Liu Xianghai is leaving.

Zhang Zhifang only stayed at the Hanhua factory for a few hours before leaving, and a certain navy department stationed in Jiangnan Province sent a jeep to pick him up. Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng stayed in the Hanhua factory to help Liu Xianghai deal with some related matters. They stayed here, and they also had the intention of supporting Liu Xianghai, if any of the unsightly leaders of the Hanhua Factory dared to make things difficult for Liu Xianghai, the military would have to come forward to settle the matter.

However, this concern proved to be completely unnecessary. After learning Liu Xianghai's true identity, the factory director and secretary came to the door one after another and greeted Liu Xianghai with warmth. Chang Qingbo has already revealed to the factory director Chen Weiguo, after Liu Xianghai goes back, at least the official will be reinstated, and the administrative level is the deputy division, which is equivalent to the deputy department at the local level, half a level higher than Chen Weiguo's level. Fortunately, in the past ten years, Hanhua Factory has not been sorry for Liu Xianghai, so everyone looks good on face.

Qin Ying was busy packing and packing the family's things, preparing to move her family back to the military industrial base on the outskirts of Shanghai. After staying in Jiangnan Province, which is relatively backward economically and culturally, for so many years, Qin Ying has indeed begun to miss the prosperous life of Greater Shanghai.

The military-industrial base used to be her sad place, where her father was killed by the rebels. But so much time has passed, and even the most painful experience has been diluted, and she is really a little homesick. She lost her mother at an early age and had no other siblings, and after her father's death, she had no immediate family in Shanghai. But her best friends, classmates, colleagues, neighbors, etc. are still there, and Shanghai is still her home.

Qin Bo and Qin Tao sisters and brothers were even more excited, their parents had never told them about the past, they had always thought that their father was just a carpenter, and now they suddenly heard that their father was actually the chief engineer of a naval research institute, and their mother was also from a famous family, and their grandfather, who had never met, was once a top expert, and the young brother and sister only felt like a dream.

The two of them grew up so big that they had only been to Nandu, and at that time they felt how happy they would be if they could live in a big city like Nandu. Who knows, now that the identities of their parents have been made public, they are about to go to live in a megacity like Shanghai. Did you hear clearly, it's not Nandu, it's Shanghai! Shanghai is 10 times larger than Nandu!

The Naval Research Institute specially sent a large truck with a load of eight tons from Shanghai to help Liu Xianghai move, which was also a common practice in those years. After the truck arrived, dozens of workers from the Hanhua factory came, noisily helping Liu Xianghai's family load furniture and luggage and other things onto the car, and Liu Xianghai and Qin Ying had no chance to step forward to help.

At that time, people didn't have much property, but as the saying goes, a broken family is worth a thousand dollars, and if you just pack it up, you can also have half a carload of things.

The people who came to help move the house, while working, said words of blessing to Liu Xianghai and his family. Zhong Rulin, an old worker, took Liu Xianghai's hand and said, "Old Hu, ah, no, Chief Engineer Liu, I just heard that you and Master Qin are both talents of the country!" Alas, it's a pity that we have been nested in this small factory for so many years. I didn't know who you were, and I didn't do you any favors. Now that you're leaving, let's do our part when it comes to moving. ”

Liu Xianghai said movingly: "Master Zhong, over the years, Qin Ying and I have been in the factory, thanks to the care of the masters, I am ashamed, I have not made any contribution to the factory, and I am leaving." ”

"Why didn't you contribute?" Zhong Rulin said, "Xiaolin told me that the last 210,000 ice machine tackled the key problem was your credit." Now our factory gets 3 million business, and the workers can get bonuses every month, which is all your credit. ”

Liu Xianghai waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." ”

Qin Ying came and went in the crowd, busy distributing cigarettes and candy to everyone, with a joyful smile on her face. For everyone who blesses her, she sincerely invites everyone to go to her house if they have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, and have a light meal.

Qin Bo and Qin Tao sisters and brothers were surrounded by a group of friends, leaving each other's mailing addresses and making an appointment to write letters to each other. The younger brother also made countless promises, threatening to send chocolates and all kinds of novelties to everyone when he arrived in Shanghai.

The truck pulled Liu Xianghai's family's property and left, and rushed back to Shanghai for thousands of miles. In fact, this car is in tatters, and it is estimated that it is not worth the fuel money of this round trip even if it is all sold. But everyone does this, the fuel cost is reimbursed by the government, and the broken pot is personal. At that time, the system was like this, a unit could spend a few hundred yuan for an employee to send a car, but it could not spend dozens of yuan on a settling-in allowance for him.

The people who helped and watched dispersed one after another, and Qin Ying and a pair of children were also invited to eat at home by good colleagues, this was not a banquet, but because their pots and bowls were all transported away, and they couldn't start a group.

Liu Xianghai did not leave, he and Lin Zhenhua stood in front of the empty room, silent for a long time. Neither of them knew what to say.

"Xiaolin, why don't you speak?" Liu Xianghai finally couldn't hold back and broke the silence.

Lin Zhenhua smiled bitterly: "Chief Engineer Liu, what do you want me to say?" The events of the past two days have been too dramatic. I knew you weren't an ordinary person, but I still couldn't imagine that you would be such a great god. ”

Liu Xianghai said: "Xiaolin, if you still treat me as a friend, just call me as before, just call me Lao Liu." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "How dare I, it's too presumptuous to call you Lao Hu for two years." You're a senior after all. ”

Liu Xianghai patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Xiaolin, if you don't mind, you should treat me as your friend." To be honest, if it had been 20 years ago, I probably wouldn't have taken a worker like you seriously. But after more than ten years of ups and downs, I have understood a truth, fame and status are not as good as a friend in distress. Although you and I have only been dating for two years, I regard you as my closest friend, and I don't know what you think. ”

"Me too." Lin Zhenhua said.

"That's it, since you treat me as a friend, call me Lao Liu in the future."

"Okay, then I'll dare to call you Lao Liu." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Alas, I don't know if this will break my life." ”

Liu Xianghai scolded with a smile: "You Xiaolin! It's always so oily. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "No way, the generated surname can't be changed." ”

Liu Xianghai said: "By the way, Xiaolin, I've been busy with the transfer for the past two days, and I didn't bother to talk to you." Now that I'm about to leave, I want to ask, how is your company doing now? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "The business situation is very gratifying, and I won't tell you that our profit is expected to exceed 8 million next year." ”

"So many?" Liu Xianghai asked with some surprise, "Xiaolin, I really can't see that you still have such a business mind." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "However, this is only a preliminary estimate. We are now playing a market opportunity, our product design concept is relatively new, to meet the needs of the people, so the sales situation is very gratifying. Based on my understanding of the domestic market, next summer, there will be at least 10 products on the market that imitate our appearance, and we will have a fierce battle to fight at that time. ”

"How are you going to deal with it?" Liu Xianghai asked with interest.

Lin Zhenhua said: "My method is to keep introducing new products, and always go one step ahead of others. Our next step will be a miniature electric fan for children, as well as a natural wind fan that can be used at a constant speed. However, there is not much room for innovation in the electric fan, and I plan to work for another year next year to earn the first pot of gold, and then consider switching to other products. ”

Liu Xianghai took out a stack of papers from a handbag he was carrying, handed it to Lin Zhenhua, and said, "Xiaolin, in the past two years, you have helped me a lot, and I don't know how to thank you." In the past two days, while I have free time, I have drawn a picture, you can take it and take a look, maybe it will help you somewhat. ”

Lin Zhenhua took the stack of paper and unfolded it to see that it was the fan blade of an electric fan. Unlike the common electric fans on the market, this one has five leaves and a slight difference in shape. Next to the blade, the relevant shape parameters are written, and at the level of Lin Zhenhua, it can be easily molded and manufactured.

"Lao Liu, what does this mean?" Lin Zhenhua was a little puzzled.

Liu Xianghai said: "This is a design of an electric fan that I figured out. The wind blown by the traditional three-bladed electric fan is relatively hard, and after blowing for a long time, people will feel uncomfortable. The wind blown out by this five-blade electric fan I designed is much softer and has the effect of a natural cool breeze. ”

Lin Zhenhua was stunned and said, "No, Lao Liu, you even know this?" How do you know that the wind blowing from your five-bladed electric fan will be softer? ”

Liu Xianghai smiled slightly: "Xiaolin, don't forget that I'm engaged in propellers." To put it bluntly, an electric fan like the one you made, I know the wind direction and speed when I look at the leaves. I designed this, the curve of the leaf is precisely calculated. Although I haven't tested it myself, I can guarantee that this fan will definitely be able to meet the requirements of softness, silence, and power saving. ”

Lin Zhenhua laughed: "Lao Liu, you said that you, a person who builds nuclear submarine propellers, changed your career to design fan blades, is this considered overkill?" ”

Think about it, the requirements of the submarine's propeller and fan blades are really no different, they are all silent, continuously variable speed, and low energy consumption...... It's just that which fan factory can afford to hire a designer of this level?

"Lao Liu, you gave me this design, it's not a leak, right?"

", what kind of secrets can this leak, it's very different from the thruster."

"Then I'll use it boldly and with confidence." Lin Zhenhua said.

Liu Xianghai said: "Alas, useless is a scholar, and I can't think of anything to give you, that is, a little technology, it just so happens that you are making a fan, which is a little related to my major." If you think this drawing is useful, use it, and if it doesn't work, forget it. ”

Lin Zhenhua stuffed the drawings into his carry-on bag like a hidden treasure, and then said: "How can it be useless, this is the cutting-edge technology of military industry to civilian use, and I will make a fortune by pointing to it for the rest of my life." ”

Liu Xianghai looked at Lin Zhenhua's exaggerated appearance, shook his head, and said, "Xiaolin, there is another sentence, I also want to talk to you." You are a very smart person and have a great sense of justice, but you have a shortcoming, that is, you are a little too ...... in terms of economics Paranoid. His last word was obviously deliberated, for fear that Lin Zhenhua would feel uncomfortable.

Lin Zhenhua didn't have any taboos, he replied: "Lao Liu, in fact, you can say it directly, you want to say that I am too greedy for money, right?" ”

Liu Xianghai thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem right to say that you are greedy for money. You are generous to your friends, and you are not extravagant in your own life. It can be said that you earn a lot of money, but you don't spend much, but when it's a little difficult, you often donate generously and don't feel distressed when you spend a lot of money. From this point of view, you really can't be said to be a money-grubber. ”

"Thank you, Chief Engineer Liu, for your compliment." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

Liu Xianghai also smiled slightly, and then said: "However, you run Hanhua Industrial Company and insist on owning your own shares. Now that the market has become so big, you still want to continue to grow bigger, which makes me not understand. If you continue to do this, what will be your goal in the end? I think that it is enough to earn money to a certain extent, you are still young, if you can use more of your energy on scientific research, it will be beneficial to the country and the nation. ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Lao Liu, do you think the money I earned is enough?" ”

"Why, isn't that enough?" Liu Xianghai asked, "If you do what you say, the profit of Hanhua Industry can reach 8 million next year, and you will have 2.4 million under your personal name, you will be a big capitalist." Do you still want to earn 24 million? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "My ideal is more than 24 million. And 200 million, or 20 billion. ”

Liu Xianghai said: "You are crazy, what do you want so much money for?" ”

Lin Zhenhua replied seriously: "Lao Liu, I'm not crazy. You were right about one thing just now, 2.4 million is certainly enough for me personally. In fact, I don't have too high requirements for the quality of life, and my only pursuit in life is to eat better. In fact, you can also see that the purpose of my money is not to spend for myself, but to do something. ”

"What to do?" Liu Xianghai asked.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "I can't tell what I want to do now, but, Lao Liu, you believe that such a thing, every Chinese has a dream of becoming a strong country in their hearts." ”

"Dream of a strong country!" Liu Xianghai muttered the word, nodded and said, "Xiaolin, I probably understand what you want to do." I'm leaving soon, and I hope you can keep your dream of a strong country and not be swayed by the world. There is one thing, I will only tell you one person, I went back this time, and the position given to me by the research institute is the director and chief engineer of the Propulsion System Engineering Institute, which should have some real power. If you encounter any trouble, you can ask someone to send me a letter, and I will try to help you solve it. Of course, the ugly words are said in the front, if it is a violation of law and discipline, then I can't help. ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Lao Liu, do you think I look like a person who violates the law and discipline?" ”

Liu Xianghai also laughed: "I'm just giving you a preventive shot in advance." ”

Lin Zhenhua looked around at no one and said, "Lao Liu, let's go into the house, I have something to say to you in private." ”

Liu Xianghai was inexplicable and led Lin Zhenhua into the empty house. As soon as he entered the house, Lin Zhenhua took out a large boxy paper bag from his satchel, handed it to Liu Xianghai, and said, "Old Liu, you are leaving soon, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." ”

Liu Xianghai took the paper bag and asked, "What kind of play, it looks like a few bars of soap?" ”

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "That's right, it's soap." ”

Liu Xianghai weighed the weight of the paper bag and didn't feel like soap. When he opened the paper bag, he couldn't help but be startled, and there were ten stacks of great unity wrapped in it, a full 10,000 yuan.

"Xiaolin, what the hell are you doing?" Liu Xianghai reprimanded in a low voice, with such a large sum of money, Rao is a big bull like him, and he is also a little frightened.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao Liu, you have the technology to help me design such a good five-blade fan." I'm not as skilled as you, and now I'm so poor that I only have money left, so I can only give you some money as a gift. Don't be disgusted. ”

"No, no, no." Liu Xianghai said, "Xiaolin, what are you kidding, this is 10,000 yuan, how can I receive such a heavy gift?" ”

As he spoke, he wrapped the money again, and had to return the fortress to Lin Zhenhua. Lin Zhenhua pressed his hand and said, "Lao Liu, you know my economic situation, this 10,000 yuan is nothing to me, but for you, it can come in handy." ”

"Qin Ying and I both have salaries, what do I want so much money for?" Liu Xianghai is really a little anxious, who is left behind, someone sends 10,000 yuan for no reason, then he has to be scared.

It can be calculated that the salary of ordinary workers in that year was about 50 yuan, and 10,000 yuan was equivalent to 200 months' salary. Converted to today, the salary of ordinary workers is calculated at 2,000 yuan, and 200 months is 400,000 yuan. No matter how good a friend is, who would dare to accept 400,000 yuan out of thin air?

Lin Zhenhua was determined to ask Liu Xianghai to accept it, and he said firmly: "Lao Liu, do you think I'm a sycophant?" Did I send you money because I fancy your identity? ”

"Of course not!" Liu Xianghai replied categorically, "Xiaolin, I know who you are, when I was still a wood molder, you gave me a computer, which is also thousands of dollars." ”

"That's it, since you were able to accept the computer I gave back then, why can't you accept this money now?"

"It's different." Liu Xianghai said, "After all, computers are used for research, and it is really helpful to me." And the books you bought for me are all spent in dollars, which is also very expensive. I've taken it all. But I don't need the money. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao Liu, you must accept this money." If you go back to Shanghai this time, it is equivalent to building a new home, and many places will cost money. You and Senior Sister Qin don't have any savings, I know that. The salary level of the research department, IMHO, is not as good as our Hanhua Machinery Factory. The current situation is that those who build missiles are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs, how much can you earn? ”

"It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn, you just need to spend enough." Liu Xianghai said, "Qin Ying and I are not people who pursue a luxurious life, we can live on our own salaries." ”

Lin Zhenhua firmly stuffed the money into Liu Xianghai's hand and said, "Lao Liu, to paraphrase what you just said, if you take my Xiaolin as a friend, just accept the money." I can guarantee that this money will be able to play a bigger role in your hands than in my hands. ”

The two of them pushed for a long time, and in the end, Lin Zhenhua said: "Lao Liu, let's do it, let's compromise." This money is what I lent you, you go back this time, the situation over there is a smear, you don't know anything, you have a little money in your hand, and you can save the emergency at a critical time. As for when to return me, you don't have to think about it first, you designed a fan for me, if this five-blade fan can sell well, I will give you a technical consultation fee, and it will be deducted from this 10,000 yuan. What do you think of this? ”

Liu Xianghai looked at Lin Zhenhua's eyes, sighed for a long time, and said, "Okay, I'll take it first, maybe when it's critical, I can really save the emergency." However, Kobayashi, you remember, I will not violate any principles because of this, if...... Alas, forget it, I know that you Xiaolin are not that kind of person. ”

Liu Xianghai originally wanted to say that if Lin Zhenhua wanted to open the back door or do something else with him because he sent money, he would never agree. But thinking of his friendship with Lin Zhenhua in the past two years, knowing that Lin Zhenhua sent money this time, it was indeed selfless, if he said it too seriously, or resolutely refused to accept the money, it would inevitably hurt Lin Zhenhua's heart. Lin Zhenhua is right, this 10,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for him Liu Xianghai, but for Lin Zhenhua, it is just a small meaning.

Liu Xianghai finally left, and the factory sent a jeep to send his family, along with Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng, who stayed with him, to the train station, where they boarded the train and went back to Shanghai.

Lin Zhenhua didn't go to the station to see him off, he knew that the friendship between himself and Liu Xianghai didn't need such an expression.

At this time, Lin Zhenhua was taking Chu Hongyang, Peng Shaozhe and several other workers to ride the Jiefang brand truck in the factory and run to the direction of Xunyang.

The Department of Light Chemical Industry has given him a clear answer, agreeing that the Hanhua Industrial Company will rent the plant and equipment of the Xunyang Bicycle Factory and hire the workers of the Xunyang Bicycle Factory in the name of outsourcing services. The specific conditions need Lin Zhenhua to meet with Xunyang Bicycle Factory to discuss in detail.
