"First stop: Director Zhang from the IT Department." Li Banjia circled the names of Zhang Qiming from the IT Department and Huang Haoran from the Product R&D Department on the tactical whiteboard. "For the 'Smart Retail: Energy Consolidation and Renewal' strategy, 'data integration' is the foundation. Whether Director Zhang is technically capable and willing to cooperate in terms of attitude will be the key to our success or failure."
Lin Wei nodded. "Director Zhang has a technical background and is a pragmatist. As long as our proposal holds up technically and shows him tangible value—such as improving data center efficiency or optimizing the existing system architecture—he should support us. But I'm afraid he might worry about Vice President Wang..."
"That's why, for this 'state visit', I have to go myself," Li Banjia laughed. "Minister Lin, you and Mengmeng hold down the fort in the rear, and adjust and refine the proposal at any time based on my 'diplomatic' achievements. At the same time, have the Imperial Directorate of Astronomy keep a close eye on Wang Laohu and his gang of 'veteran ministers' so they don't trip us up behind the scenes."
