Chapter 109 Mingsheng Electric
Tan Buzhong actually didn't know much about the relationship between his cousin Chen Wangping and Fantasy Park. After all, he wasn't very familiar with his cousin. The reason he approached Principal Chi in the first place was due to a variety of coincidences.
After resuming contact, Chen Wangping told him that someone in the creative team of Fantasy Park was her classmate and invited her to participate in the project. In order to support domestic products, she resigned and returned to China. She did not contact her family at first, also to keep the project confidential. After she was released, she was able to resume contact with her family, but she did not expect her family to react so strongly.
Although there are some inconsistencies in this explanation, Tan Buzhong is not very familiar with the other person, and he does not think it is a big deal if the other person hides some things. After all, it is good that the person is safe and sound.
Later, Chen Wangping left Fantasy Park and went to work at Jinan First Hospital. Tian Buzhong was happy to see this. In his opinion, after studying for so many years, it would be best for Chen Wangping to continue with his job. It would be even better in Jinan City, as it is close to his hometown. Unlike abroad, where the sky is high and the land is far away, if something happens, there will be no relatives around, which makes him feel uneasy.
But Tian Buzhong didn't expect that such a complicated relationship would be targeted by others.
It's not that Director Chi himself doesn't know this. He's a young man in his twenties, rich and successful, while his cousin is almost 40 years old. Yet, it's rumored that she rushed from abroad to be with Director Chi just to pursue love. What the hell is going on? Not to mention the age difference, even if the two of them hugged each other, he couldn't see any sparks!
I really don't know where this rumor came from.
Tian Buxin felt a little annoyed, but when he looked carefully at the middle-aged man opposite him, he found that although the other party tried his best to appear warm, his face was obviously haggard and unnatural. He knew that this was another person who was not living a happy life. No wonder he seemed to have low emotional intelligence when speaking. He was probably not good at socializing.
Forget it, forget it. Why bother with someone who's having a hard time? It's not that Tian doesn't have a good heart, but there's no need to embarrass others. Besides, he has his own career to pursue. What if the other person is barefoot and fearless? What if he gets angry and gets stabbed? There's a lot of such stories in the news.
So Tian Buzhong said, "I don't know where Mr. Zhao heard this rumor. My cousin is only a few years younger than me. How could she be with Principal Chi?"
Old Zhao finally realized that he had flattered someone and hit the wrong horse. He blushed, but he clearly wasn't going to give up easily, so he said, "I heard your cousin used to work in the park's infirmary. She's a top student, and she's willing to take this small position. She must be doing it for Principal Chi's sake..."
"Speaking of this, I'm also angry!" Tian Buzhong slammed the table before he could finish and said, "Old Zhao, you don't know, my cousin has such a good resume, and she was able to come to Fantasy Park because of Director Chi's face. I originally hoped that Director Chi would let her join the core team and create a holographic effect of the surgical process to help our country cultivate more medical talents. Who knew that Director Chi would only let her do some work in the infirmary that a young nurse can do! How could my cousin bear this? That's why she left Fantasy Park and went to the city hospital!"
Although this wasn't the case, and even Chen Wangping now had a good relationship with Fantasy Park, Tian Buzhong had no intention of wasting a favor on someone he didn't even know. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Old Zhao across the street simply sighed and never mentioned asking Tian Buzhong for an introduction again. He didn't leave, however. He ordered his meal and sat across from Tian Buzhong, eating while wishing him good luck in the future after the amusement park renovation.
When Tanbuchu first visited Fantasy Park in August, he was shocked. Later, when he returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his own fun amusement park was not good enough. If it continued like this, it would be doomed to go bankrupt and close down sooner or later. This was his life's work, how could he bear to give it up?
After years of stagnation, his ambition suddenly rekindled. Tan Buchu decided to reform the Happy Fun Park. Of course, he couldn't follow the same path as the Fantasy Park, as he didn't have their technology or methods. So, he conducted extensive market research and decided to transform the Happy Fun Park into a truly Chinese amusement park. He paid off the designer and completely renovated half of the Happy Fun Park into a historically-themed theme park.
This requires a lot of money. Tan Buzhong has been busy raising funds recently. Today, he finally solved all the financial problems. He was very happy and thought of coming to the park to find Huihui to play, but he didn't expect to come back empty-handed.
Hearing what Lao Zhao said, Tian Buzhong was surprised, "You know about this?"
Old Zhao said, "How could I not know that? Well, actually, I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Your amusement park may be big, but it doesn't have any unique features. If a strong competitor comes along, it's definitely going to fail. Nowadays, many amusement parks in China are copied from foreign facilities. I think it would be better to have something with our own unique characteristics."
Although Old Zhao's words were harsh, he was surprisingly honest. Tian Buzhong hadn't cared about him at first, but the more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt. He couldn't help but ask, "Come to think of it, when did we meet before?"
"It's been years," Old Zhao said, pulling out his wallet. "I still have this photo!"
This photo must be ten years old. It was taken at the entrance of the Fun Amusement Park. Tian Buzhong took a closer look and realized that Lao Zhao was not trying to get close to him. The two of them really knew each other before. He suddenly said, "Aren't you Mr. Zhao from Mingsheng Electric?"
Just the surname Zhao didn't leave Tian Buzhong with much impression, after all, there were so many people with the surname Zhao, but when he linked it to Mingsheng Electric Appliances, Tian Buzhong remembered it immediately.
Speaking of Mingsheng Electric, it is also an old enterprise in Jinan City. It is not well-known now, but twenty years ago, it was also a large-scale enterprise. I don’t know what happened, but the business is getting worse and worse. The products used to be sold to other provinces and cities, but now they are gradually not selling even locally.
The reason why Tanaka had an impression of Mingsheng Electric was because he had an air conditioner produced by Mingsheng Electric at home, which had not broken down for many years.
Upon learning that he was the boss of Mingsheng Electric, Tian Buzhong's guard dropped a lot and he asked curiously, "Your business has nothing to do with the theme park!"
Old Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard this and had to tell everyone about his current predicament.
Mingsheng Electric Appliances was on the verge of bankruptcy. For the past twenty years, he had personally run the business, never outsourcing the business. He had always adhered to his belief in producing the highest-quality appliances and fulfilling his responsibility to consumers, but for some reason, business was declining. He was confident his products were flawless, and after much reflection, he figured it might be a lack of advertising and marketing. He'd heard that Principal Chi favored supporting local businesses, so he looked for opportunities to try his luck.
Hearing this, Tian Buzhong nodded and said to him honestly, "I don't know what you want to talk to Director Chi about, but I tell you the truth, I'm not familiar with him. I just added his contact information. I told you, you can try adding him, but if Director Chi ignores me, there's nothing I can do."
Old Zhao was very grateful when he heard this and quickly wrote it down.
That afternoon, Chi Yizheng received a message from a stranger on his work social media account.
After the park became popular, more and more people added his work account. Of course, those who had the channels to add his account were all business owners, and it was useless for ordinary people to add him.
He was busy at that time because the hole in the world barrier was expanding faster.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to it after it passed. It was only because this person persevered in sending a lot of messages that attracted his attention.
"The owner of Mingsheng Electric? You're looking for me to advertise?" Chi Yi was completely baffled. He thought, "I'm not a big star, but if I want to put up a billboard in his park, that's out of the question." Besides, his park was already using holographic technology as a cover. If he really advertised for an electrical appliance company, wouldn't people misunderstand that the park had licensed the technology to that company?
Just as he was about to refuse, Chi Yizhen suddenly remembered something, "Game, I remember the battery-powered TV I bought before, it seemed to be from this company!"
Game: [Yes.]
Chi Yizheng leaned back in his chair and began to think.
When the dwarf cubs had previously expressed their desire for a large color TV, Chi Yizhen had worried about whether to simply send them a laptop. However, large screens consume a lot of power, and laptops are typically thin and light, so the battery wouldn't last more than a few hours before draining. The same goes for large-screen tablets. While they can be charged with a power bank, they're very fragile and could be rendered useless if dropped.
By chance, Chi Yizheng discovered the battery-powered TV produced by Mingsheng Electric. It had a large screen and good sound. The biggest advantage was that the battery was powerful and could be used for a week without any problems. It was also resistant to drops and durable. So he arranged for it to be used by the dwarf cubs.
The cubs were indeed very satisfied. Chi Yizheng still remembers how the fluffy No. 78 praised him as the boss to his friends after seeing the battery-powered TV.
No. 78: "The TV in the guest room is so thin and flat, it looks cheap at first glance. But the battery-powered TV the boss bought us is so big and heavy. It must have used better materials. And it doesn't even have a cable. I heard guests say that appliances without cables are more expensive these days! The boss is so good to us!"
The group of furry creatures around it opened their eyes wide and exclaimed with it that the boss was so generous.
Thinking of this, Chi Yizhen couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Youxi, do you know why Mingsheng Electric Appliances is on the verge of bankruptcy?"
Game: [Is the quality too poor?]
Chi Yizhen shook his head. "On the contrary, the quality is too good. It's so good that it can withstand countless falls and still last for ten or twenty years. If users don't have demand for it, how can he sell it even if he produces more products?"
You have to remember that other appliance companies now plan for obsolescence, ensuring that appliances break down at the appointed time, so they can maintain a steady stream of customers. They've focused less on quality and more on product appearance to catch the attention of young consumers.
Thinking of this, he suddenly hissed slightly.
When he handed the TV to the dwarfs, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that letting the dwarfs know about the existence of the Thorns Empire would be helpful for his future plans. But if every family in the other world could have such a TV and absorb the values conveyed by the TV, then could the belief in the evil god in that world still be as solid as it is now?
