Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 492 We need to find a way to monitor this! (Third update!)
The so-called overlap actually means that a few characters extend beyond the edge of the email box, beyond that line.

In an email, the text cannot extend beyond the email box.

So, this is a photoshopped image!
Holding the document, Navarro had a bold conjecture in his mind, and as soon as this bold conjecture appeared, his entire back was soaked with cold sweat.

He took a few deep breaths to calm his heart rate before tentatively asking Walter:

"You mean that the information that has been circulating wildly on the internet recently is actually photoshopped by someone?"

"Or rather, it was his wild imagination. However, these wild imaginations, combined with the internal strife left by Gaddafi's forces, turned this false thing into reality."

"Is it right?"

Across from him, Walter nodded vigorously with an expression of admiration: "Mr. Navarro, for now, your analysis is closest to the truth we suspect."

Under Walter's adoring gaze, Navarro grabbed a pen from the table and smashed it to the ground.

If that's the case, then this whole joke has really gotten out of hand.

The CIA has been monitoring the world since 2007, but now, someone has actually pulled off a feint right under their noses.

The others were very cooperative and actually went to the Sahara Desert for a fight.

Many people died.

Navarro took another deep breath and looked up at Walter:
How many people know about this?

His tone was unusually serious, and Walter knew this wasn't the time for flattery. His expression turned cold, and he spread his left hand, cracking his knuckles a few times, before replying softly, "For now, it's just a few people in the cyber intelligence gathering team, me, and Mr. Navarro, as you know!"

"But the few people in the cyber intelligence gathering team just reported this to me, and I didn't draw any conclusions about it."

Having figured out how many people knew about this, Navarro breathed a huge sigh of relief. This matter couldn't be leaked; if it were, the CIA would be utterly humiliated.

As the bureau chief, he's likely to be verbally abused to death, especially by people in the Ministry of National Defense. They absolutely mustn't find out.

He tapped his fingers on the table a few times, then calmly looked at Walter:
"I need you to do two things now!"

"The first thing is to downplay this matter. If someone asks, just say that the matter is still under investigation, and then try to make this matter disappear."

"In short, don't let anyone know that this is a rumor, whether true or false."

"Secondly, this new software is not from America. I need you to develop a plan to bring this software into our monitoring scope."

"It would be best to compile this plan into a report, which I will send to the Department of Defense and to the President."

Upon receiving the new orders, Walter saluted, turned around, and left with the documents to handle them as Navarro had instructed.

Navarro, who remained in his office, took a brown paper bag from the second drawer on his left after closing the door.

The seal on the kraft paper bag has been torn off.

I opened the file bag, took the file out, and stared at it in a daze.

[Analysis of ByteDance's Equity Structure in Lin'an, China]

In this architectural analysis, Navarro saw a familiar name, or rather, one of his partners.

Xiaomi Heavy Industry.

He stared at the document for a long time before finally focusing on the signature at the end.

Apple Technology.

Seeing this, he sighed, put the file back in the drawer, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, stood up, walked out of the office, and went into Dmitry's office next door.

How were the profits last month?

Dmitri was busy working at his computer when he suddenly heard the question. He quickly looked up and, at the same time, reached for the computer tower.

Upon recognizing Navarro, he quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and continued working.
"Last month's revenue was very good. Home appliances have already opened up sales channels in America and are also selling well in South America. It's just that things are quite chaotic there, which is very troublesome."

"As for drug and other valuables smuggling, because of the existence of drones, we can now bypass the coast guards of California, Texas, and Florida."

"Without their share of the profits, this time the returns are quite good."

“They don’t have drone systems or anti-drone systems, so they recently thought we’d given up or changed our approach.”

"These idiots!"

After finishing his tirade, Dmitry looked up from his computer and asked, "Your money... or should I exchange it for gold?"

Navarro leaned against the door and nodded slightly: "Instead of gold, or... real estate of equal value!"

Hearing that he was planning to buy real estate, Dmitri was somewhat surprised. He blinked and asked in a low voice, "Where do you want the real estate?"

"You'd better choose carefully. If the price crashes later, don't say I didn't warn you."

“Los Angeles, California! Just give me the stuff later, I have work to do, gotta go?” With those two sentences, Navarro left with a flourish. As he reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to look at Dmitri.
"Give our partner in China a call and ask him if we can add something new, like a mobile phone."

"Also, tell him that apples are not good things."

After saying that, Navarro turned and left.

Back to the office.

He sat down at his desk again and took the documents out of the drawer once more.

He reviewed the document again, then took out a lighter from the drawer on his right, lit it, and threw it into the ashtray.

The kraft paper bag was not flame retardant, and in just two or three minutes, the kraft paper bag and the documents inside were reduced to ashes in the ashtray.

Once the brown paper bag had burned completely, Navarro picked up his pen again, crushed the ashes in the ashtray, poured in the remaining coffee from his coffee cup, and added some water.

Stir it, and the traces of the kraft paper bag will completely disappear.

After doing all this, he walked slowly to the French windows with his hands behind his back.

Outside the window, the plains carved out by the Potomac River are exceptionally flat, and one can see the White House on the distant horizon at a glance.

Looking at the White House, which resembled an ant's size, Navarro remarked:
"Making money is really not easy!"

…………

"Any new products? Apple isn't good? No... Mr. Dmitry, is the CIA really that idle?" "Not idle, just looking to make money?"

"Alright, I do have some new products here, but they won't be available until a few days later, after the launch event."

"What is it? You'll find out after the press conference. Don't worry, it'll definitely sell well!"

"Is it easy to transport? Of course it's easy to transport! That stuff is much easier to transport!"

After a series of words, Lin Yi hung up the call with Dmitry, put his phone on the table, and tapped his fingers lightly on the surface as he began to ponder what Dmitry really meant by saying that apples were not a good thing.

First of all, the apple Dmitri is talking about is definitely not an edible apple, so that leaves only Apple Inc.

His connection with Apple extends to contract manufacturing and software.

If it's related to the CIA, then it must be software.

Recalling how Cook appeared in front of those presidents in America in her previous life, the answer quietly surfaced in Lin Ying's mind.

Cook submitted some software information to the CIA, and because of his high rank, the information went directly to Dmitry.

There might be some information inside that's detrimental to him, but that bastard Dmitri chose this subtle way to remind himself to be careful about his collaboration with Apple, all for the sake of making money.

Cook, that guy...

That's still a bit too snobbish.

Lin Yi raised his hand, rubbed his head, and picked up the phone again. This time, he called Lei Jun.

Before Lin Yi could even speak after the call connected, Lei Jun's aggrieved voice came from the other end:
"Stop rushing me, stop rushing me!"

"We are really working, we are not slacking off, we..."

In Yanjing, Lei Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone for a long time before noticing that there was no movement on the other side.

Hold the phone up to your face, carefully read the note on the screen, and gently bring the receiver to your ear, asking into the microphone:

"Mr. Lin?"

The question was asked cautiously, and the next second, Lin Yi's continuous voice came from the other end:

"If you don't give me the finalized equipment plan, the technology launch plan, the equipment plan, and the delivery schedule, I'll have someone kill you."

"If you don't come up with a plan now, are you going to put on an impromptu performance?"

"Sing a rap song and dance in front of the audience?"

"What a mess!"

As the words were repeated, Lei Jun quickly moved the phone away from his ear. After a while, when he heard no more sound coming from the receiver, he put it back to his ear.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, it will take 5 days, at most 5 days! I will send someone to deliver all the plans you requested to you."

"I'll have to trouble you then!"

"You said it yourself, five days. I didn't force you. If you can't produce anything after five days, I'll show you what cruelty is." With those words, Lin Yi hung up the phone.

Lei Jun, who was holding the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and sat back down on the sofa. After a few seconds, he felt uncomfortable sitting and simply lay down on the sofa. Just as he settled down, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Lin Bin walked in carrying a document.

"These are a few venues I've selected. Take a look and see which one suits you best."

"If I think it's suitable, I'll book the venue in advance, make the necessary changes, and do two rehearsals."

"Don't make a fool of yourself in front of the camera, or you'll be in big trouble."

As they spoke, the venue information fell into Lei Jun's hands. After looking through it, he chose a venue that looked technologically advanced and industrial—the 798 Art Zone.
"Let's settle on this spot."

"Keep busy these next few days. Contact an advertising company and shoot a few sets of commercials."

"In addition to advertising, we also need to expand our servers so that our website can accommodate more customers."

"Also, stocking up on inventory is of paramount importance."

"When we make our first appearance, we will definitely receive many orders from customers. Our reputation will begin to grow as soon as those customers receive their goods, so we must pay close attention to the delivery time."

"Contact Chief Engineer Mao at Xiaomi Heavy Industry and arrange the relevant work..."

"Stop! Stop it! Shut your mouth!" Seeing that Lei Jun was about to ramble on about assigning tasks, Lin Bin quickly raised his hand to interrupt him:

"These tasks have all been assigned to me, so what are you going to do?"

"Me?" Lei Jun pointed to himself, winked at Lin Bin, and then pointed to the computer next to him:
"Of course I need to write a speech to prepare for the press conference."

"Besides publishing articles, I also need to promote online. You don't think I'm just a boss who doesn't do anything, do you?"

"Yes!" Lin Bin nodded without hesitation, then shrugged and turned to leave: "I'll leave the advertising and server expansion to others, but I'll personally handle the inventory preparation. I'll feel more at ease if I do it myself."

With a thud, Lin Bin closed the door. Lei Jun got up from the sofa, walked to the computer, sat down, opened the browser, logged into several forums with a secondary account, and started posting like crazy.

As a newbie, I'd like to ask you experienced users: if a smartphone meets your basic needs and is also very cheap, would you choose to buy it?

Guys, I'm genuinely asking for your opinion: if someone were to hold a phone launch event, would you be more interested in learning about the phone's performance, or something else entirely?

[Can someone explain this to me? If someone's accent isn't very standard but they want to hold a press conference, should they practice their Mandarin or their lines?]

[Is there anyone who can help me? It's almost time to leave work, and my boss has assigned me the task of writing a press conference script. I'm so annoyed, I don't know how to write it!]

Help! What should I wear to a press conference to make a striking impression?

After spending several hours posting dozens of messages, Lei Jun clicked on the first post and started reading the comments section.

"The price is cheap? Are you kidding me? The screen, battery, motherboard, software, and all those basic functions of a smartphone cost money. Besides, these technologies are still in their infancy. If we can't even recoup the initial investment, who will continue to develop them?"

"Brother, I know what you're thinking. I have connections here. I have MediaTek's complete turnkey projects. They've now evolved into the smartphone sector. As long as you pay, you can get a one-stop service from chip design to the final phone design. They can even help with debugging production equipment. All you have to do is pay."

"If it's a real smartphone that can meet my daily needs and isn't too expensive, then I would definitely buy it. But all of this is on the premise that the information is true and valid. I don't want it to be like this: I just bought it today, the battery is broken the next day, the screen is broken the third day, and the phone is cracked the fourth day. If that happens, I really will crack it!"

"I'll definitely buy it as long as it meets my needs, but the requirements must be met..."
