Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2416 - 1804: Enduring for Now

Bai Xiaosheng learned from Hou Yuncheng that the rare earth deal with another company had also failed, astonishingly, it was snatched by Mr. Brown!

Upon hearing this news, even Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but be taken aback, and then he frowned.

Mr. Brown was clearly targeting him this time!

On one hand, he was made to chase a phantom, waiting fruitlessly for a significant portion of the day.

On the other hand, Mr. Brown went to a different rare earth company and secured the business.

This was a blatant message to Bai Xiaosheng: Mr. Brown was deeply displeased with him for investigating those companies without prior consultation. It was a deliberate act of retaliation.

Observing Bai Xiaosheng lost in thought, his brows knit together, Hou Yuncheng and Jia Chengshan exchanged knowing glances.

Both men understood the implications of this development. Considering Bai Xiaosheng had previously mentioned to Hou Yuncheng the possibility of having offended Mr. Brown within their own group, the root of the issue was quite clear.

Hou Yuncheng immediately placed a hand on Bai Xiaosheng's shoulder, offering words of comfort. "It's alright, Sheng. You don't need to dwell on this too much. In business, success or failure often hinges on interests. If another party offered better terms than we could, it's only natural for the deal to go their way. Furthermore, for a deal of this magnitude, Mr. Brown wouldn't act rashly. It likely has little to do with you personally, so don't overthink it!"

Hou Yuncheng harbored a concern that Bai Xiaosheng might, in his frustration, provoke conflict with colleagues, which would be detrimental.

"Indeed, Mr. Bai," Jia Chengshan chimed in supportively. "Even without partnering with those two companies, we have collaborations with three state-owned enterprises in Xisuli, which is more than sufficient. Once our joint ventures flourish and generate profits daily, perhaps those two companies will come seeking us out themselves."

Bai Xiaosheng regained his composure, offering a smile to the two men.

"Thank you both, Director Hou and Mr. Jia, for your concern. I am quite alright. If such a minor matter could truly trouble me, then I, Bai Xiaosheng, would indeed be a failure!"

Witnessing Bai Xiaosheng's calm demeanor and the return of his normal expression, Hou Yuncheng and Jia Chengshan couldn't help but nod approvingly in their hearts.

Those capable of managing their emotions are destined for great achievements.

Having been associated with Hou Yuncheng for some time, Jia Chengshan took his leave shortly after Bai Xiaosheng's arrival.

Hou Yuncheng engaged in a few more pleasantries before personally escorting him to the door.

Bai Xiaosheng also bid farewell to Jia Chengshan.

After Jia Chengshan's departure, Hou Yuncheng invited Bai Xiaosheng to the sofa and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Sheng, regarding those two companies, you needn't trouble yourself further or worry about them," Hou Yuncheng stated to Bai Xiaosheng. "In Xisuli, there are numerous other promising industries eager to collaborate with us, comprising a total of thirty-five companies. Today, in your absence, we’ve already met with a portion of them. I will furnish you with a list of information later, and if you find it appealing, I can arrange for a delegation to accompany you for further assessment tomorrow."

Hou Yuncheng displayed no annoyance towards Bai Xiaosheng for the disruption in rare earth negotiations caused by his clash with Mr. Brown; instead, he showed genuine consideration.

This profound gesture deeply touched Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, retrieving the materials he had meticulously compiled and edited on his notebook during the journey back and subsequently printed at his residence. He then presented them to Hou Yuncheng.

"Director Hou, my visit to the 'Xuanjin' company was not entirely without benefit, as I also conducted an inspection," Bai Xiaosheng remarked with a smile.

Hou Yuncheng accepted the documents from Bai Xiaosheng with a curious expression. A cursory glance was enough to fill his eyes with growing astonishment.

"During my inspection of 'Xuanjin' company, I've documented my observations concerning their new material development trajectories, the application and enhancement of novel processes, and various other facets. I believe this information will prove invaluable for domestic companies during their negotiations with those three state-owned rare earth enterprises in Xisuli, and in fostering deeper cooperation while aligning our domestic enterprises with international standards," Bai Xiaosheng elaborated.

"Extremely helpful!" Hou Yuncheng exclaimed, his gaze locked onto the pages without looking up.

Coincidentally, the subsequent phase of their work involved this very domain, and Hou Yuncheng himself was tasked with its oversight, having recently undertaken a thorough "study" of the relevant subject matter.

Hou Yuncheng's meticulous nature meant his "study" went beyond a superficial understanding, involving deep and careful consideration.

Thus, upon reviewing Bai Xiaosheng's contribution, Hou Yuncheng was instantly captivated.

While our domestic rare earth development is top-tier globally, we still need to learn from others, continuously absorbing their strengths to innovate and improve.

Consequently, Bai Xiaosheng's 'inspection summary' holds immense value!

"This is exceptionally thoughtful!" Hou Yuncheng couldn't help but exclaim with praise.

Bai Xiaosheng offered a smile as he met Hou Yuncheng's gaze.

Having one's efforts acknowledged brings a certain satisfaction.

To be precise, the compilation by Bai Xiaosheng did not contain commercial secrets. The truly sensitive details were withheld from him by the person in charge of 'Xuanjin' company, despite Bai Xiaosheng's senior position within the group.

After all, they represented different regions, not a unified entity.

Furthermore, the information presented by 'Xuanjin' company had also been shared with some of their counterparts in Europe and America.

Although Bai Xiaosheng observed highly advanced developments, he fully leveraged Red Lotus’s formidable search capabilities to extrapolate and refine the data. He then pinpointed which global companies could supply necessary machinery and from whom specific technologies could be sourced through partnerships, consolidating all this intelligence into the document presented to Hou Yuncheng.
