Chapter 1244
"Alright, I won't bug you," Burl whispered.
On his way back, he kept chatting with Kenny online.
Kenny sent him a ton of info.
Burl read it all carefully.
The first day Darwin left Fiona, he was a mess.
He wouldn't eat and wouldn't let anyone near him.
Fiona really wanted to rush back, grab Darwin from the research institute, and take him home.
But that was just wishful thinking.
On the second day after Darwin left, Fiona took Burl to Valcia.
Kenny had already given Fiona a heads-up. Even though these two companies were willing to meet, folks from Elysium looked down on Armie, who relied heavily on them, but they were also super cautious.
Over the years, they'd watched Armie rise quickly in various areas, even surpassing them in many things and technologies.
They were also pretty scared of the Armie people.
They knew that even though Armie had made medical chips, their revenue from chips would take a hit in the future.
So, they felt more and more cornered.
In one day, Fiona, along with a few serious-looking guys, toured the factory.
It was clear Kenny had communicated that they wanted to buy the technology.
But these folks had other plans and kept pushing Fiona to stockpile chips before the big lockdown, talking about an $800 million order right off the bat.
They didn't mention selling the technology, so Fiona just stalled until the afternoon.
These guys lost their patience and bluntly said, "We won't sell you the technology, nor will we provide any guidance. The only thing Armie people can do now is buy more chips to get through the chip winter. Otherwise, you'll face a long-term chip shortage."
Fiona smiled politely at them.
Then, she raised her finger and replied in fluent local language, "Armie people have always believed that harmony brings prosperity, but to achieve harmony, both sides must show it. All I see in you is disgusting arrogance and rudeness. The same chips are not only available from you. On behalf of the Rhoads Group and Quantum Ventures Group, I officially inform you that starting next quarter, we will no longer purchase your company's chips."
The folks from Country D were stunned and dumbfounded, then lowered their voices and angrily said, "Then you can wait for a long chip winter!"
Fiona laughed.
"Sir, you are so ordinary, yet so confident. Elysium is not the only chip manufacturer. You know very well how much the Rhoads Group and Quantum Ventures Group purchase together. With your profit-driven mindset, who can resist you?" After saying that, Fiona signaled to Burl and Christopher behind her, "Let's go."
The folks from Country D did not expect this at all.
They were used to being arrogant, and Armie people were very polite abroad. Even as customers, they had to endure the arrogance of these foreigners. So, they treated Fiona the same way they treated Armie people before.
But this time, they clearly hit a wall.
They hurriedly said, "Chelsea, please stop, I apologize for my arrogance, please do not cancel the order, we can still sit down and talk."
