Chapter 209 New Cooperation Model
Seeing her mother like this, Chen Ci jokingly said, "I've rarely seen you get jealous since you were little, so why are you crying all the time?"
"People become more and more complicated as they grow older. In a few years, Mom will become a child."
"Nonsense, people start to live backwards after they are sixty. You are still young, Mom." Shen Ci said.
Shen Jingjing burst into laughter and pushed her daughter: "You have learned to be a chatterbox in Longcheng. Go wash your hands quickly."
When they washed their hands and sat down at the dining table, Shen Jingjing had already served rice to them, and then she took a bowl and served them Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
She gave the largest sea cucumber in the pot to Pili: "Come here, Pili, eat more."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Pili stood up and took it. Looking at the golden delicacy in the bowl, he swallowed subconsciously: "This is my first time eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."
"Then you count it, this is my mother's specialty, there is no rival in the world." Shen Ci said.
Shen Jingjing glanced at her daughter before she smiled and said, "Don't listen to Ah Ci's nonsense."
Chen Ci said seriously, "I'm serious. I've eaten at many restaurants in Longcheng, big and small. I've even eaten at the restaurant Uncle Jiang often goes to, and none of them are as delicious as yours."
Gu Lianxing couldn't wait to take a spoonful, and her eyes lit up immediately. "It smells so good, Auntie. It's really delicious, better than those high-end restaurants in Longcheng."
Chen Ci glared in agreement: "Look, Mom, the real Princess of Longcheng said so."
Shen Jingjing was so amused by the children that she nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, as long as you think it tastes good, eat more if you like."
After saying that, she slowly sat down next to Shen Ci, looked at her daughter and asked, "When will Ah Li finish filming this TV series?"
"It's almost time, Mom. The agency has arranged for her to finish filming before the New Year."
"Kill, kill who?"
Chen Ci: “…”
Gu Lianxing smiled and said, "Auntie, wrapping up means the actors have completed all the filming work, not that they have killed anyone."
"Oh." Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding, then turned to ask Shen Ci: "What about her school? She won't have time to take the exams, right?"
"Mom, don't worry about it. The Film Academy has made special arrangements for the students on the crew. They won't be delayed in their studies or exams. When Ah Li finishes filming, I'll take her back to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to spend the New Year with you and Xingxing."
"Give me an autographed photo of your sister later. I have a feeling your sister will become very famous in the future. I'll keep it for now." Gu Lianxing suddenly said.
Pili also reacted and said, "Give me two too. Although I don't watch the show, maybe I can sell them for a good price later."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci curled her lips and said, “You’re eating the food cooked by my mother, and you’re still thinking about my sister?”
"So what? Auntie invited us here."
"Didn't you teach me that if I want to make money I have to seize all the hidden business opportunities?"
"Learn and use it right away? Use it on our family?"
"Is it not possible..."
Shen Jingjing watched the children making noises and her eyes softened. She could tell her daughter was very happy in Longcheng, with good academics, a good career, good friends, and a boyfriend.
All of this made her feel extremely at ease.

A week later, Shen Ci and Luo Tianrui came to the "Artificial Intelligence" department of Jiang Group again.
It was still the same reception room as last time, and still in the same location as last time.
Jiang Yuanyu sighed before he even opened his mouth, and Shen Ci immediately understood that the result of this second meeting would definitely not be satisfactory.
Before Jiang Yuanyu could think about how to speak, Shen Ci asked directly: "How much?"
Jiang Yuanyu looked at Shen Ci for two seconds and whispered, “530.”
After saying that, Jiang Yuanyu was eager to explain: "Miss Shen, you should know that although our Jiang family..."
Shen Ci raised her hand to interrupt Jiang Yuanyu: "I know that this is not a matter of money for Jiang's. You are a large company and a large group. Everything has its upper and lower limits. I fully understand this."
"Look, our second offer is 80 more than the first. Can you show some sincerity and make some concessions? We are really optimistic about your project, and I personally know that it is completely worth a higher price, but this is the fact, and this is our greatest sincerity."
Chen Ci didn't rush to respond to Jiang Yuanyu's words, but instead gave Luo Tianrui a look. Luo Tianrui understood and took out a folder from his schoolbag and handed it to Jiang Yuanyu: "Vice President Jiang, we have been actively thinking about solutions to promote cooperation these days. Here is a new cooperation model. Would you like to take a look first?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanyu glanced at the two of them, then reached out to take it, opened the file without saying a word and began to read.
After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Decrease every two years?"
Chen Ci nodded. "Yes, Senior Brother Luo and the others have discussed it and can accept that the technology will depreciate over time. The first two years we will pay 600 yuan a year, the third and fourth years will be 500 yuan, and starting from the fifth year it will drop to 400 yuan."
"If this technology still has room for survival in five years, we can eventually accept it dropping to as low as 100 yuan a year."
This is not a new transaction model, and there have been precedents for this type of cooperation model in many industries.
New things are expensive, but after two years, the new ones will become old, and newer technologies may appear at any time and may even completely replace the previous technologies.
Luo Tianrui's entire team is made up of technical personnel, so they can definitely accept that technology will depreciate over time.
Shen Ci also talked to them about this matter, and they themselves could not guarantee that this technology would remain in the cutting-edge field for five years without being replaced.
However, in this way, the interest relationship became a little complicated. Jiang Yuanyu was unable to think clearly for a while and could not tell whether they had lost or gained money under this model because there were too many uncertain factors.
"Ms. Shen, Mr. Luo, we need to hold a meeting to discuss this." Jiang Yuanyu said.
"Of course there's no problem, but I still hope that Vice President Jiang's team can come up with a result as soon as possible, and we can finalize the cooperation before the New Year." Shen Ci said.
"Okay, we'll hurry."
Before leaving, Shen Ci met Jiang Yuanliang in the lobby on the first floor of Jiang's Building.
"Uncle Jiang!"
“Ah Ci!”
Jiang Yuanliang was wearing an exquisite custom-made suit, and he couldn't help but smile kindly when he saw Shen Ci: "Are you still running here? Why, haven't you reached an agreement on the cooperation with our group?"
Uncle Jiang's willingness to give herself a chance was already a great help. Shen Ci naturally wouldn't let Uncle Jiang use his position to open a backdoor for her, so she smiled and responded: "Good things take time, but the talks with Vice President Jiang went smoothly. Today we have proposed a new cooperation model, and I believe there will be results soon."
What this means is that Uncle Jiang doesn't need to worry about this anymore.
