Chapter 1828 - 940: We Unite!

Didn't even wait until the next day!

That very night, Yunzhous Zhonghui made a high-profile announcement to undergo massive business splits and restructuring for several subsidiaries, and then specifically allocated a portion of assets and patents, to team up with Coast Technology, investing hundreds of millions, betting on the future technological city New Spring, to create a brand new company - Guangquan!

At the press conference, Shi Ran, who hadn't even changed into a suit, grinned toothily at the camera and stated in his speech that he could hardly wait to bring his talents into the field of new prosthetics development!

As a result, other peers still observing or in meetings were all left dumbfounded.

No way, buddy...

That fast?

Everyone else is still going through procedures, how did you already get into the express lane?

You're making me look silly!

That night, in Hai Province, Yunzhou, Suzhou, and even Kunwu, countless company headquarters remained lit till dawn. Amidst a torrent of documents and news, all executives had a long sleepless night.

In fact, even without Zhonghui's high-profile bets, everyone was doomed to sleeplessness, but now Zhonghui's rapid maneuvers clearly ignited the eager hearts of everyone.

Only a homebody like Shi Ran, with a mind full of racing and engineering, would clap his hands in praise of his buddy's prowess after watching the whole show...

Actually, Coast's undertone and hints were almost universally recognized among all participating enterprises.

Whether it was the prospects of the Paradise human-machine interface or the showcase at this Hai Province's disabled sports meet, and even the release of the Paradise System, it's clear that half was about flexing muscles, and the other half was drawing a pie to entice people!

First was the [Human-Machine Interface], then [Paradise Coordination], ultimately leading directly to [Intelligent Connectivity].

One can only say, this pie was drawn so irresistibly fragrant and tempting, a prospect as beautiful as figs on trees and rivers flowing with milk and honey.

Who wouldn't want to take a bite?

What a shame there's no trick to it!

Originally, everyone was prepared to be envious, jealous, and hateful, yet unexpectedly, such a surprising development unfolded.

Unlike other major companies who loved maximizing benefits, Coast undoubtedly showed an astonishing level of noble behavior in this aspect.

Even though a deep moat and layers of professional barriers had been dug out, there was absolutely no intent to monopolize, instead, messages of 'potential patent opening' were released openly and covertly.

Friends, look at this fantastic pie, don't you feel it's missing some toppings? Want some cheese on top? Need a bit of ham? How about a platter? Should we make it even bigger?

And most importantly...

— Wouldn't you like to make our relationship a bit closer?

Facing Ji Jue's invitation to team up, everyone was a bit confused...

After all, after so many years in the business sea, the naive and simple have long perished, while the seasoned schemers who survived had truly never seen such a generous setup!

Thus, they fell into a state of fighting between their left and right brains.

No, no, 'Is there a trap in here?'

Yes, yes, 'What if Ji Jue really is a good person?'

But there's one point, without a doubt.

This time Coast is serious!

With the Paradise System as the core, creating a brand-new ecosystem.

To achieve genuine intelligent connectivity, the required products aren't just one or two… even if Coast grabbed hold of fridges, washing machines, air conditioners, and televisions, how much could it monopolize?

Choosing openness now is indeed a wise move, avoiding resentment from monopolization, while completing its own ecosystem categories instantly.

After all, so many companies, for so many years, possess countless brand names across various sectors and tracks - Zhonghui's engines, Shengyu's lathes, Earth Communication's chips, Ju Guang's Flying Airships… even Chou Family's Sky City's air conditioners, and Northern Federation's non-ferrous metal refining merely coincidentally sharing a name with Thousand Islands North Territory...

These are their proud skills, patents defended fiercely, the golden brands secured after decades or even a century's worth of ancestors struggling to their wit's end!

If they could be drawn in to expand the ecosystem, how much effort could be saved? How many worries could be lessened?

Everyone understands this is a win-win situation.

But whether the gains are large or small is another matter entirely!

Precisely because the prospects are bright, hesitation ensues; precisely because the profits are tremendous, doubts arise.

Which is why there's a desire to drag things out a bit more...

Collaboration isn't impossible, joining isn't out of the question, but you can't expect me to give just because you asked, right?

At least let me see your sincerity, no?

In the end, just as everyone was trying to posture and gauge the situation, hoping to make Ji Jue cherish himself a bit more, Zhonghui went ahead and sent his own clean brother into Director Ji's bed...

From the announcement of the press conference to two o'clock in the morning, Shi Long's phone was dialed busy, all were calls for scolding.

Bastard, what are you doing? How come you're sneaking ahead!

And similarly, from the announcement to the next day at eight or nine, Old Gou's phone was also busy, all were inquiries about the price.

I can negotiate, I can love Coast, give some, give some, will you, I beg you!

And on Ji Jue's directive, Old Gou was already relishing in his savage bargaining...

Anyway, it's all about asking sky-high prices, landing with negotiations, so let's relentlessly stretch things out a bit!
