Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Liang Ranran called up the encrypted file, and the holographic projection unfolded a three-dimensional structure diagram on the conference table:

"This is the reverse engineering solution for the German precision bearing. As long as we break through the heat treatment process..."

She ran her finger over the molecular simulation animation: "In three months, we will be able to mass-produce on our own. By then, we will have equity in 30 supporting factories and bargaining power in the industry chain."

Liang Tingshan suddenly pressed his daughter's wrist, and the projection beam cast a flickering shadow on her face.

Veins popped out on the back of the old chairman's hand, and his voice suddenly became hoarse:

"Do you know how much this technology patent is worth? If Zhou Qi can really solve it, why doesn't he build a factory himself? Why does he have to go through so much trouble to help us?"

The dusk outside the window deepened, and Liang Ranran reached out and pressed the light switch.

The moment the warm yellow light came on, her eyes welled up: "Because I said that Sanyi Heavy Industry is the hard work left by my grandfather, and he said, 'National industry should not survive on its knees.'"

Liang Tingshan slammed the teacup down on the mahogany table, and a few drops of tea splashed on the edge of the check: "Zhou family kid, what are you up to?"

Liang Ranran suddenly grabbed Zhou Qi's sleeves, her nails almost digging into the fabric: "I signed those contracts voluntarily, you don't have to..."

She choked with sobs and couldn't continue speaking, her tears rolling down the cuffs of Zhou Qi's dark grey suit, leaving a few dark marks.

Zhou Qi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he turned his head and raised his chin to the housekeeper.

A sandalwood tray holding a gilded fountain pen and snow wave paper was handed to him. The fountain pen made a rustling sound on the paper, and the last signature was so strong that it almost cut through the paper.

The moment the checkbook was torn open, a crisp tearing sound was heard in the air.

"The equity swap agreement from ten years ago has now at least tripled in market value."

Zhou Qi pushed two pieces of thin paper across the table and tapped the check with his bony fingers: "Or cash that will be deposited into your account right now."

Liang Ranran suddenly threw herself at the table, and a few strands of her black hair fell out of her bun.

Zhou Qi grabbed her wrist like lightning, and the jade bracelet hit her watch with a crisp sound: "Ran Ran, do you remember the bet we made?"

His voice suddenly softened: "You said you would accept the loss."

Liang Tingshan's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the check, and the anti-counterfeiting watermark was faintly visible between the lines of his palm.

He suddenly sneered: "Zhou family kid, do you think you can buy out the Liang family's troubles with money? The three technology stocks you shorted on Wall Street last month..."

"Director Liang."

Zhou Qi suddenly interrupted the conversation, picked up the cold teacup and drank it all in one gulp: "Wuyi Mountain mother tree Dahongpao, the first crop before Qingming this year?"

When he put down the teacup, the sound of the bottom of the cup colliding with the rosewood made Liang Ranran tremble all over.

When Zhou Qi picked up his coat and walked towards the entrance, Liang Tingshan suddenly grabbed the statement, crumpled it into a ball and threw it at him.

The paper ball flew past the crystal chandelier and rolled several times on the Persian carpet.

Zhou Qi did not stop at all, but Liang Ranran saw that his left hand behind his back was unconsciously twisting his cufflinks.

Liang Ranran dug her fingertips deeply into Zhou Qi's suit cuffs, her red eyes gleaming with tears: "Zhou Qi, I really..."

Before he could finish his words, a warm palm covered the back of his hand.

Zhou Qi gently wiped the tears from her eyelashes with his knuckles. When he turned around, the airflow created by his dark gray suit swept away his unfinished apology.

The crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor suddenly stopped.

"Don't go!" Liang Ranran rushed forward to block his way and grabbed the gold-stamped check on the sandalwood coffee table.

Her trembling fingertips pressed against her father's chest: "Dad, let me prove it to you."

With a crisp sound like tearing cloth, the billion-dollar bills turned into fluttering snowflakes in her palm.

Liang Tingshan supported his daughter's shaky shoulders and glanced at Zhou Qi across the debris on the ground: "Mr. Zhou, please take a seat."

When he raised his hand to gesture to the tea table, the cold light reflected from the dial of his watch swept across Zhou Qi's indifferent brows.

Liang Ranran almost pushed him into the sofa. Amid the clinking sound of teacups, Zhou Qi pulled out a document and pushed it to the center of the coffee table.

Liang Tingshan quickly glanced over the terms and suddenly tore the entire stack of pages in half: "Mr. Zhou, don't you think it's too frivolous to exchange this kind of agreement for core technology?"

"If Director Liang had believed my warning, why would it have come to this?"

Zhou Qi stroked the green glaze of the Ru kiln cup rim and said, "The twenty-year friendship between your daughter and Jiaxin has become a bargaining chip on your negotiation table."

He suddenly leaned forward and said, "Why don't we do the math? The current value of your company's shares, the amount of compensation for breach of contract, plus the valuation after the future technological monopoly..."

Liang Tingshan swallowed his rebuttal with his Adam's apple rolling. The dusk from outside the floor-to-ceiling window streamed in, casting a heavy shadow on his brow.

Amid the aroma of tea, the stream of water poured by Yu Liguo drew a subtle arc in the air, just like the trajectory of this game that has not yet been settled.

“How much do you think is appropriate?”

Zhou Qi tapped the table lightly: "Even if we sell both Shanyi Heavy Industries together, it wouldn't be enough."

The air conditioner in the office made a slight hum, and beads of sweat appeared on the back of Liang Tingshan's neck.

Zhou Qi picked up the celadon teacup, looked at the floating tea leaves and continued:

"The ups and downs of the business world are inevitable, but there are also human ties behind the calculations. Uncle Li is the middleman, so I am naturally willing to hand Director Liang a lifeline."

"It is a businessman's duty to be cautious, but if you hold up a shield to block the God of Wealth..."

Zhou Qi deliberately dragged out the last word, drawing circles on the sandalwood table with his fingertips: "Just like now, I have the core technology in my hands, why don't I start a new business?"

Liang Tingshan's Adam's apple rolled as he was about to speak, Zhou Qi held up three fingers and said, "First, reopening will at least take away 30% of your market share;

Second, Uncle Li and you have a good relationship; third..."

He suddenly stopped laughing and said, "If I had this much time, wouldn't I be able to make more money by investing in emerging fields?"

Bang! Liang Tingshan accidentally knocked over the ashtray.

This tough guy who had emerged from the snowfields of Northeast China now slumped back in his chair as if his spine had been pulled out.

After twenty years of ups and downs in the business world, has he ever bowed his head to anyone?

Back then, they would rather give up local preferential policies and move to the capital just to save face.

"Mr. Zhou!"

Liang Tingshan's throat choked with sobs, and he suddenly bowed 90 degrees so deeply that the green ivy by the window was shaking: "Please help Shan Yi Heavy Industry!"

The back of his suit was deeply wrinkled.

Zhou Qi stepped forward quickly to support him: "No! Uncle Li is introducing a family member."

As he was speaking, the Financial Director Yu Liguo was standing at the door holding a tea tray.

The two people who were at loggerheads ten minutes ago were now chatting happily.

After sitting down again, Liang Tingshan's hands were shaking as he held the warm purple clay teapot: "What else do you need for the technical team and equipment configuration? I'll prepare it right away!"

"The hardware is up to standard, but we are missing a key person."

Zhou Qi pulled out a file from his briefcase: "Your company's top engineer was just poached by a competitor last week, right?"

Yu Liguo stood beside the conference table, his tone somewhat proud: "Our technical team is the best in the industry, and we also have several senior engineers specially hired from overseas. Mr. Zhou, please feel free to propose a plan."

This clearly means - don't be mysterious, just reveal your tricks.
