Chapter 402: Shameless
Time flies, and soon it was 1992. Suning suddenly found that it was now even stronger. A large number of factories had been built in the mid-1980s.

By the 1990s, it had already undertaken the manufacturing of most goods from all over the world, and its products became the world's best-selling products due to their high quality and low price.

In the field of civilian technology, the Xia Ning computers and Xia Ning mobile phones launched by Xia Ning Group were able to compete with IBM and Motorola of the same period. It was also the first to launch the Chinese version of the BB machine, making Xia Ning Technology a giant in the world of technology.

This is intolerable in the eyes of European and American capital. They want to strangle Xia Ning Technology in the cradle, but every time they work hard to develop products and technologies, they are always one step ahead of Xia Ning Technology, which makes them feel like they are stuck in a quagmire.

"Hello, Mr. Su! I'm Hiroji Inoue, president of Toshiba."

"Hello, Mr. Inoue! Nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Su, we have come to visit you in this presumptuous way because we want your company to open up the Xia Ning patents for computers and mobile phones." Inoue Hiroer shamelessly stated their request, which was consistent with their usual behavior.

"can!"

"Ah?" At this time, the shameless Inoue Hiroji was also confused. He had anticipated many possibilities, but the only thing he did not expect was that Suning would agree directly.

"In exchange, Toshiba must open up basic patented technologies such as semiconductors and lithography machines to Xia Ning." Looking at the confused Inoue Hiroji, Suning directly stated his demands.

"What? That's impossible!" Inoue Hiro refused bluntly. "How can Xia Ning's patent compare with Toshiba's numerous basic patents?"

"Haha, that's all I can do. I hope Mr. Inoue and Toshiba won't bring up the patent issue again."

"This..." Inoue Haoer finally understood Su Ning's real purpose. It turned out to be to shut him up. "Since Mr. Su doesn't want to talk about patents, then can Toshiba invest in Xia Ning Technology?"

"Haha, our Xia Ning Group is not short of funds. After all, we have the more powerful Su Investment Company behind us. We can only let Mr. Inoue and Toshiba down."

"."

Toshiba's Hiroji Inoue left disappointed. Suning's easygoing approach made him feel more uncomfortable than a direct rejection. It was impossible to ask Toshiba to open up its basic patents, so he could only miss the possibility of cooperation.

Suning knows that today's Toshiba is just a vanguard. Western capital wants to obtain its own patented technology and control Xia Ning Technology. Then, just like dealing with other domestic brands, it will directly shelve the controlled domestic brands and wait for their own brands to occupy the Chinese market crazily.

By the time the Chinese people realized what was happening, it was already too late to change the situation. They could only watch their lives being controlled by Western capital, so Suning would never allow itself to endure the humiliation of the original time and space again.

Suning knew that Guan Xiaoguan's parents were having a hard time in the United States, but with the 200 million US dollars that Grandpa Guan transferred from the antiques, Guan's father and mother started to make a lot of trouble in the United States.

It’s a pity that although Guan’s father and mother are very good at running a restaurant, they have limited ability in doing other businesses and soon wasted a lot of money.

By the time they realized what was happening, the $200 million they had in their hands had been almost squandered. Looking at his pitiful father-in-law and mother-in-law, Suning felt quite helpless. They were really talented people!
Worried that Mr. Guan would be upset because of this matter, Suning asked everyone to keep it secret from Mr. Guan, and then began to think about how to arrange the affairs of Guan's father and mother.

"Hey! You two, Yuebin Catering is planning to enter the European and American markets. You two are more familiar with the situation in the United States, so I want you to be in charge of Yuebin Catering's American market."

"Ah? That's great!" Guan's parents were both excited, and then Guan's mother immediately asked about the shares. "Chunming, how many shares are you going to give us?"

"Haha, you two each own 5% of the shares of American Yuebin Catering."

"Ah? This is only 10% of the shares, isn't it too little?" Guan's mother was actually a little dissatisfied.

Because of Guan Xiaoguan and the child, Suning had to be patient with Guan's father and mother, so he always tolerated them, otherwise Suning would really have to get up and leave because they were too greedy.

"Hey! Yuebin Catering is very active in the United States. There are one or two branches in every Chinatown, so ten percent of the shares is a lot."

"Huh? Okay!" After hearing Suning's explanation, Guan's parents reluctantly nodded in agreement. In fact, they were already very happy. "Ten percent is ten percent."

Over the years, they have also noticed the relationship between Guan Xiaoguan and Suning, especially after Suning and Guan Xiaoguan had a child, the shrewd Guan's father and mother quickly confirmed the secret relationship between Suning and Guan Xiaoguan.

Although they were extremely unhappy about it, they had no choice but to compromise under Guan Xiaoguan's insistence, and let Guan Xiaoguan do whatever he wanted.

"Suning, the mainland market has been getting better and better recently!" Stephen Zhou looked at Suning with a smile on his face.

"Yes! Father-in-law, do you have any investment plans in the mainland?"

"Suning, I want to invest in Xia Ning Group. Can you discuss this with the investment company behind you?"

In fact, Suning told Ayu about the investment company a long time ago. Ayu also knew that she and her children had shares in Su's Investment Company, but she did not tell anyone else, not even her father Mr. Zhou, so Mr. Zhou still believes that Su's Investment Company exists.

"Father-in-law, Su Investment Company has too many shareholders and is involved in many matters." Su Ning explained with a smile, and then suddenly suggested, "Why don't we work together and start a new business? It will be more convenient."

"Oh? Suning, what's your idea?"

"Father-in-law, I've noticed that the hotel business in mainland China is developing very quickly, and I'm thinking of establishing a national star-rated hotel chain."

"Oh?" Mr. Zhou was a little excited.

"Father-in-law, here's my idea: Xia Ning Group and your company could jointly establish a new company. Then, by acquiring a foreign hotel brand, we could enter the mainland market." Seeing Mr. Zhou's interest, Suning smiled and continued to explain, "Of course, if your father-in-law agrees, I'll let Ah Yu be in charge of the hotel chain business."

"Yeah, sure! I agree."

"Haha, that's good!" Seeing that his father-in-law Stephen Zhou agreed, Su Ning smiled and talked about Ayu. "Ayu was complaining to me a few days ago that it was too tiring to take care of the children at home every day. It's a good opportunity to add more burden to her."

"Well, seeing that you and A Yu can support each other, I, an old man, am also very happy." Stephen Zhou is also very satisfied with his son-in-law.

Recently, there was news that a class reunion was going to be held again. Originally, Suning did not want to attend, but Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, who had already set up their own business, strongly invited him, so Suning had to agree reluctantly.

In 1989, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu both left the Xia Ning Group, and then, with the support of the Xia Ning Group, entered the real estate, computer and mobile phone businesses, which further optimized the business territory of the Xia Ning Group. After all, it is very dangerous to dominate one side, and only when a hundred flowers bloom can everyone sit down and "make money" with peace of mind.

"Ayu, there is a class reunion the day after tomorrow, and I plan to take you with me." "Class reunion?" Ayu looked confused.

"Yes! It's a reunion of our junior high school classmates. The last time we held it was in 1977." Suning explained to Ayu with a smile.

"Okay! I want to go and see it too." Ayu agreed with her eyes lighting up.

On the day of the class reunion, almost all the classmates were present. Su Meng also came with her newlywed husband. It seemed that Cheng Jianjun had strongly invited the couple to come.

Su Meng has an outgoing personality and has no idea what it means to avoid suspicion. Although she was not in this class, she still attended the class reunion without any concern.

When Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu saw these former classmates and thought of their current successful careers, they suddenly felt a sense of lofty ambition. Some classmates who wanted to flatter Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu suddenly suggested that everyone introduce their own careers.

In fact, it was just a chance for everyone to brag. Just as Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu were preparing to introduce themselves, they suddenly saw Suning and Aqiong coming to the hotel.

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu suddenly shuddered and quickly said to their classmates with a smile, "This is a class reunion. Let's not worry too much about our current status. Let's just talk about the past."

"Good! Good!" Of course the students in the audience agreed.

In fact, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu did not have the courage to brag in front of Suning, so in order not to embarrass themselves, they immediately stopped everyone from revealing their identities.

"Chunming, Ayu, are you here?" Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu hurried to Suning and Ayu to greet them.

"Haha, we're late."

"It's not too late! This is just the beginning."

Su Meng and Cheng Jianjun both felt a little unnatural when they saw Suning and Ayu appear. Looking at the dignified and proper Ayu in front of him, Su Meng suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

Su Meng became a little angry when she thought of this. She stood up and walked to the stage in the hotel lobby. She said to everyone present, "Everyone, let me perform a song called 'Suburbs of Moscow' for you."

"Oh!!! OK!!!"

Seeing Su Meng singing on the stage, Suning and Ayu smiled knowingly, "Suning, your class reunion is quite interesting."

"Haha, this is just the beginning. There will be more interesting things soon." Suning explained in a low voice.

"Oh?"

"clap clap"

Su Meng quickly finished singing "Suburbs of Moscow" and walked down the stage in the hotel lobby amid everyone's warm applause. She was as proud as a proud rooster and returned to her husband Ye Tianrong, surrounded by stars.

"Sister Su Meng, you sing so beautifully!" A Yu looked at Su Meng with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Su Meng became even more proud at this time.

At this moment, the old shady Cheng Jianjun suddenly smiled and said, "Han Chunming, do you still remember the class reunion in 1977?"

"Remember! What's wrong?"

"Because you couldn't play the piano, you lost the bet with me and called me 'Grandpa' in public." Cheng Jianjun deliberately opened up Su Ning's scars in public again. "I wonder if you have learned to play the piano after more than ten years?"

"Cheng Jianjun, are you looking for death?" Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu looked at Cheng Jianjun fiercely.

Cheng Jianjun met the murderous gaze of Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, and suddenly felt a throbbing and fear in his heart, and then he was a little confused as to why they were so protective of Suning.

Suning calmed down the furious Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, then smiled and said to Cheng Jianjun, "Haha, I've been traveling all over the country for over a decade and really haven't had time to learn the piano."

"Haha, then you, Han Chunming, still can't avenge what happened back then!" After waking up from his fear and panic, Cheng Jianjun became even more proud.

"Haha, but I'm well aware of my shortcomings, so when I got married, I chose to marry someone who can play the piano." Su Ning looked at the complacent Cheng Jianjun with disdain, then looked at A Yu with a smile on his face, "A Yu, go up and sing a piano piece for my classmates, so they can see what kind of wife I married."

"Okay!" Ah Yu agreed with a smile, and then asked Suning to decide on the repertoire. "Suning, which song do you want me to play?"

"Well, let's play Beethoven's Symphony No. 5." Su Ning suddenly looked at Cheng Jianjun meaningfully. "Sometimes I feel that fate is really strange. It turns out that the fate of some people is predetermined."

"Okay!" Ayu walked slowly towards the stage, looking dignified and generous.

Su Meng looked at the dignified and generous A Yu, and felt very uncomfortable. It was not until this moment that she realized that she was a "poor creature" who was only looking at the world from a narrow perspective. Now the center of the world was not her, Su Meng, but A Yu in front of her.

As Ayu's fingers moved, beautiful piano music spread to every corner of the hall. At this time, everyone present was stunned, and they were all drawn into the "Symphony of Fate", lamenting their own ill-fated fate.

At this time, Cheng Jianjun was so ashamed that he wanted to find a rat hole to crawl into. He didn't expect Suning to be so cruel and disdain the shame of the past. It was precisely this calmness that made Cheng Jianjun even more uncomfortable.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa"

When the song ended, all the students present stood up and applauded excitedly. Then, amid everyone's applause, A Yu slowly walked off the stage and returned to Suning's side.

"Haha, Ayu, you play so well."

Everyone present understood what Suning meant, because they all knew the grudge between Cheng Jianjun and Suning. Seeing Suning so calm and composed, everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
