Chapter 194: What's this Zhou Ming's background?

Leaving the Stanford Conference Center, Zhou Ming and Cheng Qianchao walked towards the parking lot. As they walked along, Zhou Ming still felt a little emotional. After all, he was the Steve Jobs who had created the magical brand! Although Cook mentioned Apple, I had thought that I might meet this legendary tycoon who had led Apple to success, but thinking about it and actually meeting him are two very different concepts.

But Ming Zhou thought about how much he had matured in the three years since his rebirth. If it had been the Ming Zhou of three years ago, he would have been very excited to suddenly meet such a famous person as Steve Jobs, but now he was just quite moved by the legend, and that was about it.

Suddenly, it felt very quiet. Zhou Ming turned his head and saw that Cheng Qian still seemed to be in a daze. This made Zhou Ming tease him, 'What? Now that you're out, you still can't believe that we've already participated in the technology exhibition and are going to cooperate with Apple?'

'Yes, it's all like a dream!' Cheng Qian nodded, but then shook his head. 'No, even in a dream it would be hard to be this perfect. It's as if God had written the script. All we have to do is execute. Vice President Zhou, even if I'm a firm atheist, I have to wonder if you're using some kind of magic.'

Zhou Ming shrugged at this nonsense and said, 'Maybe,' and Cheng Qian continued, 'There is also the cooperation with Apple. I have worked with Apple in my previous company. Although it is not the world's number one company, it is also a very famous computer company in Silicon Valley. Especially in the eyes of investors, Apple is the company with the greatest investment potential. So even though Apple's business is not doing well at the moment, its stock price has not plummeted.'

'So do you believe that if Jack Cooper can cooperate with Apple, it will immediately make Jack Cooper famous in the technology industry?' asked Ming Zhou.

Facing this question, Qian Cheng nodded, but Ming Zhou sighed and said, 'If it can be, of course, that would be best, but don't forget, Mr. just said that he is no longer with Apple, he just still owns his own shares, and was stripped of decision-making power by the board of directors a long time ago.'

Cheng Qian froze for a moment: 'Vice President Zhou, are you worried that Apple will not accept this proposal? I don't think so, do you?'

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'I hope so.' Then they drove back to the company. Together, they went to the president's office to report the situation to Tang Ran. After briefly explaining his own business, Cheng Qian tactfully left, leaving Zhou Ming and Tang Ran alone.

After Cheng Qian left, Tang Ran suddenly let out a long sigh. 'Ming, I know about this company, Appier. It's a relatively influential technology company in Silicon Valley. How much did you pay to convince Steve Jobs?'

'It is expected that Jobs will be given an investment of around 10 million to 30 million to operate his future projects. As for Apple, since Jobs has now left Apple, it is impossible to judge,' Ming answered truthfully.

After hearing Zhou Ming's answer, Tang Ran let out another sigh. She then stood up, walked up to Zhou Ming, took his hand and said, 'Brother Ming, I don't want this project anymore. Let's just be honest and do this business, okay?'

Upon hearing her say this, Zhou Ming immediately understood what she meant: 'Ran, you think I spend too much money, don't you?'

Tang Ran lowered her head and muttered, 'Brother Ming, I know I shouldn't be so controlling. You can spend your money however you like, but there's really no need to do this for me. I don't know anything about the Tang family, and I don't want to inherit anything from the Tang family. I just

(This chapter is incomplete, please turn the page)

I just came to San Francisco to relax. You didn't need to spend so much money on me. I know it's not easy for you to earn money.'

At first, Tang Ran just said in a low voice, but later she began to choke up. Zhou Ming hugged her tenderly and said to her, 'Ran, you don't need to worry. Ming is now so poor that the only thing he has left is money . If I don't spend it, I really don't know what to do with it. To me, these millions and tens of millions are just meaningless numbers. Just think of it as a few dollars.'

'But that's tens of millions of dollars! How can you just think of it as a few dollars? Ming, you just know how to tease me,' Tang Ran said, raising her head and pouting her cherry lips in dissatisfaction.

'Ran, you've misunderstood Ming. I really didn't lie to you,' Zhou Ming said, 'And I will spend this money because I think it is worth it. Of course, what I mean by worth it is not for you, but simply refers to the investment in this project. Don't look at the amount of money I've put out, but don't you think I will get back even more in the future?'

'Is that true? You've invested tens of millions of dollars, and you can get back even more?' Tang Ran said in surprise.

Zhou Ming smiled confidently, 'Of course. Don't tell me you still don't trust me?'

Meanwhile, at the Tang ancestral home on the island of An Island in San Francisco Bay, several important elderly members of the Tang Clan Association were sitting around a table in a rather solemn atmosphere.

'Brother Jingsheng, I can accept that Tang Ran is the first-in-line successor of our Tang family, but that Zhou Ming is of dubious origin. I very much doubt his motives in helping Tang Ran, so I think that even if Tang Ran performs well in this performs well in this assessment, she should be stripped of her inheritance, or we should get rid of that Zhou Ming and let our Tang family heir assess for himself.'

An old man with white hair and a grey beard said with some emotion, and he was joined by the others: 'Yes, that Zhou Ming is definitely up to no good. He can come up with tens of millions of yuan at a time , he must be someone from another consortium. This time, he deliberately approached Tang Ran with the aim of targeting our Tang family. As members of the Tang family, we must prevent this from happening...'

As the head of the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall Association, Tang Jingsheng sat quietly, watching and listening to the commotion of these people.

In fact Tang Jingsheng had already predicted this outcome before convening the clan meeting. After all, that Zhou Ming could come up with tens of millions of dollars to participate in attend the Fotek Technology Exhibition. Even he was shocked when he first heard the news, not to mention the idle people at the clan meeting.

Tang Jingsheng that Tang Huiyin seemed to have stayed out of the spat, so Tang Jingsheng gestured for silence and then asked Tang Huiyin, 'Huiyin, what do you think?'

Tang Huiyin was not surprised being named, Tang Huiyin was not at all surprised. She just tidied her hair a little and said, 'I think it's still too early to say anything.'

Tang Huiyin's This argument threw everyone for a loop. Everyone looked at her in surprise, not understanding what she meant. Someone even challenged her directly: 'Tang Huiyin, you say it's too early to say what you think, but when do you think it's appropriate? When the family is inherited by an outsider, and our Tang family becomes the laughing stock of everyone else? In that case, you will be the biggest sinner in the Tang family!'

Facing this very serious accusation, Tang Huiyin was not moved, but quietly retorted, 'If it were you, and you wanted to deceive the Tang family fortune, would you tell the world in a high-profile manner that you are very rich, and is there some other ulterior motive?'

Tang Huiyin's retort made everyone

(this chapter is not not finished, please turn the page)

everyone shut up, because that was indeed the case. If they were in the position of trying to seize the Tang family's wealth, they would definitely pretend to be harmless, and revealing their strength too soon would only make the other party wary.

'This could also be that Zhou Ming is too young and has no solution to the current situation, so he can only choose to pay his way out. It could also be that he doesn't know our Tang family's sources of information and thinks that he can deceive us with this trick...'

Someone else guessed that he just doesn't have the same confidence as before. Tang Huiyin said disdainfully, 'You're the only one who's stupid. That Zhou Ming is much smarter than you!'

Tang Huiyin's said as if she had stepped on his tail, the man immediately jumped up and pointed at Tang Huiyin, questioning who she was calling stupid, looking as if he was about to start a fight if they didn't agree.

Tang Huiyin sneered disdainfully, lacking even the interest to speak to him.

The man still wanted to say anything else. This was Tang Jingsheng who stepped forward and said, 'Okay, everyone, let's stop talking!'

Although Tang Jingsheng's words were spoken in a very consultative tone, his tone of voice was unmistakable, and after he spoke, everyone else also sensibly shut up.

Tang Jingsheng said 'We were all very surprised that Zhou Ming could suddenly come up with 10 million to pay Fortune Company, but I agree with Huiyin that it would be unwise to act rashly when the situation is still unclear. Otherwise, it would be very naive.'

Tang Jingsheng then then said, 'Of course, we can't pretend that Zhou Ming's ability to come up with 10 million yuan all of a sudden never happened.'

At this point Tang Jingsheng paused for a moment before finally making a decision: 'So I think it's best if we don't get too involved for now. The assessment of Tang Ran is still continuing, but we now have an additional task, which is to find out what this Zhou Ming is really all about. If he is just simply trying to help Tang Ran with the assessment, then it doesn't matter, but if he has any other ideas, I won't let him off lightly!'

Although the Tang family's ancestral hall clan association is ostensibly a place for equal discussion like a council, but as the head of the association, Tang Jingsheng's word still carries a lot of weight. So once he made a decision, the Tang family's intelligence network immediately began to operate, and all the attention was directed at one person, Zhou Ming, who had accompanied Tang Ran on the assessment.

However, Zhou Ming did not know this, but even if he knew, it would be fine, because there was nothing in his information that was shameful.

As for the Tang family, if they wanted to do something to him, it would be difficult to do it to a battle-hardened general, and if they were too blatant, then Zhou Ming believed that the motherland behind him would not sit idly by. How say that he still has so much money in his hands? Not to mention that several leaders like him very much, even if they hate him, they still have to protect him well for the good of the country.

At this moment, had already arrived at the Stanford Conference Center, because Steve Jobs was waiting for him here.

'In fact, I really want to talk to you about the status of my project, but for you, you also really want to reach a partnership agreement with Apple, so let's go over there first. I will respect your opinion,' Jobs told Ming.

Ming replied with a smile and replied, 'I don't think there's any conflict between the two things, because Jobs, you can totally tell me about your future projects on the way, and I think I'll be very interested. As for Apple, I think it should be fine with you, the founder, here.'

Jobs shrugged: 'Maybe.'
