Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Chapter 173 Alexander's Ups and Downs

When Nannan saw Li Yu, she let go of the little boy's hand and ran towards Li Yu.

"dad!"

"Dad, let me introduce you. This is my deskmate, Wang Xiaohu! He said his dad is also an engineer at Longxing Factory and even participated in satellite launches!"

Wang Xiaohu, who was standing next to him, whispered, "Hello, Uncle Li."

Li Yu gritted her teeth and smiled as she vigorously rubbed Xiao Hu's head: "Your dad is really amazing. You should learn from your dad in the future, but you should play with female classmates less often."

Wang Xiaohu nodded, a little puzzled: "I understand, but why should I play with female classmates less often?"

Li Yu ruffled Wang Xiaohu's hair, which he had just straightened, into a mess again, and said, "Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking so much nonsense!"

After saying that, Li Yu picked up Nannan and got into the car.

On the way home, Nannan sat in the car, chattering about the funny things that happened at school, and then suddenly asked, "Daddy, why did you tell Wang Xiaohu to play with girls less?"

"Because it's for his own good; it's not good for him to be exposed to girls at such a young age."

Nannan nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Then I'll try to have less contact with girls in the future."

This left Li Yu speechless. He felt it was best to leave this matter to Bai Ling.

During dinner, Nannan suddenly asked, "Daddy, do you think our country is very powerful now?"

Why did Wang Xiaohu say that his father said there are still many countries abroad that are not friendly to us?

Li Yu looked at Nannan and said, "Our country is becoming stronger and stronger, but there are some countries that are afraid of us surpassing them, so they try to suppress us."

"What my father is doing now is to let these countries know that China is not easy to bully, and that we have the ability to protect our families and our country."

The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding, "Daddy, you're so great! I'll study hard so I can help you protect our country!"

Bai Ling smiled and put a piece of green vegetable on Nannan's plate: "Our Nannan is really ambitious, but the most important thing now is to study hard and grow up healthy."

After dinner, Li Yu put the two children to sleep, returned to his study, and turned on his encrypted computer.

On the screen, internal meeting minutes from the Western Communications Alliance are being synchronized in real time.

According to the information from the meeting, the other party has already begun to fall into a new trap.

Meanwhile, Rockefeller Sr. received a reply from the White House: "Mr. Rockefeller, our technical team has attempted to crack the encryption system of the base station chip, but without any progress."

"The technology behind these chips far exceeds our expectations and cannot be cracked in a short period of time."

The new week begins, and the opening bell on Wall Street has just rung.

The stock prices of Rockefeller family energy companies plummeted.

The red downward arrow, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly swallowed up the meager gains made the previous day by Rockefeller using reserve funds to prop up the market, causing the market value to evaporate by over 10 billion US dollars within an hour.

Inside the trading hall, retail investors frantically sold their stocks, and the stock prices on the screens kept hitting new lows, accompanied by desperate cries.

Alexander sat in front of the stock screen at the Alliance headquarters. "How could this be? Grandfather's reserves were just injected, why is it still falling?"

The representative sent by old Rockefeller looked at the falling stocks and said, "It's not retail investors panicking; there's a huge amount of anonymous capital shorting the market."

"Moreover, evidence of financial fraud by our energy companies suddenly surfaced in the news yesterday."

"Financial fraud? That's slander!" But when he saw the copy of the evidence handed to him by the representative, he was speechless.

The detailed accounts marked with internal numbers were so precise that they sent chills down his spine.

Alexander gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate! Find out who leaked it immediately!"

"We've already investigated, but we have no clue whatsoever," the representative said with a sigh.

When Rockefeller Sr. received the news at the castle, he threw his wine glass into the fireplace: "Is it Morgan or Citibank? They're trying to take advantage of our misfortune!"

In the command center of Longxing Factory, Lou Zhenhua was reporting with a real-time battle report: "Chief Engineer Li, all the short-selling funds have entered the market."

"Rockefeller Energy's stock price has fallen to an all-time low, rating agencies have downgraded it to junk status, and banks are preparing to freeze its assets."

Li Yu replied, "Very good. As for the shell company, delay the delivery time as planned, give them a batch of inferior parts first, so that their production line can barely operate and tie up the last bit of capital."

"clear!"

"In addition, news came from Zhou Qiming that the European customized model of the Western Communications Alliance has entered the trial production stage."

"They used inferior chips that we provided. During testing, they temporarily masked the compatibility issues using technical means, and they didn't notice anything unusual."

After placing the documents in his hand on the table, Li Yu said, "Once they mass-produce and put them on the market, we'll activate the chip's self-destruct program to paralyze all models."

"At that point, with operators demanding compensation, users seeking redress, and the funding chain breaking, the Western Communications Alliance will have no chance of recovery."

Li Huaide added, "Chief Engineer Li, there has also been a new breakthrough in the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The stability test of solid fuel has been passed, and the first test launch can be carried out next month."

A few days later, crowds thronged the large screen at the New York Stock Exchange, cheering and shouting.

The news that the Western Telecommunications Alliance's first 3G mobile phone had been officially launched has caused a sensation in the market.

Its stock price hit the daily limit up immediately upon opening, with a single-day increase of up to 42%, and its market value surged by tens of billions of US dollars overnight.

Retail investors crowded in front of the trading window, waving cash and frantically buying stocks.

Even the Rockefeller family oil company, whose stock price had been sluggish due to previous short selling, saw its share price rise by more than 20%, and the market was in a frenzy.

In the conference room at the headquarters of the Western Communications Union, champagne was sprayed and applause erupted.

Alexander, raising his glass with a long-lost jubilation, shouted to the new management and technical team, "We did it!"

"First-time sales exceeded 100,000 units, and European operators have placed additional orders until next year! Now, even Morgan Stanley and Citibank are proactively reaching out to us, wanting to cooperate!"

The representative sent by Rockefeller Sr. could not hide his excitement, nodding repeatedly: "Mr. Alexander, this turnaround was brilliantly executed!"

"As long as we stabilize the 3G market and seize the opportunity to advance new technologies, we can completely shake off Longteng and monopolize the global communications industry!"

Alexander was in high spirits, having long forgotten about the previous supply chain crisis and base station vulnerabilities.

He believed that as long as he had the core technology, he could make great strides forward, and the previous difficulties were just minor episodes on the road to success.
