Zhang Qingyi's requirements for the person to take over her position were not high.
But unexpectedly, even this simple request was obstructed. She said helplessly:
"It must be because he was targeted by his peers. There are rumors circulating that the professor stole other people's experimental results."
"Before, they were ripping off foreigners; now they're ripping off their own compatriots." Lu Fan hadn't expected this situation. He frowned, then relaxed.
"Our project is still in its early stages, and there may not be suitable candidates in China yet."
Specialized talents are already few and far between, and even if they exist, they are mostly concentrated in universities and high-end enterprises in various industries.
Fanyue Group started relatively late, and if it can recruit talent with just one project, we'll have to wait and see what happens after this press conference.
When that time comes, the human resources department won't have to worry so much that their hair turns white because no one is coming to apply.
The problem then will probably be finding out which of the many talented people is the most suitable.
The day of the press conference arrived quickly.
According to Lu Fan's idea, the main focus should be on the product.
We'll skip all those superficial publicity campaigns and events.
However, the mayor of Nanshan City clearly had his own ideas. Wang Mingtang personally approached Lu Fan, wanting the mayor's side to take over: "Our idea is to make this event more lively and high-end."
"This is not only helping your Fanyue Group, but also for the development of our Nanshan City."
"It would be best if more investment could be attracted, and if companies could come here to build factories and develop."
He explained the purpose of his visit in just a few words.
Wang Mingtang is very different from the Wang family; after all, he is not a direct descendant.
Wang Mingtang, who broke out of the Wang family's ecosystem and got to where he is now through his own abilities, is obviously more capable than most people in the Wang family, and even Wang Qishan, the eldest son of the Wang family who was forced into the position of family head.
His private interactions with Lu Fan thus became even more natural. Wang Mingtang intended to cultivate a good relationship with him, and it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Lu Fan saw no need to refuse, so he gladly accepted the city's offer.
Several invitations had already been sent out a month before the press conference.
However, it is clear that there were still many uninvited business partners and industry leaders.
The security personnel did not intend to make things difficult for them.
Even without an invitation, they were allowed to enter the inner venue after their identity information was verified.
Lu Fan initially refused to invite the media and platform representatives, but through Wang Mingtang's mediation, he selectively accepted the invitations to attend.
Soon, these media professionals, as if they had discovered a new continent, began chattering in hushed tones:
"Look, am I seeing things? Why does that old man look so familiar?"
"Wow, am I seeing things too? Isn't that Warren Buffett, the stock market guru?"
"It really is him! Look, he's surrounded by a bunch of big shots." "This Fanyue Group is really something, they actually managed to get this guy out of retirement?"
"Hehe, I just went over and inquired. This old money-grubber came on his own. The press conference didn't even send him an invitation!"
"What kind of influence does Fanyue Group have?"
"What kind of power do they have? Haven't you heard? The new energy technologies they possess could very well cause a major reshuffle in the global energy industry."
"What market capitalization of hundreds of billions or trillions? It collapsed and was completely wiped out in an instant, so..."
Even seasoned tycoons and veteran investors have to come and take a look...
"Wow, look over there! Isn't that last year's world's richest man? He's here too! I want to go take a picture with him."
Before the press conference even started, a group of media people were already wandering around the venue, eating and taking pictures.
Everyone was excited.
Only Wan Yaxin was not in a good mood.
He didn't have an invitation; it took a lot of effort to build a connection and get a "friend" to bring him in.
Seeing the world's richest man, Mr. Mike, being led to the private room, he became even more depressed.
Even more frustrated than him were the partners from the other companies and groups with whom Lu Fan had previously collaborated on the new energy project.
This includes Kuang Peisheng, president of the Huanmei Group.
His expression was also quite unpleasant at that moment.
After all, it was Kwong Pui-sang who guided Lu Fan into this project in the first place. And what was the result?
A perfectly good project was completed, but Lu Fan ended up reaping all the benefits.
These financial tycoons were all potential partners of theirs back then.
They all went to Lu Fan.
They never considered that even if the peaches weren't picked, the research results might still end up benefiting Huanmei Group.
If Huanmei Group could still afford to invest, it wouldn't have acted as a go-between for Lu Fan.
It can only be said that everything has a cause and an effect.
After estimating the amount of money that Fan Yue Group would earn from this project, Kuang Peisheng was completely disheartened.
soon.
Dejected, Wan Yaxin sought out the resentful Kuang Peisheng.
Kuang Peisheng said in a rather annoyed tone:
"Oh, Mr. Wan? I didn't expect you to be here too."
