142 An Empty Shell (Three Watches)
"What's the account?" Ye Qingyu asked suspiciously.
Like him, everyone in the banquet hall looked at Tong Yi suspiciously, not knowing what this girl was going to do.
Because of a deceptive baby face, people who don't know Tong Yi's details think that Tong Yi is still underage, and it is inevitable that he will be a little contemptuous.
Tong Yi risked the head of the little milk dog, tilted his head and said: "All the new products of TD in the past 30 years have been developed by my mother or me, and all the patents are under my name.
If TD wants to continue using these patents, it will have to pay at least a royalty. ”
Everyone present took a breath of cold air and looked at the girl in the orange sweatshirt in disbelief.
Anyone who is a little older knows that TD almost went out of business thirty years ago.
It was after Mr. Tong took over TD that the originally declining company gradually grew to such a scale as it is now, but few people know that the chief scientist of TD at that time was Mr. Tong's wife, that is, Tong Yi's mother.
For more than 30 years, TD has been innovating on smart devices to get to where it is today.
No one thought that TD's smart device patents were not applied for in the name of the company, but in the name of an individual.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Tong scolded angrily, "It's all a family, what kind of account is it?" And how did those patents of the company become the patents of you and your mother who died young? ”
The old lady didn't know if what Tong Yi said was true, but she knew that this matter must not be spread, otherwise it would have an immeasurable impact on TD.
Tong Yi glared at Mrs. Tong, she said with a calm face: "It doesn't matter what you say to me, but you can't say my mother, you know how much she has contributed to TD."
If it weren't for her, there would be no current TD, and there would be no current Tong family. ”
Usually, that baby face will not have any deterrent power even if it is fierce, but now Tong Yi's eyes make people's hearts furious.
Even the old lady Tong, who had seen any strong winds and waves, couldn't help but shudder.
Glaring at Old Lady Tong, Tong Yi turned around and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.
It's all torn face, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.
Everyone in the banquet hall subconsciously made way for the girl in the orange sweatshirt, and it was not until she disappeared at the gate that everyone came back to their senses.
After all, they were still in the Tong family, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but many people were ready to see the jokes of Mrs. Tong and Ye Qingyu.
TD without patents is nothing more than an empty shell.
The birthday feast ended hastily, and the guests were invited away.
Only Mrs. Tong, Ye Qingyu, Father Tong and a few shareholders of TD remained.
Several shareholders know very well that there is no need to wait for tomorrow morning, and the news that TD does not have a patent in hand will definitely be spread, and they can already predict that TD's stock will fall tomorrow.
"Look at the good daughter you raised!" Mrs. Tong sat on a mahogany chair and stared at her only son, half dead in anger.
Ye Qingyu stood beside the old lady Tong and patted the old lady on the back, he never thought that his cousin, who usually didn't look very friendly, would put such a set for him.
TD without patents has no value.
Father Tong didn't speak, he stood aside with a depressed face as if thinking about something.
"It's all that woman, and the children she gave birth to are just like her, and they're not good things." The old lady patted the handrail and cursed loudly at the man who had been dead for many years.
Several shareholders looked at each other, they were all old people of TD, and they were very clear about the Tong family.
The woman Mrs. Tong scolded was Mr. Tong's late wife, Ms. Ding. After so many years, they still don't understand that Mrs. Tong hates Ms. Ding so much.
They only knew that if it weren't for Ms. Ding's appearance, TD would have gone out of business a long time ago.
It is true that TD is an old electronic equipment company, but in this era of rapid change, there are many electronic equipment companies that have been eliminated. Originally, TD was going to embark on such a road of no return, when Master Tong was still alive, and TD's sales were getting worse and worse year by year.
It was Mr. Tong who, despite everyone's opposition, recruited Ms. Ding, who had just graduated from Metropolis University, as the chief scientist of TD.
Until then, TD didn't have the position of chief scientist at all.
If it weren't for Ms. Ding's inventions, TD would not have been able to go from a state of imminent bankruptcy to the current multinational company.
Tong Yi is right, if it weren't for her mother, there would be no TD now.
"Mother, the woman you're talking about is my wife." Father Tong rarely put on a face to Mrs. Tong.
He is the same as Tong Yi, and Ms. Ding is his bottom line.
If it was usual, Mrs. Tong would still keep her mouth shut, but today she was angry with Tong and completely lost her mind.
"I said what's wrong with her? When people are dead, can't I say anything about her? Do you have me as a mother in your eyes? "Mrs. Tong is as strong as ever, and even a little pressing.
Taking a deep look at his mother, Father Tong wiped his face tiredly, and said: "The position of TD president can be given to whoever you want, I want to go on a long vacation, and the return date is uncertain." ”
After saying that, he ignored the old lady's shouting, turned around and walked out.
He was tired for a long time, and in order to let Tong Yi inherit TD, he insisted on it until now. Unexpectedly, it was all wishful thinking on his part, his mother never saw Tong Yi as a granddaughter, let alone regarded her as the sole heir of TD.
In fact, he had long known that Tong Yi had transferred all her mother's patents to her name, and he had acquiesced to it. At that time, he felt that TD would be Tong Yi's sooner or later, and if this could give Tong Yi a sense of belonging, it would be good.
Now it seems that Tong Yi had expected that the old lady would take this step, but he was just prepared in advance.
He now finally understands why Tong Yi never takes a vacation and locks himself in the laboratory every day and night.
Since she became the chief scientist, TD's new product launches have changed from once every two years to once every six months, which is definitely faster than other electronic device companies.
It turned out that it was just to give TD a heavy blow, and TD couldn't do without her for a long time.
Father Tong felt so stupid, for so many years, he didn't understand Tong Yi's thoughts, and always thought that she was just a child and didn't understand anything.
Before his wife died, he promised his wife that he would ensure that Tong Yi would have no worries for the rest of his life.
Now it seems that he has failed in what he did.
*
On the high road, a black sports car is speeding away.
Qian Yichen glanced at Tong Yi who was sitting on the side, and the little milk dog fell asleep on her lap. After all, it is still young, and it is tired to follow Tong Yi in Tong's house for so long.
There was soft music playing in the car, and Qian Yichen waited for a while before he spoke: "A, do you have any arrangements for the future?" ”
------Off topic------
Maybe my tears are a little low, and I cried when I wrote this chapter.
I deleted it many times.
As Zhen Zhen said earlier, Tong Yi has always wanted to return to China, but she has not gone back after knowing her for so many years.
Because she wants to 'avenge' her mother and make TD inseparable from her, she has to stay in the laboratory day and night to develop new products.
I feel sorry for Tong Yi
