Speaking of Xu Yuanzheng, this kid...

That's really unlucky.

He was different from his older brothers and sisters.

I grew up in the Xu family, which has a very upright family tradition, so people tend to be quite traditional in their ways.

However, because he frequently returned to the Wang family and was exposed to some different ideas, he became somewhat lively amidst his rigidity.

When he was little, he didn't understand and even told his best friend that he had several mothers and that they were all very nice.

At that time, the way the children looked at him changed.

This includes kindergarten teachers.

Later, his grandfather told him that this was wrong.

So the little guy went home and questioned his father, telling him that this was wrong.

Then, he was ganged up on by several mothers and given a beating, while his father watched the show with a smile.

For the first time in his life, he learned what "human double standards" meant.

The little brain almost burned out its CPU in two families with completely different family traditions.

He still remembers his stepmother (Qin Jingru) crying and scolding him for being heartless. Looking back now, he realizes he was indeed quite heartless. All his mothers treated him well, and as for the Wang family's assets, there was no need to fight over them; when he was young, his older siblings all had their own businesses. His father said that when the time came, family members could take what they needed, and if not, he would donate it.

Whether he cares or not, he doesn't really care; he just needs to pursue his dreams.

That's why he chose medicine with such confidence. He doesn't need to earn money; he's financially independent. What's wrong with doing what he likes? What's wrong with that?

Because of this, his own mother ignored him and was angry with him.

Then he went to his maternal grandfather to complain. Not content with complaining to his grandfather, he also went to his aunt (Qin Huairu), his second aunt (Lou Xiao'e), and his stepmother (Qin Jingru) to complain. In the end, seeing his own mother get a beating, at the age of eighteen, he fully understood the saying, "Two fists can't beat four hands."

From then on, his mother found fault with everything he did, and he tried to avoid going home, spending most of his time at school and living in his dormitory when he started working. He would occasionally go home to see his family during holidays. His life was simple and fulfilling. The only thing missing was a girlfriend.

Now, it seems that this hurdle has been overcome.

Wang Shouren's home.

Wang Siren looked at his father with some helplessness. Well, he was in his forties, but his father looked even younger than him. His wife blinked, but couldn't bring herself to call him "Dad."

His own mother, who is also a grandmother, wore a cheongsam and gave off the air of a noblewoman. She didn't look old at all, which really worried him.

"Dad, you're not really some kind of monster, are you?" Wang Siren said with a serious expression.

Wang Ruiming rolled his eyes: "Come on, your son is already in college, how can you have such a vivid imagination?"

"Tsk, it's rare for you two to come back, what's wrong, can't take it anymore?" Wang Shouren glanced at them, his words dripping with sarcasm. He'd been badly let down by his teammates while playing games today, which had really infuriated him. He was still fuming.

"Sigh, I really can't take it anymore. I'm thinking of moving the company back here. What do you think?"

“You should have come back a long time ago. You can go and talk to Ren Zhengfei about the phone you guys are working on. You could collaborate on an operating system. Your stepmother also has shares in it, so it would be a powerful alliance. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't go out. If you sense danger, you should know what methods they'll use to keep people there.” Wang Shouren's expression turned serious.

2012 was a rather special year.

The rumored apocalypse did not occur; instead, many interesting things appeared.

For example, smartphones have officially matured. This mature smartphone is none other than Huawei's, developed under the guidance of Wang Shouren. Of course, this technology hasn't been sanctioned yet; it's important, but not that important. Most people are still using older devices, only the younger generation is upgrading and experimenting.

As a high-tech company.

Starting in 1986, its market value gradually became outrageous.

Wang Laboratories is more than just a company; it's a Fortune Global 500 company, consistently ranking among the top ten, making it incredibly prestigious.

From the beginning of the 21st century, Wang Shouren began to remind his son not to trust the people on the American side too much, lest he get himself into trouble. Fortunately, his son didn't have any rebellious thoughts and mainly listened to his advice.

"Speaking of which, it's my fault for dragging you into this," Wang Siren sighed and patted Wang Ruiming on the shoulder.

Wang Ruiming's lab also has one in the US, researching some slightly fringe topics. Originally, there wouldn't have been any problem, but after his brother's antics, well, running away is the best thing to do.

"It's nothing major. The relocation started a long time ago. The higher-ups need the materials we're going to research, and they've said they're willing to support me in building a lab. To be honest, I even made a little money."

Speaking of which, China's chip industry has gradually developed.

This is different from the previous life. In this life, before that swindler could use foreign chips to grind words and plan to swindle a large sum of money, domestic experts had already produced the chips.

Why? Because starting in 1981, Wang Shouren's demands for chips increased daily. His automobile factory needed more advanced industrial machine tools and intelligent machine tools. Therefore, he gradually invested in domestic high-tech research centers. In fact, in the 1980s, although China's chip research and development, including lithography machines, lagged behind the world, it wasn't far behind.

It's just that we're a few years behind.

The gap of those few years was completely bridged by Wang Shouren's money.

So when the conman pulled out the chip, everyone was stunned; no one paid for it. He didn't even know why. He didn't know that China had actually been capable of this for a long time; in terms of market availability, some domestically produced equipment was already ahead. It's just that everyone kept it hidden. The country's national strength hadn't reached that level yet.

What if that bald eagle over there gets desperate and does something rash one day?

They really couldn't hold on any longer. So, on the surface, they continued to make purchases as usual, while secretly accumulating strength and slowly eroding their own power.

These are things that outsiders are unaware of.

"Who would have thought..."
