Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 289 The Poisonous Strategist Lin Yi! (First Update!)

Gulu.

Lin Yi swallowed hard, his gaze falling on Xiao He.

At this moment, Xiao He's face was beaming with smiles, as if he had already anticipated the opening of the Jiangdaqiao Marathon next year.

Seeing the smile on his face, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head and let out a soft sigh.

This is the Thirteen Protectors. If they have the chance to trick the people around them, they will definitely try every means and use all their strength.

In recent years, Jinling City has been developing vigorously. According to data released by the Statistics Bureau, as of the end of 09, the built-up area of ​​the entire Jinling City was approximately 650 square kilometers.

Meanwhile, Nanjing City has also built a large number of ring roads around this 650-square-kilometer built-up area.

For example, the newly completed ring expressway, according to official data, has a completed section of about 100 kilometers, plus the old road, totaling more than 100 kilometers.

A standard marathon is only 42.195 kilometers.

Even if you bring in foreign aid from Ethiopia, the more than 100-kilometer-long ring road would be exhausting to drive.

Lin Yi had seen Jiang Daqiao, the Party Secretary of Jinling City, on television. He was about the same age as Qin Chao, but because Jinling was the provincial capital, he looked much older than Qin Chao.

Making an old man run 100 kilometers is practically asking him to die.
Ah, the competition between cities has always been like this!
After expressing his feelings, Lin Yi pinched the bridge of his nose and asked again:
"What methods do you plan to use to get this old man to run more than 100 kilometers?"

Snapped!
Xiao He snapped his fingers and said with a smug look on his face:
"Those naval comrades have been inspecting a special alloy processing plant in Yushan these past two days."

"According to Secretary Qin's idea, we will invite them over tomorrow morning, and at the same time, we will also invite Secretary Jiang Daqiao of Jinling City."

"Once they see your equipment, they'll know that Secretary Qin wasn't lying."

"But before that, Secretary Qin will have Secretary Jiang Daqiao sign a commitment letter."

"I promise that if I lose, I'll run a lap around Nanjing!"

Hearing that Qin Chao was going to make Jiang Daqiao sign a commitment letter, Lin Yi couldn't help but think to himself, "How ruthless."

If it was just talk at first, then signing the commitment letter means they're serious!
They really treat people like Japanese people!
"Shall I make some arrangements? Give the workers under my command a day off tomorrow?" Lin Yi asked tentatively. If he wasn't mistaken, those naval representatives were probably there for that 10,000-ton warship.

That was a strictly confidential project.
Making this news public isn't good for anyone.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Xiao He frowned, pondered seriously for a moment, then nodded:

“We can give the workers a day off, but the key personnel have to stay, as we may need to answer some questions later.”

"OK!"

Lin Yi made an OK sign, and then invited Xiao He to have dinner together.

Just as Xiao He was about to agree, he suddenly remembered what Ji Shuangshuang had said not long ago.

They're going to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!
Thinking of that dish, Xiao He shook her head slightly: "No, no, I have work this afternoon, so I'll go back first."

See you tomorrow morning!

Leaving behind a single sentence, Xiao He fled as if his life depended on it. His speed was such that even Usain Bolt would have to admit defeat.

For a moment, only Lin Yi and Ji Shuangshuang remained at the entrance of the office building.

After experiencing the scorching sun of mid-to-late May, Lin Yi asked with a guilty look on his face:
"How about we order something else?"

As he spoke, he took two steps back guiltily.

Seeing his guilty look, Ji Shuangshuang nodded understandingly. Before Lin Yi could speak, she put away her smile and refused the suggestion: "No! We'll have West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce from Taihu Restaurant!"

"Order a 5-jin (2.5 catties) carp!"

An hour later, on the second floor of Taihu Tower, in a lakeside private room.

Lin Yi and his companion sat facing each other, with a large plate of West Lake Vinegar Fish between them.

The wind blowing from the lake carried a slight fishy smell from the lake water.

The fishy smell of the wind, carrying the unique aroma of West Lake Vinegar Fish, kept wafting into their nostrils.

But the two, already driven by their competitive spirit, didn't take this minor disagreement to heart at all, staring intently at each other.

"Here!" Lin Yi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish from the belly, coated it with vinegar sauce, and held it lightly under his left hand, slowly bringing it to Ji Shuangshuang.
"Honey, it's time to eat fish!"

Ji Shuangshuang kept a cold face and did not answer.

Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish from where Lin Yi had picked it up, coated it with more vinegar sauce, and brought it to Lin Yi's mouth:

"Brother, it's time to eat fish!"

"I'm a man, so ladies should go first. You eat first!"

"No, no, no, you're a man, you're the pillar of the family, you should get this good stuff first."

"As a modern man, my morality only allows women to go first!"

"I'm a traditional woman, and I believe in the three obediences and four virtues! You go first!"

The two of them talked for a long time, but neither of them opened their mouths.

After a stalemate of two or three minutes, Ji Shuangshuang took the initiative to put her chopsticks back and stuffed the fish meat on them into her mouth.

He chewed and chewed, then used his hand to pull a small fish bone out from the corner of his mouth.

Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed as she chewed.

A hint of surprise slowly appeared on that fair and pretty face.

After spitting out the fish bones, she picked up a second piece of fish with her chopsticks, still coated in vinegar sauce.

A trace of vinegar left on the corner of her mouth, making her look even more charming and cute.

After finishing her second bite, she gently nodded her head.
"The fish seems to be a freshwater carp, and it doesn't have that fishy smell anymore."

Listening to this lukewarm comment, Lin Yi slowly shifted his gaze to the fish on the chopsticks.

He frowned and looked at it for a while, then put the fish into his mouth with some skepticism.

The next second, his face turned bitter.

The vinegar is still the same vinegar, but after the chef's cooking, it has an indescribable taste, making it even more unpalatable.

As for the fish meat, it wasn't freshwater fish at all.

It's still the carp from Taihu Lake.

In short, it's fishy!

Just as he was about to say a few words, Ji Shuangshuang expressionlessly picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and placed it in front of Lin Yi: "Come on, Dalang, it's time to eat fish!"

"I don't know who said that anyone who doesn't eat it is a dog!"

Spitting out the fish bone, Lin Yi picked up a piece of fish meat:

"Come on, who's afraid of who!"

…………

Suzhou Municipal Government.

The moment Xiao He returned to the municipal government, he found Qin Chao.

After explaining the situation with Lin Yi, Qin Chao nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't worry, this time, I'll make sure Jiang Daqiao regrets it!"

"Also, go and find out the schedules of the other municipal party secretaries for me. I want to invite them to attend the ceremony!"

"Wearing fine clothes in the dark is not my style, Qin Chao."

"By the way, let's invite the other mayors from the city tomorrow too, so we can all share in the joy." "Okay!" Xiao He nodded, then turned to check the schedules of the secretaries of the other cities, and at the same time, contacted the mayors of Suzhou to arrange new itineraries.

In less than half an hour, he returned with a list:
"When the secretaries of the other cities heard that you made a bet with Secretary Jiang Daqiao, they all canceled their original plans. Several of them said they would come today and bring more people with them!"

"They even said they'd make sure the event was lively and exciting!"

"How to do?"

"I don't care!" Qin Chao waved his hand, looking even more smug. He got up from his chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the window.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows lies the most bustling area of ​​Suzhou, but further away, the bustling atmosphere diminishes slightly.

After staring at the scenery outside the window for a while, he turned around:
"Don't worry, we'll prepare as many tables as there are guests. Anyway, I'm not the one running the marathon!"

Having received Qin Chao's words, Xiao He immediately felt reassured: "Then I'll go prepare right now!"

After leaving those words, he turned and walked out of Qin Chao's office to arrange accommodations for the group that night.

Time flies, and it's already the second day.

Qin Chao, accompanied by Xiao He, first picked up several representatives from the Navy, then turned around and went to meet people from several other cities on the hotel street. Dozens of people in total marched towards Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

The closer they got, the more solemn the naval representative's expression became. When the familiar logo on the Xiaomi phone came into view, the naval representative tilted his head and looked at Qin Chao with a face full of suspicion:

"Secretary Qin, is this the company you mentioned that can manufacture those steel cables?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's this company. I can guarantee that their test bench looks exactly like the one shown in your PPT!" Qin Chao quickly responded, but soon he noticed that the naval representative who asked the question had a strange expression.

It seems that the other party has had dealings with people from Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked the question quite directly:
"Has Representative Gao had dealings with people from Xiaomi Heavy Industry?"

Gao Hai nodded slightly: "I met their boss in Yanjing!"

"There were just too many people at the time, so I couldn't talk to him!"

"Hmm?" Qin Chao gave a long "hmm," his eyes widening in that instant.

Soon, he remembered what Xiao He had told him a couple of days ago when he was in a meeting in Nanjing.

He frowned and pressed on, "The rocket and satellite thing?"

"Hmm!" Gao Hai replied indifferently, frowned for a moment, and asked:

"Besides satellites, rockets, and communications, do they have any other businesses?"

"Yes!" Qin Chao slapped his thigh, then turned to face the secretaries of several other cities in Jiangsu Province, and said with a smug look on his face:

"They also work on batteries and special metal processing."

"And what about those silicon carbide bearings and stuff?"

“They’re all low-level jobs. I’ve been telling that kid to focus on the essentials, but he just won’t do them.”

"When you see him later, Representative Gao, remember to say a few words for me."

"We've gotten to know each other well, and he's become so disobedient!"

As he finished speaking, Qin Chao shut up, a look of annoyance appearing on his face, and he slapped his thigh in perfect unison.

Behind him stood Jiang Daqiao, the Party Secretary of Nanjing.

With each word Qin Chao spoke, his face grew darker, until it was completely as black as ink.

The eyes that looked at Qin Chao were also filled with murderous intent.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the entrance of Xiaomi Heavy Industry Communications Company.

After registration, the security personnel checked the vehicles again before guiding them to the parking lot.

After the group got out of the car, Qin Chao immediately spotted Lin Yi standing at the edge of the parking lot.

He beckoned the person to come closer, then pointed at Gao Hai:
"This is Gao Hai, the Navy representative. He said you met him in Yanjing before."

"I have indeed seen him!" Nodding to Qin Chao, Lin Yi turned and extended his hand to Gao Hai:
"Representative Gao, it feels like three autumns have passed since we last met. What brings you to Suzhou?"

"I'm looking for something!" Gao Hai grasped Lin Yi's right hand, shook it gently, and then casually let go.

"Secretary Qin has given his full assurance, saying that you definitely have what we need here."

"He also made a bet with Secretary Jiang Daqiao: whoever lost would have to run a lap around the city they were in charge of."

As the sound rang out, Lin Yi turned around and looked at the crowd, immediately spotting Jiang Daqiao, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Even at 10 a.m. in late May, it's already very hot.

But Jiang Daqiao's face was completely dry, without a drop of sweat.

I imagine he was utterly devastated.

Lin Yi tilted his head, took small steps to Qin Chao's side, and whispered:

"You're getting on in years, don't go all out, let's switch to something easier!"

Qin Chao made the bet with Jiang Daqiao to show off, and now that he has achieved his goal, there is no need to pursue it further.

Lin Yi offered him a way out, and he naturally accepted it:
"That's true, our Party Secretary Jiang Daqiao is quite old!"

"We must not cause harm to others!"

"Let me think, what kind of bet should we make?"

The next second, Lin Yi poked his head out from the side: "Let's eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!"

"Secretary Jiang Daqiao ate West Lake Vinegar Fish in Lin'an in front of the camera, and also gave his comments on West Lake Vinegar Fish!"

His voice wasn't quiet, and everyone around him could hear the bet clearly.

Jiang Daqiao's face darkened even more after hearing this.

Meanwhile, people from several neighboring cities, upon hearing this, beamed with smiles and showered Lin Yi with praise.

"This Mr. Lin is indeed clever!"

"This bet is good. West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is a famous dish in Lin'an. Our Secretary Jiang Daqiao commented on West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce on camera, which can greatly promote the relationship between Jiangsu Province and Lin'an."

"Yes, yes, I'll send someone to Lin'an right now to hire an absolutely authentic chef!"

"That's a great idea! This is what they call killing two sheep with one tiger!"

After listening to the praise for a while, Lin Yi pointed past the office building in front of him to the factory further away:
"We have to get over there!"

Led by him, a group of people walked out of the telecommunications company, circled around, and ended up at the special metal processing factory.

Once inside the factory, a group of people, led by Cao Bin, entered the testing workshop.

The lights in the testing workshop suddenly turned on, and under the dazzling white light, the huge testing platform stood tall in front of everyone.

Upon seeing the test platform, which was several hundred meters long, Gao Hai's eyes widened in an instant. He then ran to the bottom of the platform in a few steps, his hands trembling as he reached out and gently touched the cables on the platform.

After touching the cable, he turned his attention to the clamps securing the cable and the hydraulic screw.

After staring at these things for a while, he opened his briefcase and took out a document.

Then, holding the document in his left hand and stroking the equipment on the testing platform with his right, he murmured a question:

"How can this be?"
