"Boss, let's not talk about it. Things have come to this. Just think more openly," the subordinate coaxed, his eyes darting away.
"What's wrong with you? Is it that difficult to tell me the background and identity of an ordinary young Chinese man?" Jiufu Yixiong questioned indignantly.
"Alright, boss. If you insist on asking, I can only tell you the truth. This Chen Feng's background and identity are very ordinary. He's just a general worker at the Hongfeng Electronics Factory. Later, he got by using his girlfriend, the boss's daughter. He's not the powerful figure with a terrifying background that you imagined." The subordinate said with a serious expression.
"Wait, are you saying that I was ruined by a very, very ordinary young Chinese man?" Jiufu Yixiong asked, disbelievingly.
"That's right, boss. Although I hate to believe it, facts speak louder than words," the subordinate replied solemnly.
"Damn it, are all Chinese people this abnormal now? An ordinary young man actually bankrupted a big boss from Japan? Even a fantasy story wouldn't dare to write something like this," Jiufu Yixiong lamented.
"Boss, you can't say that. Regardless, a big boss is always a big boss, and he wouldn't be easily bankrupted by someone. The reason you were bankrupted by Chen Feng only proves one thing: Chen Feng, this young man, appears ordinary but is actually not ordinary at all. He's exceptionally gifted. In Chinese parlance, it's 'appearances can be deceiving, and you can't measure the sea with a single bucket.' It's highly likely that Chen Feng is playing the wolf in sheep's clothing," the subordinate explained seriously.
"Damn it, I'm truly unlucky. I thought I could easily take over the Chinese electronics factory industry, but instead, I ran into a young man who was playing the wolf in sheep's clothing. Forget it, I'll admit defeat since I gambled. I'll commit seppuku." Jiufu Yixiong said with great sorrow.
"Boss, it's just bankruptcy. There's no need to go to such extremes as committing seppuku, is there?" the subordinate instinctively tried to dissuade him.
"If it were ordinary bankruptcy, I wouldn't need to go to such extremes. But the problem is, I didn't just borrow money from the bank, but also from loan sharks. You are Japanese, so you should know the terror of Japanese loan sharks. To describe it in a word, it's better to be dead than alive. Therefore, it's better to end it quickly than to suffer a prolonged agony. Committing seppuku is the best choice." With that, Jiufu Yixiong went to commit seppuku.
The subordinate paid no mind and left on his own. Employees' attitudes towards their bosses are simple: if they have money, he is the boss, and they can be his dogs. If they don't, they won't even spare a second glance, even if he commits suicide.
To be honest, judging from this incident, China today is truly not the China of the past. In the past, powerful countries could easily reap huge benefits from China by using a little force or intelligence. This is why, in the past, most powerful countries wanted to bully China. However, China today is developing rapidly, with a wealth of talent. Anyone who wants to unscrupulously exploit China will only end up like Jiufu Yixiong, dead and gone.
The news of Jiufu Yixiong's death reached Nie Xiaosu's ears immediately, and Nie Xiaosu was full of admiration. This time, she had to make Chen Feng reveal his true identity. The Japanese electronics magnate Jiufu Yixiong was so easily brought down by Chen Feng. How could Chen Feng be an ordinary young man?
"Chen Feng, how much longer do you plan to hide your true identity?" Nie Xiaosu asked directly.
"Miss Nie, is my true identity really that important?" Chen Feng asked Nie Xiaosu back. This time, with the death of Jiufu Yixiong due to his actions, the matter was significant and could no longer be concealed.
"Of course, it's very important! Chen Feng, to be frank, I'm just curious about your identity, not trying to probe your background and force you to marry me. So, at this point, there's really no need for you to hide it anymore," Nie Xiaosu said earnestly.
"Alright, I know I can't hide it anymore. I'll be direct. I am the head of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District, Jiangcheng City, Sanshui Province." Chen Feng replied word for word.
"As expected." Nie Xiaosu breathed a sigh of relief. It was exactly as she had predicted; Chen Feng was indeed a government official. Furthermore, he wasn't just any ordinary official; judging by the title Chen Feng gave, he should be a mid-level official.
"Chen Feng, I just don't understand. You're a mid-level official with unlimited potential in your career. Why are you working in an electronics factory?" Nie Xiaosu asked, puzzled.
"Miss Nie, our relationship is unusual, so I won't hide anything. To be direct, I came to the electronics factory this time to understand the economic development model of your Sanhai Province. The development model of Sanshui Province, an inland province, is too extreme, focusing only on developing the provincial capital. This model is destined to fail, so I came to your Sanhai Province to learn." Chen Feng explained everything.
"Chen Feng, you are truly impressive with such a high-level perspective. To be honest, I know people from Sanshui Province, and most of them are infatuated with the provincial capital's development strategy, deifying it. You are outstanding in thinking of the flaws in the provincial capital's development strategy. This perspective is truly rare," Nie Xiaosu said excitedly.
"Miss Nie, you flatter me," Chen Feng smiled modestly.
"By the way, you've been in Sandong City for some time now. Are you going back soon?" Nie Xiaosu probed.
"Still a while," Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"What? Still a while? You're so smart, and you've been lurking in the Hongfeng Electronics Factory for so long. You should have grasped the secrets of Sanhai Province's economic development model. Why aren't you leaving?" Nie Xiaosu asked, her face flushing slightly. Nie Xiaosu misunderstood, thinking that Chen Feng was unwilling to leave the Hongfeng Electronics Factory because he couldn't bear to leave her.
"Miss Nie, I have indeed grasped many secrets of Sanhai Province's economic development model during my time lurking in the Hongfeng Electronics Factory. However, it's not enough. Changing a provincial capital's development strategy is not a trivial matter. You must achieve perfection in every aspect before you can replace the original provincial capital's development strategy with another strategy." Chen Feng explained truthfully.
"Then what constitutes grasping the secrets of development in all aspects?" Nie Xiaosu asked curiously.
"It's simple. If we can double the profit of the Hongfeng Electronics Factory together, it will fully demonstrate that I have grasped the secrets of your Sanhai Province's economic development model," Chen Feng stated calmly.
"Doubling the profit of the Hongfeng Electronics Factory? That might be a bit difficult. As you know, the electronics factory industry is not a high-tech industry. Since it's not a high-tech industry, the profits are not very high. With not very high profits, it's difficult to double them in a short period," Nie Xiaosu said honestly.
"Making money is inherently difficult. However, it's okay. I've already thought of a good method that can double the profit of the Hongfeng Electronics Factory in a short time." Chen Feng said confidently.
"What method?" Nie Xiaosu asked excitedly.
"Currently, there is only one path for the Hongfeng Electronics Factory, which is to introduce high-tech projects. The traditional electronics product orders will only yield increasingly lower profits," Chen Feng explained.
"Chen Feng, your idea is good. But the problem is, it's easier said than done. The words 'high-tech' are not that simple," Nie Xiaosu sighed.
"We can cooperate with chip companies in Mingshan District," Chen Feng said calmly.
"Oh my, how could I forget something so important? Your true identity is the head of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District. Moreover, Mingshan District's chip industry is not only second to none in China but also in the world. With you as the intermediary, Mingshan District's high-tech chip industry can definitely form a deep partnership with the Hongfeng Electronics Factory," Nie Xiaosu exclaimed excitedly.
"In theory, that's true. However, for Mingshan District's chip industry to truly cooperate deeply with the Hongfeng Electronics Factory, we must first solve a thorny problem..." Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
