Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 702 - 258: Sun Dasheng Wields His Sword—A New CATL Era?

Chapter 702: Chapter 258: Sun Dasheng Wields His Sword—A New CATL Era?

The meeting has concluded.

The crowd disperses.

The door is knocked.

In a low voice, Huang Han says, "Minister Li is here."

Sun Dasheng, who had been slightly squinting, opens his eyes: "Oh, their meeting is over? Then let him in."

"Yes." Huang Han bends over and nods, then walks towards the door.

The door opens.

Li Jun immediately spots the boss inside.

Then he jogs over, smiling, "Boss, mission accomplished."

Sun Dasheng also stands up with a smile, shaking hands: "Seems I didn’t misjudge you, well done."

"What are you standing there for? Bring a chair for Minister Li."

"Oh, oh, sorry." Huang Han immediately goes to get a chair.

Li Jun keeps saying, "No need, sorry for the trouble."

He knows that although this person is just a small secretary, one must not offend the doorkeepers of a high official.

Sun Dasheng notices his cautiousness but doesn’t point it out.

Once everyone is seated, he asks, "Did they agree to our terms?"

Li Jun nods: "Of course, after they saw the authoritative third-party test results of our new battery, they were astonished. Even those who were initially hesitant agreed to collaborate with our company immediately."

"It’s just... there’s something I’m not sure if I should mention or not..." Li Jun hesitates as he looks at the young boss.

"Go ahead and speak, we are our own people here, right? What can’t be said among us?" Sun Dasheng signals him to speak freely.

"There’s no outsider here anyway."

"Then I’ll speak bluntly." Li Jun organizes his thoughts: "Our company is quite substantial, logically, we could fully capitalize on this new technological breakthrough by ourselves..."

Before he could finish, Sun Dasheng already understood his implication.

"Monopolizing the market is indeed not wise in the industry, but that typically applies to startups or developing companies. For a large company like ours, monopolizing doesn’t really matter."

Li Jun’s words do have some truth to them.

Sun Dasheng nods in agreement: "That’s rightly said, but I still want to do this. Do you know why?"

He wants to test the person in front of him.

Li Jun furrows his brows.

This is different from what he imagined.

He thought it was the boss exercising caution or habitual thinking of sharing wealth.

Unexpectedly, the boss was aware and deliberate, which seemed off.

Because in large corporations, prioritizing collective advancement isn’t crucial as it is in the early startup phases.

Especially since these industry behemoths tend to monopolize aggressively.

Just consider those trillion-dollar corporations on the stock market.

They’re generally like that.

Although the boss’s company isn’t as famous as those outside, financially, it isn’t lacking.

There’s no reason to share the profits unnecessarily.

It’s just...

Could it be...

Suddenly, something occurs to him.

His eyes brighten as he looks at the boss.

The boss nods with a smile: "That’s right, just as you guessed."

Lines of confusion form on Li Jun’s forehead; how could he know my thoughts before I even speak?

"For this industry to grow better, faster, domestic companies must unite. Scrambling for scraps locally is trivial. True capability is shown by competing abroad, bringing back profits. Such actions not only enhance salaries within the industry but also contribute to the nation, right?"

Li Jun’s head buzzes.

This sounds much like what top leaders say at industry conferences. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Think I’m being overly grandiose?" Sun Dasheng sees through his thoughts.

"No, no." Li Jun quickly denies.

Though he indeed thought so, he couldn’t admit it.

Isn’t that foolish?

But unexpectedly, Sun Dasheng says with a laugh: "Yes, I am being grandiose."

"Huh? What?"

Seeing his confusion.

Sun Dasheng says no more, but Huang Han stands by and explains: "President Sun means this industry is under national support; uniting domestic forces is pleasing to those above."

Oh, I see now.

Li Jun suddenly understands.

So that’s why.

No wonder he’s the boss, and I’m just working for him.

He takes another serious look at the young, beautiful secretary beside the boss, silently reminding himself not to underestimate her — not just a pretty face.

A person with real skills.

"Boss, I understand your intention now, and I know what to do next." Li Jun assures.

"Alright, no need to nitpick over every penny; while ensuring our company’s interests, let some benefits go to various parties in the industry." Sun Dasheng instructs.

"Understood, boss."

...

Watching the spirited Li Jun stepping out, Huang Han says with a smile: "Boss, this investment minister you’ve hired is indeed insightful."

"Oh, how insightful?"

Ah?

Huang Han is momentarily speechless.

Her cheeks flush, seeing the teasing look in the boss’s eyes; she realizes she’s been played.
