Time crept into the night.

That night, Jiang Chen invited Hu Yang and others to dinner at the hotel, and had to drink some more wine.

When I came out to see Hu Yang and the others leave in the car, looking at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the night.

At this time, the city lights are bright and green, the gold fans are drunk, and the warm wind blows, as if it is like a Buddha, which is no worse than more than 20 years later.

"Are you alright?" On the side of the road, Xu Yue intimately handed over a cup of flower tea.

She couldn't remember how many times she had eaten with Jiang Chen, and she knew that she hadn't drunk as before.

He never forced her to drink.

Usually there is alcohol, and he also blocks it back, either saying that she can't drink it, or drinking it for her.

To this day, she still clearly remembers what he said when she went out to eat for the first time, girls should take care of themselves when they are outside, try not to get drunk if they can, and don't drink water and drinks given by others, water and drinks that have been out of sight.

In fact, she thinks that this world is not so bad, but he thinks too much and thinks too badly about people's hearts.

But that kind of meticulousness and care made her very useful, and every time she thought of it, she unconsciously felt a little sweetness in her heart.

Jiang Chen took the tea, took a deep breath, drank it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you're not full, if you're not full, let's eat more." ”

Xu Yue thought about it, straightened his sideburns, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Then eat some more, I guess you haven't eaten enough." ”

On this occasion, just drinking and talking, what really enters the stomach is very limited.

She was fine, she didn't drink, she ate silently, not particularly full, but not hungry.

Jiang Chen is worse, she basically gives her a pinching point throughout the whole process, and she really eats very little with chopsticks.

In addition, in such a night, at such a moment, she has such an impulse to eat a little more together, and to stay together for a while, just like that, the two of them, in this slightly drunk warm breeze.

Jiang Chen is similar.

In the past, the hotel had a lot of food, drinking, talking and laughing, which was needed for work, for socializing and expanding relationships.

You can't talk about being happy, and you can't talk about liking.

What he really yearns for is the kind of life that only has his own people, carefree and unrestrained.

So the two went to a barbecue stall together.

The file is the saying here, in fact, it is the store.

The business of the small shop is very good, it looks mediocre, its appearance is not good, but it is cheap, down-to-earth, and very popular.

"Or is that it?"

"That's it, and another beer."

In fact, I have eaten a lot of barbecue recently, and all kinds of seafood have become a little hot.

But this does not prevent Xu Yue from liking such a relaxed and private atmosphere.

As for drinking, nothing else, just simply thinking, as long as she is willing to do so on this occasion, Jiang Chen generally won't stop her.

So Jiang Chen ordered a bunch of eggplant, potatoes, oysters, squid, mutton, live fish, and asked for a bottle of beer.

One person poured a cup, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Don't drink much, just this bottle, drink and eat and leave." ”

Xu Yue held his cheek with one hand, raised his glass and touched it, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are the boss, I listen to you." ”

Just chatting, there was no sip of drinking, and soon the barbecue came up one after another.

I have to say, it's better than baking it yourself.

Xu Yue peeled a shrimp and sent it to Jiang Chen's mouth, and asked, "Let me ask a question, there are really so many rules abroad, and things can't be sold without patent authorization?" ”

It's an interesting question.

This question has been bothering Xu Yue for almost a whole day, but he has never had a chance to ask.

Jiang Chen ate the shrimp in one bite, took a charcoal-grilled oyster and put it on the plate in front of Xu Yue, and said inarticulately: "It's true that you can't sell it without patent authorization, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get into a lawsuit."

But when it comes to rules, it's not necessarily true, it's nothing more than whether it's worth not following the rules. ”

"How?" Xu Yue immediately became interested, there are many kinds of good-looking men, but Jiang Chen at this time is definitely her favorite one.

She liked his wise and confident appearance.

Just as she liked him at the wine table, talking and laughing with the big guys.

Jiang Chen took a skewer of leeks, and said with a smile while eating: "Simple, all rules are used to break, it's nothing more than worth it."

It's like a patent.

What does a patent do, on the surface, a patent is to protect intellectual property rights, respect knowledge, very high-sounding, irrefutable.

In fact, this is also a good thing, which is conducive to technological innovation and promotes the healthy and orderly development of society.

But is it really impossible to break this kind of rule?

Obviously not, it's nothing more than a price, whether it's appropriate or not, and whether it's cost-effective.

The cost is too high, it is not suitable, it is not cost-effective, and naturally the rules will not be broken.

Not only will it not be broken, but we must try to make everyone abide by it.

On the other hand, when the benefits exceed the cost, appropriate, and cost-effective, the rule is the paper in the toilet, and if it is torn, it will be torn. ”

In fact, it is very simple, just two words, interests.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, rules, that are made by people, are used to restrain others.

Why follow the rules?

That's because there are benefits.

On the other hand, it's not good, it's not suitable for me, it's a drag, and then it's time to abolish and break.

This is the nature of the Western world.

The essence of the Western world is that of bandits, and aggression and plunder are the genes engraved into the bone marrow.

Today they are patent-first and strictly enforced, not because they respect intellectual property rights, but because they are stronger, they are more technologically advanced.

If there is a day when the situation reverses, it may not be better than at home.

After listening to Xu Yue, she seemed to understand a little, "You mean, just our little thing, it's not worth breaking the rules abroad?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, if it is controlled nuclear fusion, then they will do everything to take advantage and even assassinate, but we are not even a fly in this regard."

No one is stupid enough to overturn an entire table of delicious food because of a single fly.

If there are flies on the dinner table, they will drive them away, and they will find a way to kill them, but we are not even flies, so naturally we don't have to worry about being targeted. ”

This is the underlying logic.

Foreigners are not born to follow the rules, and the reason why they obey them is not because of how noble their character is, but simply because they are not worthy.

Conversely, if there is a fish, a piece of meat, or even a yellow gold bar on the table......

It may have changed all of a sudden.

Patent?

No No No, that is the common wealth of all mankind, you have to hand it over, share it, and you can't take it for yourself.

It is also based on such a logic that foreign investors will not purchase products without patent authorization, but in essence, it has nothing to do with whether they abide by the rules or not.

Xu Yue understood: "So that's the case, I thought that foreigners were different, but they were of higher quality than us!" ”

It's kind of silly.

But in fact, don't talk about this, even in the next two or three decades, many people still think so.

Words must be quality.

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "The vast majority of people in this world have no quality, and they have nothing to do with China and foreign countries.

In many cases, the reason why people seem to have quality is because they have never been poor, and they don't have backache when they stand and talk. ”

Xu Yue thought about it and smiled: "That's right, if one day I'm about to starve to death, maybe I'll steal it too!" ”

After speaking, he picked up the oysters on the plate, picked out the meat and sent it to Jiang Chen's mouth: "Ah-"

"Well, you eat too."
