Hao Ren was sitting on a chair on a reception counter while the press reporters sat across him, with many cameras set up behind them. The young man smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"
The reporters nodded, and were about to go crazy when Hao Ren narrowed his gaze. The level of command he had over the crowd was really shocking. At the moment, he was at the peak of spiritual gathering realm and was able to coerce these people with just a slight stare.
One lady raised her hand and said, "President Hao, I am Miriam Tenor from Hua Xia Times. Can I ask you the purpose of this conference?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I wish to show you all some magic."
The people were perplexed but then Hao Ren snapped his fingers and a coin appeared between them. The he stood up on the ground and tossed the coin in the void. Then he caught the coin in his hands, then he said, "Are you ready?"
The reporters were curious and to their surprise, when Hao Ren opened his hands the coin had turned into a bouquet of marigold flowers. What surprised the people was that just when they were trying to figure out what was going on here, the bouquet turned into a bunch of butterflies that were fluttering around Hao Ren's wrists.
The young man said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I, Hao Ren, proudly present to you, the latest product of the Thunder Technologies, Lighting Hologram Projector."
The people were left stunned, and Hao Ren raised his hands and said, "Do you all see my rings? It is because of these rings I could create the hologram."
One of the reporters stood up and excitedly asked, "President Hao, can you explain the technology behind this gadget?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "With the breakthrough of graphene chip tech, we have managed to develop a ring that will allow the users to cast hologram by the causing collision of lasers. The lasers are of a smaller wavelength and do not harm the body of the user."
The question and answer session picked up pace and when asked the usage of these rings, Hao Ren displayed the prowess of the device to the best that it can. Hao Ren said, "This is only the first version this device and it will be improved further as the time passes and the technology advances.
Thunder Technologies has filed a standard patent for this technology, we will also welcome individual developers to come and join us. It does not matter whether you are from a tech background or not. As long as you pass a test, we will train you and we will also give you a job."
The people were surprised, by doing this, Hao Ren was going to rob a lot of hidden talents in the market. After this, the people from marketing came along with Klaus, they handled the variety of questions and Xiao Mei said, "Boss, the valuation of our company is soaring."
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Does not matter, is the plan ready?"
Xiao Mei replied, "The rings will be going on sale in the next five days and we have launched the campaigns for advertisements. The data will be collected and the renders will be coming in. I will begin designing the dress and the venue so you don't have to worry about that. However, Madam needs to you develop a few formulas so that the medical research can move on.
The prosthetic project has found hundred volunteers and we will be getting the confirmation from the government soon."
Hao Ren nodded and then left for him. His wedding was just thirty days away, and he needed to finish a lot of things. In the Industrial area, right next to the campus of his company was a pavilion that was surrounded by an artificial pond.
After the ding sound, a holographic window appeared before him. Hao Ren raised his brows and he saw a variety of products being sold there. He did not react happily, and turned to look at the prices of the things.
He said, "System, can you segregate the products into different types?"
*Ding: Segregation complete. The items are now divided in two basic categories, mortal and immortal. There are sub categories that separate the items even further.*
Hao Ren replied with a thanks and found that his conjecture was correct. The mortal items costed him money. He could buy technological research and blueprints with money. At the same time he could buy spiritual techniques, weapons and also ask the system phantom for guidance in some techniques that he had a tough time cultivating in exchange of spirit stones.
He could also use money to convert it into spirit stone and buy things, but that was very impractical, one spirit stone costed him around ten million yuan. This was very wasteful.
As he was thinking about which product he needs to buy, the soup and the main course was finished, and the doorbell rang. Hao Ren found Agni had come back with Han Lingshi. The latter did not say much and asked, "Do wish for me to die?"
Hao Ren was surprised, and so was Agni. The young man bent down and carefully took off her heels before he asked, "What happened?"
Han Lingshi grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "Do you know there is a billion dollar bounty on your head, globally?"
Hao Ren raised his head and asked, "I didn't know. Xiao Mei, why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Madam has told me that she will be talking to you in person."
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Whatever you wish to do, let us do it after dinner. Please? I am hungry."
This news was a shock to him but nothing that big. However, the impact on Han Lingshi was very unsettling. He could see that her aura was fluctuating. The dinner made her calm down a little, and she said, "I won't have reacted this way but the enemy has hired special people. It is the strongest mercenary team from the Hawk Islands, the Alpha Blade.
Nobody knows what they look like, where they are from and when they might attack.
I asked Xiao Mei to conduct an investigation, but it turned up with nothing. No data at all and they are all the most wanted people on the planet."
Hao Ren raised his brows and asked, "How much is the bounty again?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Five hundred Million Dollars. It is a bit less, they did it shortly after you launched the Lightning Holographic Projection rings."
Hao Ren was in shock, he did not expect he had an enemy who could do such a thing. The mode became somber and the young man said, "Calm down, it will be fine."
