This time, Qiao Liang came to Fushan in vain.

Once again, Wang Weidong rejected his proposal to buy a tube factory.

Qiao Liang finally said: "This should be the last time I will come to see you." After a month, the plant will be worthless! ”

Ou Xiaoyang called from other places to inquire about the current situation of the electron tube factory.

"At the current output, the factory will be able to produce for another month." Wang Weidong replied,

"What are you going to do in a month?" Ou Xiaoyang asked.

"I'm just spending money to support these workers, and I won't let this factory go out of business! I'm going to throw millions into it, and I'm going to see how many balls Wesen has pulled up with its tail pouted! Wang Weidong replied.

"Weidong, Song Yu and I talked on the phone in private, and I think he has the intention of backing down." Ou Xiaoyang said.

"It's normal for him to think like this now, and the factory is in this situation, if it continues to hold on, tens of thousands of dollars will be lost every day. If he quits now, his share will belong to me, and I will compensate him with the money from the sale of scrap steel, and if you want to quit too, I will also compensate you. Wang Weidong said.

"I won't quit, the big deal is to lose millions of dollars, we've been friends for many years, I support you to the end!" Ou Xiaoyang said.

Mr. Barentin and several engineers and skilled workers from the northern powers studied the dozens of tubes sent by Shi Kewei every day, and now the ministry will not place any more orders, so even if they succeed in copying these tubes, it will be useless.

When Wang Weidong went to see them, Barentin asked solemnly, "I heard that the factory is about to shut down, is this true?" ”

"It is true that the factory has not received new orders, and now it can maintain production for half a month, but you can rest assured, continue to work with peace of mind, and there is no problem with your remuneration at all!" Wang Weidong replied.

Wang Weidong also paid $300 a month for the technical experts and workers from the big northern countries, and Wang Weidong paid him $3,000 a month for people like Mr. Barentin Ying.

This money allows Barentine to live a good life in the future when he returns to the northern powers.

Of course, for a world-renowned authority on tubes, three thousand dollars is cheap.

To pay these experts and workers from the north, Wang Weidong spends tens of thousands of dollars, or hundreds of thousands of yuan, every month.

Add in more than 100 Chinese workers and other expenses in the factory, and it could be in the millions every month.

This is the reason why Qiao Liang thinks that Wang Weidong can't persevere.

Wang Weidong walked out of the factory and saw Master Huang, who was in his seventies, standing at the door of the canteen, waving to him.

Wang Weidong walked over, and Master Huang led him into the house. On the table was a plate of shallots mixed with tofu and a plate of fat sausages.

"Let's have a drink today!" Master Huang said.

Wang Weidong sandwiched a chopstick with shallots and tofu in his mouth and chewed, the chef is indeed different, even the home-cooked dish of shallots and tofu is better than others.

Master Huang took a sip of wine and said, "This life is impermanence!" When I was very young, my parents died, and I ran to Harbin alone to ask for food. An old Russian recruited me into a Russian restaurant to wash dishes and wash dishes, and slowly, I actually learned a whole craft. In the 50s, Xiangyang Chemical Factory went to Harbin to recruit people to cook for experts from major northern countries, and I was selected. At that time, I was envious of other people, and they all thought that I had taken shit luck, and as a result, I was mixed up in Xiangyang Chemical Factory for decades, and sometimes I also thought, if I hadn't been selected at that time, and now I am still in Harbin City, I may already be a well-known chef, but as a result, now I only earn more than 100 yuan a month for retirement, this is fate! In the past few decades, I have brought so many apprentices, and none of them have mixed up except you, this is also fate! Sometimes fate must be there eventually, I think you kid is a promising person, people have nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties in their lives, and it will be over if you break through! ”

That night, Wang Weidong drank nearly a pound of wine. I went back to the office and fell asleep on the cot.

Sleeping until midnight, Wang Weidong felt thirsty, he got up and looked for water to drink in the dark, but he heard the big brother ringing non-stop.

When Wang Weidong answered the phone, he heard a woman say in Russian: "Why did you answer the phone?" ”

Hearing this woman's voice, Wang Weidong immediately sobered up, and he asked rhetorically, "How can you call me?" Aren't you in Vladivostok now? ”

"I'm in Guang City, Guangdong Province now, you come to see me immediately, remember, don't tell others, come quietly alone." Goncharova said on the phone.

Putting down the phone, Wang Weidong lit a cigarette in the dark and smoked slowly. Halfway through his cigarette, he threw him on the floor, and then quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Asked the security guard to open the big iron gate of the factory, Wang Weidong walked a few hundred meters, beckoned a taxi, and then went straight to Guangzhou.

In less than an hour, Wang Weidong was already standing outside the Yuexiu Hotel where Goncharova had collapsed.

Wang Weidong walked into the hotel, checked in at the front desk, and walked into the room under the guidance of the waiter.

After letting the waiter leave, Wang Weidong turned off the lights in the room, sat on the sofa and dialed a number, and said into the microphone: "I'm already here, it's in room 306, and the door is not locked." ”

Ten minutes later, the door opened silently, then quickly closed again.

It is the moment the door is opened and closed, by the light in the hallway. Wei Weidong, who was sitting on the sofa, had already seen Goncharova's face clearly.

Goncharova also saw Wang Weidong sitting on the sofa.

In the dark, Goncharova gently walked over and sat down on the sofa.

"Why are you here?" Wang Weidong asked.

Regarding Wang Weidong's curiosity, Goncharova chose to ignore it directly.

"I already know about you, what do you plan to do in the future?" Goncharova asked.

Even from thousands of kilometers away, this woman knows everything!

"I'm gambling all my money into it, at least for another year! I don't think the American company Weisen will come up with the technology and capital to invest in China, and when China doesn't have a factory to produce those much-needed tubes, they may soon stop exporting tubes to China. I can't afford it, they can't afford it, we can't talk about a year and we can't get technology funds to China, right? There will come a time when they will see through their hands and feet! Wang Weidong replied.

"I'm here for your sake this time, and of course for myself. Because part of the money you make is mine. Soon an overseas company will place an order with you, so that you can support it for a while longer. Goncharova said.
