Xing Baohua had been working for several days in a row and was indeed very tired, so she took a nice bath at the hotel.
Lying in bed, I was thinking about when I could have a relaxing spa treatment, unwind, and then get a good night's sleep.
The next day, after having breakfast with Redding, Xing Baohua said, "Redding, didn't you want to visit this ancient city? How about I arrange for someone to show you around today?"
Xing Baohua thought that Liu Quan should accompany this person to see the street of the Grand Dyehouse. That street was the only place in the city that still had a rustic charm.
Reding shook his head and said to Xing Baohua, "Xing, give me a week. Headquarters needs to send people over. The head of the R&D department and the executive vice president want to come and take a look at your equipment."
"..."
This surprised Xing Baohua. Was this going to be a big deal?
The lineup they deployed was quite intimidating. But it also showed their sincerity.
Xing Baohua asked, feigning politeness, "Is it not within your authority to make this decision?"
“Your price is too high. Headquarters needs to see what patents are worth five million dollars. Ericsson is always very generous if they can truly be of use to Ericsson,” Reading said.
"Hehe! Okay!" Xing Baohua smiled and said, "You always say Ericsson is very generous, but I really haven't seen anything generous about it."
“You will see him. What are your plans for today?” Redding asked.
“Show a person from America what you saw yesterday.”
“Can we not let him see it?” Redding asked.
Xing Baohua paused, then smiled and said, "Ruiding, your products are displayed on the counter. Does that mean other customers aren't allowed to buy your products? Besides, would you buy my stuff? I don't see any indication of you buying anything." Xing Baohua said bluntly.
At this point, you can't think of yourself as a researcher; when necessary, you have to learn from Steve Jobs' pure business model.
It's all about money.
“I always felt you weren’t as reserved as a typical Chinese person. Okay! Buddy, I’ll vouch for it with Ericsson’s reputation. How about that?” Reading had no choice but to use his reputation as collateral.
Xing Baohua was also hesitant!
They've sent some important people here, and you're being stingy? That's not appropriate!
Even though it's just acting, sometimes you have to go all the way with an act.
Who knows what tricks these foreigners are up to? They already had competitors, and this competition has driven up prices.
If you suddenly get rid of all your competitors and then offer them a low price, would you sell?
This tactic is very common. Damn it, the bigger the company, the more unscrupulous they are.
“I’m sorry, Redding, this isn’t a bank, so I can’t make a credit assessment of you and your company,” Xing Baohua said with a shrug.
Upon hearing Xing Baohua's words, Redding chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to distrust such a large company as Ericsson so much. You know, our products sell very well in your country!"
"What does this have to do with me? I'll say it again: if you want an exclusive, you have to pay a deposit. Sorry, Redding, I have a lot of work to do today. I can't stay with you." With that, Xing Baohua stood up.
Reading was left alone in the restaurant.
Back at the electronics factory, Xing Baohua had the equipment set up, showed it to George, and explained the principles.
George kept saying it was a great invention with a lot of market potential. They could just produce it directly without selling the patent, and sell it all to the US, making even more money that way.
Xing Baohua said he was really powerless to help! Making a few individual products wouldn't be a big problem, as they could be used as test products, but using them commercially involves too many factors.
Instead, we should make a quick buck to strengthen our industrial base.
"I have a few more days to finish all the patent documents. When you return to the United States, find a professional agency to handle the patent matters. I need to obtain the patents as soon as possible, especially in Europe and America. Other regions can proceed at a slower pace."
“Okay.” George nodded, understanding the importance of patents.
While Xing Baohua was busy writing patent documents in his office, he was also thinking about where to sell the patent and where the money should go.
This matter isn't urgent. If Ericsson doesn't provide a deposit, Xing Baohua wouldn't mind bringing in a real industry giant.
IBM, Motorola, and even HP are all companies that specialize in providing solutions to their clients. Their patents will always find buyers.
Around noon, Xiaobo told Xing Baohua that someone was looking for her outside.
While Xing Baohua was looking on in surprise, Xiao Bomei said, "Yes, yes, handsome Xu."
Upon hearing the name Xu Shuai, Xing Baohua darted out.
They ran so fast that they even slammed the door shut.
I ran to the gate and saw a person squatting in the corner. Their hair was a mess, more disheveled than a bird's nest.
His clothes were tattered and torn. His shoes were also gaping open.
Xing Baohua just stared at him. She slowly closed her eyes, a pang of pain shooting through her heart.
She immediately stepped forward, kicked him a few times, and slapped him a few times, tears streaming down her face, saying, "I asked you to send me a telegram, but you didn't even reply. I almost thought you were dead out there! Last time you sent a telegram, why didn't you say you'd get some money for me! Look at the state you've become!"
I'm so angry and heartbroken.
The slaps weren't meant to vent anger, but simply to offer Xu Shuai a little comfort.
"Come into the factory with me. Go wash up first, and I'll find you some clothes."
As Xing Baohua spoke, he grabbed him by the neck and dragged him into the factory.
Let Xiaobo ride her bicycle to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to get two sets of clothes.
Xing Baohua personally boiled water for Xu Shuai, as the weather was cold and she dared not let him take a cold shower.
Liu Quan even ran over and took a look. He yelled at Xu Shuai, "Look at you, you pathetic thing! Why can't you say anything? What's wrong with sending a telegram saying you have no money? It would be so easy to send you some travel expenses!"
