Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Laka was somewhat reluctant to part with the machinery, but he obediently sat down. His first question was, “When can I take these treasures home?”

Tan Rou had some doubts that Laka was not there to visit her mall, but rather as a corporate spy, intending to steal their company’s secrets, and then return to his country to conduct research and advance their national science and technology.

However, science and technology are not something that just anyone can master; if they could be so easily grasped by a nation, Tan Rou and her team would not have needed to strive so hard in their research for many years. Although they had other countries as references, those nations would not hand over their core technologies. Without core technologies, all the imitation in the world would be futile; even if they sold the machinery to them, they would not be able to produce quality products.

Realizing this, Tan Rou no longer worried that Laka was there to steal secrets, because the real core secrets could not be stolen.

“Does Prince Rake really like these items?” Tan Rou asked.

Laka immediately nodded, “Yes, I’ve loved mechanical things since I was young, but my abilities are limited. No matter how much I study, I can’t understand how these machines are made, so I had to give up learning technology and turn to buying finished products with money.”

Tan Rou’s mouth twitched twice, thankfully Shang Jin and Hang Wei couldn’t understand Laka’s words, otherwise they would certainly be shocked by his flamboyant statements.

“That’s a really good method,” Tan Rou commented, “Simple and effective.”

Mr. Lin said, “Miss Rou, regarding the machinery purchase project, we need to discuss it further. I also took a tour just now, and I found that although there are many mechanical products here, not many are sold overseas. In my view, the products our company produces are completely capable of being sold internationally, not just domestically.”

Tan Rou understood Mr. Lin’s point, saying, “We are currently focusing on the domestic market, and as for the international market, we’ve only just started selling products there. Although we’ve made some profit, it’s very little, so we’re not in a hurry to expand the market.”

Tan Rou had originally wanted to quickly penetrate international markets. Last time Shang Jin and Lang Yue took their products overseas, they indeed attracted a lot of attention, and they also received some orders, but Tan Rou declined those orders.

TR company didn’t have a factory abroad yet, and producing products domestically before shipping them overseas was too costly, which greatly reduced TR company’s products’ competitiveness internationally, and was not conducive to the future development of TR company abroad.

“And as you know, each country has different voltage standards. If we want to sell our products overseas, we need to consider each country’s actual situation and then design suitable products,” Tan Rou said. “We have not had any trade dealings with Country J before, so if we want to cooperate, we need to start a new area just for them.”

Mr. Lin said very confidently, “Miss Rou, you surely won’t regret collaborating with Country J.”

Tan Rou hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Shang Jin, “Designer Shang, what do you think?”

Having listened for a long time, Shang Jin finally had the chance to speak; she said with a very determined tone, “As long as you want it, we can make the products, I guarantee there won’t be any problems!”

Mr. Lin smiled at Tan Rou, “Miss Rou, your employee seems to have much more confidence than you do.”

Tan Rou was not upset, she said indifferently, “Of course, after all, she is the chief designer of this project. If she’s not confident, what are we supposed to do with this new project?”

Shang Jin was stunned for a moment, then finally realized what Tan Rou had said, “Tan Rou… I mean, boss, are you really going to let me be in charge of this project?”

Tan Rou said, “Mhm, you have experience with international projects, so this new project is perfect for you. Do well, and I will increase your salary.”
