The car factory project is proceeding smoothly.
After half a month, all the terms were finally finalized. As long as the funds are in place, construction can begin.
In order to train technicians for automobile companies, some vocational colleges have started to offer related courses.
The rest of the time will be for sightseeing and exploration.
This was arranged by the government, and many Chinese people traveled to several important tourist attractions in the country on the special train.
He Jingyu, Bai Qiongyu, Qi Shuliang, and others did not want to go, so they stayed at home.
They returned to China mainly to spend time with their families, not for sightseeing.
Qian Zhigao also returned to Yanjing with his wife and children.
Qian Shikun and his wife, Liao, invited He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie, and He Jingyu and his wife to their home.
He Jingyu and his wife talked with Qian Shikun and Liao Shi. He Jingyu was familiar with Qian Shikun and had a lot to talk about. Liao Shi had lived in Hong Kong for many years, and Wang Shuping had been abroad for a few years, so the two could also get along well.
Qian Zhigao had his wife Xie Wanying keep He Tiantian company while he called Huo Yingjie out to chat.
Qian Zhigao took out his briefcase, which contained this year's accounts, and said, "These are the company's accounts. You have one copy, and I have another one. In the first half of the year, because your patent for the video recorder and videotape was licensed, you received a total of one and a half million US dollars in patent fees."
"Only 1.5 million?" Huo Yingjie was taken aback. "Why is it so little?"
“Because it’s a new product, many people are uncertain about its prospects and are requesting a one-year license. And this is only for the US and Hong Kong. I’m sending people to negotiate with European countries,” Qian Zhigao said. “However, I’m very optimistic about your product. They will definitely extend the license period after this year.”
Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Yes, for next year, the annual licensing fee will be $800,000 in Hong Kong, $5 million in the United States, and $5 million for European countries, depending on which competitive companies we choose. As for Japan, it will be $8 million."
Although Qian Zhigao was optimistic about the patent, he dared not even think about the licensing fees!
"This...this is way too high!" Qian** asked doubtfully. "I'm worried it won't work..."
“It’s definitely possible. In the past, everyone could only watch on TV, but TV programs were fixed, and you couldn’t watch whatever you wanted. Especially movies, so people could only go to the cinema to watch movies, but cinemas only showed the latest releases, and it was difficult for people to watch older, great movies. If we could burn those great movies and TV series onto videotapes, and then rent or buy them whenever we bought a VCR or player, wouldn’t that be a great deal?”
Qian Zhigao listened and agreed that it was indeed true.
"Okay, I'll try my best next year," Qian Zhifei said. "By the way, shouldn't we have an upgraded version of this patent?"
“Yes!” Huo Yingjie said, “But these are enough for now. Once this hype dies down, I will release new related upgrade patents for you.”
"That's good." Qian Zhigao immediately felt confident that as long as he followed Huo Yingjie, his future achievements would only grow.
Previously, he was just a law professor at Hong Kong University, occasionally helping people with lawsuits. However, he keenly realized that patents were a very promising field in the future. He then happened to meet a brilliant person like Fok Ying-kit, and they hit it off immediately.
The past six months have been tough, but very fulfilling.
"I'll leave the work to you over there," Huo Yingjie said. "If you need anything, you can contact Tiantian."
“Okay, I will,” Qian Zhigao said. “By the way, after I go back this time, I plan to resign from my university teaching job and focus on our cause.”
“Very good, you won’t be disappointed,” Huo Yingjie said. “I have some more things over there, I’ll organize them in a few days and then give them to you. If you manage it well, it will definitely make you a millionaire within three years.”
"Then I'll thank you in advance," Qian Zhigao said, feeling more confident.
His wife's family, the Xie family, was a prominent local clan. Although not extremely wealthy, they were well-off. They had gone through many hardships before finally getting together. However, his in-laws looked down on him, which was a huge blow to him, but fortunately, the couple had a very good relationship.
He himself didn't care, only feeling bad once or twice a year, but he didn't want to wrong his wife, so he was prepared to take a gamble and give her a rich material life so that she could hold her head high in front of her family.
"Do you need me to transfer this money?" Qian Zhigao asked. "If not, I can transfer it to your Swiss bank account for future use."
"I don't need it for now. Just deposit it in the bank for me. Don't use my name, use Sweetie's." Huo Yingjie smiled wryly. Sigh, his current work status is too troublesome.
However, I can't resign yet, so I can only continue to feel this stifled.
“Okay.” Qian Zhigao asked, “The economic situation is good now, and I’ve heard some people from Hong Kong are planning to open factories in the mainland. This is a very good opportunity. I originally wanted to persuade my father-in-law and brother-in-law to set up factories here, but they seem to be less optimistic about the mainland, so I’ve given up on it.”
"Hehe, that requires foresight," Huo Yingjie said. "Some people might be hesitant and miss out on this opportunity. But you can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to. Doing your job well is better than anything else."
“Yes!” Qian Zhigao laughed. “That’s what I think too.”
He had already put aside past grievances and reminded them, but his father-in-law's family wouldn't listen, so there was nothing he could do!
They settled their matters and had a pleasant day.
When they arrived home, He Tiantian saw that Huo Yingjie was carrying a briefcase. When she opened it, she found it was full of account books.
"Brother Yingjie, what kind of ledger is this?" He Tiantian asked. It was written in English and Chinese.
“Qian Zhigao gave it to me,” Huo Yingjie said. “We now have an extra $1.5 million in cash.”
"My God, so much!" He Tiantian exclaimed. She was busy running her shop, and she only earned that little money in a year. Huo Yingjie, on the other hand, just got a patent and made so much money.
“Not much left, there will be more next year,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ve saved it in your name. If you need the money, I can have Qian Zhigao transfer it to you.”
He Tiantian was taken aback, then waved her hand and refused, saying, "Not for now, it's too much money, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Let's talk about it in a few years."
"Okay." Huo Yingjie nodded. "I'll do whatever you say."
"Brother Yingjie is amazing!" He Tiantian praised. "In the blink of an eye, our family has so much money. I can hardly believe it."
“What’s there to be afraid of? There will be even more to come, so don’t worry about money. Don’t push yourself too hard,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ll take care of everything!”
