Overbearing Immortal Doctor

Got it, Uncle Zheng.

Networking is definitely the main force of future development; Mr. Su said it today. Therefore, Xiang River’s portal website

is definitely imperative, and I still agree with Ze Ju’s opinion.

Our Xiang River should have its own website.

Zheng Yutong was speaking, and Macao’s He Hongshen nodded in agreement: "The internet

is indeed the trend, and our Macao gambling industry is also preparing to launch online gambling services. By then, being affiliated

with T O M should be a great development!"

Quite a few Xiang River’s wealthy families were staying in Li Jiacheng’s room; in fact, it was all about the portal website issue.

This concerns their interests.

Whether it’s Zheng Yuxing’s hotel jewelry industry or He Hongshen’s gambling industry, if Xiang River’s portal website

really gets established, it would be beneficial for them.

By then, the portal website could independently publish some Xiang River information, attract advertisements from real estate, jewelry, gambling, etc.

Thus, the peculiar effectiveness of advertising on a regional website becomes evident.

So, a group of talents wanted to hear Su Zhe’s opinion,

because he has the experience of successfully operating a website, whereas everyone here is dealing with tangible assets; even Li

Jiacheng, in his heart, is quite uncertain.

Dean’s office.

Ji Pinglan was hosting Vodafone’s CEO Gantwei and Mannesman’s chief technical officer Laura Johnsen. Both had flown in this morning.

The school is on holiday, and Ji Pinglan was at home celebrating and watching the national military parade. For most people, he probably wouldn’t bother,

but Vodafone and Qinghua Communication Department have many collaborative projects and are also borrowing their patents, so this individual must be hosted.

To be blunt, someone like Gantwei, as a CEO of an operator, even the principal of Qinghua University must show him respect, given his identity and stature as the Europe’s leading telecommunications operator.

As for Mannesman, Ji Pinglan doesn’t recognize them, but he clearly understands the company—also a giant in the telecommunications industry that he cannot afford to offend.

This Vodafone China Company recruits many fresh graduates from Qinghua Communication Department every year, and it involves many research projects and laboratory assistance, so... Ji Pinglan attaches great importance to Mr. Gant.

May I ask why you are looking for Su Zhe?

Gant has used all his available connections in China to reach Su Zhe. Standing beside him are the CEO of Vodafone’s China branch and a major director from Beijing’s Telecom Bureau.

Beside them is Mannesman’s technical executive John Xun, who was brought along by Vodafone. Though the two companies are competitors, they believe in the strategy that the enemy’s enemy is a friend.

They have indeed encountered difficulties together. Dean Xing, it’s still about the mobile base station, the authorization of that patent.

The director from the Telecom Bureau was there acting as a mediator. And Ji Pinglan was talking about Su Zhe’s refusal to authorize 6** network-related patents, something which seemed unimaginable to Li Pinglan.

Su Guan actually refused authorization to these two world-class operator giants.

A patent is meant to make money, isn’t it?

If Su Zhe refused, wouldn’t he earn much less?

Ji Pinglan couldn’t comprehend it, though he knew Su Zhe was wealthy. That’s exactly why it was surprising, according to his understanding of Su Zhe.

Su Zhe would never turn down such business coming his way, yet the mobile department seems to have settled the deal.

Su... Su Zhe seems to have acquired a European operator.

The head of Gong Datong shared quietly with Ji Pinglan, and Ji Pinglan suddenly realized, that explained everything quite evidently.

Could it be the Orange Telecom under Li Jiacheng?

Ji Pinglan suddenly reacted. Although he hadn’t been following the news much these days, he kept a close watch on a few European telecom companies, given the collaborative relationships.

Yes, it’s that company. Zhe spent over 13 billion US dollars buying it from Xiang River’s Li Jiacheng! Xing Pinglan couldn’t help but gasp, finally understanding the linkage here.

Su Zhe withholding authorization from the two companies was obviously because he acquired Orange Telecom and plans to use the G** BCE network patent as a strategy to propel Orange Telecom.

These two companies are now competitors with Su Xi.

Who would authorize their enemy?

Ji Pinglan grasped the key point through a few sentences. If he couldn’t drive them out, he had to call Su Zhe.

Mr. Gant, Su Zhe will be here soon!

Please wait a moment.

Xing Pinglan said politely to Gantwei, and Gant nodded, "Alright, I will wait here."

Standing beside him was a hired interpreter.

The entire dean’s office, filled with more than ten people, was crowded; otherwise, let’s go to the conference room, I’ll direct Su Zhe there.

Gant also found the office crowded.

The attendees immediately changed venues, and Su Zhe received Ji Pinglan’s text on the way. The message not only stated the address but also mentioned how many people Gant and Johnsen brought, everything detailed—even if you brought 100 people, it’s pointless.

Su Zhe looked at the text, smiled a little, and quickly headed towards the conference room.

Inside the conference room, Ji Pinglan and a few others were chatting cheerfully, yet Gant and Johnsen were slightly impatient.

After all, what Bi Ke and the others wanted wasn’t Ji Pinglan, but Su Zhe.

For a university’s dean, especially one from an unnamed school, they weren’t planning to pay attention.

If it weren’t for Su Zhe being a student at this college, they wouldn’t bother with Ji Pinglan.

Many foreigners, indeed back in 1999, were quite deliberate.

Particularly when visiting China for the first time, there’s always a subconscious feeling of superiority, and the nearby director from the Telecom Bureau was embarrassed.

These two corporate leaders do carry quite a presence, but with China’s current weak status, even though he dared not say anything confrontational due to their status—a mighty principle one couldn’t provoke.

Vodafone indeed invested heavily in the nation, around several billion US dollars’ worth of projects—even China’s Telecom, even their internal communications systems, were purchased from them. Evidently, they deserved to adopt such an air.

The governmental directors from the Telecom Department could only treat them courteously since national collaborative projects are laid out.

The atmosphere was a bit cold as Ji Pinglan chit-chatted awkwardly.

Eventually, the conference room door was pushed open by Su Zhe.

Gantwei and Laura Johnsen simultaneously lifted their heads, looking at the young man who walked in. Despite hearing plenty of stories about Su Zhe, they were still amazed by his young appearance.

Gantwei

Isn’t that right?"

Su Zhe walked directly to Gant, extending his hand towards him, but Su Zhe seemed unfamiliar with Johnsen.

Yes, I’m Gant from Vodafone Communications Group.

Gant shook hands with Su Zhe, his face showing slight displeasure.

Su Zhe’s attitude was neither humble nor enthusiastic, just as casual as a simple inquiry, seemingly superior.

"Who’s this?"

Su Zhe pointed at Laura Johnsen, who quickly introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Johnsen."

Su Zhe greeted him again and then instinctively sat down in the conference room. Both of you

came all the way from Europe, what brings you here?

Su Zhe smiled at them, but in Gant and Johnsen’s eyes, the smile seemed somewhat arrogant and ungrateful.

Isn’t this asking the obvious?
