Preliminary Agreement

"I truly never imagined you could actually produce fifth-generation fighter technology."

Director Zhang was clearly still finding it hard to believe. He sat back down, but the tension on his face was still evident.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't lie to you all."

Chen Mu smiled and continued, "I'm still in this country, and I wouldn't joke around about something like this. After you go back, you can have your professional personnel examine it. It'll be very easy to tell if it's real."

"That's not what I meant. I'm just… a bit curious. Where exactly did all these technologies of yours come from?"

Director Zhang looked at Chen Mu, full of curiosity, and said, "As far as I know, the university you attended is just an ordinary second-tier institution. You shouldn't have had access to such advanced technology. Besides, even within the university, your performance seemed quite ordinary?"

In reality, if the military wanted to investigate Chen Mu, they could easily find out everything, down to the smallest detail.

"That's right, the university I attended is indeed a very ordinary one," Chen Mu nodded and said, "As for why I know these things, General, you can just assume I figured them out on my own."

Figuring out fifth-generation fighter technology through sheer trial and error?

Everyone present wore expressions of helplessness, but they couldn't really retort. They remained silent.

Especially his father, who looked even more embarrassed. Did this brat just make up a story without even thinking?

Was his own son really that brilliant?

"Alright then, let's talk about your plan in detail."

Director Zhang looked at Chen Mu and asked, "You want us to provide security for your company, so are you planning to establish a new company?"

"That's right. I've already thought of a name: Xiao Mu Technology. I've also designed the logo, just a simple pinyin letter 'mu'."

"……"

Isn't that a bit too casual?

"From the firearms before to the fifth-generation fighters now, regardless of whether they're real or not, both of these fall under the category of weaponry. Is your company aiming to engage in weapons development like Stark Enterprises?"

Director Zhang pondered for a moment, then frowned as he looked at Chen Mu. "You're not stupid, you should know the situation in our country, right? Manufacturing weapons is not allowed domestically. Private arms dealers are even more impossible."

"Who said Xiao Mu Technology is a weapons research enterprise? I plan to start with mobile phones. Of course, I'll also be conducting other technological research simultaneously, aiming to cover more industries."

Chen Mu looked at Director Zhang and continued, "That's precisely why I need the military's help even more."

"But if you have this kind of talent, wouldn't it be better to pursue weapons research? If you're willing, I can help you get into a research institute in that field."

"If the military needs my help in any way, I will naturally not refuse."

Chen Mu smiled, looked at Director Zhang, and continued, "However, I definitely won't be willing to join those systems."

"Alright then, give me a condition, and I'll see if I can help you with the arrangements."

Director Zhang nodded, looked at Chen Mu, and continued, "However, for a private enterprise to produce firearms, that's absolutely impossible."

"Don't jump to that conclusion just yet. Perhaps in the future, you'll be the one actively seeking to place orders with me?"

Chen Mu gave a mysterious smile, but then continued, "However, you can rest assured about this, Director. I definitely won't do anything illegal."

"That's good to hear."

"Also, I hope to establish a special economic zone for technology, and I'll need a piece of land."

"……"

This conversation lasted a long time. In the end, Chen Mu got what he wanted.

He would establish a company called Xiao Mu Technology. In the future, any technology analyzed and further researched from the Huaqiangbei System would become a product of Xiao Mu Technology. Of course, Xiao Mu Technology already had a plan for its first product: a smartphone.

This was actually something that had been discussed with Obadiah from Stark Industries. With their technological and financial support, this company would be established in China.

Of course, Obadiah's plan was to use the Xiao Mu Phone to infiltrate China and capture this massive market. However, for Chen Mu, he was also leveraging the other party's funds and technology, and even aiming to obtain Jarvis's technology.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a convenient opportunity.

Furthermore, the establishment of Xiao Mu Technology would involve government oversight. This was mainly because the firearm Chen Mu had developed, as well as the so-called fifth-generation fighter technology, made the authorities uneasy. Stationing someone to monitor him was also out of concern, to prevent Chen Mu from doing anything illegal and causing unnecessary trouble.

As for Chen Mu's plan to establish the "Huaqiangbei Industrial Park," it wasn't feasible. After all, Xiao Mu Technology hadn't yet made a significant impact, and it was impossible for the government to pay too much attention to him or follow his every word. This matter was simply put on hold, pending further review. Director Zhang did promise, however, that if Chen Mu could solve the funding issues himself, he would assist him in acquiring land in certain areas within the country.

"Well then, we'll take our leave here. It was a pleasure meeting you, Comrade Chen Mu."

After a lengthy discussion, Chen Mu and his party left the restaurant. Director Zhang, sitting in his car, bid farewell to Chen Mu and his father outside. He looked at Chen Mu and said meaningfully, "I don't want to see incidents like the one on Yulin Road happen again. I hope you will be a law-abiding citizen. Regarding the establishment of your company, I will have professional financial consultants assist you."

Yulin Road was actually the road where Chen Mu had killed those two wanted criminals earlier. Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected that the other party already knew about this matter?

"Of course, Director. We'll start preparing the company matters in the next few days. I'll be waiting for your financial consultants to visit anytime."

Therefore, Chen Mu quickly replied with a fawning smile.

Since the other party had never inquired about this matter, it effectively meant that the incident had passed, and Chen Mu had nothing to worry about. As for the so-called "financial consultants," who were essentially monitors, he didn't pay them much mind. Establishing Xiao Mu Enterprise wasn't primarily about money; if it made his operations more convenient, he would gladly welcome a professional to help his company.

"Well then, take care of yourself."

Director Zhang smiled, rolled up his car window, and Uncle Zhang drove the vehicle away. Of course, as the car departed, several other vehicles also emerged from different directions. Clearly, these were Director Zhang's bodyguards.

As a General, his security arrangements were naturally extremely stringent.
