Chapter 2488

Just when Zhou Andong was holding the meeting, an Audi 100, a Santana, and a white van stopped slowly on the side of the road not far from the main gate of the Woolen Mill.

Sitting in the Audi was Sun Baocun. His secretary, Cao Zhengyuan, was sitting in the passenger seat, his body leaning slightly toward the back, and said to Sun Baocun sitting in the back seat: "Secretary, many people have gathered in front of the main gate of the Woolen Mill. I don't know what happened, but our car can't get in."

Sun Baocun was sitting upright in the back seat, holding a newspaper in his hand, reading it intently. Hearing Cao Zhengyuan's words, he didn't even raise his head, just said faintly: "Go and see what's going on."

"Okay!" Cao Zhengyuan responded, then pushed the car door and got out, walking quickly toward the main gate of the Woolen Mill.

In fact, whether it was Sun Baocun, his secretary Cao Zhengyuan, or the people in the van behind, they all knew what was happening at the main gate of the Woolen Mill. But the script had already been written, and as actors with professional ethics, they naturally had to act according to the script.

Because this stage today was very large and there were many actors, the script could not be changed without authorization, so as not to reveal the truth. After all, in this world full of power and interests, a slight carelessness could lead to a total loss. Therefore, to ensure that this performance could proceed smoothly, they had to follow the script and play their respective roles well.

Sun Baocun still lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the newspaper in his hand. He was completely attracted by a piece of news in the newspaper. The headline was displayed in bold and enlarged fonts, which was particularly eye-catching: "Famous Chinese Entrepreneur and Philanthropist, Yugong Group Chairman Zhou Andong Successfully Acquires Sony Entertainment".

When Sun Baocun finished reading the content, his face had become somewhat gloomy. The hand holding the newspaper unconsciously increased its strength, and with a crisp "slap," his thumb pierced the newspaper due to excessive force.

This sound made Sun Baocun come back to his senses. He realized his loss of composure and hurriedly loosened his hand. However, his mood was difficult to calm down, and he muttered in his mouth: "Zhou Andong......"

After a while, Sun Baocun slowly folded the newspaper and put it aside, then took a deep breath, as if wanting to calm his emotions. His mind kept flashing with Zhou Andong's name, as well as the various information brought by this news.

Zhou Andong acquired Sony Entertainment; this news would definitely shock the whole country. Although the news didn't specifically mention the amount of the acquisition, Sun Baocun knew very well in his heart that it was definitely an astronomical figure.

However, this news also reported another thing, which was about the ownership of the CVD patent. Previously, the VCD patent had always been considered to belong to Sony, but in this news, it was clearly pointed out that the VCD patent actually belonged to Xiangjiang Qiudongfang. This news was undoubtedly a heavy bomb for Sun Baocun.

And Xiangjiang Qiudongfang had already reached a patent licensing negotiation with Sony. Sony needed to pay a patent fee of as high as 16 US dollars for every VCD sold, which was undoubtedly an astonishing number and also showed the huge value of VCD patent technology.

And next, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang would also carry out patent claims against other VCD manufacturers such as Hitachi, Panasonic, and Siemens. This was the reason for Sun Baocun's shock and loss of composure. Initially, when VCD was just born, it caused a sensation across the country.

Major media reported it one after another, and the people of the country were full of expectations and excitement for this high-tech product. Because VCD was the only high-tech product in China that could emerge on the world stage, it brought unparalleled pride and glory to the entire country.

But later, because of the patent issue, many people cursed Zhou Andong for being a thief. As for why they didn't curse Old Meng and Old Sun, it was very simple: who let Zhou Andong have such a big name. And behind this, there had always been people secretly fueling the flames, wanting to ruin Zhou Andong's reputation.

It was just that Zhou Andong had established a charity fund, donated hope primary schools everywhere in the country, and donated so much money to the country. It could be said that his golden body had been formed, so it was impossible to ruin his reputation by smearing this little bit of black on him, so this matter didn't make much of a splash.

Now, this news completely exposed that international giants like Sony, Hitachi, and Panasonic were the real thieves. In the next period of time, it would definitely cause an uproar and become the focus of competition for major media reports across the country.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Andong's name would once again dominate the headlines of major media, attracting widespread attention from all walks of life, and naturally would also attract the attention of the above. Therefore, if he wanted to make a move against Zhou Andong today, he had to think carefully.

Because once he made a move here, the above might also take action accordingly. By that time, he probably wouldn't have left himself any room for maneuver, and the consequences would probably be unimaginable.

At this time, Cao Zhengyuan was observing in the crowd, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to a middle-aged man beside him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, what exactly happened? Why is it so lively here?"

The middle-aged man took the cigarette without being polite. Seeing that it was actually a Huazi, a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't it written on the banner?"

Cao Zhengyuan took out a lighter from his pocket again, and with a click, the flame shot out. He skillfully brought the lighter to the middle-aged man and lit his cigarette. Then, he also lit a cigarette himself, and then said with a smile.

"I saw it, it's just that I just arrived here and don't know much about the specific situation."

"Then you really asked the right person!" The middle-aged man looked a bit excited. He pointed to the small stall opposite with the hand holding the cigarette, "I was eating breakfast there, and I saw the whole process of the whole thing clearly." After saying that, he told the story of the whole thing with great interest.

"These old cadres, really eating radishes and worrying about nothing, looking for trouble!" The middle-aged man sneered and shook his head: "Holding a pension, hugging grandchildren at home, playing chess, walking birds, how good that is. It's so hot today, not staying at home to cool off, but running here to toss, really full and supported."

"You can't say that." Cao Zhengyuan's face suddenly became serious: "The Woolen Mill has 40,000 employees, and Zhou Andong is the factory director, holding the power of the factory. If he is allowed to act recklessly like this and ruin the Woolen Mill, what should these 40,000 employees do?

Even if only half of them are dual-employee families, there are 20,000 families. If the Woolen Mill is really ruined by Zhou Andong, these 20,000 families will have to drink the northwest wind. By that time, it will not only cause a huge burden to society but also bring huge hidden dangers to social security.

Therefore, this matter must be strictly investigated. If Zhou Andong really has many problems, then he must not be condoned or accommodated, and he must be severely punished.

But if these so-called problems are just those old cadres talking nonsense and fabricating out of thin air, and are malicious slander against Zhou Andong, then they must not be let go easily, and they must be given a profound lesson."

The middle-aged man was stunned. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Cao Zhengyuan with full suspicion, and said with a smile: "Little brother, although what you said makes some sense, this kind of thing is fine to say on your mouth. What kind of person is Zhou Andong? How can you move him just because you say so?"

"Humph!" Cao Zhengyuan snorted coldly: "Whether he is Zhou Andong or Li Andong, or any other person, as long as he dares to violate party discipline and national law, he must be severely punished.

Only in this way can we return the Woolen Mill to a clean, honest, and upright environment, and let those 40,000 employees work with peace of mind in a fair, just, and black-curtain-free environment, creating benefits for the country and the people."
