Reborn the mountain village and became the richest man from selling mountain goods

Chapter 1080 Independent Research and Development
Lao Wang was very conflicted. On the one hand, the other party was obviously asking for an exorbitant price, but on the other hand, the project could not be delayed any longer.

Before Jack, they had already tried to contact equipment manufacturers in other countries!

It was pretty good when we first started chatting!

Later, they heard that the equipment was going to be shipped to Central China!
They simply refused to talk anymore!

Jack is the only one willing to meet!

Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Jack, your price is really too high. Can you lower it a little bit?"

Jack shook his head firmly, "Boss Wang, this is already the lowest price, it can't be lowered any further."

Lao Wang slammed the table angrily, "You are simply taking advantage of the situation!" But when he thought about the urgency of the project, he finally sighed helplessly, "I need to discuss this with my superiors!"

If it is within the normal price range!

Lao Wang can still make his own decision!
But now it is beyond his power!

So I need to ask for instructions!
It didn't take long to ask for instructions, and Lao Wang came back soon!

You can see from his expression that he is still a little helpless!

Coming to Jack, Lao Wang said, "Okay, I'll go with the price you said, but you have to guarantee me the follow-up service!"

Jack instantly showed a smug smile on his face, "Boss Wang, rest assured, we will provide you with good service."

Lao Wang's heart was filled with helplessness and frustration, but he could only swallow his anger and accept this unfair deal. He only hoped that the equipment could be in place as soon as possible so that the project could proceed smoothly and at least some of the losses could be recovered.

Jack had a smug smile on his face. He leaned back, folded his hands, and continued, "Boss Wang, there are a few more conditions you have to agree to, otherwise this deal won't work. First, the equipment must be transported by the shipping company we designate, and you will pay for it all. Second, within one year after the equipment is installed, all maintenance costs must be borne by you. Third, if you need technical upgrades in the future, you must come to us first, and we will decide the price."

"And the fourth rule is that the manganese ore you mine can only be used in ordinary industry!"

"If it is used in the Jingu Project!"

"Or share some data with us!"

"Or you lose money! A total of 4 trillion US dollars!"

Old Wang, who seemed quite happy just now, became ugly again after hearing the conditions proposed by Jack!

I didn’t expect that agreeing to sell wouldn’t work!
They actually put forward these conditions!

And each one is more excessive than the last!
Especially the last one!
This clearly shows that they don't want the Jingu plan to go forward!
I didn’t expect that the enemy had been so miserable in every aspect!
Old Wang's eyes widened, his face flushed with anger, and he slammed the table, "Jack, you're going too far! This is simply an unfair clause!" In his heart, he cursed Jack's ancestors for eighteen generations, "This bastard is so greedy that he wants to swallow an elephant. He really treats me as a sucker!"

Jack, however, still had that condescending attitude and smiled contemptuously, "Boss Wang, don't be impatient. This is all to ensure the smooth use of the equipment and the quality of service. If you don't agree, then this business will really fail."

Lao Wang's chest was heaving violently, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He gritted his teeth, stared at Jack, and cursed in his heart: "This shameless guy is so arrogant because he has the equipment, but the project can't wait. What should I do?"

After a moment of silence, Lao Wang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said in a trembling voice: "Jack, you really don't leave me any room at all."

Jack shrugged and said, "Boss Wang, this is not my problem. Please think about it carefully."

"Humph!"

Lao Wang stood up and left!
How could Lao Wang agree to such an unreasonable request from Jack?
Although the Shrine Project was under Chen An’s arrangement, there was no need to keep it secret!

But you can’t share the important data in this way!

And what is the purpose of mining manganese ore?
Isn't it because the Jingu Project requires manganese ore that advanced mining equipment is purchased from abroad?

It seems that the enemy clearly does not want Zhongyuan to carry out this entire plan!

Lao Wang will go back soon to report!

And everyone already knew in advance about the unreasonable demands made by the other party!
In the conference room.

Lao Wang sat at the head of the conference table with a serious expression.

He had just returned from a negotiation with Jack with infuriating news.

"Everyone," Lao Wang took a deep breath, his voice steady and powerful, "Jack proposed a series of unreasonable conditions, which is completely suppressing us and trying to put us in a passive position."

When everyone heard this, anger and dissatisfaction appeared on their faces.

"This is simply too much!" Technical backbone Xiao Li slammed the table and stood up, "Do they think they can make us surrender like this?"

Lao Zhang, the head of the R&D department, then said, "Lao Wang, what do you think we should do?"

Lao Wang looked at everyone present with a firm gaze, and then said in a sonorous voice: "My thoughts are very clear, we refuse to cooperate with them! We have our own strength and wisdom, why should we be at their mercy?"

"Yes! Let's do it ourselves!" everyone echoed in unison.

"We need to conduct independent research and development to break their monopoly!" Xiao Wang clenched his fists excitedly.

Lao Wang nodded slightly and said, "The road of independent research and development will not be easy, but as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

"But funding, technology, and talent are all realistic issues," said Financial Director Xiao Liu.

"In terms of funding, we will find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. In terms of technology, everyone will use their expertise to overcome difficulties together. We will discover and cultivate talents internally, and at the same time recruit people with aspirations from outside." Lao Wang analyzed in an orderly manner.

"Lao Wang is right. We can't be intimidated by difficulties." Xiao Zhao from the R&D team said, "As long as we are determined, we will succeed!"

"Okay! It's decided then. Let's all take action and go all out for our independent research and development!" Lao Wang waved his hand, "Without further delay, we will set up a special team immediately!" At Lao Wang's command, everyone took action quickly.

In the team office, the members sat together, and the table was piled with various documents and materials. Team leader Xiao Li took a pen and wrote the words "Technician Recruitment" on the whiteboard.

"Let's first compile the information of relevant technical personnel we have available." Xiao Li said.

The members opened their computers one after another and quickly browsed the database. After a while, pieces of information were sorted out.

"I found an engineer named Zhang Yu who has rich experience in the field of mining equipment." Xiao Wang said excitedly.

"I also found someone named Li Hua, who had participated in the research and development of many large-scale mining equipment projects." Xiao Zhao continued.

In this way, they quickly collected information on five relevant technicians.

Xiao Li looked at the information and said seriously, "These five people are the talents we urgently need. We must do everything we can to invite them back."

"Then how do we divide the work and make contact?" Xiao Zhou asked.

"Xiao Wang, you are responsible for contacting Zhang Yu; Xiao Zhao, you contact Li Hua; Xiao Zhou, you..." Xiao Li assigned the tasks in an orderly manner.

"No problem, we will complete the task!" everyone responded in unison.

In a corner of the bustling city, stands a modern technology building. That is where Zhang Yu works.

Zhang Yu, a talented engineer, devoted himself to this industry with full enthusiasm and ambition, but he never expected that he would fall into such a difficult situation. Zhang Yu's department is the core R&D department of the company. Logically, his professional ability and innovative thinking should be highly valued. However, the fact is just the opposite.

One day, the department manager called everyone to a meeting to discuss an important new project. Zhang Yu came to the meeting room early and prepared his carefully prepared plan.

The next day, when he was about to express his opinions enthusiastically, the manager interrupted him directly: "Zhang Yu, don't speak first, let the experienced colleagues speak first." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yu's face, and his heart suddenly sank: "Why doesn't the manager even give me a chance to speak? Is it because I have little experience?" But he still sat down silently.

During the meeting, a senior colleague proposed a plan. Although it had obvious flaws, the manager nodded and praised it: "This plan is good. Does anyone have any additional comments?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Manager, I think this plan may not be feasible in some aspects. For example, the cost is too high, and there is also a certain degree of difficulty in technical implementation."

The manager frowned and said impatiently: "Zhang Yu, you've only been here for a short time, what do you know? Just follow this plan first." Zhang Yu put his hand down helplessly, feeling disappointed. He thought to himself: "My suggestion obviously makes sense, why doesn't the manager want to listen? Is it that in his eyes, I am so untrustworthy?"

During the implementation of the project, Zhang Yu found that many problems would arise if the existing plan was followed. He repeatedly proposed improvements to the manager, but was ignored.

Once, Zhang Yu found his manager in the office and said sincerely: "Manager, I really think we need to adjust the plan, otherwise the project may be delayed." The manager looked at him coldly and said: "Zhang Yu, just do your job well and don't worry about so much."

Zhang Yu felt wronged and thought angrily: "I am devoted to the project and the company, so how can I be considered as meddling in other people's business? Should I just watch the project fail?"

Zhang Yu felt very aggrieved, but he still decided to stick to his own ideas. He communicated with some colleagues in private, hoping to get support. However, his colleagues all avoided him.

"Zhang Yu, don't pull me. I don't want to offend the manager." said a colleague.

"That's right, if you want to be in the spotlight, don't drag us down." Another colleague echoed.

Zhang Yu felt extremely lonely and helpless. He muttered to himself, "Does pursuing the truth and a better solution mean seeking attention? Why are people so afraid of offending their managers and unwilling to speak up for the quality of their work?"

At a group discussion, Zhang Yu again put forward his ideas.

This time, the manager got completely mad: "Zhang Yu, are you deliberately going against me? This project doesn't need your opinion!"

Zhang Yu couldn't help it and said loudly: "Manager, I'm just doing this for the good of the project. Why don't you listen to me?" At this time, Zhang Yu's heart was full of anger and confusion. He didn't understand why his sincerity was always so ruthlessly trampled upon.

The manager slammed the table and said, "Who do you think you are? I have the final say in this department!"

Since then, Zhang Yu's situation in the department has become more difficult. When work tasks are assigned, he is always assigned to the most tedious and least important parts.

"Zhang Yu, I'll leave these chores to you." Colleagues threw some trivial tasks to him.

"Why is it always me?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's your fault for not listening to the manager." The colleagues replied with a sneer.

Zhang Yu's heart was filled with pain and helplessness: "Do I have to be treated so unfairly just because I insist on my own point of view?"

He had no share in the company's welfare distribution.

"Why am I not included in this training opportunity?" Zhang Yu went to the human resources department to ask.

The HR manager said helplessly: "This is a decision from above, there is nothing I can do about it."

Zhang Yu understood that this was because he was not liked by his manager. His heart seemed to sink to the bottom, and he began to doubt his own value and ability: "Am I really so bad that I am disliked by everyone?"

Even the usual team activities, no one invited him to participate.

"We are having a dinner party this weekend, Zhang Yu, so don't come." His colleagues deliberately said this in front of him.

Zhang Yu could only return to his workstation in silence, feeling bitter. He didn't understand why he was treated like this when he was devoted to his work and the company. He felt extremely confused and lost, and was full of worries about the future: "Is my career going to be spent being excluded like this?"

In such a depressing environment, Zhang Yu's enthusiasm for work gradually faded. He began to become taciturn and just mechanically completed the work at hand every day.

However, just when he felt desperate, an unexpected phone call changed his fate. The person on the other end of the phone was a company that was developing its own mining equipment. They had heard of Zhang Yu's talent and hoped that he could join their team...

……

Li Hua graduated from a top domestic prestigious university. He once entered the society with unlimited dreams and ambitions.

During his time at university, Li Hua worked hard with his classmates and looked forward to a brilliant future. After graduation, his classmates have made their mark in their respective fields. Some have started successful businesses and become well-known entrepreneurs; some have joined large companies and quickly been promoted to senior management; and some have achieved outstanding achievements in the academic field.

However, Li Hua, despite his solid professional knowledge and outstanding abilities, is still just a small technician.

One day, Li Hua received an invitation to a college reunion. At the reunion, the classmates talked and laughed, sharing their success stories.

"I just closed a big deal, and the size of the company has doubled." Classmate A said proudly.

"The paper I recently published has caused a great response in the industry, and many of my colleagues have come to me for advice." Student B smiled proudly.

Li Hua sat quietly in the corner, listening with a smile, but feeling mixed emotions.

At this time, a classmate came over, patted Li Hua on the shoulder and said, "Li Hua, I heard that you are a technician, why are you developing so slowly?"

Li Hua forced a smile and replied, "Maybe I'm just unlucky."

"Oh, it's not a matter of luck, you have to take the initiative and seize the opportunity!" said the classmate.

Li Hua nodded and said nothing more.

After the party, Li Hua walked home alone with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Why are they all so successful, while I am still standing still? Where is the future? Will I just live a mediocre life like this?" Li Hua felt extremely confused. "I see my classmates are so successful, but I don't know where I am going. Every step I take is like groping in the dark. The unknown and uncertainty terrify me."

When I got home, my wife asked with concern, "How was the party?"

Li Hua sighed and said, "My classmates are all successful, but I feel like a failure."

The wife felt bad after hearing this. She thought to herself, "Hua Zi has always been excellent and worked very hard, but the opportunity has not come yet. I have to give him more support and encouragement and not let him become depressed." So she comforted Li Hua and said, "Don't think like that. You have always worked very hard, but you just haven't met the right opportunity yet."

Li Hua fell into deep thought: "Am I really not working hard enough? Or am I going in the wrong direction? The future is like a fog to me. I try to see it clearly, but I am always powerless."

At work, Li Hua still worked diligently, but he became more and more confused.

"Master, how do we solve this technical problem?" asked the new intern.

Li Hua answered the questions patiently, but couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Am I going to keep answering questions for others like this, without making any bigger breakthroughs? Will I be stuck in this small technical position in the future, unable to realize my ambitions?"

When the leader passed by, he just glanced at him indifferently and did not express any praise or encouragement for Li Hua's work.

Li Hua gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I must change the status quo and prove my ability! But the road ahead is so bumpy, can I really succeed?"

At home, his wife looked at Li Hua's exhausted figure, feeling distressed and anxious: "I really hope he can find his own opportunity soon and realize his own value. I believe he can do it."

However, the road to change is full of hardships and challenges. Whether Li Hua can get out of the predicament and realize his dream is still an unknown...

But at this moment!

A letter from the Jingu Project was delivered to Li Hua!
