However, Li Zhao didn't dare to connect this matter with himself, so he asked: "Aluminum, what aluminum is so important, let your ambassador fly back overnight, can you tell me, I'm quite curious." This wave of Li Zhao gave himself a full score, completely pretending to be a technician's curiosity about things.

Nastya was stunned by Li Zhao's curious expression at this time, this was different from what she thought, she thought that Li Zhao would definitely be ashamed of being exposed by her, and at least apologize. I didn't expect him to look like he didn't know anything, and now he directly made Nastya a little bit uncomfortable, how could she have experienced this. A little unconfidently asked, "Don't you know what aluminum is used in your bike?" ”

Li Zhao asked a little puzzled at this time: "Our bicycle is aluminum, is there anything wrong with that?" ”

Nastya was even more puzzled by Li Zhao's question, and then asked: "Aren't the employees of your rolling mill all rumoring that this aluminum is used by the Bald Eagle aircraft?" How could you not know about this? ”

At this time, Su Ya was also possessed by the drama spirit, and talked about the recent rumors in the yard with great interest, and it was really a bit of a husband and wife, Li Zhao also took advantage of Nastya's inattention at this time to give Su Ya a thumbs up. Su Ya is holding it like this next to her, and Li Zhao's performance is even more realistic, but this rumor was released by Li Zhao, how could Li Zhao not know that the two of them will really look good when they act.

Li Zhao also explained at this time: "You mean that rumor? Is that true, it shouldn't be. We applied to our superiors for aluminum to produce bicycles, and they gave us this aluminum, but we really don't know where it was used. These bikes are mainly based on the lightness of aluminum. As for the rumor, we don't know where it came from, but we didn't expect it to be true. ”

At this time, Nastya had already made Li Zhao and Su Ya's performance unconfident, so she asked the last doubt: "Then why don't you sell it to me when I asked you to buy a bicycle yesterday, if you sell it to me, I will be the one who makes the meritorious service, so that I can get a large bonus, have a good job, and share a good house." ”

Li Zhao also had a draft for this, so he said: "You say this, don't you know that your country does not recognize patent rights? Of course, we don't recognize it, but the countries we are going to export to recognize it. The cost of our bicycle is relatively high, and it is ready to be exported, which will become an important source of profit for our rolling mill in the future, which is very important for the rolling mill. ”

"Is there a patent problem, I understand this, I have read this content, what does it have to do with whether or not to sell my bicycle?" Nastya didn't understand what was going on until now, and continued to ask puzzled.

Li Zhao could only explain at this time: "If, I mean if, I didn't say that it would definitely happen." After you send the bicycle back, you think it's a good product in China, and when the time comes, it will be mass-produced and then exported, where can our rolling mill compete with you? The products we are going to export now are ready to be taken to the West to apply for patents, as long as the patent is applied, there is no problem with how much you want to buy. ”

At this time, Nastya asked a little puzzled: "We don't recognize patents, so if you apply for a patent, we can still imitate it, and it has more advantages than your rolling mill, isn't it the same to sell now and sell in the future?" ”

Li Zhaojian had already distorted Nastya's idea, so he continued: "How can this be the same, as long as we get the patent and you reproduce it, you can't sell it in the country where we have the patent." ”

This time, Nastya finally reacted and couldn't help but say, "I see. ”

Li Zhao also went on to explain: "This is only one aspect, and the other aspect is that we are afraid that someone will preemptively register patents. Don't you know, if you sell goods to the West before we have applied for a patent, if people in the West find that no one has applied for the relevant patent, then someone will preemptively register the patent. ”

"Once this happens, then if we want to sell products from them, we need to pay royalties to these people who have patents, and then we will lose a lot. You say that in such a situation, how can I possibly hand over the product to you? As for the domestic ones, then it doesn't matter, they simply won't be able to get the car out of the country. ”

At this time, Nastya had completely believed Li Zhao's words and asked, "Is this really the case?" So when can I buy this bike? I really like the shape and colorway, and although the opportunity to make a contribution is gone, I still like this bike, which is much more beautiful than the bikes sold now. ”

At this time, Su Ya also said: "Nastya, you should be happy, you must not involve troublesome things like intelligence, it is very easy to get into trouble, just like our family, as long as you work hard." ”

When Li Zhao saw this situation, he also understood why Su Ya said this, at this time, he had a relationship with Su Ya, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, there was nothing at present, but he was afraid that there would be trouble in the future, but now in this situation, you can't drive her away, after all, she is a diplomat, or someone she knows.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything about it, but now that Li Zhao has fooled Nastya, there shouldn't be any more moths, so he can put his mind at ease. He continued: "At the latest next year, in April next year, the patent application is already being processed, and it is estimated that it will be completed in March, and it will definitely be shipped in April." However, we may not be allowed to list in China, and if you want to buy it, you probably still need to go through the embassy. ”

What Li Zhao said is very likely, in the eyes of many people, Li Zhao's bicycle is not very practical, and it is likely that in order to protect the living space of the existing brand, the bicycle of the rolling mill is not allowed to be listed. It is unlikely to be allowed, at least in the last few years, and the car will essentially become an export exclusive.

At this time, Nastya had already believed Li Zhao's nonsense, and the main reason was that Li Zhao was unwilling to have much to do with them, and now this situation has given Li Zhao a headache. However, Nastya was happy and said, "There is no problem with going through the embassy, as long as you can buy it." ”

Seeing that Nastya didn't take this moment to heart at all, Su Ya asked, "Nastya, why don't you take the opportunity to return to China together?" You must know that it is not easy for you to go back, and the trains are calculated by the week, so why not take a plane back this time if there is a free flight? Aren't you missing an opportunity? ”

Hearing this, Nastya was a little gloomy and said; "I don't have time to go home with them, our country is too big, and going back with them, it will take me more than a week to go home and take the train back and forth. And I don't have any money, I have only saved more than three hundred rubles so far, and if I travel, I will soon run out. ”

Hearing this number, Li Zhao didn't know if it was much, if it was in China, it would be too much, and it would be thousands when converted, but for Da Mao, this money was not much. The living expenses of ordinary workers there are forty or fifty rubles a month, and if they really don't have enough to travel, it is probably equivalent to sixty years later, with only twenty or thirty thousand dollars in their hands to travel, and they can basically only travel poorly, and the money will be spent if they are not careful.

Li Zhao had no choice but to echo: "In your country, there is really not much, your living expenses are too high, and your monthly expenditure is basically forty or fifty rubles, and it is mainly food expenditure, and the price of grain is too high." ”

Nastya agreed, saying, "Yes, we're too close to the poles to grow in many places. That's why I don't want to go back, I don't have a place to cook, and I estimate that it will cost me more than 100 roubles for ten days, and here I can at least have a working meal at the embassy. ”

Su Ya also said at this time: "You will live this life, but it will be so troublesome for you to go home." ”

Nastya also said at this time: "We usually don't go home, I'm an adult now, and I usually live alone, just go back to see my parents occasionally, and I don't attach as much importance to family as you do." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and Nastya went back to the backyard, and Li Zhao said to Su Ya at this time: "It's really good to cooperate, come and reward one." As he spoke, he hugged Su Ya and kissed her.

After sitting down, Li Zhao continued: "I found out that we bought New Year's goods hastily, and I asked my father today to find out that the material factory actually received hundreds of tons of New Year's gifts brought from all over the world, and it is estimated that it will be sent in two days." I look at Master Zhang's posture, we estimate that we will share a lot, and we may not be able to finish eating for a long time. ”

Su Ya was also surprised when she heard this, and asked, "How did you receive so many supplies?" I heard Lou Xiao'e say that the rolling mill only distributes more than half a catty of candy per person, and our newspaper office is similar, and everything is purchased by the newspaper. ”

Li Zhao saw Su Ya's resentful face, and said with a smile: "Look when you are free, I will take you to the material factory, how about you pick it yourself?" I've heard there's a lot of good stuff in there. ”
