224: Chapter 223 The Final Resistance

"Announcement Regarding Adding Chuangshi Machinery Factory and Nine Other Enterprises to the Cooperation Blacklist"

"Approved by the Board of Directors, our company has specifically decided to add Chuangshi Machinery Factory (Co., Ltd.), Linli Machinery Factory, Changbei Machinery Factory, Kebei New Material Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and six other enterprises to our company's cooperation blacklist. Please refer to the attached table for the specific names of the added enterprises."

"After being added to the cooperation blacklist, the aforementioned enterprises will never again serve as our partners for any form of cooperation, including but not limited to custom processing, technical support, material supply, and investment."

"At the same time, the enterprises added to the cooperation blacklist, as well as their heads and relevant responsible personnel, will never be allowed to use any of our company's products or services. Our company will not accept any questions or complaints from the aforementioned personnel regarding our products. Please refer to the attached table for the specific services that cannot be accessed."

"We hereby respectfully remind all our close partners to carefully choose your business partners to reduce risk."

...

The announcement was not long, just a few hundred words, and could be read in a few minutes.

However, what was always livelier than the main text was the comment section below. Not to mention, Wang Shuo had not placed any restrictions on the Frontier Technology Company official website forum, so anyone could speak.

Consequently, the forum exploded.

"This Frontier Technology really has some guts, doesn't it? Have they reached a point where they are fearless? They even dare to blacklist their suppliers?"

"If you don't supply me, I'll blacklist you. I can only say, well done, Frontier Technology!"

"Wuwuwu, what stupid thing did I just do? I was actually worried that Frontier Technology would delay shipments. That was just blind worry; they can't supply at all now, can they?"

"To the tech gurus at Frontier Technology, you guys are so tough, you're making things very difficult for us."

"Alright, don't say anything else, let's disperse, let's disperse. I'm going to get a refund. As expected of a new company, they are just unreliable. They made me happy for nothing."

"I just wanted a zero egg, why is it so hard? I gave my heart, I paid the money, and I waited for the time. Why is there not even any hope left now?!!!"

...

The crowd was indignant.

Among the netizens leaving comments on the Frontier Technology official website forum, some had attended the zero egg launch event. These people had absolutely no doubts about the authenticity of the zero egg and fully supported Frontier Technology.

There was another group—people who, after watching videos online, held eager expectations for the zero egg. The composition of this group was very complex, including college students, successful professionals, employees from other tech companies sniffing around, and even some scientific researchers.

Most of these people had open mindsets, were easily accepting of new things, and their financial situations allowed them to appropriately indulge their hobbies.

But regardless of the reason they followed Frontier Technology or the zero egg, their moods at this moment were equally complex.

It was an emotion that was hard to describe.

Just a moment ago, they were still worried that the announcement from the morning would lead Frontier Technology and the zero egg into an unpredictable predicament. After all, that was a joint boycott statement issued by over a dozen manufacturers. Even the most naive person could clearly understand what was happening.

But the next moment, they realized they had worried for nothing. There was no need for these companies to jointly boycott; with a single announcement, Frontier Technology had swept them all out the door. That wasn't even all; they didn't intend to let them come back, creating a blacklist and banning them from cooperation for life.

Even this wasn't the most offensive part; the most offensive part was the very last sentence.

"We remind all our partners to carefully choose your business partners."

What did that mean?

To put it bluntly, it meant, "Look everyone, these companies have integrity issues, nobody should cooperate with them."

Not to mention how much impact this statement would have given Frontier Technology's current status, the attitude Frontier Technology displayed alone was enough to leave people speechless. This was clearly a rhythm of offending the other side to death.

The problem was: you were tough, you were unyielding. After having your fun, who would do the work? Who would supply the goods?

Could we still get the zero eggs we paid a high price to order?

Should this money be refunded or not?

...

Donghai City, suburbs. Chuangshi Machinery Factory.

Factory Director Gou was sitting in the reception room, eagerly refilling a cup of tea for a young man beside him, laughing and saying: "For this matter to succeed, it really is all thanks to you. Your methods, I admire, I admire."

"Don't be happy too early. Whether this matter can succeed is not yet certain."

young man beside him said indifferently: "Based on my understanding of Wang Shuo, since he dares to explicitly antagonize you, he definitely won't be shooting without a target."

"I understand this, I understand." Factory Director Gou laughed: "This is also their last stand. I doubt he can come up with any tricks. As long as the goods are still in our hands, it's impossible for him to deliver on time."

young man nodded slightly; he was just offering a bit of guidance, and he didn't really care whether it succeeded or not.

"Next, you continue to proceed according to the plan I gave you. If you successfully trigger a run, that will be the real success."

"Understood, understood." Factory Director Gou nodded and bowed in agreement.

Although he didn't know who young man in front of him was, within a short day, he was able to make a post that would have originally been buried at the bottom widely known. This was not something anyone could do.

The power behind this young man could not be underestimated.

If he could easily kill Frontier Technology today, he could just as easily kill him tomorrow.

He might not even figure out how he died.

For this kind of person, it was better to keep a respectful distance.

In comparison, he still preferred simpler people and things; after all, when it came to scheming, there was no room for hiding, and one could see through them at a glance.

This had always been his way of survival.

If it weren't for the fact that Frontier Technology had gone too far this time, he would never have wanted to deal with such people.

As a complete schemer, he only ever hated people who were more sinister than himself.

Although young man in front of him looked very sunny and seemed to be radiating youth, Factory Director Gou still smelled a familiar scent on him.

It was the scent of his own kind.

Factory Director Gou understood that compared to the person in front of him, whether in terms of scale or ability, he was too weak.

"By the way." young man seemed to have suddenly remembered something and said in a commanding tone: "Bring me the products that Frontier Technology customized here; I want to check them personally."

This was naturally not a problem; it was also one of the agreed-upon contents between the two parties.

Factory Director Gou waved for his assistant to go get the items, while he himself eagerly refilled young man's tea.

A few minutes later, the assistant returned with an item.

"This is the part that Frontier Technology customized here." Factory Director Gou introduced it with a smile: "For a thing like this, we even specially improved a production line."

"Oh?" young man showed an interested look.

Factory Director Gou quickly said: "Don't look at this workpiece as very simple; the craftsmanship is very complex. Some of the processes, I haven't even heard of before; they were all guided by people sent by Frontier Technology Company."

"You can't make it?"

"Of course, we can make it." Factory Director Gou seemed to think of something and sighed: "But as you know, for this kind of custom part, just making it isn't enough; it also has to meet the requirements of the customizing party. Frontier Technology has very high requirements for this batch of parts. It's not just the dimensional accuracy, fit, and tolerance of the parts, but even the surface smoothness, finish, anti-oxidation treatment process, and coating process have special requirements. Some of the formulas, I've been doing machining for so long, and I've never even heard of them."

"But you don't say, hey, it really works. The products processed according to their techniques have obvious improvements in all aspects compared to before."

young man nodded slightly, lost in thought.

"Do you have the techniques and formulas they use to process the products?"

"Of course I have them." Factory Director Gou nodded, then rubbed his hands in a dilemma: "But these things, according to the contract, we are required to keep them confidential."

"Heh." young man curled the corners of his mouth.

If he didn't know what kind of character this Factory Director Gou was, he might have really been deceived by this honest appearance.

Contract agreement? That is probably not as important to you as ten yuan on the ground.

young man smiled slightly: "Give the formulas and techniques to us. If there are no issues after verification, I can increase the acquisition price of your factory by another ten percent."
