168. How the poor son is not a husband

★ It had not been three or four years since he set foot on this land, and Sun Yuanqi followed the memories of the time to Mr. Bergman's estate on the outskirts of Boston. Every year around Christmas and New Year's Day, the Bergman family spends a long and welcoming holiday here.

Today is a rare winter day on the East Coast of the United States, with no blizzards and warm sunshine gently falling on the green cedars and yellow turf. The magpie chirps and provokes on the branches, 'occasionally raising its wings and flying', outlining a graceful curve between heaven and earth in black and white. At the manor gate. 'A little boy in a goose-yellow winter coat and a Labrador retriever are running and playing on the grass,' bursting into cheerful laughter from time to time.

Unwilling to disturb this rare scene, he motioned to the coachman to stop from afar, and walked out of the car to watch quietly.

The coachman glanced at Bei Yuanqi, and then at the child's black hair blown by the wind, and smiled: "That's really a beautiful and lively little fellow!" Sir, 'Is he your child?'

"Yes, 'He is my son.'" Listening to the coachman's flattery, 'Don't Yuan Qi' smiled proudly and replied. In a good mood, 'casually handed over a green back': "No change." ”

The coachman was also rejoiced, and with a few more compliments, he drove away.

Soon, the little guy who was playing noticed the young man who had been standing by, and he stopped, glared at his big pretty eyes, and asked, "Sir, this is Mr. Bergman's house, who are you looking for?" ”

"I'm looking for a little boy of five or six years old,' his name is Aaron." Don't get up and squat down' to make fun of him.

The little guy blinked his big eyes: "So, what are you looking for him?" ”

"Because I'm going to give him a gift."

"Why give him a gift? Christmas and New Year are over, and it's not yet our birthday! "The little guy twisted his sword eyebrows, as if trying to think about why he was giving gifts at this time.

"Because this gift came from China, it was a very distant, very distant country, so it was delayed for a while on the way."

"From China? Did Dad ask you to send it here? ”

When Sun Yuanqi heard this, his nose suddenly became sour.

That's when someone in the manor asked, "Aaron, 'Who are you talking to?' ”

"A foreigner' helps dad deliver gifts to my foreigner." The little one replied crisply.

Hearing the little one's answer, a man immediately came out of the manor, and 'when he looked closely', who could it be if it wasn't Mrs. Bergman?' Don't Yuanqi quickly stood up: (see it for free, go to the "Wanshu Society") "Hello, Mrs. Bergman, long time no see!" ”

"Oh my God, isn't this Yank? Yesterday the newspaper just said that you were in Boston for a meeting, 'When do we want you to come back?' "Mrs. Bergman was overjoyed. After hugging, he hurriedly called the little guy: "Aaron, come over quickly" This is Daddy! ”

The little guy was a little hesitant, and looked at Bei Yuanqi carefully with his beautiful big eyes and blue pupils, and asked uncertainly, "You are Dad?" ”

Silent Yuan hugged the little guy and said softly: "That's right, I'm your father!" ”

Tony and Lilith also came out of the house. At this time, Bei Yuanqi only learned that they had both returned to China for Christmas at the end of last year, and when he heard that he was also coming to Boston, he stayed a little longer and prepared to get angry with himself. As for Mr. Bergman and Arthur, they are now working in the factory and will not be able to come back until dark.

It's another chill. When they entered the house, they sat down on the sofa, and 'Mrs. Bergman went to the kitchen to make coffee,' while Aaron hid in his mother's arms and secretly looked at his father. Tony then said, "Yanke's reading in the newspaper said, 'You went to the National Television Technology Conference yesterday' and was elected president of the newly formed American Radio and Television Society? ”

"The journalist is so well-informed? And even such a trifle can be in the newspaper? It seems that there's really nothing big about the 'most beautiful American journalism.' Don't Yuanqi joked with Tony.

Tony shook his head: "It's not a trivial matter. The emergence of new media such as radio and television will profoundly change the way people obtain information, and it will be a huge impact on traditional newspapers and magazines. In particular, television, "to use your speech yesterday, 'the garden is not just a small invention,' can be regarded as a major event of great significance in the times," when the American Radio and Television Association was founded, and many newspapers have published commentators' articles, and I believe that in the next few days, everyone will discuss this matter more deeply. ”

"And what do you think?" Don't ask.

"Huge business opportunity" is a huge business opportunity not to be missed!" Tony replied firmly.

"What? Do you also want to get involved in the TV industry? That's a lot deeper than radio broadcasting! Bei Yuanqi kindly reminded. Aside from the manufacture of television equipment, the scale of its industry should not be underestimated. For example, the world-famous TV media "BBC" generated more than 3 billion pounds in 2003! In the same year, the revenue of China TV also broke through 100 yuan. This is evident from this.

Yesterday, at the meeting venue, Bie Yuanqi 'heard with his own ears that several consortium tycoons were ambitiously preparing to spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars' in order to win the television operation rights and even franchise rights of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and other countries.

"The water is really deep,' I know." Tony rarely kept a low profile, "However, I just want to get the right to operate TV in China and Japan, even if I take a step back, and only get the right to operate in one of these countries." Or 'do you want to figure it out?' With the tremendous contribution of your time to television, it is not difficult to get the right to operate or even franchise in the Far East. In the eyes of many people, 'the Far East is still a symbol of poverty and backwardness,' and they are not too interested. If you can get the right to operate, the newly formed company will give you 25% of the shares, and if it is a franchise, you will be given 45% of the shares. How is it? ”

Tony was indeed willing to let the bloodletting, and 'giving up such a large share of the shares' is very useful for the fearless spirit of a child to set a wolf.

The TV industry is a big piece of fat, 'whether it is 45% or 25% of the shares', it is enough to make people eat fat. Tony's pest meat "really made other Yuanqi very excited", but he didn't dare to say it to death: "Although the current TV technology has been largely formed, there are still many problems (watch it for free, go to the "Wanshushe"), just like the miniaturization, stabilization, and standardization of TV signal receivers, and the construction of TV signal transmission and transmission towers. At least in the next two years, the development of TV can only be in the stage of side testing, and large-scale promotion will have to wait for a while.

Regarding the right to operate in the Far East, I will first communicate with the American Radio and Television Institute, the Electronic Laboratory and other units, and then give you an answer when there is definite information! ”

Tony was very excited when he saw that Bi Yuanqi had already agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for good news." He added: "In order to promote the rapid development of television technology, we at Far East Broadcasting Group will donate a sum of money to the U Electronics Laboratory in the near future to fund related research." Specific usage is at your discretion. ,’

In the evening, Mr. Bergman returned to the manor with his youngest son Arthur, and he was very happy to see Bie Yuanqi. When asked about the sales of the condiment factory, Mr. Bergman said with some depression: "In the American market, the sales of products are very smooth, and they have been steadily rising. It's just that I haven't been able to open the European market' is really annoying. ”

"Europeans don't like MSG?" Sun Yuanqi had heard such rumors before that Western households, especially in continental Europe, rarely used MSG as a condiment.

Seeing Yu Yuanqi mention 'Mr. Bergman's anger: "Isn't it that the Europeans are too conservative and too old-fashioned? For us Americans, 'a food can be eaten as long as it cannot be proven harmful,' but for Europeans, as long as it cannot be proven harmless, it cannot be eaten. Because of this, 'even though the relevant US authorities have confirmed that MSG is a healthy food residue', it is still resisted in the European market and can only be sold to some food processing plants. ”

How can the ideology and eating habits of the Qi region be so easy to change? Bei Yuanqi could only echo his father-in-law's opinion at the moment: "Yes, their logic is really strange!" ”

"Not yet! Their stubbornness and conservatism 'will sooner or later allow the continent to decay and collapse' and be replaced by the emerging United States. "Of course," Bergman said, "Europe is still a huge consumer market that we should try to use more products to gain more market share," Bergman said. ”

Isn't the so-called "trying to use more products" just trying to get more invention patents? Sun Yuanqi naturally heard the old man's words: "When I was in China, I had just invented a new vegetable processing technology, and the products produced with this technology could avoid any harsh criticism of Europeans. ,’

"Oh, 'Tell me about it?' Mr. Bergman suddenly came to his senses, 'put down his coffee cup' and listened carefully.

Er Yuanqi held the coffee cup and smiled silently: The old man is not kind, and he wants to listen to the technical details before the bid is opened, "Do you plan to empty the white wolf?"

Mr. Bergman also immediately understood, and quickly said: "I am responsible for building a factory in the United States, and the profit sharing is also according to the standard of monosodium glutamate, and the gills of European and American profits belong to you, and 20% of the profits in Asia belong to me." What do you think? ”

The West is good at this point, and it doesn't hurt to talk about money.

Silent Yuan Qi was about to nod his head, but Lilith said the opposite: "This is unreasonable!" As we all know, 'the European and American markets are five to ten times larger than the Asian markets,' and it is completely unfair to do what you do. It's better to '45% of the profits of Europe and the United States belong to us, and 45% of the profits of Asia belong to you.'" How is it? ”

Mr. Bergman is neither a philanthropist nor a fool, so he would not agree to Lilith's sky-high asking price: "33 per cent of the profits of Europe and the United States shall be yours, and 25 per cent of the profits of Asia shall be mine." ”

In this way, the father and daughter engaged in arduous business negotiations in the living room, while the two sons watched the battle with a smile on the sidelines, and did not feel embarrassed at all. In their opinion, 'It's a great way to learn to communicate.' In the end, Sun Yuanqi obtained 38% of the profits in Europe and the United States and 70% of the profits in Asia.

"Yank: 'Now can you tell us about your new invention?' Mr. Bergman glanced at Lilith angrily, and then turned to ask.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Sun Yuan hurriedly replied: "My invention is called dehydrated vegetables", which is to make fresh vegetables after washing, drying and other processing (see them for free, go to the "Wanshushe") and make air-seeded dried vegetables after removing most of the water in the vegetables. ”

That's right, it's dehydrated vegetables. Open the otaku: "The treasure of the town, the packaging of instant noodles", in addition to the bread, there will be three small bags, one of which is dehydrated vegetables. At present, there are three main ways to make dehydrated vegetables: drying dehydration, freezing dehydration, sublimation and dehydration. With the exception of sublimation dehydration, which requires the application of complex vacuum technology, the other two are very simple.

After describing the technical process, Bee said, "The dehydrated vegetables retain their original color and nutrients basically unchanged, and when eaten, they can be restored by immersing them in clean water." It is not only convenient for storage and transportation, but also can effectively regulate the off-peak season of vegetable production, which has a very good social prospect. Of course, 'can also respond to any harsh pickiness of the Europeans. ”

When Lilith heard this, she felt that it was not difficult to produce dehydrated vegetables, that she could handle it completely, and that she had given most of her profits to her father, and that she had done a lot of wrongs for no reason, and said, "Dad, didn't you think that the ship that gave us European and American profits suffered a lot?" Otherwise, we won't sign this contract, and we will build our own factory for production, so as to save you a loss. Good no good? ”

After listening to Bei Yuanqi's description, 'Mr. Bergman's eyes are also green', how can he give up the benefits he has received? Ignoring Lilith's withdrawal at the moment, he hurriedly greeted Arthur and Sun Yuanqi:

"Arthur 'you don't go to the Wanshu Society for free") just graduated from Harvard Law School with a Ph.D.? Now is the time to test you. Hurry up and draw up a contract according to what you just agreed upon!

"Yank, 'You have to work hard tonight' to write out the patent for this invention, 'Tomorrow morning, let Arthur send it to the patent office to apply', 'lest you have too many nights!' (
