Chapter 466 Afraid That The Guru Would Snub
The most important Round Table Conference of the International Electronic Technology Summit was
about to begin. Eight important figures, including Braden, the president of the Summit, and the top ones
in the industry, took their seats.
The rest of the people, including Alina, the biggest sponsor of this meeting, could only listen in from the
big conference room outside, not qualified to sit in the Round Table Conference room.
According to the agreed time, the meeting should begin. Everyone wore the real-time translator and
counted down in their hearts.
"Five, four, three, two..."
When the countdown reached the last digit, the most significant start button of the Round Table
Conference was still not pressed.
This start button was a model of the earth at the center of the table. It was divided into eight modules,
representing the eight regions in the world that held important positions in the field of electronic
technology. The eight heads must press each of the modules at the same time to start it, any part
missing would not work.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Something has happened. This meeting cannot be held on time for the time
being."
As the president of the Electronics Technology Association and also the host of the summit, Frank
anxiously informed everyone through the broadcast.
"Well, something happened. What happened?"
In the conference room outside of the Round Table Conference room, people did not know what had
happened. They all whispered to and discussed with each other.
Only the eight members who participated in the Round Table Conference, no... to be more exact, only
seven members knew what had happened.
"As everyone can see, of the eight members participating in the Round Table Conference, only seven
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtare in place. One very important member hasn't arrived yet. The module he represents is second only
to the Stewart Group. Because of his absence, the start button is unable to light up and the Round
Table Conference is unable to start.”
Frank pointed apologetically at the empty seat next to Braden and said, "The one who is late is the new
president of The KCL Group. His contribution to the field of electronic technology is outstanding. There
is no doubt of that. The KCL Group has a super research and development team that always brings
surprises to us and leads the industry to higher peaks...
"This new president of the KCL Group, just like their previous president, Mr. Quintin, also has a
technical background. He has developed the famous G6 Chip. Once this chip comes out, it will change
the current pattern of the industry and even change the lifestyle of human beings."
Frank's introduction stirred the emotions of everyone. Everyone was more and more curious about who
the new president of The KCL Group was.
It was not a big deal for such a guru to be late.
What everyone was most afraid of was that this expert would snub it and never attend the meeting.
"Mr. Bradshaw, everyone in the industry who has some connections knows what you said just now. We
have waited for so long not to hear how
powerful the KCL Group is. We want to see the true face of The KCL Group's new president. We hope
he can lead the entire industry to a new height."
"Yes, that's right. We want to see the KCL Group's new president. As the president, you should show
your coordination and ask the new president to hurry up."
In the large conference room outside of the Round Table Conference room, everyone could no longer
hold back and began to stir up trouble, putting pressure on Frank.
Frank broke out in cold sweat. He said to the crowd, ’Everyone, calm down. I've already called The
KCL Group's new president. He seems to be busy and hasn't answered my call..."
"What? Frank, Can you do something? As the president of the Electronics Technology Association, you
can't even coordinate. Step down right now!"
"That's right. The one who should be invited doesn't come. The two that shouldn't be invited are
present. Such a useless president should have long stepped down."
Frank couldn't bear the pressure and was helpless. He kept calling the KCL Group's new president.
Among all the seats, Braden sat in the center. Compared to the restlessness of the others, he was calm
the whole time. His eyes were cold as if he had nothing to do with this summit that was the focus of the
world.
Sitting next to him was the expert, Higashino, who was in charge of the research and development of
East Asians.
Higashino's position in the field of electronic technology was only after Braden and the new president of
The KCL Group.
Higashino was very ambitious and always wanted to expand outwards. In addition to artificial
intelligence, his development direction also included electronic chips. Unfortunately, he was unable to
break through. So far, he has been unable to produce the corresponding technology products. Thus he
could only take the third position in the industry.
For ten consecutive years, Higashino tried to destroy the cooperation between the Stewart Group and
the KCL Group, wanting to replace the Stewart Group and achieve cooperation with The KCL Group.
As long as the Muraichi Group under Higashino's leadership could cooperate with the KCL Group, then
the Muraichi Group could surpass The KCL Group soon.
"Mr. Stewart, you look so calm. Could it be that you have already reached an agreement with the KCL
Group in private? Congratulations!"
Higashino smiled and nodded to Braden. His hypocrisy was revealed.
In fact, Higashino didn't know what relationship Braden had with the new president of The KCL Group.
He was just testing Braden.
"Not yet. I am not familiar with the new president of the KCL Group." Braden said expressionlessly.
His lips only moved slightly.
"What, aren't you familiar with each other?"
When Higashino heard this, his eyes lit up. While he had just said that he wanted to congratulate
Braden, now he almost laughed out loud. "In this way, everyone can compete fairly. KCL Group may
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcooperate with the Stewart Group, or with the Muraichi Group, or even with all the groups present
today?"
"That sounds reasonable. If everyone wants to cooperate, as long as we show sincerity, there will be a
chance,"
Braden said honestly.
In the past, because of Braden's special relationship with Leon, the Stewart Group was KCL Group's
exclusive cooperation partner. Now that Leon had been replaced by the new president, Leon was not
sure if he could cooperate with The KCL Group successfully.
Before, Braden had asked Leon who the new president of the KCL Group was, but surprisingly, Leon
did not know.
So today, not only the others, but Braden was also very curious about this mysterious person.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How can this be? If the Muraichi Group cooperates with KCL Group, wouldn't it be a fatal
blow to the Stewart Group?"
Higashino smiled and said hypocritically, "Now the Stewart Group is plagued with all kinds of troubles.
A group of core research and development teams has left. What was worse, the investment companies
led by the Gilmore family also have the intention to withdraw their investment. If your most valued G6
smartphone project is lost again, the Stewart Group... I'm afraid it can only be declared bankrupt. We
are really worried about you.”
Braden sneered, "Mr. Muraichi, if you are so worried about us, why don't you give up on cooperating
with The KCL Group?"
"That won't do!"
Higashino's expression changed. "The Muraichi Group will never miss such a good opportunity.'
Frank finally got through to the president of the KCL Group on the phone, but there was a very strange
request.
"Well, well..."
Frank used the speaker microphone and said to Alina who was sitting in the conference room outside
the round table, "Ms. Gilmore, whether the new president of the KCL Group would attend and whether
our Round Table Conference can be smoothly held are up to you. Please!"
