Chapter 48: Little Overlord Eliminated

  Liu asked the Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade Department to transfer the $30 million learning machine order signed by Little Emperor to Chuyang Electronics Factory, and Yao Qiuyu and Wang Limin thought they had misheard.

  "This is a $300 million export quota! 300 million, not 30 million, this is the big fat meat that even their Guangdong light industry system cannot bear to give up!"

  "Director Liu! You can't be serious..." Yao Qiuyu couldn't help but protest, this money hadn't even warmed his hands yet and it was going to fly away?

  Liu raised his head and asked coldly: "What are you selling?"

  This sentence instantly shut everyone's mouth.

  Zhao Yongping was shocked, a wave of sadness flashed through his heart, followed by emotion! He felt sad for Xiao Ba Wang and sighed for Yang Yun. Fate is playing tricks on people!

  Huang Jianan and Shen Jun were like they had lost their souls, suddenly collapsing onto the chair, their eyes dull, their faces pale, unable to utter a single word, their mouths repeatedly muttering: "It's all over... it's all over..."

  Looking at the Beijing delegation, in the face of this 360-degree shocking reversal, Xiao Guoqing and Huang Beiyan were excitedly shaking all over, Duan Haisheng was shocked with his eyes almost popping out, while Yang Yunfeng remained calm and composed, as if everything was under control, as if $300 million wasn't a big deal.

  "No problem, Director Liu! I guarantee to cooperate with Director Yao to make this happen!" Xiang Guoqing burst out laughing, as if he had just received a windfall, how could he not be delighted?

  Huang Beiyang was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly: "Great, great! I'll go arrange it right away! Old Wang, didn't you show off that procurement list in front of everyone at noon? Take it out and hand it over to me quickly, haha!"

  No one cares about the loser's idea, this game is over, the Little Emperor Company has been eliminated, Game Over!

  The crowd dispersed in batches, Liu Shouzhang had to make a report to the capital, the capital delegation had to hold a private meeting for discussion, the Guangdong Foreign Trade Office officials left in anger, Zhao Yongping was silent, Huang Jianan hung his head in despair, Shen Jun was like a dead dog.

  The more you jump with joy, the higher you bounce, the more painful it is when you fall.

  Since we've already become opponents, let's fight fiercely and beat each other until one of us can't get up, until the other goes bankrupt and closes down! In this match, Yang Yun is the ultimate winner!

  ……

  ……

  The Canton Fair is not over yet, and the Little King has fallen. However, Red Sun has stood up. After the mediation of the Guangdong Provincial Government, the learning machine procurement merchants who had signed contracts with various countries agreed to change their investment and re-sign a procurement agreement with Red Sun Electronics Factory after on-site inspection the next day.

  After an emergency meeting, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Light Industry and the National Planning Commission jointly announced that the Little King Electronic Industrial Company immediately stopped all production activities. The Guangdong Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission sent a working group to enter the company, and all relevant responsible persons of the Little King Company were removed from their posts. The Party Group of Ruiying Group accepted investigation.

  A seemingly minor case of infringement has surprisingly alerted the provincial discipline inspection commission and implicated a deputy department-level cadre from a large state-owned enterprise. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is because they have coincided with a special period and touched a sore spot, causing the country to be so passive on the first day of the Canton Fair, and now the top wants to make an example out of someone.

  This decision shocked everyone, some were delighted and others worried. Duan Haisheng was of course overjoyed and burst out laughing, while Yang Yun furrowed his brow.

  As the factory director, Zhao Yongping is in trouble! If he goes to jail, it will affect Yang Yun's plan.

  When returning to the hotel for rest, Yang Yun and Duan Haisheng came to the restaurant and met Jiang Yang.

  Jiang Yang handed a document bag to Yang Yun and started gossiping without saying anything.

  "Director Yang! Old Duan! This is huge news!" Jiang Yang excitedly beamed with joy, rubbing his hands together: "This thing that happened today has spread throughout our industry, you guys must have seen how green those kids from Shenzhen are turning! Especially that Mao Da Xin, who used to rely on being the exclusive agent for Little Emperor learning machines and game cards, wouldn't even greet me when he saw me, acting all high and mighty like a big shot. Now look at him, haha! He's running around begging for help, can't even save himself!"

  Duan Haisheng followed with a smile and saw that Yang Yun seemed unhappy. He asked: "Mr. Yang, what's on your mind?"

  Yang Yun thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Old Jiang, I want to ask you for a favor. Arrange a few people to keep an eye on the Xiao Ba Wang factory over the next few days and see how Zhao Yongping and Shen Jun are doing. I think the problem lies with Shen Jun and his backer Huang Jianan, not with Factory Director Zhao Yongping. If you can help me out, help me protect Zhao Yongping, I'll owe you one."

  Jiang Yang widened his eyes: "Director Yang, Zhao Yongping is your arch-nemesis! Are you still going to protect him?"

  Yang Yun smiled bitterly: "He's not, Shen Jun is my arch-nemesis. Whether Shen Jun lives or dies, I don't care at all. He offended the higher-ups and made everyone lose face. He'll get his due from the law, whether it's a lawsuit, prison, or something else. But as for Old Zhao, I want to protect him. Ah, never mind, just help me this once, okay?"

  Jiang Yang and Duan Haisheng looked at each other in dismay, unable to comprehend why Yang Yun was doing this.

  Moreover, the discipline inspection team has already entered the factory, how can it be so easy to protect people? Even if Zhao Yongping is as clean as white paper, the lightest sentence will be removal from office and demotion, with an administrative penalty on his back, a crime of dereliction of duty will definitely not be escaped.

  Yang Yun looked at Duan Haisheng again and asked: "Old Duan, can you also help? If necessary, I can go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to explain the situation and prove Zhao Yongping's innocence."

  Duan Haisheng puffed on his cigarette, his eyes flickering uncertainly in the smoke: "Yang, you'd better think carefully."

  Yang Yun sighed: "I've thought it through. After all, we're all in the same circle, and he's my first benefactor, so I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him. First, let's get him out of this mess, then I'll talk to him about it. To be honest, everyone knows that they don't have such big problems. They just did the wrong thing at the wrong time."

  The phrase "a rabbit dies, a fox grieves" made all three of them fall silent. The smoker smoked, the drinker drank water, and it wasn't until quite some time later that Jiang Yang suddenly came to: "Hey, Director Yang, this package contains documents your company had someone bring to me."

  Yang Yun opened his briefcase, pulled out a stack of colored paper, the top one was folded up, unfolded it was more than half a meter long, looked at the content again, and his mood immediately improved, exclaimed: "So beautiful!"

  This is a propaganda painting of the vast starry sky, deep and profound starry sky, twinkling stars, blue planet, three spacecraft flying in formation towards the planet.

  "It's really... stunning!" Duan Haisheng and Jiang Yang were also stunned. This painting had a strong sense of three-dimensionality, with the words "Longteng Entertainment Game Company", "Salamander" and "Patis" clearly indicating that it was a promotional poster for a game!

  Yang Yun flipped through it again and found a few small inserts of illustrations in the briefcase, as well as several pages of written descriptions, even including English translations.

  "Interstellar Travel - Saloman Snake", author Liu Cixin!

  After waiting for so many days, Da Liu finally made his move!

  Yang Yun suppressed his excitement and quickly scanned it. Although there were only 20,000 words, the brilliance of the story had already exceeded Yang Yun's expectations.

  "Put down the manuscript and illustrations, Yang Yun ordered: 'Old Jiang, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard today. Immediately find someone to rush overnight and produce the promotional brochure for the Saloman snake.'"

  Jiang Yang was stunned: "So urgent? Moreover, I'm not familiar with the friends at the printing factory. I heard that we need to provide a printing license number and relevant documents, it's not like we can just pay for it to be printed."

  Yang Yun said, "Old Jiang, why are you so stubborn? Working overtime and spending a high price to find a private factory. I don't need many, dozens or hundreds of copies would be fine. With these exquisite illustrations, each purchasing merchant will receive one copy, if the effect is good, you're not afraid that Huang Beiyang won't come begging us? What documents, what edition numbers, once he tastes the sweetness, he'll run faster than anyone else!"

  Duan Haisheng nodded in agreement: "It's settled then. Old Jiang, quickly contact your friends, aren't you the one who said you're well-connected in Shenzhen? You must rush out tonight! We'll be waiting for you tomorrow!"

  Yang Yun said: "Old Jiang, isn't Mao Daxin going around asking for his father and mother everywhere? Just find him! That grandson, he cheated me back then. You call him over, I'll talk to him in person this time, let's see how he behaves!"
