Chapter 237 is not a surprise at all
Barry casually took it, his casual expression contrasting with the solemnity on Ronald's face.
As soon as he got his hands on it, Barry felt a weight on his hands.
I estimated it a little in my heart, I am afraid that there must be a weight of two or three catties, and it is absolutely inconvenient for ordinary people to carry.
Barry looked at it carefully, this guy is very old, like the most common mobile phone in movies in the 80s in the previous life, when it also had a loud name, known as "Big Brother" by the Jianghu people.
It is about 30 centimeters long, and the thickness of the fuselage is also very backward, so it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a brick, because it is thicker than a brick.
In addition to the basic nine numeric buttons in the middle, there are a few keys such as dial-answering, and there is not even the most basic digital display.
There's also a small antenna on the top, presumably to enhance the signal strength, and there's an earpiece, and nothing else.
If Barry had seen this ancient thing in his previous life, he would definitely happily pick it up, because it could be collected as an antique, and he might even make a small amount of money when he met someone who loved collecting.
But now Barry didn't have any trouble with it, because it was so bad that Barry would rather roar than use it.
Although he was poor in his previous life, he still had the most basic smart phones, but the main function of mobile phones at that time was no longer to make calls.
However, Barry saw Ronald's expression on the other side, and he still praised it against his will: "It's really good, so that people will communicate more conveniently, and it will definitely change the way people live..."
Barry's words were clichΓ©s, after all, in his time, if anything he wanted to blow, he would say, "It's going to change human lives." β
However, the advent of mobile phones can really change the way people live.
Ronald was very happy to hear this, and he also agreed with this sentence very much, he believed that this invention was created and would truly change the lives of mankind.
So when he found out that Barry had the same idea as himself, he was very happy.
He began to talk about the problems he encountered at work and the difficulties he overcame in developing mobile phones.
After all, Barry opened his mouth and came up with a concept.
While this is an important idea, there is still much more to be done on the way to success.
And Ronald's team, relying on rich experience, profound knowledge, and unremitting efforts, finally realized this idea.
Ronald was very excited, but Barry and Mrs. Celine listened very boringly, after all, they didn't understand these professional knowledge, so Ronald was completely chicken and duck.
"That's enough, Ronald, maybe you should tell Barry about the benefits of making this wireless phone, maybe Barry will be more interested in it."
Eventually, Mrs. Celine interrupted Ronald's rambling story, and although her husband had brought good news to her, it was not a reason for him to take an inch.
After all, for a literature lover, the professional terms in Ronald's mouth are simply heavenly books, and they will sound like a headache for Mrs. Celine.
When Ronald heard Mrs. Celine say this, he scratched his head and said suspiciously, "Didn't you tell you just now?" β
"More money, more company shares, and better social status and prestige."
"But none of this is useful, and I'm looking forward to my new lab, which I'll be able to experiment with better."
"I even have a goal in mind, which is to keep improving mobile phones until it really changes our social life."
Ronald is clearly a standard engineer's mindset, not caring about the wealth of technological breakthroughs, but more about the functions that the technology itself can bring.
However, Barry still planned to ask clearly, after all, this plan was proposed by him, and he couldn't give benefits to outsiders in vain, and was taken advantage of by some people who didn't want to do it.
In the end, not only did he suffer, but he was also ridiculed.
These things are not small in history, after all, capitalists are black-hearted.
Ronald replied in the affirmative, although he was obsessed with scientific research, it was not that he didn't understand these things, he just didn't want to worry about them.
After all, he had invented before, and it was with that patent that he obtained the shares of the company and obtained sufficient money.
With the experience of the last time, Ronald was familiar with the road this time, and spent a lot of money before signing the contract, and found several lawyers to accompany him to ensure that he would not fall into the trap of the contract.
There may not be the most benefits in this, but these are small things, after all, for Ronald, the money can't be spent anyway, and it doesn't matter if there is more or less.
Barry looked at him, and didn't continue to ask, after all, he couldn't know more about these things than Ronald, and Ronald had already used his deeds to prove how reliable he was.
After all, as an ordinary person, it is not easy to have today's worth through hard work.
If Barry didn't have a plug-in, he wouldn't have been able to do it to this extent.
However, Ronald is really powerful, he originally only had dividend shares, passed the patent of wireless telephone, and now has become the second largest shareholder, and has enough rights in the company.
It's just that he doesn't like to compete for power, so he still only controls the rights related to the laboratory to facilitate his future scientific research.
And the group of controllers of his company did not appear to be in a state of limp and wisdom, at least not the kind of fool who wanted to monopolize the patent and sweep Ronald out of the house.
After all, everyone knows that it is more important to be a hen that lays golden eggs than a golden egg.
As long as the company becomes bigger and stronger, then even if it is only one percent of the shares, it will make more money than 100% of the shares.
Therefore, the mobile phone patent developed by Ronald has not had many twists and turns, and has successfully obtained the corresponding benefits.
Mrs. Celine said: "Don't talk about this matter, after all, it's all some Qian Pu'an's problem, but it's not interesting." β
"Anyway, the current situation of our family is already very good, and no matter how much money we have, it will not change anything, but will add more troubles."
Ronald and Barry nodded at the same time, and that was true.
Seeing that her husband and children are like this, and they are not corrupted by money, Mrs. Celine is very satisfied, after all, family harmony is the best.
Then she said to her husband, "You should tell Barry about the real surprise." β
Barry was a little puzzled, what other good news could there be, there was no warning before.
"Could it be that I'm Detective Barry wrong?"
Ronald looked at his wife affectionately, then turned to Barry and said.
"I've been busy researching these days, so I snubbed you, and now the results have come out, and the company's affairs have been almost dealt with, so I plan to take Celine out on a trip and live in a two-person world for a while."
Barry is now confused: "What a surprise this is, it has nothing to do with me!" β
"Then what if I'm alone at home."
Celine kissed her husband on the cheek, then turned her head and said, "Don't you still have Huck at home, don't forget to feed it three meals a day, and if you come back hungry, you will have your good fruit to eat." β
Barry said helplessly: "But tomorrow is my birthday, don't you even give me a birthday?" β
Ronald said: "I originally planned to tell you about this tomorrow as a surprise on your birthday, but then I discussed it with Celine and gave up this plan. β
Mrs. Celine said, "That's right, tomorrow you will be eighteen, and you will celebrate your birthday with your parents every year, so you won't be bored." β
"So Ronald and I will leave tomorrow, and then you can invite friends over and join us for your birthday party, after all, young people are more topical when they are together."
"Remember, don't play too crazy and don't make a mess of your home."
Ronald made up the knife on the side: "Isn't it very happy to have such enlightened parents as us." β
It's not a surprise at all, and Barry doesn't want that at all.
