Chapter 637: We're definitely going to do our best
"The problem for European companies is the lack of competitors. Feng Hua said calmly:
"I have analyzed that the Industrial Revolution broke out in Europe, and Europe still had absolute technological superiority in the world until the end of the last century. Then came the rise of the United States, and Europe, due to the impact of the two world wars, the development of technology was hindered, and the flow of talent to the United States led to the United States catching up. After World War II, Japan took advantage of cheap labor and received a large amount of technology transfer from the United States and Europe, forming its own technological strength, and now it is able to compete with Europe.
However, Japan is, after all, a small country, and suppressed by the United States, its technological development is deformed, and the scale of its industry is limited, and it does not pose a serious threat to Europe. So far, Europe still has considerable advantages in many technologies, and in some areas it is still in the first position in the world, which makes Europeans too complacent and no longer have the spirit of hard work. ”
"It's true that we Europeans live too comfortably, and I can't see the fighting spirit of Xiaochen and Ling Yu in the younger generation at all. Feng Shuyi added.
"Are you criticizing me?" Feng Wenru pursed her red lips in protest, among the people here, isn't she the one who can be called the younger generation of Europe? According to her mother, she does not have the fighting spirit of her two cousins at all. Uh, well, in fact, she herself admits that she does seem too lazy compared to the two cousins in front of her, and the other cousin in China, but why does this sound so hurtful to people's self-esteem?"
Feng Xiaochen reached out and touched Feng Wenru's head, and said with a smile: "The younger generation that my aunt said does not include you. You're still working hard, I can attest to that. ”
More than ten years ago, when Feng Xiaochen came to Germany for the first time, Feng Wenru was just an 11-year-old little Lori, who looked pink and quite cute. At that time, Feng Xiaochen especially doted on this little cousin of mixed Chinese and German descent. After so many years, although Feng Wenru is already a 26-year-old girl, in Feng Xiaochen's mind, she still treats her as a little girl, and she will touch her head a few times when she has nothing to do, and feel the softness of her blonde hair.
"Hee-hee, it's still the eldest brother who is good to me. Feng Wenru grimaced at everyone, obviously enjoying Brother Lobby's spoiling of him.
"Prometheus has no incentive to improve their technology. Their technology is world-class, and even if they don't improve their technology, they can still make a lot of money, so why spend any more money on developing new technologies? But we are different, our technology is backward, not to mention the international market, even the domestic market is occupied by Western products, and if we do not develop, we will only have a dead end, so we have to work hard. Feng Xiaochen continued the topic just now.
"There are fewer and fewer young people in Europe who are willing to study engineering. Businesses don't need to improve technology, so they don't need as many technical talents. Young people in Europe are more willing to study finance and business, or art. Even some of the former engineers are now facing the threat of losing their jobs and are moving to other industries. Feng Shuyi said.
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is also what I want to do with my uncle and aunt, can you help me recruit some European engineers, of course, you need to have real talent." Whether it is to introduce them to work in China, or to stay in Europe to work for us, in short, the more such people the merrier, and we will not refuse. ”
"Stay in Europe and work for you?" Feng Shuyi said in surprise, "Do you mean, like the Hotby you said, to be your agent?"
"Of course not. Feng Xiaochen said, "In the next step, I plan to establish a research institute in Europe, put some of China's R&D projects in Europe, and use the experience and minds of European engineers to conduct research." This matter is still in motion, and it will take some effort to solve it both financially and nominally. ”
"Can't the state come forward to do this?" Yan Leqin questioned.
Feng Xiaochen smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, if things are so easy, do I still need to spend my own money to hire agents to buy those small European enterprises? Of course, I can't say that such a big country doesn't have as much money as I have, but the plan I put forward is too long-term, and even if it can be approved by the top leaders, it will be difficult for the departments below to accept it, so it will be very difficult for me to get strong financial support. This is true for the acquisition of businesses, and the same is true for the establishment of the European Research Institute.
In addition, this kind of thing is not suitable for the state to do in the first place, and the current policy of the state is to keep the light and keep it dark, and if the European Institute is established with great fanfare, it will inevitably conflict with the image of the country. ”
"So you use your own money to do things?" Feng Shuyi said, "It's no wonder that my mother praises Xiaochen all day long that you are sensible, and my mother's generation is willing to contribute everything to the country." ”
"This is the tradition of our Feng family. Yan Leqin corrected, and she said to Feng Shuyi: "When your father gave up the superior living conditions in Germany and took your two elder brothers back to China, he wanted to contribute everything to the country. Xiaochen is now able to do this, and I am very pleased. ”
Feng Xiaochen hurriedly spoke for Feng Shuyi: "Uncle and aunt have also done a lot for the country, especially my aunt, as a German, she has helped us recover a lot of losses by acting as an agent for Chinese companies in European business disputes, and the leaders of our Economic Commission have specially thanked her." ”
"Xiaochen, you're wrong, since I'm already married to your uncle, I'm naturally a Chinese daughter-in-law. This is called marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, right?" Feng Shuyi said with a smile. She really didn't say this joke, I don't know if she was nurtured by this family, or adhering to some European traditional woman's way, she really regarded herself as a Chinese in her heart, and she actually resolutely supported what Feng Xiaochen just said about digging the corners of Europe.
Feng Xiaochen smiled at his aunt, and then continued: "Relying on the little money of Chen Yu Company alone, it is completely not enough to do these things. In the next step, I plan to mobilize domestic companies to participate in this matter, including acquiring European companies and recruiting European talent. However, all of this requires the cooperation of the European side, and I will ask Bao Chengming to find a few people to come over, but when it comes to doing things, I still need the help of my uncle and aunt. ”
"Pointing is not a problem. If you can do what you want to do well, even if it is only half or even a third, the role it will play in the future is incalculable. We definitely have to go all out to do something like this. Feng Hua promised.
"Can I do something?" Yan Leqin was not willing to be lonely, and took the initiative to ask Ying. The blueprint drawn by her grandson really made her feel excited, and she couldn't hold back the urge to do something more at the age of 80.
"Mom, you're so old, it's better to take care of your old age. Feng Hua persuaded with a bitter face.
Yan Leqin glared at him and said: "I am not dazzled or deaf, what can I raise every day? I am still the chairman of the foundation run by the China Economic Commission, and the leaders of other governments don't think I'm old, but you actually think I'm old." ”
"Neither old nor old, grandma is young. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly played a round game, and then said: "Grandma, even if you don't say it, I have to ask you to come out." If we want to build this European Research Institute, if there is no honorary president, you will be reluctant to be it. ”
"That's pretty much it. Yan Leqin smiled, she actually knew that her energy was no longer enough for her to do anything, she just wanted to show her support for her grandson with practical actions. With her here to support her, Feng Hua and Feng Shuyi are afraid that they will try their best.
Everyone giggled and gossiped, and the meal lasted for three hours before they broke up. Yan Leqin wanted to ask Feng Xiaochen to go to the hotel where they stayed to continue chatting, but Feng Xiaochen said that it was not appropriate for him to leave the group for a long time, and he needed to go back to see if there was anything going on. When the group walked out, Yan Leqin pulled Feng Xiaochen aside and commanded in a low voice: "Xiaochen, Wen Ru said that he wants to go back to China to develop, you can help keep an eye on it and see if there are any good opportunities." ”
"It's not that hard. Feng Xiaochen said, "Didn't she study finance, there are currently many financial institutions in China that are expanding overseas, and there is an urgent need for financial talents with overseas experience, if Wenru is willing to go to these institutions to find a job, it should be very popular." ”
Yan Leqin said: "In addition to finding a good unit, you can help pay attention to it and see if there are suitable young people." Wenru is 26 years old this year, and it's time to find a home. ”
Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but ask, "No, Wen Ru has never met a young person she likes since she graduated from college and master's degree?" Do you still need to travel all the way back to China to find a boyfriend?"
Yan Leqin said: "I don't know about this, anyway, she is still single so far, and she has no boyfriend." It's also a good thing to go back to China to find it, in fact, I always hope that she will find a Chinese. ”
Feng Xiaochen was surprised: "Grandma, you have been in Germany for so many years, you don't still have such prejudices, right? Isn't my aunt a German? Also, Klina is also German, don't you like it too?"
Yan Leqin shook his head: "Can this be the same? Your uncle and Ling Yu are both married to German daughters-in-law, and we China will not suffer." Although Wen Ru is half German, he is also Chinese, how can he be cheaper than the Germans?"
"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen was completely speechless, an old Chinese lady who has lived in Germany for 60 years is still an old Chinese lady, Yan Leqin's values seem to be no different from He Xuezhen and Cao Jingmin.
"Okay, this matter is on me, I must find the best Chinese guy for Wenru, and the fat water can't flow into the fields of outsiders. Feng Xiaochen solemnly promised.
