Chapter 71

"Are you interested in becoming the general manager of 'Blue Charm Technology' in Shinko City?" Hao Meng looked at Lan Fenghuang and asked with a smile.

Lan Fenghuang raised her hand, pointed to her own face, and said with wide eyes, "Me?"

Hao Meng smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, it's you."

In Shinko City, there must be someone trustworthy. Actually, Chen Yuqing would be the most suitable person, but after the start of the school term, she would go to the capital. Hao Meng didn't want to leave Shicheng for the time being. Coincidentally, Lan Fenghuang had traveled a long distance to come here. Since she was willing to help Blue Charm Technology expand in Shinko City, she naturally became the first choice.

"Me, can I do it?" A hint of panic appeared on Lan Fenghuang's face.

Hao Meng said with a smile, "You can, why not? This is just a piece of cake for you, Big Sister." He paused and added, "I will only appoint you as the general manager of the Shinko City branch of Blue Charm Technology. As a sign of trust, I won't send anyone else. Your main task is to contact the manufacturing companies and start producing this batch of Blue Charm A1 phones and Storm Wristwatches. As for the employees, you can hire them locally!"

After listening, Lan Fenghuang couldn't help but laugh and looked at him sideways, saying, "What trust? I think you just don't have anyone else to send!"

Hao Meng laughed and rubbed his nose, saying, "No matter what, from now on, you will have the final say in the Shinko City branch. If you do well, you will become one of the founding members of Blue Charm Technology. At the appropriate time, I will give you and the other founding members a share of the company, I promise! Are you in?"

"I'm in!" Lan Fenghuang gave him a flirtatious look and thought for a moment, saying, "It does sound quite attractive. I originally wanted to start my own company, but since you've said this, I'll help you for a while. But let's be clear, once Blue Charm Technology is on track, if I want to leave, you can't stop me!"

Lan Fenghuang is an ambitious person; she doesn't want to work for others all her life!

"No problem!" Hao Meng nodded readily. Once Blue Charm Technology is well-established, whoever leaves can still ensure its smooth operation. However, given Hao Meng's personality, even if Lan Fenghuang leaves, he won't treat her unfairly.

Wei Shufen returned from buying groceries and saw Lan Fenghuang sitting on the sofa, chatting with Hao Meng. She was taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered. She felt that she and the other person were from two different worlds. The other person's demeanor clearly indicated that she was from a big city. Such a girl would be a better match for Little Meng. Thinking of this, her expression became somewhat gloomy.

Hao Meng looked up and introduced Lan Fenghuang to Wei Shufen, "This is Sister Shufen, and the little girl is Guoguo, Sister Shufen's daughter. This is the god-sister I mentioned to you, Lan Fenghuang."

Lan Fenghuang stood up from the sofa, and the two exchanged pleasantries. Wei Shufen then led Guoguo upstairs to cook. Lan Fenghuang smiled and sat back down on the sofa, asking nonchalantly, "Sister Shufen is really beautiful, is she your real sister?"

Hao Meng was taken aback for a moment and shook his head with a smile, "No, just like you, she's a 'god-sister'!" He paused and added, "But in terms of feelings, she's just like a real sister!"

Looking at Lan Fenghuang's black OL outfit, he said with a smile, "Why don't you change into some casual clothes? There's no need to dress so formally at home, and it's hot!"

She looked good, and it really showed off her figure!

Lan Fenghuang didn't hesitate and asked with a smile, "Okay, do you have any suitable clothes for me here?"

"Yes!"

Hao Meng stood up and nodded. Next door was Chang Mei's clothing store. There were plenty of clothes, but he was afraid that Lan Fenghuang's standards might be too high, and she might not find anything she liked!

...

Lan Fenghuang chose a white floral dress from Chang Mei's clothing store. After changing, she didn't hesitate to go help Wei Shufen with the cooking. She wasn't good at it, but she could lend a hand.

"Boss, the general manager of Microsoft China just sent an email, asking if you can have a detailed meeting. If possible, Mr. Bill Gates will also visit China soon to meet you in person." Lulan appeared on the phone screen and asked Hao Meng.

Hao Meng was taken aback for a moment. Bill Gates wants to come to China to meet him?

He thought for a moment and shook his head with a bitter smile, "There's no need to meet for now, decline the invitation. If I have time, I'll go to the U.S. myself." Since he didn't plan to sell Blue Charm Technology's shares for the time being, there was no need to meet these big shots. No one is a fool; there's no early rise without profit, and only profit is eternal!

"Okay, also, Xiaomi, Google, Star, and Apple all hope to invest in Blue Charm Technology. The Korean Star company wants to invest 1 billion U.S. dollars to fully acquire Blue Charm Technology, including Smart Lulan, the Blue Charm operating system, and the Blue Charm phone products." Lulan said with a smile.

Hao Meng's first thought was, "The wolves are here."

"1 billion U.S. dollars? Ha, that's a bit low. Tell the Korean Star company that for 30 billion U.S. dollars, I can sell 40% of Blue Charm Technology's shares. Ask them if they want it!" Hao Meng said with a smile. He was just joking; even if the Korean Star company really invested 30 billion U.S. dollars, he wouldn't sell Blue Charm Technology to them under the current circumstances.

"Yes, boss!" Lulan nodded and asked curiously, "Boss, why don't you sell some of Blue Charm Technology's shares? The power of a group is always greater than that of an individual!"

Hao Meng leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "It's not the right time yet. Besides, the power of a group is great, but others won't necessarily give their full strength to others. We need to wait a bit longer, don't rush. After all, we are still very weak and can't threaten those giants in the short term, nor do we have the capital to stand on equal footing with them!"

Even if he chooses a partner, Hao Meng would prefer to choose a domestic company. Or, why collaborate at all? Isn't it better to keep it all to himself?

The Korean Star company revealed Blue Charm Technology's "arrogant and self-important" words to the media. 30 billion U.S. dollars for 40% of the shares? Isn't this just a huge joke?

"How much is Blue Charm Technology really worth?"

This question became the top news on Wall Street.

"Blue Charm Technology is just a junk company. I think it's not even worth 100 million. To dare to call itself the next Apple? Ha, it's just a dream. It's just a shell company!" A comment from a senior Chinese engineer at Star company appeared in the media.

For a time, a wave of negative sentiment swept through the media and online news. Everywhere, there were reports smearing Blue Charm Technology, including the fact that it didn't have a physical company and its registered capital was only 1 million. Some even incited users who had pre-ordered Blue Charm phones and wristwatches online to return them to avoid being scammed!

It's not hard to imagine who was behind the scenes!
