In the house that Zong Zhi San found, Zhan Lingfeng waited all day without seeing anyone from the village come to see him. He sighed quietly, having once again experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
Not only did a few people from the village not show up, but even Miao Yongli, the woman with whom he had a special relationship, also did not come. Furthermore, Jiang Lingyu, after confirming that he was not the kind of reliable strong person she thought he was, did not call him again.
Zhan Lingfeng sat in the yard, basking in the sunlight, yet he smiled.
Many times it is like this; when testing a person, there are many methods to do so. Now, he had tested and revealed the situations of those few people.
For the past two days, Zhan Lingfeng had been waiting, knowing that it was almost time.
Sure enough, just as Zhan Lingfeng was pondering things, Zhi San walked in with two middle-aged men.
Once they entered, their gazes fell upon Zhan Lingfeng.
"You must be Mr. Zhan Lingfeng," said the leading middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, smiling as he looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
"That's right. And you are?"
Zhi San quickly replied, "Boss, these two are from Hongxing Group. This is Vice President Liu Weiguang, and this is Technical Director Ke Zhi Hai."
After the introductions were made, Zhi San said, "You two chat; I’ll step outside for a moment."
Once Zhi San left, Zhan Lingfeng looked at the two men and said, "You are here for the design proposal of that mobile phone, right?"
Both men were taken aback and then looked at Zhan Lingfeng. "How did you know we would come?"
"My design proposal was a draft that was stolen. However, there are some core contents that I did not release. Only after starting research will they realize that some key elements are missing. I believe that people from my original group will come as well as many manufacturers. I've been waiting for a few days."
The two did not expect Zhan Lingfeng to be so direct, and after hesitating for a moment, one of them said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhan has managed to work out the core content?"
"Yes, I have researched it."
"We at Hongguang Group are interested in inviting Mr. Zhan to work for our company. I wonder what requirements Mr. Zhan has?"
"We don't need to discuss the job. If you want the complete set of technology, we can talk."
The two exchanged glances, and Ke Zhi Hai said, "If Mr. Zhan is willing to sell, we naturally want it. What would the price be?"
"If it's just what I've shared so far, then let's say five hundred thousand. If you want to buy everything in a package, it would be one million."
Neither of them expected that Zhan Lingfeng would only ask for such a small amount of money, and they were somewhat stunned.
Liu Weiguang asked, "Is that for everything?"
"Don't worry, this is just a part of my entire design. No one will have the same production as you."
"Are you saying that you have other design plans?"
"Of course, I can't just stop progressing, can I?"
"When the designs are completed, do we have the right of first purchase?"
"If I decide to sell, then yes."
"I heard that Lingkong Group has filed a patent for the plan you designed?"
"What they obtained is just my most original design. What you will get is definitely far more advanced than what they have. I will not sell the truly core elements; they do not understand those things, and very few people do now. I will apply for patents on those."
Zhan Lingfeng was also proud, as the technologies he possessed were not something that people today could even conceive of. Once he applied for patents on each of them, he would be able to develop at a much faster pace.
As the two were about to discuss further, Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "This price is already the cheapest. If you don't want it, you can leave."
After some discussion, the two felt that one million was indeed not expensive, so they signed a contract with Zhan Lingfeng and purchased the design plan.
Once the transaction was completed and the money had been transferred to Zhan Lingfeng's account, Liu Weiguang asked, "Mr. Zhan, I want to ask something. This design plan could sell for much more than one million anywhere else; why are you selling it for this price?"
"I'm in need of money right now," Zhan Lingfeng replied.
Liu Weiguang could only smile and say, "I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again."
After sending the two away, Zhan Lingfeng turned to Artifact Spirit with a troubled expression and said, "Does this mean I really have to take the path of improving myself through money?"
"That's right. Now that you've left that corporate group, you've lost the opportunity for promotion through position. So now you must rely on your financial resources for advancement. In fact, this path you're taking is the most beneficial for your development."
"Isn't it said that one should temper their character? Doesn't this seem a bit ostentatious?"
"A Cultivator constantly suppressing their character is actually not advisable. Improving through financial means is better in some ways. Congratulations on being able to take this path."
Zhan Lingfeng was momentarily speechless; he hadn't expected such a thing.
However, upon reflecting on his time at the corporate group, Zhan Lingfeng realized that it truly was not conducive to his development.
"So from now on, I can still develop freely?"
"It's great that you have this realization. Haven't you noticed that your True Essence transformation has sped up a bit?"
Looking closely, Zhan Lingfeng found that indeed, since leaving that factory, his True Essence had increased significantly.
"Do you suggest that selling the plan cheaply also has its intricacies?"
"Your First Bucket of Gold is the foundation of your development. If the base is raised too high, the next step in development will become difficult."
Boom!
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng felt that his True Essence had reached a certain amount, and he had actually entered the level of Qi Refinement First Layer.
"How could this happen?"
"Since you have achieved the goal of First Bucket of Gold, it means you have reached a foundational quantity, which naturally elevates you by one level. From now on, each time you need to level up, there will be a standard. The next upgrade requires two million in funds, and the level after that will require four million."
Zhan Lingfeng started to sweat a bit. If that's the case, how much money does he need to earn to reach Tribulation?
Just thinking about it was somewhat terrifying.
However, Zhan Lingfeng actually liked this straightforward and brutal method of advancement.
Fortunately, Zhan Lingfeng had been researching various matters in the factory and understood the entire operation. After obtaining one million, Zhan Lingfeng began to file for various Mobile Patents. He registered knowledge that no one else had at the time, ensuring that anyone producing mobile phones in the future would have to navigate around his patents.
Thankfully, with the help of Zhi San and others, Zhan Lingfeng was able to smoothly handle the entire patent application process.
