastically,
"Xue'er, I have a new development idea!"
"If we start from scratch with automobiles now, we definitely won't be able to catch up to the established developed countries!"
"They have decades of a head start; it's too difficult for us to catch up!"
"But I believe we can still find a way to overcome our current predicament through 'overtaking on a curve'!"
"Overtaking on a curve?" Ouyang Xue's brow furrowed.
"My chairman, have you been watching too many movies? Why do you always think of impractical things?"
"Overtaking on a curve also requires technological accumulation!"
"We are currently poor and blank; thinking of overtaking decades of accumulated efforts is simply unrealistic!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "In terms of conventional fuel vehicles, it is indeed difficult for us to achieve overtaking on a curve!"
"What I mean by overtaking on a curve is electric vehicles!"
"Electric vehicles…" Ouyang Xue was stunned into silence.
After a long while, she finally reacted.
"Boss, can you be more pragmatic?"
"We can't even build a car frame yet, and you want to get into cutting-edge high technology? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
"Hahaha…"
Liu Kai Xuan said with a hearty laugh, "It's true that our technology is still backward, but we must have aspirations!"
"Alright, alright, you want to be pragmatic, right?"
"Then I'll briefly communicate some of my pragmatic ideas to you now!"
Liu Kai Xuan continued, "In my opinion, the most complex core component of a car is its engine!"
"At the same time, with our current technology, it is very difficult to build a high-quality engine!"
"You're right!"
Ouyang Xue nodded in agreement, "The engine is the heart of a car!"
"The quality of the engine directly determines the quality of a car!"
"So!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "Since we can't build a high-quality engine now, why don't we simply buy finished engines from overseas?"
"We can establish our own automobile factory and then find foreign industrial enterprises to customize matching engines!"
"This way, our own technological bottleneck can be resolved in the short term!"
"As for the subsequent plan for overtaking on a curve, let's wait until our automobile factory is on solid ground before discussing the next steps!"
"Alright…"
Ouyang Xue replied with a smile, "Boss, your plan is simply excellent!"
"No profitable business would reject an order that comes to them!"
"When that time comes, we'll bring cash to place orders, and the bargaining power will be in our hands!"
"However… are you really planning to do this independently?"
Ouyang Xue wholeheartedly agreed with Liu Kai Xuan's idea, but she began to worry when she thought about starting from scratch.
Regarding this, Liu Kai Xuan's attitude was very clear.
"Alright, Xue'er, you don't need to be so anxious!"
"I'm handing over the establishment of the automobile factory to you, but during the process!"
"If you encounter any problems you can't solve, just come to me!"
"How does that sound?"
"I…"
Ouyang Xue's face turned red as she replied, "Boss, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"We are truly poor and blank in this area right now, with no foundation at all!"
"Is it too risky to just rush into opening for business like this?"
"Hey, you can't say that!" Liu Kai Xuan replied righteously.
