Created in China Episode 34 (Ending) Recap
> Created in China Recap
For several days in a row, Lu Huadong confined himself at home and did not go to work. His father, Lu Guangfa, suddenly came to him, and seeing his son's effeminately appearance, was disappointed in him. He then took him directly to the Tengfei factory. Lu Guangfa got straight to the point, stating his intention to acquire Tengfei, which caught Lu Huadong off guard, as he clearly had not been aware of this matter.
Liu Jun knew that Lu Guangfa was a businessman entirely driven by profit, and that Tengfei would no longer invest in high-tech manufacturing under his control. He flatly rejected the generous acquisition agreement. Lu Guangfa frankly stated that Tengfei would not last much longer because he had already started a price war with Tengfei, which would result in zero sales performance for Luo Qing's team going forward, and all former long-term clients had canceled their collaborations.
To this end, Lu Guangfa used Qian Hongming's suicide as an example to warn Liu Jun not to drive himself to a dead end. Lu Huadong was furious at his father's actions today, as he had clearly intended to discuss cooperation with Liu Jun earlier, but suddenly took advantage of the situation to loot. As soon as Lu Guangfa left, Liu Jun was informed that all clients had ceased cooperation.
Song Yunhui felt reluctant upon learning this, not wanting to see such a strong enterprise mercilessly swept away by the financial crisis. That evening, Liu Jun took out all his property deeds, preparing to mortgage them to get through the difficult period. Cui Bingbing also offered to use her saved initial shares to support her husband, but Liu Jun did not want to implicate Cui Bingbing, stating he had a way to solve it himself.
On the other hand, Lu Guangfa, failing to entice them, resorted to coercion, using City No. 1 Machine to seize Tengfei's mid-to-low-end market orders, and sent an acquisition letter to Tengfei's internal shareholders, sowing discord between them and Liu Jun, making Liu Jun isolated and helpless. He firmly believed that no one would sacrifice their interests for righteousness, especially since everyone had a family to support.
Soon, everyone had successively received the acquisition letter, and seeing its contents and generous terms, they all fell silent. Lu Huadong felt very uneasy thinking about Liu Jun's predicament, but he was powerless to stop his father's actions, also falling into confusion and helplessness. Chen Qifan comforted Lu Huadong that things could not be changed for now, and proposed marriage to him, making him weep tears of joy.
Liu Jun walked around Tengfei, then went alone to the lake where Qian Hongming committed suicide and lingered for a long time. Fu Qiufang, thinking Liu Jun was contemplating something rash, rushed forward to stop him, but Liu Jun said he was just feeling gloomy and came here alone to clear his head. After returning to his car, Liu Jun, filled with guilt, called Song Yunhui, feeling indebted for his years of support and help.
Song Yunhui still chose to wait and see, believing that Liu Jun and the shareholders could face the storm together. The next morning, Liu Jun signed and sealed the acquisition agreement. Just as he was about to go meet Lu Guangfa, he found everyone standing outside the door, all expressing their commitment to overcome the difficulties with Liu Jun, and tearing up the acquisition letter in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jun was deeply moved and ultimately gave up selling the factory. Liu Shitang also took out all his property deeds for his son's emergency use, believing they could surely overcome this hurdle. Lu Huadong did not receive a call after a long wait, and while slightly disappointed, he wasn't particularly so, as he at least saw that in this industry, there was still a group of people who persevered for their dreams.
In the following days, the Tengfei factory gradually got back on track. Lu Huadong and Chen Qifan sent Liu Jun a wedding invitation. Qian Hongying was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits. Liu Shitang frequently visited her in prison and brought photos of Xiao Taozi. Shen Jiali's mental state also gradually recovered, and the elderly couple were very relieved to see this.
Just then, the country introduced policies to assist small and medium-sized enterprises. Liu Jun seized this opportunity to go to Germany for business talks, unexpectedly running into Lin Yue at the airport. Although Lin Yue highly appreciated Liu Jun's business acumen, he suggested accumulating more real estate to strengthen his power while the market recovered. However, Liu Jun still maintained his original aspiration.
With departure imminent, Lin Yue recalled that it had been ten years since Liu Jun returned from Germany. Liu Jun remembered the bits and pieces of his return to China back then, fortunate that he hadn't given up. Lin Yue also believed that the future of Made in China belonged to people like Liu Jun.
