Chapter 432 Master Mo
“Let me do it!”
Apudule’s interpreter suddenly shouted. When he found that everyone was staring at him, he explained hurriedly, saying, “I just translated what Mission Leader Apudule said.”
Everyone became dumbfounded instantly. “This is the leader of the business mission from Zhongdong!” When they turned to Chen Kewen again, their eye expressions had changed. Someone sneered, someone admired him, some envied him, some were suspicious, some had expectations…
“Old Chen, boasting is not a good habit. If you are exposed on the spot, you will not only lose the face of Binghai but also the face of our entire Shenzhou.”
When the boss of Hairui Refrigeration who had been satirizing him saw Apudule quickly walking over, he said with a sneer.
“Right, how can the frozen meat not have ice? Boss Chen, you’d better not lose the face of our entire Shenzhou only because you want to show off.”
Someone was pretending to give him advice.
“Even if our technology is not comparable to that of some foreign countries, we cannot cheat because that is to lose the face of the nation and the race.”
Standing on the commanding height of moral stands, someone who had unbearable pain and sadness condemned him.
“Curry favor by claptrap. It must be so, humph! You are finished after Mission Leader Apudule tests it.”
Someone sneered to express disdain. Everyone behaved differently…
The bosses of Meidi and Geli were a typical example. They would never believe that the small Binghai Refrigeration could exceed them in technology development, so they held their arms and sneered heartily.
Chen Kewen did not look at him at all and said indifferently, “A good device can stand severe tests. If you guys don’t believe me, just come and test it yourselves.”
The noise suddenly stopped, and these people looked anxious and doubtful. “How dare Chen Kewen be so confident? It is true?”
Apudule did not care that much. He could not understand the Shenzhou language, nor did he have the mind to ask the interpreter. Instead, he just put on a serious expression and took the frozen meat from Chen Kewen’s hand.
As soon as he took the frozen meat, he knew from the icy cold low temperature that this meat had truly been frozen at a temperature of lower than -10 degrees celsius.
After taking a careful observation, he rejoiced with wild excitement and said many Alabo words.
Everyone had no idea about what he said and looked at the interpreter for an explanation.
The interpreter fully translated his words. “Thank True Lord Anla. Indeed, this is ice-free freezing. What a miracle!”
The site fell into dead silence but then began to boil like the boiling water. Numerous bosses who had demand for refrigeration equipment went over with glitters in their eyes, shouting to experience it themselves.
After learning their wishes through the interpreter, Apudule passed the frozen meat to those bosses very generously.
The frozen meat was constantly passed from one hand to another among these bosses. The site fell into a sea of revelry.
“God, this is true.”
“Right, it is really incredible. The frozen meat is indeed from the low-temperature compartment, but it is fresh.”
“My God! If the ice-free freezing technology does exist, it will be more convenient for us to make the cold-fresh meat in the future.”
“It is too hard to imagine. In the future, the freezer will only be used for making ice cubes. If we freeze ingredients with the ice-free function, we will only need to take them out and use them and won’t have to melt them several hours in advance anymore.”
“Oh, my God, this is the greatest breakthrough in this century.”
…
As these bosses passed the frozen meat, they complimented the technology, but the manufacturers changed their expressions as they heard this. With disbelief, they grabbed the meat to take a look, but this led to a mess on the scene. These people rushed to grab the frozen meat, and Deputy Mayor Zhou had to ask the field personnel to come out to main order.
The face of Hairui Refrigeration’s boss was burning with shame. Just now, he was mocking Chen Kewen, but now he had been humiliated in public. Too ashamed to show himself, he strongly wished to find a crack in the ground and hide in.
There was no personal hatred between him and Chen Kewen, but Binghai Refrigeration had once copied their company’s technology to compete for market share, and then they had grudges.
Business is business. He knew that if this technology came out, it would have a dramatic impact on the refrigeration industry. He could already predict that Binghai Refrigeration would amaze the world in a flash and become the new noble in the refrigeration industry and also one of the best in the global refrigeration industry.
There were no eternal enemies, but only eternal interests. Some small grudges were nothing compared with interests. Now, their key problem was to try to cooperate with Binghai Refrigeration, and buying the core technology was their best choice.
Not only Hairui Refrigeration but also Meidi and Geli were like this. With flattery smiles, their bosses waved their business cards to jostle to Chen Kewen and shouted, “Boss Chen, Boss Chen, this is my business card. Let’s spare some time and talk about cooperation.”
The on-site reporters turned their cameras of different sizes to Chen Kewen as they kept asking questions.
Unfortunately, Chen Kewen had already been protected by the field personnel, and they had no chance to get near him.
Standing on the exhibition stand and looking at the faces which had disdain moments ago but were now full of flattery, he thought that he had never been so elated, so he straightened his back and his face turned radiant.
“Be quiet, everyone!”
Deputy Mayor Zhou shouted with a microphone. Thanks to his shout, the site gradually became quiet again, but some were still discussing it in whispers.
“Everyone, keep quiet. Let Boss Chen of Binghai Refrigeration finish his product introduction.”
Apudule’s interpreter shouted the translation. Immediately, the site became completely quiet, and everyone turned their hot eyes to Chen Kewen.
Being confident, Chen Kewen smiled and calmly introduced other functions of the new refrigerator, such as mute and power saving.
After consulting the members of their business mission, Apudule excitedly announced that the business mission was quite satisfied with Binghai Refrigeration and would conduct further negotiations and reach cooperation agreements.
All the manufacturers looked at the radiant Chen Kewen with admiration, envy, and hatred, knowing that Binghai Refrigeration would become the bellwether in the refrigeration industry soon.
Deputy Mayor Zhou narrowed his eyes into a slit as he laughed. Binghai Refrigeration was a Ninghai local company and had reached a collaboration under his leadership. This was a great political achievement.
“Boss Chen, could you please tell me the principle of your ice-free freezing function?”
Finally, a reporter couldn’t help beginning asking questions. Then, the site fell into silence, and only the flash lamps kept flashing. All the people were staring at Chen Kewen, hoping to know how he would respond.
In the spotlight, Chen Kewen nervously wiped away the sweat on his hands and looked around slowly. “This is the core technology we just developed, and it has not yet been officially put into production, so I’m sorry, no comment.”
This caused an uproar, and that reporter blushed. Their core technology had not yet been officially put into production, so how could he announce it in public?
“Boss Chen, could you please tell me the lowest temperature of your latest refrigeration?”
“Boss Chen, could you please tell me how much time you spent developing the ice-free freezing technology?”
“Could you please tell me the annual production capacity of Binghai Refrigeration? Could you meet the demand of the Shenzhou market after meeting the demand of the Dibai Hotel?”
“Boss Chen, could you please tell me if the ice-free freezing will be widely available to all families?”
…
The reporters grabbed chances to ask questions, which were ones of public concern. After going through the initial nervousness, Chen Kewen then answered their questions calmly, but when he met some questions that were unsuitable to answer, he would let them pass with “No common”.
In the bustling crowd, Ding Ning knew that the overall situation had been settled, and his sister would be busy with so many affairs in the future. Instantly, they smiled at each other and left silently.
It was already over 12 o’clock at noon on October 31st. Since Chen Kewen was dealing with the on-site matters, they could go and eat now.
After they held a party of only four members in a restaurant, Ding Ning left, but his sister had to stay and negotiate with the business mission from Zhongdong in person.
Since the shooting, Yun Sihai had immediately disappeared and Fantastic Stones Shop had been closed for nearly half a month.
Not until a while ago was Fantastic Stones Shop bought by a person named Nie Fan, and then the shop reopened.
Yet, its business was not good after the opening. Previously, Yun Sihai had close relationships with Mian Nation’s mines and could introduce the raw stones of the old pits, but Nie Fan was not well-known and had far fewer interpersonal relationships, so Yun Sihai’s old customers would not come.
Taking a new path, Nie Fan invited Master Mo, a stone-gambling master from Mian Nation. After he gave two customers random advice, they all succeeded in gambling, making him become quite famous, and then those rich and powerful figures engaged in gambling on stones regarded him as their VIP guest.
If now those in the circle mentioned Fantastic Stones Shop, everyone would also mention Master Mo, whose fame was spread fast in the circle of gambling on stones and had become the guru in the stone-gambling sector.
But Master Mo had a noble and cold character. So many people lavishly praised him, hoping to ask him for help, but he only helped them several times. Yet, they succeeded each time, so people had a stronger wish to approach him.
At this moment, legendary Master Mo was sitting straight to meditate with his eyes closed in the office of Yun Sihai, where the shooting happened in the past. Being about 50 to 60, he had silvery hair and a youthful face and wore a bluish-white Taoist robe, looking like an old god, making others feel awed spontaneously.
“Master Mo, we’re all depending on you for this afternoon’s gamble. No matter you win or lose, we will honor you with a 100 million appearance fee.”
Opposite to Master Mo, Xiang Bolong, Childe Liu, Childe Chen, and others stood respectfully and said gingerly.
With his eyes closely shut, Master Mo looked not interested, making them embarrassed. “This Master Mo is assuming so great airs, isn’t he? Yes or no, just say it.”
Childe Chen was especially embarrassed. This gamble was made by him, but if Master Mo was unwilling to do this, he would be too ashamed to hang around with others in the future, so he had to turn to the youth of about 30 standing on the side of Master Mo for help.
That young man slightly nodded to show he understood, and then he bent down and said respectfully, “Master Mo, this is my cousin. I hope you can do me a small favor.”
Master Mo slowly opened his smart glittering eyes and said indifferently, “Since Little Friend You asks me, let me do it.”
“Thank you, Master Mo!”
The young man surnamed You was pleased and thanked him instantly.
Childe Chen was overjoyed and threw out his chest with pride. Since his cousin was shown great respect, he also felt honored and smiled at Childe You. “Cousin, when we win in the gamble in a while, we won’t forget to give you your share.”
“Christ, what are you talking about? I am your cousin. If you speak like this again, I will be angry.”
Childe You pretended to be unhappy and putting on a straight face, said.
“This is what we should do. Cousin You, how could the old god easily promise to do this without you?”
“Right, Cousin You, making this gamble is to vent our anger, and we don’t care how much we will earn. It is sure that we will share some with you.”
“We should share if we can make money. As long as we can win the boy’s money, I’m willing to give up a little of my share.”
…
All of them spoke and gritted their teeth to show their attitudes, with Xiang Bolong and Childe Liu being fiercer. As long as they could defeat Ding Ning, making no money was even acceptable for them.
Childe You was quite happy but looked reluctant. “Since all of you say so, I will have to accept it as my respect to you.”
“We should, we should. Cousin You, you have no idea about how detestable that boy is, and he even hit Childe Liu.”
“Right, that boy is so arrogant. Not only did he win more than ten million from Childe Xiang, but he also hit Childe Liu. This time we will let him hand back all we lost and what he has.”
Seeing that the matter was settled, everyone became calm and began condemning Ding Ning with various accusations, shaping him into an evildoer who committed all sorts of crimes and bullied men and women.
