Chapter 208: Packing up and returning home

"Wife, I want to discuss something with you......"

Xue Jianbin, a senior engineer working at Ford Power's R&D center, mustered up the courage to speak to his wife. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Wait, have you already thought about the destination for our 10th wedding anniversary, and are you ready to surprise me and the children with a big surprise?"

Chen Jiayan, his wife, who had just come out of the shower and wiped her hair with a towel, asked excitedly.

Last year, Han Hao came to Detroit to recruit talents, Xue Jianbin had attended and was moved by this, and tonight to participate in the "China Night" again, his inner desire to return to China has been irrepressible.

"Today, the Chung Hwa Group came to preach, and they have a very suitable position, I think-"

Xue Jianbin tried to communicate with his wife in a calm manner, but was soon interrupted by the other party.

"Wait-haven't we talked about this issue before! We finally came to the United States and got a green card, do we want to abandon all this and run back to China to start anew? Now we don't know how many old classmates and old friends in China envy us, and many people are doing everything possible to go abroad, but you are stupid to run back!"

The couple had a discussion on the topic of returning to China, but they have always broken up unhappily. In the eyes of his wife, Chen Jiayan, the United States is a paradise, China is just a thing of the past, and it is a very stupid decision to return to China now. Although both received their basic college education in China, they have already settled down in the United States after studying abroad. If it weren't for her husband's insistence on teaching Chinese to her two children, the children at home would now be complete ABC banana people in the United States.

"Aren't you satisfied with our lives now? We have our own house, our car, and our children, and although we are not rich, we are still living a comfortable life! I really can't think of why you want to break all this peace!"

Feeling angry, Chen Jiayan threw the towel on the ground and said angrily at Xue Jianbin.

"Now my position has reached a bottleneck, and many of the people who joined the company with me have already been at the level of supervisors at my head, and I have been standing still! And you are not working now, and as a full-time housewife, the whole family earns money alone. If our department lays off employees, I'm a potential layoff!

No matter how hard I work, there is always an invisible wall standing above me! In the mainstream society of the United States, it is difficult for us Chinese to integrate into it no matter what, and more of us are just small circles to entertain ourselves.

If I return to China, I will be able to contribute what I have learned in my life and achieve my life goals. I think you and I were so high-spirited at the beginning, but now we are bending over and working in a foreign country for three meals a day. Over the years, I have been made up of my mind by you, but this time I hope that I can be willful once and live for myself, so as not to regret it when I get old!"

His wife said this, so that Xue Jianbin also poured out all the words in his heart.

"Have you forgotten that your mother was seriously ill in China, and we couldn't wait at the bedside, and your elderly father ran up and down alone? Now that we have such a good opportunity, as long as we return to China, we can live the same standard of life in China as here, and we are closer to our parents and easier to take care of, and they can come to visit their children and grandchildren at any time!

The salary offered by the Chunghwa Group is enough for us to live a prosperous life at home! You ask yourself, is the United States really as good as you say? Is it really as unbearable to return to China as you imagined? Is our current life the state you have always hoped for?

Is this a besieged city, people outside the city want to come in, people from the city want to get out!"

Xue Jianbin's words directly touched the heart of his wife Chen Jiayan.

This night, both husband and wife were sleepless in silence.

Early the next morning, with dark circles under her eyes, Chen Jiayan took the initiative to speak.

"I thought about it, if you really insist, then you go back to China to work for a while, and I really think it's appropriate for us to think about the next plan. My children and I are staying in the U.S. for the time being, after all, they still have to go to school on time. To be honest, it took so much effort for the two of us to come out, and now I always feel unwilling to go back!"

I thought that there would be a cold war for a while, but I didn't expect my wife to take the initiative to back down, which made Xue Jianbin a little moved in addition to being surprised.

"People always like to show their glamorous side to others, but life is like drinking water and knowing that we know that even if we return to China to work, it is not a shame. Now not only Detroit, but also many Chinese people in Silicon Valley are returning to China to start their own businesses, because our home country is actually more attractive than we imagined. In fact, no matter whether we get a green card or become an American citizen, we cannot get rid of the imprint of our descendants of Yan and Huang, and China is our motherland.

I remember when you were in college classes, you vowed at the class meeting that you would study to serve the country, and your confident and positive attitude at that time touched me at once. After so many years, I still vividly remember your beauty at that moment.

Now we have a chance to deliver on that promise, and even if it fails, I'm going to give it a try. In fact, you can also continue to engage in the job you are interested in, and it is a waste of talent for a master's degree student from a prestigious American university to be a housewife!

When you return to China, you can ask your parents to come over and help, so that you can be liberated. Compared to you who are busy in the kitchen all day, I still prefer to go out and work more strong women!"

The relationship between husband and wife for many years will not be alienated because of temporary differences, and the two have experienced many ups and downs together from college classmates. Xue Jianbin also hopes to take the opportunity of returning to China this time to make his wife regain a second spring.

"It should still be possible to return to China to be a teacher, at least teaching English is not a problem!"

After a night of thinking, another pair of top students studying in the United States are ready to return to China for development under the call of Han Hao.

When he came to the interview venue temporarily requisitioned by Zhonghua Group, Xue Jianbin found that many people gathered here, and many of them were well-known technical backbones in the Chinese circle. However, everyone came in a hurry, and left in a hurry after the interview, as if they didn't want to publicize the trend of returning to China.

"Jianbin, I had the pleasure of reading your article on turbocharging. I couldn't agree more that you think the realistic solution to reduce emissions while maintaining power standards in the future is to adopt turbocharging technology on a large scale in engines. ”

Zhao Quanfu personally received Xue Jianbin and valued such forward-looking research experts.

Although Xue Jianbin is only responsible for the subdivision of turbocharging, and has little experience in the overall research and development of engines, as long as he is given the opportunity, I believe he can quickly draw inferences.

At present, in the field of international engines, Volkswagen is at the forefront of engine turbocharging technology. While other international giants still insist on large-displacement self-priming engines, Volkswagen has taken small-displacement turbocharged engines as the next breakthrough.

"In terms of turbocharging, I think that as long as the technology continues to improve, the defects of the turbine that are easily damaged will be quickly solved, and it will not be a problem for daily use in the future. After the 1L engine is coupled with turbo technology, it can be comparable to the power of the 1.4L self-priming engine, but the fuel consumption is kept at the 1L standard, which is the direction of technology development.

Engines above 3.0 liters will be phased out in 10 years and replaced by turbocharging, which is more economical and efficient. If we can catch up with turbocharging, we can shorten the technology gap with foreign mainstream companies and achieve the goal of overtaking in corners. ”

Xue Jianbin no longer has reservations and shows his best state. Since you have decided to return to China for development, you need a better platform, and it is an inevitable choice to show your strength. Zhao Quanfu is the director of the China Automotive Research Institute, and he has the right to allocate R&D resources, so getting the other party's recognition is the key to the success of returning to China for development.

"If I am given enough resources, I am sure that I can replicate the turbocharging technology in China within two years. The turbocharged engines mass-produced by Zhonghua Group will definitely be a bright spot in the market. I've been doing turbocharging for 8 years, and I believe I don't know less than others!"

At present, Zhao Quanfu is mainly responsible for the technical development plan of Zhonghua Group, and one of his primary goals is to realize the application of turbocharging technology according to the five-year plan period.

"Very good, we need experienced talents like you to lead the development of a new young team! In fact, I don't really care about whether it is fruitful or not, I just hope that you will first build the corresponding R&D team and popularize basic R&D knowledge. I have also been involved in technology, and I know what R&D personnel are most concerned about. As long as the effort is reached, many things will fall into place!"

Han Hao kept his promise and did not interfere too much in the research and development of the institute, especially did not ask for when the results would be produced. Zhao Quanfu was able to follow his ideas to build the institute in a big way, and at the same time copy the successful R&D system and experience of the United States to China for localization. Many of the management processes are American-style, and those who return home will still feel like they're still working in Detroit if they don't walk out of the graduate school after work.

"Having the opportunity to achieve my ambitions and to be able to do something for the country is what I'm looking forward to the most. Through the Internet, I also learned about the development of Zhonghua Group in China. Compared with other state-owned enterprises, I think this is the revolutionary mecca of China's auto industry, attracting many talents to take the initiative to move in. ”

The working atmosphere of the China Automotive Research Institute has already been transmitted to the other side of the ocean through the Internet, and those who are interested in returning to China have already known it through email and chat tools. Otherwise, Xue Jianbin would not be so determined to return to China for development, and in the exchange with returning friends, he learned that the motherland is now thriving and developing.

As expected, Zhao Quanfu decided to hire Xue Jianbin on the spot, and he will preside over the turbocharging technology team and apply relevant technologies to the mass production of the second-generation Pangu engine.

Happily going home, Xue Jianbin couldn't help the joy in his heart, his long-awaited wish finally came true, and he walked into the house with his mouth closed.

"So much? Can domestic companies afford to pay so much?"

Knowing that the salary offered by Zhonghua Group to her husband was 50% higher than her current income, his wife Chen Jiayan couldn't believe it.

"It's true, I don't believe you look at the contract, it's clearly written here. In particular, China's tax rate is low, and the actual income is higher than 50%. That's why I said, returning to China for development is not necessarily a bad thing, otherwise why so many capitalists around the world have come to China to invest, which shows that it is a gold rush mecca. ”

After solving the thorny problem, returning to China for development is already a complete boat, Xue Jianbin couldn't help but say a little proudly.

"My parents' retirement salary is only in the early 1,000s, and Zhonghua Group can afford such a high salary level, which is really one of the best in China. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jiayan blurted out with emotion.

"You get what you pay for, if you can clean your husband's belly and officially mass produce it, then Zhonghua Group will get hundreds of millions of revenues! I rely on my own brain to eat, I have studied for so many years, and I have worked for so long, of course it is worth this money!"

In a good mood, Xue Jianbin rarely took the initiative to brag about his ability.

"Whatever you want to eat at night, I'll make it for you to celebrate!"

"No, let's go out for a big dinner and celebrate. Although I have long been tired of eating American food, there are not many opportunities to eat it in the future. ”

Leaving this country that he had fought for for half his life, Xue Jianbin recalled the arduous experience of coming to the United States with his wife to struggle, and he had no regrets in his heart.

"I've come, I've conquered, I've leftβ€”"

He said silently in his heart.

After taking the whole family to the restaurant for a full meal, and when he returned home to estimate the time, Xue Jianbin dialed a long-distance phone call and made a domestic call.

"What? You're going to go back to China to develop! Oh...... Working at China Motor...... I know that it is a company that makes cars, and it advertises after the news broadcast every day, and your mother and I recognize it. ”

Xue Jianbin's father received a cross-border call from his son from the United States, and the first sentence of his answer immediately made his wife, who was doing housework on the side, put down the cloth in his hand and put his head over to listen carefully to the earpiece.

Although his son Xue Jianbin studied abroad all the way, as his son and daughter-in-law worked and settled in the United States, the old couple always felt that there was something missing around them. Usually during the New Year's holidays, I see the neighbor's family reunited, although there is no son to come, but this family atmosphere is incomparable.

The two once flew to the United States to live for a while, but the language barrier and the difference in climate and diet, especially without a familiar circle of friends, living in their son's house seemed to be like a prison, and they hurriedly came back after living for less than a month.

"What's good about the United States, no one talks to each other, or lives comfortably at home, your mother and I are just working hard, and we can't go to the United States to enjoy happiness. ”

For this reason, it has been three years since my son's family returned to China to visit relatives, although there was telephone contact, but after all, it was too far away.

Usually the old couple is also nagging before going to bed, it would be nice if their son didn't go abroad to stay in China, but now they can't see their son and grandson, and they forget what they look like after a long time.

"Son, are you really going to go back to China to work, and not go back to the United States?

snatched the phone, Xue Jianbin's mother asked excitedly.

"Well, very good, your dad and I are 100% supportive of your decision to go back to China. ”

I heard from the obedient place that my son had signed a contract with a domestic company, and his salary had risen sharply, and he returned to China after completing the formalities half a month later, Xue Jianbin's mother seemed to be twenty years younger all of a sudden.

"Our China is developing very fast now, and you will definitely make a big difference when you come back. If your family comes back, your dad and I will go over to help you both cook and take care of the children, and ensure your logistics. Heck, it's actually better for us to be in China, and I've been to the United States with your dad, so it's really not good.

The ancients often said that dogs are not poor and children are not ugly. You husband and wife are college students who have been trained in China with great difficulty, and they went to the United States to contribute to others, although they get a lot of money, but they are really worthy of the country's training. A while ago, I went to the street to buy groceries, and I met your retired high school homeroom teacher, Mr. Lei, and people asked about your current situation. Although I know that you are developing well in the United States, your teacher Na Lei directly said that coming back to develop and build the motherland is the right thing for an outstanding talent like you to do. ”

At that time, my old face immediately turned red and I didn't know how to answer, Mr. Lei didn't take care of you in high school, since you became the top student in the city and were admitted to Huaqing University, you are the most proud student on his lips.

Hearing the information from the old head teacher from his mother's mouth, Xue Jianbin couldn't help but think of Teacher Lei's earnest teaching to him when he was in high school.

"If the youth is strong, China will be strong, and the future of China is in your hands. You will encounter many choices in life, may you go away for half your life and return as a young man!"

It can be said that in the formation of Xue Jianbin 's outlook on life, Mr. Lei played a very important role.

"When I returned to China this time, I immediately took the time to visit Mr. Lei, thanked him for his care and love, and took you two to Jiangzhou casually. Alas, after being displaced for half a life, I know that maintaining my heart is the most difficult thing in the world. ”

Xue Jianbin couldn't help but sigh on the phone in front of his parents.
