It's probably like showing off.
Let me tell you, I've collected this and that.
Hey, don't get me wrong. These things are just for you to see, to make you envious. If you ask him to sell them, he absolutely won't.
Some people have items that are unique; there's only one of its kind in the world.
The item Qin Jingru was carrying was said to be from the imperial palace during the Tang Dynasty.
Talking about price is beneath the surface. That kind of thing is a national treasure.
"Ahem." Wang Shouren coughed twice: "Let me say something fair. That person, Jingru, had never even touched Go before. She just learned for a few days and beat the old man. That shows she's good. She was willing to accept defeat, so what's wrong with that?"
"Pfft... Hahahaha..." Lou Xiao'e laughed so hard she bent over, slapping the table as she laughed.
Wang Shouren looked at Lou Xiao'e with some confusion.
"Ask her yourself!" Qin Huairu angrily pinched Qin Jingru twice more, making her wince in pain.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you... Hahahaha..." Lou Xiao'e laughed so hard she could barely breathe: "When she played chess with someone, she would think for a long time from the very first move. She even brought her own food and managed to keep the old man entertained from morning till night. The old man was not convinced and had his grandson bring him food, but she stole his food. Only then could the old man not hold on any longer and resigned."
Wang Shouren: ...
Wow, wow! A tactical genius!
"It doesn't matter how I won, I won anyway."
"How dare you! Return it tomorrow!"
"No! That's a genuine priceless treasure!"
"you!"
"Alright, alright, maybe the old man just likes to be friends with girls like Jingru," Wang Shouren said, offering a fair perspective.
"Girl?!" Qin Huairu pointed at Qin Jingru, looking at her still somewhat youthful face, and for a moment she couldn't find a reason to refute her.
"What's wrong with that! I'm a girl!" Qin Huairu puffed out her chest, looking proud.
Lou Xiao'e, who had been smiling to the side, suddenly reached out and pinched Qin Jingru's face, giving it a good rub. Qin Huairu glanced at it and joined in.
Qin Jingru is a full twelve years younger than Qin Huairu, who is about the same age as Lou Xiao'e. Therefore, in this family, Qin Jingru has always been treated like a doll, constantly being pampered. Later, after Xu Weiwei joined the family, things improved somewhat, but not much, since Xu Weiwei was often away on business. Right now, she's arguing with her son at the Xu family home.
Xu Yuanzheng didn't go to take the entrance exam for a Party school or anything like that, as the Xu family had imagined—he was qualified. He chose to become a doctor. Xu Weiwei was furious about this.
She had already planned it out. If Xu Yuanzheng excelled in his studies, she would see what he was interested in, ideally a career in government. That way, the family fortune she had accumulated could be used as a political asset to promote him when he got to a local post. If that didn't work out, he could follow in the footsteps of his older siblings and set up a laboratory; that would also be very promising.
But he insisted on becoming a doctor!
It's not that the doctor is bad; the doctor is very good.
But I'm so tired!
As for the money doctors earn, to be honest, this family is far from lacking it. Even if someone were incredibly greedy, extremely greedy, or amassed a fortune, it wouldn't matter to the Wang family a fraction of it. According to Wang Shouren himself, the development of modern hospitals owes much to his contributions, and if he wanted, he could immediately establish a hospital that leads the country in its field.
For the Wang family, money is just a number.
Being a doctor is a lifelong profession, and it's a very tiring job throughout your life.
Xu Weiwei didn't want her son to be so tired. But she couldn't persuade him, so the mother and son went home to argue.
So, in this family, only Qin Jingru, who usually calls herself "Empress" but whose actual status is equivalent to that of a doll, is left.
In the end, she couldn't escape it. To be honest, over the years, Lou Xiao'e has grown increasingly reluctant to go to Hong Kong. She feels that the atmosphere there is becoming more and more hostile. Therefore, she prefers her small courtyard at home.
In summer, they would come to Beijing; in autumn, they would go to Guangdong; and if all else failed, they would go to Hainan.
Each house was uniquely designed and perfectly proportioned. To be fair, the construction team in Qin Family Village has improved their skills in recent years, and the houses they've built are of a fairly high standard.
Watching the three women bickering and joking, Wang Shouren figured it wasn't his business anymore. He was just about to leave.
Then they heard a knocking sound coming from outside the door.
Well, here comes another troublemaker.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Tian's old face came into view.
Wang Shouren sighed: "I say, don't you really have any government affairs to handle? Why are you running around here with me all the time?"
"Political affairs? What's that?" Qin Tian glanced at Wang Shouren: "Serving you well is more important than any political affairs."
Indeed, given Wang Shouren's current stature, whatever the higher-ups want to do, if Wang Shouren is interested and gets involved, the benefits are obvious to anyone who uses it. That year, Wang Shouren acquired a lot of things from Russia, and as a result, the higher-ups set up many laboratories. Among them, Wang Shouren selected some that interested him and invested in them.
At first, the older scientists didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Later, they finally saw what it meant to be rich and powerful.
Good grief, they're short of equipment?
No problem, just name your price and I'll get it done! I have connections overseas!
Are they short of people? Or are they short of experts?
No problem. I'll poach talent from the US. It's a bit difficult, but with a generous reward, there will always be brave men. Wang Shouren offered prices that were unimaginable to most Chinese people at the time, and he managed to lure several top talents over. Actually, deciding where talent stays isn't that complicated. Just think of the two countries as two companies. Whichever offers better conditions, they should go where they want.
Everyone has their own scale in their heart.
This is a process of adding or subtracting points.
For example, if this person is a local and the business is a local company, they will have a positive impression of that company. However, if that company requires daily overtime and offers a monthly salary of 3,000, while a company in another city doesn't require overtime, offers a monthly salary of 5,000, weekends off, various benefits, and a better working environment, the choice is obvious.
This is a horizontal comparison of conditions. It's very simple: if the money is high enough, there are quite a few people willing to travel abroad for business.
As a result, the professors who had collaborated with Wang Shouren became less interested in collaborations with others. Of course, this situation continued until the national finances improved, at which point he decisively stopped. He reasoned that one shouldn't take too much of the profits from patents; the benefits of patents are substantial.
