Technological Hegemony

When Luo Jia and Ping Yuying returned to Shanghai, it was already the evening of the fifth day of the lunar new year.

The journey was quite exhausting. After Luo Jia treated Ping Yuying to a Japanese meal, he sent her back to the Xingchen Battleship Community.

Unlike most universities in China, Star University does not have a long winter vacation, and the school starts on the sixth day of junior high school.

Luo Jia helped Hiraha Sakura unload the luggage in a very gentlemanly manner.

The luggage was quite heavy, obviously it was just a short trip, Luo Jia could handle it with a backpack, but Ping Yuying had to bring so many things, as a straight man of steel, Luo Jia might never understand the reason.

"Are you free on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Luo Jia asked Hiraha Sakura.

"Lantern Festival, is Luo Jiajun going to do something?" Ping Yuying asked with her head tilted.

"If you're free, I'll take you to watch the fireworks." Luo Jia said lightly.

Bass~

Hiraba Sakura's face flushed red.

In the neon custom, it is of special significance for boys to take girls to watch fireworks.

The so-called summer festival is also a love festival, which is used to make love and kiss, and because the neon culture is relatively open, two people usually go directly to the lover's hotel after watching the fireworks...

Luo Jia was suspicious, and wondered what the hell was going on, it was just watching the fireworks, but his face turned red like this?

"Ok."

Hiraha Sakura lowered her head and agreed, like a child, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with both hands, speaking in a low voice.

"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up when the time comes." After Luo Jia finished speaking, she opened the car door and waved at Hirao Sakura.

After a long time, Luo Jia had already driven away, Ping Yuying suddenly jumped up excitedly, covered her mouth, and let out a happy laugh.

So in the dark night, people saw a short little loli holding a suitcase that was about the same height as her, giggling on the side of the road, as if she was hysterical.

 …

The car turned two corners and drove to the headquarters of Xingchen Technology.

When entering the door, Luo Jia stopped the car and talked to the security minister Xu Chunbiao who was guarding the door.

"Brother Biao, have all the pyrotechnic masters from Hunan been arranged?"

Xu Chunbiao handed Luo Jia a cigarette, and Luo Jia waved his hand, indicating that he had quit.

So Xu Chunbiao lit a cigarette and said, "It's all arranged. I live in the Hilton. I also treat them to a big meal. There are ten people at a table, and the price is 6,800 yuan. Drinks are not included, and most of them are hard dishes."

"The masters were very excited. They said that it was the first time they lived in such a high-end place, and they vowed to work hard tomorrow, otherwise they would be sorry for our hospitality."

"They are all real people." Luo Jia nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, this is not your responsibility, but the company is already on holiday, and only the security department is still in operation. After going to work tomorrow, I will let the administration department take over this matter."

"Hey, if you say this, you will be out of touch. It's all part of your job." Xu Chunbiao said.

Fireworks are still very dangerous. The Department of Chemistry has a small building dedicated to high-risk experiments. Luo Jia arranged for Xu Chunbiao to add some staff there, and then returned to the meditation center.

In addition to going skiing, parents also wanted to go to the capital to visit the Forbidden City. They would not come back until after the Lantern Festival, and the house was deserted, so Luo Jia decided to live in the company.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was the company's opening day, and firecrackers were not allowed in Shanghai, so Luo Jia asked Xu Chunbiao to hang colorful balloons at the door, and wrote words like welcome everyone back to the company.

The members of the tough guy group returned one after another, and the chemistry department managed by Zhang Dongning immediately started experimenting with new types of explosives.

At the same time, Luo Jia also asked the subsidiary Xingchen Chemical to prepare the site, equipment, and raw materials. Once the experiment is successful, the pyrotechnic masters will make the fireworks bombs needed for the Lantern Festival in Nantong on the other side of the river.

The development work was jointly completed by the Chemistry Department and the pyrotechnic masters from Liuyang.

was replaced with a new material.

The development work went well, Luo Jia called Hong Tao, asked him to take someone to Liuyang, and signed the purchase agreement.

When Luo Jia was in Liuyang, he only reached a verbal agreement with them. The local government wanted to introduce Xingchen Technology, so he strongly advocated this matter. build.

Liuyang Fireworks is a listed company. The current stock price plus 10% will be used as the benchmark purchase price, and the debt will be split according to accounting standards.

After the official acquisition, Liuyang Fireworks will be completely delisted. After all, Star Technology has never entered the capital market, regardless of its parent company or subsidiaries.

Hong Tao nodded in agreement, and started to make preparations, gathering experts from business, legal affairs, patents, and various fields.

Things are still quite troublesome, involving trifles such as the review by the Securities Regulatory Commission and the voting at the general meeting of shareholders. Usually, Star Technology rarely acquires companies that have already been listed.

In any case, this acquisition is also an opportunity for the company's second integration. Too many subsidiaries are not conducive to management, so Star Fireworks will not operate independently, but will be handed over to the subsidiary Star Chemical.

Later, Luo Jia arranged for the subsidiary Xingchen Battery to be merged into Xingchen Electric.

After this integration, the hardware department will have four subsidiaries, namely Xingchen Chemical, Xingchen Electric, Xingchen Optics, and Xingchen Smart.

The software department has only one subsidiary, Xingchen Search, but Xingchen Search is not small. In addition to their search engine business, they also have an entertainment platform Sky Eye and a social platform Xingchen Dating. It is a large Internet company with nearly 20,000 employees. .

So far, the company's subsidiaries, except Xingchen Smart, which is a small company, the other four subsidiaries are all giant battleships with over 10,000 employees.

Coupled with the flagship star technology responsible for research and development, a complete star fleet gradually took shape.

Life is busy and happy. As a result of large-scale integration, every subsidiary of Star Technology has the ability to fight alone. Even if the parent company does not come forward, their combat effectiveness is very sturdy.

With Star Technology's current status in the arena, every move has attracted much attention.

News of the large-scale integration quickly spread around the world, and people speculated that Luo Jia's allocation of rights and resources to the subsidiary this time probably meant that the car project was coming to an end, and he wanted to free up his hands to make another major event .

And what is this big thing?

There is a lot of discussion all over the world, some guess it is semiconductor, some guess it is aviation, and some guess it is industrial or cultural industry.

For a time, the world was full of turmoil, and there were different opinions. Foreign people who eat melons are praying that Star Technology must not enter their own industry, otherwise they will really have nothing to eat.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Luo Jia and the local authorities in Shanghai formally signed an agreement to hold a large-scale fireworks show on the banks of the Huangpu River during the Lantern Festival. The Pacific Insurance Group will provide a full guarantee for the show.

As soon as the news came out, Huaxia's enthusiasm was once again ignited.

Everyone wants to know what kind of tricks will be played in the hands of Xingchen Technology, an ancient skill that has been passed down for thousands of years.
