In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
"Professor Wang's project must involve a large investment."
"Think about it, this is scientific and technological research and development work."
"What is that? Fuel. The Chinese Academy of Sciences' annual funding is in the hundreds of millions."
Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan's expressions improved considerably after that.
Seeing this, Wu Kang also didn't want to talk about these troublesome things, so he quickly raised his wine glass.
"Let's not talk about this! Let's not talk about this!"
"Let's go first!"
After a few drinks, Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan's faces gradually turned red.
The two of them sat next to each other, calling each other "Brother Lin" and pouring out their grievances to Lin Yifeng.
They were all saying the same thing: they wanted to see if they could get some investment from Lin Yifeng.
Lin Yifeng also refused the offer quite decisively.
"Well, it's difficult to explain."
"Just getting Professor Wang to come here cost me quite a bit."
"It would be too difficult to sponsor Professor Wang like this."
"Let me tell you both the truth."
Lin Yifeng looked helpless and shook his head repeatedly.
"I sought out Professor Wang because of the goods he had."
"If I can produce it, I'll definitely make a fortune; the profit will be at least this much!"
Lin Yifeng held up five fingers to show the two of them.
After Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan saw it, they instantly sobered up by half.
Five times?!
Lin Yifeng nodded and continued to explain with a wry smile.
"However, Professor Wang's factory in Northeast China is still under construction, and there is no stock available yet."
"However, I have already made an agreement with him that I will be the number one buyer for the shipment."
"If I were to help sell them, I'm afraid all my current businesses combined wouldn't even amount to a fraction of what I'll have in the future."
Wu Kang swallowed hard, still somewhat incredulous.
Even Lee Seung-hyun was somewhat surprised that Lin Yifeng wasn't interested in investing in Wang Hongcheng, but rather in his product.
After a brief hesitation, Lee Seung-hyun cautiously probed the question.
"Is it really that profitable?"
Lin Yifeng clicked his tongue and frowned.
"Tsk!"
"Secretary Li, don't you understand fuel companies?"
"That Japanese company? The one that said it would build a factory!"
Wu Kang chimed in to help.
"Mitsubishi Group?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Lin Yifeng nodded repeatedly, speaking in a completely indifferent tone.
"Isn't the Mitsubishi Group amazing!"
"That's a major international corporation!"
"Right?"
Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan paused for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Yifeng smiled.
"What's fuel used for? Engines, cars, ships! Everything needs it!"
"The scope of this design is too broad! I'm interested in his products, not just those sold in the domestic market!"
"Think about it, how much fuel costs would other developed countries save each year if they saw this?"
"Then I'll sell it internationally, let's just say that!"
"What Mitsubishi Group? That damn Japanese company. No matter how powerful or sophisticated they are, they'll still have to beg us to sell to them."
Lin Yifeng's confident demeanor surprised Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan.
They couldn't quite understand where Lin Yifeng got his confidence from, thinking that he could compete with Mitsubishi Group by getting Wang Hongcheng's goods.
Lee Seung-hyun asked with some concern.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Lin Yifeng feigned surprise.
"Of course!"
"The Mitsubishi Group is incredibly powerful; can it compete with every country in the world?"
"By then, not only will private companies need this stuff, but the military will also need it!"
"Aren't you guys oversimplifying this thing?"
Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan were stunned for a moment.
They also began to wonder if Wang Hongcheng's product was really that amazing.
Of course, Lin Yifeng wasn't lying.
If Wang Hongcheng's product really succeeds, not only will other countries be excited, but the whole world will be in an uproar.
With just a little something added, water can be transformed into oil. If Wang Hongcheng had this ability, how many fuel companies could he have bankrupted?
The problem is, Wang Hongcheng can't produce such a thing, nor can he come up with the product he envisions; all of this is just empty talk.
Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Lin Yifeng encouraged them from the side.
Even if I don't sell overseas.
"Domestic petrochemical, fuel oil, and gasoline companies are all getting orders from me."
"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that I was able to secure the agency rights for Zhongzhou Province is a testament to my abilities."
"Just think about how many cars in Zhongzhou Province need to use this product."
Lin Yifeng calmly took two sips of tea and continued to drink.
"County Chief Wu, Secretary Li."
"Let me put it simply: I'm just a businessman, and I'm a rather materialistic person."
"I won't consider anything if there's no benefit to it."
This back-and-forth combination of punches completely excited Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan.
The two of them thought that in the future they could rely on Wang Hongcheng to add more achievements to their political record and make their business bigger and stronger.
But after hearing what Lin Yifeng said, they also realized that something was wrong.
If this really works out, not only will they be able to deliver a perfect report card in the political arena, but they can also arrange for their family members to work for Wang Hongcheng.
Based on their relationship with Wang Hongcheng, if these people were to sell products like Lin Yifeng, achieving great success would be a realistic possibility.
When they retire, they won't lack money at home or connections in politics, so they can do whatever they want.
Even the life of a terrestrial immortal is no better than this.
Wu Kang and Li Chengxuan's brows gradually relaxed, and their smiles became increasingly bright.
