291: Chapter 290 Lie down and accept your death, don't resist.

"30 billion."

General Manager Yu Tongguang's smile remained calm, as if he were merely talking about a very ordinary, trivial matter.

But for Wang Shuo, this was truly unexpected.

He never expected that Huaneng Group would play such a big game, throwing out 30 billion right from the start!

That was 30 billion! Not 300 yuan.

No matter where this 30 billion was placed, it was an astronomical sum of money.

If you took it out for investment, the top leaders of many provinces would treat you as an honored guest.

No one could refuse the temptation of 30 billion.

Including Wang Shuo, as of now.

Perhaps in the future, he would also appear indifferent toward 30 billion, but that was definitely not the case right now.

More importantly, Huaneng Group hadn't even verified whether he possessed the capability to manufacture the Chip; they just threw out 30 billion directly. This was practically a massive gamble.

Not to mention Wang Shuo, even He Chenguang, who was standing to the side, was left a bit stunned by General Manager Yu Tongguang's extravagant way of throwing money around, and for a moment, he didn't know what expression to show.

"General Manager Yu."

He Chenguang confirmed, "Are you serious?"

"Of course."

General Manager Yu Tongguang nodded gently and explained, "This is just the initial funding. Once the preliminary construction is completed, subsequent funds will be allocated."

There's subsequent funding too?

Wang Shuo's eyes lit up.

Earn it! He had to get this money into his own pocket.

What?

No way?

If there's no way, then find a way to earn it.

With this money, why was he still getting a headache? Wouldn't it be great to just throw money at the problems?

No money for researching new projects? Throw money at it!

No money to establish a Security Company? Throw money at it!

No money for a new medical device factory? Throw money at it!

Throw money to create a bright world, throw money to create a magnificent future.

Don't ask, because having money means being willful.

Wang Shuo's thoughts raced, already beginning to conceive how to reasonably get this money into his own pocket.

"General Manager Wang, although this is the initial funding, the total amount is quite large after all. I still hope we can set up a financial supervision team to jointly manage these funds and ensure the project proceeds normally."

"Of course."

Wang Shuo nodded, asking with a hint of anticipation, "General Manager Yu, when can the funds be in place?"

General Manager Yu Tongguang smiled.

"At any time."

One hour later, Wang Shuo and General Manager Yu Tongguang walked out of the gates of Frontier Technology together.

"General Manager Wang, that's far enough."

General Manager Yu Tongguang turned around, looked at Wang Shuo, who was standing to the side, and said, "If I didn't really have urgent matters requiring me to rush back to Pengcheng, I would really like to stay here with you for a few more days."

"You are welcome anytime, General Manager Yu."

Wang Shuo also smiled very sincerely. This was a major financial backer; he had to be sincere.

"When the first Super Chip is born, I will definitely be there."

General Manager Yu Tongguang's eyes flickered slightly: "I hope General Manager Wang won't make me wait too long."

"Certainly." Wang Shuo nodded.

Nodding slightly, General Manager Yu Tongguang turned his gaze toward He Chenguang, who was standing on the side, paused for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze.

"No need to see me off further." After saying this, he took a few young people and walked out of the Software Park.

Watching General Manager Yu Tongguang and the others walk away until they disappeared around the corner at the end of the road, Wang Shuo and He Chenguang returned to the small building.

"Zero." Just as he entered the third-floor office, Wang Shuo spoke directly.

"Send a message to Principal Ding and tell him that the Chip factory can begin construction."

"As for the person in charge of the factory..." Wang Shuo glanced at He Chenguang, who was standing to the side looking a bit bewildered. "I already have someone."

Taiwan Island, Wanji Semiconductor Company.

News of Liu Yemei's departure was quickly relayed by staff to an office on a high floor.

Wei Wenyun sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the tablet in his hand. Upon hearing the news, he responded indifferently, "Understood."

From beginning to end, he had been sitting in this office and hadn't gone anywhere.

The so-called busy schedule was just a random excuse.

Listening to the assistant's report, Director Zeng Weiguo, who was sitting to the side, frowned and said, "General Manager Wei, what does this Frontier Technology mean? The 500 million contract penalty—they just say they won't talk about it anymore?"

"Heh." Wei Wenyun chuckled softly, "I said long ago that as long as they still have a demand for the Chip, they won't go head-to-head with us."

He placed the tablet gently on the table and said indifferently, "That's fine too; at least they have some self-awareness."

Director Zeng Weiguo nodded slightly. A small company is a small company after all; the letters they sent were strongly worded, but when it actually came down to real business, they slipped away faster than anyone else.

"Ahem." The male assistant standing to the side cleared his throat.

"General Manager Wei, Director Zeng." The male assistant hesitated slightly, "The original words of the person who came from the other side were—if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. The attitude was very firm; it seems... it doesn't quite look like..."

It didn't look like they were backing down.

Wei Wenyun understood his meaning, but didn't care.

As for backing down, there's no need to listen to what they say; just watch what they do.

He turned his head and said to Director Zeng Weiguo, "The losses in the China region will be covered by someone; you don't need to worry about this anymore."

Director Zeng Weiguo was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Who?"

To cover their losses, it wasn't something that could be done with just simple funds; it also required the ability to persuade the Board of Directors.

Suddenly, he thought of something. "Could it be... is it..."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about." Wei Wenyun interrupted him and said indifferently, "You just need to know that this penalty fee will also be paid by them."

Speaking of this, he smiled faintly, "However, who stipulated that we must return the penalty fee?"

"Not only the penalty fee, but the principal will also not be returned to the other party for the time being, to avoid unnecessary complications."

Director Zeng Weiguo showed a look of surprise. "Does the Board of Directors mean..."

"Drag it out." Wei Wenyun said calmly, as if this were just a trivial matter, "After a month or two, it's not even certain whether this company will still be able to afford a lawyer."

Without a lawyer, winning a lawsuit on Taiwan Island is almost impossible.

As for Chinese law, that doesn't apply to Taiwan Island for the time being.

Moreover, as one of the world's leading large-scale semiconductor foundries, Wanji Semiconductor has a significant amount of business in China. If they really get pushed too far, they can just pull a "fire from the sky" move—destroying inventory and raising Chip prices.

It doesn't even need to be a big increase; raising the price of one Chip by 100 yuan is enough to make 90% of companies beg for mercy on their knees.

"What if the other side is a hothead and insists on suing?" Director Zeng Weiguo was still a bit uneasy.

"Sue?" Wei Wenyun glanced at him indifferently. "Let them sue if they want. As long as we hold out for two months, they will be grasshoppers after autumn; when the time comes, won't it be up to us to decide how much to give?"

"Besides, lawsuits don't necessarily have to be a fight to the death. As long as the time comes, we can fully continue to fulfill the contract and hand over the Chips to them. As long as the amount is sufficient, what can they say?"

Director Zeng Weiguo was speechless. When it comes to being cunning, those involved in association work are more adept; they can come up with such disgusting strategies.

Fighting a lawsuit halfway, and then delivering the goods only after the other company can no longer hold on?

This move really opened his eyes.

Anyway, the Chips were already produced and piling up in the warehouse.

Doing this not only cleared the inventory but also fulfilled the contract without violating the Board of Directors' resolution.

More importantly, by that time, this company would have already been picked clean by the puppet masters behind the scenes, so even if they got the Chips, it would be useless.

Dirty, truly dirty.

Director Zeng Weiguo believed that this wasn't even the most malicious tactic these people could come up with.

"I hope the boss of this company can be a bit smarter, obediently wait for the outcome, and not make any futile moves; otherwise..."

A glimmer flashed in Wei Wenyun's eyes. "I wouldn't mind adding a little more fire to this pot of oil."
