Chapter 244: Wan An's Son
"Okay, let's not talk about this issue today, I'm very happy to meet you compatriots, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, let's go, I want to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, let's go to dinner together!"
Wan An is indeed very happy, don't look at his current high social status in the United States, but in this white supremacy country, he has never been able to truly integrate into the upper class, and the other party has all kinds of prejudices against him, even his subordinates, sometimes they are dissatisfied with him for reusing his son.
Who does not need to use your own son for your own company? When you retire, this company will be your son's, this is a matter of course!
Because of the huge cultural differences, Wan An sometimes has a sense of loneliness, and today he met several compatriots from Hong Kong Island in the mainland, and even if they only met him, the blood connection still made him feel more cordial, even more than those white subordinates who had followed him for decades.
Liu Lang didn't expect to meet Wan An, a legendary old man, today, according to the normal historical trajectory, he will experience the ups and downs of his life in the next three years, from stepping on the peak, and then falling into hell in an instant.
As a Chinese, and a patriotic Chinese, he will definitely remind him to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, but it does not seem easy, the other party is a strong-willed person, in fact, the so-called strong-willed, in a sense, is stubborn, even paranoid, and this quality can be seen in all successful people.
Some people may say that this kind of paranoia is a good quality and an indispensable condition for success, but this is actually a wrong view, because these paranoids that are known by others have succeeded in the end, but there are countless people who have failed because of their own paranoia, but these people are not known.
Wan An is a paranoid person, and he has a reason to be paranoid, because he succeeded, didn't he?
But his success is a technical success, because he built a machine that can do word processing, but in terms of the future development of computers, he lacks a keen eye, and there is still a certain gap with those world-class entrepreneurs.
But high-tech companies are different from traditional industries, once they lag behind in technology and have not changed within a year, it can basically be said that they have been eliminated by the market, in the previous life, I don't know how many such companies still think they are at the peak, but with the emergence of a new technology, their response is only a little slower, the result is either bankruptcy or acquisition, the most typical enterprises are Nokia and Motorola, two mobile phone companies, are in the most glorious period by Apple's smartphones defeated.
What can be done to make this stubborn old man change his mind?
Liu Lang has no plans for the time being.
When Liu Lang returned to the Olympic Village, it was already more than six o'clock, and Lu Mingzhi was a little angry when he saw Liu Lang coming back at this time.
"Liu Lang, you little guy is really not good, you went out at eight o'clock in the morning, and you didn't come back until now, this is not domestic, this is the United States, Americans have guns, do you know? What if something really happens?"
Lu Mingzhi said loudly, although Sun Hu and Mo Lan are two people to protect Liu Lang, but the gun doesn't matter if you are a master or not, it will be the end of the body.
"Director Lu, you don't have to worry, with me, Liu Lang won't have any problems!"
Mo Lan said coldly, she was not afraid of Lu Mingzhi, the director of the Education Committee.
"Don't be afraid? Who is Liu Lang? That's a talent cultivated by the state, if something really happens, you and I, no one can afford to pay the responsibility!"
Lu Mingzhi was not to be outdone.
"Grandpa Lu, don't be angry, this matter is not good for me, next time I go out again, I will definitely come back early!"
Liu Langgang hurriedly dissuaded the two.
"Little Liu Lang, it's not that Grandpa Lu is angry, it's Grandpa Lu who is worried about you! As long as you know that you are wrong, then correct it, don't go out for so long next time, you know?"
Lu Mingzhi treats Liu Lang as his own relative, and only cares about this child.
"Well, don't worry, I got it!"
Liu Lang nodded.
"Okay, then let's go back and rest!"
There is still a week to go before the competition starts, Liu Lang has also planned not to go anywhere in the next few days, to review in the dormitory, must win the first place in the competition, this is the first time he has the desire to defeat the opponent, not to compete for the ranking, just to let those foreigners who look down on the Chinese see, you self-righteous guys are just like that.
However, early the next morning, someone still came to the door, it was not Huo Tianting and Mu Xiaohu, it was Wan He, the son of Wan An.
"Liu Lang, I was in a hurry yesterday, after you left, my father specially asked me to buy a gift for you!"
Yesterday, Huo Tianting gave the other party four Transformers models, and it seems that now Wan An is here to return the favor.
Wan He took out a delicate box from his pocket and handed it to Liu Lang.
"It's a gold watch again!"
Liu Lang almost didn't laugh, it seems that the Chinese people have a soft spot for this kind of glittering watch, and they sent gold watches to the south of Huo Yingnan on Hong Kong Island, and now Wan An has given himself a gold watch, even though it is very valuable, but this thing is useless to himself at all.
However, this is also a thought of the other party, and the price of a gold watch is much higher than that of four models.
"Brother Wan, thank you, and thank you, Mr. Wan!"
Liu Lang also took the watch unceremoniously.
"Xiao Liu Lang, you said yesterday that personal computers are the development trend of the computer industry in the future, do you have any reason?"
Wan He didn't leave after giving the gift, but sat down and chatted with Liu Lang.
"It's easy! because I like it!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Like?
The other party was puzzled.
"Hehe, Brother Wan, as long as I like it, I will buy it, if I don't like it, then I won't buy it, this is the most basic attribute of any commodity, and it is also the most important reason, don't you say?"
Liu Lang said with a smile.
"Oh.........! If you like it, you can buy it, if you don't like it, you don't buy it, yes, yes, that's it!"
Wan He reacted.
"Brother Wan, the computer made by Apple and the computer produced by you are put together, which one do you say you like?"
Liu Lang asked again.
"This ...... It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
He didn't answer directly.
"Just look at your expression, it's better to have an Apple computer, I think it's the same, for an ordinary family, they don't want to put three bulky big guys on the table, the computer is convenient for people to use, and the simpler it is, the better!"
"Liu Lang, you are true, but I think the price is still very important, Apple's computer price is too expensive, not to mention individuals, even ordinary companies can't afford it, and it's almost impossible to promote!"
"Hehe, Brother Wan, you underestimate the development of science and technology, take thirty years ago, how big was the computer at that time? I'm afraid that a room can't fit in, but now it's shrunk to a table and can be put down, what about the computer in the future? It's likely to be like a watch to carry in your hand!"
"Hehe, Xiao Liu Lang, your imagination is too rich, it's impossible!"
"Impossible? I think in 10 years at the slowest there will be a computer as thick as a book, and then people will put it in their bags and carry it on their backs, and they can take it out and use it anytime and anywhere, believe it or not?"
Liu Lang showed a "fierce" appearance at this time, which frightened Wan He all over.
"Why is Liu Lang's expression so similar to his father?"
Liu Lang changed from a "fierce" appearance to a child in an instant, so much so that Wan He felt that it was his illusion just now.
