Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi replied: "I don't know much about you, only what happened since our first cooperation. I know your identity is not simple, but I have never asked or investigated anything. I just know one thing: you are my brother, forever my brother."

"As for the rest," Zhou Qi continued, "if the time is right, you will tell me; if you don't mention it, then you must have your reasons.

If it weren’t for special circumstances, I wouldn’t have mentioned this. Because I have a feeling that once I say it, you might leave.”

Jiang Jun nodded: "I was the one who solved Hu Jizhong's problem."

"I know." Zhou Qi said calmly.

"You know?" Jiang Jun seemed a little surprised.

"I went too far at that time. The hatred has been formed." Zhou Qi looked at Jiang Jun, "You will not tolerate the existence of potential threats. Although Xiao Chao didn't say anything, I can feel your intention from him."

"Xiao Chao is my subordinate." Jiang Jun clarified, "Now he is active as a college student, and few people know him. You can trust him completely."

Zhou Qi raised his hand to stop Jiang Jun from speaking, and said firmly: "I still say that, you are my brother!"

"Don't you want to know who I am?" Jiang Jun asked.

Zhou Qi shook his head gently: "If knowing the truth means you're leaving, then I'd rather never know it."

"I know you'll leave sooner or later." Zhou Qi whispered, "but not today."

After saying that, Zhou Qi stood up.

Zhou Qi walked up to Jiang Jun, stretched out his hand, and said firmly: "Brother, our friendship is lifelong."

Jiang Jun stared at Zhou Qi, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He slowly reached out his hand, tightly held Zhou Qi's hand, and forced a smile on the corner of his mouth: "How disgusting!"

"But I should go now." Jiang Jun's voice was a little low.

Although Zhou Qi tried to persuade Jiang Jun to stay, and even saw reluctance in Jiang Jun's eyes, Jiang Jun finally chose to leave. He left behind his car keys, cell phone, and all his money and belongings, and said:

"I'm not very good at business, and I can't help much if I stay. Instead of doing nothing all day, I might as well walk around and have a look. Maybe one day, I'll come back."

Jiang Jun did not let Zhou Qi see him off, but gave him Xiao Chao's contact information before leaving. Zhou Qi stood by the office window, watching Jiang Jun's figure gradually go away until he completely disappeared from his sight.

For a long time, his eyes remained fixed on the empty distance, his heart filled with a sense of loss. Jiang Jun's departure seemed to have taken away many important things, and their past was still vivid in his mind.

Zhou Qi knew that all this was related to Hu Jizhong's incident, and that Jiang Jun must be carrying a secret that he didn't want him to be involved in.

He knew that he would not get an answer even if he asked, but he firmly believed that he would see Jiang Jun again one day.

Suddenly, the ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. After answering the phone, Du Qianqian said anxiously: "Regarding the equipment modification plan you proposed, the preliminary test is feasible.

However, the cost of the modification almost doubled, and if mass production was to be carried out, the full amount would need to be paid upfront, and there would be no warranty service afterwards.”

Du Qianqian's words were full of dissatisfaction. Such conditions were obviously unreasonable, especially the requirement to pay the full amount in advance. In addition, they were not responsible for assembling the equipment after it arrived, and there was no subsequent maintenance support. If the product did not meet expectations, wouldn't it become a pile of scrap metal?

"Are there any other options?" Zhou Qi asked calmly.

Du Qianqian was stunned by the question: "Don't you think this is outrageous enough?"

"Then, if they are not responsible for assembling the equipment after it is delivered, what do they say about this issue?" Zhou Qi asked.

"They don't intend to take care of this matter at all!" Du Qianqian replied angrily.

Zhou Qi was silent for a while, then slowly said: "We can send people to learn assembly and repair technology, pay for the equipment in full, and pay an additional consulting fee. I think we can try to negotiate with them."

Du Qianqian said angrily: "Isn't this too spineless? They are obviously bullying us, taking advantage of our weakness of not having this technology and putting forward these harsh conditions."

"Do you know how much a piece of equipment costs? In other words, each unit costs two million. If we want to meet the national demand, the entire production line will have to invest more than fifty million." She continued: "This is clearly exploitation, can't you see that?"

Zhou knew that the country had suffered a lot due to the lack of key technologies. But since the technology was in the hands of others, he had to accept some unfavorable conditions if he wanted to develop. However, he had his own plans.

"Have you said how many units you want to order?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Not yet." Du Qianqian replied.

"Then let's order three first. We have no problem paying in full, but we must ask them to train our technicians. This request is reasonable and I believe they will agree."

Zhou Qi suggested: "If the effect is good, we will place an additional order for 20 units, also paying in full."

Du Qianqian was stunned: "Zhou Qi, are you crazy? I won't agree! They are going too far. I would rather not do this business than suffer this kind of anger."

In fact, Du Qianqian is very confident about the facial tissue market and originally wanted to buy more time through this call, hoping to find a solution in China. She firmly believes that there must be someone capable of solving this problem in China.

Zhou Qi smiled slightly: "The efficiency abroad is not that high. It is not realistic to complete all the steps in a short time. They just changed the ** to raise the price."

Du Qianqian suddenly realized: "You mean..."

"That's right." Zhou Qi explained: "We can't get the core technology, but we can learn their shell technology and improve it ourselves. In this way, we don't need to rely on them in the future."

Du Qianqian laughed: "You are so cunning."

"Don't worry, I won't let us suffer any loss." Zhou Qi said confidently: "Although the other party may be on guard, the high price they offered gives us room for negotiation. I am very confident of success."

Du Qianqian blinked on the other end of the phone and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"It's actually very simple." Zhou Qi explained: "They don't take us seriously at all. They think that even if we see their technology, we can't copy it."

This is not groundless, such a thing has indeed happened. Those people simply do not hide their contempt for China. For a rising and developing Chinese country, this attitude is simply a blatant provocation.

But China is a nation that refuses to surrender. Facing such humiliation will only inspire a stronger determination to prove China's strength and speed to the world.
