Curry meals are still served on the plane. The look on Huang Ligong's face is almost a footnote to the sentence "The darkness before dawn is the darkest".

"Why book an airline in India?" He seemed to be struggling to breathe. "Did I order it?"

Liu Ruiyang nodded affirmatively, "It was set by your old man himself." ”

Huang Ligong turned his head and asked Xu Qianqian on the seat on the other side of the aisle, "Is it really me?" ”

Xu Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, "It was set by your old man personally." ”

"I finally understand why leaders always like to talk and say half a sentence, and let you guess the rest and do it yourself." Foreman Huang Li sighed, looking like he suddenly realized, "I used to think that it was a hard work to cultivate my subordinates. Now I know that it is the power and skill, and when things do not go well, someone can scold and blame. That's right, it's the leadership that is wise; Wrong, it is the subordinates who misinterpret the leadership and do not do things effectively. "I'm just going to blame myself now, making a bad decision." ”

“May I help you?” A flight attendant happened to walk by, bent down and asked him. She has thick and long eyebrows, deep eye sockets, is not short, and is dressed in sari, which does not mean to be slender at all, and her leaning posture is quite oppressive.

Huang Ligong pointed to the food on the board, babbling for a while, and finally held back a sentence: "Othe."

The flight attendant smiled, "Is b."

Huang Ligong gave a thumbs up, "Good! ”

After the stewardess left, Xu Qianqian and Liu Ruiyang couldn't hold back anymore and laughed at each other. Because it was in a confined public space, both of them suppressed their laughter and laughed with tears.

Huang Ligong finished eating a few small breads. The lights in the cabin were dimmed, most of the passengers were drowsy, and Xu Qianqian held Ki

dle, reading a book.

"You've read the logs, haven't you?" Liu Ruiyang turned his head to the side and asked Huang Ligong softly.

"I'm done. Those bastards. Huang Ligong said hatefully. Li Jia really has a commander behind him. It's a peer, and you can't see a peer when you look up. Xiongye company, the domestic robot company, was established earlier, the name and scale are not small, this time also to India to participate in the bidding, although the Indian side deliberately isolated the accommodation of each company, but there will always be a time to pass by. Huang Ligong sneered, he had just made a little appearance, he had just walked out of the country, he didn't think about how to compete with foreign strong players, he didn't think about how to surpass them, but he hurriedly dismantled his own people's platform first, it's really the old saying, outsiders in foreign wars, insiders in civil wars. In the past, in many traditional industries, this was a point that people hated. Even foreigners are slowly learning that Chinese companies are not united and like to tear each other down. Clothing and toy companies, every time they negotiate a batch of orders with foreign companies, there are always peers who come out and grab orders at lower prices. Iron and steel companies go out to acquire foreign iron ore projects, and finally come out to disrupt the situation is often the domestic counterparts, offering higher prices, which is called a beautiful name.

Unexpectedly, in the so-called emerging industries and high-tech enterprises, such things will also happen - no matter how new the industry is, the people are still old. What especially made Huang Ligong hold his breath was that this hand was very useful, and Xiongye Company finally succeeded, won the bidding, and signed the contract. Not even a chance to soothe himself morally. This kind of grievance has to find an outlet.

"Those who do the wrong thing must pay the price." He doesn't intend to be soft on traitors, he wants to consult a lawyer, report the case, and make an example.

"You see the record, he should regret it." Liu Ruiyang reminded him. Judging from the monitoring records of the mobile phone, after the accident, the company contacted Li Jia, and Li Jia's reply used clear refusal words such as "no", "don't want to", and "thank you", and when she tried to call later, Li Jia did not answer.

"Just regret it?! Do you want to encourage everyone to actively sell the company in the future?! ”

"You leave this matter to me, huh?" Liu Ruiyang saw that Huang Ligong didn't speak, knowing that he was thinking about that breath. "When the water is clear, there are no fish. That's what you told me. He said politely, "You're too us to do technology." You are in the rivers and lakes and in the market, you don't ask for morality, you don't ask for character, it doesn't matter if you're a villain, as long as it's useful, you can still use it. A villain who can sell me a hundred robots, and a decent gentleman who can't sell one, which one do you say I should keep? You didn't say that. Why is there a different set of standards for what we do with technology? ”

Huang Ligong was speechless. In a hurry, he said, "Don't create a split, I look like a capitalist." Anyway, I'm also a technician, okay? It's different, those charlatans are mercenaries, they work for money, they leave without money, and it's a joke to talk about morality. Technical people are very pure, and the mercenary mentality is not good at all, so you don't dare to use it. ”

Liu Ruiyang was stunned, "You are a stereotype." If you do technology, you don't have wives and children, don't support your family, you have to concentrate on your work and work overtime. You can only give, you can't talk about money, otherwise it's not pure? Technical people also have seven emotions and six desires, they will grow, and they will also fall on their heels; Will love people, but also longing for someone to care. Speaking of the latter, there was a hint of softness in his tone. Huang Ligong was interested, and asked with a smile: "Are you in a new love?" After all these years, it's time for you to talk about it too. ”

Liu Ruiyang turned his head, looked out of the porthole, and didn't talk to him. This is a tacit understanding between the two people, Huang Ligong changed the topic as if nothing happened, which means that he no longer insisted, and tacitly acted according to Liu Ruiyang's opinion. Liu Ruiyang's heart beat rapidly, like a drum beating gently and densely, and Huang Ligong's words were like a needle, piercing his most vulnerable place.

Love...... To love people and to be loved...... Love. The white clouds outside the window, clumps of flocculents, spread out to the distant sky, and it seems that they can't fly out. Impossible, how could it be?! A wave of loneliness struck, as if the plane he was on was falling, weightless, everything around him floating. If the earth's gravity is not strong enough for its heavy body to stand on the ground, how can it allow itself to cling to something else?

Lonely. Yes, at night, he felt lonely. Loneliness is not a night, it is not cold air, loneliness is not being able to grasp another thing. There's nothing else to hold onto.

In his life, there is not even a shadow of a woman. There are excellent female engineers in the factory, and among them, there are secretly admiring eyes, but in addition to work instructions and technical exchanges, he deliberately avoids even greetings and small talk. In addition to his family, his mother, his sister, and his aunts, if you count carefully, there are only one and a half women in his current world. A woman is-Liu Ruiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly-Xu Qianqian. This world is very weird, he and Xu Qianqian are not the same kind of people no matter how you look at them, he is calm, she is clever; He is stubborn in the facts, and she is adaptable; He fears the truth, and she cares about deeds...... In almost every important matter of life, their qualities are incompatible. But the two were able to chat, Xu Qianqian was quite curious about him casually, and asked questions. He didn't mind showing a little personal emotion in front of her. However, maybe it's because of Xu Qianqian, she has the ability to walk into other people's intimate zones.

But that's the end of it. The relationship between the two is very good, but it is also so bright that there is no room for imagination. None of them.

The remaining half of the women are grass. One screen name, one ID. When he was still a graduate student, Liu Ruiyang would regularly release the progress of the scientific research projects he led on the school's BBS, and netizens discussed it very hotly, including grass. Cao'er is not a robotics major, but she has a strong understanding ability and always has unexpected angles to ask questions. The two started in a group chat in the version, then a private chat, and later moved to QQ to communicate. The chat topic is also extended from the bot. Over the years, there has never been enthusiasm, there has never been a meeting, but it has never been broken. She said she was a Chinese girl studying in New York, with a time difference of 12 hours. Nothing else is known. It's a good idea to say that half a woman is thinking about it, he doesn't know her real name, appearance, or even gender. Perhaps behind the soft brushstrokes sat a rugged man. Even so, it is already the only feminine atmosphere left in his life other than Xu Qianqian.

…… It's far away, but it seems like it can only be so. He himself couldn't believe that he could still have feelings and family. How could he still have love and beauty since that catastrophe?! He can't be with any woman. Even Wang Miao pushed him away. He loves Wang Miao so much.

Liu Ruiyang closed his eyes, and it was pitch black in front of him, as if he had returned to the last night, the same dark night. He was lying on the bed, with no strength in his body. Wang Miao gently stroked his face. At dusk, there was still a dim afterglow by the window, allowing the two men to see each other's eyes flowing, and now everything fell into darkness, and only the slightest breathing could be heard. Liu Ruiyang felt her hand run down her cheek, slowly caressing her neck, and slowly probing her chest. The sound of breathing in the dark slowly became heavier, approaching him, face to face, hands around his neck, a soft body pressing against him, a familiar smell, familiar softness. The lips searched little by little on his face, finding her partner, kissing passionately. He reached out and hugged her, hugging him tightly, as if he wanted to take all the softness into his body.

She broke free, straightened up, and stared at him in the darkness. He couldn't see anything, heard the sound of Si Si Suo, and then a pair of hands lightly touched him, exploring his body and helping him undress. The body returned to his, clinging to it, this time scorching, smooth and scorching, with all its enthusiasm and sorrow. An electric current struck him all over his body, and he trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Don't ......," he whispered in his ear, trying to push her away. Her body stubbornly resisted, and he felt her shake her head in the dark. He put his arms around her, hugged her body and hands so hard that she couldn't move. "I've changed beyond recognition, not who I used to be...... Listen to me. Tomorrow...... I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll be good ......."

Her body slackened. Tears dripped down his face and into his hair behind his ears. He closed his eyes and gasped, as if the push he had just exhausted all the strength of his life.

She shifted her body, rested her head on his chest, pillowed it, and put her hands on his waist, hugging him tightly. And just like that, lay down for the night. No one spoke. She wasn't asleep, he pretended to be asleep.

The next morning, when she walked out of the door, she held on to the door frame with her hands, not daring to look back again. Waiting in front of her was a flight to New York that could not be changed; A bright future that cannot be changed, and after a few years of academic career, the career and even the whole life are there.

Liu Ruiyang clenched his fists tightly. After so many years, he rarely thought about that night, and he couldn't shed tears. Now, grief sweeps over like a silent wave beneath the surface of the deep sea. He put his hand on his thigh and pinched it so hard that it seemed to hurt and he didn't seem to feel anything. How can he have hope for a normal life? There was a voice in his heart that shouted to him, monster, monster. This is probably something they will never understand.

Huang Ligong didn't know at all that Liu Ruiyang, who was sitting next to him, was surging in his heart. He was very magnanimous and let Liu Ruiyang deal with Li Jia's affairs, if someone else brought it up, he would have pressed it back. Liu Ruiyang is different, he knows that Liu Ruiyang is a cautious and cherishing feather person, if he takes the initiative to do something that he is not necessarily good at, he will definitely do it more meticulously and in place than anyone else.

Now we have to think about something more important. More importantly, of course, is money. The Japanese...... He does have what Ruili Technology desperately needs. Money, experience, resources for international expansion, however, Huang Ligong has a faint feeling that money means constraints, and strategic help often leads to control.

He planned to talk to Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian looked at Ki

dle, Huang Ligong and Liu Ruiyang spoke in a very low voice, vaguely inaudible, occasionally a few words drifted into their ears, and when they were excited, their voices were a little louder. She knew that they were talking about Li Jia, and Liu Ruiyang wanted to deal with it herself. Airplanes are not the ideal place to talk about business, there are many people, noisy, and there is always a risk of being heard by inadvertent ears. Liu Ruiyang is also a mystery, why talk about it in this environment...... Xu Qianqian put down Ki

DLE, suddenly wondered, did he underestimate Liu Ruiyang's cunning. Perhaps, he chose to talk about this topic on the plane. On this occasion, Huang Ligong couldn't be passionate, shouting, and using the momentum of words to subdue others. He could only restrain himself, and in a restricted environment, Huang Ligong was easy to accept proposals. It seems that Liu Ruiyang has already thought about how to deal with this matter and how to get Huang Ligong to agree. He's a pure technician, but he's definitely not stupid.

She came to a conclusion that in this company, Liu Ruiyang is very important, maybe only he can restrain Huang Ligong and make Huang Ligong sober up when needed.

"He treats you as if you have just debuted...... Xu Qianqian said with a smile. Huang Ligong chatted with her about White Bank International Capital and the Japanese. She immediately reacted that Huang Ligong had indeed just debuted, and many things were groping forward, and international investment funds were also in contact for the first time. "Don't take what he says too seriously." Xu Qianqian reminded him that those who engage in investment are all from sales. Not to mention the investment manager, it is the partner, or even the boss, the higher the position, the more big sales character. "Do you really listen to what the sales say? It's the same, you're running around selling your robot, and you've said a lot of things, right, how can you take it all seriously? Huang Ligong was puzzled, isn't it the rich who is the uncle? Since the establishment of Ruili Technology, he and Zhang Wenfeng have also run several domestic enterprises and funds, financing and pulling money, basically begging grandpa to sue grandma, speaking of a handful of blood and tears, how come the international investment fund is the opposite?

"Because money has a cost." Xu Qianqian explained that just like factory production, steel, energy, raw materials, parts, etc., these are all costs; Capital also has a cost, and this cost is interest. "Anything, as long as it has a cost, there is pressure." For capital investment, the bottom line pressure is to outperform the bank, and the ultimate return cannot be worse than putting money in the bank and doing nothing. For people who organize and manage capital, they have to think accurately and quickly to find quality projects, and invest money in them – they can't let them take someone else's investment – which means attracting and convincing, the essence of sales.

"You mean to say that those people are uncles because they have no pressure; And they don't have pressure because there is no cost to their money? Huang Ligong suddenly opened. No wonder! I have such a high-quality project, those people refuse without even looking at it! There's no pressure on them to find a good project. She really woke up the dreamer with a word, and made him find a powerful reason for the biggest depression and frustration of the past few years.

"There are pros and cons to everything. It's hard to take money that doesn't respect value, but no one cares when you get it, and you can spend it however you want. Money that respects the value of the enterprise is easier to get, as long as you are really valuable, but there will be a lot of constraints, and it is not so easy to spend. Xu Qianqian further analyzed. Huang Ligong frowned when he heard the word constraint, "Since it is a high-quality project, shouldn't it be fully trusted and let it develop freely?" ”

"It's the same thing. There is no pressure to give money, so it will be given indiscriminately; If you get the money, there is no pressure, and you will spend it indiscriminately. Xu Qianqian has heard too many naïve statements, and they are all asked sincerely by the battle-hardened old Jianghu. If you ask him rhetorically, will he also fully trust his excellent subordinates, not to be on a budget, and to be completely free of people and property? He will be surprised, even a little like humiliated, look like you are an ignorant girl, and say, how can I be the same as them?! I'm the boss and I create value, they just work part-time.

Xu Qianqian didn't want to dwell on it, so without waiting for Huang Ligong to respond, she quickly continued, "The other one, who doesn't respect the value of money, can get more." Valuation has nothing to do with value or returns, so it's easy to overestimate and everyone is happy. What about money that respects the value of money...... Money in the international market is not so easy to get, and it may not solve our problems. There are two main ones, one is time, now it is just to express the intention, no matter how strong the intention is, it is still far from the landing transaction, it has its standardized process. The second is that it can withstand the toss. I will definitely deal with you, try my best to learn more, and do the same as checking the family background, so as to make an accurate valuation. The money is not much, and the company will be checked. If you can't stand the check, you are likely to not be able to raise money; If it is funded, the valuation will also be very low. ”

"Hmm...... Got it. I'd like to invite them to come and have a look, and I'd like to see them all the time. "Huang Ligong has his own calculations. Xu Qianqian is right, this financing is not in place, even if it is finally in place, the impact on enterprise management will be great. However, the goal of engagement is not just to raise money, it can be something else. At this stage, what Kunpeng Robot needs most is not money, but market recognition. Recognition and acceptance. As an entrepreneur, he will do everything as long as it is helpful in front of him. In fact, this time in India, he did not have too high hopes of winning the bid, after all, he had just entered this field, and if he really won the bid, how to achieve the production capacity of thousands of units is more difficult or even impossible. His real desire is to smash the opening on the user side and establish the popularity and recognition of Kunpeng robots. In another half a year, you can really fight in the market. Although the process was tortuous, the goal was indeed achieved, and even exceeded expectations.

Later, he learned that the Indian project is not easy to do, even after winning the bid, the Indian side will still endlessly lower the price and raise the requirements, and finally the winning bidder Xiongye Company turned on the horse, involving countless energy, but could not earn a few cents, and finally calculated, it was a loss. If you count the distant final payment, it is simply a loss. Looking back, the Kunpeng robot has earned the best results. Huang Ligong talked about this incident at the dinner, and liked to end with one sentence: This is the will of God, Lao Huang can't die, Kunpeng should stand.
