CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 197: LOFTY AMBITIONS!

This is usually the sense of pride experienced only by employees of those legendary large corporations. Ordinary large and small companies do not have this situation. It’s not just about getting by; the work attitude has always been remarkable. When it comes to time-wasting idleness, people first think of a lot of work. If you don’t slack off and work hard, the efficiency is absolutely top-notch, and the crazy work ethic and passion for one’s job are what every company desires in talent.

But they are rare.

Even rarer is the employee who is proud to be part of the company on the basis of loving their work, who has a sense of honor.

Such companies are extremely, extremely rare...

Zhang Manlin keenly noticed this. Seeing the enthusiasm in the employees’ eyes, she felt more than a little joy in her heart. As a boss, this situation was, of course, the most gratifying thing for her —! Zhang Manlin couldn’t help but think back to a long time ago, when she was the CEO of other companies. In those companies, during working hours, there was all kinds of laziness — secretly watching videos, secretly playing on phones, and even secretly playing games! Out of sheer anger, employees would be reprimanded, and they would even smile indifferently, with not a trace of regret or remorse! Even looking back with a provoking gaze!

At that time, Zhang Manlin remembered this employee. On her second patrol, when she saw him playing games again, she was ready to give up on someone who did not work hard and came to the company to play games. However, as a president, she faced unimaginable resistance in firing an insignificant employee! This employee was a relative of a major director and had an exceptional good relationship with several directors of the company. To embarrass him equated to embarrassing those directors and the major director!

In the end, the matter passed by, and the staff continued to play games — the incident made Zhang Manlin immediately feel that there was no saving the company, to be honest. Having just graduated, she never thought that there would be such employees in the company; it was really shocking!

The subsequent few jobs, each company had issues, nearly driving her to despair.

Later, she prepared to start her own business and unexpectedly received an invitation from Jiang Cheng. Coming here, it startled her when the young boss joked with her that the company was not yet established, and there were no employees, and he was already recruiting her as the CEO?? That’s not how jokes work...

However, Jiang Cheng still offered conditions she couldn’t refuse, bringing out the Virtual Reality Device. She was quickly persuaded! The following days were tough, taking care of various company issues from morning till night, nearly driving her to a mental breakdown!

But inside the company, everything big and small was under her control — she was comfortable knowing no one had ever left work, much less played games.

A president should have the president’s authority!

She received these things from Jiang Cheng, and of course, she managed the company well for him.

For the sake of the company’s future, she worked tirelessly, tirelessly, tirelessly, and finally, the company became world-renowned!

Of course!

Zhang Manlin knew he could do these things for anyone, not necessarily her, and even without her, others could have, with Jiang Cheng’s technology, the unbelievable Virtual Reality System, and his background, developed his career to this point.

However, seeing the company’s development to this stage and gaining global attention, she still felt a deep sense of pride!

But because she understood that what she did wasn’t the core element, almost anyone like her could make instant sales of a hundred billion, breaking the fastest sales record in human history, she knew she must continue working hard.

Cosmic Umbrella Technology is setting sail.

Stopping now? Too early, too early!

Looking at Wang Nan beside her, at this moment, Wang Nan, completely stunned by the number of a hundred billion, was still shocked from the bottom of his heart, even though it was expected! Less than a second, a hundred billion! How exaggerated! Truly magical...

Wang Nan was directly overwhelmed and hadn’t recovered!

Zhang Manlin laughed and said, "Wake up!"

"Um, okay!" Wang Nan nodded.

Zhang Manlin nodded and said, "For our company today, a hundred billion dollars is nothing."

"Why?" Wang Nan asked unconsciously.

"Of course, it’s just a pile of numbers. No matter how much money we have, it’s just a pile of numbers. A hundred billion, it’s only the beginning!" Zhang Manlin quickly realized the company’s current status. Since Jiang Cheng returned, Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company was on a different level than ordinary companies. She began to think, think, and think, broadening her horizons! She must not limit herself to the current small achievements!

After continuous thinking, Zhang Manlin finally realized that he should not be confined to this small cage but should fly like an eagle to a broader sky! Looking to the future!

Now, Cosmic Umbrella Company has been the master of money for a long time! There should be bigger pursuits!

Frankly, at that moment, Zhang Manlin realized the meaning behind Jiang Cheng’s careless words when he first said them.

Jiang Cheng once said to her, "To be honest, I don’t care how much money I make. What if I become the richest person in the world? That’s not my goal, making money is just a side job — the goal should be a bit more long-term!"

At the time, Zhang Manlin was very confused!

She didn’t understand what Jiang Cheng meant by that. He didn’t care about making money, so why start a company?

Now that we have a company, isn’t our goal to be the richest person in the world?

Goals should be set for long-term objectives — what are long-term goals?

Back then, Zhang Manlin didn’t understand what Jiang Cheng was saying, although she had some guesses, he wasn’t sure at all.

Then Jiang Cheng opened Zhang Manlin’s eyes, fully opened her eyes before she could realize one thing.

Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company truly existed!

Money was just a pile of numbers to them; the real goal was to change the world!

Yes — although saying it directly seems a bit like the common problem of people from Hua Country, what does it mean to change the world, and how can you change the world?

But now, with a bigger vision, Cosmic Umbrella Technology is no longer a problem.

As the name Cosmic Umbrella implies — the cosmos and the umbrella!

This was Jiang Cheng’s original goal right here.

After all, the big picture is very important.

Wang Nan didn’t understand what Zhang Manlin wanted to express.

However, it is believed that in the future, she too will understand this point.

..................

Cosmic Umbrella Company quickly reported that ten thousand Virtual Reality Devices were sold out in one second.

Jiang Cheng heard the news, and suddenly smiled.

"As expected."

A long time ago, the number of people who were eligible to register on the official website had long exceeded ten thousand, and even several times ten thousand, so such a situation was completely reasonable!

It was a matter Jiang Cheng anticipated.

However, this kind of news still surprised the two sisters beside him!
