Chapter 559 - In the Boy's Table

While the girls were talking and thinking about boys, the boys meanwhile were thinking of other things.

Jang Shin was deep in his thoughts while the other two men busied themselves acquainting with the others. He silently kept drinking his fruit wine while his mind wandered. He was not like the two men whom these powerful people would stop and greet. 

Jang Shin did not have an excellent status like theirs, nor did he had an exceptional ability to make up for it. He was just... a relatively capable man of low status who was trying hard to become someone worthy.

But the path was hard. 

However, in order to become someone Jang Shin could be proud of, this process was necessary. Even if he had to sacrifice some things...

Jang Shin drank another sip again. 

He would not desire what he could not afford. 

For now, he should be thinking about how to handle SC and expand it. Although Jang Shin's shares were not huge, he was still the co-owner after all. He had to help Linfeng as much as he could. There was no time for these pointless matters.

Jang Shin took a deep breath and shook off the gloom over his head.

However, when Jang Shin was about to join the assembly of fat fishes at Linfeng's side, he found them swimming away.

Finally, William and Linfeng successfully drove off the crowd. Even though they were people of high power, being acquainted was enough for the pair. 

After Linfeng and William politely nodded a farewell to the guests, they reached for their glasses at the same time. Socializing while watching your own mouth at the same time was tiring.

Linfeng put down his cup and glanced at the fifth row. He had seen earlier who the people in the table Xiong Zhi headed to was. He was at ease that she was with her friends. 

"Linfeng, I think we could cooperate with Mister Tanaka," Jang Shin said out of the blue, glancing at the table not far away from them. As expected, that table was crowded. The President of EU and the heir of Tanaka Group were sitting there after all.

Lifneng nodded. "I have met him earlier. His Simsang is coordinating with IHZHI and Gu Zhen's company. He is trustworthy and transparent enough. We already talked. You'll meet his people next week."

Jang Shin was stunned. So fast?

"Next week? Are you ready to implement the developmental plan to expand ZD Comprehension Project to other countries so soon?"

"We can't let got of the heat, we have strike while the iron is hot.  Cooperating with Simsung Tech is useful. We will upgrade ZD World, this is already in the agenda."

Jang Shin jumped lightly on his seat. Even William glanced at Linfeng silently.

Last time, after the success of ZD World, Linfeng suddenly proposed the agenda of establishing more sites to cover more counties. With the great potential of ZD World, they did not lack investors, so expanding in a short amount of time was indeed possible. Perhaps, after half a year of shifting workers ensuring twenty-four seven workload, there would be another set of tower facilities in another country. 

The ZD Comprehensive Project was already in an extremely fast progress. They have just barely stabilized ZD World, but now it seemed that SC will have to immediately implement the developmental plan to upgrade ZD World, very soon after it was released in a few months.

Linfeng saw Jang Shin's dumbfounded face. He corrected himself. "I mean, Simsung will help us make an updated version. I plan to collaborate with Gu Zhen's company as well."

"Are you not worried about them stealing the technology?"

"This is why I value Tanaka Group, because of their transparency and credibility. It is inevitable that we will partner with other companies specializing on this field, so I would rather choose a  more trustworthy partner to create an improved ZD World. The contract must also be revised well to ensure that there will be no loopholes."

Jang Shin finally nodded, alhough he was still shocked inside.

"Why are you hurrying?"

"Hmm?"

"I mean it's good that we have everything planned out for ZD Project. But this is too fast. We should try to stabilize and monopolize the first wave first before preparing for the second wave."

Linfeng recalled Guan Gao Huan's challenge.

"Well, that is the initial plan, if there's no competition. However, everything will be different if someone releases another one like ZD World. Even if it comes after ours, many people would still flock to the rival company. The market is too big for us to swallow alone in our current capacity. There will also be the third and the fourth. Then what can we do to make us different from them?"

The international market never allowed for a monopoly. Linfeng knew that later, there would be many imitations of ZD World coming up. He even already gotten the warning signal from that person surnamed Guan. Thus, Linfeng must ensure that their card would always be ahead.

Jang Shin tapped on his chin thoughtfully, his already narrow peach eyes narrowing to a slit even more.

"We need better versions and a wider scope. I understand. However, I haven't heard of anyone releasing a project like ours. Even if someone gets an inspiration from us, they can only release it after some time, because there is still the R&D resources and investors they need to find." After all, the towers, the technology, and many important aspects would not appear in one wave of a hand.

Linfeng smiled. His eyes were deep. "We don't know for sure. Maybe a donkey claiming that he was a black horse will appear on our way. It is better to outrun that donkey a million miles ahead."

Jang Shin was silent. 

Linfeng made sense.

William was quietly listening to them. He was also one of the investors and partners for the ZD World, so he was very interested in these talks. He was keeping his own thoughts while drinking wine.

The three men fell in silence as they listened to the music and laughter around them.

Linfeng then looked at Jang Shin. "By the way, why did you and Tang Xinyang fight?"

Willaim choked on his drink. Cough! Cough!

The two men looked at him.

William waved his hand while suppressing his cough. "Cough, don't be bothered by me. You guys continue."

Willaim internally mumbled: It was not because of me. Don't let me get involved.

Linfeng: "Then you drink water and calm down."

Jang Shin only gave him a glance and turned to Linfeng. Tang Xinyang had ignored him earlier. It was impossible for Linfeng to not notice the atmosphere between them.

"It's nothing. Just a little spat." 

"A lovers' spat?"

Jang Shin looked at Linfeng with incredulity. "Since you got a girlfriend, your mouth is now increasingly spouting more nonsensical words."

Linfeng: ? How is it nonsense?

He ignored Jang Shin's words and asked again. "How come it is just a little spat when Tang Xinyang even chose to ignore you?"

"She is angry at me. That always happens."

"But she did not beat you up. This level of Tang Xinyang's anger is different."

Jang Shin: ... ...
