Chapter 717 Are You Going to Chase Me Away?

The following two days, Su Yehao was running around.

He sought help from experts at Sweet Fish Entertainment to compose and write songs, and met with representatives from mainland operators to negotiate the details of bulk purchases of Black Diamond phones.

He also personally went to the Sand River Golf Club to take Yin Liuli on a tour, so she could move to Pengcheng for a while after it was tidied up.

Besides these, there were many other miscellaneous matters.

For example, an expert who had been brought in from the United States with great difficulty was intercepted by TSMC halfway, clearly trying to hinder Su Yehao's wafer foundry business.

How could Su Yehao be a pushover? If he swallowed this, he would be bullied again and again in the future.

As the old saying goes,

A good defense is a strong offense.

That day, he released news that he was prepared to intervene in an acquisition initiated by TSMC, saying that he was willing to add 10% to TSMC's offer, hoping that the other party would reconsider who to cooperate with.

The company that TSMC was preparing to acquire this time mainly engaged in packaging and testing work downstream of the chip manufacturing industry, with a total valuation of just over two hundred million US dollars.

Su Yehao could indeed use the other party's technology, and he could also prevent TSMC from further completing the integration of the industrial chain. It was clearly revenge.

Immediately afterwards,

ATV took the lead in breaking the news that TSMC was trying to block the development of the semiconductor industry in Hong Kong.

Then, an American think tank expressed its view that the island's trade protection methods violated the open and fair international business order.

The actual impact wasn't much, just a way to disgust the other party.

Su Yehao had long known and guessed that these companies would not allow him to grow stronger. Choosing to show his fist at the right time could effectively prevent competitors from becoming more aggressive.

In the past, when he was doing finance and internet business, there were fewer conflicts with others. Now that he is involved in physical manufacturing, it is inevitable that friction will occur.

For example, since Huang钻 (Yellow Diamond) Computers has been expanding step by step, Lenovo's market share has declined by about 7%. Its sales revenue in the first half of this year was lower than expected, and its gross profit margin and net profit margin have also decreased.

In addition, with the bursting of the Nasdaq bubble, its stock price has fallen by about 35% this year. Compared with other foreign brands, Huang钻 Computers has had the greatest impact on it.

Therefore, they have tried more than once to win over allies to jointly encircle and suppress Huang钻 Computers.

If they had the chance, those Lenovo shareholders would probably want to grind Su Yehao's bones to ashes...

On the first day of October,

Black Diamond phones were launched as scheduled, not only using the platforms of telecommunications companies but also being sold in Suning Appliance stores.

In the initial stage, they only planned to adopt a direct sales model. It would not be too late to talk about franchising after the brand was established first. Considering cost control, there was no need to expand sales channels for the time being.

With China Unicom displaying posters of the "Black Diamond S1", it successfully attracted a group of users who wanted to try something new with its novel appearance design.

As of twelve noon, the number of activated phones connected to the network exceeded 28,000.

When the news reached Su Yehao, he was listening to the arrangement of "Little Dimples". After a brief consideration, he instructed:

"Most of the young people online now are the main force in purchasing mobile phones. Focus the publicity channels mainly on the Internet, control the quantity of goods released, and strive to create a situation of short supply as soon as possible. The mentality of consumers must be grasped. They often don't care about things they buy easily. The harder it is to buy, the easier it is to arouse their appetite."

"There are only less than 300,000 units in stock. More than 20,000 units were sold in half a day. If we control the shipping speed, wouldn't it be too little? Why don't we wait for this batch of goods to be sold out first, and then release the second batch later? It can still have the effect of whetting people's appetites."

It was Linda Yun who spoke. She was standing in front of Su Yehao reporting on her work.

Seeing that Su Yehao was wearing headphones, scribbling on the lyrics, and looking very tangled.

Linda Yun, who understood the whole story, couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion:

"Others only know that you have a strong romantic streak, but who would have thought that you would be so tired, even I think women are difficult to deal with, and you actually have so many girlfriends, writing four songs in a row, do you want me to make a soup to nourish your brain?"

"There's nothing I can do. It's the lifestyle I chose. I have to hold on even if I can't."

Su Yehao stretched out his hand, motioning for Linda Yun to sit down, and then said:

"It's okay to follow your suggestion. Let's sell this batch of phones first, and then hold back the next batch of phones. Wait for my notification before shipping. Also, Yin Liuli, do you want to go over and help her?"

"Hmm?"

"What I mean is, you've been by my side all year round, and I'm afraid it will delay your important life events. You haven't found a boyfriend until now. It just so happens that the assistant office has recruited a new person who is said to have an IQ of 168 and has taken the initiative to apply to be my secretary. Someone can take over your work."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, Linda Yun exploded on the spot like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, widened her eyes and said blankly:

"Could it be... you want to drive me away? Although my IQ is not so exaggerated, I'm not stupid, right? I do my work very seriously. That person is so smart, and only applies to be a secretary, it's hard to guarantee that they don't have ulterior motives. I am loyal to you, Ahao, with all my heart!"

"Didn't I say that you're just going to Pengcheng to assist Liuli? How can that be considered driving you away?"

Su Yehao didn't expect Linda Yun to have such a big reaction. He paused for a moment and added, "Of course, what kind of relationship do we have? This kind of thing must respect your opinion. It's just my personal thought. If you don't want to change jobs, then just pretend I didn't say it."

After he finished speaking, Linda Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said without hesitation:

"The job of managing a golf club sounds a bit interesting, but I don't understand business management at all. My current job is more suitable for me."

The boss is so lazy, he doesn't have much work every day, but the salary is quite good.

In addition to often tasting the delicacies of various restaurants, there are also opportunities to take private planes, stay in high-end hotels, and travel all over the world.

It is difficult to find such a good job with high pay, little work, and proximity to home, so Linda Yun would be stupid to easily choose to change jobs.

Although going to Pengcheng may mean a promotion and a raise, the corresponding increase in work pressure, and she would have to worry about how to improve performance, and only face customers all day long.

Linda Yun doesn't have much ambition in her career. Being relaxed like this now is, in her opinion, a heavenly job, so of course she doesn't want to leave.

Su Yehao was indeed just asking casually.

Usually, the specific business affairs are mainly handled by the assistant office. Linda Yun stays by his side to handle some daily chores and convey information. The requirements for her ability are not that high.

He didn't take it to heart, but Linda Yun didn't dare to take it lightly. She turned around and ran to inquire about news from Assistant Zhuang Wei, asking which hateful guy dared to covet her position...
