Chapter 169: General Manager Meng, are you feeling uncomfortable again?

The Presidential Suite at the Raffles Beijing Hotel covers an area of 884 square meters per unit, with a nightly rate of 80,000 RMB.

Lin Dazhi sat in the study, examining the room, which was filled with a retro style combining Chinese and European elements, and leisurely sipped fragrant tea.

In the past, he wouldn't have even dared to imagine a presidential suite costing 80,000 yuan a night. But now, Lin Dazhi felt that staying here was no different from staying in a small hotel costing a few hundred yuan.

To know money, to understand money, to master money. This was a question Lin Dazhi had been pondering every day since he obtained the system. As he experienced more and more, his understanding and grasp of this issue became increasingly profound.

"Knock, knock, knock." A rhythmic sound of knocking rang out.

"Come in." Lin Dazhi leaned lazily against the wide, comfortable study chair and said in a low, magnetic voice.

The study door opened, and Meng Ruolan walked in, swaying her graceful figure and stepping with an aura of absolute authority.

Lin Dazhi put down the tablet in his hand and greeted her with a smile: "Has Meng rested well?"

Meng Ruolan sat leisurely on the small sofa opposite Lin Dazhi, keeping a distance of several meters from him. She lifted her delicate chin and said in a calm voice: "Thank you for your concern, General Manager Lin. I think we can talk about the cooperation now. What do you think of my previous terms?"

"Oh, the previous terms? If I remember correctly, you said you would invest two billion and take a percentage share," Lin Dazhi asked with a smile.

"That's right. General Manager Lin has a good memory. So, what have you decided? I've already had someone send over the electronic contract. If you think there are no issues, we can sign it now." As she spoke, Meng Ruolan took a tablet computer out of her bag.

Hearing her words, Lin Dazhi smiled and shook his head slowly, saying leisurely: "I think there is an issue—a big issue."

Meng Ruolan had originally thought Lin Dazhi had already agreed and had even opened the electronic contract, but upon hearing Lin Dazhi's words, her hand froze.

"What? Is General Manager Lin dissatisfied with these terms? I am very sincere. Your initial R&D investment was less than one billion in total, and I am offering two billion for only a sixty percent stake. Does General Manager Lin still feel my sincerity is insufficient? My company's business covers the three largest southern provinces in the national beauty industry; just relying on the channels alone can bring you unimaginably rich returns. If General Manager Lin doesn't believe me, you can go and look into the scale of my company," Meng Ruolan said with a confident look.

"Meng, don't be in such a hurry. Take a look at this first," Lin Dazhi pointed to the tablet on the table and said with a chuckle.

"Look at what?" Meng Ruolan asked, feeling somewhat strange.

"Come over and look. You'll know once you see it," Lin Dazhi said with a chuckle, pointing at the tablet on the table.

A flash of obvious displeasure crossed Meng Ruolan's face. The confidence exuded by the man before her in every gesture, along with that aura of controlling the entire situation, made her, who was accustomed to mastering the situation, feel very uncomfortable.

Especially with Lin Dazhi asking her to go over, Meng Ruolan felt an instinctive resistance.

Her intuition told her that this man was dangerous and she had to stay away from him.

But the huge temptation of the Time Reversal Instrument technology made her stand up involuntarily and walk toward Lin Dazhi.

Meng Ruolan walked the few meters very carefully. She kept her head down, trying her best not to look at Lin Dazhi. But when she reached the desk and picked up the tablet, her gaze inadvertently swept under the desk.

As a result, she saw Lin Dazhi's thighs spread quite casually. Although he was wearing casual shorts, the strong muscles exposed were still extremely visually impactful!

As if possessed, Meng Ruolan's gaze swept upward again.

With just one glance, that ferocious outline symbolizing power slammed fiercely into her line of sight.

"Bang!"

In an instant, Meng Ruolan felt as if her entire body had been struck to the ground by a giant force; the estrogen in her body secreted wildly, and her legs went so soft she almost couldn't stand!

Meng Ruolan held onto the desk and bit her tongue hard; the intense pain allowed her to regain a bit of her sanity for the moment.

The next moment, she grabbed the tablet and fled back to the sofa as if escaping.

She instinctively chose the furthest distance from Lin Dazhi, as if this could allow her to maintain a bit of a sense of security.

"Meng, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Lin Dazhi asked with concern.

"I'm fine, don't speak!" Hearing the man's low and magnetic voice, Meng Ruolan almost broke down again.

She was terrified that if she heard this man's voice again, she would completely collapse and do something shameful. If that really happened, she, the dignified Beauty Queen of Nan Province, would completely lose all face! If word got out, she would likely be the laughingstock of the entire upper class of Nan Province!

"Alright," Lin Dazhi said with a smile, then picked up the fragrant tea and sipped it slowly.

Meng Ruolan regained a bit of composure and then carefully looked at the document on the tablet in front of her.

This was a market analysis report.

It analyzed the market scale and prospects of the Time Reversal Instrument in detail.

As Meng Ruolan read, Lin Dazhi drank his tea leisurely and said, seemingly nonchalantly: "Meng, currently, the global beauty market scale has exceeded 500 billion USD and is continuing to grow at a rate of about 5% per year. Assuming the Time Reversal Instrument can occupy 5%-10% of the high-end technology product share in the beauty market within the next 5-10 years, its potential sales are expected to reach 25-50 billion USD."

"In addition, in the medical field, the global market scale for skin-related disease diagnosis and treatment is about 20-30 billion USD. If the Time Reversal Instrument can be expanded to the field of auxiliary diagnosis and treatment effect monitoring for skin diseases and occupy a 10%-15% market share, this part of the potential market scale could reach 2-4.5 billion USD. Taken together, the potential market scale of the Time Reversal Instrument could reach tens of billions of USD."

"Through big data analysis, in the near future, the market scale of the Time Reversal Instrument is expected to achieve rapid growth. With the development of product promotion and marketing activities, its annual sales growth rate is expected to exceed 30%. In the next 1-2 years, sales are expected to break through 100 million USD."

"In terms of cooperation models, by cooperating with high-quality agents in various regions and expanding online e-commerce platforms, it is expected to increase sales channels by about 20-30%."

"From the medium term, with technological improvements and cost reductions, the price of the Time Reversal Instrument will be more competitive. If the price can be reduced by 20%-30%, its market coverage will further expand. It is expected that within 3-5 years, its market share in the beauty market will likely increase to 3%-5%, and sales could reach 15-25 billion USD. At the same time, its application in the medical field will also gradually mature, and it is expected to obtain sales of about 1-2 billion USD."

"In the long term, with the improvement of the Time Reversal Instrument's brand awareness and the stabilization of market share, its annual sales are expected to break through 50 billion USD. Furthermore, with the further development of the international market, especially the rise of emerging economy markets, its global market share will further expand..."
