Chapter Seventy-One: But Seek Your Own Heart I
Feng Xiaogang's classic work "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" was playing on the TV, and Uncle Ge's monologue with strong personal colors slowly sounded with the soft background music, with the atmosphere in the room at the moment, it was embarrassing to explode.
“。。。。。 If you're looking for a wallet, look no further. Master's degree or above is exempted, and female entrepreneurs are exempted from talking (except for small traders and hawkers), so that we will be disappointed in each other. Andy Lau and Brother Tom, who are both talented and good-looking, will not come to ask for your marriage, and of course I didn't dream of Notting Hill. If you were really a fairy, I wouldn't be able to catch it, and I didn't expect you to look like the cover of the pictorial. Fashionable on the outside, conservative on the inside, and healthy both physically and mentally on the line. ”
The door behind him bounced back and locked with a click. The remote control that was originally in Jiaying's mother's hand was also pressed the pause button at the right time, and the picture was accurately frozen at the moment when Uncle Ge was stunned.
So in this room, Mom and Dad, Jia Ying Nie Peng, and a famous Chinese mainland actor who is frozen on the TV screen, jointly staged a family mime that lingers in their minds for many years.
In the end, the dazed Jiaying climbed down from Nie Peng and broke the cold first meeting with a scream. And the originally embarrassed few people also found a state that matched their identities, and the first formal family meeting began with the right seats.
The first meeting was naturally mostly greetings, but fortunately, the four of them had a video call before, and they continued to talk about the topic, and they didn't feel much life. This made Nie Peng, who originally had a great fear of "seeing his mother-in-law and father-in-law", couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
After all, the experience of the second elder is there, and there is no need to choose a son-in-law, but to pay more attention to the focus. So in his speech, Nie Peng, who had clear thinking and good conduct, obviously made the second elder agree very much.
Especially Di's father, when he learned that Nie Peng had plans to set up a private laboratory, he was even more interested, and asked several questions about the original intention of the laboratory construction and market positioning.
I don't know if it's because of the sequelae of his successful operation of many similar projects, or if it's really out of his heart's interest, in short, the questions raised are straight to the core, and the conclusions are all in the spot. It really brought a lot of shock to Nie Peng.
The men are talking about their careers on the side, and the ladies are naturally talking about their families, but they don't know if Jiaying's mother's focus is problematic, or if Jiaying's crooked building skills are too strong, and they talk about skin problems while chatting.
The mother carefully looked at a baby girl she hadn't seen for a month, and found that the skin was unbelievably good, no worse than the celebrity photos hanging in the jewelry store, and even more so. hurriedly asked about cosmetics, but how did Jiaying explain, after all, this fair and moist skin can't be done with chemicals. In the end, it had to be attributed to the nourishment of love, which made Nie Peng, who was sitting on the side, think about it.
The mother and daughter talked about topics that the two men couldn't get into anyway, so Jiaying's father and Nie Peng simply walked aside, packing the luggage they brought back from the United States, and exchanging career issues. said that it was an exchange, but in fact, it was more like Jiaying's father was teaching, and Nie Peng was asking for advice. Such as "what kind of R&D model is needed in the current pharmaceutical industry", "insist on intellectual property rights or adhere to the best interests", etc., the level of sophistication is prohibitive for laymen.
Since the parents arrived in Qi City in the afternoon, they only took a short rest when they arrived at the apartment, and they didn't have time to buy daily necessities. Originally, the plan of the two was to let their daughter come back and do it for them, but they didn't expect her boyfriend to come back together, so the procurement work naturally fell on Jiaying's father, after all, at present, he is the master, and Nie Peng is the guest.
But looking at the mother and daughter who were like sisters, Nie Peng resolutely grabbed his clothes and went out with Jiaying's father, after all, facing his mother-in-law, he felt that the father-in-law who had a common topic was more chatty.
At 9 o'clock, the small retail shops near the apartment were mostly closed, and if you wanted to buy some essential supplies, you still had to walk 1 kilometer away, and the two people walked together and chatted.
"Nie Peng, can you tell your uncle why you thought of building this laboratory?"
Father Di asked in a gentle tone, from the chat with Nie Peng just now, he learned that this laboratory is still in the preparation stage, just renting a factory building, and the interior has been simply decorated, as for the equipment and employees have not yet been stationed, let alone the project. In that case, then tentatively ask him about his motives, at least you can help him check the direction.
"Well, on the one hand, it's because of the actual need, after all, it's out of the school, and you can't often occupy public laboratories. On the other hand, ideals, what you learn professionally, that is... It's relatively familiar, but if you don't do a laboratory, you don't know what else to do. ”
Nie Peng was still a little restrained and seemed incoherent. After all, in addition to Jiaying's father, the person next to him is also an investment banker at JPMorgan Chase, and he talks about ideals, I don't know if he will be called a "childish" hat.
"Hmm... Father Di didn't reply in a hurry, but held on to the long voice, nodding and considering, flattening his mouth, as if he had a piece of sugar in his mouth. "Sounds good, have you thought about how big you want to go?"
He didn't think about it for long, so that Nie Peng's heart that had just hung up was put back again, and he replied:
"Scale? Until it's enough. What is lacking makes up for what is missing. ”
"Enough?" Father Di laughed, just from Nie Peng's answer to this question, he roughly judged that Nie Peng's ambition was not aimed at private research and development. At least in his attitude, the lab is more of a tool than a dream.
In Di Zhexiao's eyes, there is an essential difference between this result, after all, one is the ambition of life, and the other is the tool to realize the ambition, just like the two options of distance and sports car, the meaning of which is very different.
It is not enough to deduce this result, after all, as a father, he can tolerate his future son-in-law being talentless and unattractive, but he can't accept that he has no ambitions. If he really pushed his daughter into such a situation, it would be tantamount to making him cut his flesh and bleed, which is also impossible.
"Is this lab purely for the development of new products?" Di's father asked again, his tone as slow as ever.
He knows that the construction cost of this laboratory comes from the huge profit of the order of Aslicecand, but this does not mean that Aslieca will maintain this order agreement stably and for a long time, after all, all technical bottlenecks can be broken, once at some point in the future, the other party overcomes the technical problems of the product, then it will inevitably give up the end line mercilessly. Especially in the current situation of copycats in China, it is basically impossible to rely on normal operating profits to support a self-developed laboratory without stable financial support.
He was worried that Nie Peng, due to his winning mentality, was too idealistic to put all his energy on research and development, ignoring the tragic status quo of the market, which eventually led to high costs and unsalable products.
