Heated Discussion

The phone calls went unanswered, text messages received no replies, and staking out the company entrance yielded no sign of him. Even contacting merchants on JD.com and Taobao only resulted in automated chatbot responses.

Currently, Shenma Technology Company sells twenty thousand units of its product daily. The number of people trying to reach Ning Yifan through customer service is easily eight thousand out of ten thousand. Since Ning Yifan is the sole employee of Shenma Technology Company, acting as both producer and customer service representative, it's absurd to expect him to reply to everyone patiently!

The major companies' plan to contact Ning Yifan through chat windows failed once again, and their joint acquisition plan had been at a standstill from the very beginning.

After going in circles, the representatives from the major companies realized that the young man named Ning Yifan seemed to have completely blocked all their information channels.

So, how could they possibly contact him?

Ultimately, the major companies thought of a desperate measure: they decided to publicize the matter widely, letting everyone in Daxia Country know about the acquisition plan. They figured that even then, Ning Yifan wouldn't be able to ignore it!

If this method still didn't work and they couldn't get a response, they would simply think of another plan!

After all, trying wouldn't hurt. Many things are achieved through continuous experimentation.

The major companies were at a critical juncture, facing a life-or-death situation. They had to grasp any glimmer of hope and give it a try.

And so, on this day, the major companies posted a unified message across all their online platforms – official Weibo, Bilibili accounts, official Douyin channels, and any other channel capable of broadcasting online. Regardless of whether Shenma Technology Company had its own Weibo, Bilibili, or Douyin accounts, they all sent out the same message, tagging Shenma Technology Company's official account.

The chairmen of these companies personally appeared in videos, addressing the entire Daxia audience and solemnly delivering this message to Ning Yifan.

"To Mr. Ning Yifan:

Hello, Mr. Ning Yifan. We are a joint acquisition group formed by Changhong, TCL, Skyworth, Haier, and Hisense, following a board meeting.

We are very interested in your Shenma Technology Company and its Phantom Projector. We hope to acquire Shenma Technology Company and the technology behind the Phantom Projector from you.

For this, we are willing to pay a company acquisition fee of [amount to be filled in].

The Phantom Projector is undoubtedly a product created by a genius, a person of immense talent. Its emergence has severely impacted our traditional televisions, causing them to retreat steadily.

Concurrently, we are also paying close attention to you personally, Mr. Ning Yifan. According to some sources, you graduated from university just one year ago. If you are interested, we would also like to invite you to serve as our company's Technical Director. You would only need to visit the company a few times a year for guidance, with an annual salary starting at one hundred million. Furthermore, there will be significant bonuses for major achievements.

We hope that Mr. Ning Yifan will contact us after seeing this message."

With money paving the way, this message quickly climbed to the top of Weibo's trending topics, became a popular video on Bilibili, and hit the trending list on Douyin.

The announcement of an eight-hundred-billion acquisition plan immediately captured the attention of numerous netizens. Such a massive acquisition fund was unprecedented in history, akin to witnessing history unfold, leaving netizens in a frenzy!

"Shenma Technology Company, the producer of the Phantom Projector? Their sales have indeed been incredibly hot recently, with daily sales of twenty thousand units selling out within minutes. I never expected it to generate so much money!"

"Eight hundred billion!!! That much, is Shenma Technology Company worth it?"

"I only knew the Phantom Projector was incredibly popular lately, but I didn't realize these major home appliance companies were pushed to this extent, banding together to acquire Shenma Technology Company."

"Eight hundred billion? The number is too large; it's beyond my comprehension. Let me think, if a person lives for a hundred years, how could they spend this money in their lifetime?

A hundred years is about thirty-six thousand five hundred days. That comes out to over twenty-one million nine hundred ten thousand yuan per day. With that much money, you could spend it lavishly and still likely not run out in a lifetime!"

"Shenma Technology Company is incredibly powerful! I have a Phantom Projector Generation 2 at home, and I have to say, it's amazing. So much better than a regular TV!"

"One year out of college??? I feel like I got a fake PhD!"

"This is unbelievable. I just checked the sales figures for these companies' TV products online. Guess what? How are their products selling now? Can you believe a single official flagship store online has single-digit sales in a month! A previous best-selling TV product, which at this time last year could achieve monthly sales of over ten thousand units!"

"Poor home appliance companies, but this is reality. Consumers buy based on products. If your product is good, they'll naturally buy it. As technology advances, when better products emerge, they'll naturally abandon you."

"If they hadn't spoken out, I would have almost forgotten about them. Now, the first choice for buying a TV is the Phantom Projector produced by Shenma Technology Company. Especially since even after Double 11, the price of the Phantom Projector hasn't gone back up; it's incredibly cost-effective!"

"Eight hundred billion, that's an astronomical sum. It's more money than I could earn in a lifetime, ten lifetimes, or even a hundred lifetimes!"

"Shenma Technology Company, Ning Yifan, right now, immediately, I need all his information! If she's a girl, I'll use all my skills to woo her. Her looks, height, weight don't matter; I just like her as a person!

If he's a guy, tell him to wait two months for me. I'll go to Thailand and come back, and then I'll immediately marry him. It's not about the money; it's because he's already deeply captivated me!

Look at the name Ning Yifan, how perfectly it matches my name XXX. He's my destined person!"

"Hey, buddy, have some dignity!"

"Eight hundred billion. It's just three words, but when you think about it carefully, it means you'll never have to worry about money again, and you could even directly enter the Forbes list, becoming one of the wealthiest people in the world!"

"I live in a fourth-tier city where a decent house costs about four to five hundred thousand yuan. Eight hundred billion... wait, let me calculate this with a computer. At fifty thousand yuan per house, that's... units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions!

Eight hundred billion can buy one million six hundred thousand houses at five hundred thousand each. One million six hundred thousand houses... our small city doesn't even have that many houses for sale. The permanent population is only a few hundred thousand. Assuming three people per household, the city has about two hundred thousand houses. Adding other facilities and miscellaneous items, conservatively, it could buy ten cities like the one I live in!

My goodness, I didn't realize until I calculated it. Is this big shot named Ning Yifan still looking for someone to hang onto? Does he need help grooming his leg hair? I'm an expert!"

"Shenma Technology Company, is the Phantom Projector really worth that much money? If you converted all that money, it could pile up into a mountain, right!"

"This is an industry revolution; it's worth that much! If these major companies obtain the Phantom Projector technology, it will bring about significant changes. The Phantom Projector could go global in a short period, dominating the global market and creating a monopoly. Simultaneously, there are numerous derivative profits, such as TV advertising, brand value, and other income streams!"

"I'm truly envious. I did a quick calculation: if all that money were deposited in the bank, the interest earned in one day would probably be more than I could earn in a lifetime!"

"Going to sleep now. I'll have everything in my dreams. I'll prop up my pillow a bit higher; maybe tonight I'll dream of becoming this young man named Ning Yifan."

"Sacrificing five international companies from Daxia Country to make one person personally wealthy. Looking at the scale of these companies, Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, and even the official websites of major companies all have this message. It doesn't seem fake!"

"This Shenma Technology Company, founded less than half a year ago, is too amazing! With the Phantom Projector technology in hand, it's equivalent to several international conglomerates. It's truly incredibly powerful!"

"Everyone's talking about eight hundred billion, but I'm the one envious of that job that requires minimal work and pays a hundred million a year!"

"Hey, compared to eight hundred billion, one hundred million a year is too little. Earning that salary, it would take eight thousand years to earn that much money. Everything is relative. If it were just a hundred million yuan salary per year, it would still be shocking, but compared to eight hundred billion, it seems a bit insignificant!"

"The Phantom Projector is the future. The era of televisions is over. Since buying the Phantom Projector, I've been using my phone less every day. The projected screen covers an entire wall; playing console games is incredibly satisfying, and movies are also super amazing!"

"Another person's child. At the same age in his twenties, he, Ning Yifan, can become the world's richest man. I can say I'm not interested in money without any issues. And me? I'm still debating whether to have braised beef noodles or pickled cabbage beef noodles for dinner tonight, and I don't even dare to add a slice of ham sausage for fear of starving the latter half of the month. I'm still worrying about next month's rent and finding a job. Suddenly, I want to smash my head against a wall and start over!"

"What is genius? This is genius. It's true that knowledge is wealth!"

The joint acquisition plan of eight hundred billion yuan from several companies truly opened the eyes of the online spectators, and also made them incredibly curious about Ning Yifan, the boss of Shenma Technology Company.

What kind of person could this be, to be on the verge of obtaining the world's top wealth at such a young age?

Yes, judging by the amount presented in this acquisition proposal, no one doubted its success.

Put yourself in their shoes. As an entrepreneur, eight hundred billion yuan is almost the amount Shenma Technology Company would earn in decades if it continued on its current path. Now, all they had to do was agree to the acquisition to receive money that would take decades of work to earn.

What's more, what if something unexpected happened during Shenma Technology Company's operations!

Any normal person would know how to choose!

"The name Ning Yifan, you can tell he's a guy. Sisters, our chance has come! Seeking the address of Shenma Technology Company with a hefty reward. Whether we can snag a rich man depends on this!"

"At such a young age, he's already reached a height that ordinary people can't achieve in a lifetime. He's too amazing. Compared to those rich second-generation heirs with great birth luck, this is the real deal!"

"Once the acquisition is complete, he'll reach a level that even the world's most successful self-made billionaires can only dream of!"

"Ahhh, why isn't this protagonist me? If it were me, I'd buy islands, buy yachts, party with a hundred girls every day, travel the world, and live a life of decadent pleasure!"

"The person above, let me tell you from experience, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Forget a hundred, you couldn't even handle two or three. You'd be drained in less than a month!"

"The rich person above, you seem to have revealed something!"

"Another 'National Husband' has appeared. Compared to President Wang, this is the real big shot!"

"I'm especially curious now, what does this young man, Ning Yifan, who just graduated a year ago, look like? Does anyone with inside information have any photos to share? I hope this big shot is ugly, otherwise how are we ordinary people supposed to live!"

"Even an ugly face becomes a unique kind of handsome with the addition of money, don't you think, Mr. Ma! At that level, looks don't matter anymore!"

"Graduated only a year ago, this young man named Ning Yifan, is he the protagonist of some idol drama!"

"'The CEO is Overbearing and Falls in Love with Me,' ahhhh, I suddenly thought of a novel plot. It would be great if it could happen in real life!"

"I wonder if my husband has a girlfriend. If not, that's best. If he does, I don't mind sharing!"

Online discussions about Shenma Technology Company and Ning Yifan sparked widespread public debate, with everyone speculating about Ning Yifan's true identity.

Meanwhile, Chen Shunjie, who had just finished a busy day of work and accompanied a client looking at properties without closing the deal, returned home. After resting for a while, he took out his phone and saw the trending Weibo news and the topic that had ignited public discussion.

Ning Yifan, Shenma Technology Company?

Chen Shunjie stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Shenma Technology Company, Ning Yifan? Wasn't that a factory rental brokerage deal he handled a few months ago? He had spent several days showing them factories, almost touring every industrial park around Chengdu, which left a deep impression on Chen Shunjie.

He was a very handsome young man, with a great physique, who liked to ride his bicycle early in the morning to view factories with him.

The factory they finally purchased was located in Dujiangyan. At the time, Chen Shunjie had made a substantial profit as a broker, helping with the transfer and handling related procedures!

Compared to other big bosses, Ning Yifan was quite unconventional, leaving a deep impression on Chen Shunjie. He had initially thought he was a rich second-generation heir playing at running a company. He never expected that his company would end up on Weibo's trending list, with several well-known companies in Daxia Country joining forces to acquire his company and technology for eight hundred billion yuan.

In just a few months, the company had reached this point?!

Thinking about him, then thinking about himself, Chen Shunjie sighed.

Comparing people leads to death, comparing goods leads to being thrown away!

Heaven was too unfair. It had already given that person a face that surpassed Daniel Wu, and then it gave him the world's top wealth. It was practically forcing ordinary people to their deaths!

He wondered if it was too late to latch onto him now. Unfortunately, he didn't have a sister or a younger sister, and his mother wasn't going to remarry. Otherwise, if they could become family, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life...

The related information online sent Chen Shunjie's imagination running wild. After a day of busy work, he found himself indulging in some rare wishful thinking.
