A week had passed since Hao Ren held the press conference. Although Thunder Technologies was not the biggest and the most famous na in terms of robot, but they were certainly ahead of the other companies.
Within an hour of the press conference, many big companies and big people placed orders for a massive number of units, they did not mind the wait ti, but they just wanted to place the order and get an estimated wait ti.
Lynn and the HR departnt head have been collaborating and they have set up a call center for the consurs and the number of calls for enquiry had just reached the level where the operatives were slacked. Even though the center has been operating for twenty four hours in two shifts, it was still flooded.
The curiosity among people was just so high. Markus allowed a few Mytube content creators to visit the factory and apart from the computer coding, they saw how the House-bot was manufactured. The fa of Thunder Technologies was flying through the roof, but at this mont, the owner of the company did not seem to care about anything else in the world.
He sat down silently and looked at the gray-haired middle-aged man across him.
He was eting Dion, the person who was drawn to him because of the golden manager ticket. The middle-aged man did not co over for a re interview or a chit chat. This person had co over with a complete dossier of potential investnt projects and also many small plants that could be acquired.
Hao Ren had been reading the dossier for a couple of hours, he sighed and said, "Mister Dion, I must say that you are very good at what you do. However, I thought that you wanted to be a investnt manager, and have a firm of your own, but I see that so of these places are focused on industrial growth."
Dion nodded and replied, "Mister Hao, when I was looking into your main businesses, I found that most of your inco cos from robots which are manufactured in the factories. If you beco my boss then it would be one of my responsibilities that you put your money in projects that can multiply your inco. Thus, I selected a few factories that could be bought out."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "At the mont, I am actively buying out the stocks of the Crown International and trying to assimilate it into Thunder technologies. If you are willing, then this will be your first task. I want to hold a major percentage and voting rights in that organization within a week."
Dion nodded and replied, "I have observed Crown International for a long ti, so I am sure I can make things work. Money is the only thing that the managent and the boards of directors would care about at the mont."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I have a few things that could help you lower the price further. Would you like to work for , Mister Dion, as for your salary, I will hire you on commission basis, you will have free rein over the investnt, and I will pay you with five percent of profit share for every project that you see through. What do you think?"
Dion smiled and said, "After dabbling with money all my life, this is the first ti I feel like I am going to make a profit."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Well, let us sign the contract and get done with it. For the ti being, I would like you to work remotely, and once you have taken care of the Crown International task, you set up an office there. Just so you know, in the past three days, I have already bought out thirty percent of the shares."
Dion was surprised but he was not going to give up this easily, he said, "It might be a boast coming from , but I will get you over seventy percent."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "I look forward to the cooperation, Mister Dion."
The two man shook hands and began to talk about the other directions of business expansion and inco multiplication. Hao Ren finished the eting and he went back ho. He has told Lynn Carter to do whatever she wanted with the business deals offered to them. He wasn't a fool, who would think that he could thrive on his own.
He just did not wish to collaborate with the conceited bunch of people. Though one press conference changed it all, he was feeling really good. Lynn Carter has also signed collaboration with a few logistic companies and their bots could be shipped throughout the nation seamlessly.
Hao Ren had just gotten in the car, when Han Lingshi called him. He picked up the call, and Han Lingshi said, "Ren, I have a favor to ask of you."
Hao Ren had a peculiar expression on his face and asked, "Alright, tell what it is? If you sounded sincere then I will reluctantly help you."
He decided to tease her, and Han Lingshi asked back, "Oh, do you perhaps think that you are the only one who can help in this whole wide world?"
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "As a matter of fact, I am aware that you can only trust in this situation. Otherwise you wouldn't have called ."
Han Lingshi sighed and said, "Fine, you win. I need you to be the man behind the steering wheel tomorrow."
Hao Ren was confused and asked, "You want to be your driver?"
Han Lingshi replied, "No, rember the race car we tested the other day? The big motor companies are holding a charity event and the venue is already a full house. Empress racing team is also a part of the grid but we don't have a driver yet. It is impossible for us to find a person by the morning tomorrow to go through a event."
Hao Ren asked, "Wait, are you guys not holding a qualification round?"
Han Lingshi placed her hand on her forehead and said, "It happened today, this matter had completely skipped my mind and so, we could only start from the tail end. Ren, can you please help ? Chariot Motors will lose out big ti if we did not participate."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Fine, I will be there, in the morning."
Han Lingshi was happy and said, "You are a good man, I like you."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Are you sure you want to call a good man and not your man?"
Han Lingshi replied with a bleh and disconnected the call. The young man did not say much and headed back to his office. The rest of the day was quite hectic, and Hao Ren put aside a few of the prototypes for donation purposes in the schools and colleges. The house bots were specially programd to help the teachers arranging things and they were very welcod all over the capital.
Hao Ren then set his gazes on the remote regions where a house bot could make a lot of difference and the plan was set in motion.
The rest of the day was just the usual. He cooked lunch for Han Lingshi and then carried on with his work. None of the people who had been eyeing him ca to disturb him. As soon as soone made a tiniest move against him, Hao Ren would know, because Xiao i had her eyes spread almost about everywhere.
She did not sneak into governnt servers because Hao Ren did not wish to get involved with them just yet. At night he tried to brew a batch of spirit rejuvenation potion. He wanted to see how strong the effect of the potion and the best way was to exhaust himself.
After the potion was prepared, Hao Ren spent his ti sweating inside the gym, practicing his moves and skills in Jeet Kun Do. The experience and knowledge that was instilled in his brain was now syncing with his body. If soone was to underestimate Hao Ren as a pretty boy and assault him, then they might end up with more than just a bruise on the side of their jaw.
The more Hao Ren moved around practicing his punches and kicks the more efficient he beca, and after half an hour, the gym was echoing with the sounds of his limbs tearing through the air. His speed was so quick that even he was marveling at it.
Three hours of high intensity training without a single mont of rest, his body was still going on. He practiced until he it was close to dawn and he was panting so much that lifting his arm was a problem for him.
Hao Ren drank the glass of potion and sat down on the floor. Soon his breathing regulated, and his fatigue was gone. After ten minutes, he was close to his peak. Hao Ren gulped a mouthful of saliva, when he thought of the profit he could make from this.
This potion could change the face of the military power and he as a manufacturer of this potion could earn a lot of money. However, he knew that the governnt would not allow him to cut them deep.
Hao Ren nodded and decided to handle this after he has gained enough foothold in the jade city and his company can work without his help.
...
In the morning, Hao Ren drove his car to the race course. He spotted that the place was bustling with crowd and only now did he understand why Han Lingshi was so anxious to make it to this place. He ca to the entrance and after showing the pass sent on his phone by Han Lingshi he was allowed to enter the team lobby.
Han Lingxue was looking at the lobby entrance and she quickly dragged him to the pit zone. He asked, "Xuexue why are you so anxious? Let greet Lingshi first."
Han Lingxue said, "Big Sis told to get you to the pit stop."
Hao Ren sensed sothing in her voice and stopped in his tracks. He freed his hands and turned to look at the place where Han Lingshi was sitting. He spotted a trio of young n and won. They all had a cocky expression on their faces. Hao Ren glared at Han Lingxue as he walked over to them.
Han Lingxue was frozen in her tracks because of the aura Hao Ren just projected at her. She realized that her brother-in-law was not a good boy as he seed.
Hao Ren arrived behind Han Lingshi and heard her say, "Augustus, just because you have Marco to drive for you, does not an that you have to co over here and boast it to . I rember our bet very well, you can get lost, I won't loss."
Augustus chuckled and said, "We shall see. Oh, looks like your boyfriend is not happy seeing you chat with . I will look for the keys to your company after the event."
The blonde young man chuckled and left with the two won beside him. Han Lingshi, on the other hand, turned around with a surprised expression. Hao Ren was looking at her coldly.
Han Lingshi trembled and said, "It's nothing bad, I made a bet with him five years ago, and it is about ti that I fulfil it."
Hao Ren said, "Your words lack the usual conviction. Talk to when you have the guts to tell the truth. I am not going to look too much into the situation. However, I hope that you don't hide stuff from . I am only a vulnerable human, and I can misunderstand things. I will see you after the race."
That said, he left without waiting for her response. Ever since his parents hid the fact that his sister was sick, he hated being kept in the dark. Han Lingshi unknowingly ticked him off today.
