Chapter 9: Steady and Not Rash

  Currently ranked 71st on the new book chart, everyone please support me, hoping to rush into the top 50 this week.

  Three aspects are involved in the plan, and the first major aspect is the easiest to achieve. To say that Sun Zesheng was a double Ph.D. in his previous life, even if he was a junior high school dropout in his previous life, with the assistance of Tianji Star 3000, it would be easy to score 100 points in every subject.

  This aspect is the easiest to achieve and basically does not require Sun Zesheng to spend too much time and effort.

  The second major aspect, for him, is not difficult either. In his past life, he was also a successful businessman, and doing business again is just a familiar path. The main problem is to grasp the degree well and avoid repeating the mistakes of his past life.

  In comparison, the last major aspect is more difficult to achieve, especially when it comes to establishing connections with officials. Sun Zesheng temporarily has no clear concept of what level of official to establish connections with, how to generate these connections, and how deep these connections should be.

  He can't keep running to the city government, waiting for the mayor's special car to come over, and then rushing over to say that his soul comes from half a century later, hoping to have an intimate exchange with Mayor Sir?

  If he does that, he will be considered a madman and must be caught by the mysterious and powerful department, first let him taste the flavor of the Qing Dynasty's ten great tortures.

  Whether in the past or present, power is always greater than the power of money. Especially domestically, all dynasties have severely suppressed merchants, especially those without official backgrounds, and this is no exception even today.

  With the lessons of past lives, if Sun Zesheng rushed to establish a powerful business empire before graduating from university, it would be like building a high-rise building on sandy ground - its foundation is fragile and loose, even a three-year-old child can see that as long as there is a flood, it will inevitably collapse.

  Steady and cautious, rather than rash!!!

  This is the fundamental principle that Sun Zesheng has been adhering to. What he lacks is not the means to create wealth, but the means to protect it. If wealth is created, but becomes a target for others to cleverly seize and plunder, then Sun Zesheng would rather let them quietly remain, never to see the light of day.

  How to crack this hard nut, Sun Zesheng currently has a relatively vague idea, but it hasn't formed a very specific plan yet, and the goal is not very clear either. He also intends to use his last two years in college to perfect it, and then put it into practice.

  About a week after Sun Zesheng sent out the sales and self-recommendation letters, people started calling him one after another to inquire about the matter. (At first, the callers were not very sincere. On the one hand, they were unwilling to come to Jishan City, and on the other hand, the cooperation conditions they put forward were quite harsh.)

  Generally, they all expressed serious doubts about whether Sun Zesheng had the ability to develop the products mentioned in his self-recommendation letter. After Sun Zesheng repeatedly assured them that he was not joking, these people proposed buying out the complete set of technical materials and related patents from Sun Zesheng at a very low price, with the highest offer being only 5 million yuan, which was not even paid in one lump sum.

  For these few offers, Sun Zesheng refused without hesitation. He wanted to expand his entrepreneurial capital, but not to the point of selling future advanced technology at a low price, he had to reflect its value, even if there was a difference, it couldn't be too much.

  As August 15th was getting closer and closer, Sun Zesheng had almost given up hope for this sales trip when he received a phone call.

  "Excuse me, is this Mr. Sun Zesheng? You sent an email to our company's mailbox a week ago, promoting an instrument you developed yourself. Our company organized technical personnel to verify the content of your letter and found it had some feasibility. I'd like to ask, can you guarantee that you own the complete intellectual property rights of this instrument?"

  The caller did not reveal his identity, but Sun Zesheng was not deterred. He immediately used the Tianji Xing 3000 to infiltrate the mobile company and look up the identity of the caller based on their phone number.

  In the blink of an eye, Tianji Star 3000 had the result and transmitted it to Sun Zesheng's mind.

  This person's identity is not ordinary, he is the Senior Executive Vice President of a holding investment company under a certain multinational group that ranks extremely high in the country.

  Zhenmei Group is a large-scale comprehensive enterprise with white home appliances as its main business, involving real estate, logistics, lighting electrical and other fields. It has three listed companies and four major industrial groups under its umbrella, making it one of the largest production bases and export bases for white home appliances in China.

  The company has a branch factory in Jishan City, which specializes in the production of air conditioners. The company also has a real estate company under its umbrella, with a real estate project in Jishan City that is selling extremely well.

  Among dozens of companies where Sun Zejun chose to send his self-recommended book, this company and another domestic largest IT company are the ones he most wants to cooperate with.

  These two companies have a good reputation at home and abroad, and they also have sufficient cash flow. Even if Sun Zesheng makes a small concession, they can still afford it. Most importantly, they have sales channels all over the country and even around the world, as well as a good reputation accumulated among domestic and foreign consumers. If they cooperate with him, there is no worry that the instrument he developed cannot be marketed nationwide or even globally.

  The product sells well and has a broad market prospect, which can guarantee that Sun Zesheng can sell the instrument he brought out at a satisfactory price.

  "Of course, I can guarantee that all the materials I sent to you and everything related to the instrument are my original creations and have been applied for patents. If your company is interested in cooperating with me, we can discuss further after meeting."

  Sun Zesheng's tone was very calm, without any excitement or agitation.

  In his past life, he experienced too much. He had a drink with the number one leader at that time, was a guest of honor as the President of the United States, played golf with the rotating president of the European Union, spat in front of the Emperor of Japan, and was once hailed as the young businessman most likely to become the richest man in the world.

  In comparison, a phone call from a senior executive vice president of a listed company's subsidiary is really hard to make him have any special emotions.

  The CEO's mood was somewhat depressed, he had called in advance and thought that Sun Zesheng would be very excited after receiving the call, and estimated that he couldn't even speak clearly. But unexpectedly, Sun Zesheng's tone was so calm, gentle as a breeze, without any of the emotions he had expected.

  However, being able to become the senior executive vice president of a second-tier company in a multinational group, he is not an ordinary person. "Mr. Sun, it just so happens that I have to go to Jishan City tomorrow to inspect our branch factory on behalf of the group company. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, you bring your instrument to our branch factory. I want to see with my own eyes whether your instrument is as magical as you claimed in your resume."

  "Alright, no problem. Let's meet tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon." Sun Zesheng agreed succinctly.

  Good things come in pairs, just as he hung up the phone, Sun Zesheng's mobile phone rang again.

  He pressed the answer button, and the other party's voice came from the phone's speaker.

  "Is this Mr. Sun Zesheng? I am Ou Yang Feixiang, the CEO of Lian Xiang Investment Co., Ltd. We are very interested in the instrument you developed. Can you come to Yanjing for a visit, and we can discuss further after meeting?"

  Sun Zesheng said bluntly, "Mr. Ouyang, just now, a senior executive vice president of Zhenmei Holding Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhenmei Group, called me and asked me to meet him at their branch in Jishan City tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock for further discussion. I may not have time to go to Yanjing to see you."

  Ou Yang Fei Xiang's voice had a few points of discontent, "Mr. Sun, since you recommended us to Lian Xi Investment Co., Ltd., how can you also recommend yourself to Zhen Mei Group? Isn't this like marrying two women at the same time?"

  Sun Zesheng smiled faintly, "Mr. Ouyang, you're being too serious. I think it's my personal freedom to decide who to sell or cooperate with the instrument I developed. It has nothing to do with whether a woman is remarried or not. Didn't Mr. Ouyang used to send his resume everywhere when he first entered the job market? Can't I say that at that time, Mr. Ouyang was not remarried once, but remarried many times?"

  "Ah!" A loud, astonished voice came from the other end of the phone. In his self-recommended book, Sun Zesheng also gave a brief introduction to himself, saying that he was a junior student in college. When did a junior student have such good eloquence in front of the boss of a company with assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

  Ouyang Feixiang's interest in Sun Zesheng increased a lot, "Alright, since the True Beauty Group can send a senior executive vice president to Jinnan City, I can go too. Mr. Sun, I hope your instrument is really worth me running a trip."

  "I can guarantee you won't make a wasted trip." Sun Zesheng said confidently.

  He hung up the phone, and Sun Zesheng pulled out a cardboard box from under his single bed. The cardboard box was about the size of a computer case, and inside it were the instruments that he had commissioned someone to make.

  Since getting this instrument, Sun Zesheng had debugged it several times, and each time the result was very satisfactory. This time, to be on the safe side, Sun Zesheng decided to debug it again.

  Sun Zesheng's parents had both gone to work and wouldn't be back for lunch, as long as he didn't set the house on fire or get robbed, his parents wouldn't know what he was up to, so he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about getting in trouble.

  Before he knew it, the next day arrived. After lunch, Sun Zesheng took a short nap and then carried the instrument downstairs, hailed a taxi, told the driver his destination, and closed his eyes to rest.

  The driver was quite honest and didn't take a detour. After Sun Zesheng paid the fare, he got out of the car with his equipment and saw a large gate in front of him. The sign wall of the True Beauty Group's branch factory in Jinnan City - True Beauty Group Jinnan Industrial Park - was right before his eyes.

  Sun Zesheng carried his device to the security room, "Hello, I'm Sun Zesheng. Yesterday, I made an appointment with your company to demonstrate my invention here."
