After the woman changed her clothes, she closed the closet door and turned the doorknob.
This is a very strange action. The wardrobe is already closed. Why is she twisting the doorknob
But just when Xia Lei was filled with curiosity, the large wardrobe suddenly moved to the side, revealing the door of an alloy safe.
Xia Lei was a little surprised, "It turns out there is a safe hidden behind the closet. It is probably where her valuables and cash are stored."
Xia Lei did not see through the safe. Due to the material and thickness of the safe, it would be difficult to see through it and it would also consume a lot of his energy. Spending so much effort to look at a pile of cash or gold bars is obviously not worth the gain.
The woman took two steps back, grabbed the briefcase that was sitting on a chair, and then returned to the safe.
Xia Lei's heart moved, and his left eye moved to the briefcase in the woman's hand. The briefcase was made of leather. Considering Xia Lei's current strength, it was actually no different from a layer of paper. His left eye penetrated it instantly, and the contents of the briefcase came into his sight.
There are several things in the briefcase, including a document, a passport, a gold Parker pen, and a patent application.
The first thing Xia Lei saw was the patent application, which happened to be facing him. That was a patent application for an automatic surfboard. The applicant for the patent is Liu Ying, who is the legal representative of Yuedong Sports Equipment Company.
Under the patent application was a passport, which also had Liu Ying's name on it, and her photo, which matched what he saw of her. There is no doubt that she is the "Sister Liu" mentioned by Chi Jingqiu.
Under the passport is the thick document, which contains the design drawings of the automatic surfboard, the parameters of various accessories, etc. The content is very large. However, no matter how large the content is, it is difficult to escape Xia Lei's eyes. His sight is like a greedy snake, eating the top layer of paper, and then eating the bottom layer of paper. In less than fifteen seconds, He "ate up" all the paper in that document.
The door of the safe opened, Liu Ying put the briefcase in, closed the door of the safe, and then restored the wardrobe to its original position. Finally, she left her room and headed for the stairs.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: "It turns out that the parts Liu Ying customized to Chi Jingqiu are used on automatic surfboards. This kind of surfboard is driven by electricity and can swim freely even in windless waters. , the market prospect is definitely very good. She is still applying for a patent. This novel product has not yet been put on the market and is still in the trial production and preparation stages. If I can get her order and establish a cooperative relationship with her, Then I will process all the parts for this kind of automatic surfboard in the future.”
Knowing the other party's business secrets will give him confidence in the subsequent negotiations.
He reached out and pressed the doorbell, then waited quietly.
The nanny opened the door and looked at Xia Lei warily, "Who are you looking for?"
Xia Lei smiled and said politely: "I'm looking for Mr. Liu."
The nanny didn't get out of the way, "Who are you? Do you have an appointment?"
Xia Lei said: "I called Mr. Liu just now and she asked me to come here to find her. Please let me know."
At this time, Liu Ying's voice came from the living room, "Let him come in."
The nanny then took out a pair of plastic shoe covers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Xia Lei.
Xia Lei put the shoe covers on his shoes, then walked in with his bag.
Liu Ying looked at Xia Lei and then said, "Please sit down."
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry to bother you." Xia Lei took the initiative to extend his hands to shake Liu Ying's hand.
Liu Ying did not extend her hand to shake Xia Lei's hand, but said lightly: "I don't need to do this. I just applied hand cream, so it's inconvenient. You can sit down."
Xia Lei retracted his hand in embarrassment and sat opposite Liu Ying.
In Liu Ying's view, Xia Lei was just an errand boy for Chi Jingqiu, and there was no need for her to lower herself to talk to him. No handshake, not even a glass of water for the nanny to pour for Xia Lei.
Xia Lei didn't care about this. He opened the canvas bag he brought, took out the processed parts, and then placed the processed parts on the canvas bag for Liu Ying to inspect.
Seeing the processed parts placed on the coffee table, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Ying's face, "Jingqiu is really efficient in doing things. She brought the samples over so quickly. By the way, why isn't Jingqiu here?"
Xia Lei said: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Liu Ying looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, take a look at this set of processed parts first."
Liu Ying's eyes returned to the workpiece. She reached out to pick it up and held it in front of her eyes for observation.
Xia Lei then took out a piece of printing paper and a micrometer from the canvas bag and handed them to Liu Ying, while saying: "Mr. Liu, this is processed according to your requirements, both in terms of materials and precision. Meet your requirements. You can simply measure it now. If you think the micrometer is not accurate, you can ask your company's experts to check it. I guarantee that there is no problem with its quality."
Liu Ying said: "I know a little bit about mechanical processing. This part is good, there should be no problem. By the way, who processed this?"
Xia Lei said: "It's me."
"Is it you?" Liu Ying's eyes fell on Xia Lei's face, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "You are so young, is it impossible?"
Xia Lei said: "This is indeed processed by me. If you don't believe it, you can go to my studio and I can do it again for you."
"Wait a minute." Liu Ying interrupted Xia Lei, "Chi Jingqiu said she has a very powerful friend. Is she talking about you?"
Xia Lei nodded, "She is talking about me. My name is Xia Lei, and my studio is called Thunder Horse Studio. I have processed very important high-precision machining parts for Dongfang Heavy Industry, and I have also worked for Beechcraft." The company has processed parts. Our quality and reputation are guaranteed.”
Liu Ying looked straight at Xia Lei, and suddenly smiled again after a while, "I understand, I asked Chi Jingqiu to place an order, and Chi Jingqiu asked you to process it, but you bypassed Chi Jingqiu and came to me, thinking Sign a contract with me directly, is that right?”
Xia Lei also smiled, "You give me three hundred and one, and she gives me two hundred and six. After completing the order, she will take 8% of my commission. My workers and I can't make as much money as her even though we work so hard." .So, why don’t I talk to you directly? Mr. Liu, you are a very smart person, you should be able to understand why I do this."
"Little brother, it's not good for you to do this, it's against the rules." Liu Ying said.
"What's wrong with the rules?"
"I placed an order with Chi Jingqiu. She plays the role of an agent in this business. If you want to make money, you can only make money from her, not me." Liu Ying said.
Xia Lei was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. You placed the order with her because of her position in Dongfang Heavy Industries. Can she speak in front of Chairman Ning?"
Liu Ying didn't say yes or no, she just looked at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei continued: "Mr. Liu, you are interested in the future cooperation relationship, but I can tell you that Dongfang Heavy Industries is currently negotiating with the Shentu family's Wanxiang Group for a large-scale wind power station project. Your company's order I'm afraid they still look down upon you. Even if Dongfang Heavy Industries is willing to take your small order, they may not do their best. What should you do if you wait for it but don't have the parts to assemble your product?"
Liu Ying's eyes hesitated.
Xia Lei added: "We are different, we have technology and talents, we are an emerging team, and we just meet your needs. In fact, as far as your product is concerned, all parts can be processed at our place. Mr. Liu, there is no need for you to go to a large state-owned enterprise like Oriental Heavy Industries, it is a very wise choice to go to us."
Liu Ying said: "Little brother, we have just met for the first time, but you want to talk to me about such an important matter. Apart from your name, I know nothing about you. What kind of studio is yours?" I don’t understand either, tell me, why should I believe you?”
Xia Lei said: "You can give me an order of 10,000 yuan. After I complete it, you can give me a new order."
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Little brother, are you kidding me? When has my company ever done business like this? Do you think it's just a child's game of house?"
Such words lacked respect, and Xia Lei felt a little uncomfortable, but he could still hold it back. He wanted to win an order from Yuedong Sports Equipment Company, which would be of great help to his career. He couldn't give up just because he felt a little uncomfortable. He lowered his stance again, "Mr. Liu, I just provide a plan that can prove my sincerity and the strength of my studio. If you are not satisfied, I will provide another plan. You can think about it again and we can cooperate." If so, it’s actually a win-win situation.”
"Let's do this. I'll call Chi Jingqiu. I'll talk to her and then get back to you, okay?" Liu Ying put the parts that Xia Lei had processed personally back on the canvas bag, along with the micrometer and the ones printed by Xia Lei. The information was pushed in front of Xia Lei.
This means seeing off guests.
She said she would reply after contacting Chi Jingqiu, but she didn't even bother to ask for Xia Lei's contact information. Her attitude was actually very clear. She would not cooperate with a small person like Xia Lei.
Xia Lei slowly put away the workpiece and stood up, "That's it, goodbye Mr. Liu."
"Well, I won't give it away." Liu Ying responded lightly, then got up and walked towards the child playing with toys, "Oh, mommy's baby, come to mommy and let mommy give it a hug."
The child looked back at Liu Ying, then went back to playing with his Transformers.
Xia Lei took two steps and then stopped. He took out his mobile phone, dialed a number at random, and then said on the mobile phone: "Hey, Xiao An, you contact that sports equipment company immediately and tell them that I have It’s a great idea to give them, but we have to make their parts.”
There was actually no Ma Xiaoan's voice on the phone, only the sound of the system prompting that the number was empty.
But just with this call, Liu Ying, who had just walked to her son, suddenly turned around and looked directly at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei continued: "What idea? Automatic surfboard, isn't this idea great enough? Tell them that I still have a processed transmission part in my hand... Okay, okay, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Xia Lei pretended to hang up the phone and strode towards the door without even looking at Liu Ying.
"Wait-" Liu Ying suddenly ran over and blocked Xia Lei's way.
Xia Lei frowned and looked at her, "What do you want to do?"
Just now he begged Liu Ying to cooperate in a low voice, but now he didn't even bother to call Mr. Liu.
"You can't leave!" Liu Ying looked very nervous, "You have to say something clearly before you can leave!"
Xia Lei sneered, "What a joke, I'm not your prisoner or your subordinate. Do I need to explain anything to you?"
"You—" Liu Ying was immediately furious. There had been a time when she, Mr. Liu, had been so angry!
