After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 318, Episode 0343: Only Profit
Even if it's something everyone knows, if no one says it out loud, it's not true.

The seventh wife of the Zhang family head came from a place that was not very respectable. Although the Zhang family head always had mistresses at home and a red flag on the outside, this seventh wife always had a lot of face in front of him.

Her only daughter, Zhang Min, was shrewd and clever. She not only knew how to please the head of the Zhang family, but also acted in a manner very similar to him, especially in her ruthlessness, which surpassed even her father's.

Zhang Min followed the Zhang family head from a very young age, learning how to manage affairs and handle matters. She did her fair share of unethical things, even arranging for her own father to have a concubine named Xiao Caiqi. The girls who caused the Zhang family head to have a stroke were people that Zhang Min brought in.

The girls were not obtained through legitimate channels; they were not invited or even bought. Some were kidnapped, some were robbed, and some were extorted.

Zhang Min's biggest business was like that of an ancient brothel madam: she would bring in a bunch of beautiful young girls from all over the country, carefully "train" them, and then use them as gifts to pave the way for the Zhang family or as prizes to reward her subordinates.

The head of the Zhang family had some traditional ideas. No matter how many children he had, he still valued the two born to his legal wife the most. Even though he valued Zhang Min, he never surpassed his two legitimate children.

The eldest son, Zhang Xuan, and the eldest daughter, Zhang Xuan, have always been involved only in the Zhang family's business of selling white goods. Zhang Xuan married the eldest son of the Cui family in Hong Kong and is the Cui family's recognized next-generation heir. She is Zhang Xuan's powerful assistant.

In comparison, Zhang Min, who has been involved in the dark side all along, is clearly at a disadvantage.

Lin Yuexi: "So she set her sights on Lao Wang?"

Wait a minute, how did they get involved?
Besides, even if Lao Wang were persuaded, he probably couldn't help her even if he wanted to.

Give money?

That makes some sense, but not much.

Xu Shan hadn't learned much about Lin Yuexi from Hong Kong, but he had roughly told her about the major families. Some of them had been involved in organized crime in the past but had now or were in the process of doing so, while others had always been outwardly innocent. Some specialized in the market, some were involved in the military, and others specialized in politics.

The Cui family of Hong Kong is primarily involved in politics. Cui Yin, whom Jiang Xuan married, is a key figure in the Cui family's political career and has now risen to the position of Governor.

In other words, Jiang Xuan has the governor as his backer, but what does Jiang Min have?

Even if she had money, with a governor over there keeping her in check, who would dare to side with her?

And who would dare to help her?
The old man grimaced and said somewhat unhappily, "After we announced that we had cracked the chip technology, Old M was furious. At first, he said we were just bragging, and then he demanded that we produce physical evidence to prove it. The higher-ups ignored them, and after a while, they started clamoring for technology sharing."

That's a really fast change of topic.

However, Lin Yuexi understood that, given the old man's temperament, he wouldn't bring up two unrelated matters together, so she patiently continued listening.

"Old Feng has finally stood his ground and almost got into a fight with the people Old M came from."

However, while we've vented our anger, we're still far behind M. We can't just let our temper get the better of us and disregard the other party.

Just then, Lin Yuexi developed a mobile phone that used newly developed chip technology. The advanced part of the chip used in the phone was not revealed, but it showed a great leap forward in technology.

From an economic perspective, if this little gadget were mass-produced, anyone with a brain would see that it would be incredibly profitable.

Therefore, the Yuexi Group was established, named after Lin Yuexi.

Judging from Lin Yuexi's haphazard research, which didn't focus on any one area but rather dabbled in various things, the elders could tell that she would likely create many more things similar to mobile phones in the future. What was difficult for other researchers, something some might never achieve even in their entire lives, seemed effortless for that young girl. She seemed to effortlessly create groundbreaking treasures with just a few casual attempts.

“The young girl has no selfish motives and has never asked us for anything. She does what she thinks is right without seeking anything in return. She never mentions it, but we can’t be shameless. We can’t give her the rewards she deserves and we can’t deny her the benefits she’s entitled to with grand principles. That would be heartless and a loss of conscience.”

Therefore, the Yuexi Group was established. In the future, all the research results of Lin Yuexi, as long as they are not used for national defense, will be handed over to the Yuexi Group.

During Lin Yuexi's lifetime, she owned 20% of the shares, while the nation owned 80%. After her death, her descendants owned 5% of the shares, and the rest were used for national development.

After all, everything comes from the government, and Lin Yuexi is just receiving the benefits. If she is given too much, and it keeps going on and on, eventually some people will get upset, and that won't be a good thing.

The first product manufactured by Yuexi Group was a mobile phone.

With the country as their backing, diplomatic staff directly became salespeople, and in just one month, our domestically produced mobile phones were sold to more than 30 countries.

Because of mobile phones, many related projects have also been introduced, such as building signal towers and base stations.

The old man felt incredibly proud whenever he thought about these things. He had to hold his head high and look down on them with his nose in his head, every nose hair practically screaming arrogance.

We've digressed, let's get back to the point.

“We’ve made money, and Old M, who’s been suppressing us, isn’t happy about it. But we now have some self-defense capabilities in terms of force. Although we’re still no match for M if it comes to a fight, M isn’t united, and with their election coming up, they haven’t dared to go all out against us for the time being.”

"They quickly launched their own mobile phones, clearly intending to wage an economic war against us."

When the topic turned to the mobile phones launched by M-Fort, the old man raised his head high once again.

They also brought over a few units to compare with our own. After Mr. Chen and his team disassembled them, they confirmed that they were completely incomparable in terms of chip technology.

but···
That only applies to chips; we are still lagging behind in other areas.

So when combined, the two phones feel about the same size.

After all, M is the world's leading superpower. Given that our technologies are roughly equal, more countries will naturally give M face than we will. Although I feel uncomfortable about this, I understand.

There's no such thing as genuine affection between nations; all that matters is self-interest.

"Fort Company is preparing to establish a branch in Hong Kong. Several prominent business families in Hong Kong want to get their hands on this big pie, including the Zhang family. Zhang Min has already made contact with people from Fort Company. Coincidentally, that person had once stayed in Shanghai, and Wang Decai saved his life."

Lin Yuexi: "Is Zhang Min trying to use her relationship with Lao Wang to secure this big prize and increase her chances of becoming the head of the family?"

The old man nodded with satisfaction. His good grandson was indeed clever; he understood immediately.

"But that's not right, sir. Zhang Min and Lao Wang have no connection. In fact, she stole Lao Wang's daughter's position as his legal wife, so she's an enemy. How could she still dare to contact Lao Wang?"

With an ungrateful son-in-law and a mistress who stole their daughter's position as the legal wife, aren't they afraid that Old Wang, out of love for his daughter, might seek revenge?
