After the Zhao family enjoyed a delicious meal.
As night fell, Zhao Xinglan and Lin Shuier lay on their soft, large bed.
Lin Shui'er sighed, "Life here is really good, and the food is delicious too. I just wonder how the education is."
Zhao Xinglan hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we stay here and see what happens? Li'er isn't old enough yet. If it really doesn't work out, we can wait until he's older before sending him abroad."
"Weren't you worried about having nothing to do before you came?" Lin Shui'er was puzzled by her husband's reaction. He had always been against his father's return.
“Before we came here, my father analyzed it for me,” Zhao Xinglan said. “He told me that the domestic patent law is still under study, and our knowledge can provide a lot of help to the country. Therefore, we are needed to come back. After we come back, our monthly salary can reach 10,000 US dollars.”
"Ten thousand?" Lin Shui'er was even more puzzled: "That's not that high, is it?"
"No, that's relative. Here, the purchasing power of 10,000 US dollars is terrifying. How much do you think this courtyard we're staying in is worth?"
"How much? Three hundred thousand? Five hundred thousand?" Lin Shui'er tilted her head and estimated.
"No, without renovations, it would cost around three or four thousand US dollars."
"So low!" Lin Shui'er exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"Putting everything else aside, with China's population and this political center, if it develops in the future, the housing prices here will never be low. It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to increase many times over."
Anyone who lives in a developed country knows what housing prices are like. Especially now, before the bubble bursts, everyone's view on real estate is optimistic.
“Of course, I don’t know about the interior decoration of this room. Some things can’t be bought with money. However, it may still show that the factory manager offered a very sincere price. The reason I don’t want to come back is not because of the treatment, but because I’m afraid they don’t have a clear understanding of patents.” Zhao Xinglan said, “That’s the real reason I don’t want to come back, because in a sense, if we come back, it will involve not only patents, but also politics.”
“Our role depends on how much energy that factory director can exert, but today, I feel that he seems very powerful,” Zhao Xinglan said.
"Just because of this house?"
"It's not just about this house. I came here this time to see how much he understands patents. I also wanted to see what he thinks about other competitors in the same field. And what surprised me was that they seem to have their own technological barriers. They've even registered some patents in the United States through my father."
“But he didn’t tell anyone, he just registered quietly. I need to know what he’s trying to do.”
Zhao Xinglan said a lot.
But Lin Shui'er wasn't listening attentively. She knew her husband seemed determined to come to this still largely undeveloped country of China. However, she still had some doubts: would things proceed as her husband planned? Or, was there a huge risk in dedicating herself entirely to a company? But she kept these questions buried deep in her heart.
Because she knew that once her husband made a decision, it would be difficult to change his mind.
Perhaps this is a good thing, after all, we are all Chinese.
She said this to herself.
the next day.
The Zhao family split into two groups.
Lin Shui'er, Li Fu (Zhao Wuliang's wife), Lin Wanrou, Zhao Zeduan, and their grandson went out together.
Zhao Wuliang went to Dayun Motorcycle Factory with Zhao Xinglan.
To be honest, Zhao Xinglan didn't have a good impression of Dayun Motorcycle Factory. Construction was everywhere, and the dust on the road was so bad it was almost unbearable. However, things got a little better after he entered the factory.
But when they entered the laboratory and saw the extremely beautiful car, Zhao Xinglan changed her mind.
Putting everything else aside, just based on its appearance, Zhao Xinglan felt that it didn't matter if the place was a bit low-end.
A powerful pickup truck with strong and imposing body lines, it looks very much like an off-road vehicle from later generations.
"This car is currently painted green, but it will probably be painted white or black once it gets out of the market. It's equipped with the latest generation direct injection engine, four-wheel drive, and turbocharged technology. It comes in two versions." As he went on to explain, Wang Shouren handed the datasheets to the two men and invited them to get in and test drive the car.
Both of them couldn't resist; it's rare for a man not to like cars.
"I'll be selling this vehicle to the United States. I've heard that pickup trucks are quite popular there, so I think my source is correct, right?"
"You even offer different car models for different regions?" Zhao Xinglan couldn't help but ask.
“That’s natural; different regions have different preferences for cars.” Wang Shouren nodded.
Just like how SUVs are unique to China, when exporting them, they have to consider the needs of other countries. Americans like pickup trucks, so they offer leather versions; people prefer regular four-seater compact cars, so they offer compact cars. There's not much to say about that. Anyway, they'll fight price wars, and they'll fight technology wars too.
Just like he had told Qin Jingru before, there was a pickup truck that would sell for 100,000 US dollars, but his pickup truck was a high-tech one.
It's not the right time yet.
"So, what are the advantages of your pickup truck compared to a Dodge pickup truck?"
"Oh, it's a Dodge."
Dodge is an American pickup truck brand, priced in the mid-to-high range, and is very popular among Americans.
"Dodge's current level is still a bit lacking, Comrade Zhao Xinglan. I think I've mentioned it to you before. Our technology is far ahead."
Zhao Xinglan: ...
"It's all in the technical manual. Our 3.0T model has a maximum horsepower of 320, while the Dodge, if I remember correctly, only gets 170 horsepower..."
Wang Shouren's car completely outclassed Dodge's car in terms of engine, transmission, maximum load capacity, and maximum swaying ability.
His skills are far ahead of the competition, and I'm not kidding.
Even in 2021, Dodge's maximum power was only 370 horsepower.
If he weren't afraid of being too sensational, he could have added even more, but this number was already enough to drive them crazy.
However, upon hearing this, Zhao Xinglan was not happy. Instead, she frowned and said, "If you release this data, you might attract a lot of criticism."
