Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 154 What’s the Formula Problem

"You’re Professor Wang Bo from the chemistry department, right? Come in and we’ll talk." Lin Feng recognized him at a glance as the leading scientist of the chemistry department, Professor Wang Bo. However, he felt extremely surprised, what were they doing here so early in the morning?

"Yes, yes!" Wang Bo didn’t bother with formalities. His mind was still in an extremely excited state. Seeing Lin Feng filled him with immense joy. Upon hearing Lin Feng’s invitation, he eagerly followed Lin Feng into the villa with his legal advisor in tow.

"Lin Feng, I’ve just returned from Germany. The Munich Laboratory has evaluated your formula, and do you know, the world’s top chemists are saying your formula is groundbreaking, far surpassing similar products. You have no idea what a sensation your formula has caused abroad. Because of it, I almost didn’t make it back!" As soon as Wang Bo sat down, he eagerly told Lin Feng this tremendous news. Ever since he heard it, he had been too excited to sleep properly, and he hoped Lin Feng would be just as thrilled to hear it.

I had always thought this formula would be extraordinary and might achieve great success domestically, but it wasn’t until it was evaluated by the world-class Munich Chemistry Laboratory that I realized I had greatly underestimated the potential of this formula. This wasn’t just what I had originally thought. The formula already represented the pinnacle of the world’s standards. To say it candidly, it was enough to dominate the entire domain with just this one product. Think about it, it’s enough to drive one mad.

What kind of mind does Lin Feng have to come up with such a powerful formula? If he could help me develop it, I’m confident I could sell my brand all over the world!

"Oh? Is it that impressive?" Lin Feng also felt surprised. A formula he had casually concocted had caused such a big stir?

"Absolutely! At that time, the Munich Laboratory was completely astounded, and the merchants who heard about it rushed to bid for your formula, offering up to 5 billion! Can you grasp what that means? Just one formula was valued at 5 billion. If this goes into full production, imagine the benefits it could bring!" As Wang Bo spoke of the economic value the formula could generate, his eyes shone with excitement. If it went into production, it could create immense value, not only bringing his chemical plant back to life but also establishing the Daily Chemical Group. If he could officially acquire Lin Feng’s formula for his company, all of this would become real.

However, getting Lin Feng’s approval to use the formula was no simple task. Lin Feng’s indifference to the offer of a 5% shareholding as compensation showed that money wasn’t very important to him. Winning the approval of someone like him wasn’t as simple as promising benefits. That’s why he disclosed the formula’s valuation of 5 billion—to demonstrate the sincerity of his wish to partner with Lin Feng. Only by being open and sincere could he win the favor of such a genius and possibly gain Lin Feng’s approval.

If I could collaborate with Lin Feng, that would be even better. A casually created formula of his caused such a stir; if he were to focus solely on research and development, I can’t even begin to imagine the potential! But these are thoughts I can only entertain in my head. How could someone like him commit to the tedious process of research and development? If that were the case, he would have joined my company long ago, and I wouldn’t have had to wait until today!

However, it truly is a waste for a super-genius like Lin Feng not to engage in research work. For him to simply handle logistics in a school—this is the ultimate waste of talent!

"Oh, so what do you mean by coming here today?" Lin Feng glanced at Wang Bo. It was just a formula, yet it had Professor Wang this excited. So what were they doing here so early in the morning?

"You’re the owner of the formula, so if I want to use it, I need your permission first. That’s why I brought my legal advisor. First, I would like to formally collaborate with you to develop the formula and put it into production; second, I want to make another effort to persuade you to join my chemical enterprise." Wang Bo clearly stated the real purpose of his visit: to form a formal collaboration with Lin Feng and to make another attempt to persuade Lin Feng to join, because he really couldn’t bear to see such a super-genius buried in logistics. If those world-class German businessmen knew that the inventor of the formula was still doing odd jobs, what would they think?

Now that I think about the first time I met Lin Feng, I still feel deeply moved. Even then, I sensed Lin Feng was no ordinary person. How could an average person create such an impressive formula? Even a genius might not be able to do it, yet he did it with ease, which shows what? This indicates that the formula wasn’t anything of significant importance to Lin Feng!

Moreover, Lin Feng had a calm and composed demeanor not common in young people, which could only come from special training, a trait only those in high positions possess. He declined the offer of a 5% shareholding with such composure, something not just anyone could do, further highlighting Lin Feng’s uniqueness.

Who could resist the temptation to rope in such a person, and who wouldn’t want to pull him into their own trench?

"This matter... Joining your enterprise is out of the question, but we can discuss collaborating on the development of the formula." Lin Feng was actually ready to leave because he had made plans to go out with two campus beauties the day before. He didn’t want to be late and impolite, but no one expected Wang Bo to show up at his doorstep first thing in the morning. Checking his watch impatiently, moreover, he had no interest or time to continue discussing business matters.

"Son, do we have visitors?" Just then, Zhang Lan’s voice came from upstairs. She had just heard someone knocking at the door and was wondering who would come so early, so she came down to check.

"That’s perfect. You all can discuss the matter of the collaboration with my mom; she will represent me in full!" Lin Feng was still considering how to broach the subject with Wang Bo when his mother, Zhang Lan, came downstairs. It was an eye-opener for Lin Feng. Yes, his mother was a veteran in business, and leaving this purely business negotiation to her would be much better. Plus, it would give him the opportunity to go and meet Mao Rongrong and the others.

"Mom, this is Professor Wang Bo. You two can discuss the specifics. I need to run some errands." As he saw his mother approaching, Lin Feng got up, briefly introduced Wang Bo, and then prepared to get dressed and leave. Time was truly running short, and he couldn’t delay any longer.

"Oh, okay, be careful out there." Zhang Lan could tell from the look on her son’s face that he really had to leave; otherwise, he wouldn’t have delegated this task to her. But who were these two, and what was with a professor? What was the matter they wanted to discuss?

"Okay, I’m heading out." After that, Lin Feng opened the door, stepped out of the villa, and then drove away.

"Lin Feng, wait, don’t leave yet!" Wang Bo hurriedly tried to stop Lin Feng, but Lin Feng never looked back and just walked away.

What! He left? Just like that!

Wang Bo was momentarily stunned. This was about a formula worth 5 billion! 5 billion! Anyone would have thought it through and had a serious discussion, but Lin Feng had just left. How could this be? Did he not understand what Wang Bo meant? For such a big deal, how could he just walk away so casually!

Wang Bo had investigated Lin Feng’s family background in the past. Lin Feng’s family used to be wealthy, but after Lin Feng’s disappearance, things had changed and now looked like this. Considering the modest villa, they hardly seemed like a rich and noble family anymore. Although Lin Feng used to be a wealthy young master, that was no longer the case; his family had fallen on hard times, and he was merely a college staff member. Yet, he was so dismissive of a formula worth 5 billion—unbelievable! Even the largest international corporations wouldn’t remain so calm facing such a formula. Wang Bo just couldn’t fathom what Lin Feng was thinking!

Moreover, if the formula were to go into production later, it would generate profits in the tens of billions. These were profits in the tens of billions we’re talking about! The idea was staggering—renowned companies from abroad were salivating over this formula, wishing they could have kept Wang Bo in Munich indefinitely. It had been a struggle to make it back, and the first thing he did upon landing was to come here to discuss the formula with Lin Feng, only to have Lin Feng greet him and leave without a second thought, pushing him off on his mother. What did that mean? What did the formula have to do with his mother?

Seeing that Lin Feng had indeed disappeared, Wang Bo finally snapped out of it. Though Lin Feng had left, the negotiations still had to continue.

"Lin Feng! Ah, he left so quickly! Hello, Ms. Zhang, I am Wang Bo. Shall we go inside and continue discussing Lin Feng’s formula?" Seeing that Lin Feng had granted his mother, Zhang Lan, full authority to discuss the collaboration, Wang Bo also prepared seriously to negotiate the details with her.

"Sure, let’s talk inside." Zhang Lan, noticing her son had left and hearing Wang Bo’s words, knew it was time to get down to business. Since her son had entrusted her with this task, she would have to do it well.

The two entered the villa one after the other, ready to discuss the specifics of their partnership.

"Professor Wang, what’s this about a formula?" As soon as she sat down on the sofa, Zhang Lan got straight to the point, asking Wang Bo. Since her son had left in such a hurry and she didn’t know anything, and Wang Bo had mentioned Lin Feng’s formula upon entering, she needed to understand what was going on!

"This is a chemical formula invented by Lin Feng that has been evaluated at the Munich Laboratory. The formula is already worth 5 billion, and once it’s in production, it will generate profits of tens of billions." Wang Bo had to show complete sincerity if he was to cooperate with Lin Feng, so he handed over the translated evaluation report to Zhang Lan, encouraging her to take a good, careful look.
