"It's been a while," Wen Huaiyu said with a smile, "and your husband helped my family out so much. What's a few more drinks?"
Xu Qingxin pouted.
You have no idea how formidable this guy is.
Without drinking, it would take at least an hour.
If he drank too much.
It would take at least two hours, bare minimum?
That was a huge torture for her.
However.
Since Wen Huaiyu had put it that way.
She couldn't say anything more.
She'd just have to endure some suffering!
Worst case scenario, she'd bite.
------
The next day.
Chen Nan finally woke up at nine in the morning.
After washing up, he went to the dining room, where Xu Qingxin and Wen Huaiyu had already prepared breakfast.
Zhang Wei, unusually, hadn't woken up early to go to the company and was playing with his daughter.
Seeing Chen Nan come out.
He regained his shy demeanor. "Chen Nan, thank you so much for yesterday. I'm really grateful."
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly.
In fact, Orientals could already stand tall and proud in the West.
But...
With Zhang Wei's honest and kind nature, who wouldn't want to bully him a little?
"Let's eat first!" Wen Huaiyu said.
The few of them gathered around the dining table and started breakfast.
Wen Huaiyu suddenly said, "Chen Nan, Zhang Wei and I discussed it last night. We'll bring the battery technology back to China. Rather than benefiting foreign car companies, it's better to strengthen our country's new energy vehicles."
Chen Nan's eyes lit up. "If you have this idea, it would be like a shot in the arm for our country's new energy vehicles."
There were many car companies in China.
But when it came to traditional fuel vehicles, they simply couldn't compare to foreign brands.
After all, these brands had started earlier and had mature technology in the field of internal combustion engines.
But one thing was undeniable.
In the field of new energy vehicles.
China's technology was far more mature than that of foreign countries.
However.
Internal combustion engine car companies had money.
They were willing to invest heavily in battery technology research.
They were willing to invest heavily in research and development of vehicle infotainment systems.
Although China's new energy vehicle market share was large.
This gap was constantly narrowing.
But.
If Zhang Wei was willing to bring his battery technology back to China, this gap would inevitably widen again.
At that time.
China's new energy vehicles would surely become mainstream!
Chen Nan asked while eating, "Do you have any car companies in mind?"
Zhang Wei shook his head. "I'd really like to cooperate with Huawei Group."
"I've seen the cars they make. Although they're not the strongest among Chinese new energy car companies."
"But Huawei's vehicle infotainment system is the best and has the most potential."
"However."
"Huawei, in..."
"Yes."
"For new energy vehicles to truly rise, two functions are indispensable."
"Battery life."
"Secondly, autonomous driving capabilities."
"Neither can be missing."
"Although many new energy vehicles currently have L3 assisted driving functions, they are only assisted driving and cannot achieve true autonomous driving."
"Although Huawei's independently developed vehicle infotainment system is strong, the restrictions on 5G chips have greatly limited the vehicle's algorithms."
Chen Nan nodded slightly and then said, "If I remember correctly, the 5G chips Huawei uses are provided by Qualcomm, right?"
Zhang Wei: "Mm."
"I'll make a call," Chen Nan said, directly dialing Rockefeller Claude. Soon, Claude's respectful voice came from the other end: "Good morning, Mr. Chen. Are you satisfied with the outcome of last night's matter?"
Just as Chen Nan was about to speak.
The host's voice came from the living room TV.
Upon hearing the news of Will Arnold's early resignation.
Zhang Wei and his wife's scalps tingled.
A layer of goosebumps instantly rose on their skin.
They hadn't expected that Will Arnold's visit to apologize last night was just the beginning.
The real punishment was forcing him to resign early.
For a moment.
They felt an intense curiosity towards the person on the other end of the phone.
"I naturally trust Mr. Claude's handling of matters, but I'm not calling you about last night's incident," Chen Nan said. "I wanted to ask if you have any connections with Qualcomm?"
Rockefeller Claude said respectfully, "To be honest, Mr. Chen, the Rockefeller family owns seventy percent of Qualcomm's shares."
Zhang Wei and his wife gasped.
The Rockefeller family?
Could it be the legendary hidden consortium that controlled America's economy?
That family actually existed.
Chen Nan also stated his idea: "I hope Qualcomm can continue to cooperate with Huawei. Do you think this will be difficult?"
Claude said, "Qualcomm's termination of cooperation with Huawei was at the behest of the Holy See. Although the Rockefeller family can resume cooperation with Huawei, it will cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups."
Chen Nan laughed, "If we eliminate the Holy See, wouldn't everything be resolved?"
"Yes." Claude also smiled.
At this moment.
He finally understood the ambition of this Eastern man.
He didn't mind going crazy with him.
"I'll handle the Holy See," Chen Nan said. "As for the cooperation with Huawei Group, have Qualcomm draft a proposal first. Then I'll personally negotiate with Huawei, and you definitely won't be at a disadvantage."
He and Rockefeller Claude were on equal footing.
Therefore.
Cooperation was naturally a matter of fairness.
Even though he was an Easterner, he had to consider the other party's interests.
At least he wouldn't be spoken ill of behind his back!
This was Chen Nan's principle as a person.
Claude said respectfully, "Alright, Mr. Chen. I'll have someone draft the contract right away."
Then Chen Nan hung up the phone.
He looked at Zhang Wei, who was stunned, and smiled, "You can now cooperate with Huawei with confidence."
Zhang Wei snapped out of his shock and said excitedly, "I'll toast you with soy milk instead of wine."
"Come!"
------
After breakfast.
Chen Nan and Xu Qingxin bid farewell to Zhang Wei and his wife.
They had already agreed to meet again when they returned to China.
They would definitely have a good drink then.
Chen Nan drove, taking Xu Qingxin west.
His mood was exceptionally pleasant.
At three in the afternoon.
They arrived at a no-man's-land.
There was a large lake ahead.
The lake water was clear, like a giant mirror.
It was breathtaking.
Xu Qingxin asked Chen Nan to stop the car so she could take photos.
Chen Nan disliked taking landscape photos.
Because he wasn't good at it.
But he couldn't resist Xu Qingxin's pleas.
And just as they were taking pictures.
The originally clear sky.
Suddenly turned dark and gloomy.
A strong wind began to blow.
Making the previously calm lake churn as if boiling.
"Why did the weather change so suddenly?" Xu Qingxin looked unhappy.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the sorcerers from the Western cultivation world coming to kill us, right?" Chen Nan looked up at the sky.
At this moment.
Accompanied by a cold voice, Thomas Yale descended slowly from the sky. "Since you knew I would come, why did you drive towards Los Angeles?"
"Are you not afraid of death?"
