Wang Weibao wanted to leave, but Xing Baohua felt he was still useful and couldn't let him go for the time being.
The band has only been training for a few days!
A bunch of kids who haven't had any systematic training need to be guided to listen to some famous rock music.
Wang Weibao is now their guiding light. At least he can tell these kids in the band about the techniques used in playing music.
Letting those kids speculate is too time-consuming; Xing Baohua doesn't have time to waste right now.
Despite Xing Baohua's strong insistence, Wang Weibao stayed.
Once the band gets into the zone, their skill level gradually improves.
Zou Wenjuan also sang loudly.
Hmm, that sounds really good. The drumbeats are intense. Grandpa Li, standing to the side, inexplicably started tapping his leg to the beat.
That's right. No matter how old you are, as long as you love music, you'll naturally move to the rhythm. If you're tapping your leg, and you're not shaking or bobbing your head while listening to rock, can you even call it listening to rock?
Why wasn't there an intro?
After they finished practicing a section, Xing Baohua went over to the band members and asked, "Didn't we tell you there would be an intro with vocals?"
Seeing that they all shook their heads, Xing Baohua said, "Sing the first four lines of 'The sun never sets over the grassland' twice. These are the lyrics for the introductory song. All four of you will sing them in a moment."
After giving Xing Baohua his instructions, he went to Grandpa Li and said, "Teacher Li, why were the first few sentences cut out?"
"If it doesn't feel right, we might as well just start singing," said Grandpa Li.
"This is the structure of the song! The beginning sings of freedom, while the female part sings of the city's walls, as if they can't get out," Xing Baohua explained.
Grandpa Li still said, "I feel it's better not to add anything, let's just get into the rhythm."
Xing Baohua shook his head slightly and said, "Let's add it according to my idea. It's settled then."
Grandpa Li shook his head helplessly.
Doing it again with an introduction makes it sound more like the original.
After practicing until it was almost dark, Xing Baohua asked Zou Wenjuan to take her electric guitar and accessories home so she could continue practicing.
I'm a little worried about how to get Su Ya and Zou Wenjuan to go. One person can manage a small motorcycle, but two people would be a different story.
Sitting on the gas tank in front of me doesn't feel comfortable either.
Even a cheap old-fashioned bicycle would be better! The factory also has tricycles; perfect, let's use those!
After taking the two women home in a tricycle, I had to hurry back to the factory to wait for a call.
Around nine o'clock, the phone rang. Xing Baohua quickly answered it.
After exchanging a few polite words, the other party identified themselves. Xing Baohua also stated that he was the patent holder.
After chatting for a while, Henry got down to business, asking Xing Baohua if he would like to work for the motorcycle company, and offering to vouch for him.
They also gave him a research fellow position in the lab with an annual salary of $700,000.
Most people would be thrilled to hear this number! But there's actually a trap, or a huge trap, hidden here.
The patents and other patents developed in the future will no longer belong to individuals; all ownership will belong to Motorola. It may seem like $700,000 is a lot.
But in reality, for ambitious people, this amount of money is not enough to cover a year's patent fees.
Henry was drawn to Xing Baohua's creative abilities and had wanted to poach her from the very beginning.
I always thought that the communist country was a poor country, and that I would be overjoyed if I was given a number.
Little did they know that Xing Baohua had the greatest ambition and would not take the bait at all.
After thanking them, I welcomed Manager Henry to visit China.
He also said he was currently not interested in working in the United States. If Henry really liked his patent, he should pay according to the previously agreed terms. If not, he would look for other buyers.
Henry continued to push down the price.
Xing Baohua said to Henry, "Mr. Henry, I hope we can establish a cooperative model. The analog-to-digital conversion is also important for you."
I also plan to develop a modular digital baseband system. And it's already out of the lab and ready for commercial production at any time?
"As far as I know, your country hasn't built any base stations?" Henry said to Xing Baohua as if he had seized on something.
"We do have experimental base stations, covering 30 square kilometers. The signal is stable," Xing Baohua continued, boasting and making empty promises. He knew all that himself. It was just bait; once the other party took the bait, that was a problem for later.
“Oh, I’m suddenly very interested in what you’ve been talking about, baseband,” Henry said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Henry, this isn't the time to talk about this. The product has just left the lab, and many things need to be kept confidential. You just need to know that this thing exists. And when used with my analog-to-digital module, it can perfectly solve the signal decoding problem!" Xing Baohua didn't want to continue discussing baseband issues with Henry. He quickly shifted the focus to the existing projects.
"Okay, but your price is too high."
“No, it’s not high at all, Mr. Henry. What can you do with a million dollars? You can just buy it out. Apart from the Asia-Pacific region, you can recoup your costs by collecting patent fees in Europe and America. I’m telling you the truth,” Xing Baohua said.
He also reminded Henry, "Nokia in Finland is very interested in my patented technology and will be sending someone to China soon to discuss it with me. I am not interested in their technology. But I am interested in Motorola's two-way paging patent. Mr. Henry, I only want free usage rights in the Asia-Pacific region."
"Asia-Pacific is out of the question. I can only give you the right to use China, and that will be charged."
"That's not very interesting, Henry. What do you mean by two-way cooperation? If you want to use the baseband module, I will charge you double the patent fees. Don't worry, I will definitely do that, and I have also created several derivative patents for the baseband module."
Henry understood Xing Baohua's threat, but in his heart he scoffed at it; anyone who could threaten a motorcycle was a joke.
