Chapter 57 Business Genius Shen Sir, News of Li Shutang!
"Shen Shaofeng, what are you doing? When did you..."
"No, with whom... uh, I mean..."
Shen Shaofeng's words caused the usually quick-witted reporter from Le University to instantly overload his CPU and start rambling incoherently.
"Don't overthink it, this is important business. You're at the TV station? I'll come pick you up after get off work."
"Uh, okay."
……
Le's Media Building.
When Shen Shaofeng arrived, Yue Huizhen, wearing a Burberry trench coat, was already waiting there, along with two female colleagues with gossipy expressions.
Seeing Shen Shaofeng get out of the car, the two men's eyes lit up instantly, and they winked and leaned down, saying:
"Hey, Sister Dou Dou, isn't that your car? Why is someone else driving it? Come on, tell me the truth."
"Hehe, it might not be just anyone, it could be one of our own. This is the handsome police officer we saw every day on the news before, a lot of bitches in the station were secretly talking about him."
Shen Shaofeng walked over generously and greeted the two of them: "Hi, I'm here to pick up Miss Le from get off work. We have some important business to discuss."
Seeing how composed the man was, the two gossipy young ladies felt embarrassed to continue teasing him. They said, "Hello, Mr. Shen; goodbye, Mr. Shen," and tactfully left.
Along the way, Lok Wai-ching wanted to ask, but didn't know how to bring it up, and felt very frustrated.
While listening to Jacky Cheung's "I Waited Until the Flowers Withered," Shen Shaofeng parked his car in the mall's underground parking lot.
……
Lotus Maternity and Baby Products Center, 16th Floor, Windsor House Plaza, Causeway Bay.
Most of the customers around were couples, and some were mothers with children.
Shen Shaofeng and Yue Huizhen are a couple. The man is handsome and tall, with a dignified bearing; the woman is bright and beautiful, with a slender figure, and is too young. They seem out of place here.
Le Huizhen felt uncomfortable being stared at by the curious gazes of the pregnant women and new mothers around her.
She couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Hey, what exactly do you want to see?"
"Baby bottle".
Shen Shaofeng casually agreed and quickly looked for a counter displaying baby bottles and nipples.
After finding his target, he walked over and began to carefully observe the goods on the shelf.
He would also pick up a baby bottle from time to time and gently press the nipple.
At this moment, a middle-aged female sales clerk walked over:
"Good afternoon, sir/madam. Are you looking for baby bottles? How old is your baby? I can recommend suitable styles based on your baby's different stages."
The salesperson greeted them warmly.
Lok Wai-ching's face flushed instantly, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, you've misunderstood, we..."
Shen Shaofeng smiled and said to the sales clerk, "One of our colleagues' children is about to turn one month old, and they'd like to choose some suitable baby bottles as gifts."
The sales clerk suddenly realized, "Oh, I'm so sorry, let me introduce you two..."
Shen Shaofeng listened attentively and even raised some questions regarding whether the baby was prone to gas.
After a while, having obtained all the necessary information, he nodded to the sales clerk and said:
"Thank you, we'll take a look ourselves first."
"Yes, sir."
Lok Wai-ching couldn't help but pinch Shen Shao-feng's arm, only to find she couldn't get it off: "Shen Sir, what are you doing? If you want to give a gift, just buy it."
"Let's go downstairs and find a place to eat first, then we can talk while we eat. This is really serious business."
……
Private room at Fu Xuan Restaurant, 6th floor of Royal Castle Plaza.
Le Huizhen stared silently at a crookedly drawn design blueprint.
"Are you sure this is a baby bottle?"
Shen Shaofeng remained expressionless, picked up a piece of grouper and put it in his mouth: "Well, my art was taught by the PE teacher, so just bear with it. The important thing is the principle."
Le Huizhen sighed, spread the blueprints on the dining table, and asked Shen Shaofeng to explain.
Shen Shaofeng pointed with his chopsticks to the wavy lines and arrows on the drawing. "Look, these are the channels for the milk to flow..."
"My idea is to use a structure that allows air to enter but not milk to exit. After the air enters here, it travels directly to the bottom of the bottle through this independent air duct..."
"...Using this and this together ensures more thorough separation of air and liquid, eliminating the possibility of breast engorgement in infants."
That's right, Shen Shaofeng, as a time traveler, plagiarized the anti-colic baby bottle patent design invented by Dr. Brown in 1996.
With his memories from the afterlife, it would have been easy to make a fortune on Hong Kong Island in 1995, but his police officer status limited many methods—such as collusion in sports betting.
If you want to make money legally and legitimately without attracting the attention of the ICAC due to conflicts of interest, then stock trading is the way to go.
However, Shen Shaofeng couldn't remember the specific daily trends of Hong Kong stocks in 1995. He could certainly invest for the long term, but it would be slow to yield results. He also lacked the legal start-up capital to invest in real estate.
That's why we finally set our sights on this patent that requires no specialized knowledge but has enormous potential.
Shen Shaofeng's description was very serious. Although his "design drawings" were terrible, his language was logical and clear, and the principles were explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
The more Yue Huizhen listened, the more she felt that he truly had great potential.
As we all know, many families are willing to spend money on their children. If Shen Shaofeng's design can really succeed, one can imagine how terrifying the profits will be.
"Junior brother, you're amazing. You don't even need to actually start a company and start production, which would attract the attention of the ICAC. You can make a fortune just by licensing your patents."
Shen Shaofeng was surprised that Yue Huizhen had already considered this step; she truly lived up to her reputation as the eldest daughter of the Yue family.
"Wait a minute, let me make a call and ask about the patents for you, especially the international ones."
Lok Hye-jung took out her phone, dialed a number, and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, Uncle Chan? It's me, Hye-jung... Yes, it's been a long time since I've asked about you. How are you doing?"
"Well, I have something urgent I'd like to ask you. A friend of mine has a fantastic product invention idea for a baby bottle that can solve the problem of gas. It has great market potential, and he wants to apply for a patent as soon as possible, especially an international patent..."
Shen Shaofeng didn't make a sound to disturb him. He lit a cigarette, picked up his teacup, and slowly enjoyed the Tieguanyin tea.
After hanging up the phone, Lok Wai-ching smiled excitedly.
She took out a pen from her bag and quickly jotted down a name and phone number in the blank space of Shen Shaofeng's "design drawing".
"It's all settled! Uncle Chan recommended Law Ting-pong from the Li Tak Shun firm. He's one of the top patent lawyers in Hong Kong, especially skilled in international patents, and very reliable..."
Just as she was about to explain further, Shen Shaofeng's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is Shen Shaofeng, oh, you're my uncle..."
"Okay, I'm coming right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Shaofeng gave an apologetic smile: "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll leave these to you."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, leaving Le Huizhen looking stunned.
No, don't you know how valuable this thing would be if it were successfully patented? You just throw it at me like that, what if I swallow it myself?
After a few seconds, Yue Huizhen suddenly smiled sweetly: "Consider yourself lucky, my family is loaded with money..."
She carefully put away the design drawings and called the waiter in to pay the bill.
……
A fishing boat in Dapeng Bay.
"Uncle, why did you call me over so urgently? Is there news about those people?"
"Yeah, a smuggler just told me that someone helped Jiang Long get ashore through his connections..."
