Ch. 1021..1025: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1021-1025
Chapter 1021
"Yes, I'm preparing for mass production now, but raw material is a problem."
Talking about raw materials these days gave Martina headache.
"Now, raw materials are really hard to find, but the good thing is that I have no shortage of stock.So this is not a problem for me." Jared looked at Martin with confidence.
"Really? That's great.Mr.Johnston, let me explain my product to you first."
Martin wanted to explain The Beacon to Jared so that he would understand and be interested before he could talk to him about cooperation.
"Okay."
"I developed the same product that Nicole has in her hand, and I think Nicole has already explained some of its features to you.So I won't talk about it here.Let's look at the other advantages of The Beacon.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм"
“The Beacon is an excellent first-aid medical device with many potential users.Hospitals, homes, outdoors, and all walks of life can use it.In terms of sales, I think its potential is limitless.Because of its speciality and effectiveness, it will largely avoid the painful cost of accidents.It is a new product worth recommending, a wonderful product.When I first developed The Beacon, which is in Nicole's hand, it was you and Mr.Riddle who helped me.I didn't pay at that time, but I will pay for it together with this payment.No matter what, I should thank you and Mr.Riddle.Since Mr.Riddle is not here today, I will toast you first."
Martin raised his glass to Jared.
Jared clinked glasses with him.
"You don't have to pay for the first batch of raw materials that I gave you.I have understood this product of yours, and I think it has great potential.Now you are just starting out.You need support in all aspects.If you don't mind, I can invest in The Beacon and help you open up the market."
Jared made his thoughts clear and simple.
"Really? Why would I mind? If you are willing to invest in us, that's really great."
Martin did not expect that Jared would be willing to invest in The Beacon, which was a boon to him as he was just starting out, and Jared would be his benefactor now.
"That's good that you don't mind.I heard from Nicole that you haven't held a launch event until now, have you?" Jared asked him.
"Yes, I was too busy with the factory and looking for suppliers, so I had to postpone the launch date," Martin said.
"I think we should set up a company.You just pick a name.You will be the majority shareholder, and I will take up the rest of the shares.We then divide the work into two parts.You handle product development and quality control, and I will send someone to take care of the rest of the things so that you can focus on R&D and do what you are good at.Do you think that's a suitable arrangement?"
These things were a piece of cake for Jared, and he easily divided things up in a simple and clear way.
"You are not only my benefactor but also an outstanding entrepreneur.To be honest, other than R&D, nothing else is what I am good at.With your arrangement, I feel everything is clear, and I can concentrate on R&D again."
"Thanks for the thoughtfulness.Why don’t we name the new company The Beacon Company?"
Martin looked at Jared as if asking his opinion.He was grateful to Jared because he would not have thought of these things otherwise.
"The Beacon Company is a good name,"Jared said.
"Since you also think it is a good idea, let's call it The Beacon Company then," Martin said.
Seeing that Jared was happy with the name, he approved it even more.
Jared suddenly became the second shareholder of The Beacon Company, and things were under his control, while Martin had his own company.
Jared's plan was a triple whammy: he founded The Beacon Company and became its shareholder, so Mr.Johnston Sr.would have nothing to say about it; Henry had no more excuse to make a fuss about the raw materials he had given Martin, and The Beacon's promising future was in his hands.
"I will send someone to set up The Beacon Company right away, arrange for the launch event, and if the raw materials are okay, I will send them to you tomorrow.The rest will wait until The Beacon rolls out of the factory." Jared told him clearly so that he would not be confused.
"Got it.You are efficient.It seems I really need to learn from you."
After today's exchange, Martin had a full new understanding of Jared.
In his mind, Jared was a high and mighty CEO, but today's encounter really made him know the real Jared.
Chapter 1022
"Martin, I got you such a great partner.How are you going to thank me?"
Nicole smiled and looked to Martin for credit.
"I will make your order our first priority." Martin looked at Nicole.
"Okay, that's what you said.I'll make a note of it."
Nicole looked at him with a serious face.
"Absolutely."
Martin then turned to Jared.
"What is the best location for our new company?" Martin knew nothing about this.
"I will have someone pick some better locations to send you for reference."
Jared could see that Martin really did not know much about this aspect of the business.
"If you have anything in the future, feel free to contact me.That is all we will talk about today."
Jared got up and prepared to leave.
"Take care, Mr.Johnston." Martin stood up to see Jared and Nicole off.
"Bye-bye, Nicole."
In the car, Nicole looked over at Jared and complimented him.
"You were awesome today."
"Awesome, what?" Jared looked at her nonchalantly.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"When you were telling Martin about setting up a company, I felt like you were glowing."
Nicole looked at Jared with adoration.
"Did I? I just arranged things as usual."
Jared was unimpressed.
"Show off," Nicole murmured.
Jared hugged her with a smile.
"Thanks for being the go-between.I will go with you to see your grandma tonight."
Nicole looked at Jared in surprise.
"Why do you suddenly want to accompany me to see my grandma?"
"Haven't you been there for days? Forget it since you don't want to."Jared was actually trying to avoid that soup at night.
"Let's go then since you have said it.Don't you go back on it!"
"Max, head straight to the ocean-view villa," Nicole instructed.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the ocean-view villa, and Nicole and Jared got out of the car in tandem.
"Grandma, we're here to see you."
Nicole walked into the living room and saw Mrs.Wallace Sr.watching TV on the couch.
"Nicole?"Mrs.Wallace Sr.looked back.
"Hello, Nicole, Mr.Johnston."Tia walked up to greet them.
"How is Grandma's health these days?" Nicole asked Tia.
"She is in pretty good health, eating and sleeping well,"Tia said with a smile.
"That is great.Tomorrow I want to take Grandma for a medical check-up, so don't let her eat or drink anything after nine o'clock tonight," Nicole said.
"Got it, Nicole."
After that, Nicole walked over to Mrs.Wallace Sr.
"I will take you to the hospital tomorrow for a physical examination, and you will not be allowed to eat or drink anything at nine o'clock this evening."
"What's the point of going to the hospital? I'm not sick"
Mrs.Wallace Sr.had never made a trip to the hospital, even once a year; she thought only people who were sick would go to the hospital.
"It is just a normal medical check-up.You can go without being sick.Just don't worry.I will go with you." Nicole reassured her.
"How are you doing, Jared?"
Mrs.Wallace Sr.did not continue talking to Nicole.She turned to look at Jared with concern.
"I'm great, Grandma.You look much better than the last time I saw you.Is it boring to be here?"
Jared looked at Mrs.Wallace Sr.
"It is not boring.Usually, Tia will walk me to the beach, where there are lots of beautiful shells.I even picked up some."
Chapter 1023
Jared smiled and nodded.
"Grandma, you stay here and keep watching TV while Jared and I take a stroll," Nicole said so that Mrs.Wallace Sr.would not think she had left.
"Okay, go ahead."
With that, Nicole and Jared headed to the rooftop.
"The view from the rooftop is still the best,"
Nicole said, facing the sea.
"You love it here?"
Jared looked over at her.
"Yeah.I like this place very much.Drinking coffee and embracing the sea breeze here is so relaxing.I enjoy living here." Nicole expressed her feelings.
"If you like it here, you can always stay here." Nicole gave him a look.
"It is easy for you to say. How can I bring myself to let you live in the villa alone?" Jared smiled and hugged her.
"So, you are doing this for me?"
"How about we move nearby, too?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Jared was willing to move to the beach for Nicole.
"Is that okay?"
Nicole looked at Jared with a surprised look on her face.
"What is not to like? Anything if you like it."
Jared looked at her fondly.
"You're so nice."
Nicole leaned against his chest.Nicole and Jared spent the afternoon on the rooftop in the sea breeze.
"Nicole, Mr.Johnston, you are not leaving tonight, are you?" Tia asked.
"Yeah.We will stay here tonight.It is more convenient for us to bring Grandma to the medical check-up tomorrow."
"What would you like for dinner tonight?" Tia asked again.
"The usual dishes will do."
Nicole did not like to get too extravagant and wasteful.It was just a meal.
Unnecessary to make it like the New Year's dinner.
"Okay, I will prepare it right away."
After dinner, Nicole and Jared were in the garden with Mrs.Wallace Sr.watering the flowers.
Nicole then suggested by saying, "Shall we go for a walk on the beach?"
"Yeah."
Jared had not taken a walk on the beach in so long, so much so that he had almost forgotten what it felt like to step in the sand.As the two walked hand in hand toward the beach, Jared looked out to sea
and asked, "Did you order many medical devices from Martin?"
"Yeah."
"You didn't order those devices for Zane's organization, did you?"
Jared wanted to be sure of what he thought.
"You are right.We need a device as good as The Beacon badly."
"Jared, please do me a favor: don't sell The Beacon to The Raven.If a product like The Beacon falls into their hands, I'm afraid there will be more places that will suffer harm."
This was a problem that Nicole had been worried about.
If The Beacon was placed in the hands of good people, it was a wonderful product for the benefit of the country and the people; if it fell into the wrong hands, it would become an aid of evil.
"It is not so easy.I can control who we sell to, but I have no control over who they will resell to."
Jared was telling the truth; there was nothing he could do about this.
"So, what should we do? We can't just do nothing, right?"
"There is another way: limit the sale of The Beacon to the domestic market only so that it might be safer.Even if there is a leakage, it would only be a small percentage."
Jared could only think of this solution for now.
"This seems to be the only solution now.We must also think of a better way.Otherwise, the domestic demand will be saturated within a few years, and the product will still have to be exported."
Nicole felt that not exporting was not the best solution and that there must be a better way.
"Don't worry about it.Just sit down with Martin some day and talk about it.Maybe he will have some ideas."
Jared reassured her.
"That is the only way to go.There are really no two ways about it."
While speaking, Nicole picked up a stone and threw it into the sea.
"Jared, have you ever played stone skipping?" Nicole looked over at him.
Chapter 1024
"What's stone skipping?"
Jared had never played it, so he did not understand what Nicole meant by that.Nicole picked up a rock and showed him.
"This is called stone skipping."
"Oh, I have never played that."
"You must have had a pretty boring childhood." Nicole mocked him.
"I didn't find it boring.Everyone was the same."
"Look how I do it."
Nicole demonstrated it to Jared.
"Did you see that?" Nicole asked as she looked back at him.
"That easy?" Jared saw it clearly and found no difficulty.
"Don't just talk.Try."
Nicole looked at him with a provocative look in her eyes.
"Then open your eyes."
Jared picked up a rock and approached the beach.He planted his feet in a firm stance and held the rock steady, then threw the rock across the water, and it bounced off the surface five or six times, surprising Nicole.
"Not as good as me, but it is not bad."
Nicole looked at Jared with a slight disappointment for failing to taunt him.
"Did you get anything out of the seminar you attended a while back?" Jared asked as it suddenly crossed his mind.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"Surely.I got to know a foreign friend who is so good you can't even imagine what he has developed."
Nicole looked at Jared with an impressed face.
Jared frowned, looking at Nicole, figuring that the person must have developed something not common in the market.
"Could it be some kind of high-tech gizmo again?"
"Not bad.It is pretty close.Try again, and I will see if you can guess."
Nicole wanted to test Jared's imagination.
"Are you testing me? Okay, then I will play along."
Jared sat down to look out to sea and think.
"A high-tech gizmo? It is a broad category, not easy to guess.Foreigners are more into novelty, so I guess it should be people- related."
Jared looked at Nicole after analyzing it.
"Yes, but the scope of this is so broad that I guess you won't be able to guess it for a while.Maybe I will tell you."
It was impressive of Jared to guess that it was people-related.Ever heard of manned flying cars?"
Nicole raised an eyebrow at him.
"Manned flying cars? Your foreign friend has developed a manned flying car?"
Jared looked at Nicole in shock.
This was something he had not heard of.He did not expect that foreign countries had already developed it, but only a few people knew about the concept domestically.
Jared could not help but be anxious and think he had to take some action now; he could not let foreigners take the market.
"Yeah, and I even went to his research center to view it.The thing completely changed my imagination.Just putting it there makes me curious.It is just wonderful."
Nicole recalled the manned flying car in awe.
"Can you tell me more about the manned flying car?"
Jared wanted to learn from Nicole about the other side's progress and strength.
Chapter 1025
"How should I describe it to you? It is a car that can fly in the sky and only take two people, but its appearance still looks cool.You know UFOs, right? It is similar to that."
Nicole could not fully describe the actual situation of the manned flying car with words, and only those who saw it could feel its charm.
From Nicole's brief description, Jared had captured some keywords.He figured that the man- flying car was only in the early stages of research and development and not very practical.
"I can feel how cool it is just by listening to what you say.Do you have any opinion about the manned flying car developed by foreigners?" Jared asked.
After all, Nicole had seen it with her own eyes and must have had a sense of what it was like.
"Appearance aside, from a practical point of view, it is still something nice to have, but that needs fine- tuning and improvement.Scott is optimistic about manned flying cars.During the seminar, he even announced the setting up of a manned flying car R & D team and invited me to take part.I'm in a dilemma." Nicole sighed helplessly.
As much as she was interested in manned flying cars, she knew nothing about R&D.
Scott was putting her in a difficult situation.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"Oh? Scott asked you to take part in the R&D of manned flying cars? "
Jared seemed to see an opportunity, his eyes brightening up.
"Well, what do you think I should do? How can I say no without offending him?" Nicole asked Jared for advice.
"That is easy don't say no."
Jared looked at her with a serious face, wondering why she wanted to turn down such a great opportunity that many people wanted to take part in but could not.
"Don't say no? Why?"
Nicole did not expect Jared to advise her in this way.
"I think this is a great opportunity.You should seize it." Jared told her seriously.
"I don't see this as a great opportunity.You should know I have more important things to do."
"Of course I know, but this R&D is just as important.No one in the country now recognizes the inevitability of manned flying cars, and if you can bring the technology that you have learned back to the country, it will open the minds and eyes of everyone and will be a pioneer of manned flying cars in the country.Then I can set up a business for you to produce manned flying cars."
Jared had seen all the future trends and even came up with a future plan.
"So you have long-term plans." Nicole looked at him with sly eyes.
"Do you still want to say no?" Jared looked her seriously in the eyes.
"Looks like I'm going to have to give it some serious thought now."
She then flashed Jared a knowing smile.
"I'm looking forward to your answer."
Jared took her hand and walked forward.
"I'm looking forward to it just as much.Let's go back."
"Okay."
Back at the villa, Mrs.Wallace Sr.was resting, and there was no sign of Tia.So Nicole brought Jared to her room.
"We will have to sleep here tonight, as the other rooms haven't been cleaned up." Nicole glanced at Jared.
"It is fine to sleep here."
Jared did not mind where he slept as long as Nicole was there with him.
"Why are you still standing there?"
Jared let out a wicked smile.
"I'm going to wash up.Don't you need to?"
"Of course I need to."
Jared walked with her into the washroom.
