181 He Haifeng's Counsel
Gao Zuxing and He Haifeng did not wait for the end of the Canton Fair, they only stayed in Guangzhou for one day before leaving. Before leaving, He Haifeng had a separate conversation with Lin Zhenhua, and he praised Lin Zhenhua's approach of taking the overall situation into account in this patent turmoil, and at the same time put forward his own opinions on some of his lack of caution.
The friendship between Lin Zhenhua and He Haifeng has now developed even deeper. Lin Fanghua is studying in Yanjing, and He Haifeng calls her to go to the house for dinner every one or two weekends to improve her food. According to the news that Lin Fanghua told Lin Zhenhua, He Lan is now in junior high school, and he often talks about Brother Lin. He Lan and Lin Fanghua have made an appointment to go home with Lin Fanghua during the summer vacation and go to Xunyang to live for a while.
"Lao He, this time, thanks to you for supporting me, otherwise, I really can't bear it." Lin Zhenhua said to He Haifeng. Indeed, when he heard that the central government was coming that day, Lin Zhenhua was indeed a little apprehensive, but when he saw He Haifeng, his heart was completely relieved, he knew that no matter how much trouble he caused, at least He Haifeng would pull him along.
He Haifeng said: "This time, you have caused a big mess. At the Canton Fair, lawyers' letters were circulated to foreign businessmen, and some people complained to the central government, saying that you had damaged the country's image. Fortunately, the leading comrades of the Central Committee are very open-minded, and they are keenly aware of the deep significance of this matter, so they sent me to follow Minister Gao to ask for a proper solution, and at the same time to use this opportunity to publicize the significance of patent protection to everyone. β
"It turns out that there is such a background." Lin Zhenhua stuck out his tongue, this was the second time he had alarmed the leadership of the Secretariat. However, he was lucky to pass the test on both occasions, not because his luck was better than others, but because he knew the context of historical development, and what he did was exactly what the central leadership was thinking about and intended to implement. Suffice it to say, he played the role of a pioneer of reform.
"Xiaolin, there is something I can't ask you at the meeting, is the patent owner of this five-blade fan your Hanhua Company, or you Lin Zhenhua himself?" He Haifeng asked. Previously, he had read the patent authorization letter of the five-blade fan, and saw that the name written on it was Lin Zhenhua.
Lin Zhenhua said with a bitter face: "Lao He, aren't you asking knowingly? β
He Haifeng said: "Even if I ask knowingly, I have to let you say it yourself." β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Then I'll make it clear, in fact, the owner of this patent is me." β
"In that case, then logically speaking, these millions of dollars in patent fees should actually belong to you personally?" He Haifeng asked keenly.
"Exactly." Lin Zhenhua said, "In fact, how can it be these millions, from last year to the first half of this year, our Hanhua company produced and exported nearly 1 million five-blade fans, and I didn't get a penny of patent fees." β
He Haifeng nodded and said, "I understand, under the current situation, you really can't get this money." However, this situation is unreasonable, these benefits should be owned by you, and they are inexplicably owned by the collective, which is not in line with the distribution principle of more work and more rewards, isn't this still a big pot of rice? β
"But do I dare to take it?" Lin Zhenhua said bitterly, "Lao He, think about it, if I propose to take away these patent fees, can I be let go of the Light Chemical Department or the Provincial Economic Commission?" β
He Haifeng said: "That's it, I'll deal with this matter." I will bring this case back to the Commission for Economic Reform, study it as a special topic, and then report a material to the Secretariat. If the central leadership approves of this form of distribution, then you can still withdraw the patent fees owed to you in the past, and you can withdraw them openly. β
"Great, Lao He, if you can really solve this problem, it will help me a lot." Lin Zhenhua said overjoyed.
He Haifeng said: "Xiaolin, I'm not here to help you, but to promote the cause of reform." There must be more than one situation like yours in the country. If you can push out your model and let everyone see that individuals can also get millions of benefits from business, then other people like you will be able to get their benefits openly. β
Lin Zhenhua said: "That's right, if the country wants to develop, it must cultivate countless entrepreneurs, and it is time for our country to protect capitalists." β
He Haifeng reprimanded angrily and funny: "Xiaolin, when can you change this problem of talking nonsense?" We are a socialist country, how can we advocate the protection of capitalists? You can say you are an entrepreneur, but you must not be a capitalist. To be a capitalist means to exploit, which is absolutely not allowed by our system. β
"Uh......" Lin Zhenhua had the heart to debate with He Haifeng, thought about it, and felt that some views were indeed too advanced, and it was not easy to force He Haifeng to accept them. The word capitalist has been extinct in China for many years, and it will take some time to bring it back to life.
"Forget it, Lao He, I didn't say it." Lin Zhenhua was defeated.
He Haifeng said: "Xiaolin, you are no longer the ordinary worker you used to be, your words and deeds will be noticed by people, so you must be more cautious and not casually express this kind of unconventional views, understand?" β
"I see." Lin Zhenhua replied obediently.
He Haifeng saw that Lin Zhenhua was honest, so he smiled again and said, "Okay, you don't have to have a burden of thoughts." You're in the limelight right now, and it's true that you're getting noticed, but as long as you're doing it right and walking right, there's no problem. β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao He, speaking of which, I'm really a little worried. You say, will the achievements I am making now make some people suffer from pink eye? What if I attract jealousy and give me some shady tricks? As you know, my emotional intelligence is relatively low. β
He Haifeng thought for a while and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this. It's true that you're very popular right now, but if you think about it, what kind of person is the person who will cause you pink eye? β
Lin Zhenhua shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand He Haifeng's words.
He Haifeng then prompted: "Do you think that people like Minister Gao, Director Hua, and Director Xie of your Light Chemical Department will have pink eye on you?" β
Lin Zhenhua said: "It's not like that, they and I are not on the same path, the better I do, the more political achievements they have, how can they be red-eyed?" β
"Yes, do you think about it again, the central leaders of the Secretariat, will they have pink eye on you?"
"That's even more impossible." Lin Zhenhua laughed, "With their identity, I'm afraid that if I make it 10 times or 100 times bigger, I won't be able to get into their eyes, right?" β
"That's right, you have to understand that no matter how big you do, in the eyes of the central leadership, you are a very good entrepreneur and their right-hand man, so no one will hit you because of this. What you have to do is to run your economy honestly and do your duty, and don't have other ambitions. You just have to do it, and I can guarantee you won't have any problems. β
"I see. Thank you Lao He for your advice. Lin Zhenhua felt relaxed.
Before that, he had always had a worry that he was getting more and more popular, and it was time for him to become a bird. Now that I think about it, this kind of worry is indeed naΓ―ve enough, people must have some purpose in attacking you, right? If you can generate foreign exchange income for the country, and you still keep to yourself and don't cause trouble, why do people attack you?
"Do a good job, I believe you will not disappoint the central leadership." He Haifeng said.
After the two of them chatted a few other words, Lin Zhenhua suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and asked He Haifeng: "By the way, Lao He, there is one more thing, I want to ask you." I don't know if you understand. β
Seeing Lin Zhenhua's serious appearance, He Haifeng couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's the matter, tell me about it." β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao He, you are in Yanjing, and you are by the leader's side, and you are well-informed. I would like to ask, do you know anything about the situation in Myanmar? β
"Burma?" The second monk He Haifeng was dumbfounded, "Xiaolin, you don't want to go to Myanmar to sell fans, do you?" β
Lin Zhenhua thought about it and felt that his problem seemed to be a bit big, so he narrowed the problem a little bit and asked: "I heard from a friend that there are some Chinese educated youths in Myanmar, do you understand this situation?" β
He Haifeng hesitated for a moment and said: "I know a little about this matter, but it involves some ridiculous things in our country in the ultra-left era, why do you ask this?" β
Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm just interested, if it doesn't involve confidentiality, I would like to hear it." β
He Haifeng said: "I don't know much about this matter. That was in the late '60s and early '70s, when the Burmese [***] group formed guerrillas in northern Myanmar to compete with the Burmese political axe army. Influenced by ultra-left ideology, our country put forward the slogan of exporting revolution and supported the struggle of the Communist Party of Burma. At that time, some Chinese intellectuals who were in Yunnan crossed the border to support the struggle of the Communist Party of Burma with the ideal of exporting revolution, and wanted to become China's Che Guevara. β
"Che Guevara?" Lin Zhenhua felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.
"Oh, he was an Argentinian who participated in the Cuban Revolution, and later traveled the world to promote revolutionary ideas, fought in guerrilla warfare in the Congo and then in Bolivia, and was arrested and killed in 1967. At that time, our country publicized his heroic deeds, so many young intellectuals fantasized about becoming a Guevara-style hero and going abroad to make contributions. He Haifeng explained.
"So, what happened to those educated youths who went to Myanmar?"
"After they arrived in Burma, they joined the local guerrilla groups and even established the China Educated Youth Brigade to fight against the Burmese political axe army. You also know that our young people grew up watching war movies, and there is really a way to fight wars. It is said that after they passed, they were very helpful to the Communist Party of Burma. However, on the other hand, the local struggle situation was also very cruel, and it is said that many educated youths died in the battle. β
"That was more than a decade ago, right? So, are these people still in Myanmar? Lin Zhenhua asked with concern.
He Haifeng nodded and said: "Later, our country adjusted its foreign policy and established a political axe connection with the Burmese political axe, so that the battle between the educated youth and the Burmese political axe army is contrary to our country's policy. Later, some educated youths returned to China, while a considerable number of them remained in the local area and started an armed separatism. There are even some people who have connections with local smuggling and drug trafficking gangs and have embarked on the road of crime. β
"I see." Lin Zhenhua replied with a heavy heart.
"What, do you have any friends who are educated youths in Yunnan?" He Haifeng asked strangely, and after asking, he denied himself, "This is impossible, those educated youths are basically between 69 and 71 years old, and your friends don't seem to be that big." β
"No, no, I just heard people talk about it at the wine table and felt a little interested." Lin Zhenhua disguised.
He Haifeng knew that Lin Zhenhua was not a targetless person, but at this time, he couldn't guess why Lin Zhenhua asked this question. He patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Xiaolin, if there is anything troublesome, don't carry it yourself, say it and everyone will help you together." β
Lin Zhenhua said: "Thank you Lao He, when something happens, I will naturally trouble you." β
While Lin Zhenhua and He Haifeng were talking about Myanmar, Lan Wufeng was trekking through an impermeable jungle behind a mountain man with a coarse cloth bun. Thanks to the fact that he had been an educated youth in Yunnan for more than a year, he was able to adapt to the tropical jungle to some extent, so he did not fall into this green ocean.
"Hou Sheng, you see, there is a boundary monument in front of you. Across this boundary monument, you will be facing Myanmar. The man in the mountain stopped, pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said to Lan Wufeng.
"Thank you, uncle." Lan Wufeng Road.
The man asked, "Housheng, what is it that is difficult for you to escape?" You have to think clearly, this step out, and then want to come back, but it will be difficult. Are you here, without parents and other relatives? β
Lan Wufeng shook his head sadly and said, "Uncle, I won't embark on this road unless I have to. Thank you, this is 300 yuan, we agreed in advance, you can accept it. β
The man took the money handed over by Lan Wufeng, counted it, tucked it into his pocket, and then said: "You cross the border from here, keep going forward, and there will be a town 20 miles away. In that town, there are educated youths who ran over back then, all of them are Chinese, if you have anything, just ask them for help. β
"Okay, I got it."
The man turned to leave, and Lan Wufeng watched his back gradually fade away, and walked towards the boundary monument.
The boundary monument stood alone in a clearing in the middle of the forest, with the same jungle and the same grass on both sides, and a faint forest twilight in the distance, Lan Wufeng didn't know what kind of world was behind the twilight.
Lan Wufeng turned around, knelt down in front of Dongfang, kowtowed three times reverently, then stood up, wiped away a tear from his face, and resolutely stepped over the boundary monument and stepped on a foreign land.
