"That woman is not worth mentioning. She just wanted to seduce my brother-in-law, and that Hao Jianguo is not a good person either, wanting to climb up using a woman. Humph!" Leng Zhimeng followed Boss Huang all the way and naturally knew what her brother-in-law had done, so she complained in annoyance.
"As for that Hu Jing, there doesn't seem to be any problem. She recently resigned from my brother-in-law, saying she wanted to pursue her own happiness and find someone to date. If she had something with my brother-in-law, she wouldn't do something like this!" Leng Zhimeng guessed. "But I see that my brother-in-law is very reluctant to let that woman go, and seems to be trying his best to keep her!"
"Humph, none of these women are good!" After listening, the mother-in-law made such a judgment, and then sighed, "Also, how are your two sisters and your brother-in-law doing? Are they still taking those measures? Otherwise, how could there be no news at all?"
"Mom, you can't ask me about this, I'm still a maiden!" Leng Zhimeng stuck out her tongue.
"Alas, Zhiren marrying your brother-in-law was just for a child, to bind us to your brother-in-law forever, right? But now, it's been over a year!" The mother-in-law sighed, looking dejected.
This was indeed understandable. She had spent three daughters on Huang He, but in the end, there were no grandchildren. This was a complete loss.
"You say, could it be that your third sister injured her body from practicing martial arts, and therefore has problems? I clearly remember that your third sister went into the spring water to practice in winter for this Rat God martial art. If she has cold uterus, it will be very difficult to conceive. And even if she conceives, it is very easy to miscarry."
"The most crucial thing is that Western medicine cannot detect this kind of thing at all. Otherwise, you can accompany your sister to see an old Chinese doctor later and let those experienced Chinese doctors check her pulse to see if there are really problems with her practice!" the mother-in-law said.
"No, you should go by yourself. If I go and say it, my sister will beat me to death!" Leng Zhimeng repeatedly refused, which greatly angered her mother-in-law. "I take care of your two younger sisters every day, and your third sister runs around the world. I rarely see her a few times a year, so how can I have time to take her to see an old Chinese doctor!"
"I'm telling you, if you don't take your sister with you, I'll solve the problem in a different way. It's no big deal if I sacrifice another daughter!" The mother-in-law said fiercely.
"No, Mom, I'm not like my two older sisters. I want to be an independent woman of the new era and not rely on my brother-in-law to live. I might not get married in my life. How can a husband be as fun as games!" Leng Zhimeng stuck out her tongue and then quickly escaped. Her mother-in-law was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Meanwhile, the mother-in-law's family was worried sick about Boss Huang's offspring, but Boss Huang had no such concerns. After all, Boss Huang was only 28 years old and did not have many expectations for children.
Moreover, with such mature technology, even if natural pregnancy was not possible, it would be easy to have a test-tube baby. There was no need to worry about children. So, after appeasing his two younger sisters-in-law, Boss Huang enthusiastically returned to work.
And his first job after returning to China was to host a farewell party... Boss Huang had just returned from the United States with his people, and then he held this party to send a group of people to the United States.
However, these people were not employees of Jiangnan Group, but members of the Jiangnan Council and the China Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance.

"Old Lei, long time no see!"
"Old Chen, I heard that your Oppo has reached third place in the country, and you've even beaten Samsung and Motorola. Amazing!"
"Not at all. I'm not as good as you, Old Lei. Last month's sales actually surpassed Nokia. You're definitely number one in China!"
"Alas, it's only this month, and I'm losing money to gain publicity. A mobile phone doesn't make any profit at all. It's just for sales!" Lei Jun and Chen Yongming had a pleasant conversation. This was their first meeting after half a year. The last time they met was at a regular meeting of the China Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance.
At this moment, as if history had accelerated, Lei Jun had already left Kingsoft and founded his own Xiaomi mobile phone. In less than a year, he had reached second place in the country in sales, second only to Nokia in China.
Chen Yongming's Oppo mobile phone followed closely behind, reaching third place in the country, also leaving Samsung and Motorola behind. It essentially replicated the situation of mobile phone manufacturers in later generations.
The core reason why these two achieved such results so many years in advance was naturally the price.
When the cheapest Nokia phone still sold for nearly 800 yuan, the lowest configuration Oppo phone had already dropped to 269 yuan, and Xiaomi was even more exaggerated. Their newly launched model, Xiaomi Fan, directly priced the phone at 199 yuan.
This price was even cheaper than the popular PHS phones on the market at the time, so it completely swept the entire market. In less than a year, they became second and third in the country.
However, it was only a matter of time before Nokia dropped to fourth place, because last month, Xiaomi had already surpassed Nokia in monthly sales.
As for why it fell to fourth place instead of third, it was because the fourth-ranked mobile phone brand in the country was Gionee. This brand's mobile phones did not compress prices to the extreme, but its design featuring large speakers and flashing lights unexpectedly became popular, forming brand influence. In just two months, they sold to fourth place in the country, and the profit was quite good.
This led to Xiaomi and Oppo now launching their own flashing light phones... By the way, many people might not understand what a flashing light phone is.
Simply put, it means installing a circle of colorful light strips on the border of the phone. When the phone receives a call or has an incoming call, or when the phone is in use, these flashing lights will continuously cycle, like the effect of a running lantern.
It's not that this kind of flashing light is vulgar. You can look at your computer case, mechanical keyboard, and mouse. Aren't they all more dazzling with flashing lights? Humans can never resist the temptation of flashing lights.
At this moment, the boss of Gionee mobile phone was also present. However, his relationship with Lei Jun and Chen Yongming was not very good. They had their own social circles, so the two sides just greeted each other with nods and that was it.
"It's a pity Old Liu didn't come!" Lei Jun said with regret. The Old Liu he was referring to was naturally his friend Liu Qiangdong, who had participated in the founding meeting together.
"Alas, Old Liu's JD phone failed, losing tens of millions in investment. A large group of people are looking for him to repay debts. His situation is very bad!" Chen Yongming sighed.
Unlike the flourishing careers of Lei Jun and Chen Yongming, Liu Qiangdong's situation was very bad. Although he had also entered the mobile phone industry and launched his own JD phone.
Unfortunately, Liu Qiangdong's ambitions were too high. He didn't want to start from the low-end like Chen Yongming and Lei Jun, and rely on price advantages to seize the market. He also wanted to make high-end phones, and even wanted to sell them at prices similar to Nokia and Motorola. The result was that the market did not recognize him at all. Within a year, his capital chain broke, and he disappeared to hide from his debtors, which made these two friends very regretful.
They felt that he might never have the chance to see Liu Qiangdong again in his life.
"By the way, how much effort are you going to invest in the United States this time?" Chen Yongming asked curiously.
"All of it!" Lei Jun said without hesitation. "I will hand over my affairs here to two vice presidents, and I will lead the company's elite team to the United States!"
"Ambitious, as expected of you, Lei Jun!" Chen Yongming praised.
"And you?" Lei Jun asked curiously.
"I've already sold Oppo!" Chen Yongming revealed a shocking piece of news. "I sold 40% of Oppo's equity for 2 billion yuan, and I plan to invest all of this 2 billion yuan. Even if it's a forest of steel, I will carve out a bloody path!"
"..." Lei Jun opened his mouth. It turned out that Chen Yongming was even crazier than himself. He was investing his all, while Chen Yongming was going all-in.
"Me too!" As the two were talking, a voice with a somewhat low tone said. The two were startled and turned their heads, then simultaneously showed surprised expressions and said, "Old Liu, you're here!"
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Liu Qiangdong quickly pulled his two friends, "I sneaked in. At least 10 people here are my creditors. If they catch me, I won't be able to leave here!"
"Old Liu, hiding like this is not a solution!" Lei Jun sighed. "How about this, I'll find a way to get some money for you to repay part of your debts, so you can come out and act openly and have a chance to turn things around!"
"No need, you are all going to the United States, so I won't hold you back!" Liu Qiangdong shook his head, then gritted his teeth and said, "However, I will definitely repay this money. When I return from the United States victorious, I will repay all the money I owe, with principal and interest!"
"You're also planning to go to the United States!" The two looked at Liu Qiangdong in surprise, and Liu Qiangdong nodded solemnly. "That's right. China is no longer a place where I can run a business normally. Only the US market can allow me to start over!"
