The reason for choosing a transistor radio as a product was simply to use it as a clever cover-up to conceal his secret identity as a secret agent.
However, to his surprise, the business grew like a snowball over time.
Gradually, he was surprised to realize that the seemingly insignificant business of transistor radios actually contained huge business opportunities and potential.
The substantial profits he earned each month delighted him, and as a result, he has been unconsciously focusing more of his energy on business operations lately.
Just yesterday, when he first came into contact with the transistor radio called Mattia, a storm of emotions surged within him.
This radio is priced at only HK$148, which is ridiculously low compared to other products from the same company!
Faced with such a huge price difference, he felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
After all, when product quality is roughly the same, consumers will inevitably choose to buy the cheaper radio without hesitation.
After a thorough investigation, a startling fact came to light—this Mattia radio was actually made by Yuzhu Company!
He was naturally familiar with this company, as its owner, He Yuzhu, had previously undertaken OEM work for them, accumulating considerable experience in radio assembly.
That's why, today, Jimmy, extremely anxious, resolutely dialed He Yuzhu's number...
Although He Yuzhu vehemently denied this to his face, Jimmy remained skeptical, shouting angrily:
"You despicable robber! You stole my transistor manufacturing technology without anyone noticing, and you even stole my radio manufacturing technology!"
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu flew into a rage, and he suppressed his anger as he retorted:
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just spout nonsense, Jimmy! If you continue to be so unreasonable and persistent, don't blame me for not being polite anymore!"
However, Jimmy showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he shouted menacingly, "You just wait and see!"
He Yuzhu was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath: "What a lunatic!"
Since successfully acquiring transistor manufacturing technology, He Yuzhu has gradually reduced his contract manufacturing business for Jimmy.
During this period, the two had not been in contact for a long time, so He Yuzhu was quite surprised when he received a call from Jimmy.
Even after hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu was still indignant and unable to quell his anger.
But this was clearly not the right time to vent his emotions, so he tried to control his inner turmoil and beckoned Huang Zhirou into the office.
After Huang Zhirou entered the room, she asked softly:
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
He Yuzhu's expression was still slightly gloomy, but he tried his best to remain calm as he spoke:
"Xiao Huang, go and arrange for the registration of a few new companies."
Huang Zhirou was slightly taken aback, then asked again:
"What specific type of company do I need to register?"
After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu replied:
"First, register a company named 'Kangli' and the corresponding 'Kangli' brand. This company will mainly focus on the production and sales of vacuum tube radios in the future."
After saying this, He Yuzhu released Huang Zhirou's hand, indicating that she should go and implement the relevant matters as soon as possible.
Huang Zhirou nodded obediently and quickly picked up her pen to carefully write down what He Yuzhu had said.
He Yuzhu smiled and spoke methodically:
"Next, we need to register a company called 'Hongtu Real Estate Group' and another called 'Hongtu Construction Company'."
From now on, all real estate development business will be handled by this newly established company.
It turns out that the real estate building that He Yuzhu is currently using is named "Hongfa," and he plans to name all the industrial buildings he builds in the future with the character "Hong" at the beginning.
Therefore, it was only natural that he named the soon-to-be-born real estate company "Hongtu," which naturally implied the hope that it could achieve great things and make significant contributions in this field!
Back then, He Yuzhu had crammed all his businesses into a company called "Yuzhu".
However, times have changed. As the business has grown bigger and more numerous, it is now clear that it is time to open a brand new company and assemble different professional management teams for each.
Just as He Yuzhu and Huang Zhirou were enthusiastically discussing how to set up the real estate company, a loud bang was heard from the office door. It turned out that someone was pushing it hard from the outside.
He Yuzhu looked up at the sound and saw Jimmy rushing in like a gust of wind, followed closely by two security guards.
Despite the two security guards' best efforts to stop Jimmy, they were ultimately unsuccessful, and he managed to break into the house.
At this moment, one of the security guards, looking deeply ashamed, quickly apologized to He Yuzhu:
"I'm so sorry, boss, I couldn't stop him."
Seeing this, He Yuzhu simply waved his hand casually, signaling the two of them to step back first.
This is clearly not the best time to deal with this matter; let's make proper arrangements later!
It must be because the two men were wary of Jimmy being an American that they hesitated to wholeheartedly stop him.
It should be noted that these security guards were all trained by Du Guanghe.
They were only given some basic training and taught a few tricks before being hastily put on duty.
Seeing Jimmy's angry and aggressive expression, He Yuzhu immediately shielded Huang Zhirou behind him and shouted:
"Jimmy, your behavior is far too rude!"
However, Jimmy remained unfazed and continued to roar angrily, his eyes wide open:
"Hey, stop wasting your breath! You're clearly a robber who stole my radio technology!"
Faced with Jimmy's accusations, He Yuzhu snorted coldly and retorted:
"Look at you now, your logic is just that of a robber! You're no different from your ancestors! Let me tell you the truth, that transistor technology has absolutely nothing to do with you. I have other ways to obtain it."
Jimmy, of course, refused to believe this explanation, and he shouted through gritted teeth:
"I don't believe you! You clearly stole it from me!"
After saying that, she even made a move to pounce on He Yuzhu. Just then, He Yuzhu, without turning his head, ordered Huang Zhirou to go and fetch the relevant documents.
Before long, Huang Zhirou placed an agreement from Moreno Trading Company regarding the transfer of transistor technology in front of Jimmy.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look! This transistor technology is something I spent real money and went through a lot of trouble to acquire!"
He Yuzhu roared, his eyes wide with anger.
Although he had successfully persuaded Moreno Trading Company to agree to let him act as their agent for CNC machine tool manufacturing, at first, Moreno Trading Company was extremely reluctant to transfer the transistor production technology.
According to Moreno Trading Company's plan, they only need to provide He Yuzhu with the raw materials, and all He Yuzhu needs to do is assemble these parts.
However, He Yuzhu's efforts to secure this processing opportunity were not solely for the meager processing fee, as that amount was insignificant to him.
What truly captivated him was the transistor manufacturing technology and the advanced technology inherent in CNC machine tools.
As a result, the two sides engaged in intense negotiations.
In this difficult struggle, He Yuzhu paid a certain price and finally succeeded in acquiring the transistor production technology.
After Jimmy suppressed his impatience and carefully read through the contract, he merely let out a cold snort, showing no intention of apologizing.
After all, how could an American, who is inherently arrogant and prejudiced, easily bow down and apologize to a Chinese person with yellow skin?
He Yuzhu asked, "Are you satisfied now? My technology was bought with real money. Besides, if I give you a transistor component, can you deduce the production technology?"
"Even if you did buy it, what are you trying to do by selling the cash register so cheaply?"
"What a joke! What business is it of yours how much my radios sell for?"
Jimmy slammed his hand on the table and pointed at He Yuzhu, saying, "I won't allow you to sell at such a low price. You must keep your prices consistent with ours."
"What if I don't?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
As Jimmy was speaking, he suddenly stood up abruptly, raised his huge fist, and punched He Yuzhu in the face.
Chapter 529 Inspection
Jimmy knew very well that if He Yuzhu set the product price so low, it would attract a large number of customers and thus steal a significant market share.
If this happens, his own profits will shrink significantly, which is a situation he absolutely does not want to face.
Therefore, when Jimmy learned that He Yuzhu had successfully obtained the supply channel for transistor technology and realized that he could not control He Yuzhu at this crucial point, he devised a plan to try to persuade He Yuzhu to raise the price of the goods and avoid excessive price reduction.
However, He Yuzhu didn't even think about it and resolutely rejected Jimmy's suggestion without hesitation.
For He Yuzhu, what a joke! He was determined to use a low-price strategy to quickly capture the market.
After all, for a brand new brand, seizing market share through price wars is an inevitable path.
To He Yuzhu's utter surprise, Jimmy suddenly lost control of his emotions, flew into a rage, and committed murder. Prior to this, He Yuzhu actually knew something about Jimmy.
He knew that Jimmy had served in the military and was highly skilled; moreover, Jimmy had also trained hard in martial arts under the master he had hired, and even possessed the strength of the Ming Jin level.
Although He Yuzhu did not expect Jimmy to take such extreme actions, when that punch came whistling towards him, it seemed incredibly powerful and aggressive, but in He Yuzhu's eyes, the attack was as weak and powerless as a child's scratching and playing.
He slowly raised his arm, the movement seemingly a little sluggish, but just as Jimmy's fist was about to arrive, he suddenly opened his palm and caught Jimmy's punch with lightning speed and precision.
Jimmy was greatly surprised, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to think. He quickly raised his right foot and kicked He Yuzhu hard.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu felt a surge of anger and thought to himself: Does this person really think of me as a pushover? With that thought, he suddenly tightened his grip on Jimmy's right hand.
Jimmy suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from him, as if his right hand was being tightly clamped by an extremely fierce pair of pliers, making it impossible for him to break free even slightly.
