Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 271 Xiaomi Opens! (First Update!)

The meal was just a regular work lunch, but the chef was so skilled that he made these seemingly ordinary dishes taste extraordinary.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yi began subtly inquiring about the chef's background, but after only two questions, Fang Yaoguo shoved him away.
“I’m warning you seriously, you can poach anyone else, but if you poach our cook, you’ll die a horrible death.”

"It's absolutely terrible!"

After a short rest at noon, the group returned to the original meeting room. This time, with fewer people, the atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed.

Guo Song sat down directly on the table in front of Lin Yi and asked with a smile:

Are you sure we can see the real results by the end of the year?

"This is no joke. If you're really sure, then we might need to add an extra training plan."

"If we can't see the real deal when the time comes, things could get a bit troublesome!"

Sensing the other person's worry, Lin Yi stretched and leaned back in his chair, saying, "Don't worry, old man!"

"Although I am relatively young, I am more reliable than others in handling matters."

"I'm talking about the end of the year, so let's see how it goes at the end of the year."

"However, from now until the end of the year, I may frequently trouble you all, so please don't hang up on me then."

On the table, Guo Song, with his arms crossed, stared at Lin Yi for a long time, making sure he wasn't joking, before nodding slightly: "As long as we can see the real deal!"

"I guarantee you right here, anyone who dares to hang up on you, I'll kill them!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the others in the conference room:
"Right?"

In the conference room, everyone who made eye contact with him rolled their eyes, and in the end, a few even gave him the middle finger.

Having received a friendly response, Guo Song turned around and said smugly, "Look!"

As he spoke, he was met with even more raised middle fingers.

After exchanging pleasantries, Guo Song's gaze returned to Lin Yi:

"If you're not in a hurry to go back in the next couple of days, give us a rough schedule."

"How do you plan to work from now until the end of the year?"

"Write down the plan on which coordination is needed at which point."

"After we received it, we made some preparations in advance."

“Once your work reaches the deadline, we can get right to work without wasting time running around in circles.”

When Guo Song asked him to prepare a schedule, Lin Yi felt completely overwhelmed.

Work step by step.

Very annoying!

So annoying!
I'm a boss, how did I end up like this?
He sighed and spread his hands: "I have to attend a company opening tomorrow. Only after that will I have time to work on this schedule."

"If you're not in a hurry, then give me two more days."

"It's no big deal!" Guo Song waved his hand and gave them another week's grace.

Having been given more time, he asked curiously, "What company is it that's worth someone as busy as you making a special trip?"

Lin Yi opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say the name Xiaomi.

After all, one is Xiaomi and the other is Xiaomi Heavy Industry; people who don't know the difference might think they are the same company.

Those who understand the situation will only think that one of them is the real deal and the other is a fake.

He changed his posture in the chair:
“My friend’s company! He was originally scheduled to open on the 6th of last month, but because he was helping me with my business, it was delayed until the 6th of this month.”

"You should definitely go. What company is it? Should I come and support you?"

Lin Yi was deeply moved by the suggestion, but then decisively refused: "No need!"

"There might be foreigners present at that time, so it wouldn't be appropriate for you few to show up."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Guo Song naturally lost the desire to attend. He turned to the others and asked:
"If you have any ideas, take advantage of the fact that everyone is here this afternoon and organize all your random thoughts."

"Let's all bump into each other and put some pressure on Kobayashi."

then.

The remaining people in the conference room quickly pulled out their notebooks from their pockets and then simultaneously placed them in front of Lin Yi:
"Come on, Xiaolin! I think what you said about lowering our expectations for drones isn't a good idea!"

"We should raise our expectations. If we do, it means that the equipment we are developing will be at the world's leading level."

"Always stay far ahead!"

"Get out of my way, Xiaolin. I want to ask you something. In your so-called swarm warfare, how do the drones identify their teammates and pinpoint their locations to prevent them from colliding with each other during flight?"

"Little Lin..."

Within minutes, Lin Yi was swallowed up by the sounds of the small forest.

Meanwhile, at the Yingu Building.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lei Jun crossed his arms, his face expressionless, and silently gazed at the scenery outside.

Just then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that the person rushing towards him was Lin Bin.

Upon seeing the visitor, Lei Jun quickly asked, "Have you still not been able to contact our General Manager Lin?"

"I can't get in touch with him!" Lin Bin shook his head repeatedly, pressed his temples, and explained softly:

"I contacted their finance manager, Mr. Ji, who said that Mr. Lin arrived in Yanjing by plane last night."

"But it seems he's going to meet someone today, so his phone has been switched off since this morning."

"Perhaps it will be possible to get through later."

Hearing this, Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his stern face. Then, he shook his head vigorously, and his hair, which he had carefully maintained with Pantene, cascaded back gracefully with the movement.

He turned his gaze back to the window, to the bustling traffic on the street, and suddenly asked softly:
"Do you remember the first time he came to us to borrow money?"

As he spoke, Lei Jun pointed downwards with his right hand. Lin Bin looked in the direction he was pointing and found that the spot his partner was pointing to was the very bench where Lin Yi had been sitting with the newspaper.

When Lin Bin's gaze fell on the bench, Lei Jun smiled and spoke again:

"He just suddenly jumped out to borrow money, and one loan was 5 million yuan."

"To be honest, I was afraid he would suddenly pull out a knife from behind his back and chop us all up."

But he didn't!

"Later, when I sat down and discussed things with him, I realized that he was a talented person."

“I wanted to invest in him, and I even thought that maybe one day in the future he would become my right-hand man.”

"But I never expected..."

"Time flies like water. In just a few months, he has grown into a towering tree, which is a bit too terrifying."

Sensing the melancholy in Lei Jun's voice, Lin Bin moved closer to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Do you know what it means to find comfort under a big tree?

"If it weren't for him, would your trip to America have gone so smoothly?"

"The terms offered by Qualcomm alone are enough to give us a run for our money."

“If you’re afraid, you can give me your 5% stake in Xiaomi Heavy Industry.”

"I'll help you bear this pressure!"

"I'm a pretty tough person, I can handle it!"

He had barely finished his joke when he heard Lei Jun's sly laughter:
"You've had too much to drink!" The next second, Lin Bin patted his chest: "I'm not drunk! Just daydreaming!"

"So don't worry, even if our startup fails, we can just pack up all the people we have and put them under Xiaomi Heavy Industry."

"You become the general manager, and I'll be your deputy. Together, we'll dominate the market."

Seeing Lin Bin's enthusiastic expression, Lei Jun rolled his eyes a few times and said to Lin Bin sideways:

"Shut your mouth, you jinx."

"Tomorrow is an auspicious day I've chosen. If your jinx comes true, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

After making the threat, Lei Jun turned and walked away from the floor-to-ceiling window, heading towards the office next door.

Seeing him leave, Lin Bin quickly followed, asking, "Where are you going?"

"Go prepare your speech!"

"No, it's just a few people from inside, plus a few others who came to attend the ceremony. You even prepared a speech? Are you drunk? Who wants to listen to your rambling? Everyone's here for the food, and you're giving a speech? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Lei Jun walked in front, and Lin Bin followed behind him, constantly rambling on and on, just like a carbon copy of Tang Sanzang from A Chinese Odyssey.

The two of them ran to the restroom and rehearsed their speech countless times.

Lei Jun rehearsed until dinner time before letting Lin Bin go out to eat with his group.

He had just sat down at the restaurant when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lin Yi's number.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his excitement and answered the phone:

"Is Mr. Lin finished with his work?"

In the hotel, listening to the inquiry over the phone, Lin Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied wearily:
"Busy working."

"Because I had a lot of things to do, my phone was switched off. I just got back to the hotel and turned it on, and I found that all my calls were from Mr. Lin Bin."

"Just make a phone call to ask."

"Is there any change to the opening ceremony?"

"No, no!" Lei Jun's denial came through the phone, quick and urgent.

"I just wanted to confirm if you'd be coming tomorrow, since I have a gift for you."

"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned. He held the phone up to his eyes, repeatedly confirming that the number on the screen belonged to Lei Jun, before bringing the phone to his mouth:

"Shouldn't I be the one giving gifts at your opening ceremony?"

Why are you giving me a gift?

On the phone, Lei Jun did not answer his questions, but repeatedly emphasized that he must arrive early tomorrow.

After emphasizing it several times, knowing that Lin Yi needed to rest, the other end of the phone hung up.

Holding the phone that had just been hung up, Lin Yi shook his head, removed the battery, put it in a universal charger, replaced it with another battery, tossed the phone aside, and went to sleep.

At 6 a.m. sharp, the alarm clock rang, and he jumped out of bed on time.

After tidying himself up and taking two spare batteries, he left with his briefcase.

The hotel's car took him to Yingu Building. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Lei Jun greeting him at the entrance of the building.

Beneath his long, slanted bangs was his signature smile.

After standing and watching for a while, and taking out his phone to take two photos, Lin Yi finally dawdled over at a leisurely pace:
"Mr. Lei, it's been a long time!"

"President Lin, it's been a long time!" Lei Jun grabbed Lin Yi's hand. "Come, come, you're a distinguished guest."

"You go upstairs first, Lin Bin is always upstairs."

"I'll pick up two more people before we go up!"

"Okay!" After saying goodbye to Lei Jun, Lin Yi walked happily along the signs and went upstairs.

When the elevator reached the target floor and the doors opened, Lin Yi saw Lin Bin greeting him at the door.

He smiled and waved, and Lin Bin casually pointed to the side:
"We're all on the same side, so I won't bother with you. Sit wherever you're comfortable."

"Great!" With no one to bother him, Lin Yi was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Of course, he also wanted to take a good look at the legendary Flower and Fruit Mountain.

The last time I came here, this office looked very messy, with a unique Iraqi war-damaged style.

This time, the entrance hall was decorated as the opening ceremony venue.

The floor was covered with a vermilion carpet, and a dozen or so round tables were placed on top of it.

The surrounding walls were covered with red balloons and red ribbons.

This looks more like a wedding than a business opening ceremony.

Further inside the office, some green plants and background paintings were added, which made the office look much more pleasing to the eye.

Not long after they found a room to sit in, Lei Jun and Lin Bin appeared before Lin Yi.

He also closed the door to the room.

As soon as the two sat down, Lei Jun took an envelope from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Yi:

"President Lin, this is the gift I mentioned I wanted to give you."

The white envelope with the orchid logo had a stamp and a post office seal on it.

These two items demonstrate that the envelope and its contents can serve as evidence!

Lin Yi flicked the envelope with his finger and asked, "What's this?"

"Equity transfer statement!" Lei Jun pressed his finger against the envelope and pushed it towards Lin Yi's eyes again:
“At the time, I invested 2000 million yuan in your Xiaomi Heavy Industry, and you gave me 5% of the shares.”

"During this period, thanks to your connections, I had a significant advantage when negotiating with several international manufacturers."

"Therefore, I've also decided to give you 5% of the shares in our Xiaomi Group!"

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't reach for the envelope, Lei Jun rubbed his hands together, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice:

"that……"

"Don't look down on us since we're just starting out. I believe that in the future, our company's market value will definitely exceed 100 billion."

Finally, Lei Jun clenched his fist and shook it forcefully: "I have that ability!"

Looking at the two people opposite him, Lin Yi reached out and took the envelope, opened it, glanced at it, and then casually stuffed it into his briefcase: "I believe President Lei has the ability!"

"By the way, what were the main guests who came today?"

Lin Yi only said half of what he wanted to say; the rest required Lei Jun's explanation.

Seeing Lin Yi reach for the envelope, Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and explained:
"Suppliers, the suppliers of the components needed to manufacture a mobile phone!"

"It's mainly those major components of the phone."

“I invited them before, but they weren’t planning to come.”

"Later I told them that you were coming, and they came."

"Otherwise, I'm not in a hurry!"

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door from the outside:
"President Lei, President Lin Bin, President Lin Yi, almost all the guests have arrived. It's time for the three of you to come out and say something!"

Hearing the voices outside, Lei Jun stood up and said to the two men with a smile:
"Let's go out and meet these friends!"
