Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Just tell me if it can be produced

Lin Yi, who was walking towards the building, was suddenly pulled by Li Huiqun, and he looked at him with some confusion.

Then he saw Li Huiqun grinning at him and handing over his phone.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in confusion, then heard Li Huiqun whisper:

“Boss, come on, help me take a picture of Brother Zhuang from behind. Later, I’ll post it in the group, and they’ll be so jealous.”

Without waiting for Lin Yi to agree, he directly shoved his phone into Lin Yi’s hand, then deliberately took a few steps forward to catch up with Zhuang Yan.

Looking at Li Huiqun strutting ahead with such a juvenile demeanor, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.

This joker really has some ideas.

But since that’s his only hobby, I can’t deny him, can I?

Opening the camera, he quickly snapped two photos of the backs of the two in front.

Hearing the camera sound from behind, Li Huiqun’s face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

He cursed inwardly for not having turned off the camera sound.

But now it’s too late to say anything.

Didn’t you see that President Zhuang in the front had already turned his head?

“What’s up, Brother Lin?”

Hearing the shutter sound from behind, Zhuang Yan turned his head in confusion to glance at Lin Yi.

To which Lin Yi just smiled: “Hey, it’s not every day you meet a big shot like Brother Zhuang; I couldn’t help but take a keepsake. Later, when I show it off, it’s quite a prestigious thing, isn’t it?”

Saying this, he generously waved the phone in his hand.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhuang Yan also chuckled, pointed at Lin Yi, and said with a smile:

“It’s only been a few days, Brother Lin has become a bit mischievous, even joking with me now. But now that you mention it, you’ve reminded me; later you should take more photos for me and sign them. I bet it won’t be long before they’re worth some money! Haha.”

Listening to their jokes, Li Huiqun, who initially wished to find a hole to crawl into, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

He couldn’t help but secretly give Lin Yi a thumbs up.

The boss is quite reliable; if President Zhuang knew I wanted to take pictures with him to show off, wouldn’t that be utterly embarrassing?

He took two quick steps and handed the phone back to Li Huiqun when Zhuang Yan wasn’t looking.

This way, he also saved Li Huiqun’s face.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless; this guy could spend that time taking photos with me. In two years, showing off those photos would be more impressive than with President Zhuang!

Taking the phone back, Li Huiqun chuckled and quickly stuffed it into his pocket, afraid Zhuang Yan would see.

Once in the office, Zhuang Yan personally brewed tea for Lin Yi and started chatting caringly.

“From what you said before, you’re entering the electronics industry?”

After some small talk, the conversation gradually moved to the main topic.

After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Yi and Li Huiqun, Zhuang Yan curiously inquired.

Li Huiqun was shocked and delighted to see Zhuang Yan pouring tea for him. He quickly and carefully accepted the cup while repeatedly saying thank you.

On the other hand, Lin Yi took it as a common occurrence. After all, he never considered himself inferior to Zhuang Yan.

After gently taking a sip of tea, Lin Yi spoke:

“To be honest, Brother Zhuang, I’m planning to enter the smartphone industry, starting by producing a phone to test the waters.”

Zhuang Yan was surprised to hear that Lin Yi was entering the physical smartphone sector; it’s notoriously difficult to gain market acceptance for a new phone brand.

Moreover, it requires a massive budget for advertising.

Whether it’s OPP0 or Huawei, haven’t they all been catapulted to fame through overwhelming advertising?
)

“The smartphone sector is profitable, but the initial costs are extraordinarily high…”

Having been through the business world for years, Zhuang Yan couldn’t help but share his insights.

Whether Lin Yi takes his advice or not, at least he’s been warned of the risks involved, which is enough.

Feeling warmed by Zhuang Yan’s business experience, Lin Yi was grateful.

However, listening to the conversation, Li Huiqun was confused. Isn’t the boss just working for someone? What does the advertising budget have to do with the boss?

Perhaps President Zhuang is being overly concerned!

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Yi unzipped his bag and pulled out a dozen small boxes, placing them on the coffee table in front.

“Brother Zhuang, have a look at these; can our factory process them?”

Zhuang Yan picked up a small box and examined it closely, then shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Huiqun was instantly at a loss and couldn’t help but complain inwardly: ‘Isn’t this a waste of time? We’ve been talking this whole time, and now you say you can’t do it…’

However, what Zhuang Yan said next almost made Li Huiqun swear.

“Haha, to be honest, Brother Lin, I can’t make heads or tails of these; I don’t even recognize them, haha. Don’t worry, I’ll have the technicians come and take a look.”

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised, given that different industries are essentially distinct realms, so it was normal for Zhuang Yan not to understand these electronic components.

Yet Li Huiqun was cursing inwardly; so the old man was just putting on a show the whole time!

Of course, this was just a silent grumble.

Soon, five or six employees from Guangshuo Electronics’ technical department, all in white lab coats, arrived with some small instruments.

After exchanging greetings with Zhuang Yan, they started examining the electronics on the coffee table at his signal.

But as they checked, each of their brows furrowed deeply.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yan frowned. After waiting for a while without hearing anything, he asked:

“Master Wang, can we produce them?”

Upon hearing this from the new boss, a middle-aged man about fifty stopped using his instrument and, looking somewhat troubled, said to Zhuang Yan:

“Chairman Zhuang, these electronic components are not simple; they differ significantly from models widely available…”

Zhuang Yan interrupted Master Wang’s technical talk with a wave and directly asked:

“Skip the technical details; just tell me if we can produce them.”
