After participating in the celebration banquet, Xu Wangqiu dragged his luggage and returned to Mao'er Hutong slowly.

When he walked into the courtyard, Xu Wangqiu saw that the lights in the guest room were on. Xu Wangbei sometimes comes over and sleeps here. But today is not the weekend, Xu Wangbei will not be here, it should be the eldest brother Xu Wangchuan who is here. Before going to West Berlin, he called Xu Wangchuan and asked Xu Wangchuan to come over around the tenth.

Xu Wangqiu came to the door and knocked on the room, and sure enough, it was Xu Wangchuan. He smiled and asked, "Big brother, when did you arrive?"

Xu Wangchuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xu Wangqiu: "Wangqiu is back." I arrived this afternoon. He saw the luggage around Xu Wangqiu and knew that he had just arrived home, so he said, "Why did you come here without putting your luggage?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "I saw the lights on in the house outside, I guess you came, so I came over to take a look." ”

After entering the room, Xu Wangqiu asked about the situation at home, and went straight to the point: "When I asked you to contract the labor service company to go to the cave, I told you. We have only been in the business for three years, and we have only been raising funds for the real plan. Now that three years are up, it's time for us to move on to the next step. ”

Xu Wangchuan said with a smile: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Xu Wangqiu laughed and said: "I was still worried that you were reluctant to go to the acupuncture business, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

Xu Wangchuan did think about it, why not keep doing it if he made so much money by going to the acupoint, but thinking of what Xu Wangqiu said to him at the beginning, he still chose to give up: "Didn't you say that going to the acupoint makes a small amount of money, and we want to make a lot of money." ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded and asked, "Big brother, how much money did we make from contracting the labor service company for three years?"

Xu Wangchuan lowered his voice and said, "2.37 million." ”

Xu Wangqiu showed a satisfied smile, 2.37 million, this money is much higher than expected. He remembered that in his previous life, the starting capital was 200,000 yuan, while Huawei's registered capital was only 20,000 yuan. Their own funds are dozens or even hundreds of times that of theirs, and they have memories of the next 30 years, if they still lose to them, then they should really find a piece of tofu to die. "That's enough money to carry out our plan," he said confidently. Ten years from now, our company will become the leader of China's technology companies, and twenty years from now, our company will become one of the world's top 500 companies. ”

Xu Wangchuan also burned a flame in his heart, and asked, "What exactly do we do, how to do it?"

Xu Wangqiu slowly said the idea that had been brewing for a long time: "The most important thing for us now is to establish the company. I think so, we signed an agreement with Xiuying Studio, take out this part of the money to open a company, and go through the procedures in the name of Xiuying Studio, they do not invest, nor do they bear any risks and responsibilities, we are responsible for the operation, and we pay them a management fee of 100,000 yuan every year. The money to start a company is in the name of a labor service company, which is a subsidiary of Xiuying Studio and can easily pass the review of superiors. ”

Xu Wangchuan was a little puzzled: "Is it necessary to make it so complicated, can't we do it ourselves?"

Xu Wangqiu shook his head and said: "This is no choice, because we are not engaged in an ordinary enterprise, but a computer enterprise." The state will not allow private enterprises to engage in computer business in a short period of time, and it is only possible to find a unit to be affiliated with it. Another problem is that we need to hire someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is very difficult for a private enterprise to hire people, and it is much easier to hire people in the name of a collective enterprise. ”

Xu Wangqiu's practice is what was often referred to as wearing a red hat later, and this kind of enterprise is called a red hat enterprise. In fact, the private enterprises established at the beginning of the reform and opening up basically wore red hats. This is no choice, although the reform and opening up has gradually opened the process of marketization, but the "Company Law" has not yet been promulgated, and individuals are still not allowed to run enterprises, and the expedient measure is to find a state-owned unit to be attached to, and by wearing this red hat, it will be transformed into a collective enterprise.

In the 80s, the production of computers required approval, and there was only one enterprise in China that had approval for the production of computers, which was the Great Wall. Lenovo has always had the idea of assembling a computer, but because it couldn't get the approval, it never came to fruition. It was not until 1990 that Lenovo obtained the approval to officially produce Lenovo brand computers.

Lenovo is a subsidiary of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it is still the case, and it is impossible for private enterprises not to be affiliated with it.

Xu Wangchuan frowned and said: "You may not know, we made money by going to the cave, many people are very dissatisfied with this, and there are many people who write to us, and some people even say that the money belongs to Xiuying Studio and should belong to Xiuying Studio." If we make the company bigger in the future, what if the show film studio turns around and denies the account, saying that the company is theirs?"

Xu Wangqiu knew that Xu Wangchuan's worries were right, and in order to solve the problem of red hat enterprises, in 1991 the relevant departments jointly promulgated the "Interim Provisions on the Definition of the Ownership of State-owned Assets of Enterprises", Article 5 of which stipulates: "In the definition of ownership, the nature of assets should not be defined by the economic nature of the registration of enterprise legal persons, but the source of funds for the initial investment of the enterprise should be traced back to the principle of who invests, who owns and who benefits." ”

However, disputes over property rights still emerge in an endless stream, and many of the actual investors of red hat companies have even been kicked out of the company and completely lost the ownership of the enterprise. Xu Wangchuan's worries are not groundless, but a reality that has happened countless times.

However, Xu Wangqiu dared to come up with this idea, and naturally he was sure to solve the problem: "Not in a short time, I am the director of the art center, at least in six or seven years, Xiuying Studio will not turn against us." And six or seven years later, the relevant regulations of the state should be released, and when the time comes, we will give the show studio a sum of money and take off the red hat. The heart of defense is indispensable, and for the sake of insurance, this company is not registered in Rongcheng, but in Beiping. In this way, even if the show studio wants to make any small moves, their hands will not dare to reach over to Beiping easily. ”

Xu Wangchuan thought for a while and said, "That's it." Then I'll go back to Rongcheng tomorrow and go and get this done. ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Don't rush back first, I'll take you to the Chinese Academy of Sciences tomorrow afternoon and find you a few teachers." After our company is registered, we will not do anything in the first half of the year, just recruit a group of workers and let the experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences give you a lesson for the first half of the year. After you have mastered the basic knowledge of computers, you can start a company again, so that you can have a greater chance of success. ”

Hearing that Xu Wangqiu let him study for half a year, Xu Wangchuan said with a sad face: "Wangqiu, I'll be exempt." It's not that you don't know, I don't have the brains of you and Wangbei, and I'm not the material for reading. You said that we were both born by the same mother, why are you and Wangbei so good at reading, and I am not the material for reading?"

Xu Wangqiu explained: "Letting you learn from the experts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not to hope that you will have a deep study of computers, but just to let you master some basic things. In this way, when the company is engaged in R&D in the future, you can know in your heart. For example, if we do Hanka, at least you should know what Hanka is and know the basic principles. As the boss, if you don't even know what is going on with the company's production, then the company may not be able to operate for long. ”

Xu Wangchuan knew that Xu Wangqiu was right, and said with a bitter face: "Okay, I can only catch the ducks on the shelves." ”

The next morning, Xu Wangqiu took Xu Wangchuan to the export company. He asked Zhang Yimou and the others to take Xu Wangchuan around, and he went to Wang Lanxi's office to make a detailed report on the general's trip to West Berlin, and then returned to the office to deal with the accumulated affairs.

After lunch, Xu Wangqiu took Xu Wangchuan to Tsinghua and called Xu Wangbei out of the dormitory. The three siblings hadn't chatted together for a long time, so they found a quiet corner on campus and chatted happily.

When it was almost two o'clock, Xu Wangbei went to the classroom, and Xu Wangqiu took Xu Wangchuan to Baiyi Road.

Forty years later, the famous Zhongguancun Electronic Street is lined with high-rise buildings, and the huge glass curtain walls form exaggerated geometric shapes, exuding dazzling light against the blue sky. At this time, on both sides of Baiyi Road are poplar trees on both sides, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace, while behind the poplar trees is a gray building, surrounded by farmland division. These are under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including the Institute of Computing, the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Electronics.

Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangchuan walked down the quiet street towards the Institute of Physics. When he walked nearly a hundred meters from the Institute of Physics, an old man approached him. The old man looked no different from the ordinary old man in Beiping, wearing a blue coat, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and walking slowly with his hands behind his back. When the old man came over, Xu Wangqiu hurriedly pulled Xu Wangchuan to stand up respectfully and made way for the old man.

After the old man passed, Xu Wangchuan said curiously: "Who is that old man?"

Xu Wangqiu said in a low voice: "It's Mr. Wang Ganchang." ”

As a child of the arsenal, Xu Wangchuan knew that Wang Ganchang was an expert in nuclear physics, and he had also heard the story of his life as a country. After receiving his doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1934, his first thought was, "I want to go back to China." His fellow German scientists advised him, "Science has no borders, China is very backward, and there are no conditions for scientific research that you need, so why should you go back?" Wang Ganchang resolutely refused, saying, "Although science has no borders, scientists do have national boundaries." As a Chinese, my motherland is suffering unjustly, and I want to go back to serve her." In 1961, Wang Ganchang received a notice from the central government that he wanted him to participate in nuclear weapons research. In order to keep it secret, he had to change his name. Wang Ganchang agreed without hesitation, and left six words "I am willing to promise the country with my body".

Xu Wangchuan's cultural level is not very high, but he has a hero complex since he was a child, and people like Wang Ganchang are great heroes in his heart. Hearing that the old man in front of him was Wang Ganchang, he immediately bowed to Wang Ganchang's back, turned his head and said, "I didn't expect a big scientist like him to look no different from an ordinary old man." ”

Xu Wangqiu looked at Wang Ganchang's back and said sincerely: "This is probably called returning to the basics." ”

Outsiders entering the Institute of Physics must not only register with the doorman, but also need to reserve valid documents. Xu Wangchuan left his work card in the guard room, and then walked into the Institute of Physics with Xu Wangqiu.

At the door of the building of the Institute of Physics, Xu Wangqiu stopped a middle-aged man and said politely: "Comrade, do you know where Chen Cunxian is?"

The man looked at Xu Wangqiu and asked, "Do you have anything to do with Chen Cunxian?"

Xu Wangqiu explained: "We heard that he opened a technical service company that can provide training and other related services, and we just need that, so we wanted to leave this to their company." ”

The man said suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Xu Wangqiu took out his work card and handed it to the man: "We are a film export company. ”

The man took the work card, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Wangqiu's three words, and then showed a sudden expression: "You are the Xu Wangqiu who won the Golden Bear Award in West Berlin a few days ago, I said why do you look a little familiar." He returned his work permit to Xu Wangqiu and said, "Chen Chunxian is not in the office now, he is in the industrial company on Huayuan Road, I will take you there." ”
