The next day, the Deputy Governor of Nancheng Branch of Xiajing Bank personally visited Lincoln to discuss loan matters.

In just an hour, the deputy governor had completed the loan discussion and was escorted out by Lincoln, together with the customer manager.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to shake Lincoln’s hand tightly, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Lincoln, with a polite business smile, shook his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. We help each other, help each other! ”

Seeing this, the customer manager was full of question marks. After walking some distance, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “Governor, are you really giving him a 500 million interest-free loan just like that?”

The deputy governor, looking at his questioning subordinate, recalled the experience Lincoln gave him with the virtual reality device – seeing the scenery in the sand sea and feeling the realness of sand brushing past his face.

Instead of answering directly, he said, “I wish I could approve more for him, but unfortunately, that’s the maximum limit, Have you ever thought about how many units this device could sell?”

“The best-selling virtual device on the market is NetDragon’s ‘Flying Dragon Series’. The latest model ‘Flying Dragon 3rd Generation’ has sold 3-3 million units so far. Considering the significant innovation in Lincoln’s device, it could potentially capture a large share of the market from other manufacturers, maybe even tens of millions of units?”

This customer manager had already guessed as boldly as possible since his boss had clearly shown an optimistic outlook.

But the deputy governor still shook his head disappointedly, “Just wait and see, this number will far exceed your imagination. Once someone experiences it, no one can resist it!

Moreover, he’s a no-nonsense person. To keep things simple, he’s decided to open his corporate account with our bank, so compared to the future cash flow, 500 million is just a drop in the bucket!”

The deputy governor pointed at his subordinate, ‘You should learn to have a long-term vision, don’t just focus on current business.”

After seeing off the bank officials, Lincoln calmly started cooking.

He had thought about his negotiation strategy yesterday. He didn’t know how to negotiate, but the other party didn’t know the technology, at least not the cutting-edge technology.

But negotiations are about pulling the other party into your own field, so he dragged the deputy governor directly to wear the headband and brought him into the sand sea of “Traveler of the Wind”.

He simply told him: this groundbreaking technology can’t be imitated, there are no competitors, and the market is limitless.

And finally added: My company will open its corporate account at your bank.

Done!

Fulfilling five small goals was that simple.

After finishing his meal, he spent the whole afternoon doing nothing, enjoying a tour of his new house, and took a long, long nap.

When he woke up again, the sun was almost setting.

He felt that the fatigue accumulated during the week had finally disappeared, and he could start the next phase of work.

Recruitment!

Of course, that sounded full of vigor, but in reality, he didn’t plan to recruit too many people, at least not at this stage.

The waves caused by the virtual reality device had fermented overnight and continued throughout the day. As of now, Lincoln’s Spiritual Rhinoceros account had over 17 million followers, reaching the level of a top influencer.

In other words, he had become a phenomenal internet celebrity in less than 24 hours.

“In the domestic university communication courses, they should add a lesson specifically to discuss my popularity case.”

After being sarcastic about himself, he began typing up the recruitment information and clicked send.

[We’re Hiring!

Still thinking about the studio’s name, but we need to recruit first! If I don’t get help soon, I’ll be too busy!

“Not bad, turning game testing duties into employee benefits, I am truly a shameless capitalist.”

He posted the message and before he had time to check the comments from the sand-sculpture netizens, the phone started ringing.

It was still Camille Victoria.

Lincoln was a little puzzled when he picked up the phone because previously she called every day to make sure he wasn’t too stressed or to comfort him.

But he didn’t need comforting now, did he?

The internet was full of praise for him. Those who had previously cursed at him had been showered with criticism until they autistically closed up. As for the pretending-to-be-dead NetDragon, the comment section was almost torn apart by netizens.

“Lincoln, can I play ‘Traveler of the Wind’ with your new employees? I’m so curious to know what I’ll see and what will happen next!”

Princess sounded more eager than usual, and it seemed she had been wanting to play but was too shy to disturb him. So she held back until she found an excuse, and called immediately, without wasting a second.

“Sure,” Lincoln readily agreed. “I’m planning to gather 10 people for testing anyway, both you and Jordan can come.”

“Ah, do you have enough equipment?”

“I asked someone to buy materials today, planning to make a few more by hand, and try to get up to 10 units so it’s more convenient for testing.”

“Then…” Camille Victoria hesitated a bit, but couldn’t resist her friend’s pitiful gaze, so she asked, “Can I bring another friend too? She’s a huge fan of yours and really wants to see the world of ‘Traveler of the Wind’ with her own eyes.”

Lincoln counted the people he had planned to invite and found that there were still some available spots, so he agreed, “No problem, but that’s the last spot. No more after that.”

“That’s enough! Thank you so much, Lincoln!” Princess had stopped calling him “Lin” and was now directly addressing him by his first name.

“Alright, come by tomorrow afternoon. I have to go shooting practice with Brother Jian in the morning.”

After hanging up, Lincoln thought, since he had already invited three people, he might as well invite the rest.

So he opened Spiritual Rhinoceros, sent out two more game testing invites, and held a lucky draw in his class group chat to pick a lucky person.

Finally, he knocked on the door next door and invited Yue Pengju, who refused him on the grounds of “needing to stay sober.”

After dealing with this matter, he quickly made dinner and went back to work on the equipment.

In his previous life, he was a lazy dog who loved slacking off at work, but ever since coming to this world, he felt as though workaholism was becoming the norm. And the more he did, the more motivated he became, never feeling uncomfortable.

Perhaps this was the difference between working for a capitalist and working for yourself?

No wonder the boss from his previous life enjoyed making them work overtime!

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he and Mavis began working on the equipment.

One of the two testing invites was sent to a gaming media outlet called ‘Game Base”. This media outlet started out as a magazine and had just recently transitioned online. Though it didn’t have many fans, it was relatively unbiased and objective in its coverage. f reeweb novel.com

When the overwhelming public opinion was attacking Lincoln, and countless media outlets chased traffic without any bottom line, this media outlet completely ignored the news.

They only published a simple post when the predecessor commented on NetDragon’s boastful press conference, objectively reporting that “NetDragon’s so-called advanced technology is exposed as a lie by a student from Donghua University.” That was all, and they didn’t even mention Lincoln’s name.

When they received the surprise invitation from Lincoln, they were overjoyed and immediately agreed without hesitation. They also re-watched Lincoln’s video multiple times, preparing questions in advance, hoping to extract some valuable insights from it.

As for the other invited person, she was currently in her live broadcast room, excitedly dancing and shrieking with joy..
