Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 211 Zhao Ruilong, please keep a low profile? I, Wei Yun, don't believe MP3s won't

Lu Yike's expression was serious and her tone stern.

This left Zhao Ruilong somewhat puzzled.

"No way?"

"You, who have always been fearless and unafraid of power, actually have moments of fear?"

Lu Yike glared and said, "I'm not afraid of anyone, but I'm afraid they'll deal with you!"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed dismissively, "All the advice I gave, all the money I invested, all the projects I undertook, was for the purpose of helping my dad improve, wasn't it?"

"If it's just about making money, why should I go through all that trouble? Wouldn't it be better to invest those 100 billion US dollars in stocks, futures, and bonds?"

"Or I could just speculate on land and houses, or even just deposit my money in the bank and earn interest. The risk is low and I can make a lot of money. It's not tiring at all. Why would I want to make things difficult for myself?"

"Besides, do you think everyone else is blind to how hard my father and I are working? It's not just my dad Zhao Lichun who wants to improve, and it's not just me Zhao Ruilong who wants to be the crown prince. What's the point of punishing me?"

Lu Yike then said:

"Don't you think your dad has a really good chance right now?"

"You are young and have a good track record. With your promotion and support, the probability of Handong developing a high-quality economy is extremely high."

“Other competitors at the same level, even if they want to learn from and emulate you, even if their IQ and brains are no less than your father's, they don't have a strategist and a money god like you, who can both offer advice and spend money like crazy!”

"Uh……"

Zhao Ruilong fell silent.

Before he transmigrated, he was a hardworking businessman.

After transmigrating, he immediately became a member of a powerful and wealthy family.

Therefore, I have never spent a single day within the system.

Lu Yike is different.

Her father, Lu Changsheng, was a general, and her mother, Wu Xinyi, was a judge.

Her uncle-in-law, Gao Yuliang, was not only a professor of political science and law in Handong, but is now the top official in Luzhou City.

She herself worked for many years in the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Handong.

Therefore, in terms of institutional experience and political acumen, Zhao Ruilong is clearly far inferior to Lu Yike.

Think carefully about what she just said.

That makes a lot of sense.

Handong was originally a strong economic province in China, with its GDP ranking among the top for many years.

Zhao Lichun, the father who has worked in Handong for many years, deserves much credit for achieving such results.

Now, with its own promotion and support, and with a 'generous reward' of over 100 billion US dollars.

Handong Province is making great strides in developing a high-quality economy and integrating military and civilian sectors.

Extensive engineering construction, project investment, scientific and technological research and development, and product sales have brought about a large number of new jobs and fiscal revenues, allowing GDP growth to continue to rank first in the country...

If this trend continues...

During my father's first five-year term, Handong Province will definitely surpass Dongguang Province and become the number one economic province in the Dragon Kingdom.

With such solid achievements, why worry about not being able to go further?

Once you take another step forward, you'll still be young, energetic, and willing to fight.

Going further is not impossible.

Within the system, those with keen insight and a good sense of opportunity could see the father's rapid rise even before Handong's economy became the best in the country.

After all, compared to the top leaders of other provinces, who else can be as outstanding as my father, Zhao Lichun?

And just as Lu Yike said.

Even if there are people who are not much different in age and whose abilities are not significantly different.

However, among their children and relatives, there was clearly no one with such a powerful support as himself.

Not only is he a time traveler, but he can also offer many good suggestions on governing the country, helping people avoid many detours and mistakes, and better benefiting the people.

They also have a system to assist them, advanced technology that can be applied to high-tech development, and through their superior technology, they can continuously generate funds for investment.

Putting aside everything else, the more than 100 billion US dollars already invested in Handong Province is unmatched.

In total, this is a real investment of trillions of yuan!

Which province could attract such a large sum of 'international investment'?

Against the backdrop of this era of competing on economic growth and development.

Attracting hundreds of millions of US dollars in international investment is already a remarkable achievement.

But in Handong...

What's a few hundred million US dollars?

They have already invested tens of billions of US dollars in chip research and development alone.

Not to mention the many particularly capital-intensive industries such as microelectronics, new materials, large aircraft, and new energy.

With so much money invested, a large number of high-tech companies have emerged.

From a certain perspective.

Doesn't this amount to forming a huge high-tech interest group?

Once a vested interest group is formed, it will inevitably provide strong support for my father, Zhao Lichun...

this moment.

Zhao Ruilong suddenly realized that Zhao Lichun's progress was indeed quite significant.

It will inevitably arouse envy and make people uneasy.

His classmates were afraid he would advance and take their spots.

Those who are more senior to him are afraid that he will advance and take their positions.

It's like climbing a mountain.

The higher you climb, the fewer spots there are.

Those below were desperately trying to get up.

Those in power certainly didn't want to be demoted easily.

Ever since.

There will be cliques and factions, and there will be infighting...

It's no surprise that my father, Zhao Lichun, whose progress has been too rapid, has become the target of public criticism.

Just like in the original drama.

From the moment Zhao Lichun lost the struggle and was demoted in name only to a nominal position, the Zhao family's demise was already on the countdown.

Afterwards, Tian Guofu was parachuted into Handong to reorganize the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Despite being a strong contender, Gao Yuliang was not successfully recommended by Zhao Lichun to succeed him.

The top leader of Handong is Sha Ruijin, who was parachuted in...

This is tantamount to starting an annihilation campaign.

As for Sha Ruijin's transfer of Hou Liangping to Handong, he raised the banner of anti-corruption and used the Dafeng Factory incident as a starting point.

This marked the beginning of the annihilation campaign, and the destruction of the Zhao family was not far off.

"Hey, what are you thinking about, not moving at all?"

Lu Yike waved her hand in front of Zhao Ruilong's eyes.

"I was thinking, this can't be kept quiet, can it?"

"Everyone can see that my dad is so hardworking and tries every means to improve the economic development of Handong. It's not just about being dutiful and doing his best to make a name for himself in history, but also about wanting to make progress."

"As for the others, aren't they working diligently and conscientiously in their respective jurisdictions, also striving for advancement? Once they reach this level, would they just want to coast along, hoping for a peaceful retirement?"

Faced with Zhao Ruilong's question, Lu Yike let out a soft sigh.

"You're right."

"Let alone those at your father's level, even those who have just entered the system want to advance."

"What I mean is actually very simple: there's nothing wrong with striving for improvement, but you and your son are already famous enough, so don't be too high-profile anymore."

"Just like high school seniors who study hard to get into a good university, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you already have good grades, people will envy you enough, so don't go out and be high-profile."

"For example, even if their grades are good, they are too humble and say that they are not good enough, or they look down on those with poor grades and make a big boast that they will definitely get into a prestigious university."

Zhao Ruilong was speechless.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

“I just wanted my dad to continue to improve, but I didn’t say that I had to become the crown prince.”

Lu Yike gave a soft "hmm".

"Alright, that's all I'll say for now. Just wanted to give you a heads-up."

"Speak less and do more, otherwise you'll attract a lot of trouble."

Zhao Ruilong chuckled awkwardly.

"Yes, Prosecutor Lu!"

Thank you for your kind guidance!

Lu Yike pouted and glared.

"Stop with your smooth talk, what...what are you going to do?"

Didn't you tell me to talk less and do more?

"I'm telling you to do more work! Oh dear, we should head to the airport now, stop messing around!"

"It's still early to go to the airport; Director Wu hasn't even knocked on the door yet!"

"But I really can't, please."

……

at the same time.

Inside the private room downstairs.

After wolfing down his food, Wei Yun was finally full.

He let out a loud burp and took the cigarette Zhang Shuhan offered.

"Well, it's comfortable!"

Wei Jun let out a long sigh of smoke and leaned back lazily in his chair.

He felt relieved, but Zhang Shuhan was a little worried.

"We've secured export rights for our MP3 players, but how do we make them a hit overseas?"

"If a product is a hot seller in China and demand exceeds supply, but its sales are dismal when exported abroad, wouldn't that be a joke?"

Wei Yun scoffed dismissively, "Old Zhang, you're just worrying unnecessarily!"

"As long as you're willing to invest in advertising and marketing, how can a good product go unsold?"

As she spoke, Wei Yun took out her Huilong MP3 player and tossed it to Zhang Shuhan.

"If you don't have confidence in this product, then give it a try."

"I dare say that within ten minutes you will be full of confidence."

Zhang Shuhan put down Wei Yun's MP3 player.

“I have one at home, and more than one.”

“When it was first launched, my daughter bought several units and insisted that I try them out.”

"After trying it, I found it to be quite good in all aspects. It is so much more advanced than the old cassette recorders and can be described as a groundbreaking product."

Wei Yun asked with a sneer, "Then why are you worried that it won't sell well overseas?"

"I'm not worried because it was made in our Dragon Country."

Zhang Shuhan picked up his MP3 player and said with a melancholy expression:

"Where in our country have we ever developed world-class industrial products before?"

"The things we export that sell well abroad are mostly clothes, shoes, toys, and crude steel."

"It doesn't have much technological content; it just relies on being cheap and easy to use. Nowadays, exporting an advanced and easy-to-use electronic product is quite expensive, so I'm a little worried that foreigners won't be interested."

Wei Yun stopped smiling.

He glanced at Zhang Shuhan, then at the MP3 player in his hand.

Zhang Shuhan's words made Wei Yun suddenly realize that this was indeed a problem worth paying attention to.

He lived in the United States for many years because of studying and working.

He was well aware, of course, that due to various factors, the hardworking, kind, and honest Chinese people were seen as poor, ignorant, treacherous, and opportunistic by Westerners.

Even though China continues to open up and its economy is developing better and better, the arrogance and prejudice that have been formed over many years cannot be easily changed.

Wei Yun has faced a lot of discrimination in the United States over the years.

He was the son of a top-ranking noble family, yet he was subjected to all sorts of bullying and insults.

This is one of the reasons that led him to return to China.

Of course, the main reason was that his family felt that he had completed his studies abroad and should return to enter the system, taking advantage of his father's high position and power so that he could rise rapidly in rank.

"I've used MP3 players from the US before, but compared to Mr. Zhao's, they're utter garbage!"

"It's like comparing an old, worn-out truck to a stylish supercar; the difference is just too great."

"Whether it's size, appearance, materials, craftsmanship, or functional interface and performance parameters, they are not in the same league."

Changing the subject, Wei Yun frowned and said:

"But it's really not easy to get those high-and-mighty foreigners to spend a few hundred dollars to buy an electronic product made in China."

"Besides competitors, there will definitely be many busybodies who will question the product and service, and may even accuse you of all sorts of unfounded crimes, which will affect sales."

Zhang Shuhan sighed, "That's right. We haven't officially joined the WTO yet and haven't obtained the market status we deserve. It's very possible that we will be slandered, ostracized, and suppressed."

Wei Yun took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Looking at the exquisitely crafted and stylish Huilong MP3 player, I suddenly smiled coldly.

"Oh, that's right!"

"Since those foreigners don't believe that our Dragon Country can develop world-class electronic products, then let's put on a disguise!"

"Wouldn't it be easier to sell an MP3 player if you just opened a shell company in the US, registered a brand, and then repackaged it as an American brand?"

Zhang Shuhan asked with an awkward smile, "But before you came, President Zhao clearly told me that the reason he set the price of MP3s relatively high was to create a mid-to-high-end brand."

"He didn't want people to think that Huilong Electronics' products were cheap goods. He didn't care about export sales. What he wanted was to create a brand that was technologically advanced and of top quality."

"If you rebrand it with an American brand, you can dispel Westerners' concerns and achieve good sales, but then what will Mr. Zhao's Huilong Electronics become? A contract manufacturer for Americans?"

Wei Jun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He wants to create a high-end brand in order to continuously sell various electronic technology products, so he certainly won't accept my proposal."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Shuhan asked with a wry smile, "What if we can't generate much sales even with solid marketing and promotion?"

Wei Yun gritted her teeth.

"impossible!"

"Such a good product is sure to have good sales."

"There are people who are prejudiced against products made in China, but not all of them."

"Just like I did in the US for so many years, not everyone discriminated against us Chinese."

At this point, Wei Yun suddenly laughed:

"And don't forget, besides developed Western countries, we can also sell to neighboring countries like South Africa and Cherry Blossom, as well as many Southeast Asian countries!"

“We are all of the yellow race and from the Confucian cultural circle, so there is no arrogance or discrimination. As long as the product is good enough, the sales will definitely not be low.”

"In just a few days, the East Asian Games will be held in Sakura, and in August, the World Games will be held. These are all opportunities for marketing and promotion!"

"The world is so big, with billions of people. I just don't believe that such a great product can't sell well. Western young people don't like such a great entertainment product!"

Zhang Shuhan nodded emphatically.

Using major sporting events for marketing and promotion is indeed a good idea.

However, the cost in this area is not a small amount.

I glanced at the doorway subconsciously to make sure it was closed.

Zhang Shuhan dragged the chair closer and asked in a low voice:

"We go to so much trouble to help him export MP3s, and we don't even charge him an agency fee. What are we getting out of this?"

"Is this cooperation really just a way to facilitate the future export of other electronic technology products?"

Wei Yun flicked his cigarette ash and gave a mysterious smile.

"You don't need to ask that."

"No matter how much it costs, you have to get this done for me!"

"As for what I'm after? I can only tell you, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"
