Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 708 - 386: Laying the Foundation
Cui Xiaoling seized the opportunity to bring up the past, "You said it’s a perfect match, so does that mean Xiao Ning is..."
"Hey, Xiao Er is also a perfect match." Jin Baogen smiled, "I know what you’re thinking, but from now on, let’s not bring it up again."
With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the house, "Bring my red-beaked companion over, the weather is getting warmer, it’s time for a new cage."
Cui Xiaoling couldn’t say more; after all, this was the path Meng Wanning chose for herself. She sighed slightly, "Alright, I’ll go get it."
In the car, Chen Cheng held Meng Wanning’s hand, "What’s wrong? Are you still unhappy?"
Meng Wanning shook her head, "No, I just don’t want to be apart from you."
As she spoke, she hugged Chen Cheng and leaned her head into his arms.
Chen Cheng wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "If the signing ceremony finishes early today, we can still have dinner together."
Meng Wanning knew Chen Cheng wouldn’t come to see her tonight. She nestled in his arms and said sullenly, "Dear, you must come back early."
"Alright," Chen Cheng kissed the top of her head, "I promise."
"Should I drop you off at the troupe or the theater?" he asked.
"Is there enough time?" Meng Wanning asked in return.
"Plenty of time, even if I’m busy, I have to make sure Wan Wan is taken care of first."
Meng Wanning smiled sweetly, "Then take me home first. I can go to the theater later by myself."
"Okay. Xiao Hai," Chen Cheng said to the front seat.
Chen Donghai responded, "Alright, Mr. Chen."
...
...
After dropping off Meng Wanning, Chen Cheng also arrived at the foundation laying site of "United Innovation."
The site of the foundation ceremony was festively decorated with flags flying and drums beating, creating a lively scene.
A red carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the foundation stone, with flower baskets lining both sides.
A banner above the platform proclaimed "Foundation Laying Ceremony of United Innovation Power Battery Co., Ltd. and Research Institute," and there were many attendees.
Besides the representatives from Chinalco High-Tech, Cao Yue, and Zhang Qiming, leaders such as the deputy mayor in charge of economic affairs were all present.
As soon as Chen Cheng got out of the car, he was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, the flashlights flickering, questions flooding in like waves.
He maintained a graceful smile, giving brief answers to a few questions, and then, escorted by Chen Donghai, he made his way through the crowd toward the guests who were waiting there.
"Chairman Chen, congratulations! United Innovation has a bright future!" Guo Huaian from Chinalco High-Tech was the first to extend his hand, warmly congratulating him.
"Director Guo, congratulations to you too." Chen Cheng grasped his hand firmly, "It’s also thanks to Chinalco High-Tech’s strong support. Without you, United Innovation wouldn’t have come this far so quickly."
"Chairman Chen, you’re too kind. It’s mutual benefit!"
After the pleasantries, Cao Yue also came over, "Xiao Chen, you did a great job with this."
"Brother Cao, thanks to your blessing." Chen Cheng quickly shook Cao Yue’s hand, his tone respectful, "Without you, there wouldn’t be United Innovation."
"Keep up the good work, I have faith in you."
"I will, Brother Cao."
Zhang Qiming also came over, looking very excited, "Chairman Chen, thank you for giving me this opportunity to shine. I will not let you down."
He tightly grasped Chen Cheng’s hand, a spark in his cloudy eyes, as if seeing his years of research about to become reality, full of excitement and joy.
Chen Cheng returned the handshake with sincerity, "Professor Zhang, you’re being too modest. It’s my honor to have you join United Innovation. I’ve always believed that your research will change the world, and United Innovation will be the best platform to realize your dreams."
"Great, great!" Zhang Qiming said "great" twice in a row.
"Xiao Chen, let me introduce someone to you." Cao Yue, as usual, was making introductions, "This is Zhao City’s Economic Director, Zhao Deming."
"Chairman Chen, congratulations."
Zhao Deming began, "The foundation of United Innovation marks an important step forward in our field of renewable energy. We will fully support it, creating the best environment for enterprise development."
Chen Cheng shook hands with him, "Thank you for the leadership’s support. United Innovation will certainly live up to expectations and strive to become a leader in the renewable energy sector, making greater contributions to Beijing’s economic development."
He paused and added, "We also hope to receive more support in talent introduction and policy assistance to jointly promote the vigorous development of Beijing’s renewable energy industry."
Zhao Demin nodded with a smile, "Of course, we will actively cooperate and provide all necessary support."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the host took the stage.
The host’s enthusiastic voice echoed throughout the venue: "Leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, the foundation laying ceremony of United Innovation Power Battery Co., Ltd. and Research Institute is now starting!"
The first to give a speech was Zhao Deming.
He stood at the podium with a smile, "Today, we gather together to witness the foundation of United Innovation Power Battery Co., Ltd. and Research Institute. On behalf of the city committee and municipal government, I extend my warm congratulations on the establishment of United Innovation!"
Zhao Demin’s speech was concise, focusing on the high importance given to developing the renewable energy industry and the support and expectations for the United Innovation project.
"The landing of the United Innovation project not only fills a gap in Beijing’s renewable energy battery sector but will also become a key engine driving our city’s economic transformation and upgrading.
We believe that through the efforts of all parties, United Innovation will surely thrive, become an industry leader, and make significant contributions to the economic development and technological innovation of Beijing!"
Next, Guo Huaian, the representative of Chinalco High-Tech, took the stage to speak.
"We at Chinalco High-Tech will spare no effort to provide the highest quality materials and technical support to United Innovation, jointly creating internationally competitive power battery products and driving the rapid development of China’s new energy vehicle industry!"
Then Zhang Qiming stepped onto the podium.
His appearance caused a small stir.
This scientist, renowned in the academic world, was visibly emotional, "As the Chief Scientist of United Innovation’s Research Institute, I feel incredibly honored and bear a great responsibility.
We will be dedicated to developing the most advanced power battery technology, overcoming industry bottlenecks, leading the industry’s development, and contributing to achieving the goal of sustainable, green development!"
Next, it was Cao Yue’s turn.
"Leaders, colleagues, friends, standing here today, I am filled with emotion.
The birth of United Innovation is like a massive stone thrown into the calm lake, destined to stir up waves in the field of renewable energy. Jing Qi Group has been closely monitoring the development trends of the renewable energy industry from the beginning. We realize that this is a key transformation for the future energy landscape."
"The partnership between Jing Qi and United Innovation is by no means accidental. We have seen the tremendous potential United Innovation displays in technical research and development, team building, and market planning.
In the future, Jing Qi Group will leverage its resources, operational experience, and extensive market channels in the energy sector to deeply integrate with United Innovation..."
"Moreover," Cao Yue said with determination, gesturing firmly, "We will join United Innovation in intensifying efforts to expand in both domestic and overseas markets.
By leveraging Jing Qi’s existing business network, we will bring United Innovation’s high-quality products and technology to the global market. We want the world to see China’s innovative capabilities and pioneering spirit in the renewable energy sector..."
Finally, it was Chen Cheng, who orchestrated this entire event, to take the stage.
"Now, let’s welcome Mr. Chen Cheng, founder of Dili Private Equity, to give a speech."
Among applause, Chen Cheng stepped onto the stage.
In the spotlight, he appeared particularly confident and poised. He calmly adjusted the microphone, elegantly looking around the audience, and began speaking in a steady voice: "Respected leaders, distinguished guests, ladies, and gentlemen, good morning everyone!"
He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd below, sincerely saying, "Today, we gather with excitement to witness the official foundation laying of United Innovation Power Battery Co., Ltd. and Research Institute.
This is a memorable day, marking the start of United Innovation, setting sail on a new journey!"
