292: New Cloud Internet Cafe
Haibei City, Xinyun Internet Cafe.
After Liu Shihhan took over, it had already been renamed and renovated in just a few days, reopening for business.
Besides the main hall area with two hundred computers, Liu Shihhan specifically set up a room similar to a conference room, without computers but with large sofas and a coffee table, as if Liu Shihhan originally intended to use the internet cafe as a place to trade big red, specially reserving this area.
At this moment, inside the private room, besides Liu Shihhan and Yu Youya, sat a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and gentle.
“By the way, when will Boss Xiao arrive?”
the man asked.
He had already signed the big red rental contract prepared by Yu Youya, just waiting for Xiao Yun to bring the big red.
“My time is very busy, and very valuable, I hope you don't make me wait long.”
He said.
Although the man's tone was calm, he exuded a lot of pressure.
And from his attire, he didn't look like a researcher from some Academy of Sciences, but rather like a minor leader in some private enterprise.
These people were usually accustomed to having a bit of power, and when faced with a situation where they had to wait for someone after arriving, they appeared somewhat impatient.
“He should be here soon, we just called him.”
Yu Youya said, calculating the time in her mind.
Whether Xiao Yun was in the Restricted Area or at home, he should arrive within ten minutes at the latest.
“Wait… oh no!”
Liu Shihhan suddenly became a little nervous, whispering into Yu Youya's ear.
“I forgot, Xiao Yun might be running a knife in the Baksh Restricted Area in Longjiang City right now, in which case it would take at least an hour or more for him to get here.”
“Ah? What should we do then? This person looks difficult to deal with.”
Yu Youya's heart immediately filled with worry.
She and this company had finally secured a high-priced order with great difficulty, and the reason they could get such a high premium was the guarantee that they could obtain this newly discovered big red, the armored vehicle battery, faster than other enterprises or units.
If Xiao Yun still needed more than an hour to arrive, the person in front of them might very well use that as an excuse to demand a re-pricing.
However, at this moment, a leisurely footsteps came from the doorway.
“I'm here.”
Xiao Yun opened the private room door and slowly walked in.
“You’re so fast!”
Seeing Xiao Yun's figure, Liu Shihhan was a little surprised.
They had just hung up the phone less than a minute ago, and Xiao Yun had arrived so quickly.
“I was just at home, not far from here.”
“Good, good… That was close, that was close.”
Yu Youya finally breathed a sigh of relief when he appeared.
However.
What she didn't expect was that the company's leader, upon seeing Xiao Yun, immediately seemed to transform into a different person.
No longer arrogant and disdainful as before, he quickly walked up to Xiao Yun, bowing to greet him.
“This must be Boss Xiao, I've heard so much about you!”
“You're here to sign the contract, right?”
“That's right, I'm the General Manager's secretary of Xiaomi Group, you can just call me Xiao Chen.”
“Xiaomi? Oh, I know, the one that makes electric vehicles, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes! That's why we need this armored vehicle battery! If this thing can be applied to electric cars after research, it would be invincible.”
Xiao Chen said, looking expectantly at the backpack on Xiao Yun's back.
However.
When he saw the deflated backpack, he felt something was off.
Logically, an electric vehicle battery is so big, it should at least make the backpack bulge, right? Why did the bag look like it had nothing inside?
“Boss Xiao, did you bring the item? Hahaha, just kidding, for such an important business, you couldn't possibly forget to bring the item, could you?”
“Don't worry, I brought it. By the way, where's the contract?”
Xiao Yun walked and sat next to Yu Youya, Xiao Chen sat opposite, and quickly pulled out the contract from his briefcase.
Although this contract was drafted by Yu Youya, for safety's sake, he had kept it after signing it.
Xiao Yun picked up the pen, just about to take the contract and sign it, but to his surprise, Xiao Chen showed no intention of handing it over.
“Boss Xiao, can I see the goods first?”
“What? Are you afraid we're trying to trick you?”
Yu Youya asked, somewhat amused, upon hearing this.
“I'm just being cautious, of course, it's not a problem with you, Boss Xiao, it's mainly a problem with my personality.”
Xiao Chen scratched his head and forced a smile.
To be honest, before coming to this internet cafe, Xiao Chen didn't feel anything.
But after learning that the transaction location was an internet cafe, and seeing how young Xiao Yun was, not looking like an experienced Restricted Area veteran.
Plus his deflated backpack, Xiao Chen now really had some doubts, thinking he might have been scammed!
After all.
What decent person would choose an internet cafe as the location for discussing business and signing contracts!
But fortunately, he held the contract in his hand after signing it, and if the situation was wrong, he would immediately find a way to escape.
“Speaking of which, you probably don't know our boss, do you?”
Facing Xiao Chen's doubts, Liu Shihhan simply smiled faintly.
“What do you mean?”
“You can search for the name ‘Xiao Yun’ online, any search engine will do.”
“Xiao… Yun… There really is information about Boss Xiao online!”
Xiao Chen opened his phone and searched, immediately feeling a bit shocked.
Because he only entered the two characters “Xiao Yun,” without any other information, and a string of keywords immediately popped up on the webpage.
Haibei City's once-in-a-millennium Restricted Area genius, completed a million-dollar evacuation at only 18 years old, 100% Restricted Area evacuation rate, GTI rank as high as Diamond Level, recommended for Tsinghua and Peking University...
Seeing this information, plus several videos of Xiao Yun being interviewed at school, Xiao Chen was also immediately surprised.
Although the information about Xiao Yun currently on the internet was relatively outdated.
For example, the information about his rank was posted on the news by a media editor who, after learning about Xiao Yun's situation, went to GTI to inquire, which is why it showed Xiao Yun as Diamond Level.
“No wonder Boss Xiao looks so young, he really is a rare genius in the Restricted Area! You should have told me earlier, that way I'd be much more at ease.”
After learning about Xiao Yun's information, Xiao Chen also flattered him profusely.
“By the way, what was the final price negotiated?”
Xiao Yun was also not verbose; he wouldn't feel any emotional fluctuations from a stranger's flattery.
After all, Xiao Chen in front of him was just a secretary, not Lei Jun of Xiaomi Group.
If Lei Jun himself came to negotiate the contract, Xiao Yun would definitely be a bit more polite than now, but presumably the other party was busy with work, so it was understandable if he didn't come for such a small matter.
On the contrary, Liu Shihhan, who was next to him, looked extremely triumphant after seeing Xiao Chen's shocked expression.
As if the person widely reported online recently was her!
“This big red material is a new species discovered by GTI in the Restricted Area, and I didn't expect Boss Xiao to find this material so quickly in the Restricted Area. If it's utilized well, our company is offering a price of 12 million a year.”
“How much!???”
Hearing this price, Xiao Yun was also immediately surprised.
