The moment Ed said that, the entire venue exploded. The leaders on the stage looked very ugly, and the audience below the stage who came to participate in the exchange stood up and slapped their chairs, saying that Ed was too arrogant.
Ed cleared his throat calmly and took the microphone down. He said as he walked, âTo be honest, I was looking forward to joining the seminar this year. I heard that your country has begun to pay attention to the development of science and technology, and felt that the people in your country are very smart, so I looked forward to your work.â
He walked to the side of the stage, shook his head, and said, âBut I am greatly disappointed. There was nothing that impressed me. The things you made have been popular in the foreign market for many years. If your products want to go abroad, these wouldnât be enough.
Tan Ron was still angry just now, but after hearing what Ed said, she suddenly felt that he was right. However, the other partyâs words were not to encourage them, but to strike them down.
âIf I were you, I would give up on researching high-tech. I will invest more money in manufacturing and strive to create more exquisite products,âsaid Ed with a smile.
There was a difference between manufacturing and creation. To manufacture something, one simply needed to mass produce them. To create something, one often needed more effort and cooperation.
For example, Tan Ronâs company was not supported by her alone. It was formed by everyone. However, this company didnât exist in the beginning. It was all created by Tan Ron bit by bit.
Tan Ron commented, âThis man is really arrogant. I wonder who invited him over. I guess that personâs intestines are green with regret now.â
âDonât you think what Ed said makes sense?â Zhuang Liu whispered in her ear.
âDo you also think that our country should vigorously develop the manufacturing industry?â Tan Ron looked puzzled.
Zhuang Liu said, âNo, itâs what Ed said earlier. He said that our countryâs scientific and technological strength is too weak. Thereâs no way to compare with them.â
Tan Ron understood this very well, so she wanted to find an opportunity to get to know Ed even more.
Ed was a very smart person. He had just mocked the hostâs technological strength and then said, âOf course, Iâve already said that the people of your country are very smart. I believe that your technological strength will become stronger soon. You will soon be among the top in the world.â
These words were still unpleasant, but everyoneâs mood was much better. Since Ed was also a famous high-tech talent overseas, none of them wanted to offend him.
After the opening ceremony, the exchange meeting officially began. Mayor Guo naturally had to bring the foreign friends around; this was mainly for Ed.
Ed walked around the conference for half an hour, but he didnât like a single product. Everywhere he went, he would criticize them, as if the products at the conference were all trash.
Shang Jin rubbed his fists until they cracked. She said very unhappily, âWho is that person? He keeps saying that our things are not good. If theyâre not good enough, then he shouldnât attend the seminar. Why did you come over and get in our way?â
Tan Ron said calmly,â âSenior, donât get angry. Heâs telling the truth. If we get angry, he can use this to make a big fuss. Heâll say that our country not only produces bad things, but the quality of our people are bad as well. They only know how to quarrel with others.â
Shang Jin was no longer angry. âThis man better not come to me and say anything. Otherwise, Iâll beat him up every time he says something. Iâll beat him until he canât even get up from the ground. He wonât have the strength to speak again.â
Tan Ron was amused by her. âSenior, he is strong and tall. Do you think youâll be able to beat him up?â
Shang Jin measured his height and said, âI can move my machine over to smash him.â
Lang Yue felt a chill run down his spine. âCalm down, can you not be so violent?â
Tan Rou reminded her. âDonât start a fight with anyone. Weâre here for cooperation, not conflict.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shang Jin naturally knew this. âOkay, I understand.â
Tan Rou glanced at Ed, planning to go over and greet him later.
