Chapter 69: Brothers and Sisters

When he was selling cigarettes on Nanbin Street more than a year ago, Wu Xiaozhu felt like yesterday. They went out together in the morning, went to the canteen of the power machinery factory to eat together at noon, and went home in the evening to count the money together, and the brothers had nothing to say.

Now that I have made more money, the relationship is not as good as before.

Especially in the second half of the year, most of the time in Hong Kong, the two brothers get together less and leave more. And he did those things that he couldn't help if he wanted to; He said those things to others, and he couldn't even interject if he wanted to.

On the way back to the beach villa, Wu Xiaozhu couldn't hold back any longer, glanced sideways at the charter that was nearly a head higher than last year, and leaned on the steering wheel and said with emotion: "Go with my brother and smoke good friends; With my brother, sit on the crown...... San'er, don't look at us in Nanbin's hometown when we sell cigarettes all day long and shout, in fact, I really don't know what the crown looks like, now I think about it like a dream, not only see, I also have one, yesterday Xiaojun also joked that he wanted to change his mouth to go with you, smoke good friends; with you, sit on the crown. ”

Without him leading a group of brothers and sisters to resell blank SAR passes, there would be no NB Electric today.

Ground was broken that year, the equipment was put into production that year, the foreign exchange earned 18 million Hong Kong dollars that year, and nearly one million profits and taxes were paid that year! The speed of development of NB Electric is a miracle even in the Special Economic Zone, which is known for creating miracles.

Considering that after the change of registration and the division of assets, NB Electric and NB Electrician have become two de facto independent companies, and the Luohu District Government has decided to give another black license plate in recognition of NB Electric's contribution to the economic construction of the Special Economic Zone.

A black license plate is equivalent to exempting a car from import duties, and the company has plenty of funds at the end of the year, so the charter and Liu Siwei did not hesitate to buy a crown car as a reward for Wu Xiaozhu's sale of a blank special zone pass in the first half of the year.

Recalling the dream of moving the cigarettes to the warehouse of the Commercial Bureau, the charter couldn't help but joke: "Cousin, I will pay dividends in a few days, although I want to leave more funds for the development of the company, but there are still two or three hundred thousand, and I guess you don't want to go back to your hometown to build a building, and I don't look down on the kind of 125 motorcycle driven by Huang Gong'an, but the second girl of the old Chen family at the entrance of the village......"

Wu Xiaozhu felt embarrassed when he mentioned this, and immediately shook his head again and again: "Don't say it, besides, I'm in a hurry with you!" ”

"Why, your vision is high, and you can't look down on others?"

"It's not that I can't look good, it's that I don't feel as good as before."

How could the charter just let him go, and asked, "Brother, is there a comparison?" Tell me who it is, it's an outsider here anyway. ”

Wu Xiaozhu slowed down the car, turned around and asked, "You promise not to tell others." ”

"I promise."

"The custodian of the electrical assembly workshop, surnamed Zhang, is very handsome and very capable."

Sure enough, seeing that the idea changed, the charter felt a little funny, and asked casually: "Does that person have a partner?" ”

"No, I've inquired."

Looking at his excited look, the charter nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, I will ask someone to introduce me, Mr. Hu will go to my sister if he doesn't have time, there is no shame in getting married to a man and a woman getting married." ”

"Let's talk about it after the New Year," Wu Xiaozhu obviously had his own plan, and immediately changed the topic, and asked with a puzzled expression: "San'er, you said during the meal what exchange agreement East German scientists signed with us, I don't understand, they are scientists, and they also represent the country, how can they put down their posture and communicate with us?" ”

"It's not surprising, they like to be second, they don't like to be compared to others, whether it's in sports or science."

"I remember what you said, no matter what games you participate in, the Soviet Union has won the most gold medals, and the GDR is almost always the second, but what does this have to do with our laboratory?

"Because we have a world-first discovery in our lab."

No. 1 in the world, Wu Xiaozhu was happy and asked curiously: "Discovery, is it the same as the panel patent, I am alone, and there is no semicolon?" ”

The charter had to patiently explain: "Discovery and invention are two different things, discovery refers to what already exists, but no one has noticed it before, and it has a great chance of it; Invention is a kind of creation, which has not existed before, and is a completely new thing. As for whether it is a little more powerful in discovery or a little more powerful in invention, this is really impossible to measure, in short, it is very remarkable. ”

"How great is that?"

It was really Xiucai who couldn't explain it clearly, so he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "In the past, we had to pay for our own research, but after this remarkable discovery, experts and professors from several universities in Hong Kong were willing to study with us without giving them money. In addition, our NB laboratory can also accept donations, and even the Hong Kong government will provide a research and development fund after the Chinese New Year. ”

"The Hong Kong government gives us money?"

"To be precise, it should be given to the NB laboratory, which is earmarked for special purposes, and needs to be audited every year, and should not be diverted to research on other topics."

"Why does the Hong Kong government give us money?"

"Because we are a Hong Kong company, in other words, this amazing discovery is also a Hong Kong discovery, which can increase Hong Kong's international visibility and improve Hong Kong's status in the international academic community. What's more, millions of Hong Kong dollars are a drizzle for them, not even a tenth of the funding for those university laboratories. ”

The discovery of the giant magnetoresistive effect is undoubtedly the most proud stroke of the charter, and after a pause, he continued: "In addition to the Hong Kong government and several universities in Hong Kong, the American International Business Machines Corporation will also provide a grant, but they are conditional, and they will share the research results in the future." ”

No one knows the importance of intellectual property rights better than NB Electric's shareholders, and if it weren't for the nearly 100 shape design and utility patents in the articles of association, NB Electrician's switch panel would not have been able to sweep the international market like it is now, let alone go public next year.

Thinking of sharing the results with others in the future, Wu Xiaozhu was anxious: "San'er, one trick is eaten all over the world, and if you get a little cheap now, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!" We don't have enough money, so don't ask for funding from that American company. ”

The charter asked with a smirk, "How many of you have?" ”

Facts have proved that Ding Wenming's investment in stocks is not wrong at all, as the central government adjusts its financial policy, tightens monetary policy, and compresses infrastructure investment, people who have just experienced a sharp rise in prices have turned their attention to treasury bills and stocks, trying to maintain or make profits in this way, so that in the first half of the year, the Xiangxing Development Stocks, which were also subscribed by party members and cadres, suddenly became popular. Now the black market trading price has reached more than 22 shares, which has fully doubled.

Concealing that the charter was a common decision of everyone, Wu Xiaozhu didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only ask: "How much do you want?" ”

Knowing that they have a small coffer, the charter said lightly: "If you want to make that discovery into an invention, it will take about three to five hundred million dollars, and it will take about ten years." ”

"So much!"

The gap is too big, and I can't help if I want to, which makes Wu Xiaozhu, who wanted to come to the snow, very disappointed.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when they returned to the beach house, and tomorrow weekend, Wu Xiaolian and Chen Baolin, who had been living here, were still watching TV in the living room.

"The second sister called and asked when you would arrive in Hujiang, and she was ready to wait for you to go back to your hometown together."

Wu Xiaolian is much more popular than Chen Baolin, and whenever she has time, she helps take Xiao Jiahui, and when she sees the charter walking in with a flushed face, she knows that he has been drinking, and immediately gets up to make tea.

"Got it, I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

"By plane?" Wu Xiaolian asked with envy.

"Well," he took the teacup and said with a wry smile of helplessness: "If the visa is processed quickly, I may have to go to Germany before the year, and my eldest brother-in-law will not be able to go back, so I will have to trouble you to stay at home with my sister for a few more days." ”

Thinking that Li Xiaoshan had just come back from helping Zhang Lin apply for a passport in Hujiang, Chen Baolin asked coldly: "San'er, do you really plan to let Xiao Lin go abroad?" ”

"yes, it can't be delayed any longer, it has to be settled before I go to Germany."

On the grounds that she was not highly educated and could not convince the public, Zhang Lin was forced to make up her mind to study abroad, and to represent the Zhang family in the future to take charge of the company, which was the only way that the charter could think of for her to avoid the turmoil.

The same name is not the same life, he is messing around in the electronics division, but Zhang Lin wants to prepare for taking over the company in the future, Chen Baolin is very uncomfortable, and said sourly: "San'er, do you really plan to let Zhang Lin take charge of the company in the future?" ”

"Can't you?"

Although the chief engineer is self-appointed, he has been recognized by almost everyone, not to mention that he is also the largest shareholder of NB Electric, Chen Baolin no longer dares to treat him as a child, sighing and saying: "You are the largest shareholder, you say yes, of course." ”

The charter was unwilling to dwell on this issue, so he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Sister Lin, what about Brother Wenming?" ”

Speaking of Ding Wenming, who hid from him all day long, Chen Baolin was angry, pouted and muttered: "His legs haven't grown on me, how do I know where he goes." ”

Everyone is matching, and their affairs have become an open secret of NB Electric, thinking of a pair of confirmed relationships tonight, and one has a crush, the charter can't help but quip: "Sister Lin, when will the matter of the two of you drag on?" Uncle Chen and Uncle Ding asked one phone call a day, and if there was no substantive progress, they had to come over and tie you two up and send them to the cave room. ”

Shame on the dead, Chen Baolin said hatefully: "They messed up the mandarin duck score, and you also coaxed it." Let's put this aside today, even if there is only one man left in the world, I will not marry him! ”

"The right person, childhood sweetheart, aren't you two quite suitable?"

"There are so many suitable people, why is it him?"

It was the greatest pleasure to make her angry, and looking at her gritted teeth, he asked, "Then why can't it be him?" ”

In terms of appearance, although Ding Wenming is not a Yushu Linfeng, he is also a handsome guy; In terms of achievements, he is now the general manager of the electronics division, although he is not as prosperous as the electrical division and NB electrician, and the annual output value is several million; And as the charter says, the right family, childhood sweethearts.

In comparison, those who have just come out of the ivory tower are not enough to see. Why can't it be him? Even Chen Baolin couldn't figure out this question.
