Seeing this private message, Chen Hanxing wasn't as excited as one might expect.
"Do they think they can make me admit that I produced a vehicle with this method? These tactics are really clumsy," Chen Hanxing thought to himself.
He simply didn't believe it. Spend one hundred million to order an elderly - friendly vehicle? If that were true, the person must be out of their mind! Chen Hanxing was more inclined to believe that this was a trap set by Li Youwang.
Soon it was ten o'clock at night. Chen Hanxing had been盯着 the private - message interface, but he hadn't found a suitable order. Disappointed, he logged out of Douyin. According to the court summons, he had to appear in court tomorrow. Not wanting to waste any more time, Chen Hanxing prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
At the same time, at Xiaomi's headquarters in Beijing. Looking at the "read but not replied" status on the Douyin private - message interface, Sun Yan had a complicated expression. At first, when he saw this situation, Sun Yan thought the person in charge of the Little Duck Toy Factory was just stunned and didn't know how to respond. After all, for a toy factory, an order worth one hundred million was unheard of. But gradually, Sun Yan sensed something was wrong. It had been several hours since he sent the private message, and the message was still marked as read but not replied. Could one really be stunned for such a long time? Sun Yan couldn't figure it out. It was one hundred million! Even if they were afraid of being scammed, they should at least ask something, right? Were they really not the least bit tempted? That didn't seem right!
Now, the employees in the company had all left work. Only Lei Jun and Sun Yan were still working overtime. "Still no reply?" Lei Jun asked. Sun Yan nodded. Lei Jun sighed and said, "It seems that the boss of this factory is different from what we thought. Well, it makes sense. If the person who can create such a new - energy vehicle really only cared about money, they wouldn't have been running a small factory all this time. If they were willing, they could have expanded their business long ago." Sun Yan nodded in agreement. Currently, this was the only explanation that made sense. "Mr. Lei, how about I go to Yangcheng in person?" Sun Yan suggested. Lei Jun refused, "You can't persuade him. We'll go together!" Sun Yan was shocked! Lei Jun was one of the top entrepreneurs in China. There were countless people who wanted to meet him but couldn't. But now, Lei Jun was going to Yangcheng to meet the owner of a seemingly unremarkable toy factory! If this got out, it would surely shock everyone! But then, thinking about the terrifying performance of that elderly - friendly vehicle, Sun Yan thought it wasn't such a strange decision after all.
"Okay, Mr. Lei. I'll arrange the private jet," Sun Yan said. Lei Jun nodded. Half an hour later, Lei Jun, Sun Yan, and a secretary boarded a private jet and took off from Beijing Capital Airport. Yangcheng was just a small city in Sair Province and didn't have an airport. The two of them had to fly to Zhengcheng first and then transfer to Yangcheng. Two hours later, the plane landed in Zhengcheng. Although Lei Jun tried to keep a low profile, he was still recognized. Before long, the news that Lei Jun had appeared in Zhengcheng spread on the Internet! Some people even took pictures. Although the pictures were blurry, it was still possible to tell that it was Lei Jun.
"It's really Lei Jun! What is he doing in Zhengcheng?"
"Could he be coming to invest? After the failure of Xiaomi's first - generation car, Lei Jun surely won't give up! There must be a big move!"
"What on earth could it be that made Lei Jun come in person?"
"Something's not right. Why doesn't Lei Jun have a single bodyguard with him?"
"Lei Jun seems to be avoiding people on purpose. This is very strange!"
"Someone saw Lei Jun on the high - speed rail!"
For a while, news about Lei Jun was spreading like wildfire. "Mr. Lei, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? We could actually rest in Zhengcheng for one night and then go to Yangcheng," Sun Yan said. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. Even if they arrived in Yangcheng at this time, they wouldn't be able to meet the person in charge of the Little Duck Toy Factory. Lei Jun glanced at Sun Yan and said, "Resting for one night wouldn't be a big deal, but only by doing this can we show him our sincerity." Sun Yan was a bit surprised. He knew that Lei Jun highly valued the technology of that elderly - friendly vehicle. But now, Sun Yan realized that he had still underestimated Lei Jun's determination. "There's still so much I need to learn from Mr. Lei," Sun Yan thought to himself. He didn't say anything more.
An hour later, Lei Jun and the others finally arrived in Yangcheng. They first found a hotel to stay in. In advance, they had inquired about the location of the Little Duck Toy Factory and planned to go there early in the morning. This night was destined to be an extraordinary one! After the news of Lei Jun's appearance in Zhengcheng, someone exposed new information! Lei Jun was seen in Yangcheng! Netizens were even more astonished.
"Yangcheng? Going to Zhengcheng is understandable, but what is Lei Jun doing in such a small place?"
"Is there such a place in Sair Province? I'm from Sair Province, and I've never even heard of it!"
"Lei Jun must have a big plan!"
"I'm so looking forward to finding out what Lei Jun is doing in Yangcheng!"
Dawn soon arrived. The Little Duck Toy Factory was located on the outskirts of the city. It would take more than two hours to get there by bike from the court. The court session was at eight o'clock. Chen Hanxing got up at five o'clock. After spending half an hour getting ready, he left the house. At this time, Lei Jun had also left the hotel and was on his way to the Little Duck Toy Factory by car. It was six o'clock. At the Yangcheng Municipal Government, all the city's important officials, including the mayor and the secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee, were quickly walking towards a row of black Volkswagen Passats. Zheng Weimin, the secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee walking at the front, didn't forget to give instructions, "Lei Jun is coming to Yangcheng. This is an opportunity for our Yangcheng. No matter what methods we use, we must make him invest here. The development of Yangcheng in the next twenty years depends on today!" Zheng Weimin had a serious expression. Not only him, but everyone knew the importance of this matter and was prepared for a tough battle.
On the other side, after an hour of driving, Lei Jun and the others finally arrived at the Little Duck Toy Factory. After getting out of the car and seeing the scene in front of them, Lei Jun was slightly taken aback. Through the rusty gate, they could see a yard about half the size of a football field. On both sides of the yard were factory buildings made of colored steel. Probably due to the passage of time, the colored - steel buildings were already in a dilapidated state. "Are we in the wrong place?" Sun Yan couldn't help but say as he looked at the scene. Not only him, but even Lei Jun had this feeling. The situation of the Little Duck Toy Factory was completely different from what they had imagined. Could this place really produce a new - energy vehicle with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour?
