These two are naturally Bao Nana, who is already in the second year of graduate school at the University of Penn, and Liang Zile, a Chinese American in the fourth year of undergraduate. Bao Nana went to school early, although she was in her second year of graduate school, she was actually the same year as Liang Zile, just two months older than him. However, Bao Nana insisted that she was a graduate student, and Liang Zile was only an undergraduate, so Liang Zile had to call her a senior sister.

Liang Zile is a very easy-going person, I don't know whether it is the innate "little acceptance" temperament, or the face of this beautiful senior sister from China, in short, after seeing Bao Nana for the first time, he stuck to this senior sister, and came to visit him twice in three days, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and taking care of everything.

Bao Nana didn't care about this junior brother at first, but because she was also Chinese, she did not refuse the courtesy of the other party. Liang Zile's sincerity finally moved Bao Nana, and I don't know when the two became inseparable. Bao Nana also enjoys the feeling of being pampered by a little boy in every way, perhaps because she is inherently a bit controlling.

Hearing Bao Nana talking about her best friend and senior brother again, Liang Zile smiled and said: "Senior sister, I think it's a good thing that they are talking about you, which proves that they must be thinking about creating opportunities for you to make money again." You come from Chinese mainland, and you don't need a loan to study, isn't it all because of them?"

Before Bao Nana left China, she had an agreement with Tang Zifeng to help Tang Zifeng investigate the situation of the American machine tool market in the United States, and Tang Zifeng promised to pay the corresponding remuneration based on the information provided by Bao Nana.

Nana Bao came to Penn to study and won a half prize. If you only get a half-scholarship for other Chinese students, you will have to work during your studies, otherwise you will not be able to make ends meet. Bao Nana earned some money from working for Feihai Company and had a small amount of savings, so she did not go out to work in the first year of graduate school, but lived on her past savings.

Bao Nana's savings are quite rich in China, and they are very useless when they are brought to the United States. At present, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is 8.3 to 1, and the domestic exchange rate of 10,000 yuan into US dollars is only 1,200 US dollars, which is almost two months' living expenses, and it is still tight.

Looking at the savings spent like running water, Bao Nana remembered what Tang Zifeng explained, so she pulled Liang Zile and began to do research on the home machine tool market in the United States. Liang Zile immigrated to the United States with his parents more than ten years ago, and he is quite familiar with American society, and he also has some social connections. With his help, Nana had the opportunity to visit some American homes and inspect the tools they use.

She found that many American households had small machine tools, most of which were woodworking machines, but some were metal cutting machines. Bao Nana used her skills as a journalist to not only document the brands and models of these machines, but also to have in-depth conversations with the Americans she interviewed to understand their needs for home machine tools. She compiled the results of her investigation into a detailed report and emailed it to Tang Zifeng.

It was inspired by these reports that Tang Zifeng came up with the idea of a miniature machine. This kind of machine tool that can be packed in a toolbox, or in the industry terminology, is called a "multi-function machine tool", which Tang Zifeng saw by chance in later generations. If it weren't for Bao Nana's prompt, he would never have remembered.

In order to encourage Bao Nana's work, Tang Zifeng paid Bao Nana 20,000 yuan for information from his private account, and told Xiao Wenjun the idea of the mini machine tool and asked her to complete the design of this product. Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun agreed that if the mini machine tool is designed and applied, the information fee of 20,000 yuan will be deducted from the patent authorization fee, which is also a necessary cost.

In addition to the information about the machine tool market, Bao Nana also copied some technical materials from the library for the technical department of Linyi machine, and purchased some professional and technical books, which were also entrusted by Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng is not stingy, every time Bao Nana works, he will pay some fees, of course, these expenses must be paid by Linyiji.

In the past, the technical department of Linyi machine wanted to find this kind of information, not to mention the energy spent, and the money expenditure was also very considerable. In contrast, it is cheaper to ask a student studying in the United States to find these materials.

It was in the process of doing these jobs that Liang Zile heard about her best friend and senior brother from Bao Nana. Bao Nana is full of praise for her best friend, but when describing the senior brother, she uses idioms such as mercenary, ruthless, backsliding, and insidious cunning, and is extremely critical and derogatory.

Liang Zile is a person with enough IQ and emotional intelligence, and he knows from Bao Nana's attitude that she is actually full of good feelings and admiration for this senior brother named Tang Zifeng, and the reason why there is no good word is just a sour grape effect. He translated all the derogatory terms used by Bao Nana into positive words, and restored the image of an excellent young man who is resourceful, keeps promises, is kind-hearted, and is good at management.

"Zile, my senior brother really let me work again, and it's a big job, I'm worried. Bao Nana said to Liang Zile with a bitter face.

Liang Zile read the joy and expectation from Bao Nana's expression, and he said with a smile: "Senior sister, it's a good thing to have a job, you don't have to worry, I can help you." ”

"Yes, I'm afraid you're too busy with graduate school to help me. Bao Nana said pretendically.

Liang Zile said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about the graduate school entrance examination, I just got admitted casually." Senior sister, tell me, what did Senior Brother Tang ask you to do again?"

"My brother sent me an email saying that he was asking my girlfriend to design a new type of home machine tool," Bao Nana said. The size of the machine tool is very small, but at the same time, it can complete various processes such as turning, milling, drilling, sawing, etc., which is equivalent to a machine tool that can be used as several machine tools. Priced between $1,000 and $3,000, the design is absolutely appealing. He asked me if I could help him open up the market in the United States. ”

"Do you see what the machine tool looks like?" asked Liang Zile. He studied business management and didn't know much about machine tools. But in the past year, I have accompanied Bao Nana to do machine tool research, and I have also helped to go to the library to copy materials, and I have gradually gained some perceptual understanding, at least the concepts such as turning, milling, and grinding are known.

Bao Nana said: "I haven't seen the machine tool yet. I asked my girlfriend and she said she wanted to keep it a secret. Hmph, I knew that as soon as I left, she would get together with my senior brother, but now it's okay, she still hides something from me, it's really me off......"

Liang Zile automatically filtered out Bao Nana's complaints, he said: "I think, Senior Sister Xiao is also a reason for keeping it secret for the time being, didn't you say that Senior Brother Tang said that the design of the machine tool can definitely attract people? I suspect that they have used some new design ideas, and they must keep it secret before they are completed, otherwise they will be in trouble if they are preemptively registered." ”

"Well, even if you have a point. Bao Nana didn't bother to argue with Liang Zile, she said: "My senior brother means to let me help him sell machine tools." But how to sell machine tools, I can't use a car to pull a machine tool all over the street and shout, right?"

Liang Zile thought for a while and said: "Senior sister, Senior Brother Tang said that this is a household machine tool, I think it should be able to be sold in general supermarkets or electrical appliance stores, right? You don't need to pull the machine tool when selling, just show them pictures and information, which is relatively easy. ”

"Set up a company?" Bao Nana was taken aback, "Zile, aren't you kidding, is it that easy to set up a company?"

"It's easy. Liang Zile said assumedly, seeing Bao Nana's surprised look, he explained: "Senior sister, you still don't know much about the United States. Setting up a company in the U.S. is easy, just spend a few dozen dollars to register it, and the process is very simple.

"We can rent a small space and use it as the company's address. The site does not need to be in a too busy place, it is enough to be able to put down a machine tool prototype. After the customer has seen the prototype, if they want to purchase, we will let them ship it in China. ”

"But I don't understand that. Bao Nana said.

Liang Zile smiled and said: "It's okay, I just understand, I understand, doesn't I understand the same as you understand? This matter can be wrapped up in me, I am preparing to study for a master's degree in business administration, and I have an entrepreneurial experience, which is very beneficial for me to apply for graduate school." ”

"Really? When we make money, we will both be half. ”

"No, just give me 20%. ”

"Make no mistake about it, this time, we're not making a few hundred dollars. My brother said that we can get 5% of the sales fee for each machine tool, and a machine tool is at least 50 US dollars. My brother's goal is to sell at least 100,000 of these machines in the U.S. market. ”

"100,000 units, how is this possible!" Liang Zile blurted out.

Bao Nana smiled: "Zile, in the past, I was like you, and I couldn't even believe what my senior brother said. But later events proved that my senior brother was very unreliable in other things, only when it came to making money, he was more shrewd than a monkey. He sold college entrance examination review materials in China, making at least tens of millions. This time, he said that this new machine tool can sell 100,000 units, and I have no doubt at all. ”

"If a machine tool is sold for $50, 100,000 units is $5 million...... "Liang Zile muttered to himself, "doesn't this mean that we can dig the first pot of gold?"

"Haha, Xiao Lele, you know the benefits of following me, right? Let's talk about it, the $5 million, half of you, half of me. However, the sale of machine tools is up to you. Bao Nana patted Liang Zile's shoulder, looking like a "big sister".

Liang Zile felt the taste of the beautiful sister's slender jade hand on the shoulder, only to feel that the bones in his body were soft, and the smile on his face was as gorgeous as a dog's tail flower.
