When Bi Qingyun noticed the slight changes in Song Jianwei's expression, he asked with genuine concern, "Jianwei, are things okay? You seem to be pretty upset."
Song Jianwei responded with a low sigh and a grave tone, "President, indeed, there is a matter of concern that we all have to be worried about."
Bi Qingyun's tone changed immediately as he realized that this was probably not a small matter. A sensation of impending doom descended upon him as Song Jianwei said, "Do proceed but be careful with anything that is being proceeded."
Song Jianwei introduced the new JL6A mobile phone with a calm demeanor appropriate to the situation: "The newly launched JL6A mobile phone has encountered a slight hiccup."
Immediately, Bi Qingyun's worry increased, and he asked, "Is there a problem with the product's quality? " in a slightly more anxious tone.
When this topic was brought up, Ren Tao, the observer standing next to them, perked up his ears. As vice president, he wasn't in charge of the mobile phone business, but he still had a strong interest in the recently released JL6A model.
With a wide range of switches and cutting-edge 4G and 5G equipment, Qingyun International was a leading supplier of communication equipment on a global scale. Their cell phone business was extremely important during this time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe renowned Golden Dragon mobile phones were distinguished by the insignia of a painstakingly made golden dragon on their back, a design feature that added to their unmatched reputation. The heritage of these phones entered its sixth generation with the release of the JL6A model, and the market immediately experienced a surge in demand, leading to exceptional sales numbers that served as proof of their appeal.
The mobile phone industry served as a crucial component of Qingyun International's business endeavors, delivering billions in annual sales and making up a sizeable portion of the conglomerate's overall revenue.
Bi Qingyun's attention became more focused when the matter was revealed, and he directly asked Jianwei to "explain the situation."
Song Jianwei continued, "The situation is that the JL6A mobile phone, for the first time, included foreign lithium batteries. We regretfully learned from our foreign supplier that their battery pricing will increase by 20% as of the next month.
The announcement was met with a collective gasp from everyone in the room.
Business veteran Bi Qingyun recognized the seriousness of the problem right away. The timing of this price increase, which coincided with the important launch of the JL6A, suggested a more cunning plan.
We cannot allow such a supplier to manipulate us in this way, Bi Qingyun said with a voice that rang with resolve. Jianwei, I beg you to hold in-person discussions and, if necessary, to go see them in person.
"Yes, President," Song Jianwei agreed, ready to carry out Bi Qingyun's instruction.
However, Ren Tao chimed in, his voice tinged with skepticism, "President, what if Mr. Song's attempts at negotiation prove fruitless?"
The quick and firm response from Bi Qingyun was, "Should that happen, we shall immediately turn to domestic battery providers. Prudence requires us to resist giving in to such pressure.
Ren Tao nodded, pleased with the plan's decisiveness.
This situation highlighted Bi Qingyun's steadfast ideals and honesty. Ren Tao emphasized, "President, if I may point out, our JL6A model benefits from the superior battery life of these imported batteries."
Bi Qingyun knew the truth but didn't budge. Yes, Ren Tao, but the difference isn't that great. We will favor domestic options if our foreign supplier insists on this unjustified hike.
Given the high-end placement and high price of the phone, Bi Qingyun had initially been dubious about foreign batteries but had agreed upon the advice of his team. He was determined to recover from the shock of a 20% price increase being imposed on this essential component.
Bi Qingyun's frustration increased as the conversation went on. His normally cool temperament was marred by this unanticipated emergency.

Overlord carried out Liu Yong's orders precisely in a remote region of the North Pacific Ocean. Weeks passed into days, and the tireless search for the spaceship's debris continued.
Amidst the dirt and debris, the cockpit had previously been hidden. The secret-holding glass was previously hidden, but Overlord's never-ending claws managed to find it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe enormous cockpit covered hundreds of square meters and was built with huge glass panels that offered glances into its sacred interior. The dark gray-black metallic hull of the ship was visible behind the muck-filled layers.
Even after thorough cleaning, an entryway eluded discovery. Liu Yong acknowledged the size of the task and urged Overlord to press on, saying, "Overlord, keep up your efforts. Within this space, there must be an entrance.
Overlord, resolute in its mission, acknowledged Liu Yong's remarks and promised to get through the monotony of this work.
It was not lost on anyone that Overlord had made significant progress while working nonstop. Liu Yong watched the cleared area grow while thinking about how enigmatic the spaceship was.
Liu Yong said, "Overlord, you have already cleared an impressive expanse," in an effort to encourage him. I think this is exactly where the entrance is.
In an effort to please, Overlord started another thorough cleaning process with the goal of discovering the ship's hidden mysteries.
But as the time passed, Overlord's hunger took over. It departed for its underwater den, where a glut of enormous octopuses offered both nutrition and satisfaction.
After its meal, Overlord felt rejuvenated and found shelter on a barren island, soaking up the sun's warmth. With fresh vigour, Overlord prepared to resume its laborious mission.
In order to continue its underwater chase, Overlord came into contact with two enormous ships, which temporarily slowed its progress. In this remote zone, these behemoths stood out and intrigued Overlord.
Overlord calmly watched the two ships from below the waves, drawn to the mystery. The enormous ships were far from the usual shipping lanes, as shown by their immense tonnage.
Overlord was perplexed by their existence and couldn't help but investigate. It approached the imposing spacecraft closer after briefly putting its search for the spaceship's secrets on hold.
The waters around these enormous ships contained mysteries of their own as Overlord examined them, creating a fascinating contrast between its objective and the unanticipated maritime mystery that had surfaced.
