Actually, what pained Jiang Xun the most was that, in that situation, Jiang Lai would save him. And the eldest brother he had always trusted and respected the most would unhesitatingly choose to abandon him.
"Jiang Zhuan, I’ve already thought it over. Even so, I’ve told you everything. Do what you want, but I..."
"What the hell are you talking about! What choice do I have? Who else in this world can I choose besides you? Have you forgotten what Mom said before she died? At a time like this, you want to abandon me?!"
Jiang Xun looked at him with reddened eyes.
"The path I chose is very dangerous. Jiang Lai is not a ruthless person. Even if she wins in the end, she won’t take our lives, but Jiang Li is different.
He only cares about himself. Once things are exposed, I will die a horrible death."
"Then we’ll die horribly together. Actually, I’ve often dreamed of us being eaten by a giant.
Later, I went to see a psychologist. Guess what the doctor said? He said I have severe depression!
Bullshit, I’m living so well, where did I get depression?
But later, when I realized I always wanted to jump off the building, I knew I was really sick.
I’m sick, and you can’t escape either!
I’ve seen your medical records long ago. It’s all your fault that I got depression. From the moment we were born, we are inseparable life and death. Isn’t it ridiculous to talk about separation now?!"
Jiang Xun punched him hard.
"It’s you who talks nonsense all day long."
"In any case, as long as you live, I live. If you die, I won’t survive either.
Let’s take a gamble."
"Okay."
At the celebration banquet that evening, the Jiang brothers were all present.
A few prominent figures in the business and political circles were also present, and Jiang Li mingled among them, chatting and laughing casually.
"The success of this trade proves once again that we are leaders in the industry. Our Jiang Technology has broken the foreign monopoly in the chip industry and also demonstrated our capability to the world.
Therefore, I believe we are more than capable of hosting the next technology expo."
"Boss Jiang, you are young and promising, truly admirable! I heard that this time, foreign countries directly imported over a billion in chip resources from you, a remarkable progress in our country’s chip industry history!"
Jiang Li smiled with confidence and flamboyance.
"Our success could not have been achieved without the support and approval of all the leaders present. Today, I announce that in the name of Jiang Technology, I will donate fifty million for charity in our city!
I hope all the leaders will continue to support us, Jiang Technology will not disappoint you."
"Hahaha, Boss Jiang, you’re so generous! With today’s victory, I’m sure you’ll be the sole organizer of the expo!"
"Boss Jiang, truly the head of Jiang Technology, from now on, our city’s tax index will depend on you!"
Praises and echoes were what Jiang Li had heard countless times.
But today, he heard these voices for the first time.
Because standing in front of him were the most important figures in the city.
This success across the chip trade meant Jiang Technology had completely broken the foreign monopoly on chips, an unparalleled honor for any enterprise.
And these honors were created single-handedly by Jiang Li.
Once the trade funds returned this time, he could smoothly acquire several small companies holding shares in Jiang Technology.
By then, he would take the chairman’s position, modify the company’s share distribution, and Jiang Lai would hardly be able to stir up any trouble.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, the secretary suddenly walked directly through the crowd to Jiang Li’s side, ignoring courtesy, whispering in his ear.
"There’s a problem, Boss. The batch of goods to Northern Europe has issues. We’ve already been sued by the other company."
Jiang Li glanced up at him, the wine glass in his hand gripped tighter, but when someone nearby inquired if something had happened, he still smiled at them casually and said,
"The company has indeed encountered a minor issue, please continue drinking, I’ll excuse myself for a moment."
After saying that, Jiang Li buttoned up his suit jacket and left with the secretary.
Everyone in the banquet hall of the Jiang Family saw this scene.
Just as Jiang Huan was dancing, he first noticed and quickly and nervously followed Jiang Li out.
Jiang Che and Jiang Qi followed closely behind.
In the car outside the banquet hall, Jiang Li opened his computer and saw the legal letter from the other company.
He calmed down and dialed the other company’s boss’s number.
"They won’t answer, I’ve already tried."
"What’s the reason?"
With such a massive batch of goods, there must be a reason for the return.
If it’s their fault, the losses must be borne by them.
Jiang Li was confident that the goods he sent out would definitely not have problems.
Jiang Technology had already mastered world-leading chip technology even before grandfather passed away.
With years of continuous technical improvement, it’s impossible for problems to occur.
"The chip quality has problems. Once installed, the chips self-destruct once activated, and the other side has already lost three giant mainframes because of this, with loss valued at hundreds of millions.
Just the price of a single giant mainframe is over ten million.
Losing three of them at the same time, such a loss is quite devastating.
So the other side has no intention to negotiate and directly chose to sue, demanding Jiang Technology for compensation."
"According to the contract, we are required to provide unconditional after-sales service for product quality issues. If product quality issues cause property damage to the other side, it requires ten times compensation.
Boss, the issue now is that those chips indeed have problems, and our technicians over there have sent messages stating the chips are damaged with no found cause, and it has caused severe damage to the other side’s main network system.
The losses add up to... nearly a billion.
If compensation is according to the contract... the compensation amount reaches a hundred billion."
The secretary’s voice grew quieter and quieter.
Watching Jiang Li’s expression visibly shift from forcibly calm to frightfully furious.
"The reason! What’s the reason!!"
What was the reason for the explosion?!
Failing in this business has already cost him nearly a billion, and now it even damaged the other company’s network system!
It’s important to know that a complete high-end network system is invaluable! If the other side opens their mouth wide based on the contract, they would have no room for rebuttal!
The secretary closed the computer in a panic, keeping his head down.
"The reason hasn’t been found yet. But rest assured, have faith in our techs, given enough time, they will surely find the problem!"
To find the problem would be to follow the prescription for the ailment, providing a chance to recover the losses!
But now, unable to locate the problem, they could only wait for the other side to claim compensation!
Jiang Li’s expression turned exceptionally dark and terrifying.
"Let’s set off now, head over and see what exactly the issue is!"
"The plane is ready, are we leaving now?"
"Send Jiang Che to the Huang Family!! Right now!!"
