#590 - Chapter 590 Backstabbing the Morgan Consortium again! Public intellectuals arrested? Even if
Xia Qingmo was very puzzled.
Her boyfriend had confessed everything from his previous life.
Having memories of his past life and knowing Li Gang's passion for photography was easy enough to understand.
The question was…
What did he need a photographer for?
And why specifically Li Gang?
Actually, for Chen Hao, any photographer would do.
However, Li Gang regarded him as a savior, and coupled with the reports from his previous life, Chen Hao knew something about his character.
Compared to other photographers, his loyalty would be higher, right?
“The current France is ‘good friends’ with us, and won’t smear China,” Chen Hao chuckled.
“Huh?! ”
Xia Qingmo was even more confused.
What did this have to do with France?
“If Agence France-Presse won’t film, we’ll film it ourselves,” Chen Hao's smile deepened.
“I… I don’t understand,”
“I’ll call you to watch when the time comes.”
Certain memories surfaced in Chen Hao's mind.
He was really looking forward to it!
As he was reminiscing, his phone rang.
Chen Hao looked at his wife: “I’m with Qingmo right now!”
“Sis?” Xia Qingmo called out.
“Do you want to chat?” Chen Hao handed her the phone.
“Wait a minute!”
Xia Qingyan’s tone was serious: “Let’s talk business first!”
“What’s wrong?” Chen Hao asked in astonishment.
Before ‘secluding himself’ at the Comprehensive Research Center to tackle the quantum satellite global internet project, he had instructed everyone not to contact him unless it was a major catastrophe—contacting him would be useless anyway, as he wouldn’t answer the phone.
It had been four months.
There certainly hadn't been any major catastrophes.
But!
Such a large Hanteng Capital was bound to have some problems.
“The LCD TV has been successfully developed,” Xia Qingyan said in a deep voice.
“That’s it?”
“Are you sure you want to mass-produce and launch it on the market?”
“Definitely!”
Chen Hao nodded without hesitation: “Sis, I understand what you mean, but there’s actually no danger.”
That’s right!
He had been laying out the plan from the beginning.
The auction of the LCD TV technology was not for ‘LCD TVs’ in the contract, but for ‘42-inch LCD TVs’.
His explanation was: The SP4 also used LCD screen technology, and if the size wasn't specified, how could the SP4 technology that had been sold earlier be used to produce products?
Later, they also developed plasma TVs.
The problem arose.
Companies that had acquired the related technology could clear their previous order ‘debts’ and then reap the benefits in the TV field.
China was also a target for exploitation!
Could Chen Hao tolerate being exploited by other countries?
Impossible!
After the brain-computer interface was developed, he handed over more LCD TV technology to Qiu Zhengfeng’s team for research and development.
Larger screens!
Higher definition!
Even incorporating basic AI technology, such as voice control.
With experience in developing 42-inch LCD TVs.
With a complete set of detailed technical data.
It had been several months, how could they not have developed it?
In addition, most of the production capacity of the previous four comprehensive industrial parks was allocated to smartphones, with the remainder going to Jiutian Electronics for the production of graphics cards, motherboards, and storage devices.
What about now?
The second batch of over twenty industrial parks had been completed.
Production capacity had increased several times over!
Now, it was enough to allocate some production capacity to several other products.
Including LCD TVs.
In fact, the development had been successful two months ago, but the new industrial parks hadn't been completed, and they couldn't allocate production capacity to produce TVs. Moreover, they couldn't contact Chen Hao to confirm whether to mass-produce, so it had been delayed until now.
Essentially, they were still worried about his safety.
The Morgan Consortium had bought the SP4, and they had just ‘finished paying off their debts’ and were preparing to reap the market…
Then the smartphone was launched!
The SP4 technology became scrap!
The 42-inch LCD TV technology was also auctioned off by Morgan.
They had bid against multiple groups and consortia, and had spent a fortune to acquire it.
Once Genesis launched something more advanced…
Wouldn't the Morgan Consortium go crazy?
Even.
Wouldn't they resort to dirty tricks?
“I’m just a front man.”
Chen Hao looked innocent: “I do whatever the higher-ups tell me to do, I can't control these things.”
“But… the principle is right, I’m just afraid they’ll be resentful and take it out on you!” Xia Qingyan was still worried.
“It’s okay.”
Chen Hao grinned: “I have ways to deal with it.”
His relationship with John was superficially close, and they even called each other brothers.
In the end, wasn't it just a matter of interests?
Whoever had the power to distribute profits had the upper hand.
Would Morgan be angry?
Of course, they would!
But Chen Hao had ways to prevent the situation from ultimately developing to the point where they would take it out on him.
By the way…
He could still make use of the Morgan Consortium!
“Sis, I’ll handle this, don’t worry—do you want to chat with Qingmo?”
“Okay…”
Suddenly!
Just as Chen Hao was about to hand the phone to his wife, another call came in.
Seeing the caller ID, he quickly said, “Sis! Let Qingmo call you, I have a call coming in.”
He hung up.
Pressing the answer button, his expression instantly changed: “What?!”
Breaking news!
The ‘public intellectual’ he had sent abroad, the one in charge of the England market, had been arrested today.
In the past, they had taken money to do things, saying bad things about China on behalf of North America, and they deserved to die.
But!
No matter what they were like before, even if they were now praising China because they were threatened by nanobots, they were still dogs raised by Chen Hao!
Moreover.
These people were indeed doing their jobs seriously, after all, there were agents watching them, and they had been providing feedback.
Especially the one in charge of the England market…
China's toilet water is drinkable.
China shut down the entire country to save a bird.
Chinese restaurants wash plates 7 times.
In short.
This guy used the funds provided by Chen Hao to acquire a broadcasting company in England, and then desperately wrote all kinds of essays.
He was best at writing these kinds of essays!
Originally, it was a second-tier broadcasting company, and the English authorities noticed him, but didn't plan to take action against him.
The company was small.
Its influence wasn't too great.
As a result…
A series of crazy operations came!
Chen Hao had said that as long as they were loyal and diligent, funding wouldn't be a problem.
That guy had a strong desire for power, and he was indeed quite intelligent.
Spending money wasn't a problem?
Okay!
He distributed newspapers and magazines directly for free.
He also held various events.
For example, street interview quizzes: whoever knew a certain news item they had written would receive a 1,000 yuan reward.
Newspapers and magazines were free, right?
As long as you read carefully and could answer in the street interview, you could directly receive the money!
Under a series of crazy operations, the circulation of the newspaper skyrocketed.
In just a few months, it surpassed The Times, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph, becoming the newspaper with the largest circulation in England.
Daily circulation exceeded 5 million copies!
What was the concept?
England had less than 60 million people.
The circulation of the newspaper was close to one-tenth of the total population!
Finally!
The authorities realized something was wrong.
They found an excuse to shut down the broadcasting company and arrested that guy—after all, he was the ‘mastermind’.
“Commander!”
General Wang said in a deep voice: “Of the few people we sent out, this guy did the best, should we… rescue him?”
“The dogs I release are not to be killed by England!” Chen Hao said coldly.
You have to look at the owner when you beat a dog.
Only he could beat his dogs!
“But… how do we rescue him?”
General Wang said helplessly.
