Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Slapping the Fake Heiress 55
After Xiao Yuan and Zhang Ke left, Zhao Han called Anning to the study.
Facing Anning, Zhao Han had a smile on his face.
Now looking at Anning, he didnāt see her so much as a daughter but more like a money tree.
"Just now, with your classmates around, I didnāt say much. Now that itās just our family, I need to have a detailed talk with you."
Anning was still a bit confused: "Dad, what do you want to talk about? Itās not about the battery thing, is it? If it is, you donāt need to discuss it with me. I can just give you the materials, and you can produce them if you want."
Her indifferent attitude towards money left Zhao Han both annoyed and amused.
"Never would have I, Zhao Han, imagined to have a daughter like you."
Anning arched an eyebrow.
Zhao Han laughed: "Every day Iām calculating, haggling over contracts, all to earn more money for you. My life has been all about chasing money, but to my surprise, my daughter sees money as nothing but dirt, unmoved in the face of billions in wealth."
Anning leaned on the desk, her hand propping up her chin in a languid pose: "We have different values. As long as Mom and Dad are here, I wonāt lack money to spend. To me, being given so much money is a hassle; itās better to learn more things ā that truly makes me happy."
Zhao Han nodded, thinking that his daughter was indeed cut out for scientific research. This single-minded pursuit of knowledge seemed quite pure.
Although he was a businessman and valued profit highly, he liked having a pure and unblemished child like Anning.
Patting Anningās head, Zhao Han softly said: "Donāt worry, Dad wonāt let you down. Once weāve set up the factory for the batteries, Iāll give you shares and save all the money for you. You can do whatever you want in the future."
Anning was not overly concerned: "Sure, whatever you say."
What Zhao Han wanted to talk about was something else: "Xiao Yuan is still young, has never been involved in company management, and lacks experience. He only saw the value of the battery and missed the robotās value itself."
Zhao Han asked Anning: "Based on the prototype robot you made, is it feasible to mass-produce a simplified version of a domestic robot?"
Anning thought for a while: "Itās feasible, I suppose. I donāt know what the current machines are like. If the production machinery canāt keep up, Iāll need to find a way to readjust and reassemble them. I canāt guarantee perfection, but if itās just for housework, and made simpler, it wouldnāt be too difficult."
Zhao Han was particularly delighted upon hearing this.
He excitedly hugged Anning: "My girl, do you realize what your robot can bring to our family? With your invention... I might even surpass the richest man relying on my daughter."
Anning was held tightly by Zhao Han, still a bit dazed: "Dad, I donāt understand what youāre saying?"
Zhao Han took out his phone and showed her a video: "Look, even the simple vacuum cleaner robots on the market can sell for a high price. Your domestic robot is much smarter than this and can take care of all the housework. If produced, can you imagine the crazy rush to buy them? If we price it high, our family..."
Zhao Han was so excited he could hardly speak.
He was exhilarated just thinking about it.
"Dad, take a deep breath, donāt get too worked up."
Anning hurriedly advised him: "Donāt let your blood pressure soar, sit down and listen to me. All this is small fry. Give me some more time. Once Iāve learned a bit more, I can make anything you want. We need to stay calm. Thereās plenty more good stuff to come."
"Iām not excited, Iām not excited."
Zhao Han gripped his hands tightly, trying to calm himself down: "Iām just happy, my daughter is so capable. With my daughter around, whatās there to worry about?"
Anning smiled: "Then give me some more money. I canāt use this robot for competition; I need to buy materials to make another one."
"Okay, money, Iāll give you money."
Zhao Han handed Anning a card: "You can spend whateverās on it."
Anning accepted it without much care.
But when she checked the balance on the card later, she was shocked.
She hadnāt expected Zhao Han to be so generous, almost giving her all the liquid funds he had, this card alone had over a hundred million.
Anning thought Zhao Han was almost crazy.
She was just a kid, and Zhao Han was really daring to give her so much money, not afraid she might go astray.
Anning tucked the card away, pondering over what kind of robot to make next, then she contacted An Xin to inquire about Liu Mingzhuās matter.
