Chapter 93 Negotiation

  Everyone was overjoyed to see Zhao Tong, but although he smiled and spoke warmly on the surface, others were still secretly worried that he might be forcing himself to smile and would be hurt if someone brought up a certain topic.

  He talked a lot of nonsense, but Zhao Tong couldn't help but laugh and feel touched.

  After chatting for a while, seeing that everyone at home was somewhat absent-minded, Zhao Tong took the initiative to bring up some things about his trip south, and everyone hurriedly perked up their ears.

  Zhao Tong and Yu Qian arrived at a hotel in Wuxi after heading south, and Yu Qian returned home ahead of time to test her parents' attitude. She didn't mention Zhao Tong's specific situation, only saying that she had made a boyfriend and hoped her parents would meet him. Although Yu Qian's parents were somewhat opposed, they did not object.

  In the few days of trying to meet, Zhao Tong didn't idle around either. He roughly strolled around Wuxi's outskirts and also asked Yu Qian about her parents' preferences, wanting to pick a relatively satisfactory gift.

  Yu's father liked books, paintings and antiques, so Zhao Tong bought a set of late Qing dynasty four-season snuff bottles. For Yu's mother, he bought a set of expensive cosmetics and several boxes of supplements.

  He himself was also dressed up to be particularly handsome, looking like a young elite, his whole body had undergone a huge transformation, and Yu Qian almost couldn't recognize him when she saw him again.

  With thorough preparation for the intelligence work, Zhao Tong finally had the confidence to step into Yu Qian's home. Yu Qian's family lived in a separate government compound, with an independent design of one door and one courtyard.

  As soon as they entered the house, Yu Qian's parents were still quite warm and welcoming, their faces didn't show any particularly strained expressions. They all worked in government, where would you see different emotions? If it was too emotional, officialdom wouldn't go far either.

  As long as Zhao Tong wasn't immediately kicked out of the door, he felt at ease and thought it was a relatively good start.

  Next, his father and mother began to ask about Zhao Tong's life in a roundabout way. Zhao Tong did not hide anything and told the truth, only slightly embellishing it, and also explained his current situation and future plans clearly.

  At noon, Zhao Tong stayed at home for lunch. Yu Qian's parents did not show any attitude. When Zhao Tong left, he was still a little nervous.

  Yu Qian's family was not calm either, her parents were not well prepared for the possibility of their daughter dating. After all, Yu Qian had always been very obedient since she was a child, and they didn't expect that she would fall in love.

  The conditions at home are not what they used to be, and it's not like you can just do whatever you want.

  "Dad and mom, I know you want me to get married soon, but marriage is also a matter of choice. Zhao Tong and I come from different backgrounds, he's willing to work hard to meet your expectations for my sake, and we have feelings for each other too. Can't you consider it a bit more?" Yu Qian tried to persuade her parents.

  "I think that young man's conditions are still a bit lacking. His family doesn't have any particularly strong connections, his economic situation is just average, and his education isn't very high." This is Yu Mu's point of view.

  "I think this young man is not bad, he knows how to make progress and has the courage, it's just that he is still far from being good enough now. We also hope you can marry well. The choice of person doesn't need to be decided too early." What Father looks at is other people's potential.

  Yu Qian looked at her parents with some impatience: "Dad and Mom, you also know that there are many promising young people nowadays. But who would make an effort to win your approval for me? They all rely on their families anyway. Even if we only consider personal relationships, Zhao Tong's feelings for me are sufficient. Besides, he works very hard, and not everyone can succeed just by working hard. And yet, he was able to build such a big business in just two or three years after starting from scratch. Dad and Mom, please think about it again."

  This aspect was never thought of by his parents, and it was unexpected that Zhao Tong would have such achievements in just a few years. It can be expected that in a few more years, he will definitely become even more outstanding.

  Zhao Tong is a high-potential stock that makes people reluctant to give up, and with the addition of his daughter's feelings for him, it adds even more weight, making one have to carefully consider.

  After all, she is an only daughter, her happiness is also very important, if it can be both perfect that would be great.

  I have discussed with both my father and mother in private, and we think that Yu Qian has not graduated yet, so there is still some time to continue checking. If Zhao Tong's abilities are only this good, it won't be too late to give up later on.

  Of course, if it's even better, then their marriage can't be ruled out either.

  Yu Qian told Zhao Tong her parents' opinions, and she also felt embarrassed, thinking that her parents were holding her back. However, Zhao Tong thought this was even better than his original idea, a step forward from what he had initially thought.

  Finally, when Zhao Tong left, he went to Yu Qian's home again for a visit. He didn't mention anything about the future, but only chatted about family matters and mentioned going back to university for further studies. He didn't say much more. Yu's father and mother looked at him with even greater esteem.

  This delay was just over a month, and Zhao Tong didn't idle around either. Whenever he had some free time, he would investigate the market and do some research to prepare for future business expansion.

  Yu Qian naturally hopes that she can quickly complete her studies and help Zhao Tong with his work, so the two of them can strive together side by side.

  So when he came back, Zhao Tong's mood was quite good and didn't feel discouraged, but instead became more excited.

  Although it was not said to have been thoroughly agreed upon, at least it was not thoroughly vetoed, which is already a very good news.

  The people at home finally felt relieved. Mr. Zhao also reminded Zhao Tong to work harder, not only for others but also for himself.

  After this ordeal, the two of them finally cleared up their relationship. Yu Qian also entered Zhao's home with ease and began to act as if she were Zhao Tong's girlfriend.

  Song Jie still took out a lot of time every day before going to sleep to do experiments in the space, and after repeated failures, he finally made an improved version of the stay-young agent.

  An improved version of a rejuvenating agent, although it's not as magical as the magic potion that can instantly restore youth, it should still not be underestimated.

  Song Jie uses the magic version of the anti-aging agent as a lead, combined with the pure plant-based harmony of traditional Chinese medicine, making the new version of the anti-aging agent more marketable. As long as it is mixed into cosmetics, the cosmetics will have a magical effect, nourishing and whitening the skin is not a problem, and to some extent, it can also have an anti-wrinkle effect.

  Older women all know that as long as wrinkles appear, simply using cosmetics is not possible to repair, just like broken nerve lines, wanting to restore, it's almost impossible. The best way is to prevent in advance, and the effect of remedying afterwards is indeed not obvious.

  If you want to get rid of wrinkles, surgery is the only way to remove them, just like a big pile of cosmetic procedures in later generations.

  The anti-aging agent that Song Jie is currently researching, however, has a restorative effect, and it's easy to imagine how popular it will be once it hits the market. Not to mention its other aspects are also very effective, let alone the fact that the cosmetics industry isn't yet flooded with such products.

  After spending some time with Zhang Yang's parents, Song Jie felt that cooperating with them was still relatively secure. At least their background was solid and their funds were abundant, making them a worthwhile investment object.

  Song Jie also knew that she was not material for business, but only took advantage of the advanced information of later generations. In the future, it is still necessary to learn more.

  Just then Zhao Tong returned, and Song Jie quietly found her younger uncle and told him about her own idea.

  It had long been thought that his niece was not simple, but he didn't expect to have such an idea. Zhao Tong couldn't help but admit that even he himself was moved. With a perfect formula, plus strong funds and background, what reason would be buried? He simply hadn't considered the possibility of the formula being no good, showing how much confidence he had in Song Jie.

  Zhao Tong, through his own business experience, also realized his inadequacies. When he was at Qian's house, he said he wanted to make up for the university courses, and it wasn't just talk. He has been studying books on business administration and law, constantly enriching himself.

  After listening to Song Jie's proposal, Zhao Tong also thought it was a good idea. However, Song Jie was really too young. If she rashly went to discuss cooperation, it would be strange if others didn't take advantage of her. Fortunately, she had given herself advance notice.

  Zhao Tong didn't treat Song Jie like a child either, and gave her a detailed explanation of the contract and profit-sharing aspects for the future, as well as some textual pitfalls that could be avoided.

  Song Jie was amazed, although she had some contact with this aspect before, but didn't know the details. She didn't expect her little uncle to be a business genius, and he had already studied it thoroughly in such a short time.

  Song Jieling's mind moved, and she wanted to invite her younger uncle to invest in the company. However, Zhao Tong shook his head in denial. It cannot be denied that the prospects of cosmetics are vast, but he would rather focus on electronics for now and make some progress.

  Zhao Tong is no longer just buying goods from others' factories and selling them, but has also purchased several production lines in the south to produce his own electronic products. His dream is to become a leader in the electronics industry in the future.

  Song Jie saw that Zhao Tong was not listening, so she stopped persuading him and only briefly mentioned some communication-related issues. For example, pagers, beepers, etc., after rambling on for a bit, Zhao Tong gained some insights and was quite inspired.

  The two nephews and uncles chatted enthusiastically and agreed to go to Zhang Yang's house together tomorrow, and then they went to find relevant materials separately.

  On Sunday, the two came to Zhang Yang's home. Zhang's father naturally returned home every weekend to accompany his wife and son, a model good husband.

  Zhao Tong also came along with him. A hint of puzzlement flashed across Zhang Yang's parents' eyes, and they immediately warmly invited the two to take a seat.

  Through self-introduction, Zhang Fu only discovered that Zhao Tong was actually the new rising star in the electronics industry. He had heard of him before, but since they were from different industries, they had no chance to meet, so their attitude became even more enthusiastic. As both were businessmen, they naturally had a lot to talk about and felt like kindred spirits.

  After talking a lot, Zhao Tong finally remembered his original intention and felt a bit embarrassed, almost forgetting it. Then he secretly admired in his heart that Zhang Fu was a rare good teacher and friend, and Song Jie's vision was really not covered.
