The representatives from United Sun and Moon Company were stunned by Min Ziqiong's words.
They looked at Min Ziqiong in disbelief, as if unable to accept that such words had come from her mouth.
After all, they were United Sun and Moon!
The world's leading daily chemical giant!
Their assets were so vast that they could crush any small to medium-sized enterprise! Even large corporations!
No one had ever dared to speak to them like this, let alone declare war directly!
It was like a newborn infant, unable to even walk steadily, provoking a giant.
It was pathetic and ridiculous!
"Miss Min, I hope you understand what you are saying! And I hope you understand the consequences of your words!"
The representative from United Sun and Moon Company said with deep mockery in his eyes, issuing a warning.
Min Ziqiong's expression remained unchanged, still sharp and resolute. "Of course I understand what I am saying. Do you think you are like aloof gods, and that by bestowing a little scrap, a horde of brainless followers will kneel and follow you?"
"I'm sorry, if I had never seen a true god, I would have knelt as you expected; but since I have seen a true god, why should I worship you false gods?"
"Your United Sun and Moon Company is indeed a multinational conglomerate, but that is limited to the daily necessities industry. In the field of life sciences, Shen Jing is the absolute overlord! The deity behind me is the true master! You want me to kneel to you?"
"Do you think you are worthy?"
"Gentlemen, please feel free to leave."
After Min Ziqiong finished speaking, she disappeared from the sight of the representatives of United Sun and Moon Company.
The representatives of United Sun and Moon Company stood frozen on the spot.
After a long while, they said angrily and exasperatedly, "Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"
"Since she refuses to cooperate, then let her truly understand how terrifying the consequences of offending a giant like us can be!"
"She thinks having the technology is enough? Believe it or not, she won't even be able to build a production plant, nor open a sales channel!"
The representatives of United Sun and Moon Company left in anger.
News of United Sun and Moon Company's setback quickly spread throughout the entire life sciences circle.
Many were surprised that Min Ziqiong had refused United Sun and Moon Company, and gloated over their misfortune.
In their opinion, United Sun and Moon Company was too arrogant and did not humble themselves to cooperate sincerely.
As long as they learned from United Sun and Moon Company's mistake, they could definitely succeed in securing Min Ziqiong and the cooperation rights of Shen Jing.
But to their surprise, even though they had clearly learned their lesson and were negotiating with utmost sincerity, they were still rejected by Min Ziqiong.
Although Min Ziqiong's rejection was very polite, and she kept open the possibility of future cooperation in a different form, her rejection of their proposed capital injection and joint production and sales methods was extremely thorough and firm.
Clearly, United Sun and Moon Company had set a bad precedent, making Min Ziqiong highly vigilant.
She had no intention of handing over the formula and technology of Shen Jing to outsiders!
This inevitably caused them to worry.
Without the formula and technology, they would at best be mere distributors.
What was their status?
They were all multinational giants, without exception!
How could they be willing to act as distributors for others?
They couldn't afford to lose face!
Therefore, some companies decided to try a different approach, a roundabout way to achieve their goal, hoping to persuade Min Ziqiong through other channels.
The Min Family.
Two foreign executives in suits were sitting opposite Min Ziqiong's parents.
Although they were foreigners, they were fluent in Dragon Country's language.
They were even quite knowledgeable about Dragon Country's tea ceremony culture.
Within a few sentences, they had Min Ziqiong's father smiling heartily.
"Mr. Min, earlier this year, a friend gave me half a catty of Da Hong Pao tea. Although it's not from the mother tree, it's from the same origin. I've brought it all for you today."
One of the executives handed a bag to Min Ziqiong's father.
Min Ziqiong's father was greatly surprised.
He certainly knew about Da Hong Pao, and even more so about Da Hong Pao from the mother tree.
Legend had it that only a few liang of tea were produced from the mother tree each year, all of which were tribute gifts.
Ordinary people couldn't even see it, let alone drink it.
Da Hong Pao from the mother tree was naturally out of his reach.
And Da Hong Pao from the same origin as the mother tree, while a step down, was still extremely valuable!
It was still something Min Ziqiong's father never dared to dream of!
Yet now, something he normally couldn't even imagine was placed right before him!
How could he not be excited?
"Ms. Min, I didn't know what you liked, so I could only choose some slightly vulgar items as gifts."
"This is a Patek Philippe ladies' watch, inlaid with 12 diamonds to represent the 12 hours. The dial is made of platinum and adorned with 360 small diamonds, giving it a vast, starry sky appearance at first glance."
"I hope you like it."
The executive then took out another gift and handed it to Min Ziqiong's mother.
Min Ziqiong's mother's eyes lit up instantly.
Although she didn't like watches, she liked money!
And this Patek Philippe was worth at least over a million!
Even if she didn't wear it, she could make a substantial profit by selling it!
She never expected these two executives, whom she had never met before, to bring such valuable gifts on their first visit!
Min Ziqiong's parents looked at their respective gifts for a long time before reluctantly putting them away and asking, "Gentlemen, you've traveled a long way, what exactly is the matter? Let's dispense with the pleasantries and get straight to the point!"
"We will do whatever we can to help you! And even if we can't, we will do our best to help!"
The two executives exchanged glances. "With Mr. and Mrs. Min's words, we are reassured."
"It's like this, let's be frank. We wish to obtain cooperation rights with your daughter."
"Others have been rebuffed by your daughter, but we believe that with you two intervening, success is guaranteed. After all, mother and daughter have a deep bond!"
"Of course, to facilitate your persuasion of your daughter, we are prepared to grant you a certain number of shares in the new company. This way, this cooperation will be equivalent to your daughter cooperating with you two as a family. How could she possibly refuse?"
Hearing this, Min Ziqiong's parents were both surprised and delighted.
They thought the tea and the watch were the most valuable gifts, but they never expected even more valuable ones!
The other party was willing to give them shares in the new company!
They had been paying close attention to Min Ziqiong's news for the past two days.
From her initial imprisonment, when they cursed her deservedly and were glad they had severed ties with her, to the later reversal of events, when Min Ziqiong and Shen Jing suddenly became popular, they were stunned and filled with regret.
In fact, they had been looking for an opportunity to mend their relationship with Min Ziqiong for a long time!
But they had been unable to find a suitable occasion.
Unexpectedly, an opportunity presented itself just when they were wishing for one!
So, what was there to hesitate about?
Thus, Min Ziqiong's parents unhesitatingly agreed, "No problem! This matter is on us!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Qiong is our biological daughter, and we raised her from childhood. Even if Xiao Qiong refuses anyone, she won't refuse us!"
"You just wait for the good news!"
