After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 357 A Woman's Unwavering Devotion
Had dinner.

The group returned to the hotel together.

Zhou Haoran held Teacher Jiang's hand on his left and intertwined his fingers with Aunt Wan's on his right, a truly affectionate scene of public displays of affection.

This scene left Ji Yingyang with mixed feelings.

I don't know what to choose.

This is the Hilton Hotel. Ji Yingyang's room is on the 8th floor; it's a standard room.

Zhou Haoran was on the 12th floor in a luxury suite, and it wouldn't be right to just leave her downstairs alone. "Teacher Jiang, you and Aunt Wan go upstairs first. I'll go see Sister Yangyang and we can talk about some work-related matters."

"OK, all right."

Jiang Minsi spoke softly and gracefully, which made him look good all night.

Just like she said.

As our identities and relationships change, so does the way we interact.

Zhou Haoran didn't shy away from Yangyang's presence, "Teacher Jiang, I'll sleep in your room tonight. Please get ready."

Sheng Wenwan's gaze immediately became ambiguous and teasing.

"Then I'll go back and take a shower, and wait for you in the room."

Jiang Minsi's face flushed slightly, but she didn't act coy or petty; she readily agreed.

"Then you can go upstairs!" Zhou Haoran patted her on the bottom, and then added, "Aunt Wan, you can talk to her."

Sheng Wenwan pursed her lips and said, "I know, I'll definitely arrange it for you."

The two then took the elevator upstairs.

Zhou Haoran and Yangyang arrived at the 9th floor.

I went to her room, and the environment seemed alright.

With a man and a woman alone in a room, Ji Yingyang was worried that he might do something inappropriate, so she quickly brought up work, "When will the agency business start? Is the campus card project ready?"

Zhou Haoran nodded. "It's almost done. We've been developing it for over three months. We'll officially finalize it next month."

"Shall I place the order now?"

Ji Yingyang's beautiful eyes were brimming with tears.

Zhou Haoran said, "Let's place the order. The Europeans are too inefficient. Let's give them more time."

Ji Yingyang smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about that, they have it in stock."

“Then we need to hurry.” Zhou Haoran had already made arrangements. “After we get the chips back, we need to assemble and print them into smart cards in China. We need them when school starts in September, so let’s not rush it.”

"Assembly and printing are too easy. Orders can be placed in just a few days. I've already arranged everything." That wasn't Ji Yingyang's concern. "The main thing is that we need to expand the market as quickly as possible. The sales targets are quite high! If we don't meet them, we'll not only have to pay a penalty, but we'll also lose our general agency qualification."

It's a company secret, after all.

She didn't mention it when she was having dinner, as she wasn't familiar with Teacher Jiang.

Zhou Haoran asked, "How many targets are there?"

Ji Yingyang said, "The minimum annual sales volume is 3 chips!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I thought it would be much more! This time, Fudan University's campus cards can use 1 chips."

"There's still a shortage of 2 chips!"

Ji Yingyang dared not be careless.

Zhou Haoran said, "And the Red Star Card."

"How many is that?"

Ji Yingyang didn't think this task was easy. She had secured the Greater China regional distributorship through a clever scheme, with no deposit, no agency fees, and even a "pay after delivery" model.

Since the other party has taken such a big risk, she must also take a considerable risk.

Zhou Haoran said casually, "Sister Yangyang, you underestimate Haigang. It's the largest city in the country. With the pride of Haigang people, it must be in line with international standards and at the forefront of the country. Whether it's the campus card or the TV station card, they are actually small projects."

"Huh?" Ji Yingyang's eyes widened. "Then what kind of big project are you talking about?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Transportation smart card!"

"Really?"

Ji Yingyang's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

Zhou Haoran slowly said, "Campus cards and Red Star cards are actually just preliminary steps to accumulate experience and thoroughly understand the model. Transportation cards are the biggest market for smart cards in the short term. The port has a population of nearly 2000 million, but they still use paper tickets, even monthly passes, which is too troublesome."

Ji Yingyang said happily, "Yes, and the port is different from other cities. In other cities, you either have a public transport card, or you have buses and subways. Here in the port, there are three: buses, subways, and ferries. The port has a stronger demand in this regard."

"Given the size of the port, once the transportation card project is launched, sales of two to three million cards a year are easily achievable..." Zhou Haoran couldn't help but ask, "How much profit do you make as an agent for radio frequency chips?"

Ji Yingyang said, "The purchase price is a little over $5, but I think the retail price should be at least $12."

"I go!"

Zhou Haoran thought to himself, "Yangyang is pretty ruthless!"
Ji Yingyang said, puzzled, "This is the market price. Imported radio frequency chips are priced like this in China. $12 seems like a lot, but after deducting tariffs, value-added tax, and income tax, the profit per chip is less than $3."

Zhou Haoran had also researched the domestic industry.

Smart cards are not widely used in China, partly due to technological reasons and partly due to cost. A single card can cost as much as 120 yuan, with the main cost being the imported radio frequency chip.

Fudan University is going to introduce a campus card system.

Students cannot pay for the card.

The school should bear the cost.

Therefore, before the introduction of domestically produced alternative radio frequency chips, only the city of Haigang was qualified to implement smart cards nationwide.

Take, for example, the transportation smart card.

In my previous life, the harbor was launched in 1999.

All the chips used are imported.

The exorbitant card fees are all subsidized by the government; only seaports have the financial capacity to do so.

Two years later, in 2001, the capital city also launched a transportation card, which was different from the previous system where the card fee was borne by the user. This was because Fudan Microelectronics had by then developed radio frequency chips, providing a cheap domestic alternative. The card fee was very low, and China finally entered the era of transportation cards, ending the era of paper tickets. Zhou Haoran analyzed, "Before the introduction of domestic alternatives, your business would have no competitors; you would have a monopoly in the market. You wouldn't have to worry about anything else!"

Ji Yingyang understands the market well and naturally comprehends his strategy. "I understand, you're focusing on technology with your left hand and... well, why are you focusing on me?"

"We were just arresting you!"

Zhou Haoran reached out and placed his hand on her thigh.

Ji Yingyang said angrily, "Zhou Haoran, I'm talking to you about serious business. Can you please stop touching me?"

"You're just worried, aren't you?" Zhou Haoran didn't seem to care at all. "With me here, what are you afraid of? I'm the initiator of this smart card project in China. Do you think I'll let someone else take it away from me?"

Ji Yingyang broke free from him and quickly ran to the corner of the wall, keeping a safe distance from him.

To prevent him from having lustful thoughts again.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking defensive.

“I know you’re focusing on both technology and distribution channels to achieve market dominance. But there’s a gap here, and if it’s not handled properly, things could easily change.”

Ji Yingyang expressed her concerns.

What's missing?

Zhou Haoran didn't believe she had the ability to find loopholes in his plan; at least, someone in her early twenties couldn't possibly have that ability.

Ji Yingyang said softly, "Smart card technology is a combination of hardware and software. You've developed the system, which is only the software level. What about the hardware? The radio frequency chip is the biggest hidden danger. There are several semiconductor companies in the world that can produce this kind of smart card radio frequency chip."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Foreign products are too expensive; domestic alternatives are the future."

"You think you can just rely on domestic alternatives?"

"Okay!"

"Ok?"

"The team working on domestic substitution is right here at our school, and they're on my team!"

Zhou Haoran's campus card project was originally a collaboration with Professor Gao Xiangwen.

The university-affiliated enterprise where Professor Gao Xiangwen works is now called Fudan High Technology Company. Once the radio frequency chip is developed, it will be officially commercialized and renamed Fudan Microelectronics.

Later, it went public and had a market value of tens of billions, becoming a well-known university-affiliated semiconductor company in China.

The core business is smart cards.

"Forget it, I'm going upstairs. It's not like I'm the one who needs a woman!"

Seeing her flustered state, Zhou Haoran decided to go upstairs.

Ji Yingyang breathed a sigh of relief.

The arm that had been blocking his chest was lowered.

Unexpectedly, a figure flashed over, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.

"do not want!"

Ji Yingyang was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Fortunately, Zhou Haoran wouldn't be so tasteless; he was just teasing her, laughing and saying, "Sister Yangyang, I've noticed you're being a bit paranoid, aren't you? Do I really look like a bad guy?"

"Go and pamper your teacher Jiang!"

Ji Yingyang gritted his teeth.

It's hard to even muster the will to resist in front of this man. If he really tries to use force, there's really nothing you can do.

Zhou Haoran wouldn't resort to force.

In a relationship between a man and a woman, the most important thing is mutual affection.

After going upstairs, I saw that Teacher Jiang had indeed taken a shower and was wrapped in a large white bath towel.

In the past, when you smelled it, you could smell that your body smelled wonderful.

Zhou Haoran went over and hugged her.

Jiang Minsi, soft and shy, nestled in his arms, "Go take a shower first."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, I feel that you have become gentler!"

Jiang Minsi said softly, "Now that I'm with you, I'm yours, and I will wholeheartedly devote myself to our new relationship."

Zhou Haoran held her in his arms and whispered, "After tonight, there will be no chance to regret it."

"A woman has no regrets."

Jiang Minsi's tone was very firm.

Zhou Haoran kissed her for a while, then said, "Go lie down on the bed. I'll take a shower and be right back!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Minsi's voice was nasal and so soft it could melt your heart.

Zhou Haoran went to take a shower.

It only takes a few minutes.

Back in the bedroom, I saw Teacher Jiang lying on the bed covered with a blanket, revealing her delicate and rosy face, and her long black hair scattered on the pillow.

"master……"

Jiang Minsi murmured a name.

Zhou Haoran felt his bones go numb. He went over and lifted the blanket, only to find that the only thing she was wearing, her bath towel, was gone. She lay there quietly like a porcelain doll, just like a concubine waiting for the emperor's favor, with a white handkerchief under her.

Everything is ready.

"Teacher Jiang, you're mine from now on."

Zhou Haoran removed his bath towel, got into bed, and lay down next to him.

Jiang Minsi hooked her arms around his neck and said softly, "They're all yours."
