On the matters of your esteemed posterior and fencing.
These two "foreign devils," one genuine and one not, did not dwell on the issue for long.
“Mr. Bob, what are your plans now?”
Dong Jian, having eaten and drunk his fill, felt his surging hatred boil within him.
This damnable Meng Hao.
To treat him like this.
Although he couldn’t understand why the “big bosses” from both the black and white sides of Shilin, who usually called him brother, were suddenly avoiding him.
Still, Dong Jian believed that crushing a young whippersnapper like Meng Hao would be as easy as flipping his hand.
After all.
He had, back then, relied on schemes and tricks to take over the restructured factory, swallow state assets, and then gradually resold them at low prices until he founded the private enterprise he now fully controlled.
Perhaps, he, Dong Jian, lacked the ability to do things perfectly!
But when it came to secretly plotting, causing trouble, scheming, and sabotaging good deeds, few people in the entire Shilin could surpass him, Dong Jian.
Indeed.
This kind of person.
Was what the legends called, "Incapable of achieving anything, but adept at ruining everything!"
“What to do?”
“What can I do!”
“I can only return to the US.”
“Alas, with this mission failing so miserably, I’ll likely lose my deputy minister position.”
The dejected white devil Bob, no longer possessed any of the arrogant and overbearing demeanor he had in Meng Hao’s conference room!
He was like a white pig that had been scalded by boiling water but hadn't shed its bristles!
Dong Jian had long expected this white devil to retreat.
He quickly sidled up to the white man.
“My dear Mr. Bob.”
“In fact, things aren't as bad as you think!”
“If we can bring down Meng Hao’s Huarong Industries and make him unwelcome in Da Xia, then acquiring his company won't be a piece of cake?!”
Oh?
Bob’s eyes lit up.
This seemed like a viable path.
But what was the specific implementation process?
One couldn’t just curse Meng Hao into bankruptcy with empty words, right?
Dong Jian picked up the tablet beside him.
“Look at this Meng Hao, he doesn’t even know how to do business…”
“He refused your 50 billion US dollar investment before, and now he’s blocking tens of thousands of consumers…”
“This kind of unpromising business model will eventually lead to his bankruptcy…”
Hmm?
Bob glanced at the tablet.
Dong Jian’s search history was filled with countless consumers angrily denouncing Huarong Industries.
These furious, high-net-worth individuals.
Were venting their anger online because Meng Hao had only released over three hundred power mechs for sale.
Bob was confused.
Such high popularity could only prove that the mechs produced by Meng Hao’s Huarong Industries were in short supply.
With a visible demand of hundreds of thousands of units, and Meng Hao only releasing over three hundred… and these were pre-orders!
Doesn’t this prove that Meng Hao is striving for perfection and has immeasurable prospects?
Seeing Bob’s blank expression.
Dong Jian put on a show of exasperation, as if he was angry that someone so rich couldn't make money.
“The Huarong Industries founded by Meng Hao produces ‘power mechs’.”
“Indeed, the power mechs produced by their company are extremely outstanding, and they have even caused a frenzy among military enthusiasts and mech fans within our Da Xia domestic market!”
“However, their production capacity is simply too low. They relentlessly pursue quality while neglecting sales!”
Dong Jian, with a sly grin, began to "persuade" Bob.
The white foreign devil Bob seemed to grasp the meaning of his words.
“Meng Hao is riding the wave of popularity with the praise of the ‘Strongest Mechs on Earth’ from the Major General of the Russian military procurement…”
“As far as I know, your General Dynamics is also a world-renowned military equipment enterprise…”
“If we can get authorization from General Dynamics, and combine it with my marketing, we can also develop a power mech and make a fortune…”
Bob’s brow furrowed.
“Dear Dong!”
“What does your making a fortune have to do with suppressing Meng Hao and driving Huarong Industries into bankruptcy?”
“I seem to only see that you can make a lot of money by borrowing the name and authorization of our General Dynamics!”
“And I get nothing!”
Dong Jian was getting anxious.
Why was this foreign devil so single-minded?
Couldn’t he think flexibly and extrapolate?
There was no other way.
He had to spell it out directly!
“As long as your General Dynamics authorizes and provides some technical support, my factory can start producing products that are very similar to the mechs produced by Huarong Industries… Even if the performance is completely inferior to Huarong Industries’ mechs, we can hire the best modeling designers to make the mechs look incredibly cool and stylish, directly crushing the mechs produced by Huarong Industries!”
“With that hundreds of thousands of market demand, even if we only capture a tenth of it, that’s over 50,000 units as a starting point, with total sales revenue of over 50 billion Da Xia currency. After deducting costs, we can get at least 20 billion or more…”
“Once we start this, other similar manufacturers will definitely follow our lead. By the time the market demand is completely saturated, Meng Hao’s Huarong Industries will only have completed its production lines, factories, workers, and upstream and downstream supply chains…”
“I’m in manufacturing, I know that completing all these modules will take at least 1 billion and half a year…”
“By the time Meng Hao sinks 1 billion into it, only to find that the market demand is gone, flooded with our inferior mechs, oh well, he’s finished and can go bankrupt…”
“At that time, you can take advantage of the situation, and acquiring Meng Hao and Huarong Industries will be as easy as pie…”
Bob was stunned after hearing Dong Jian’s entire plan.
“Oh my God.”
“Isn’t this just the inferior driving out the superior!”
“What about those consumers then?”
Dong Jian shrugged.
With an indifferent expression.
“What do those foolish, money-spending leeks have to do with us?”
“We’ll have made the money anyway, and other competitors will surely rush in to share the spoils… The law doesn’t punish the masses!”
“Besides, the concept of civilian mechs was first proposed by Meng Hao and his Huarong Industries. When the reputation is ruined, it will be Meng Hao and his near-bankrupt Huarong Industries… We make the money, Meng Hao takes the blame!”
Bob raised an eyebrow.
He seemed tempted.
However, he despised Dong Jian from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of behavior, of betraying his own countrymen, excessively exploiting leeks, and slandering a conscientious national enterprise, was despicable in any country.
It was no wonder Da Xia had always suffered losses in past wars.
With a large number of traitors like Dong Jian, who betrayed their country and countrymen,
How could Da Xia not take so many detours!
However.
Then again.
He, Bob, was an American.
The US had been poaching talent from Da Xia and suppressing Da Xia for years; this was nothing new.
If he could use Dong Jian’s hand to bring down Huarong Industries and tarnish Meng Hao’s reputation, wouldn’t that be more conducive to him, Bob, completing the company’s mission of poaching Meng Hao?
