Chapter 192: This prodigal son is no ordinary person (Part 1)

In San Francisco's Union Square, at the private restaurant of St. Nella, Tang Yu, Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er gathered together again is much more stable and faster than average websites, and it is full text and no ads.

'Cousin Tang Yi and cousin Wan'er, I remember I only spoke to you yesterday. That Zhou Ming will definitely find a way to attend the Fortel Technology Exhibition, and you all promised to stop him. But why is it that now, Fortel's CEO, Cook, has suddenly interrupted a meeting in New York and flown back to Palo Alto to personally sign a contract with that Zhou Ming? Can one of you please give me an explanation?'

Tang Yu asked Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er with clenched teeth. His suppressed anger was evident in his words.

In response , Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er exchanged glances, before Tang Yi said, 'I say cousin Tang Yu, you are mistaken about my cousin Wan'er and me. We have already done our best. As a member of the Tang family, I think you ≡≡≡, □.↙◇.$ also must know that in order to avoid succession disputes in the family, all family members who openly interfere with the assessment of other family members will lose their inheritance rights. Therefore, we can only do it in secret.'

Tang Yi spread his arms and sighed, then said, 'I did ask the security manager at the Stanford Conference Center, and he did his best!'

Tang Wan said, 'Cousin Tang Yu, I don't think it's reasonable for you to blame us, because we never thought that Zhou Ming could do such a thing! Throwing money around like that almost drove the entire Stanford Conference Center crazy.'

'It was like that. The security manager even told me that the men were fighting over the money and the women were taking off their clothes for it. It was a mad scene.' Tang Yi followed Tang Wan'er's words and continued, but at the end he looked at Tang Yu and asked, 'Cousin Tang Yu, Wan'er and I, regardless of whether we succeed or fail, at least we have done something. What about you? Haven't you placed people around that Zhou Ming? Why haven't I seen him do anything?'

Listening to watching Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er sing in unison, and finally turning the spearhead towards his own actions, made Tang Yu so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging, but his character still made him finally hold back.

'Have you forgotten that Tang Ran and Zhou Ming immediately cleaned up as soon as they took over the company? The people I My spies are there to be used at critical moments, not just casually,' Tang Yu patiently explained.

'Cousin Tang Yu, we were just asking casually, you didn't have to answer us so seriously. Don't you trust us as the eldest of our generation?' Tang Yi said lightly.

Tang Wan'er also said, 'Yes, cousin Tang Yu, in fact, this time it was just that we didn't expect that guy Zhou Ming to be such a spendthrift, actually throwing away 30 million at the Stanford Conference Center. I think I've seen and heard of many spendthrifts, but like him, it was the first time I heard of it. I believe the person in charge of Fortel there was also shocked by his move, which is why he agreed.'

Originally Tang Yi's words did not make Tang Yu spit blood, but later Tang Wan'er's words did make him feel much better. He thought about it and said what he had heard: 'The person in charge of Fortel there is Vice President Barber. What really shocked him was not the thirty, but the budget of eight hundred proposed by Zhou Ming.'

'What What? An 800 million budget? Is Zhou Ming trying to help Tang Ran seize the inheritance and has gone crazy?'

Even Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er, the third and fourth heirs in the Tang family, were also shocked when they heard this figure, because no matter how influential the Fortune Tech Expo was, they would not be like this! After all, This side spent 800 yuan on a budget just to win a 200 yuan project. This deal is a loss no matter how you look at it!

And the successor is supposed to lead the family to greater heights, not come here to lose money like this. Then isn't what he's doing completely the wrong thing? What on earth was Zhou Ming thinking?

Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er both thought the same thing, but Tang Yu said at that moment, 'I know you all don't understand what he's doing, but what's more important now is not where he got all that money, is it?'

With Tang Yu's rhetorical question left Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er stunned. This was something they had not thought of, and indeed was the part that was most easily overlooked. They As the heirs of the Tang family, each of them had their own business, so spending a little more money was no big deal. But Tang Ran and Zhou Ming were different. The only family business they owned was the bankrupt Jieke Company. How could they have so much money?

Could it be could it be that their background was not as simple as it seemed and that they had ulterior motives for fighting for the inheritance this time?

They all thought the same thing.

At the same time in the meeting room at the Stanford Convention Center, Zhou Ming and Cheng Qian were sitting in their chairs waiting for the final contract to be signed. Barber had gone out after receiving a phone call, and now they were alone.

'Vice President Zhou, do we really have to spend $800 on such a temporary booth?' Cheng Qian asked.

Zhou Ming looked at him indifferently and asked in return, 'Do you feel that spending 800 to compete for a 200 project is a bit like trading a watermelon for a handful of sesame seeds?'

Cheng Qian laughed awkwardly, scratching his head, a little at a loss for words. At this time, Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed, 'If General Manager Cheng Manager, if you only see the 200 projects of Suffolk, then the 800 we spend is a natural loss, but if you could just look a little further ahead?'

Cheng Qian was stunned at the time, because he had no idea what Zhou Ming meant by just looking a little further ahead.

There was no to do, Zhou Ming had to give him a hint: 'These 200 projects are just our monthly sales. Are you going to let Jieke close down after just one month?'

Zhou Ming's words were like a sudden realisation that immediately woke Cheng Qian up. He hung his head in shame.

'If If it were just this 200-item project, we wouldn't need to attend such a high-tech exhibition. Even if time is tight, there are many other ways to impress the judges at the Fokker company. After all, three days to prepare for an exhibition is really too rushed.'

Zhou Ming Then he changed the subject and said, 'But this Futai Technology Exhibition is not an ordinary exhibition. It is a large-scale exhibition focusing on technology and the future. It is very well-known, and the companies that come to are also very famous high-tech companies, so now that we can also appear at this kind of technology exhibition, doesn't it mean that we are on the same level as other high-tech companies? So once if others get this message, will it make it easier for us to get more orders from Jackel?'

'Vice President Zhou, you are right, it is my narrow perspective,' Cheng Qian said a little disheartened.

Cheng Qian not be disheartened. In the past, although he knew there was a gap between him and Zhou Mingzhi, he thought it could be made up for. But after this incident, he realised that he really is far behind Zhou Ming.

First of all, not to mention, just take the 800 yuan to participate in this Fortel Technology Exhibition, I would never have the determination to do so. Or even if I could, I would not have been able to negotiate a good deal with Fortel for the 800 yuan.

The reason is very simple is simple: I had to participate in the exhibition at short notice, and Futai had its own relevant systems in place, so it was very difficult to join. Besides, the people at Futai are not stupid. If you suddenly ask to participate in the exhibition without any prior notice and are willing to pay such a high price, ask to participate in the exhibition on short notice and are willing to pay such a high price. They will definitely suspect your motives. You have to know that Barber still knows about Jackal.

In that case increases the difficulty of negotiations. With such a tight schedule, you might as well be taken advantage of by Fortescue Metals Group and driven to a remote place to guard against being ripped off.

These are real problems that are likely to be encountered. However, after Zhou Ming's interpretation of the spoilt brat, the situation suddenly changed. They would think that Zhou Ming is simply rich and willful, and is willing to pay a high price to participate in the exhibition just for his own pleasure.

Therefore, in order to keep such a big spender as long as possible, they could only say nice things and offer favours.

Thinking about this, Cheng Qian couldn't help but admire Zhou Ming for deliberately pretending to be a spendthrift. It looked ridiculous, but in reality it contained great wisdom.

At this moment the door to the meeting room suddenly opened and a bald man walked in. As they had been introduced earlier, Ming Zhou and Qian Cheng knew that he was the president of Fortel Corporation, Kirk Cook, who had hurried back from New York at the news. The vice president in charge of the Fortel Technology Exhibition, Bob Barber, was right behind him.

Kirk Cook came over and shook Ming Zhou's hand cordially: 'Mr. Ming Zhou, the new vice president of Jieke Company, and Mr. Qian Cheng, the general manager, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.'

Ming Zhou said very said, 'That's fine. On the contrary, it was Mr. Cook who caused you trouble, flying all the way back from New York. I didn't partner with Mr. Barber to sell this technology exhibition.'

Cook laughed said with a wry smile, 'That's not quite how it is. It's just my simple respect for Mr. Zhou Ming.'

Zhou Ming waved his wave of his large hand and said, 'Let's not talk about that. I don't mean to blame Mr. Cook in any way. Let's get down to business. My company, Jacko, wants to exhibit.'

'Please Mr. Zhou Ming can rest assured that since I have returned from New York, there is definitely no problem with this matter.' Cook then changed the subject and asked, 'I'm just curious why you, Mr. Zhou Ming, insist on participating in the exhibition now?'

'Of course it is to get Jieke out there!' said Ming Zhou. 'Isn't the Fortel Technology Exhibition the most influential and high-tech exhibition in the entire Silicon Valley, with many large companies participating? Then if I just get Jieke to participate in this exhibition too, and we'll be on an equal footing with those other high-tech giants, won't we?'

Cook froze for a moment, as if he had never experienced such an unusual way of negotiating. Suddenly, he was a little caught off guard and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Ming then said, 'There's one more thing. In order to highlight my company Jackel, I also need to co-exhibit with other high-tech companies, which means I can use the names of those other big companies.'

Cook was shocked stunned. He had never expected Ming to make such a request, and immediately frowned and shook his hand, saying, 'This is not possible. Although we are hosting the exhibition, there is no mandatory requirement for cooperation with other exhibitors. All companies participate in the exhibition on a voluntary basis...'

Before Cook could finish hadn't finished, Zhou Ming added, 'I know I can't let my friends lose out, so I've also prepared 250. As far as I know, Fortel has a special technology fund, right? I can donate to this fund! Or I can just give it to Mr. Cook or Mr. Barber, as long as you guys ask.'
