A roar drew all eyes to Shanzaki.
Even Takemoto, who had been wailing and yelling wildly over there, paused slightly and looked over.
"I... I lost my composure."
Seeing everyone's gaze converge on him, Shanzaki's face changed slightly, and he quickly looked at Wang Yu, speaking in a low voice.
"Wang-kun, I really cannot agree to this request. Can you try a different condition?"
"But... this is the only condition I need."
Wang Yu smiled at Shanzaki. Then, as if understanding his concerns, he added,
"I think I understand your worries. I only need your company's cooperative trade rights in HeDao. I will not force your company to sell my products. Additionally, I promise that all products are my own intellectual property and will not be produced by others!"
Hearing Wang Yu's clarification, Shanzaki's brow relaxed slightly. This was more acceptable.
If it were limited to the intellectual property of Wang Yu's automobile factory, what good things could he even come up with? Were they those outdated and ridiculous trucks?
Did they really think the title of the world's second-largest automobile power in HeDao was just for show? Hmph!
If all else failed, they could simply choose not to sell. Cooperation was based on mutual willingness, so Wang Yu couldn't force them to actively sell his products, could he?
With this thought, Shanzaki felt a sense of clarity. His expression turned from gloom to sunshine, and he quickly said to Wang Yu,
"Director Wang, I agree to your condition. We can sign the contract and agreement now, and the one hundred million can be transferred immediately. But about this competition..."
"Don't worry, once everything is in place, we can announce a pause in the competition at any time. He probably won't be finished causing trouble for a while anyway."
Wang Yu smiled and looked at Takemoto. The guy had started acting up again, rolling on the ground holding his palm, once again attracting everyone's attention!
"Disgraceful!" Shanzaki gritted his teeth, but he found an excuse to leave and make arrangements.
It had to be said that the people of HeDao were truly efficient when it came to work. In less than ten minutes, Shanzaki returned with all the procedures arranged...
Then Wang Yu received an urgent call from Old Ma, the finance manager, informing him that another large sum of money had appeared in the account...
Well, even though he didn't particularly like the HeDao people who seemed to be living well, their efficiency was undeniable; it could even be called abnormal.
Also finding an excuse to leave, Wang Yu and Shanzaki privately signed the contract and agreement. As for whether the terms of these contracts, signed by Shanzaki as a mere supervisor, would be recognized by Tianyi Steel Company in the future...
Wang Yu wasn't worried about this issue at all because he was confident they would acknowledge it, and in a very proactive manner at that!
The most crucial part was that the money had arrived! So much money!
"Pleasure doing business with you!"
Wang Yu shook hands with Shanzaki with a smile.
"Pleasure doing business with you!" Shanzaki replied with a wry face.
After the two had secretly reached their "playful" agreement, they returned to the county conference hall. Wang Yu directly announced to the somewhat chaotic scene that, due to an unexpected injury, the competition he had challenged HeDao's Tianyi Steel Company with would be temporarily postponed, with the specific time to be determined.
Furthermore, since the second match had not yet concluded, the current result was one victory for Wang Yu. In the remaining two matches, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious!
Wang Yu's words were very eloquent and well-phrased. However, everyone present was a shrewd individual, and they naturally understood that Wang Yu was merely giving HeDao some face.
What did he mean by the competition not being fully concluded? The outcome was already clear, wasn't it? But since he said it wasn't concluded, then it wasn't concluded. No one would be foolish enough to pursue it further. They might as well focus their attention on the injured Takemoto.
Secretary Yang, standing nearby, was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Wang Yu to actually have the capability to win against HeDao!
An egg hitting a rock, winning glory for the country!
And it also preserved their domestic assets from being siphoned off. Although a mere steel plant was nothing to a great nation, if it wasn't given voluntarily, it couldn't be taken!
Both face and substance were secured, making his heart surge with excitement!
Even more crucial was... that so many international friends and prominent figures from all walks of life had gathered in Jiangyang County because of this. These were not only potential investment targets but also living GDP!
His career prospects were bright!
Thinking about it, he was starting to believe the grand vision Wang Yu had painted for him.
Perhaps one day, their Jiangyang County might truly become a "car city" like the United States, a world manufacturing center!
However, Wang Yu was good in every way, except that he was too young and inexperienced. After announcing the end, he just left without seeing to the aftermath or hosting these guests, spectators, and domestic and international reporters.
Secretary Yang immediately stepped forward to take charge of the situation, arranging for personnel to clean up the site, hosting the domestic and international reporters and local dignitaries, greatly publicizing the warm hospitality of the people of Jiangyang County, and ensuring everyone had good food and entertainment... org
Of course, all of this came at a cost.
Thus, for a time, the entire Jiangyang County became lively. Secretary Yang couldn't stop smiling.
As for Wang Yu's rash challenge to HeDao, he decided to overlook it.
Young people, they were allowed to make three mistakes.
Yes, that was exactly right!
...
And where was Wang Yu? After announcing the end of the competition, he disappeared like Shanzaki and his group.
Unlike the HeDao people, who were completely avoiding interviews with reporters from various countries, these reporters were desperately seeking sensational news to report. And HeDao's unexpected defeat wasn't the best news?
What made Shanzaki even more distressed was that he had used all sorts of connections to invite so many reporters just to build momentum.
Otherwise, who would have the interest to make such a fuss and travel so far to witness and report on a challenge from a young man in a small county town to HeDao?
Now, the momentum had indeed been built, but the result was entirely negative!
Thinking of this, Shanzaki gritted his teeth and hid in the hotel, arranging for people to prepare for their return to HeDao overnight...
As for Wang Yu, he went straight home.
Because he also disliked dealing with reporters. As for the so-called "prominent figures," he had even less interest in them.
Anyway, Secretary Yang would handle the arrangements. He should at least give Secretary Yang, as a leader, an opportunity to showcase his capabilities.
He might as well go home and cook a meal with Wu Lingling. He was truly hungry now...
However, as soon as Wang Yu and Wu Lingling returned home, they saw that their doorstep had already been blocked!
