Chapter 70

"Blue Charm Technology, is it really you who created it?" Blue Phoenix looked at Hao Meng in disbelief, the amount of information was overwhelming, making it hard for her to accept it temporarily.

The smart voice software 'Smart Xiao Lan' under Blue Charm Technology had already been installed over 15 million times, including her, she had gradually gotten used to the presence of 'Xiao Lan' during this period. Yesterday, Blue Charm Technology added English, Japanese, and Korean versions of Smart Xiao Lan, officially confirming its global expansion.

Yesterday afternoon, within thirteen minutes, two products of Blue Charm Technology, 'Blue Charm A1' and 'Storm Watch,' sold 20,000 units.

All of these were full pre-orders, with delivery within six months.

At first, Blue Phoenix didn't quite understand why the delivery would be in six months, but now she knew that the products hadn't even been finalized yet!

"You can say that!" Hao Meng chuckled, scratching his foot.

Blue Phoenix looked at him from head to toe, and there was nothing about him that resembled a billionaire. Could this be the legendary tech geek? After a long while, she had to accept this shocking reality.

Judging from the online pre-order frenzy last night, it wasn't just 10,000 units; even 100,000 units might be pre-ordered within three hours!

With such data, they could negotiate terms with world-class suppliers. What kind of attraction would a million units a year be for those contract manufacturers?

Blue Phoenix took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "You really keep your mouth shut tight. Alright, I admit you've got me. Do you know how much Blue Charm Technology is valued by the outside world?"

"How much?" Hao Meng asked with a smile.

"Ten billion, in US dollars!" Blue Phoenix said with a bitter smile.

Hao Meng shook his head and said nonchalantly, "The day before yesterday, I valued 'Blue Charm Technology' at 100 billion US dollars. If any company is willing to put up 20 billion US dollars, I would be willing to sell 20% of the shares. But now, the value of Blue Charm Technology has reached 30 billion US dollars. For 20 billion US dollars, I can only offer 8% of the shares!"

If it weren't for the fact that Blue Charm Technology had fully pre-sold 20,000 units of the phone and watch yesterday, she would have laughed and called Hao Meng a dreamer. But now... those four words were impossible to say.

Apple's market value is 700 billion US dollars!

Why shouldn't Blue Charm Technology be worth 50 billion US dollars?

"Ding: Blue Blue's urgent text message, please check it quickly!"

Hao Meng's phone suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation. He took out his phone, unlocked it, and looked at the screen, asking with a smile, "What's the emergency? Speak up!"

Blue Blue's entire body filled the screen, her eyes sparkling with gold stars, "Good news, boss! Microsoft is willing to spend 20 billion US dollars to acquire 20% of Blue Charm Technology's shares. Please make a decision promptly!"

Hao Meng was stunned. 20 billion US dollars felt like a huge gold brick that had just hit him on the head, leaving him dazed. Despite his earlier confident talk with Blue Phoenix about the value of Blue Charm Technology, it was all just boasting. But now, with someone actually offering 20 billion US dollars, it was a huge test for him!

To put it bluntly, with 20 billion US dollars, he wouldn't have to worry about his future. He could live off it, do whatever he wanted, and it would be more than enough!

Blue Phoenix also heard Blue Blue's words and shuddered, looking at Hao Meng with excitement. 20 billion US dollars, if he sold, his net worth would immediately reach 10 billion, not necessarily making him the richest person in the country, but certainly a top-tier billionaire!

"Will you sell?" Hao Meng stared at Blue Phoenix, swallowing hard, asking. He needed someone to discuss this with and get some advice, and Blue Phoenix was right in front of him.

Blue Phoenix felt her mouth go dry, opening her mouth to say, "Sell...!"

"Boss, don't sell! You said Blue Charm Technology is worth 50 billion. Selling 20% for 20 billion is a loss!" Iron Ox, who was standing in the corner, interrupted her with a gruff voice.

Those words were like a bucket of cold water, bringing Hao Meng back to his senses. His heart was pounding, but he admitted that Iron Ox was right. Selling now would be a loss, but if he didn't seize this opportunity, it might never come again!

Sell or not sell?

"Good things don't worry about not being bought, but bad things are sold as soon as money is offered. My mother used to sell vegetables, and this was something she often said." Iron Ox finished speaking and closed his mouth, saying no more.

Hao Meng frowned, looking at Blue Phoenix with a bitter smile, "Let's ask the CEO of the company for their opinion!"

"Blue Charm Technology already has a CEO?" Blue Phoenix was taken aback. Didn't he just say that Blue Charm Technology was still a shell company?

Hao Meng nodded but didn't speak, calling Chen Yuqing on his phone. Chen Yuqing was currently negotiating the lease of a commercial building in a bustling area of the city with a real estate company.

"Cut to the chase, Microsoft wants to buy 20% of Blue Charm Technology for 20 billion US dollars. Will you sell or not?"

After listening, Chen Yuqing was silent for a long time before firmly answering, "No, we won't sell!"

"No?" Hao Meng repeated, he had thought Chen Yuqing would definitely agree to sell.

"Yes, we won't sell!" After saying that, Chen Yuqing hung up the phone. However, the smile on her face showed that she was in a very good mood!

Hao Meng held the phone, looking at Blue Blue on the screen with a bitter smile, "You heard what General Manager Chen said, right? Reject Microsoft. We won't sell now. 20 billion US dollars can only buy 5% of Blue Charm Technology!"

"Boss, you're wise, that's a very smart decision!" Blue Blue smiled and gave a light compliment, then turned and walked away.

Blue Phoenix was dumbfounded. This was a 20 billion US dollar deal, and they just rejected it so easily? It seemed a bit too casual!

Hao Meng had now completely calmed down. Iron Ox was right; good things don't worry about not being bought, only bad things are sold as soon as money is offered. If Blue Charm Technology didn't have any appeal, would Microsoft be willing to spend 20 billion US dollars?

On the other hand, his perspective was still too narrow. 20 billion US dollars had stunned him, but the 'Blue Charm Smart Phone System' was just a mid-level reward from the 'Recycling Bin.' As long as he had the Recycling Bin, he could create ten, a hundred, or even more companies like Blue Charm Technology.

His heart was too small; it needed to be bigger!
