Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1344: Chapter 1343: Black Technology

I disagree. I will not open space for you in Ten Thousand Realms," Jiang Cheng said indifferently.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, the hot-tempered Zhang Sha couldn’t hold back and shouted at Jiang Cheng, "You brat, why are you so ungrateful? Don’t be too greedy!"

Haha, don’t rush, Elder Zhang, I haven’t finished speaking yet. I won’t open space for you in Ten Thousand Realms because you’d definitely demand the highest authority, which I cannot give. However, I can customize a Virtual Reality System for you." Jiang Cheng said, looking at the two elders, waiting for their response.

This was a solution Jiang Cheng had just thought of. He planned to start another company specializing in custom virtual systems. He had already handed Ten Thousand Realms over to Rice Company, pairing it with the Rice Bracelet, but he wanted the virtual system to truly enter every household, which wouldn’t be possible with Rice Company alone, so he needed to approach it from other angles. Now, customizing systems for the nation was just the first step in his plan.

The two elders fell into deep thought after hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, feeling that a customized system for the team seemed more worthwhile the more they considered it. But could this little fox really be so kind-hearted?

Speak then, what are the conditions?" Li Shengli looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, prepared for an exorbitant request.

The conditions are simple. I’m planning to start my own company, and I hope the two elders can provide support and guidance. And, of course, I also hope my company won’t have interference from the authorities," Jiang Cheng said, looking at them.

"So, Jiang Xiaoyou, what if we wish to hold shares in your company? Or the nation does," Li Shengli, looking far ahead, foresaw the future of this yet-to-be-established company. The rise of Virtual Reality is inevitable, and Jiang Cheng’s plan to specifically customize Virtual Reality Systems for various industries suggests that this company would become a technology powerhouse. If they don’t seize the opportunity now, it would be difficult to join in later.

Li Shengli’s words didn’t surprise Jiang Cheng; he had already considered this.

The nation is impossible, truth be told, I don’t trust the authorities. But if you two want to invest as individuals, then I, Jiang Cheng, would wholeheartedly welcome that," Jiang Cheng finished, smiling at the two.

Li Shengli and Zhang Yi pondered for a while, seemingly realizing something, and simultaneously called, "Little fox."

Actually, Jiang Cheng’s thinking was simple: if the nation invested, even though he would be the major shareholder, crucial decisions could not escape certain governmental constraints, and national investment would make the company’s attributes difficult to define. Jiang Cheng didn’t want such unstable factors in his company.

However, if Li Shengli and Zhang Yi invested as individuals, it would be completely different. Firstly, with these two’s identities and standings, they could offer the same assistance as the nation, and the lack of national pressure means Jiang Cheng wouldn’t have to see things from the government’s perspective, ensuring no instability in his plans.

The two elders chuckled, "Haha, what do the two elders think?" Jiang Cheng still had a smile on his face.

Li Shengli and Zhang Yi fell into silence. This matter offered them many benefits, including economic interests, a sense of increased authority, and at least priority use of this technology, which was their goal in coming. Li Shengli, now old but wise, made calculations in his mind, realizing there wasn’t a downside to this. Realizing his lack of reason not to proceed, Li Shengli spoke.

If I invest personally, what are the conditions?" Li Shengli wasn’t foolish, nor was Jiang Cheng. Such good opportunities could warrant anyone’s involvement—many in the Hua family wield power and eye toward Jiang Cheng’s system. If Li Shengli couldn’t propose a satisfactory condition, he might not even convince himself.

Then, Zhang Yi spoke first, "I can give you the rank of colonel in Yanbang Team District; the condition being fifteen percent of shares. How about that?" Zhang Yi, offering generous terms.

Colonel rank—in normal promotion speed, a regular person would need at least twenty years to reach the colonel rank. To Zhang Yi, nothing moved a man’s heart more than team ranks.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but find it amusing; Elder Zhang Yi sure was forthright. For Jiang Cheng, a business novice, the rank had no practical use. Would anyone waive taxes due to a rank? Clearly not.

Elder Zhang, what would I do with your military rank? I’m not part of the team," Jiang Cheng said, somewhat troubled.

If I gave you an active colonel position capable of personnel transfers?" Zhang Yi’s words stunned not only Jiang Cheng but even Li Shengli.

I could arrange manpower for emergencies to your use, which is a privilege many provincial-level officials lack." Zhang Yi said, looking at Jiang Cheng, his eyes betraying a readiness to give all.

Jiang Cheng fell silent, moved by the offer.

A month later, a company named Existence Technology Co., Ltd. was established within an office building in Wu City. No fireworks, no ribbon-cutting, just a five-story office building and some employees. This company that would later astonish the world was founded, with a registered capital of one million. Jiang Cheng wasn’t short of funds but felt it unnecessary; like good wine, quality does not fear obscurity. In the future, not just one hundred million, but billions wouldn’t be an issue. What does more registered capital matter when large sums enter his account daily from Rice Company dividends, enough to cover his expenses for lifetimes?

Inside the Chairman’s office on the top floor of Existence Technology Co., Ltd., Jiang Cheng sat, observing his surroundings, feeling like there was something special about this place. Indeed, it was very special because this marked the first step toward building his commercial empire! Yes, creating his own business empire, an idea that slowly formed in Jiang Cheng’s mind after seeing off Li Shengli and Zhang Yi that day.

In technology manufacturing, Jiang Cheng had no worries; with the Black Technology System in his grasp, and now possessing the Virtual Reality System—a major weapon—he had the complete strength to dominate the city without relying on Rice Company. It wasn’t a matter of dissatisfaction with Rice Company; rather, it was that Rice Company lacked the needed capabilities. Jiang Cheng couldn’t wait for Rice Company to mature. With technology, connections, and funds in his hands, he could take matters into his own hands, as Rice Company, in terms of networking connections, was far from being his equal.
