38: Chapter 38 The Name of Wang Shuo

In the center of W City, at the branch of Chen Group.

President Cheng walked out of the building with a calm expression. He finally suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and let out a long sigh; a feeling of rebirth welled up within him.

The weather outside the building was clear with not a cloud in the sky. The sun had already climbed to the top of the sky, and the scorching sunlight baked the ground.

President Cheng looked at the bright sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Beside him was Yang Ming, who had been inseparable from him ever since they met.

"Did you book it?"

"I did!" Yang Ming said with a face full of excitement. "I booked two units directly! On installment."

"Heh." President Cheng said indifferently, "I ordered ten units, full payment."

"Full... full payment?" Yang Ming was stunned. He did a quick calculation of how much ten units would cost and then exclaimed, "Brother, what kind of company are you actually from?"

To be able to shell out 65 million without even blinking—what kind of scale must that company be?

"Zhenxing Machinery Co., Ltd., have you heard of it?"

"Zhenxing..." Yang Ming stared with wide, speechless eyes. Of course he had heard of it. If he hadn't even heard of this machinery factory that dominated S City and had business all over the country and abroad, he wouldn't need to bother working in the machining industry anymore.

He tentatively asked, "Are... are you President Cheng?"

President Cheng revealed a set of white teeth.

"That is indeed me."

"You... you actually came in person?" Yang Ming said, unable to understand. "You could have completely just sent someone over."

"Hehe." President Cheng smiled. "I'm still used to seeing things with my own eyes. Besides, this time... it was worth the trip."

"Worth the trip? It's more than that." Speaking of this, Yang Ming trembled with excitement. "It's a massive profit! Old... President Cheng, I owe it all to you."

Yang Ming felt a bit fortunate. Fortunately, President Cheng had reminded him early. Before the various experts had popularized the knowledge and before the crowd had realized it, the two of them had squeezed out of the crowd and rushed to the reservation counter, stubbornly booking a few units. Otherwise... thinking of the long lines that had formed, Yang Ming felt a lingering fear.

"No need to thank me; you just happened to catch a good time." President Cheng said with some emotion. "Chen Group has... fought a beautiful comeback battle this time. Machines with this kind of performance cannot be compared to even foreign products of the same level, and it has greatly improved the domestic technological level in the same field. Moreover, just in terms of the system, the gap is so large that other system manufacturers can hardly keep up. Even if they wanted to catch up, it would be extremely difficult. If nothing unexpected happens..."

President Cheng stopped halfway through his sentence, but Yang Ming, who was no longer a novice in the business world, understood perfectly.

Did it even need to be said? Just look at those crazy manufacturer representatives! By the time he left, he had already heard that orders were backed up until the end of next year...

These people were likely all here for the system. After all, in terms of hardware, while Chen Group's products were advanced, they hadn't created a generational gap.

How advanced was this system? Everyone present had seen it. Whatever the Japan system had, it had too, and functions that the Japan system didn't have, it likely had as well.

Especially those bows from the Japan experts; they were like a thunderclap. While it made people feel proud and elated, it also made many outsiders realize the advanced nature and influence of this system.

This was truly... a source of pride, making one feel refreshed all over.

Right now, this news was only known within a limited circle, and he and the others could still occupy a first-mover advantage. But as the evaluation and business competition organized by Chen Group concluded successfully, and as more and more people walked out of the building, the news from the evaluation meeting would spread like wildfire to major newspaper offices and self-media in W City, and finally spread to all parts of the country at an even faster speed via the Internet.

By then, the news of Chen Group launching a heavyweight product would explode throughout the entire industry!

"President Cheng, tell me, what is the background of this Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.?" Yang Ming, who had been sighing with emotion for a long time, seemed to have remembered something and asked again.

In this stunning comeback battle by Chen Group, two names were very critical.

The first was undoubtedly Zhongzhi Pengcheng Technology Co., Ltd. under Chen Group. This company single-handedly designed and launched Chen Group's new generation of Machining Center products, and their physical performance and precision ranked among the top in the country.

And the second was even more dazzling. It was called... Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.!

It was this unknown, unheard-of company that single-handedly designed and created a control system that even the technical experts from W Company of Japan felt ashamed to compare themselves to!

"Never heard of it." President Cheng frowned and pondered for a long time, then shook his head helplessly. "However, to be able to design a system program of this level, they shouldn't be completely unknown. I'll check when I get back; there should be clues."

"Check?" Yang Ming was stunned, then immediately took out his phone and skillfully unlocked it, saying, "No need to go to that much trouble, President Cheng. Because of my business, I specifically downloaded the Tianyancha app on my phone. All kinds of company directories are clear at a glance. Just a moment, I'll check it for us right now."

Yang Ming opened an app, clicked on the input box, and began to enter the name.

"Something like this must have been designed and produced by a large company. How could it be some random small company?" As he typed, Yang Ming muttered with a smile, "Small companies don't have the strength to get industry masters to design systems. Hey? Results are up. Let us see the true face of this company... How is this possible!"

"What is it?" President Cheng asked.

Yang Ming handed the phone to President Cheng. President Cheng glanced at it strangely and read it out softly.

"Enterprise Name: Frontier Technology Co., Ltd."

"Status: Active, operating normally."

"Legal Representative: Wang Shuo?"

"Registered Capital: One... one million RMB."

"Establishment Date..." President Cheng's eyes widened. "2018... October... 14th?"

He was a bit confused. "If I remember correctly... today is... November 1st, right?"

"You remember correctly, President Cheng." Yang Ming took a deep breath. "This company has been established for less than twenty days."

"And there are no shareholders, no business records, no risk assessments, no change records. It is a..." Yang Ming weighed his words. "A small company in the true sense of the word. However, the legal representative is Wang Shuo. Who is this Wang Shuo?"

"President Cheng, you have been in the industry longer than I have. Have you heard of this Wang Shuo?"

"No." President Cheng shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, no need to dwell on this. This company is probably just a shell company put out by Chen Group."

Because of some sensitive matters or content, it is a very common operation to find someone to register a new shell company.

President Cheng was not surprised by this.

But this way, it became even more difficult to figure out who actually designed and created this system.

When Chen Xin stepped into the top-floor office of the Chen Group W City branch again, more than four hours had passed.

"Miss, you are back."

In the office, Chen Zhongxuan was discussing something with Uncle Chen and several other senior executives of the company. Seeing her return, Uncle Chen spoke at the right moment, and the senior executives who were discussing stopped in time and turned their heads to look at Chen Xin.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Xin seemed to see a trace of admiration in their eyes.

"Alright, let's end today's temporary meeting here. Everyone go back and think carefully to see if there is anything to add."

"Okay, Chairman."

The senior executives packed up their notebooks, responded, and filed out.

After everyone had left, Chen Zhongxuan looked up at Chen Xin and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Sit down."

Chen Xin sat down gently.

"Regarding today's matter, you... did well." Chen Zhongxuan said softly. "But doing well doesn't mean you did the right thing."

Chen Xin looked up slightly.

"Regarding today's matter, you made two mistakes." Chen Zhongxuan took the tea handed to him by Uncle Chen, took a sip, and continued: "First, you shouldn't have run a completely unfamiliar system program on brand-new equipment without any testing. If this system hadn't been... very excellent, you would have very likely made a fool of yourself on the spot today."

"It wouldn't matter if you were embarrassed, but your mistake would put us in an extremely disadvantageous position in the upcoming negotiations with W Company. We would not be able to reach any equal agreement with W Company, and the group would pay a higher price for it."

Chen Xin tilted her head slightly.

"Second, you shouldn't have brought out such an advanced system program on your own. If you had told us in advance, and let the company's technical staff systematically test and analyze this program, and formulate a detailed plan, the effect this system could achieve would be much greater!"

Chen Xin pursed her lips.

"The above is your eldest uncle's opinion after learning about this matter."

Chen Xin showed a hint of confusion.

"The eldest master acquired some of the other shareholders' shares, and now his holdings have reached 19.6%. He is the second-largest shareholder of the group. According to the company's articles of association, he is allowed to express his opinions."

Chen Xin blinked and looked at Uncle Chen, who was explaining on the side.

"The following is my opinion." Chen Zhongxuan didn't show any emotion, took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and then said: "You are still a bit too impulsive, Xiner. The third point I want to tell you is that you shouldn't have brought up Wang Shuo's matter without communicating with me. Although you didn't directly point out Wang Shuo's name, you already told the media and others the name of the company."

"Is that wrong?" Chen Xin spoke, her crisp voice sounding very pleasant.

"If he were in my position, naturally there would be no problem, but the problem is, he is just a college freshman. Do you understand?"

Chen Xin nodded thoughtfully.

"How developed is the current network information? Who is the legal representative of Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.? Anyone can find out with a casual search." Chen Zhongxuan paused and continued: "But it's not the worst time yet. Because of Wang Shuo's identity, no one will pay too much attention to him at this stage. Even if they know his name, they will only think he is a smoke bomb we put out."

"However, this window period will not be too long."

"It's also my fault." Chen Zhongxuan sighed. "Actually, ever since I knew about you and Wang Shuo, I haven't taken it to heart, purely thinking you were just messing around. Now it seems, I was wrong."

Chen Xin opened her mouth. She really wanted to tell Chen Zhongxuan that she was indeed just messing around, but she messed around until it turned into this, which was something even she hadn't expected.

"I also read the contract you signed. If I had known that this kid could really come up with this thing, I would definitely not have agreed, but now the contract is already signed..."

Chen Zhongxuan suddenly asked: "Are you sure Wang Shuo single-handedly created a system?"

Chen Xin nodded very firmly.

"Fifteen days?"

"He has no reason to lie to me." Chen Xin thought of Wang Shuo's appearance when he was bargaining with her and said: "And I didn't assign him any auxiliary personnel."

Chen Zhongxuan frowned. One person, fifteen days—he even doubted if he had heard wrong.

This was a basically impossible task. If one person could create a system, then he had spent so much money, even specifically set up another company, and raised so many technical personnel—wouldn't that make him look like an idiot?

Especially since this system was so excellent, it further showed his incompetence.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Zhongxuan made a decision.

"I want to see him."

Meanwhile, the news that Chen Group launched a new type of Machining Center, stepping into the ranks of domestic advanced levels in one fell swoop, and its system even made Japanese technical experts feel ashamed of their own inferiority, finally spread throughout China through reports from major media and self-media. For a time, the stocks of various sectors of Chen Group, which had originally hit the limit down, all rose against the wind, and the heavy industry sector directly hit the limit up.

Various strange posts and articles appeared on the Internet.

"Shocking, why did Japan fall from the altar?"

"Chen Group announces major news!"

"This technology makes Japanese experts cover their faces and cry!"

"Japan is not playing anymore? Why is Japan so furious?"

"Finance Today: Did you buy stocks today?"

For a time, all the enthusiastic netizens who saw the relevant news were discussing it, and the message board under the articles was in an uproar.

"Number one in the country? The system even made Japanese experts cover their faces and cry? When did China become so awesome in the machine tool field? How come I don't know?"

"Bragging without even drafting now, I can see cows flying all over the sky!"

"The China-hater upstairs can't bear to see anything good about China!"

"Everything in China is world number one, okay!"

"The photos are there! Your Japanese daddy knelt down to others!"

"Objective analysis, I am in the machine tool field, and I state that this matter is impossible. Not to mention anything else, just in the system field, our factory just replaced a batch of equipment before the year. The system installation manual was a whole box of A4 paper! No one in the whole factory could understand it. In the end, we had to spend a lot of money to invite Japanese experts to debug and install it personally. The gap is too big."

"Stop arguing, I was on the scene and witnessed it with my own eyes! I guarantee it's true!"

"I'm afraid it was your soul on the scene. If Chen Group could have such awesome things, they would have brought them out long ago. Would they wait until negotiating with W Company to bring them out?"

"I just want to know now, who designed and led the creation of this system? Why not put up a photo for everyone to admire?"

"Admire what? Just say Chen Group is awesome!"

"Really interesting."

In a luxury house somewhere in Beijing, a woman in her thirties was looking at the overwhelming reports on the Internet. Not far from her by the window, a middle-aged man was carefully fiddling with a bonsai.

"The Internet is about to praise Chen Group as a savior. Don't you want to come and see?"

"See what?" The man said indifferently. "The more things are reported, the more moisture they contain."

"That's true too." The woman replied and continued to flip through the posts on the tablet.

"Eh?" The woman's eyes lit up slightly, and she carefully and quickly browsed the content on the screen.

A moment later.

"This post is interesting."

The woman looked at the man and said: "There is a hot post written by Zhichitianya here, mentioning a small company called Frontier Technology Co., Ltd. There is a sense of admiration in the words, which is very interesting. Are you really not going to look at it?"

"Zhichitianya?" The man put down what he was holding, walked to the woman's side, took the tablet, and flipped through it gently with his hand.

The woman didn't disturb him, picked up her water cup and took a sip by herself, looking very lazy and comfortable.

A few minutes later, the man looked up with a thoughtful expression.

"How about it? The registration time is not long, the scale is small, the capital is small, it is not eye-catching, but it has some fame now. If we can take advantage of this east wind, even if it doesn't develop, we won't lose money."

The man nodded slightly: "We can try. You go and check the information of this company and keep paying attention."

"Okay." The woman put down the teacup and stood up: "If it passes the audit, how much should I give?"

"Give it one hundred."

One hundred, that is one hundred W. The woman smiled slightly and went out.

"Chen Group."

The middle-aged man looked out the window and muttered to himself.
