Chapter 756: Chu Min's Maternal Uncle
After Dragon Soaring Electronics Factory joined the competition, Liu Clan Group's attitude began to loosen. Thanks to Hu Haiquan's efforts, they eventually bought the mobile phone assembly and production technology and related equipment from them for fifty million.
At the same time, Liu Clan Group will also provide full-process quality inspection technology for the earlier production.
After the negotiations ended, Chen Yang did not directly announce the news; instead, he had Hu Haiquan go consult with the relevant officials in Deep City. He wanted to see if there was a possibility of building a large electronics factory locally.
If a factory could be built directly in Deep City, then the electronics factories in Goat City and Xingcheng could focus on mobile phone accessories.
As for Modu here, Chen Yang has not stopped investigating Dragon Soaring Electronics Factory. If possible, he plans to acquire the company wholly and then, at an appropriate time, relocate it entirely to the new electronics factory in Fujian Action District.
In the stock market aspect, Chen Yang had Corporate Secretary Luo Xue reissue an announcement on the official website of Old Hundred Farmers' Products Trading Company, stating that the company currently has no plans to engage in mobile phone-related business.
After the announcement was released, the public's stock price was still rising, but it no longer had the previous period's continuous limit-up frenzy. This result is something Chen Yang is happy to see.
After the matter was settled, Chen Yang's work focus shifted back to the game Extreme Speed Racing.
After the technical department's readjustment, the prop racing cars of all major brands were changed to the same data. However, this adjustment did not quell the anger of players and car merchants.
Because everyone could not accept that an ordinary Xiali car could actually race side by side on the track with famous cars like Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston Martin!
Chen Yang thought it over repeatedly and finally had Wang Lei implement a three-tier speed grading for the track: high, medium, and low. Ordinary cars can only race on the low-speed track, while high-end cars and dedicated racing cars can compete on the medium- and high-speed tracks.
To enhance the racing experience of luxury cars, Chen Yang also had the technical department restore the original car data. This would clearly showcase each brand's unique characteristics.
Besides that, Chen Yang also set a threshold for obtaining high-end prop racing cars. For example, players can only obtain medium- and low-speed racing cars of certain brands for free. High-speed racing cars only offer three trial opportunities; after the trial, they must be obtained through payment or in-game competition rewards.
On the car merchants' side, Chen Yang also reached a new agreement with them: for each related prop car sold, they will receive a five percent share.
Considering that the game needs another major overhaul, after discussing with Wang Lei, Chen Yang decided to delay the public test of Extreme Speed Racing by another month.
In the meantime, Chen Yang decided to give himself a few days off to keep company with Chu Min, who is staying at home awaiting childbirth.
What made him both laugh and cry was that Chu Min actually became obsessed with the Extreme Speed Racing game. She turned her study into a game room, teamed up with Liu Qing, and they had a blast playing.
"Husband, your game planning is truly boring, why change the tracks for no reason? My Xiali can now only race against Fujiwara Takumi's AE86!"
"This is my proposal. If we don't change the tracks, those branded car manufacturers could sue Three Stone Technology into bankruptcy." Chen Yang sighed, never expecting that making a game would be so difficult. Before the public test even started, he had already gone through two major crises.
Upon hearing that it was Chen Yang's idea, Chu Min's attitude changed immediately. "Husband, this proposal of yours is excellent. Although changing the track reduces some fun, it increases professionalism. After all, a Xiali is a Xiali; if it could be mentioned in the same breath as Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin, who would still spend a lot of money to buy a luxury car?"
Chen Yang deeply agreed. Looking at Chu Min's big belly, he said worriedly, "Wife, don't get too carried away with playing. If we give birth to a son who only knows how to play games, we'll have a headache in our next life."
Chu Min gave Chen Yang a sideways glance, full of resentment, and said, "I'm stuck at home all day; besides watching TV, I just look at the Huangpu River, and I'm bored stiff. If I don't find some new fun, I'll really be bored to death."
Chen Yang laughed and said to her, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a yacht? You can go out to sea and have fun!"
Chu Min pointed at her own big belly, gave Chen Yang an angry stare, and said, "I've been vomiting terribly at home already; do you really want to go out to sea and suffer even more? You haven't fallen for some other flower girl and want to replace me soon, have you?"
Chen Yang immediately felt his head swell, and he wryly said, "Heaven and earth, my conscience! Right now, my mind is filled only with work. Besides you, I can't tolerate any other woman."
Chu Min was satisfied with Chen Yang's attitude, yet she still let out a soft snort of displeasure. Only after Chen Yang coaxed her for a while did she turn off the computer and slowly walk out of the study.
After eating some cherries washed by Aunt Yun in the living room, Chu Min suddenly thought of something and said to Chen Yang, "Husband, I have a maternal uncle who's down on his luck in Hang City; he just came to Modu a couple of days ago. My mother's idea is to have him train under you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's head immediately swelled again. This is like having to arrange for an ancestor to be by his side!
He immediately assumed a solemn posture and told Chu Min, "Wife, if your uncle just wants to get by, I can casually arrange an idle position to support him—that's fine; we're not short of money. But if he tries to act recklessly under my banner, harming the company's interests, then even if it's your mother's wish, I cannot agree."
Chu Min saw that Chen Yang had misunderstood, and she retorted angrily, "Do you think all the Wangs are just drunkards and gluttons? My uncle is actually a computer science PhD who just returned from studying abroad in Beautiful Country. If it weren't to avoid the arranged marriage set up by our family, he might not have looked at your company at all."
Chen Yang laughed embarrassedly. This isn't really his fault; given Chu Min's earlier tone, it's hard not to think the wrong way. "Husband, since your uncle specializes in computer science, have him go assist Luo Hao at the Xingcheng headquarters of the trading company. Once he's fully familiar with the e-commerce department's business, we'll transfer him back to Modu."
Chu Min had no objection to this, and she had Liu Qing fetch her uncle's personal information and give it to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang opened it and saw that her uncle was only thirty years old, which surprised him a bit.
You know, Chu Min's mother is already nearly sixty, while her uncle is only thirty. The age gap between them is not small at all.
"Wife, is your uncle too young?"
Chu Min smiled and said, "The Wang family is prosperous; my uncle isn't even the youngest. It's said that in the family there's another uncle who just started elementary school this year."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately understood the meaning. After all, their Chen Family Village also has a tradition of ranking by seniority. His seniority in the village is not small; some people older than him by a generation still have to call him uncle.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang decided to first go meet this uncle named Wang Qing Shu.
