Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 68 See Through
After the holiday, S01 has almost recovered, and even has a lot of new buildings and more high-tech public facilities. Many newcomers have flocked to S01 to find vacant positions, and the city has a brand new look.

Yuan Ze also knew that the "S+ level group mission, the disappearance case in S Province" had been completely removed from the mission files of the training camp. The ferocious beast tide brought all the clues to an abrupt end, and it was no longer possible to track them down.

"Ugh."

Yuanze stepped into the portal that Li Haisheng had customized for him. This time his destination was the B03 Mechanical City. It was time for him to sort himself out and get back on the path of cultivation.

Genze walked slowly along a red velvet carpet extending from the magnificent building and arrived at the entrance of the new building.

"Hello, please show me your invitation." the guard asked politely.

At the same time, Kong Junxi walked through the exclusive passage next to him, and his eyes inadvertently swept across Yuanze who was showing the invitation. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and looked at this strange face curiously. Logically, he should have an impression of all the guests invited to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but this person's face made him feel very unfamiliar.

In fact, this is not surprising. After the last transformation of the assessment tower, Yuanze's gene chip has an additional ability to disguise himself. With Li Haisheng's endorsement, his identity has become more secretive. Unless a DNA test is conducted, his true identity cannot be revealed at all.

After a rigorous inspection, Yuan Ze finally stepped into the luxurious reception hall. The hall was filled with so-called upper-class people from various countries and regions. They shuttled among the crowd and exchanged intelligence and information with each other. However, in Yuan Ze's eyes, these so-called celebrities were just a group of small people who were seeking fame and fortune and playing a game of testing each other in the world of fame and fortune.

Vanity Fair is the most empty thing.

If it weren't for Li Haisheng's reminder and Mr. Yang's final instructions, he would not have appeared on this occasion at all.

He leaned alone in a corner of the banquet, staring at the glass of golden champagne in his hand, with a unique aloof temperament.

"Hello, may I know your name?"

He raised his head and looked at the face of the visitor, and couldn't help but smile. However, he still remained elegant and calm on the surface: "You are too kind, I am just a commoner, how can I ask for your name?"

Kong Junxi very kindly extended an olive branch to him and felt sincere admiration for Yuanze's humility and uniqueness.

He observed Yuan Ze carefully, and felt that this young man was heroic and valiant, and exuded an extraordinary temperament. More importantly, they were of similar age, which made Kong Junxi feel closer to and respectful of Yuan Ze.

"Haha, brother is really funny and humorous. I am the second in the Kong family..."

"Second Master, I'm sorry to bother you." A well-dressed official bowed to them. "Young Master Sun, Manager Kong wants you to go to his office for a chat."

"Young Master Sun? Who is this distinguished guest? I don't remember any Sun family having such a relationship with my Kong family." Kong Junxi muttered in his heart, constantly wondering who this "Young Master Sun" was.

Not only him, but others also keenly caught the butler's words and looked at "Young Master Sun" who left with the butler. Yuan Ze was the only guest invited today. Speculations about his identity also became a hot topic on the scene.

The butler led Yuan Ze to the door, and after carefully confirming his identity information, the door slowly opened. He maintained an elegant posture, with one hand on his chest and one pointing to the door, his eyes always respectfully fixed on Yuan Ze, without crossing the line.

Yuanze walked into the door and couldn't help but secretly admire the housekeeper's professionalism. He saw that the housekeeper was still standing straight at the door, looking forward firmly, and he didn't waver at all until the door slowly closed.

This scene reminded Yuanze of the housekeeper Liu he had met before. In comparison, the two were completely different.

"Young Master Sun, please take a seat."

Kong Fengchuan was the only one inside, so Yuanze was no longer restrained and sat down confidently.

"We are very sorry for not offering a helping hand right away regarding Mr. Sun's Pawnshop." Kong Chuanfeng's smile was very approachable, but Yuan Ze's "heart flow" told him that he was a rather complicated person.

"No, no, my grandfather has been traveling for many years, so it's inevitable that he would have enemies. What's more, my grandfather also said that offending people is not scary, but it's scary not knowing how to face people." Yuanze's words revealed calmness and magnanimity, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.

Kong Chuanfeng heard this and changed the way he addressed Mr. Sun, wanting to get closer to Yuanze: "Oh? How is Mr. Sun now?"

"He was injured and is recuperating at home. My grandfather has thought it through. He feels that he is old and it is time to hand over the business to the younger generation." Yuanze's answer was flawless, expressing Mr. Sun's current situation and hinting at the family inheritance.

"What about your father and mother?" Kong Chuanfeng smiled but stabbed out a fatal sword.

Yuan Ze was startled, knowing that Kong Chuanfeng was testing his background, so he replied calmly: "They have never liked doing business and are only interested in scientific research. By the way, have you heard about Li Haisheng? They have recently attracted a lot of scientific research talents, and my parents happened to be favored by Li Haisheng's team."

Yuan Ze's words cleverly resolved the doubts about his identity, which made Kong Chuanfeng, a shrewd man, feel a little unbelievable. He found himself at a disadvantage in front of this young man, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"It's all my fault. Why do I keep asking about your family affairs? Let's talk about business."

When Kong Chuanfeng talked about the entrusted matters, he said that Mr. Sun had a very sharp vision. A few months ago, he invested a huge amount of money to buy shares in the Kong family's free trade company, and they were extremely valuable original shares.

It was also clearly written in the contract that he required all dividends to be exchanged for cultivation resources of equal value. The specific ones would be decided by his grandson who participated in the dividends that year.

Yuan Ze looked at the contract and felt a surge of sadness in his heart. He knew that this was the last gift from Mr. Yang, but he could not show this emotion. He could only suppress the turmoil in his heart, calmly accepted the agreement, and signed his new name - "Sun Zeyuan". "A good name and a good name complement each other."

"Manager Kong, thank you for your compliment. I still have something to trouble you with."

Yuanze used the situation he just compiled and wanted to draw up an agreement with Manager Kong on the grounds that Li Haisheng entrusted his parents. Astra initially determined the following:

“Kong’s Free Trade Company (investor) and Haisheng Industrial Company (financing party) held by Li Haisheng reached the following gambling agreement:

1. The investor shall invest no less than 100 billion Chinese Yuan in the financing party each year, which shall be paid in one lump sum and shall last for X years (the two parties may negotiate to determine the specific number of years).

2. As a condition of the bet, the financing party promises to provide the investor with a technology patent with an estimated value of no less than 12 billion Chinese yuan free of charge within 150 months after the investment funds are received each year.

3. If the financing party fails to provide technology patents that meet the valuation requirements on time in any year, the VAM clause will be triggered:
a. The financier needs to pay the investor a penalty equal to Y% of the investment amount for the year (Y is determined by negotiation between the two parties, such as 10%, 20%, etc.).

b. The investor has the right to choose to continue to implement the agreement or terminate the investment early, and require the financing party to return Z% of the investment amount (Z is determined by negotiation between the two parties, such as 50%, 70%, etc.).

4. If the financing party provides technical patents that meet the valuation requirements on time within the agreement period, the VAM clause will not be triggered and both parties will continue to perform their respective obligations in accordance with the agreement.

5. This agreement shall come into force on the date of signature and seal by both parties and shall be legally binding on both parties. Any disputes shall be settled through friendly negotiation; if the negotiation fails, a lawsuit may be filed against an organization with jurisdiction.

"

"I'm sorry, this is a losing deal..."

Kong Chuanfeng was not fooled by the superficial figures. He knew that even though the investment was in place at one time, no matter how high the valuation of the technology patent was, it had to be transformed into practical applications to generate benefits. Considering the time value of money, this deal was obviously not cost-effective.

But suddenly Kong Chuanfeng's face froze. He looked at Yuanze, then at the contract projection on the table. After a slight embarrassment flashed across his face, he nodded.

"But we do, and the contract is drawn up now and will take effect immediately."

It was already late at night when the two men discussed and signed the contract. They shook hands to announce the official start of the cooperation.

Yuanze smiled, which was rare for him. He also did what he could to help his master: "Manager Kong, just send it here. My grandfather asked me to pass on a message."

"You tell me."

"He said that the younger generation should be allowed to make their own decisions, so that they can grow."

After Yuanze finished speaking, he left without looking back.

The door closed, but Kong Chuanfeng was sweating profusely. This was not something his grandfather had taught him, but something the young man had sensed. What was even more terrifying was that this was not something he was told, but something he had told his grandfather.

The hidden door on the other side opened, and an old man in a wheelchair was pushed out. What was shocking was that the person pushing the wheelchair was actually a scout-level expert.

"I told you, this kid is not simple."

The old man in the wheelchair spoke slowly. His eyes seemed to emit a light that could see through all illusions and see directly into the essence of things.

"I hope you won't interfere in his affairs, let alone have any designs on him. As long as it involves his business, as long as it is controllable, regardless of profit or loss, just do as you are told."

"Father, he just said something rude." The man who helped him push the wheelchair also spoke, and then he turned to Kong Chuanfeng, "Son, what do you think?"

"I am stupid, please enlighten me, elders."

"Compared to your father, you are only so proud of yourself. Well, it's time for me to enjoy my old age. From now on, I will not be involved in the management of the Kong Group. You two will be fully responsible. I will have someone issue a notice on a chosen day."

Kong Renhui waved his hand and said, "Don't argue with an old man like me. You and your son should discuss it carefully first. After all, there is no hurdle that a father and his son cannot overcome. Stop the conflict. This is my last request to you two."

"Yes."

He drove his wheelchair back to the secret room alone, took out a photo and smiled mysteriously.
