For the shareholders of NB Electric Group, the Chinese New Year's Eve is always the busiest day.

Liu Siwei, who has always been "ignorant", suddenly became sensible, and early in the morning he entered the office of the chairman of the board of directors on the sixth floor of the group headquarters, which had been empty for more than a year, and took over the affairs of the group together with Ding Wenming, director and executive vice president of the group. CEO Wu Jinhua, Vice President Xu Sangcheng, Chief Financial Officer Yan Xiushi and other group executives went back to spend time with their families without exception.

The second lady, Zhang Lin, also took over the affairs of the NB Electrician Headquarters with the assistance of Lin Huixian, the design director of NB Electrician, as the assistant to the chairman of the board of directors.

As the first shareholder of NB Electric, the articles of association can not be idle.

At 10 o'clock at noon, after having lunch with the researchers on the campus of the University of Science and Technology on the Clear Water Bay Peninsula, he rushed to the Xiangjiang Experimental Center non-stop to participate in the experimental center and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of NB Electric, which started on time at 3:30 p.m.

Most of the staff of NB Electrical Appliances are old faces, and the colleagues in the laboratory center are engaged in research, without so much red tape, symbolically toasted a few glasses of wine, ate a few bites of food, and accompanied by Wu Yingzhe, the assistant to the CEO of the group who has been waiting for a long time, rushed to the last stop of today: NB Electric's new security factory.

Lin Zhiguo and other Hong Kong bodyguards are on vacation, and there are only two people left by his side, Yang-Joseph and Lian Yuangao, who are on duty during the Spring Festival, as soon as Lian Yuangao opens the side door of the business car, Huang Li'an is panting and chasing out.

The charter leaned on the car door and quipped: "I drank well with Eagle, Lao Xiong, and Lao Zhang, what are you doing when you run out, are you still planning to care about me for the New Year's money when you are so adult?" ”

Huang Li'an raised her hand to say hello to her old friend Wu Yingzhe, who entered NB Electric seven years ago. Then he urged him to get into the car. While saying confidently, "I don't want it." But my son wants it, your uncle is in vain? ”

"Xia Yao is responsible for this matter, and I don't need you to remind me."

"It's pretty much the same," Huang Li'an smiled, and then turned around and said, "Let's go, President Wuda, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

Although they are all NB Electric Phase I personnel, they are completely two systems. One is engaged in technology, the other is engaged in management, only his wife Lin Huixian is a wonderful, spanning the two systems of technology and management.

In contrast, Wu Yingzhe's relationship with Boss Zhang is far less intimate than that of them, who are engaged in technology, and they usually have very little contact, and it is rare to see each other in person, and most of them are business, so they rarely joke with the charter like him.

was suddenly ridiculed, he was really a little unaccustomed. Stunned for a moment, he pointed to the business car and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Are you going to come with us? ”

"I am not only a shareholder of NB Electrician and NB Electrical, but also the chief engineer of NB Electronic Glass Shell Branch, and even my wife insists on her post, can I not go?"

The charter was happy, and he got into the business car and said with a smile: "It seems to make some sense, get in the car, don't waste time." ”

There is only one full-time driver in the experimental center who is on annual leave, and the car can only be driven by Lian Yuangao, who is more familiar with the road, seeing him skillfully turning the steering wheel, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Brother Lian, sister-in-law and children are still used to living in the south, right?" ”

Before the official start of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, General Teng, then commander of the Guangdu Military Region and commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, transferred a number of fresh troops from the major military regions to strengthen the forces of the Eastern Front, and at the same time, it also had the intention of letting them give their respective military regions a forward station.

It was at that time that Zhang Yuanchao rushed to the front line from the Jiangnan Military Region, and when he arrived in Hanoi with the large army of the Guangdu Military Region that fired the first shot, Lian Yuan Gaogang responded to the call of "self-defense and counterattack, defend the homeland and defend the country" and prepared to join the army.

One participated in the attack on all fronts, and the other participated in the "two-mountain round battle," and although they were from the same unit, Lian Yuangao had never met the old battalion commander Zhang Yuanchao, and he had never even met Li Xiaoshan before coming to the Special Administrative Region.

Age and seniority are there, and the charter is best called that.

But with such the most appropriate title, Lian Yuangao still felt a little flattered, after all, the difference in status was too great. For example, the German colleague in the co-pilot was said to have been responsible for the safety of East German leaders; For example, Lin Zhiguo, who has just taken a vacation, was a senior inspector of the Hong Kong Police Force before working as a bodyguard for the son-in-law of the old battalion commander's family.

Thinking of his daughter-in-law's ecstatic appearance when she just walked into her new home, Lian Yuangao said with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, my family is facing the loess with his back to the sky in his hometown, and he can't even eat meat a few times a year. ”

The salary of soldiers is not high, and most of the rural soldiers have a hard time, and it is the same if they are promoted.

The last time I went to Changshan Cemetery to sweep the tombs, the caretaker of the cemetery introduced that in the past ten years, more than half of the martyrs have never had their families go to pay respects. It's not that I don't want to go, it's that it's too far to go.

The charter sighed secretly and muttered to himself, "It's good to get used to, it's good to get used to it." ”

Every festive season, Huang Li'an thought that he thought of his father, and immediately smiled: "Director Lian, your name is good, Lian Yuan is high...... Even the plaintiff...... As a plaintiff in a row, with you in our NB Electric, then we will only have the share of others in the future. ”

Wu Yingzhe laughed quickly, held on to the car seat and said breathlessly: "Director Lian is still a little late, if he had come two months earlier, the lawsuit in the United States would not have been fought, let alone be a defendant like now." ”

The NB-Linux operating system was suspected of infringement and was sued by UNIX.

However, this lawsuit will not affect the reputation of NB Lab, and even increase the popularity of NB Lab to a certain extent. And judging from the evidence submitted by NB Labs and Linus, there is almost no possibility of losing this lawsuit, otherwise Wu Yingzhe would never have been so easy.

The charter smiled, looked at the street scene outside the car and said, "It is impossible to be a plaintiff forever, and it is not a shameful thing to be a defendant." If there are one or two lawsuits in Europe and the United States every year, then we are not far from the world's top 500. ”

"That's right, like you said, I'm embarrassed to go out to meet people when I don't get accused a few times this year."

The charter glanced at the big brother on the side of Lian Yuan's master. To put it mildly: "NB Electronics' mobile communication products were launched. Lawsuits will ensue. We can't get around those standard patents at all. Therefore, we must be mentally prepared in this regard, since we must be prepared to be a defendant, we must also be prepared to be a plaintiff and sue them for patent abuse. ”

Wu Yingzhe lowered his head heavily, holding the briefcase that would never leave him, and said: "The board of directors has taken it into account, and the board of directors of NB Electronics has also taken it into account, and Mr. Lin even went to Stockholm to try to negotiate with Ericsson on the issue of standard patents. But there has been no positive response, as Zhang Gong said, I am afraid that these problems can only be resolved in court. ”

Huang Lian said with a wry smile: "We are the world's leading manufacturers of mobile and fixed network communication technology and equipment, providing equipment and services for all major mobile communication standards in the world, and more than 40% of the world's mobile calls are made through its system. ”

"Who made us inferior?"

The charter pointed behind him and said: "Third-rate enterprises make products, second-rate enterprises do brands, first-class enterprises do standards, if one day our NB laboratory also has thousands of core standard patents." You can also sit at home and collect money. ”

Wu Yingzhe was deeply touched by these words, and said without self-deprecation: "A few years ago, I felt that the first-class, second-rate, and third-rate were too far away from us. No one really thinks about it, really cares about it, and thinks that if the product is done well, sold out, and profitable, that is success.

It wasn't until last fall that I really realized the importance of branding. In the past, who dared to think that the products we didn't make could be put on our trademark, so that they could be put on the market and make money with the brand?

And now all this has become a reality, we don't do audio, we don't do elevators, wires and cables have just been established, and they can also sell very well, especially the audio that Hong Kong manufacturers help us OEM, and NB future windows together to form a home theater, last month the global shipment of more than 4,000 sets, simply in short supply, profits are also very considerable. ”

There are more and more products that affiliated companies help NB Electric OEM, they produce and sell agents, and the group has hardly invested much.

Thinking that OEM production and sales have become an important source of profit for the group, the charter couldn't help but smile: "This is the embodiment of brand value, and when the related business really develops, we can also set up a few more business divisions like four stars." ”

Wu Yingzhe nodded slightly, then turned around and said: "Mr. Huang, whether it can become a second-rate enterprise is our business, and whether it can become a first-class enterprise depends on you who are engaged in technology." ”

Huang Li'an smiled: "And Zhang Gong, don't forget him." ”

How easy is it to become a first-class enterprise? The charter sighed with emotion: "Ten years can create a second-rate enterprise, but if you want to build a first-class enterprise, I think it will take at least another ten or even twenty years." ”

"Twenty years is twenty years, at least in my lifetime."

As he spoke, the van passed by the old factory dormitory, but now it has been replaced by a high-rise building with more than 30 floors. The three of them couldn't help but think of the past, and teased each other again.

Talking and laughing, the car unconsciously slowly drove into a beautiful community.

The gate is engraved with the words "NB Science and Technology City", and inside are rows of six-story unit buildings, grass, trees, pavilions, rockeries...... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a "science and technology city", it doesn't look like a living area for a business, but more like a real estate development developed by a real estate developer.

Seeing that there is also an open-air gym between Building 16 and Building 18, the charter said to himself: "The second construction of the province is doing well, not worse than those Hong Kong real estate companies." ”

"This is the first real estate they have developed, and it is developed for us, can Mr. Wang not care?" Wu Yingzhe glanced back at the gatehouse he had just driven by, and then said: "It's just that the name is not very good, it is obviously a community, and it has something to do with technology." ”

Lian Yuangao, who hadn't spoken again along the way, suddenly raised his arm and pointed to the left front, "Mr. Zhang, my new home is in Building 19, Room 302, the one that didn't seal the balcony." ”

In order to allow colleagues from all over the world to work with peace of mind, the Chinese company talked with the SAR government about employees' household registration, housing and children's education for nearly a month before NB Electronics invested in security.

For an investment of up to $500 million, the municipal party committee and the municipal government made a series of concessions.

As long as the employees who have worked in NB Electric for four years can handle the "conversion from agriculture to non-farming", and move their household registration from their hometown to the security area, they will become real special zone people. Although this community was developed by the second provincial construction, in fact, it only played the role of a contractor, such as the fake exchange of funds to build houses, and the second provincial construction only came forward because they had the qualifications for real estate development.

Old employees have their own homes, and new employees can move into their own new homes after four years of service, even though they live in dormitories.

In the near future, these properties can also appreciate in value.

As soon as he thought that his employees would become millionaires in the future, he was excited, got up and smiled: "Gold three silver four, not bad." When there is time to seal the balcony as well, it is not safe to seal the skin of the child now. (To be continued......)
