Chapter 849: Ninety
In a flash, it was January 1990.
On a transoceanic flight from the United States to China, Song Yuanchao, who was sitting in the first class, closed his eyes and waited patiently for the flight to arrive at the airport.
Time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of 1990, and Song Yuanchao was 35 years old this year.
Eleven years ago, Song Yuanchao, who returned to this era, was still a 24-year-old young man, and now he is gradually entering middle age, and his temples also have some gray hair.
Last year, Song Yuanchao went to the United States and stayed in the United States for more than half a year.
This time, Song Yuanchao went to the United States mainly to deal with the affairs of the American branch, plus some other investment projects.
In the past two years, the development of the American branch has been good, especially the laboratory of the American company, which has made many technological breakthroughs in Song Yuanchao's requirements and projects, and is now well-known in the industry.
Since the beginning of the previous year, under the instruction of Song Yuanchao, the U.S. branch began to deepen the computer and communication aspects, and has achieved success in several key projects and successfully obtained patents.
Next, Song Yuanchao plans to continue to intervene in the communications market, and exchange computer patents for Motorola and other companies for the communications product patents he needs.
In addition to these, Song Yuanchao also bought the newly born MPEG decompression technology from C-Cube in California, and conducted in-depth research and development through this technology to realize the technical application of MPEG-2.
Many people may not know that this technology is described as MPEG-2, but it also has a name, which is the famous VCD. Moreover, MPEG technology also includes the application of MPEG-1 layer 3, which is abbreviated as MP3.
Speaking of which, it is impossible not to mention Da Liu's electronics factory.
Last year, Da Liu sold his electronics factory in Pengcheng to Shenghua, and Shenghua reorganized after getting Da Liu's factory and established Shenghua Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. and Shenghua Computer Co., Ltd.
At present, Shenghua 386 computer produced by Shenghua Computer Co., Ltd. is also called Shenghua 386 microcomputer because of technical reasons, but after owning the electrical company and its factory, Shenghua has initially solved the localization of computer products such as chassis, power supply, fan, keyboard and other peripherals.
The interview of Shenghua 386 microcomputer is slightly later than that of Great Wall microcomputer, but because the autonomy of the product is higher than that of Great Wall microcomputer, the production cost is also lower, and the market competitiveness is stronger. In addition, Shenghua 386 is more outstanding than the Great Wall microcomputer in terms of performance, and it quickly became famous after it was listed, and the market response was very good.
Several years ago, when the American company was first established, Song Yuanchao bought shares in Microsoft and several high-tech companies.
At that time, Microsoft's stock price was very low, in 1986, when Microsoft first went public, Microsoft's stock was only $0.08, and now the stock price has reached a high of $52.
Song Yuanchao's purchase of Microsoft shares at that time was not so low, but it was not much higher, and in less than 4 years, the purchase of Microsoft shares rose nearly 300 times, which is simply amazing.
This investment brought Song Yuanchao a huge return, although Song Yuanchao's shares in Microsoft are not much, but the rapid growth of the stock price has made Song Yuanchao have hundreds of millions of assets just by relying on this investment.
Not only that, Song Yuanchao also has a lot of investments in high-tech companies such as Apple, Intel, AMD, and Dell, although the returns are not as exaggerated as Microsoft's, but the same profits are unimaginable to ordinary people.
This time in the United States, Song Yuanchao adjusted some of his investments, and at the same time sold some stocks for cash, and returned some funds.
In order to avoid high taxes in the United States, Song Yuanchao invested nearly half of the funds in American companies, and some of the funds purchased several properties in the United States, including wine estates and farms in California and Montana.
Although the return on real estate investment is not as good as that of the stock market, it is better because the investment is stable, and in the long run, even if the investment is operationally balanced, it is still worth it in the face of actual currency depreciation and land appreciation.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of the radio sounded in the cabin, and the flight attendant with a good figure came to Song Yuanchao's side, leaned down and reminded Song Yuanchao that the plane was about to land, please fasten your seat belt.
Opening his eyes, Song Yuanchao nodded slightly to the other party to express his gratitude, reached out to fasten the seat belt on his waist, and then looked out of the porthole on the side.
At this time, the plane has entered the Shanghai Sea, and the urban appearance of the Shanghai Sea under the wing is unobstructed, and the scenery on the ground is becoming clearer and clearer as the altitude of the aircraft continues to decrease.
Finally, the plane landed safely at Huhai Airport and arrived at the terminal after a period of taxiing.
Song Yuanchao loosened his seat belt, walked out of the cabin under the guidance of the stewardess, and reached the terminal through the passage.
After taking a little time to pick up his luggage, Song Yuanchao walked towards the exit passage of the airport after passing the customs, and as soon as he arrived at the exit, he saw Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi waiting for him.
They haven't seen each other for a few days, although Song Yuanchao has been in contact with each other on the phone when he was in the United States, and everyone is very happy to meet again, especially Qin Zhengguo, who came up with a bear hug and slapped Song Yuanchao's back hard.
"Why are you here? Didn't you just say that the driver would pick me up? ”
Pushed Qin Zhengguo away in disgust, this guy is still so fat, even a few pounds fatter than he met before. It's strange to say, this guy has been shouting to lose weight, and he has also put it into practice to lose weight several times, but he has never succeeded once, he just lost less than a few pounds, and he rebounded back soon after, and even the weight after the rebound was heavier than before the weight loss.
"You, Hu Hansan, are back, can we pick it up in person?" Qin Zhengguo said with a smile.
On the side, Li Daqi also stepped forward and hugged Song Yuanchao, and after parting, he said: "You have been away for so long, you are at ease, and such a large number of stalls in the country have been lost to me and Zhengguo." It's good to come back now, and it can also make it easy for the two of us. ”
"Hahaha!" The three of them laughed at the same time, and then Qin Zhengguo and Li Daqi helped lift the luggage and beckoned Song Yuanchao to go.
They came to pick up Song Yuanchao without a driver, it was Li Daqi who drove over. After leaving the airport, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but tighten his coat, and got on the plane from the warm California, and obviously felt cold after arriving in Shanghai, but it was normal, now it is the coldest winter in Shanghai, and it will be the Spring Festival in a few days.
"This car is good!" Seeing the car driven by Li Daqi, Song Yuanchao was slightly stunned, it was actually a luxury Cadillac.
"It's okay to return the car, but the fuel consumption is higher, you don't take this car less in the United States, right?" Li Daqi opened the car door and said with a smile.
Song Yuanchao nodded, he did not sit in the United States, and he was familiar with this car, but he was still surprised to see this car in Huhai.
In fact, Li Daqi's car is not the first Cadillac in Huhai, Huhai had a private car in 1986, and the owner of A.Z0001 is a Cadillac, which is the same as Li Daqi's car.
Li Daqi's car also has a private car A.Z plate, but the number is much delayed, the three of them got into the car, Li Daqi drove out of the parking lot, heading towards the city, and asked Song Yuanchao about his harvest in the United States along the way.
Song Yuanchao briefly talked about his trip to the United States, and when he heard that Song Yuanchao had also purchased properties in the United States, Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo asked a few words with great interest, and then said that they would also go to see it after the New Year, and if it was suitable, they would also buy a few properties, and be neighbors with Song Yuanchao in the United States.
The three of them laughed and talked, and soon arrived home.
At home, Lin Yan and the children have been waiting for a long time, as well as Ying Caixia, Luo Lin, Li Xiaoyun, Zheng Li, and the Zhang family's family.
Song Yuanchao put down his luggage, hurriedly walked to the Zhang family's mother, and held her old man's hand with both hands.
The Zhang family's aunt is very good, the old people have also enjoyed happiness over the years, the conditions at home are getting better and better, the children are getting older, and the body is naturally good under the mood.
When she came back this time, the Zhang family's aunt was still a little fatter, she looked much more blessed than before, she took Song Yuanchao's hand and said a lot of words, Song Yuanchao chatted with the old man for a while, and took out the gifts she brought back from abroad, coaxing her to be happy.
Mao Mao and Yang Yang are already big children, and they will go to school this year. The two little ones look much more sensible and well-behaved than when they were young.
However, Nini secretly told Song Yuanchao that Mao Mao and Yang Yang are very naughty now, and the two of them are now little bullies in the kindergarten class, and they often bully their classmates.
Hearing Nini's complaint against herself, Mao Mao and Yang Yang hurriedly distinguished that they were not Xiaobawang, they were good boys. There is no such thing as bullying classmates, and every time there is a fight, it is because the bad boys in the class bully other classmates first.
Looking at the fierce debate between the three children, Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia's son Qin Wenchang is two years younger than his brothers and sisters, and now he is the age when he doesn't understand, staring at his big eyes and turning his little head from side to side, watching his sister and his brothers arguing.
As for the other little guys, the eldest is Song Yuanchao's daughter Song Zijun has just turned three years old, Li Daqi's son Mao Mao and Luo Yang's daughter are slightly more than two years old little dolls, the three little guys saw so many people in the family, and ran around the living room excitedly, screaming from time to time.
"This is home!" Looking at this lively scene, Song Yuanchao sighed in his heart.
In his previous life, he had no children and no daughters, and his relatives and friends had long since stopped contacting, except for the contact with Zhang's mother's family, Song Yuanchao usually returned home by himself.
At that time, home was just a place to rest and sleep for Song Yuanchao, and it had no other meaning. And now, looking at the children who are growing up, and his favorite wife, Song Yuanchao feels full of happiness.
Zhang Jianguo's daughter Xiao Pingping is already a big girl, and now she is in high school, and her childishness as a child has gradually faded, and she has a bit of girlish softness.
As for Zhang Hao, he is about to graduate from college this year, and I heard that he is going to study abroad. Song Yuanchao asked about his academic situation, and at the same time asked if he needed his help to arrange it, but Zhang Hao refused with a smile.
Zhang Hao told Song Yuanchao that he had decided to go to MIT, and submitted his application at the end of last year, and if there were no accidents, it should be safe to enter this university.
Hearing this, Song Yuanchao was happy for Zhang Hao in his heart, and at the same time asked Zhang Hao about the major he was going to study there and his future choices.
Zhang Hao answered Song Yuanchao's question and told him to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to continue his previous major, and at the same time study several majors in engineering to improve his level.
As for what to do in the future, Zhang Hao has not yet been finalized, but it should be related to aerospace. He has been fond of model airplanes since he was a child, and he did not give up this hobby when he was in college.
