Chapter 2202 - 712: Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Kidnapping_2

This was one of the few personal investment records of Wang Yubo that he could proudly showcase to the outside world.

This time, whether Win-win Technology can successfully secure the official ecological cooperation qualification with Xuanji Light Realm will completely rely on Yuanjian Shares for coordination, introduction, and endorsement.

In return, during the social cocktail party segment after the summit, he also needs to appropriately take on the role of "supporting act" to highlight and emphasize Mr. Wang’s wise decision and unique insight in this investment.

If they fail again this time...

The VAM Agreement signed earlier with the Series B investors is likely to trigger the repurchase clause.

By then, the founding team members who signed the personal joint liability guarantee agreement will have to pay a painful price.

He simply couldn’t afford to lose.

Thinking of this, Ren Mingyuan’s heart started to race uncontrollably.

Just then, a slight commotion arose not far away.

From the discussions around, keywords like "Xuanji Light Realm" and "Ecological Strategy Department" could be vaguely heard.

Strategic Vice President Zhao Qihang of Yuanjian Shares, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, immediately stepped forward to Wang Le’an’s side.

He softly reminded, "Chairman Wang, Yubo, the people from Xuanji Light Realm have arrived."

Wang Le’an’s eyes sharpened as he followed the sound.

A group of team members in formal suits, both men and women, exuding a powerful presence that marked them as industry elites, was walking out from the C2 channel.

At the forefront was an Asian male, about forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses with a calm and competent demeanor.

"President Zhao, this is...?" Wang Yubo asked quietly.

Zhao Qihang explained, "Leading them is Michael Chen, the newly appointed director of the Ecological Strategy Department at Xuanji Light Realm, a Chinese American and former head of strategic cooperation for Google’s Greater China Region, who was just recruited by TY Precision last month. The people alongside him should all be employees of the Ecological Strategy Department."

As a strategic vice president, he had already thoroughly researched the backgrounds of all key figures before the summit.

Upon hearing this, the hearts of Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan immediately tensed.

Especially for Ren Mingyuan, his breath became rapid all at once.

The Ecological Strategy Department undoubtedly was the department responsible for software ecological cooperation communication.

It was the most important and most desired contact goal of his trip.

He looked at the group of people who were the focus of everyone’s attention, his gaze full of eagerness.

Yet he understood that with his own identity, rashly stepping forward in such a setting might not yield much conversation, let alone in-depth communication.

His gaze instinctively fell on Wang Yubo beside him.

Wang Yubo immediately got the cue, and whispered, "Chairman Wang, the opportunity is rare, how about Mingyuan and I go over and introduce ourselves to Director Chen?"

Wang Le’an pondered for a moment, his gaze paused on Michael Chen for a few seconds.

Finally, he slowly nodded, "Alright. Let’s go over and say hello together."

Yuanjian Shares’ primary goal this time was to discuss cooperation in the hardware supply chain, but the future of software and hardware ecosystems is bound to be deeply integrated, making it essential to engage with this department sooner or later, and establishing early connections is always beneficial.

Moreover, he understood that relying solely on his son wouldn’t carry much weight.

Worse still, youthful impulsiveness might lead to saying the wrong thing and unintentionally offending people.

Upon hearing Wang Le’an’s approval, Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan quietly breathed sighs of relief.

They closely followed behind Wang Le’an and Zhao Qihang, patiently waiting until the group exchanging pleasantries around Michael Chen dispersed, before quickly stepping forward.

"Director Chen, hello." Zhao Qihang took the initiative to step forward, carrying the perfect amount of enthusiasm and respect, and extended his hand, "I’m Zhao Qihang from Yuanjian Shares. We met briefly at an industry cocktail party in Silicon Valley; I wonder if you recall. This is our chairman, Mr. Wang Le’an."

"Hello, Chairman Wang, President Zhao, nice to meet you." Michael’s Mandarin was very fluent, with a standard business accent, and he politely shook hands with them, "I’ve reviewed your company’s data, Yuanjian’s strength in the precision manufacturing field is quite impressive."

"Director Chen is too kind." Wang Le’an greeted him as well, exchanged a few simple pleasantries about summit arrangements, and then signaled towards the two individuals behind him.

Wang Yubo promptly stepped forward, smoothly engaging in self-introduction.

Ren Mingyuan followed right after, respectfully handing over his business card with both hands, slightly bowing, his tone full of deference.

A female employee accompanying Michael glanced subtly upon hearing Wang Yubo and Ren Mingyuan’s names.

Then she quickly looked down at her phone and sent a message.

Ren Mingyuan seized the opportunity to succinctly yet emphatically introduce Win-win Technology’s layout and technical accumulation in the smart home domain, and the tremendous potential for ecological cooperation with Xuanji Light Realm.

Michael listened patiently, occasionally nodding slightly, maintaining a courteous yet consistently professional distance without showing any clear interest or commitment.

Seeing this, Wang Yubo promptly chimed in, attempting to underline the potential industrial synergy effects of their cooperation from Yuanjian Shares’ perspective.

While Wang Le’an, intending to assess his son’s performance, did not intervene in this matter but quietly listened, his gaze deep and contemplative.
