Chapter 452: The Future?

Mo Jingchun was stunned for a moment, then looked at President Lei with wide eyes.

He seemed to have discovered something terrifying.

So... by a series of coincidences, the two of them accidentally stumbled upon some top-secret information?

Wow, it’s strange that Qin Yuzhu hasn’t approached him about this.

Not asking him to sign a confidentiality agreement, at least mentioning the need to keep things under wraps would be appropriate, right?

Or does it mean that those above have trusted him to such an extent?

"As long as you understand." President Lei hurriedly covered Mo Jingchun’s extended finger, coughing a little.

"Ahem, it’s enough that you and I know about it."

Mo Jingchun, coming back to his senses, gently patted President Lei’s hand and said with a smile:

"I get it, I get it."

Speaking of which, President Lei is really taking the fall for this, being called in for a discussion.

The two exchanged knowing smiles and headed into the company together.

Leaving the onlookers with bewildered faces.

"Brother, you left me behind!"

The little one watched as her brother walked off, seemingly forgetting her, and stomped her foot angrily in place.

If Mo Jingchun didn’t look back, the little one would definitely throw a tantrum right there.

"Hey, how could Brother forget our cute Guoguo?"

With a smile, Mo Jingchun took a big step and reached Candy’s side, picking her up.

"Hmph!" The little one "angrily" turned her head to the side.

Until... at President Lei’s earnest invitation, they arrived at his office.

Faced with a table full of fruits and snacks, and another table of toys, Candy’s eyes were everywhere.

Should she eat first? Or play with the fun toys?

What a tough choice to make.

"Haha, Candy, these are all prepared just for you."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Gone was the little one’s earlier sulkiness; her eyes sparkled and she smiled brightly, clearly delighted.

Outside the office, everyone was curious about what topics the two bosses were discussing inside.

To the extent of sending everyone else away, leaving only a preschool-age child inside.

The little one was munching on snacks and playing with robots.

Hearing what President Lei said, Mo Jingchun was startled and exclaimed:

"Wow, are you really planning to build cars?"

"I thought it was just a joke."

Seeing President Lei so full of confidence, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but interject, "President Lei, I’m not trying to discourage you, but while building cars isn’t hard, getting consumers to accept them is not so easy, especially electric cars."

"That’s why I’m telling you, as long as our two companies form a strategic partnership and offer graphene batteries at lower prices, we can focus on cost-effective electric cars."

Scratching his head, Mo Jingchun said resignedly, "President Lei, cost-effectiveness can’t beat the Wuling Hongguang."

"As long as the mini is still in production, no company can beat the divine Wuling in the low-end market."

After thinking it over, Mo Jingchun reluctantly said, "To tell you the truth, President Lei, many car companies have already formed alliances to discuss graphene batteries with me. Entering the car industry now wouldn’t be wise."

By four in the afternoon, the people from Xiaomi Corporation finally saw the folks from Candy Technology leave.

The smile on President Lei’s face made it unclear what kind of collaboration had been reached.

In the car, the little one was playing with toys, and Mo Jingchun sighed with a smile.

It turned out he was still too inexperienced and suffered from a lack of experience.

From the start, President Lei never really intended to build cars.

It was all just a ploy.

President Lei is still the same President Lei; while other flagship phones haven’t even used graphene batteries yet, he’s ready to release a Redmi phone equipped with them.

With a starting price of 1999, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but doubt if there’s even profit in the low-end version at 1999.

The latest chip, the latest graphene battery, just these two components alone aren’t cheap.

Whatever, going home tomorrow is the top priority.

He’s long wanted to check out the battle armor he’s been thinking about.

Back at the hotel entrance, Mo Jingchun was only slightly surprised to see the people inside.

Then he felt it made sense.

There’s no reason President Lei would sign a confidentiality agreement, while he wouldn’t.

Seeing him return, Qin Yuzhu stood up with a smile.

"You’re finally back."

"Let’s talk upstairs."

Qin Yuzhu nodded and didn’t refuse. With so many people around, it wasn’t the place for a conversation.

Looking at the box Lone Wolf was carrying, the little one couldn’t take her eyes off it, and Qin Yuzhu was curious about what was inside, intriguing the little one so.

At the Candy Science and Technology Park, everyone was eating in the hall except for the on-duty paramilitary police.

While eating rice, Wang Bing calmly said, "I’ve got good news for you all, we’ve been notified that new types of weapons will be delivered tomorrow, and a comrade will also be coming to provide technical support."

"Hmm, I heard it’s a female comrade."

Initially, everyone was quietly happy to hear new weapons would arrive, but hearing there’d be a female comrade, their eyes lit up.

"What’s with those looks? Don’t scare her away."

Sitting on the sofa, Mo Jingchun, a bit disbelieving, asked again to confirm:

"Qin, did you say that ten robots were being delivered to the paramilitary squad in the park?"

"Yes, to avoid any misunderstandings, I came to let you know."

"The higher-ups said they respect your opinion."

Qin Yuzhu didn’t reveal that the convoy with the robots had already set out.

But as long as Mo Jingchun shook his head, the transport would exit the highway at the next intersection.

The higher-ups intended to ensure the safety of Candy Technology and Mo Jingchun, not to create enmity.

Mo Jingchun touched his chin, quietly observing Qin Yuzhu, and said:

"Don’t tell me it’s the robot I saw."

"Exactly that one, but it’s an upgraded version."

"With your graphene battery, the Second Generation Moisture Combat Robot now has preliminary combat capabilities."

Moisture, so that’s the robot’s official name.

"Alright, go ahead and send them." Appearing to be a choice, Mo Jingchun knew they were actually informing him.

There was no other option.

In collaboration, there is mutual integration.

If Candy Technology gained self-defense capabilities, while they might still collaborate, there would always be a barrier.

Fortunately, at this stage, things were still under Mo Jingchun’s control.

As for the future, he’d have to take it one step at a time.

If possible, Mo Jingchun was open to a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship.

If one day, Candy Technology got out of his control, he’d prefer to take his family and fly far away.

Used to freedom, who would want to be confined?

For now, this collaboration seemed to be going well for both sides.
