<h4>Chapter 305: Bruce’s Angry Roar</h4>

    Xing Hai Technologies actually became a major shareholder of this high-techpany. This was a very astonishing event, which led to many discussions on the inte.


    “A few years ago, Botong Corporation nned to acquire Quam. It quoted a price as high as $130 billion. However, it was coldly rejected by Quam. But now, it has so joyfully epted the acquisition by Xinghai Technology and sold itself very cheaply. So the bride price can be so drastically reduced if the groom is handsome?”


    “He used 80 billion to buy up 40% of the shares. Isn’t that too cheap?”


    “Xing Hai Technologies got a steal; it has the rights to freely use tens of thousands ofmunication patents. Of course, Quam is not a loser in this scenario either. It is climbing upwards via this big tree called Xing Hai Technologies. The benefits for Quam will far exceed the shares it has sold.”


    “It’s kind of out of the nature of Xing Hai Technologies to do this. It has a good partnership with Hua Yao. Now Hua Yao will be upset.”


    “Hua Yao: Hey hey, we were having such a joyful time just moments ago. You grew to be suspicious of me in the blink of an eye. You’re so bad. I’ll hammer your chest with my little fists.”


    “Hua Yao: Yesterday, you called me ‘sweetheart’ too. But you’ve changed your tune today by calling me ‘Madam Hua.’ What a heartless rat.”


    “Hua Yao: Hey hey, please don’t leave me. We must continue to be each other’s angels.”


    Netizens started creating many spoofs of this incident. It was originally only typical business news. But with the sensationalizing done by a few old hands, the news suddenly radiated a filthy vibe all around. Of course, public opinion generally believed that Xing Hai Technologies’ decision was wise. It directly inserted itself in the hugemunication industry with very little cost.


    Somementators even pointed out that Quam gave up 40% of its shares at a price significantly lower than its market price. It was an attempt to hold onto the sturdy support of Xing Hai Technologies. It seemed to have the intention of then using the power of Xing Hai Technologies as support to jointly seize Hua Yao’s market share. The intention... One had to admit this move by Quam was very sinister.


    Of course, Hua Yao also inferred this point. Therefore, on the day when Quam and Xing Hai Technologies announced that they reached a strategic cooperation, the mobile phone in Ling Jundong’s pocket immediately rang. He received a call from Zhao Ming, the CEO of Hua Yao.


    He could hear that Zhao Ming was majorly pissed. He med and rebuked Ling Jundong over and over. “CEO Ling, this is such an important thing, why didn’t you discuss it with us first? Even if you didn’t want to discuss the matter with us, you should at least have let us know in advance! You have settled on a partnership with Quam without a peep, causing rumors and spections to abound on the Inte. There were even ims that Hua Yao and Xing Hai have broken off coboration. It’s not that I’m concerned about these malicious spections, but everyone involved is a Zpany. We must be united and cannot let outsiders see us as jokes.”


    “I’m sorry, CEO Zhao, I am very sorry.” Ling Jundong repeatedly apologized. “We were inconsiderate. Indeed, we really should have given you a heads up in advance, but we didn’t pay much attention to this issue. It was neglectful of me to do so. I apologize again.”


    The mes of Zhao Ming’s anger red even higher. “How can such an important thing be overlooked? Xing Hai Technologies can coborate and partner with anypany, Hua Yao will not interfere. But we must pay attention to the impact on the inte, and we must pay attention to our unity! What’s more, Xing Hai Technologies is the founder of the Star Alliance and the Xing Hai Computer Alliance. Yourpany is a leading ally. How can you ignore this issue?”


    Ling Jundong repeatedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, unity. We, Z country enterprises, must unite!” He promised, “We will notmit such mistakes again. Xing Hai Technologies must abide by the obligations of the leading ally and never destroy our unity!”


    With this, Zhao Ming finally stopped his relentless scolding, and they matched their wills against each other again as they beat around the bush in an attempt to persuade and manipte the other party. In the end, Zhao Ming could not help but say, “CEO Ling, it’s better if you call off your coboration with Quam. Don’t partner with foreigners. It’s too much to spend 80 billion in one go. It’s better to give this money to Hua Yao. Hua Yao will give 5% of its shares to Xing Hai Technologies in exchange. Xing Hai Technologies would also have free use of our tens of thousands ofmunication patents. Fertile soil should not be given to outsiders to sow. Why give such a good deal to the foreigners? CEO Ling, this is a big deal. Don’t act carelessly.”


    “I know, I know.” Ling Jundong said with a bitter smile, “But the contract has been signed, much of the 80 billion of cash has been transferred. The penalty fee for the breach of contract is very high. It really can’t be canceled.” However, he ridiculed in his mind, CEO Zhao, are you bullying us because you think we are poor at mathematics? 5% of the sharespared with 40%. A smart person knows how to choose.


    Speaking of unity, Quam could actually be considered as a Z countrypany. In addition to the main executives, more than 90% of the employees and technicians of Quam were all Z citizens. The majority of its shares were also held by Z citizens. There was no need to overthink this issue.


    “Penalty fee? Do you want to borrow money from Hua Yao to pay the penalty fee? CEO Ling, please give a call to President Chen about this. Don’t be careless.” Zhao Ming still had not given up on this matter.


    “Know, I know, I will call President Chen.” Ling Jundong shook his head as he patronized the Zhao Ming. Then, he ended the call.


    One did not have to think too hard about it to know that if Xing Hai Technologies only coborated in-depth with Hua Yao, Hua Yao would be more and more powerful in the field ofmunications. Eventually, it would defeat all its opponents and be a gigantic monopoly. In fact, this was no good for anyone. No one would be able to resist if Hua Yao also wanted to y the gangster. This was somewhat rmist, but who could predict the future? Was it rare for one to evolve from a good and brave man to an evil demon king? It was still better to have one or twopetitors in the market.


    Therefore, Xing Hai Technologies would always hold this ying card of Quam in the palm of its hands.


    ...


    Besides that, the news that Xing Hai Technologies became a shareholder of Quam also spread overseas. A 23-year-old man, Tom Bruce, noticed the news on the web portal. He was immediately taken aback.


    “Our best technologypany has been bought by the Z people? The buyer is the major robber, Xing Hai Technologies, who has stolen our most advanced ‘intelligent learning technology’? Damn! The abominable Z countrypany has stolen our top technology. And now they are even using the money they earned from our technology to buy our Quam?”


    Tom Bruce was so angry that he was out of it. In his heart, he shouted, The despicable Xing Hai Technologies, stop what you’re doing right now!


    In the process of reading thements, Tom Bruce saw a lot of rants simr to his thoughts. He saw a post that was forwarded from an unknown source. The title of the post was “The traitor of Merica, and the three sins of Quam in detail.” After seeing the contents of the post, Tom Bruce’s eyes widened, his breath became heavy, and his chest trembled violently.


    This post said. “Quam is a traitor! They sold their bodies and souls to the Z people! Fruitpany was once the world’srgest mobile phonepany. Fruitpany sold 40 million Fruit mobile phones in the Z country market. At least 100 million Z people are fans of Fruit mobile phones, bringing us tens of billions of profits every year. However, Quam used patentwsuits that were based on groundless usations against the Fruitpany, allowing Z country to find an excuse to ban Fruitpany. This has caused us to lose hundreds of billions of dors. Although Z country has lifted the ban, the lost market share can no longer be recovered, now fruit the Fruit mobile phone’s share in Z country’s market is less than 1%. It is Quam who let our proudest technologypany fall into decay in Z country. Last year, in order to please the Z nation lord, Quam moved its headquarters to Z country. What is even more surprising is that Quam’s only charged 5% in patent fees for its 5G chips in Z country. But it’s charging 8.5% in Merica. That’s right. Quam chips are more expensive in Merica than Z country, Quam is taking our money and subsidizing the Z people! Now, Quam has sold itself to the Z nation and given tens of thousands of patented technologies developed by engineers from Merica to the Z people on a silver tter. This would enable the Z people to be more powerful in the field ofmunication technology, Z people will use those technologies even more unscrupulously and steal our privacy. Quam has destroyed our greatest Fruitpany; they have used our money to subsidize the Z people; they have given tens of thousands of patents that our engineers have developed over the past few decades to the Z people. Thispany has done countless unimaginable deeds. Even in the Z country, it even has the title of “Z Empire’s Conscience,” thepany’s executives are all yellow people wearing white skins! Friends, what should we do about such apany?”


    At that point, Tom’s eyes were burning with rage. He was so furious that he trembled all over and his face grew red. He shook as he ced his hands on the keyboard. He quickly typed a line of words and sent out his angry roar. “I swear, I will never buy any products rted to Quam ever again!”
