Chapter 74 Cooperation between 4 companies
"New smart furniture?" Lan Yaoxia frowned, with a hint of confusion and doubt in her eyes.
He asked, "Does this kind of thing have to be sent abroad as well?"
Zhao Wentao smiled and answered confidently: "Don't underestimate these things! Although the relevant technology abroad is already quite mature, the smart objects created by the new technology in our hands are by no means limited to smart homes."
He then introduced eloquently: "At present, in the field of intelligence, we have successfully developed and produced three technologically advanced products: smart furniture, smart robots and various equipment required for smart security systems."
"In these three aspects, the technology in my hands is as hot and pure as a flame, reaching a height that existing foreign technologies have not yet reached."
"However, these items are not convenient to transport by air, so we can only choose sea transportation." Chen Gangzhi interrupted.
Chen Gangzhi seemed to understand the purpose of Lan Yaoxia's visit to Zhao Wentao. After all, the Linhai Lan family had a tight control over the ports and other places in the coastal areas.
Fan Qingyi expressed her own opinion: "I don't think these things will necessarily be popular among foreigners."
"Like the ones you just mentioned, I'm afraid only the upper echelons of society can afford them."
Facing everyone's doubts, Zhao Wentao still said firmly: "These things are indeed quite common in the market, but that is why I am full of confidence in them. Our advantages lie in unique technological innovation and more considerate user experience."
“And I have found the right promotion channels and marketing strategies.”
Xian Mingfan said with disdain: "I am not very optimistic about your project. Let alone the technical issues, it is difficult to find sales channels. If you are not careful, you may be severely suppressed by Western countries!"
At this time, Ye Shen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He turned to Zhao Wentao and said, "Just because of this, you want to gather several of us together to do this?"
Zhao Wentao smiled slightly and replied, "Of course it's not just that. This is just a starting point. I have another idea, which is to connect the families present here into one line."
Then, he turned his gaze to Lan Yaoxia and continued, "The Lan family is good at shipping business. If other families of ours need to ship goods abroad by sea in the future, we can directly contact Lan Yaoxia to help arrange it."
"For example, the Ye family's exquisite porcelain, the Fan family's valuable items, and so on. If the Xian family has any needs for goods, they can completely solve it through the Lan family!" Zhao Wentao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Gangzhi looked disdainful: "If that's what you said, then why did you call me over here? What you just said has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing Chen Gangzhi's dissatisfaction, Zhao Wentao quickly continued, "Don't worry, this brings us back to the topic I mentioned before."
"My idea is to invite several of us to participate in this project I have on hand."
"I will provide technical support, and you will be responsible for providing the materials and supplies needed for other projects. This way, we can all make money together."
“I understand that some of you may not be particularly optimistic about my project, but to be honest, I have already found clients who are interested in cooperating with me.”
"If the final result is not satisfactory, don't worry, I will stop the project immediately and I will bear all the losses by myself."
After hearing what Zhao Wentao said, the scene fell into dead silence, with a solemn look on everyone's face.
Lan Yaoxia broke the silence and said, "To be honest, I don't think much of what you just said. After all, foreign technology strength should not be underestimated! Why should they choose your brand?"
Zhao Wentao responded without flinching: "Don't worry, if this project fails and causes losses, I will take full responsibility and compensate you for all your losses!"
At this time, Fan Qingyi looked at Zhao Wentao and said, "I really don't have much interest in this project itself, but it would be quite interesting if we could cooperate with the Lan family."
Lan Yaoxia raised her lips slightly and asked with a smile: "Oh? I heard that the ship that the Fan family used to transport goods sank in the sea last time. Is this true?"
Facing Lan Yaoxia's slightly joking question, Fan Qingyi did not show any displeasure. She answered frankly: "Yes, the company we cooperated with this time was really poor. We were attacked by robbers during transportation, and finally even the ship was blown up without a trace."
Zhao Wentao raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "The Lan family has been engaged in the shipping business for many years and has always maintained a zero-accident record. This is really admirable!"
Xian Mingfan looked at Zhao Wentao and responded calmly, "You should keep this project to yourself and look for other suitable partners. Anyway, everyone present seems to have no interest in it."
After hearing this, Zhao Wentao just smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, Chen Gangzhi suddenly interrupted, looked directly at Zhao Wentao, and asked, "Are you really so confident?"
Zhao Wentao nodded without hesitation, saying, "Of course. How could I treat such a thing as a joke?"
Chen Gangzhi chuckled and said, "Okay, then I will invest in this project, but I have to make it clear that if this project fails in the end, you must return my investment to me without a cent less."
Zhao Wentao replied solemnly: "No problem!"
Seeing this, Ye Shen said, "In this case, let Zhao Wentao and Chen Gangzhi discuss it in detail."
Then, he turned to look at Lan Yaoxia, smiled and said, "I look forward to the opportunity to work together in the future."
Lan Yaoxia also nodded politely and responded, "I'm happy to do that."
Xian Mingfan smiled faintly, picked up his glass, and said softly to Lan Yaoxia: "The future is hard to predict, maybe one day we can really work together! Here, I'll drink first to show my respect!"
Before he finished his words, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and the liquor in the glass disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Lan Yaoxia simply took a sip of the wine in the glass elegantly, with a light and graceful movement.
On the other side, Fan Qingyi lit another cigarette and held it between her fingertips. Amidst the smoke, she stared at Lan Yaoxia and spoke slowly: "In my opinion, it won't be long before we can start cooperation."
Lan Yaoxia smiled slightly, indicating that she was ready at any time.
