Now that the details of the cooperation had been finalized, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Smith looked at Mo Yuan, smiled, and said easily, "Mo, now that things have progressed to this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore."
We still need to thoroughly verify your technology. If everything is in order, then we can sign the contract. I'm sure you won't mind us being so cautious, will you?
Mo Yuan smiled and replied, "Of course, my friend. From now on, we are partners. I will not hold anything back from you." Then, Mo Yuan and the technical team brought by Smith verified the technology he had provided once again.
This time the data was more detailed, but Mo Yuan still dared not let his guard down. After all, this was a crucial stage, and no negligence could be tolerated. If the technology were stolen at a critical moment, all his efforts would have been in vain.
Therefore, Mo Yuan remained vigilant to prevent the other party from taking photos or making copies. The other party, clearly unprepared for Mo Yuan's cautiousness, had no choice but to abandon their plan.
After another rigorous verification, the result was unsurprising: the technology provided by Mo Yuan was indeed more advanced than their existing technology. Although they didn't know how Mo Yuan had obtained it, now was not the time to delve into the details. The immediate priority was to finalize the contract as soon as possible, transform these technologies into tangible results, and quickly bring them to market.
The technical team leader immediately reported the situation to Smith. Although he was already fairly certain of the technology's authenticity, Smith was still deeply shaken upon receiving confirmation. Where did this young man named Mo Yuan come from?
Although Wilson mentioned their visit to Teacher Zhou in Xiaomo Village, claiming that the technology originated elsewhere and that he had entrusted Mo Yuan with all matters related to the collaboration, the experienced Smith keenly sensed that this might just be a charade orchestrated by Mo Yuan, and that the technology was actually his own creation. This was an enigmatic young man, whose every move exuded sophistication and maturity.
Such a young man is simply too intriguing. It would be wonderful if he could be of use to me. However, Smith also knew that the other party had been wary of him throughout the negotiations, clearly very guarded, and it was impossible for him to join his company.
However, having this technology would also be very beneficial for the company's development. Once production begins, it will allow them to take the lead internationally, ensuring their company stands out from the competition. Compared to that, one million US dollars is nothing; they shouldn't be greedy. The remaining task is to finalize the contract and get production started as soon as possible.
However, while Smith's team was preparing the contract, Mo Yuan wasn't idle. In the conference room, he was facing questioning from a group of powerful figures. These figures included not only the one from the province, but also important individuals like Bao Rui, Jin Tian, and Yu Shan. At this moment, they were all feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Previously, they had promised Mo Yuan that if he could obtain a set of equipment for free, any extra money would be his personal possession. However, faced with this current situation, they felt extremely troubled. The provincial leaders looked grim, unsure how to handle the matter. Bao Rui and Tian Yushan exchanged bewildered glances, and finally, Bao Rui spoke up, asking Mo Yuan what he intended to do with the money.
"Mo Yuan, is this what you call 'small change'? A year? A million? US dollars? Do you know how much that money can buy? Small change? Now what are we going to do? Tell me."
Mo Yuan inwardly groaned. What does it matter to you guys how much money I have? Back then, when Smith said he'd make 100,000 a year, you guys were all hoping I'd agree quickly. Now that I've secured a million myself, why aren't you happy?
But there was no other way; he couldn't afford to offend these people, so he had to find a way to deal with them. After some thought, he offered a solution:
"How about this? I know our country is facing a foreign exchange shortage right now, and I can't spend the US dollars they gave me. How about we exchange them for our country's currency or other things according to the exchange rate, and then hand over these US dollars to the country to see if we can help build our socialism?"
"It's also a personal contribution. Besides, even if I get the money, I still want to give back to my hometown in the end. Once the factory is set up, it will not only solve the employment problem, but also provide tax revenue for the county and the country. Why not? I won't be the only one who benefits; this will also be considered your achievement!" After Mo Yuan finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to respond. Despite some lingering discontent, Mo Yuan's proposal did indeed have its merits. If the money could be used to develop their hometown, create jobs, and increase tax revenue, it would be a boon to the entire region. Furthermore, it would demonstrate patriotism and contribute to the development of socialism.
After some thought, Bao Ruijin was the first to speak up in agreement: "Mr. Mo is right. If we can make good use of these funds, it will have a positive impact on our county and the country." The others echoed his sentiments, expressing their support for Mo Yuan's suggestion.
Seeing that everyone agreed to his proposal, Mo Yuan smiled and nodded. He knew that although he was giving up some benefits, in the long run, it would earn him more reputation and support. At the same time, he also hoped to make a greater contribution to the development of his hometown through this approach.
Next, the group began discussing the specific implementation plan. They needed to determine how to convert the US dollars into RMB or other assets and ensure that the money was safely delivered. Furthermore, they needed to consider how to allocate the US dollars to maximize their effectiveness.
The meeting lasted a long time and ultimately reached a series of consensuses. Everyone agreed that relevant departments should be contacted as soon as possible to prepare for the US dollar exchange procedures and to develop a detailed plan for the use of funds. At the same time, supervision and management should be strengthened to ensure that every penny is used effectively.
As the meeting ended, Mo Yuan felt a sense of relief. He knew that this decision not only concerned his personal interests but also the future of his hometown. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would surely achieve their common goal and make their hometown a better place.
Everyone was satisfied when, suddenly, a voice came from a corner.
"Um, wasn't it supposed to be two sets of equipment for free? What about the one for our province?"
