It hadn't been long when Professor Sun had his family mbers at the table leave first.
At this mont, everyone's eyes sparkled with anticipation. It seed the ti had co!
To put it plainly, Professor Sun had allowed everyone to co and wish him a birthday in order to seek potential business partners. Otherwise, why would he prepare such a large venue?
Now, having sent all his relatives away, Professor Sun only kept his daughter by his side. After exchanging a few words with her, he looked up and surveyed the crowd that had co to wish him a happy birthday.
"I am very aware of your purpose here today," he said. "Most of you are not here for my birthday but to establish a cooperation with , am I right?"
Logically, the results of this recent research were closely linked to the investnt from the Ke Family, and cooperation should have naturally been with the Ke Family.
But now, with the Ke Family's building having collapsed overnight, Professor Sun was forced to choose a new partner from the group present to implent the results into practical operation.
"There are many of you here today, but I can only pick one for cooperation. As to who, it's hard to say. I will choose the one I find most agreeable, as it will be more comfortable for when we collaborate later on."
"Alright, let's cut to the chase," he continued. "I saw just now that you have prepared many birthday gifts for . Now that I have so free ti, please bring them over one by one and let see them."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood Professor Sun's intention.
Professor Sun mostly wanted to see whose gift pleased him the most and then select a favored collaborator.
With the situation clear, everyone let out a sigh of relief and was full of anticipation for what was to co.
Since they had dared to co to congratulate Professor Sun on his birthday, they naturally had great confidence in the gifts they had brought.
As soon as Professor Sun invited everyone to start presenting their gifts, soone brought their gift forward to him.
The first to step forward was a young, handso man. Xu Fan heard people around saying that he seed to be a son from so family who was also interested in cooperating with Professor Sun and was sent to negotiate.
When the young man reached Professor Sun, he grinned and pulled out a key, saying, "Professor Sun, this key is for the latest model of a supercar. I wasn't sure exactly what you would like, so I boldly bought it as a ans of transportation for you."
Seeing the key, everyone's eyes widened. None of the guests were poor and were broad-minded; they recognized at a glance the Bugatti Veyron emblem on the key.
That was worth at least tens of millions, causing everyone to involuntarily gasp in astonishnt.
"It looks like the Wang Family has really invested heavily to win over Professor Sun, wow, that must be tens of millions, right?"
People couldn't help but whisper among themselves, even as so guests glanced subconsciously at their own gifts.
Many felt that their gifts could not compare to the Wang Family's and cursed quietly before leaving with their items.
The young man from the Wang Family watched the others leave and couldn't help but smile proudly. Although parting with a supercar valued at almost fifty million was sowhat painful, the thought of a car bringing in deals worth billions made it seem insignificant.
"Thank you. You can leave now," said Professor Sun.
"Uh…"
The face of the young man from the Wang Family froze with confusion as he looked at Professor Sun.
His gaze was still as icy as ever, showing no flicker of interest despite the key to the supercar worth tens of millions.
"Damn…"
This expression had already clearly inford the handso young man from the Wang Family that he had no chance.
The Wang Family's handso guy cursed silently and then walked away in frustration.
"Damn! What are you all laughing at? Just because I'm out of the picture doesn't an you have a chance!"
As the guy from the Wang Family walked back, he saw a group of people mocking him and imdiately glared at them in response.
Zhou Zidong couldn't help but tease, "Cut it out, Mr. Wang, are you an idiot? Do you think Professor Sun is as young as us and likes crazy stuff? And you even brought a sports car?"
"Can't you put so effort into finding out what he actually likes?"
Zhou Zidong, clutching his own gift box, started taunting openly with a cheeky grin.
The handso guy from the Wang Family glared fiercely at Zhou Zidong and retorted, "Zhou Zidong, what makes you so great? Tell , what did you bring this ti?"
"I don't believe for a second that what you brought today could be pricier than mine!"
The two loved to compete. Seeing the guy from the Wang Family unconvinced, Zhou Zidong chuckled mischievously, deliberately flaunted the elegantly wrapped gift box in his hand, and with a raised eyebrow, taunted, "Watch closely, Mr. Wang."
With that, Zhou Zidong confidently walked over to Professor Sun.
Soon, Zhou Zidong was standing in front of Professor Sun.
He smiled at Professor Sun and said, "Professor Sun, I heard you enjoy researching calligraphy and paintings. My grandfather happens to share the sa hobby. I didn't bring any other gifts this ti, just brought a painting, hoping you'd appreciate it."
At that mont, Zhou Zidong's face was brimming with a confident smile! He was certain that Professor Sun would love the painting he brought!
He then carefully opened the beautifully crafted box and displayed the calligraphy and painting to Professor Sun.
The crowd was very curious about what type of painting Zhou Zidong had brought, and they gathered around, stretching their necks to catch a glimpse of the painting on the table.
Upon seeing it, everyone involuntarily gasped.
"My goodness... the Zhou Family really went all-in this ti! They are willing to give away such a painting?"
"Oh my... I've seen this painting at an auction before, it's worth over a hundred million…"
"The Zhou Family really doesn't consider money an object, huh…"
The group was instantly awestruck by Zhou Zidong's lavish gesture. The painting he placed on the table was "Baren Fetching Water" by Xu Beihong, which had sold for over a hundred million at an auction!
With such a high-level painting being offered as a gift, it was clear that the Zhou Family's patriarch was determined to secure this business deal.
Zhou Zidong, seeing the envious looks from the crowd, couldn't help feeling sowhat proud and snorted as he looked towards Professor Sun, whose eyes were filled with astonishnt.
Clearly, he was very interested in the Xu Beihong painting he had brought, and had already begun to study it.
Seeing this, others sighed, realizing the deal on the new energy project was likely to be snatched up by the Zhou Family.
Zhou Zidong, seeing this, laughed heartily and smugly glanced at Xu Fan, who had yet to make a move, smirking to himself.
Poor guy, probably too scared to present his gift now!
