Chapter 665: Chapter 665

Xu Hao smiled, "I naturally have my own ways. Even the internal news within Microhard Group can't be hidden from me."

"Chairman Xu, I know that Xu Liu Group is quite capable, but compared to a huge conglomerate like Microhard, a world-class multinational company, isn't it a bit insignificant?" Richard said bluntly, as this was not only a negotiation but also a decision that would determine his future.

It was very clear to Richard that he could never return to America. He had thought he'd be safer in Huaya, keeping a low profile so no one could find him, especially since Tiannan Province was more remote compared to most places in Huaya.

Yet, he hadn't expected that people from Microhard Group would still manage to find him and use such ruthless methods against him, something he had not anticipated at all.

Therefore, he truly needed to find a reliable backer now.

But, no matter how he looked at it, Xu Liu Group was far too inferior in strength compared to Microhard Group. They were simply not at the same level!

Richard continued, "Chairman Xu, if I join your group, it will undoubtedly bring great danger to you. People from Microhard Group will definitely not let me go, and your group could get dragged down as well. By then, your group might even be aggressively suppressed by them."

Upon hearing Richard speak this way, Xu Hao immediately laughed, "Professor Richard, do you know Jing Yuanfan?"

"Of course I know! That young man is very promising. If I were to teach him all I know, he'd surely become a leading internet authority in the world."

Richard praised Jing Yuanfan without stinginess, yet with a tone of regret, he said, "It's a pity that his brilliance is too dazzling, leading to him being secretly sabotaged by people from Microhard Group when he participated in a competition in America. They even blacklisted him, making it very difficult for him to find a company that would accept him."

"Then do you know that Jing Yuanfan is now working in my group?" Xu Hao said with a faint smile.

"What? Jing Yuanfan is actually working at your company?! How is this possible! Jing Yuanfan was blacklisted by several American internet giants. Any company that hires him would face their fierce revenge!" Richard said, extremely shocked. He couldn't believe that Xu Hao actually dared to hire Jing Yuanfan!

This was tantamount to opposing several internet giants. With their overbearing characters, once they learned the news, they would definitely launch a crazy revenge.

Xu Hao smiled, "Of course it's true. I presume you know what he looks like. I will have him come and talk to you face-to-face."

"Really? If he comes and tells me himself, I will completely believe it," Professor Richard said very seriously.

Xu Hao didn't mind. The importance of Professor Richard was self-evident. Attracting someone with such formidable computing skills was worth spending some time.

Soon, Jing Yuanfan was brought over. As he walked into the room, he immediately said in surprise, "Consultant Richard, you are really here! I thought Chairman Xu was joking with me."

Although he preferred to call Xu Hao "Young Master Xu" in private, he had to be more formal in front of others.

Richard had already gotten off the hospital bed. Seeing that it really was Jing Yuanfan, he exclaimed, "I originally thought Chairman Xu was deceiving me, but it turns out to be true. It seems you really have joined Chairman Xu's group."

"Yes, Chairman Xu personally recruited me and offered a generous compensation. He was willing to take on all the pressure, so naturally, I had to join."

Jing Yuanfan said proudly, "But it was only after joining Chairman Xu's company that I discovered that working can actually be a very enjoyable thing. In Chairman Xu's company, you don't need to worry too much; you just need to focus on doing research." Spot an error? Visit the original post on M&VLEMPY&R.

"Chairman Xu provides ample funding. You don't need to worry about funds at all. Just yesterday, under Chairman Xu's directive, I spent a total of thirty billion Mi Coins to acquire America's DUB company."

"DUB company?" Richard said in surprise, "No way, that company indeed went bankrupt, which means its actual value is only about ten billion Mi Coins. Did you really spend thirty billion Mi Coins to acquire it? Besides, doesn't the Xu Liu Group's assets amount to only several hundred billion Huaya Currency? Where did Chairman Xu get two hundred billion Huaya Currency?"

"Ha ha! Professor Richard, you really don't know how rich Chairman Xu is! His wealth is beyond our imagination!"

Jing Yuanfan laughed, "At first I also didn't expect to spend so much money. I was quite hesitant since fifteen billion Mi Coins was already the theoretical limit."

Richard nodded. This was the same as his estimate. Fifteen billion Mi Coins was indeed the limit value of DUB company.
