The appearance of three books was a must.

Comrade Lü has already arranged for people to look for them. Of course, in terms of flexibility, Xing Baohua's overseas companies can play a greater role.

Make a call to the staff at DaMei. No matter what time it is, you have to answer the boss's call. Write down the book title, go to the library first thing tomorrow morning, and send someone to deliver it to the Capital Airport as soon as you find it.

Xing Baohua found it amusing to read the old bookworm's post. Daring to settle in his old lair, he must be fearless!

Unfortunately, at this critical juncture, Xing Baohua is like a general without a general in Shu!

Those who were able to use it were mostly busy at the beginning trying to remove the virus from the IBM hard drive.

There are quite a few other employees, I'm not at ease with them! They don't have a sign on their foreheads that says I have a clean record, who knows if they might have another identity!

This is the consequence of hiring the wrong people back then, but Xing Baohua has to swallow this bitter pill himself.

Many important things cannot wait, especially certain achievements, the benefits of which outweigh the drawbacks.

That's why Xing Baohua has achieved what he has today. He has expanded his business, but the consequences are what we see now.

Now that relevant departments are helping, if you were in the future and it didn't affect related security, who would care about your business secrets? Unless you have evidence, maybe the police would help you investigate; otherwise, you can only recover your losses through litigation.

However, in Xing Baohua's eyes, the patents related to rice are indeed worthless; most of them belong to others. It takes some skill to gather a group of thieves together.

He was going to Hong Kong, but not now. Xing Baohua asked Comrade Lü to gather people first, and Xing Baohua would take them there to keep an eye on things. He needed to return as soon as possible.

After all, there were some important matters that required his personal attention.

It has now been confirmed that Dami Technology Company is hiding a heavyweight figure who can access the HK forum via satellite, receive instructions, and then send them to Dami or other hidden individuals in the surrounding area.

So far, only Hou Qian has been exposed; the others have not yet been found.

How to find this important figure? In the end, they decided that they could only use Hou Qian to continue fishing.

Professional matters should be left to professionals; Xing Baohua could only allocate resources to assist them.

After arranging some things, Xing Baohua received a call from Chen Shuoyue, who was far away in Japan.

Xing Baohua arranged for this guy to work on some games in Japan and also at the Minikon Lab.

Just then, the game made some progress, and since Xing Baohua couldn't come over for the time being, he had to come back to report on the work progress. In addition, MINICON made some progress in digital cameras, so he also brought his staff over to report on the work together.

Xing Baohua was very satisfied with Chen Shuoyue's work attitude. Being young is great; she's energetic, driven, and ready to work even with minimal effort.

Xing Baohua chuckled on the phone and said, "Okay, if both of them are successful, I'll give you a staff apartment in either the capital or central Shandong."

Are they employee housing? Yes, there are many. You need to work for a certain number of years before you can get full ownership rights. There's no such thing as a property certificate yet; they're all small, collectively owned properties.

Even if it's a small property right, it's not truly yours. So, this thing is just a way to whet people's appetites; you have to work for a certain number of years before it becomes yours.

Just before he was about to leave work, Xing Baohua received a call from his future mother-in-law, who invited him to her home for dinner on the weekend because Hou Qian's parents were coming over.

If he's coming, he's coming. Why are you calling him?

To be honest, even if I were married to Su Ya, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me not to attend this occasion, since she's a distant relative.

Perhaps aware of this strained relationship, the mother-in-law told Xing Baohua that his father-in-law was also there and happened to need him for something.

With this reason, I have to go whether I want to or not!

Anyway, it's not urgent. If it were really urgent, I would have gone to his house already.

Chen Shuoyue arrived in central Shandong on the afternoon of the second day, accompanied by two Nikon technicians, who were also her own people and had been transferred from the Nikon Lab.

Xing Baohua originally wanted them to rest early and report on their work tomorrow, but Chen Shuoyue first showed Xing Baohua the research and development results of Minikon.

A digital camera appeared in Xing Baohua's office.

It's as ugly as can be. This isn't an engineering prototype; it's a legitimate product!

"Who designed this exterior?" Xing Baohua asked, pointing at the digital camera.

The technician from "Kumano Saburo" rice said.

“I’ll fire him later. With that kind of taste, no matter how good something is, no one will buy it after just one glance. He’s just wasting good stuff,” Xing Baohua said.

"Many important things were developed under his leadership. It's not that we didn't want to get involved, but we simply didn't have the capability," another technician said.

Hearing this, Xing Baohua sighed. Indeed, the rice workers sent there learned from them, and many of their techniques followed the same approach. It wasn't a lack of equipment, but a lack of technical expertise.

When people said there were no SLR cameras in China, they were referring to digital cameras. There were, however, two companies that could independently produce film-based SLRs.

One family is Seagull, the other family I forgot.

We already had mature technology for mechanical SLR cameras, which were very popular in China. The key point was that at that time, ordinary people couldn't buy imported products, and they didn't have much money to buy them either.

This led to the booming sales of domestically produced cameras.

As for later digital SLR cameras, we simply didn't have the capability. Let alone producing the electronic components ourselves, we might not even be able to replicate them. Furthermore, we were restricted by imported chips, so we could only watch helplessly.

Another aspect is the lens, the electric focusing technology, and the optical lenses used, all of which are far behind those of other countries.

Due to these factors, there was no domestic company capable of replicating it, creating a huge gap in the market.
