Chapter 263 Wang Hao Steals Technical Data
Wang Hao actually has some ability; after being fired by Shen Wancheng, he quickly found a new job.
However, compared to the treatment he received from the Oriental Group, the salary and benefits at the new company were not as good as those at the Oriental Group. This disparity made Wang Hao increasingly irritable.
On March 1st, Wang Hao returned home and found that his wife, Li Li, had not yet returned home.
When Li Li got home, it was already 7 p.m., and Wang Hao immediately started cursing at her.
Li Li had gotten used to Wang Hao's recent mood swings and knew that explaining would be useless, so she just listened to Wang Hao rant until he had finished before speaking.
"I went shopping today."
As Li Li spoke, she took out a cardboard box from her cloth bag and handed it to Wang Hao.
"Look, I queued for more than an hour at noon to buy this. It cost more than 10,000 yuan. I bought it especially for you."
Upon hearing the price Li Li quoted, Wang Hao started cursing again before even looking at what was in the box.
"More than ten thousand? Do you think it's easy for me to earn money? You spend it like this every day."
"That spendthrift woman, she never treats my money like it's hers."
"Take a look at what it is first, this is very useful."
Wang Hao quickly opened the cardboard box and found a "big brother" (a type of mobile phone) inside. Although he didn't know it was called a "big brother," he guessed it was a mobile phone just by looking at it.
"Mobile phones are on sale now?"
"Yes, they've tested it many times, and it really works. You should try it too."
With a gloomy face, Wang Hao picked up his mobile phone and tried to call his parents back in his hometown.
Before the call connected, Li Li continued, "What was the name of the company you used to work for? I wonder if it was this company that manufactures and sells mobile phones. If it is, then you really made a huge mistake by quitting."
Wang Hao would definitely not tell Li Li about being fired from the company.
A few days ago, Li Li noticed that Wang Hao's schedule had changed. When she asked him about it, Wang Hao lied and said that he had resigned because the company's benefits were not good.
When Wang Hao heard Li Li say that, he glared at her fiercely.
Li Li shut up reluctantly and didn't say another word.
Wang Hao spoke briefly with his parents and then hung up the phone. He then asked Li Li.
How much does this cost?
"."
"Shameless unscrupulous merchants."
While others may not know the production and sales costs of the Oriental Group, Wang Hao has a general idea.
While other companies spend the most on research and development when selling technology products, Dongfang Group spends the least on research and development.
With Shen Wancheng providing the theoretical foundation, the researchers at the Oriental Group only needed to follow the steps to implement the theory.
But looking at this mobile phone now, it's really not cheap at all.
This indicates that the profit margin is very high.
"Mom, is that a mobile phone that Dad is holding?"
Li Li looked at her son, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"You know about mobile phones too?"
"Of course I know, the TV commercials have been playing it so many times. This year, we don't give gifts for the holidays, but if we do, we give a mobile phone."
Wang Hao frowned and looked at Li Li, asking, "Is this mobile phone selling very well?"
"Yes, those who arrived after me have already been notified that the goods are out of stock, and the next batch of stock will have to wait for half a month."
Although Wang Hao only participated in the theoretical derivation of signal tower construction when he was at Dongfang Group, he had also roughly seen the manufacturing research of mobile phones and knew Dongfang Group's output, which was at least nearly 100,000 per month.
The next batch of spot goods will take half a month to arrive, so the number of those sold and pre-sold must be in the tens of thousands.
This Oriental Group almost broke even in just one day.
Wang Hao's anger and resentment at being fired had gradually subsided, but now it rose again.
He should have been a key senior employee at the Oriental Group, receiving substantial bonuses and dividends.
Now it's all gone.
He was originally credited with developing the first mobile phone and mobile signal base station.
Although the Eastern Group disclosed the technical theories to their researchers from the beginning, the researchers in charge of signal towers and mobile phones saw different information and were not allowed to take the information home.
When Wang Hao left the company, someone was watching him the whole time, so he had no chance to secretly take a document with him.
Wang Hao originally thought that even if he brought out these materials, he wouldn't be able to complete the research work by himself, and there was also the threat of a 10 billion yuan penalty for breach of contract, so he didn't have much regret about it.
Seeing that the Oriental Group was making hundreds of millions in a single day, Wang Hao regretted his decision.
Wang Hao lost his appetite for dinner that evening. He ignored his wife and son and went to his study, closed the door, stared at his mobile phone, and let his thoughts race.
The next day, Wang Hao quit his job and spent his days at home making phone calls, subtly inquiring about news about mobile phones, and calling some people he knew who were in the investment business.
Every afternoon when he got off work, Wang Hao would stake out the route that a former researcher in charge of mobile phone research used to take on his way home.
After a while, the two became acquainted.
On a rainy evening, Wang Hao appeared in that neighborhood as usual.
But Wang Hao never saw Qi Dong, the researcher from the Oriental Group, but instead, he was greeted by Qi Dong's wife.
Seeing Qi Dong's wife hurrying out of the alley, Wang Hao took the initiative to go up and greet her.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing out so late? Don't you have a three-year-old child at home alone?"
Qi Dong's wife looked anxious.
"I went to Dongzi Company to pick him up, but he called me saying he had a cold, felt weak, and was alone in the office. Everyone else had left. I was worried and wanted to pick him up, but it wasn't feasible to take a three-year-old child with me, so I left him with a neighbor."
Wang Hao's eyes lit up immediately.
“It’s so late, it’s not right to leave the child at the neighbor’s house. Sister-in-law, you go back first, I’ll go to the company to pick up Dong Ge for you.”
Qi Dong's wife said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, you can go back now."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he rushed off to the Oriental Group Company.
When Wang Hao arrived at the company entrance, he found that even the receptionist had left work, and only two security guards were still at the entrance.
The security guard stopped Wang Hao, who looked anxious.
“Brother, my brother works for the Oriental Group. He called me and said he was sick but was still at the company. My brother’s name is Qi Dong. If you don’t believe me, you can check the company roster, or we can go together to see if the lights are still on in his office.”
The two security guards exchanged a glance, and then let Wang Hao into the company.
Wang Hao hadn't expected everything to go so smoothly, and walked into Dongfang Technology Company with a mix of tension and excitement.
