My capital is quite large.

Chapter 178 Obsessive-compulsive disorder

This multinational technology licensing and production line buyout deal, worth over three billion US dollars, did not go as smoothly as Li Feng had imagined.

The shrewdness and pettiness of the South Koreans were on full display at the negotiating table that followed.

For that mere $50 million premium, Samsung's negotiation team fought tooth and nail with Haofeng's business team in the conference room for five whole days!

They kept bringing up South Korea's technology export restrictions and then emphasized the maintenance costs of the production line, all in an attempt to raise the price even further.

Finally, after a long tug-of-war, both sides compromised.

The total transaction price has been officially set at US$3.5 billion!

The day I put pen to paper and signed my name.

Li Feng and Li Zairong stood under the spotlight, their hands clasped tightly together, their faces beaming with the radiant smiles of long-lost brothers.

"President Li, I wish us a win-win cooperation in the future semiconductor industry," Li Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Lee, I deeply admire your courage! Samsung Electronics will always be Xiaomi Technology's strongest ally!" Lee Jae-yong said with a beaming smile.

Both of them felt like they'd hit the jackpot!

According to Lee Jae-yong, by using a 20nm production line that was facing replacement and some architecture licenses, he not only secured huge future orders from Xiaomi, but also made a fortune of more than three billion US dollars!

This sum of money is enough for him to crush all his competitors in the year-end battle for the Samsung vice chairmanship and secure his position as the crown prince!

In Li Feng's view, this $3.35 billion buys China's semiconductor industry precious time to overcome its period of groping in the dark! It is the confidence to avoid being held back in the future technology war!

After the signing ceremony, Lee Jae-yong, in high spirits, wanted to fulfill his duties as a host and demonstrate the "enthusiasm" of the chaebol.

That very night, at the most exclusive private club in Nanjing, they specially arranged for someone to fly in overnight from South Korea to bring Girls' Generation, the top girl group that was all the rage in Asia!

Inside the private room, nine stunningly dressed, tall members of a South Korean girl group lined up and greeted Li Feng sweetly in broken Chinese.

"President Lee, these are all the top idols in our Republic of Korea right now."

Lee Jae-yong, holding a wine glass, gave Li Feng a knowing look in his eyes and whispered with a smile, "Tonight, let them stay to celebrate our cooperation. You can choose whichever you like, or even keep them all."

However, when Li Feng looked at the group of girl group members who appeared glamorous in front of the camera but were now being pushed out like commodities, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He naturally knew the entertainment industry ecosystem of South Korean conglomerates. What kind of unspoken rules and power-for-sex transactions had these women, who were able to fight their way through the brutal competition in South Korean girl groups and be pushed to high-level drinking parties, gone through?

In the eyes of those big tycoons, it's nothing more than a slightly more upscale public toilet!

Li Feng has a severe case of mysophobia, how could he possibly touch such a worn-out shoe that has been played with by the conglomerates?

The Samsung heir wanted to give Lee Soo-man something he hadn't clearly given him last time.

"I appreciate President Li's kind offer."

Li Feng put down his wine glass, his tone indifferent, "But I have a problem: I have no interest in other people's things."

"Secretary Zhang, arrange a car to take President Li and these ladies back to their hotel to rest."

Lee Jae-yong's face stiffened slightly at being rejected so bluntly to his face.

But he didn't feel offended at all. In the eyes of a chaebol heir like him, women were just tools.

He could only sigh inwardly, thinking to himself, "This young richest man in China really is a Puritan-like figure!"

He was young and accomplished, yet so restrained and serious about women; no wonder he was able to build such a vast empire.

Lee Jae-yong had no idea that it wasn't that Lee Feng disliked beautiful women, but rather that the quality of the women in his harem was far superior to that of these mass-produced girl groups!

……

With the technology transfer and production line package from Samsung secured, the next step is implementation!

This is high-end equipment worth over 20 billion RMB! If anything goes wrong during transportation, installation, or technology handover, it will all be for nothing!

So, the entire month of September.

Li Feng, who was used to being a hands-off boss in the CEO's office, has taken on the unusual role of a contractor.

He personally led his technical team and plunged into the semiconductor industrial park in Xuzhou New City Economic Development Zone!

Wearing safety helmets and work clothes every day, braving the lingering heat of late summer, they patrol and supervise the work back and forth in the huge cleanroom and installation site!

Dozens of foreign experts poached from Silicon Valley and South Korea, with Li Feng's almost unlimited funding, worked day and night to debug the equipment and reverse engineer the underlying components!

"Old Chen! Tell those engineers from South Korea that they not only need the blueprints, but they also need to explain the underlying logic parameters of each production line clearly!"

Li Feng roared into the walkie-talkie at the construction site, "If they dare to hold back on the technical handover, they won't get a single penny of the final payment!"

The big boss personally supervised the battle in Xuzhou, which delighted one person.

That's Dilraba, who is currently filming at Haofeng Film and Television City in Xiapi, Xuzhou!

Being near the water gives you an advantage.

Because Li Feng was going to stay in Xuzhou for more than half a month, while the leading actresses in Nanjing all had their own schedules, Dilraba took advantage of the situation.

For three days in a row!

Every night after filming ended, Dilraba would rush to Li Feng's hotel in Xuzhou without even having time to remove her makeup.

This energetic Xinjiang girl displayed a passion and wildness in bed that far exceeded her innocent appearance, providing Li Feng, who had been covered in dust at the construction site for the past few days, with great relaxation and comfort.

On the fourth day, the five members of the "Peaceful Life" group, far away in Nanjing, finally realized the crisis.

They went to Xuzhou as a group under the guise of company team building!

Now, the manor in Xuzhou is a place where all kinds of flowers bloom, and Reba's dream of having her all to herself has been shattered. Everyone has returned to a fair competition of taking turns to serve the emperor.

……

One afternoon in mid-September.

After inspecting the progress at the semiconductor park, Li Feng took a detour to the nearby Xiapi Film and Television City.

Although he came to check on the operation of the film and television base he had fully funded, his gaze was inadvertently drawn to a film crew shooting a movie while passing through an antique-style street from the Republican era.

It was a production crew for a period suspense drama. The scale was small, and it looked like a low-to-medium budget web series.

Li Feng's gaze lingered on a girl dressed as a maid, who was squatting in a corner reciting her lines.

The girl was very sweet-looking, with a pair of very bright and expressive eyes. Even though she was only wearing simple coarse linen clothes, her delicate and lovely temperament was still evident.

"Mao Xiaotong?"

Li Feng recognized the girl in his heart.

Memories of his past life flooded his mind. Li Feng didn't actually have a deep impression of this girl, but in the entertainment industry, she was definitely a "miserable person" with a tragic fate.

She encountered a vampire-like father who would frequently appear on television to extort tens of millions in alimony.

I dated several boyfriends after that, but they were all jerks. I was cheated on and cyberbullied. It was truly a miserable experience.

However, the girl's acting skills and tenacity made many netizens in the previous life feel quite sorry for her.

Li Feng simply stood there, taking a few more glances at the girl because of a lingering feeling from his past life, before turning his gaze away and continuing forward with his entourage.

The big boss could just glance at it casually, but as her personal secretary, Zhang Xinyu remembered this subtle action!

In this empire, the boss's gaze is the highest command!

When the boss inspects the construction site, he will make a special stop to look at a minor, unknown extra, a maid.

What does this mean?! It means the boss has taken a liking to this girl!

"She is indeed quite pretty, and her eyes look very clean."

Zhang Xinyu silently assessed the situation and quickly made a judgment.

That afternoon, while Li Feng was attending a project meeting, [they took advantage of the opportunity].

Zhang Xinyu arrived at the backstage rest area of ​​that small film crew.

As the head housekeeper of Haofeng Group, the moment she appeared, the director and producer of the film crew immediately rushed to greet her like lapdogs.

But Zhang Xinyu ignored them and walked straight to Mao Xiaotong, who was eating a boxed lunch.

"You're Mao Xiaotong?"

Zhang Xinyu looked down at the bewildered girl in front of her, and without any preamble, bluntly stated:

Have you ever been in a relationship?

Mao Xiaotong was stunned as she held the lunchbox.

Of course she recognized the woman in front of her with an aura that seemed to be two meters and eighty centimeters tall. She was a favorite of the president of Haofeng Group and practically the master of the film studio!

But this important figure suddenly came to find a nobody like me, and the first thing he asked me was whether I had ever been in a relationship?!

Although Mao Xiaotong was full of doubts, she still nodded obediently under Zhang Xinyu's extremely imposing gaze.

"We...we talked."
