Ginny burst out laughing and hit him several times in a row: "Nonsense, I have always been very kind to my employees."
He quickly came up with a bad idea: "No, it's better to be more dignified, which is more in line with President Gwyneth's queen style!"
As soon as he said this, he was beaten again.
The two laughed and joked for a while, completely dispelling the previous low pressure, and then Ginny explained the situation of the mobile phone company.
Miss Beth's "revenge" against her family made it possible for Titanium Mobile Phone Company to release the product two months earlier.
But she is only a major shareholder of Daolong Company, and she does not have the final say in Daolong Company alone.
Beth wants to suppress her inhumane father and brother, no problem.
There must be enough benefits so that other shareholders of Island Dragon Company will not oppose her retaliatory actions.
Beth must have done a lot of private communication. At the very least, she had to ensure that the company's profits did not decrease, and perhaps even increased.
However, the Thompson family has been getting relatively low-priced spare parts from Daolong thanks to Miss Beth's status as a major shareholder.
Miss Beth's revenge is also more in line with the interests of other shareholders.
The Titanium Mobile Phone Company's spare parts production plan was able to be advanced.
The smartphone chips needed for titanium phones have very high performance requirements, and the profits that Daolong can obtain are also high.
At the same time, Titanium Mobile Phone Company also has some orders for wireless router spare parts, and Daolong Company will also provide chips.
Weiland also has spare parts orders for the same wireless router under the management of Daolong.
Daolong Company certainly knows that Weiland Company has a cooperation with Titanium Mobile Phone.
This also means that the sales of titanium mobile phones are likely to grow explosively.
Therefore, Beth wants Titanium Mobile Phone Company to increase the order quantity.
This is why Ginny was in a hurry to find Luke.
Her expectations for the initial supply of titanium phones are conservative.
The first batch will be 200,000 units, and the number will gradually increase in the later stages. We strive to sell 500,000 titanium phones within a year.
When the company orders chips, it will also do so according to this expectation.
But Beth wanted her to order at least one million chips for a year at a time.
Luke thought about it and nodded: "Sure, a little more doesn't matter."
The gadget he made was a high-end imitation of the iPhone 4, a product that successfully earned the title of “kidney machine” in his previous life.
One million copies will only take a few months or half a year to sell.
Ginny smiled bitterly: "Where's the money? This is an increase in inventory several times at one time. We don't have that much money."
Luke: "Welander wants to buy shares, so the money should be enough, right?"
Ginny: "But time is too tight. If we want to get Weyland's investment, we will definitely suffer a loss."
Luke: "It's okay. At most I can mortgage my shares in the gold mine, which is worth a lot of money."
Ginny: "... Never mind. I'd better try harder on Weyland's side."
She knew that Luke's gold mine shares had been transferred away, and she didn't want to touch them.
She wanted the cell phone company to be a joint effort between Luke and her, not just his.
At this point, the matter is basically settled.
Ginny knew that Luke was not very interested in the investment and shareholding issues, so she did not continue the topic.
The two of them snuggled together, took the red wine beside them, and while sipping, they talked about business in low voices.
…
The next day, five in the morning.
While eating breakfast, Selina asked casually, "Did the eldest lady talk to you about business again?"
Luke nodded and told the story about the internal strife among the Thompson family and how the mobile phone company took advantage of the opportunity and might open early.
Selina was stunned for a moment: "Is there such a thing?"
After a moment, she suddenly exclaimed: "That's right, in the future we can use the Internet anytime and anywhere..."
Luke raised a finger, signaling her not to say it.
He didn't tell her this, but Selena had been with him for so long, and the tablet-like fake phone they used already had similar functions, but because there were not more users accessing it, its functions were not as powerful.
Once mobile phone networks are rolled out, some of the functions of counterfeit phones will be exponentially enhanced.
But this matter is too sensitive, at least people like them who hold shares in mobile phone companies cannot talk about it.
With this thing, Luke can make up for the shortcomings of the intelligence network to a great extent.
He had obtained the system in a very short time, and lacked manpower, connections, and funds.
It is too unrealistic to expect to complete the network of relationships that the top powerful class has built over decades or even generations in just one year.
A mobile phone can serve as his eyes and ears before he really develops, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others.
When other people obtain intelligence, they often have to exchange it for benefits.
The information Luke needs is most likely just to gain experience points.
He will try his best to become an intelligence black hole that only takes in but does not give out, quietly eating up intelligence that is useful to him, and will not touch irrelevant intelligence even if it is stored in the bottom of the box.
Given his current situation, the only things he must earn personally are experience points.
Things like money and power are not enough to make him take too much risk.
Staying alive is his way of survival.
Over the next few days, Luke and Selena spent most of their time in Los Angeles, occasionally going out for a drive in other parts of California.
When they went out to investigate, the two of them carefully put on makeup.
Luke was dressed like a hip-hop boy, but Selina was wearing the bohemian dresses he bought.
Luke's skin and facial features tend to be Hispanic, but Selena looks more like a white girl.
They found the families of the missing girls and children one by one and asked them about the circumstances of their disappearance.
As more intelligence is gathered, one fact becomes apparent.
Although it has not been supported by hard evidence and looks as unreliable as a castle in the air, Luke and Selina both know that as long as there is evidence in one case, then 70% to 80% of the other cases are also true.
Leaving again from the home of a missing child's parents in Sacramento, Luke and his companions drove back.
Whenever the two of them go out of town, Dollar and Gold Nugget clones will be left at home as a guarantee of Claire's safety.
At this moment, there were only two people in the car.
Outside the window is an afternoon scene under scorching sun. There are only a few spots of green in the vast expanse of desolate yellow, which looks extremely hot.
Selina chose not to turn on the air conditioner, but opened the window. Luke's car was only moving at a speed of about 70 kilometers per hour.
Work is very busy, but the pace of life cannot continue to accelerate, as that will only make both work and life a torture.
The more the two found out, the more darkness they felt.
Luke himself was fine, after all, he had seen the darker Bubblegum Gang headquarters before.
Selena needs some time to adjust her mindset.
From the open car window, gusts of hot wind blew in, blowing the ponytail behind her.
"If we find solid evidence, what are you going to do?" she suddenly asked.
