Jiang Chen's conversation with Mr. Xiang lasted until noon, until Assistant Yang walked into the office with a strange man.
The man looked helpless: "Grandpa, didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why did you run out without even bringing a driver?"
The conversation was interrupted, and Mr. Xiang raised his hand impatiently: "I've already said that I don't need to rest. My health is better than your father's. Don't worry about me. If you want to worry about him, go and worry about him. Xiao Jiang, let's continue."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly to the man as a greeting, and continued discussing the previous topic with Xiang Lao, "Based on the current technology..."
The man then noticed Jiang Chen. He looked at Jiang Chen's face, and after a pause, he turned to ask Li Nanfeng: "Who is...?"
"Jiang Chen." Li Nanfeng briefly introduced Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiang came early in the morning. The two of them have been discussing since ten o'clock and haven't rested yet. I was just about to ask them to go downstairs for dinner together."
The man's gaze stayed on Jiang Chen. They didn't know what they were talking about. Suddenly, the young man pursed his lips and smiled. The dimples on his cheeks deepened with the curve of his lips, and his handsome eyebrows showed a smile. The outline of his cheeks and his facial features seemed familiar.
"Will you eat with us later?" Li Nanfeng said with a smile: "Uncle Xiang? Uncle Xiang!"
Xiang Hong suddenly came back to his senses, but his eyes did not move away from Jiang Chen. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."
Li Nanfeng looked at him suspiciously, then suddenly realized something. He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Really?"
Xiang Hong tilted his head, somewhat puzzled: "What?"
"Jiang Chen—" Li Nanfeng glanced at the old man and the young man who were talking in detail, and lowered his voice even more: "He looks like He Qianyang, right?"
Xiang Hong frowned, carefully looked at Jiang Chen's profile again, and shook his head: "No."
Li Nanfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought Xiang Hong had been staring at Jiang Chen because he thought he looked alike with He Qianyang. But if it wasn't for this reason, why was he staring at Jiang Chen? Confused, he asked.
Xiang Hong retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: "I just think it's amazing. It's rare to see a child of this age chatting so happily with grandpa."
Li Nanfeng smiled back, but he was half-believing and half-doubting in his heart. However, he was just asking casually, and since Xiang Hong was unwilling to say it, he just put it out of his mind.
He coughed softly, walked up to Jiang Chen and Xiang Lao, stared at Xiang Lao's unfriendly gaze, and said with a smile: "Xiang Lao, Xiao Jiang, I have asked my assistant to reserve a table. It's at Zhuyunxuan downstairs. Let's go downstairs to eat."
Jiang Chen raised his hand, and then he realized that it was already lunch time. He had a very pleasant conversation with the old man, and he got a lot of inspiration from his words.
Society progresses with the advancement of science. However, the great migration of mankind before the beginning of the interstellar age resulted in the loss of a lot of important information, including research data on computer science. These lost data covered all aspects and were extremely valuable. They left the humans who had just entered the alien galaxy isolated and helpless, and they spent a period of time in darkness because of their weakness. This period of time was later called the "Pioneering Years", which shows the regression of civilization at that time.
The era after Jiang Chen's rebirth is the "Interstellar Era". Humans in the Interstellar Era have become one of the most powerful creatures in the universe. Their scientific development and technology are ahead of all other galaxies, and their level of civilization is second only to the most intelligent race, the Ni'e. Whenever the ranking of races in the universe is mentioned, there are always classmates who angrily say: "If the data had not been lost during the great migration, we humans would have developed in the interstellar decades earlier, and our level of civilization would definitely be higher than that of the Ni'e!"
At that time, Jiang Chen also thought that if he had more detailed information and documents from his predecessors, his Yangtze River might be more complete. That is why he chose to take ancient history, hoping to gain some inspiration from the perspective of his predecessors and the level of civilization at that time.
Therefore, after being reborn into this world, even though he already had the ability to achieve great success overnight, he still chose to enter a modern college of higher learning step by step, because the basic theories and knowledge of the interstellar era were different from the knowledge taught in universities today. Perhaps these lost differences would become his inspiration to perfect the Yangtze River.
And the conversation with Mr. Xiang this morning made Jiang Chen, who benefited a lot, confirm his idea - by filling in the gaps in the information lost during the great migration and combining it with the new knowledge and technology of the interstellar era, he might be able to create a more perfect Yangtze River.
Even during lunch, Jiang Chen and Xiang Lao did not stop their discussion. They could have chatted for a few words and eaten a bite of food, but in the end they simply put down their bowls and chopsticks and resumed a new round of discussion.
Although Li Nanfeng is in charge of the scientific research department, he is not from this field. Apart from participating in some major decisions, he hardly interferes with the research of various departments of the scientific research department. Therefore, he finds the professional terms that come out of Jiang Chen and Xiang Lao's mouths difficult to understand and cannot swallow.
He coughed softly and said to Xiang Hong, who had been eating in silence, "Uncle, please call the old man. He hasn't eaten anything."
Xiang Hong swallowed the food in his mouth slowly and said, "I dare not interrupt him at this time."
Li Nanfeng was silent for a moment, looked at the old man and the young man opposite him, opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head to eat.
They had a very enjoyable meal. When Mr. Xiang said goodbye to Jiang Chen, he was reluctant to let him go. He told him to visit him at home when he had time to continue discussing the unfinished topic. He held his hand and asked him to think carefully about applying to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Finally, Xiang Hong left Jiang Chen's phone number and said that he could call Jiang Chen at any time in the future. Only then did he look back and get into the car.
When he returned to Lide, it was almost two o'clock. Li Nanfeng said, "Let's have the meeting at two o'clock."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Wait a moment, there are still two people who haven't arrived yet."
Li Nanfeng: "Who else?"
"My two friends, the people involved in this cooperation."
Before lunch, Jiang Chen took the time to call Huo Bo and Shen Xu, asking them to come to Li De in the afternoon to attend a meeting with him. After a long talk with his parents yesterday, he basically told them everything he had told them.
"Your R&D team?" Li Nanfeng was suspicious, but he remembered that Jiang Chen had said before that all his current achievements were completed by him alone.
"Not really." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "They are two of my friends. When our cooperation ends, I will start a company with them. Letting them come now can be regarded as learning and accumulating experience in advance."
Jiang Chen had made it clear to Li Nanfeng from the beginning that he and Li De were only in a buying and selling relationship. All the results of his research and development were temporarily sold only to Li De, but in the future they would never be provided only to Li De. To put it simply, the cooperation between the two was that Jiang Chen provided the results and future upgrade guarantees, and Li Nanfeng provided the funds and laboratories.
Seeing Jiang Chen say it so generously, Li Nanfeng didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He looked at Jiang Chen's young and harmless smiling face, raised his hand and put it down again, sat down on the sofa, pushed his hair back, and said with a sigh: "Okay, another nemesis." He had no choice but to ask his secretary to go down and pick him up.
Huo Bo and Shen Xu were very punctual and arrived before 2pm. Following the assistant, Shen Xu looked left and right, and looked around the top floor of Lide before quietly bumping Huo Bo's arm: "It turns out that Lide is so big inside, and everyone who comes and goes looks like an elite. I'm a little nervous."
Huo Bo was also observing the surrounding environment inconspicuously. After hearing what Shen Xu said, he said calmly: "We are just here to listen. Just stand next to Jiang Zi later. Don't be nervous."
Chen Xu whispered, "I know that too, but I'm just nervous. Hey, when did Jiang Zi become so good at computer technology that he could cooperate with Li De? He didn't even tell us anything before. If he hadn't called me at noon to remind me not to be late, I would have thought that what he said yesterday was just a dream..."
Huo Bo was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Too many things have happened in the past six months."
Chen Xu was startled, pursed his lips slightly, and stopped talking.
Assistant Yang knocked on the door and came in to tell Li Nanfeng and Jiang Chen that everyone was there, and Shen Xu and Huo Bo were already outside the door.
Li Nanfeng nodded: "Let's have a meeting."
Jiang Chen and Li Nanfeng came out of the office together and saw Huo Bo sitting on the sofa waiting and Shen Xu who looked particularly calm today for some reason.
"Here we are." Jiang Chen walked towards them, looked at Shen Xu, and asked Huo Bo, "What's wrong with him?"
Huo Bo glanced at Shen Xu: "Maybe he's nervous."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. Whenever Chen Xu was nervous, he couldn't stop talking, but today he was very quiet.
Li Nanfeng glanced at Shen Xu and Huo Bo, then smiled at Jiang Chen: "Are these two your classmates?"
"Chen Xu, Huo Bo." Jiang Chen briefly introduced Li Nanfeng and Shen Xu and Huo Bo. After saying hello, the group went straight to the meeting room.
There were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room. When they saw Jiang Chen coming in behind Li Nanfeng, most of them were obviously surprised. When they saw Huo Boxenxu behind him, their surprise was even greater.
Li Nanfeng walked to the main seat and sat down. Assistant Yang extended his hand to the seat on Li Nanfeng's left and said to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, please sit down."
Jiang Chen nodded, thanked him and sat down, while Chen Xu and Huo Bo were taken to the seats at the back by Assistant Yang.
After everyone arrived, the conference room quickly quieted down. Li Nanfeng introduced everyone present to Jiang Chen one by one: "This is Zhao Wentao from the Legal Department, and this is..." After a brief introduction, he got straight to the point: "I believe everyone has read the test report and market evaluation of the new facial recognition system and voice system. The main content of today's meeting is to formally finalize the contract details with Mr. Jiang, as well as the future cooperation plan..."
Li Nanfeng's team are all experienced business people. From the beginning to the end of the meeting, their words seemed to be discussing, but in fact, every word was arguing for the interests of the company. They used various methods and even risk reports to try to extend the contract with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was not good at negotiation and did not have much experience, but he insisted on his bottom line and never wavered. No matter what the wind blew, no matter what the other party said, he just smiled faintly, without the slightest intention of backing down. In the end, the discussion result was determined -
Lide will provide funds to set up a laboratory in the name of Jiang Chen, who will be in full charge of the laboratory. Li Nanfeng has no say except providing funds. Jiang Chen will need to provide Lide with system patches and upgrade services for the next three years. In addition, Lide will pay Jiang Chen 5 million system usage and service fees each year. This fee will change in the second year based on the estimated sales of the first year. For every 10% increase in sales over the previous year's sales, Jiang Chen will receive a profit dividend of 0.5% of sales.
The meeting lasted nearly three hours before Jiang Chen and Li Nanfeng finalized all the details of the contract. They only had to wait for the R&D department to sort out the newly opened laboratory and the legal department to draft the contract before the two parties could start cooperating.
When the meeting ended, it was already past five o'clock. Li Nanfeng wanted to send someone to take Jiang Chen and the other two home, and Jiang Chen did not refuse.
On the way back, Jiang Chen asked, "What do you think of the meeting just now?"
Huo Bo pondered for a moment and said, "The Lide team is very powerful, but you knew exactly what you wanted from the beginning to the end, so the final result should not be too different from what you originally thought."
Chen Xu touched his chin and said, "I think you can still negotiate with them on sales. Judging from their attitude, there may be room for negotiation in this regard."
Jiang Chen smiled. Although Shen Xu and Huo Bo didn't say a word during the whole meeting, he knew they were listening attentively. Even though Huo Bo and Shen Xu didn't have any experience at this time, one of them was born with a keen sense of business and the other had a good grasp of people's emotions. Jiang Chen believed that it wouldn't take too much time for them to make rapid progress and grow into elite figures who dominated the business world in their previous lives.
Chen Xu clicked his tongue a few times, hooked his hands around Jiang Chen's neck, and said, "Jiang Shen, I didn't realize that you have accomplished such a great feat behind the backs of your brothers in just a few months. Tell me, do you plan to treat us or -"
“I’m going to start a business.”
Shen Xu was interrupted in the middle of his words. He blinked and before he could react, he saw Jiang Chen looking up and chuckled: "A company that belongs to the three of us and will be at the top of the world's technology in the future."
