In the third generation of the Wei family, although Wei Rulan is a girl, she does not let her eyebrows go. In recent years, the communication equipment business sector she is responsible for has developed rapidly, which has made some foreign competitors jealous.

In particular, as the executive vice president in charge of the group's communication equipment business, Wei Rulan, with the support of Mr. Wei, strongly advocated chip research and development.

Chips are the core components of communication equipment. Although the production and sales scale of communication equipment is very large, Tenglong International has to import chips from abroad in the production process. For example, the chips of smart phones designed and produced by the company are imported.

With the development and growth of the company's scale, the disadvantages of being controlled by others have become more and more prominent, and there is always a feeling that people may be stuck in the throat at any time. Wei Rulan once asked the old man, if one day foreigners don't sell us chips, what should we do?

Old Man Wei has had ups and downs in business all his life, and all kinds of cruel competition have been taken for granted. However, after seriously thinking about the questions raised by my granddaughter, I also have a feeling that I am on my back.

When he went to bed that night, Wei Hailong woke up from his dream, a sense of crisis he hadn't had for many years. The next day, he resolutely decided to invest heavily in the research and development of core technologies in the field of communications, including chip technology, to ensure that the company gradually realized its technological independence.

Tenglong International has close business relations with the world's chip giants, as well as other manufacturers of communication equipment components. Once the company's secret research and development of chips is exposed, it will inevitably cause resistance from these suppliers.

In particular, those chip giants will try their best to organize Tenglong International to conduct chip research and development, so as to maintain their technological hegemony and obtain high profits.

Therefore, from the beginning of Tenglong International's chip research and development project, the relevant work was listed as a high level of confidentiality of the company.

Wei Hailong pondered for a long time and said: "This kidnapping incident should have little to do with the research and development of chip projects. If it is for a chip project, commercial espionage is more effective than kidnapping. Moreover, although Rulan is in charge of R&D, she is not personally involved in technology development, and she cannot directly access the core technology we have obtained. In addition, within Tenglong International, there are only five of you and I who know that Rulan is in charge of the chip research and development project. Therefore, this kidnapping should not be for the chip project. ”

He picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and continued: "Of course, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. Now it seems that the kidnappers were there to seek money. But until all the hole cards are revealed, we can't figure out their true intentions. “

As soon as the conversation changed, Old Man Wei continued: "Chuan Zhi, the more major events you encounter, the more you have to calm down. Do you still remember the famous couplet written by Qing Weng Tongyong?' I know that you are concerned and chaotic, but the more you are at this time, the more you must be able to calm your mind like water, so that you can deal with it calmly. ”

"Yes, Dad, I've been a little impatient since I received the news. Wei Chuanzhi said with some shame.

Wei Rulan is his daughter, and it is normal for him to be anxious when his daughter is kidnapped.

Suddenly, with the turn of the doorknob, the sound of the door opening sounded. Then, I saw the bodyguard guarding the door let a person in.

When Wei Chuanzhi saw the comer, he stood up respectfully, greeted him and said, "Dad, you're back." ”

In came an old man, thin but straight. With short white hair on his head, his roots stand upright, and his eyes are piercing, giving people a feeling of being full of energy. If you look closely, you will see that the nails of his hands are about a centimeter long.

It's a pair of hands like the scythe of death. The person who came was Wei Hailong's brother-in-law, Fan Canghai, who was known as the 'Ghost Shadow Hand' by the people of the rivers and lakes.

Fan Canghai followed Wei Hailong all his life, not only as his third brother, but also as his bodyguard, and as his son and daughter. If it weren't for him, Wei Hailong didn't know how many times he would have died.

For so many years, in the Wei family, in addition to Old Man Wei, everyone respected Fan Canghai the most. This respect not only stems from Fan Canghai's unfathomable kung fu, but also from his fierce loyalty to this family.

In Tenglong International Group, Fan Canghai holds 17% of the shares. From the perspective of shareholding ratio, he is also one of the major shareholders of Tenglong International Group, second only to Mr. Wei. It is precisely because of this that he is also a frequent visitor on the list of China's richest people.

Of course, Fan Canghai knew very well that he was not the material for managing the company, so he never thought about the operation and management of the company he wanted to participate in.

For Wei Chuanzhi, Fan Canghai has another identity, that is, his father-in-law. In fact, Fan Canghai is not only his father-in-law, but also the father-in-law of his eldest brother Wei Chuanren.

Fan Canghai had no children under his knees, only two daughters, who were married to Wei Hailong's eldest son and fourth son. This is not a deliberate matchmaking between the two families, it is completely the result of their free love.

So, in every sense of the word, they are family.

After Fan Canghai and Mr. Wei took a special plane to Wushi, they went out directly to investigate as soon as they got off the plane. Wei Rulan is not only the granddaughter of Old Man Wei, but also his granddaughter. The anger in his heart was no less than that of Old Man Wei.

Fan Canghai patted Wei Chuanzhi on the shoulder and said, "Chuanzhi, don't worry. A few years ago, I asked Zhuge Qingxuan to show her, and he said that Rulan, this girl, is rich and noble, and although there is a small catastrophe this year, she will definitely be fine. ”

The first part of the sentence he said was indeed said by Zhuge Qingxuan, and the final part of 'but it will be fine' was added by himself, also to comfort Wei Chuanzhi.

Old Man Wei picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for Fan Canghai, and then said, "Third brother, come over for tea first." “

"Big brother, the identity of these kidnappers has been clarified, a group of bandits who have fled from the northeast. was pursued by the local police in the northeast, and there was nowhere to hide, so he fled to the side of Wushi. ”

Fan Canghai took a sip of water and continued: "Judging from the current situation, where did this group of kidnappers know Rulan's identity and want to extort a sum of money from our family, so they carried out this kidnapping. Man dies for money, and birds die for food. This group of people has human lives under their hands, and they are a group of guys who want money and don't want their lives. Therefore, before she gets the money, Rulan should be fine. “

"In addition, I went to several temporary residences of this group in Wushi, but they were not there. I think they must have taken refuge in the mountains. I'm coming back to tell you about the situation, and I plan to go to the Tianshan Mountains later. Huzi and a few of them have already passed. ”

After speaking, Fan Canghai drank all the tea in the cup, got up and was about to leave. He comforted Wei Chuanzhi not to worry, but in fact, he was even more anxious in his heart.

Old Man Wei hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Third brother, don't worry. You also said just now, since this group of people is trying to make money, then Rulan is safe for the time being. Moreover, Huzi and they have already passed, and they will definitely call back if there is a situation. With their skills, I believe that the other party should not have much of a problem. “

Fan Canghai accepted seven apprentices, and Huzi was the nickname of the eldest apprentice Fan Zhenhu.

Huzi was brought back from the orphanage by her wife. Her wife felt that she had not given him a son, and she always felt sorry for him, so she adopted a boy from the orphanage and raised him as a son. Therefore, Huzi can also be regarded as the adopted son of Old Man Fan.

After Fan Canghai sat down, Old Man Wei continued: "Third brother, according to the news that Chuanzhi learned, Rulan was probably deceived by a person named Tang Xiaohat to go up the mountain, of course, it cannot be ruled out that this Tang Xiaohat is also a victim. When Rulan and the others met the kidnappers, this Tang Xiaohao escaped in the scuffle, and there is no news yet. ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "What I wonder is, how did this group of kidnappers know Rulan's identity? Especially how did they know that Rulan would go up the mountain at that time? If this Tang Xiaomao participated in this kidnapping, then these problems can be explained, that is, these information were told to the kidnappers by Tang Xiaomao, and if Tang Xiaomao is also a victim, then these questions need to be pondered. “

Fan Canghai thought for a while and said, "Big brother, I think..."

Just as Fan Canghai was about to speak, there was another knock on the door. Subsequently, a bodyguard guarding the door came in and said, "Master, Wei Rucheng, the chairman of Delong Group, asks to see you." ”

The three of them also wanted to know more information at this time, after all, Wei Rucheng had been operating in Xinzhou for many years, and Wushi was also his base camp, so he knew more about the local situation. Moreover, his son was also kidnapped by the kidnappers, and it was also very necessary to communicate some information with each other.

Hearing the bodyguard's report, Old Man Wei immediately said, "Hurry up and invite Chairman Wei in." Then, he glanced at Wei Chuanzhi again and motioned for him to greet Wei Rucheng.

Wei Rucheng knew the two old men, and after entering the door, he greeted the two of them first, and then took the initiative to say without waiting for the three of them to ask:

"I also got a blackmail call from the kidnappers an hour ago. During the call, I asked to speak with Wei Chao on the phone, but the kidnappers refused. Therefore, the situation of Wei Chao and Rulan is still unclear. However, I have already found out that they were deceived by Tang Xiaohat to go up the mountain. Tang Xiaomao was coerced by the kidnappers and participated in the kidnapping. ”

Seeing that Wei Rucheng was so sure, Wei Chuanzhi asked, "Why is Wei Dong so sure?"

"My people have found the bodies of Don's family, in an abandoned factory on the outskirts. His wife and son died two days ago, and their throats were cut directly. Tang Xiaomao may have been shot by kidnappers in the mountains in the afternoon, struggling to think about his family, and died at the gate of the factory. “

After Wei Rucheng answered Wei Chuanzhi's question, he continued:

"I personally went to the factory to check, it should be the place where the kidnappers temporarily detained Tang Xiaomao's family before, and I didn't find any valuable clues. The police have been notified, but they probably won't find anything either. ”

"What's the usual situation with this Tang Xiaohat?" asked Fan Canghai.

"Don is a local tour guide. He used to collect medicine in the mountains for a living, and later came to the Tianshan Mountains to explore and travel, because he was familiar with the Tianshan Mountains, he became a tour guide. Usually it is a duty, and most of the time I pick up jobs in places with a lot of people from other places, such as bars or hotels in the city. “

After saying this, Wei Rucheng changed his words and said with a worried face: "Recently, some unknown people have come to Wushi, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with it. In addition, I heard that Wang Fusheng, who is in the Hetian jade business in Wushi, is not **, and his subordinate He Kun seems to be preparing to do something. “

Wei Rucheng said that the three people present did not know, so after listening, they asked Wei Rucheng to introduce the current situation in Wushi in detail. Only when you know more information can you make a judgment.
