Chapter 218 The stolen gongs and drums cannot be beaten
"Besides, with so many research institutions around the world, why can't our company be the first to develop this kind of thing?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tiansheng pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"What you say seems to make some sense, but why should I believe you?"
"Oh dear, we were also asked to do this. We know you are Professor Dai's top student, and we are also working on this project."
"I wonder how far along this home theater system is in development?"
Ling Tiansheng stared at Wang Dashan in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"I can tell you this clearly, and it's not exactly a leak, but the product has been developed and is in the initial trial production stage."
Wang Dashan, the head of the headhunting firm, immediately had a gleam in his eye.
"What? It's already in the initial trial production stage."
"That's too fast! Young man, we'll give you another 5 yuan, and 10 yuan upfront. If you can help us get a relevant blueprint."
"What, you're giving me 10 yuan? Well..."
Ling Tiansheng closed his eyes briefly, his expression conflicted.
Wang Dashan, standing to the side, felt uneasy but didn't dare to speak.
He also knew that Ling Tiansheng was making a major decision.
Soon after, Ling Tiansheng opened his eyes.
At this moment, an excited look flashed across his face.
"I hope you can keep your word and that after I find the blueprints for you, the subsequent payments can be made in a timely manner."
Upon hearing that Ling Tiansheng had finally agreed, Wang Dashan was overjoyed and, in his excitement, patted his chest loudly.
"Don't worry, brother, we're the most trustworthy. As long as you give us the relevant drawings, money is absolutely no problem, and we won't delay payment..."
Edward Grand Company branch.
Upon receiving the blueprints, Pope looked at Wang Dashan with excitement, his breathing becoming heavy.
"You got the blueprints so quickly, you did a great job."
Wang Dashan was flattered by Pope's praise.
This is Edwards Corporation, a well-known company internationally.
Unexpectedly, they found him and told him to keep an eye on a research and development team.
Because of the generous reward, Wang Dashan led his men to begin following up and surveillance with all their might.
Fortunately, the relevant drawings were obtained very quickly.
You could tell how happy Pope was from his excited tone.
“Friend, you did a great job. In the future, if we have any work in this area, I will definitely choose to continue to cooperate with you.”
"In addition, you can settle the money promised to you with the finance department."
Wang Dashan nodded excitedly, got up and left...
At this moment, Pope's excited gaze fell on the dozen or so drawings in front of him.
He had previously instructed his subordinates to spread rumors that he planned to produce educational machines and game consoles to cripple Zhang Dong's company. However, the other party showed no reaction whatsoever, which infuriated Bobel.
They are an internationally renowned company, but after targeting a large electronics company, the other party actually refused their acquisition offer. What audacity!
Furious, Pope was thinking of creating a project to replicate the learning machine.
But then he heard a rumor that Zhang Dong's company had started producing new electronic products.
Upon hearing the news, he could no longer remain calm. If the news was true, and he tried to replicate the learning machine project, he would lose control of Zhang Dong's domineering company and might even lose everything.
After sending people to continue inquiring about the news, they learned that the rumors were highly likely.
Moreover, his subordinates also learned that Dai Wangcheng, a university professor and professional mentor, had had preliminary discussions and exchanges with Zhang Dong, and it was possible that their team was the one who took on Zhang Dong's research and development project.
Upon learning this news, Bobel immediately contacted a headhunting firm, the same firm where Wang Dashan worked.
Fortunately, everything is under control.
He finally got his hands on the design blueprints for the home theater.
Pope stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the word "VCD" written on it.
"What? VCD? Haha, not bad, not bad."
Popel, beaming with excitement, turned around and eagerly gave instructions to his assistant.
"Make arrangements so that we can promote and hype the VCD product concept extensively in relevant media."
Pope wasn't a fool; he did this to leave behind relevant evidence.
After being widely publicized by the relevant media, it was proven that the idea and concept of VCD was first proposed by their company.
Then they can use the blueprints to carry out the relevant production, so even if Zhang Dong discovers that the technical data has been leaked, he won't be held responsible.
He had previously used this method to acquire numerous new product development blueprints from around the world...
"Okay, President. Next, I will contact the relevant media to promote and hype the concept of VCD, so that the people of Daxia will know what it is from the outset."
Popel nodded: "That's right, let's get them excited first."
"So, those factories and companies we established before, which were originally intended to produce learning machines, can now have their strategic deployment adjusted. Instead of producing learning machines, we should put VCDs into mass production first."
The reason for adjusting the deployment is that it is felt that Zhangdong's electronics company has fully launched learning machines and game consoles into the market.
In this situation, even if their company imitates and follows suit, the profits won't be significant.
Instead of doing that, they might as well take advantage of the fact that Zhang Dong's company hasn't started producing VCDs yet and speed up their production.
Even in the worst-case scenario, it would result in a situation where two companies vie for supremacy.
Comparing the two, it's not difficult to choose which production yields the greatest profit.
The assistant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, President. With this adjustment, we might achieve the same result by different means, and even accidentally bring down Zhang Dong's company."
Popel was very excited to be praised by his assistant.
"Don't rush to leave. Explain what 'different paths lead to the same destination' means first?"
Seeing the president's puzzled expression, the assistant began to explain.
"Boss, Zhang Dong refused our offer to acquire him outright, but he would never have dreamed that we've already obtained the blueprints for the VCD player."
"This way we've essentially found their weakness, and we might be able to defeat them in one fell swoop."
"This kid disagreed with the acquisition in the first place. If the final result is that our company crushes them, wouldn't this kid have suffered a huge loss? This is also the meaning of different paths leading to the same goal."
"Oh, I see. Haha, not bad."
"However, your reminder reminds me of that arrogant brat. First, you should hype up the concept of VCDs through the media. Next, I need to meet this arrogant and conceited Zhang Dong..."
"What, boss? You still want to see him? There's a saying in Daxia: 'You can't play a stolen gong.' Going to see him now doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
