Zhongcheng.

Meng Zhiyuan's humble office.

"Mr. Meng, Nanxing has acquired several machine tool companies." Lao Mao reported the situation.

"I've heard that, too.

Those are small companies with outdated equipment.

Nanxing's acquisition of them is not a good thing. Meng Zhiyuan is still silently paying attention to Nanxing.

Wait for Nanxing to show its decline, so that it will fall into the ground.

"Mr. Meng, under the suppression of foreign machine tool companies, Nanxing's life is not easy.

That is, Su Mingcheng has been throwing money so that Nanxing can survive. ”

"Su Mingcheng's vision is good.

Even if Nanxing goes bankrupt, with those patents, Su Mingcheng will not lose money. "Meng Zhiyuan values Nanxing's technology patents the most.

If Nanxing goes bankrupt, Meng Zhiyuan will definitely take those patents.

"Those patents are really important." Of course, Lao Mao also knows.

It is precisely because of these technical patents that the rapid change of domestic machine tools has been set off, which has brought Zhongcheng to today's situation.

"Lao Mao, how is our company's income and expenditure this month?"

"It's okay, in the case of saving expenses, the company's profit this month is not small, probably."

"Now is a difficult time for the company, and I hope everyone will work together to help Zhongcheng tide over the difficulties."

"Okay, definitely, Mr. Meng, don't worry, the people who stay now are all Zhongcheng's 'old men', and they will not leave Zhongcheng."

"That's good. I believe that as long as we survive this time, Zhongcheng will have great development in the future. ”

Meng Zhiyuan is now dormant, just waiting for the situation outside to change, and then come out to make trouble and soar into the sky.

A few months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Nanxing.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Wang, the research and development of high-end machine tools, there are many difficulties, and there are several technologies that cannot be broken through in a short period of time" Yang Cheng reported to Su Mingcheng and Wang Weidong.

Nanxing R&D Department, the situation of research and development of high-end machine tools, is not optimistic.

Yang Cheng reported on the research and development situation in detail, and there are many problems that cannot be overcome in a short time, which takes time to grind.

"Expected." Su Mingcheng's face was expressionless.

"It's normal to have difficulties." Wang Weidong frowned.

It is not so easy to develop high-end machine tools. Everybody knows that.

However, how to develop it next needs to be discussed.

In fact, there are only two options.

One is to continue to spend money on research and development.

The advantage of this is that high-end machines can be developed in the shortest possible time.

Disadvantages: large investment, high risk, and it is likely to lose all your money.

The other is slow development.

First of all, it is impossible for Nanxing to stop and develop high-end machine tools.

Therefore, in the case of difficulties, use time to grind slowly.

The advantage is that the investment is small and the risk is small.

The disadvantage is that the time to develop high-end machine tools will be greatly extended. The gap with foreign machine tool companies may be getting bigger and bigger.

"Mr. Su, I have discussed it with Yang Cheng, but it is better to use time to grind slowly, and I am not in a hurry." Wang Weidong said the next R&D plan.

Wang Weidong suggested that for the sake of prudence, it is better not to invest a lot of money in the research and development of high-end machine tools.

Now, Nanxing is worried about internal and external troubles, and Wang Weidong's suggestion is appropriate.

Su Mingcheng was noncommittal, looked at Yang Cheng and asked, "Yang Cheng, can you tell me more about the technical problems." ”

"Oh, good." Yang Cheng was slightly stunned, although he didn't understand why Su Mingyu asked, but he still said, "Mr. Su, the research and development of high-end machine tools has these aspects."

The first is ., in which there are five problems that cannot be solved in a short time.

It takes time to try slowly.

As far as I know, foreign machine tool companies have also developed them through long-term exploration and accumulation of experience. ”

"So be it." After listening to this, Su Mingcheng hesitated, "I will consult with relevant experts about the problems you said, and there may be a solution." ”

Yang Cheng said these questions.

For others, it's hard and I don't know how to solve it.

For Su Mingcheng, it is very simple, Su Mingcheng knows how to solve it.

Others, it takes a long time to accumulate experience and find a solution to solve the problem.

Su Mingcheng doesn't need it.

Su Mingcheng knows the optimal solution. (Su Mingcheng has already brushed all the skills on the earth.) Machine tool research and development, Su Mingcheng is also full level. ）

Now, Su Mingcheng plans to find a 'reasonable' excuse and tell Yang Cheng the solution.

That's right, Su Mingcheng plans to open a 'small hanging'.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Nanxing is backward, so it was beaten by foreign machine tool companies.

However, Su Mingcheng was not happy.

Su Mingcheng plans to take action to solve the problem, so that Nanxing can grow rapidly and overwhelm foreign machine tool companies.

"Talking to an expert?" Yang Cheng didn't understand.

Yang Cheng couldn't think of it, who could Su Mingcheng consult?

Unless consulted, R&D personnel of foreign machine tool companies.

But, how can the experts of foreign devils help?

Wang Weidong also looked at Su Mingcheng with some puzzlement.

Wang Weidong didn't know what Su Mingcheng meant.

Who to consult?

Who can consult?

Foreign devils won't help.

The Great Xia people who serve foreign devils won't help.

Who else can I consult?

"That's it for today." Su Mingcheng didn't say much and left directly.

"Mr. Wang, what does Mr. Su mean?" Yang Cheng asked. He was still stunned, and he didn't understand what Su Mingcheng meant.

"I don't know, let's wait and see." Wang Weidong didn't know what medicine Su Mingcheng was selling in the gourd.

Not a few days.

Su Mingcheng came to Nanxing again.

"Mr. Wang, call Yang Cheng and a few of them over." Su Mingcheng's face was a little happy.

"Okay." Wang Weidong didn't ask much.

Soon.

Yang Cheng and others came.

"Hello Mr. Su."

"No further ado. Yang Cheng, the problem you mentioned last time, some experts gave a solution.

He dictated it and didn't allow me to record it, and I wasn't allowed to write it down.

Now, I say, listen. ”

"Okay." Yang Cheng and the others were slightly excited.

"The first problem, the solution

The second. The third. Fifth.

I'm done, do you understand? Soon Su Mingcheng finished speaking.

Yang Cheng and the others didn't reply, they discussed in a low voice.

"The solution to the first problem should be correct and consistent with our R&D ideas.

The second solution can be verified like this

The latter solutions cannot be verified, and can only be tried after the first two solutions are successful."

Yang Cheng and the others discussed for a moment, "Mr. Su, the first two of these solutions you said should be feasible, and the latter ones can't be determined yet." ”

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he hesitated and asked something that shouldn't be asked, "Mr. Su, which expert are you consulting?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Now that the solution is possible, go ahead and look into it. Su Mingcheng sent Yang Cheng and the others away.

"Mr. Su, these solutions" Wang Weidong didn't want to ask, where did the solutions come from, but wanted to ask, how much money Su Mingcheng used to buy them.

"2 million ugly dollars." Su Mingcheng said the number casually.

"It's only 2 million ugly yuan?" Wang Weidong didn't think it was too much, but felt less.

If there is no solution, the money needed for research and development by Yang Cheng and others alone will definitely exceed 20 million RMB.

"Mr. Wang, this money is equivalent to my investment, you can help with the later procedures."

"No problem."

A few months later.

Yang Cheng and others, with specific research plans, broke through those five problems.

"Mr. Su, we succeeded!" Wang Weidong, Yang Cheng and others happily explained the research and development situation to Su Mingcheng.

"It's good to be successful. What's next? Su Mingcheng asked.

"Mr. Su, the first five problems are only the first step.

Next, there is a second step, a third step.

There are six steps in total.

At each step, there are six or seven puzzles.

The conundrum of this second step is "

"I see, wait for my news." Now that it has been opened, Su Mingcheng plans to continue to drive until a high-end machine tool is developed.

A few days passed.

Su Mingcheng came to Nanxing again.

"I've already asked.

It's still the old rule, I said, listen" Su Mingcheng gave a second step of the solution.

"Mr. Su, don't worry, we'll verify it right away." Yang Cheng and the others hurriedly left.

"Mr. Su, this consultation fee.?"

"This time it's a little more, three million ugly dollars."

"It's not much, Mr. Su, let's count it as your investment."

"Okay."

Another few months passed.

Yang Cheng and others verified the second-step solution, so that the research and development of high-end machine tools took a step forward.

"Mr. Su, we have a general idea of the problem of the third step, and it is like this." This time, Yang Cheng and they have improved.

When faced with a problem, they are no longer helpless, but have some solutions.

"Do you want me to consult again?" Su Mingcheng asked directly.

"Mr. Su, why don't you wait for us to try?" Yang Cheng and the others were a little embarrassed.

In the research and development of high-end machine tools, the first and second steps are all Su Mingcheng 'feeding' them.

Yang Cheng and others just verified whether other people's solutions were correct.

Yang Cheng and others felt that they had not contributed and were a little embarrassed.

"Okay, you guys try it first." Su Mingcheng agreed.

Time flies.

It's New Year's Day again.

Su Mingyu, Shi Tiandong, Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei, Xiao Mi, they are back.

Aerodrome.

Su Mingcheng came to pick them up.

Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also came.

Julie didn't come.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, little sister, little stone" Su Mingcheng waved his hand.

"Mingcheng!"

"Second brother!"

"Thin, Mingyu, why are you thin?" Su Daqiang cared about Su Mingyu first.

"Dad, I'm not thin, I've been running and exercising recently." When he worked before, Su Mingyu fought too hard, and his body was not so healthy.

Now, when he arrived in the Ugly Country, accompanied by Shi Tiandong, Su Mingyu began to run and exercise.

I'm thinner, but I'm healthier.

"Running? Why run when you have nothing to do, you see how much weight you have lost. Su Daqiang looked at Su Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, make more delicious food and let Mingyu make up for it."

That little stone can't be trusted.

He is a cook, and he also made Mingyu lose weight. ”

Su Daqiang didn't give Shi Tiandong face.

Su Daqiang is such a 'mean' person.

"Okay, Dad, I'll let Mingyu gain ten catties of meat in three days." Su Mingcheng agreed.

"Dad, you see, I've lost weight too." Su Mingzhe interjected.

"Don't tell me if you're thin, look for your Wu Fei." Su Daqiang rolled his eyes.

"Then let Mingcheng cook, make up for me."

Everyone talked and laughed, and went back to Taihu Lake Villa together.

"Mom, this is for you." Su Mingyu brought a gift to Zhao Meilan.

Of course, there are other people's.

"What kind of gifts to bring, don't be tired if it's so far." The relationship between Zhao Meilan and Su Mingyu has improved a lot.

The two of them can talk and laugh together.

Go shopping and shop for New Year's goods.

Furnish the villa together.

Su Mingyu and Shi Tiandong also went to the shore of the lake and arranged the place where Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan lived.

"Cheers!"

"The second brother's craftsmanship is still so good." Su Mingyu praised.

"Xiaoshi's craftsmanship has improved, but the progress is not obvious, and it is not as good as Mingcheng." Shi Tiandong also cooked, and Su Daqiang felt that he was still inferior to Su Mingcheng.

"Xiao Shi, what are you busy with in the ugly country?"

"Mingyu, how many years do you have to graduate?"

"Mingzhe, how are you at the company?"

"Wu Fei, you and the child are all right, right?"

"Second brother, what investments have you made recently?"

"Second sister-in-law, how is the supermarket business? What about online stores? ”

"Mom and Dad, you guys"

Parents are short things, everyone talks endlessly.

"Second brother, what is Zhongcheng's situation now?" Idle, Su Mingyu still wanted to know about Zhongcheng's situation.

"Zhongcheng is still the same, nothing has changed.

However, Zhongcheng has always been profitable.

Zhongcheng laid off a lot of people before.

The office building has also become an old office building.

Meng Zhiyuan has some ability to maintain Zhongcheng. ”

"Second brother, where are you Nanxing? Have you been developing any new technologies recently? ”

"High-end machine tools are being developed."

"Second brother, it's not so easy to develop high-end machine tools, right?"

"Of course it's not easy. However, Yang Cheng's performance is not bad, and there has been some improvement. ”

"It's good to make progress, second brother, are you throwing money at Nanxing again?"

"Yes, but it didn't cost much, that is, millions of ugly yuan."

"Second brother, have you invested and made money again?"

"It's okay, I recently sold a few houses, and the company I invested in before made a good profit."

"Second brother, Bitcoin has been fluctuating, do you want to sell it?"

"No hurry, wait."

"What about stocks? Second brother, what stocks have you invested in recently? ”

"I haven't bought A-shares recently, but I have bought some ugly stocks."

"Ugly stocks? What ugly stocks? ”

"That's it."

"Oh, I know, second brother, you can buy some for me too."

"Okay. Little sister, when did you and Shi Tiandong get married? ”

"Huh? This, second brother, is not in a hurry. ”

"Little sister, you're not too young.

This is the best age to have children

You'd better not miss it.

You're definitely going to have a baby.

For the sake of children, you have to get married early. Su Mingcheng talked about Su Mingyu's marriage, and called Shi Tiandong over.

"Xiao Shi, what do you and Mingyu think? When to get married? ”

"This, second brother, I listen to Mingyu." Shi Tiandong listened to Su Mingyu's words more.

"In that case, it's better to get the certificate now.

When the wedding is available, it will be rescheduled. Su Mingcheng made a direct decision.

"Hey, second brother, it can't be like this, it's too hasty, right?" Su Mingyu was anxious.

"It's decided, let's go, let's discuss it with my parents." Su Mingcheng acted resolutely.

told Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan about Su Mingyu and Shi Tiandong's marriage.

"It's time to get married. Let's get the certificate first, this, I'll see which day is a good day. Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also hope that Su Mingyu will get married soon.

"No way!" Su Mingyu stopped.

Su Mingyu doesn't want to get married yet.

"When I graduate, I'll think about getting married." Su Mingyu excused himself to still go to school and pushed down his current marriage.

Speaking of marriage, Shi Tiandong was asked about the house, car, and ticket.

"Well, I bought a small house before.

The car is not available, it can be bought.

If you have a deposit, it's not much, only "Shi Tiandong honestly said his family.

"That's it? It's not as good as my Mingyu. Su Daqiang looked contemptuous and sarcastically mocked Shi Tiandong.

"I'll try my best in the future." Shi Tiandong was not angry, his personality was more easy-going, and he promised Su Daqiang that he would work hard to make money. (End of chapter)
