Chapter 257 What a refined scoundrel!
Chapter 257 What a refined scoundrel!
Unexpectedly, after so much time has passed, Edward Company has always been an agent of Zhang Dongba Company.
He immediately understood Zhang Dong's meaning; although Zhang Dong hadn't said it so bluntly, his intention was already quite clear.
Zhang Deng meant that he was overestimating his abilities.
Even a company as influential internationally as Edwards can only act as his agent. In terms of strength, their Arado company is simply no match for Edwards' company. What face do they have to talk about cooperation with him?
Understanding the meaning behind Zhang Dong's words, the president of Alado Company turned and left angrily...
"Hey, you didn't even say goodbye when you left?"
Behind them came Zhang Dong's mocking laughter.
It's really ridiculous.
Zhang Dong was truly astonished that an unknown small company actually wanted to cooperate with them and even blatantly sent technical personnel over.
I also witnessed firsthand the shamelessness of these foreign bosses...
To Zhang Dong's shock, he realized that there were quite a few foreign companies eyeing his company.
After the president of Claddo Company left, the presidents of two other foreign companies arrived. These foreigners were quite direct; they got straight to the point as soon as they arrived, exuding confidence.
It seemed as if Zhang Dong would readily agree once they asked.
Zhang Dong's attitude quickly made them realize what extreme embarrassment meant.
Although not a direct rejection, Zhang Dong's subtle refusal made the two companies seeking cooperation understand his intentions.
They eventually had to admit that wilted radishes can be incredibly spicy...
Zhang Dong didn't come to the international conference alone; he brought several of the company's vice presidents with him.
Three foreign companies approached Zhang Dong in succession seeking cooperation, which surprised the three vice presidents. One of the vice presidents, surnamed Wang, remarked to Zhang Dong with admiration.
"Boss, something feels off. Are we here for a seminar?"
Zhang Dong smiled and looked at him: "Why aren't you attending a seminar?"
Vice President Wang's lips twitched: "I always felt that these foreigners were treating us like a piece of fat meat. Before the meeting even started, they had already approached three companies seeking cooperation."
Mr. Li, standing to the side, frowned and nodded: "That's right. And their attitude just now... they acted like we were complete fools, cooperating with us as if they were the emperor's daughter marrying into the family..."
Seeing his subordinates' reaction, Zhang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His current feeling is that he is not worthy of the great reputation he has received.
Seeing the current situation, Zhang Dong also sensed that something was wrong. He even began to wonder if this meeting was being held specifically to target him.
He himself also used his experience of being reborn to avoid being held hostage by foreigners, which is why he focused on developing computers and other electronic products.
But what's going on now? Are these foreign companies directly targeting us?
Zhang Dong's eyes narrowed.
In their previous life, these great powers strangled them, erecting technological barriers to prevent Great Xia from mastering cutting-edge high-tech technologies.
Having been reborn in this life, in order to avoid such a situation, he has on many occasions encouraged responsible entrepreneurs to take responsibility and do their best to improve the level of technological development, so as to avoid being strangled by others.
Only when entrepreneurs like him have a sense of responsibility and mission, and leave these Western countries far behind in terms of technology, will we no longer have to suffer such humiliation from them.
Zhang Dong thought this way, and he did this way.
Unexpectedly, just as their company was starting to show promise, they were targeted by these foreign companies. Three companies came in succession to discuss business, which surprised Zhang Dong.
Meanwhile, in another huge conference room not far away, Wilson, the president of the Pesta Group, the organizer of this meeting, frowned and glared fiercely at the other participants.
“We just sent three relatively unknown company presidents to negotiate with this Zhang Dong, but this kid is really hard to deal with. He doesn’t say he won’t cooperate with them, but he uses all sorts of methods to make them back down. This shows that he’s very cunning.”
"Yes, President Wilson, the main purpose of this high-level seminar in the electronics industry is to obtain the research and development results of Zhang Dong and his team, so as to take computer research and development to the next level."
"But now, Zhang Dong's dominant company is far ahead of us in terms of technology, and that's something we can't tolerate..."
Wilson's expression was cold: "If you can't tolerate it, what can you do? I feel this kid is difficult to deal with."
The president of another company nearby was very unconvinced: "President Wilson, don't boost others' morale and dampen our own. Maybe Zhang Dong looked down on those three companies that just passed by, after all, their companies aren't very well-known."
"After the conference ends tomorrow, we'll send a few more well-known companies to negotiate with him. I don't believe they can resist the huge temptation of cooperating with big companies."
"As far as I know, there's a prevailing Western-worshipping mentality at this university. They generally believe that the moon is always brighter on our side than on theirs..."
"Haha, that's right, this is just the beginning. I refuse to believe that this kid is an oddball..."
Hearing these comments, Wilson's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
"Hmm, hmm, okay, anyway, we can't let this powerful Chinese conglomerate ride on our necks and shit on us. That's the status of the Dongda people in the international arena."
As he said this, Wilson contemptuously extended one of his little fingers.
"But this kid has now surpassed us in computer research and development. We absolutely cannot allow that. This time, we've received instructions from higher-ups: either cooperate with him or eliminate him..."
On the other side, in Zhang Dong's bedroom, although it was late at night and quiet, his three vice presidents were still in his room.
Having witnessed these events in succession, Zhang Dong became more vigilant.
After negotiations, he finally made the decision: "Let's see how things go tomorrow. I reckon this time, they're just using this as a front. They call it an electronics product R&D seminar, but I think they're just after our computer R&D technology..."
"Boss, these foreigners are such 'refined scoundrels,' all dressed in suits, but they all reek of mutton. It's disgusting..."
Zhang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, shut up! It's wrong of you to swear. Our highest level is to swear without using any vulgar words."
Just moments ago, President Lin was furious. He quickly admitted his mistake: "Boss, it was my fault. But these guys are just too infuriating."
