Chapter 40 Then Don't Cooperate
Sam darkened his face and pushed the bike across the key line.
After looking at Alex, who was receiving congratulations from a distance and smiling, Sam spitted fiercely on the ground and cursed in a low voice.
This is not scolding Alex, the first to cross the finish line, but scolding the Angelt bicycle beside him.
If it weren't for this damn bike, he might have hoped that he would be the first to cross the finish line, not only to win the championship, but also to get the extra reward of that hundred gold coins.
But everything was ruined on this damn bicycle!
If the chain of this damn bicycle had not been falling off along the way, causing him to stop and re-mount it frequently, he would not have been able to delay so long and pass the finish line so late.
You know, at this time last year, although Sam did not win the championship when he participated in the New Air Chamber of Commerce road cycling race, he only took less than three hours to reach the top ten with a total of 60 kilometers.
Thinking of the difference between last year and this year, Sam was even more angry and couldn't help but put it on the rear wheel of the bicycle with a vicious kick.
But when he kicked it like this, the rear wheel of the bicycle made a few crisp sounds, but several screws fell off from it.
Immediately afterwards, the rear wheel of the bicycle fell off the frame and fell to the ground.
Sam looked at the flat rear wheels on the ground in a daze, his face full of incredible surprise.
Are you getting a mistake?
He has only bought this bicycle for less than a week, but he rode it a few days ago to prepare for the competition. So far, it probably hasn't been used for more than 500 kilometers. It's just broken?
"Haha. There is one more miserable here than us." A sensational laugh suddenly sounded behind her, which made Sam turn his head angrily.
But when he turned around, he was stunned.
Behind him, many young men of similar age were pushing a bicycle across the finish line just now, just like him.
Sam glanced over and found that all the bicycles pushed in these people were Angelt brand.
"Hey, is your bicycle broken, too?" Sam asked in surprise without hesitation.
A group of people looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.
"Yes. I was halfway through the run and I kicked off the pedal, which made me unable to speed up."
"It's okay if you just fall off the pedal. Look at me, this handlebar has been twisted and turned! I can't even control the direction."
"Come on, your car is at least complete. Look at my car. I walked all the way and its parts fell all the way. Although it didn't even fall off the rear wheel like this guy, I don't think it will be apart after riding for a long time."
"Oh. So, I have too many problems. I almost came here."
"Me too."
“So I…”
...
After everyone complained, a young man suddenly sighed to the sky: "Oh, I should have followed my mother's advice and decided to buy the new flying license plate. What a shit Angelt bicycle, it's just as good as shit."
"Yes, I have been buying the new flying car I used for more than two years. I have to ride it to and from get off work almost every day, and run at least twenty kilometers every day. But after so long, it has been a little dirty and worn in some places, and it is almost no different from the new one, let alone the look that is about to fall apart."
"Well, my new flying bicycle is the same. I have run through all kinds of bad roads, but it is very strong and rarely has problems."
"So too. Alas, why didn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launch their multi-level highway bike earlier? If it were launched earlier, I wouldn't have bought this damn Angelt bicycle, wasted ten gold coins."
"That's right, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had brought out their bikes earlier, I wouldn't have bought anything from other chambers of commerce."
"Yeah yeah……"
...
Listening to everyone's remembrance of the excellent quality and durability of the new Flying bicycles, Sam couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Before, he laughed at Dad Sarkic for being out of date and only knows how to identify with the New Air Chamber of Commerce and accepts new things without knowing it. Now that he has learned the lesson, Sam discovered that Dad Sarkic’s view is the most correct one.
"Hey, everyone, we can't just let it go, right?" a man suddenly said.
"Hmm? What does it mean?"
"You see, the longest one of us has bought an Angelt bicycle for less than half a month, right? But now these bicycles have become like this. With such a big problem in such a short time, shouldn't we ask Angelt Chamber of Commerce to compensate us?"
When everyone heard the "compensation", they were immediately excited, and only one person was a little worried.
"The Angelt Chamber of Commerce seems to be very strong in the backstage, how can we ask them to compensate?"
"Hmph, no matter how strong the backstage is, can we still sell some of our inferior products like this? How dare we not compensate? Then let's make a big deal! Let's make this happen completely and see who will buy the things from their chamber of commerce in the future!"
"Yes! Just do it!"
"Okay, we should do this..."
###
While a group of young people were discussing how to find Angelt Chamber of Commerce to seek compensation for their losses, Angelt Chamber of Commerce President Verol Angelt stood in front of Heinze with a dark face and asked Heinze to compensate him.
"Vice President Heinze, why didn't you tell me before you launched a new bicycle? Do you know how much impact will your sudden launch of new bicycle products have on our Chamber of Commerce's bicycle sales? How do you compensate us for the losses caused by this?"
Heinze frowned slightly, raised his hand to wipe off the spit on his face that was sprayed by President Angelt, and said calmly: "Our Chamber of Commerce launches new products, and it seems that there is no need to inform you in advance, right?"
President Angelt was furious: "Of course it's necessary! Have you forgotten? When President Xu signed a technology transfer agreement with us before, he clearly marked it. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will share it with us in product research and development. As a result, you have not only secretly developed new products, but also have not shared any related technologies with us. Are you planning to break the contract?"
Heinzer shook his head: "This is not a new product that has been secretly developed. It is the exact same technology as the so-called road bike you launched before."
"Nonsense!" President Angelt angrily rebuked: "It's okay to forget about other aspects, what do you say about the transmission above?"
Heinze blinked his eyes, shook his head without changing his face and said, "I'm sorry, that transmission was not developed by our Chamber of Commerce, and the technology is not in the hands of our Chamber of Commerce. Even if we want to take it out and share it, we can't do it."
"Impossible!" President Angelt said firmly: "How could this kind of thing not be developed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? How could other chambers of commerce have this kind of R&D capabilities besides your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Heinze looked at President Angelt in surprise: "President Angelt, I remember it very clearly. At that time, President Xu warned you that the foundation and most important things of the magic industry are all in technology research and development. You claimed with great confidence that since our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will be able to develop new technologies and new products, then you, Angelt Chamber of Commerce, will be fine."
President Angelt looked suffocated. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand a little embarrassedly and said, "No matter what, in short, since you have mastered this transmission now, you should share it according to our previous agreement."
"I just said that this is not the technology of our chamber of commerce, and I can't just take it over and hand it over to you. This is a patent protection bill."
Seeing that Heinze was speaking firmly, President Angelt's eyes turned and changed his mouth, "Okay, tell me which chamber of commerce developed this technology. I will propose a technology transfer to them."
Heinze shook his head gently: "Sorry, the other party asked to keep it confidential, so... there is nothing to tell me."
President Angelt was furious: "Vice President Heinze, what do you mean? I want you to share this technology. You said that this technology does not belong to your New Flight Chamber of Commerce. That's fine. I'm asking you now which chamber of commerce developed this technology, and you don't want to tell me? Do you don't plan to continue to cooperate with us? Ah?"
Heinzer's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "President Angelt, I solemnly remind you that now you hope to cooperate with our New Flight Chamber of Commerce, not our New Flight Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to ask for cooperation with you. You said we don't plan to continue to cooperate? OK, then let's end this cooperation, I have no objection!"
"Ah?" President Angelt never expected that Heinze, a guy who always smiles and looks like a kind old man, would suddenly become so tough and domineering.
Really not cooperative? Don’t say that President Angelt dares not say that, I’m afraid that no one of their ten chambers of commerce dares to say that.
If he really broke down the negotiations with Heinze, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really ended its technological sharing and cooperation with these ten chambers of commerce, the big figures behind him would definitely leave him dead!
Thinking of this, President Angelt suddenly burst into a cold sweat, wiped his forehead behind him, and quickly changed his face to smile.
"This... Vice President Heinze, I just said it casually, don't take it too seriously. Since it is the chamber of commerce that requires confidentiality, it is right for you not to tell me. After all, this is related to the credibility of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. I am too abrupt, sorry."
Heinze snorted heavily: "It's too late!"
After saying that, Heinzer took out a document from his arms and handed it over to President Angelt.
"This is the document that the president has signed the name and will take effect from now on behalf of the president. I will officially inform you that the technology sharing and cooperation relationship between our two chambers of commerce will end here. The agreement signed before will be invalid!"
"Ah?" President Angelt looked at Heinze blankly, unable to believe his ears at all.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually...has unilaterally tore up the agreement signed by both parties before?
Chapter completed!
