Chapter 414 Tell the truth or I’ll call you to arrest you
"After I sent Ai away, I've been waiting for news from him, but I haven't gotten any. Hehe, I've been prepared for this. I just need to keep a close eye on Guan. They can't get rid of me."
"When I followed the eldest brother of the Guan family all the way south, I kept praying to God in my heart, begging the beast Qi Ming not to die, otherwise even if I killed him with a son or a grandson, it wouldn't be enough to pay the interest."
"It's just that after not seeing him for so many years, he has become more timid than before and doesn't even dare to set foot on this land again. What a pity."
After Lao Song calmed down, he told Li Ye the reason why he came to Guangdong Province. At the end, he showed his yellow teeth and laughed.
At this time, Old Song returned to his slick, cunning and a little mean look. No one could have guessed that just a few minutes ago, this lame man, whose old bones weighed less than 100 pounds, had the madness to exchange one life for another.
Li Ye listened quietly to Old Song's story, then asked softly, "What are you going to do now? Are you going to go to Hong Kong Island to look for him? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not easy to find someone quietly."
“.”
"Don't look for him, he will show up."
Old Song bared his yellow teeth and said with an odd smile, "I have figured it out these past few days. Ai suffered a lot overseas and knows that foreigners look down on him. He wants to come back to make money. So I will have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Li Ye looked at Old Song in front of him and secretly sighed in his heart, "What a talent!"
Right now, everyone thinks that the right way is to make money abroad, but they don't realize that it is even easier to make money from overseas.
But this talent was now determined to take revenge, so Li Ye had no choice but to ask, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
"No, no, Mr. Champion, please don't get involved in this mess. It's not worth getting your clothes dirty, but."
Old Song hesitated for a moment, and said sincerely: "I just have a little grandson who has been living in my hometown. If anything happens to me in the future, please help me keep him in Qingshui County and don't let him come out, so that he can live a peaceful life."
“.”
"I'm already so busy with my own affairs! You can't stop your own grandson. You are a nuisance, but you have a tough life!"
Li Ye turned and walked away cursing.
"I'll take that as your agreement! Thank you!"
Old Song looked at Li Ye's back, grinned, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "You are right, it depends on who has a tougher life."
. . . . . . . . .
"Duoduoduo~"
In a scientific research compound in Beijing, Tang Mingtai knocked on a door carrying a gift.
After the door opened, a thin old man blocked the doorway, looking Tang Mingtai up and down with cold eyes.
Tang Mingtai said awkwardly: "Hey, the teacher is at home! I'm Tang Mingtai"
"I know you are Tang Mingtai. I would recognize you even if you turned into a monkey. But I am not your teacher. Who are you trying to get close to?"
The old man spat at Tang Mingtai in a high-pitched voice, then looked at the things in his hand with disdain and said, "And what are you doing here today? Do you regret it? Have you come to terms with it? My daughter is already married."
“.”
Tang Mingtai's face turned red, and he said awkwardly, "Professor Zhao, I came here this time because I have some technical problems that I need your help with."
The old man snorted and said, "What a joke! You, Tang Mingtai, are so talented, and you still need my help? I, Zhao Xiangchu, am old and dim-sighted, and I can't see what you are doing. Besides, I'm retired now, so if you have money, use it to give gifts to others."
Tang Mingtai saw that Dean Zhao was about to close the door, so he quickly took out a stack of information from his bag and handed it over: "Professor Zhao, we are going to compete with the Japanese this time, can you help take a look!"
"Competing with the Fuso people?"
Professor Zhao, with a resentful look on his face, did not close the door tightly. He glanced at Tang Mingtai and then looked at what he had in his hand.
"You came to me to solve the problem, and this is all you brought?"
“.”
Tang Mingtai finally entered Professor Zhao's door, but Professor Zhao only opened the document and looked at it for a few seconds, then threw it on the coffee table with a "bang", looking very unhappy.
"You need me to solve this kind of thing? Tell me the truth, what are you doing here today?"
"Teacher, listen to me. Of course, sewing equipment is too simple for you, but we need sufficient technical reserves to compete with the Japanese."
Tang Mingtai reached out and took out two documents from the information, showed them to Professor Zhao and said, "This is the Changbei-2 sewing machine that we have successfully developed, and this is the improvement plan and technical data provided by Zhongai Machinery Company.
The performance of the sewing machines we developed is not inferior to that of Zhongai Machinery Company, but it is not world-class."
"The Japanese definitely have more than just this generation of technology. They must have more advanced technology. According to their habits, they will only invest in technology that is slightly more advanced than their opponents.
Once the rival has developed a new product, they will immediately invest in more advanced technology, making the rival's research, production and labor costs all go down the drain. This is a common tactic used by the Japanese."
Professor Zhao straightened his face and nodded, "This sounds like a simple way to live your life. So, what do you want to research into your technical reserves?"
Tang Mingtai said clearly: "We produce one generation, finalize one generation, and conduct preliminary research one generation. We can never fall behind them."
“.”
Professor Zhao frowned, picked up the two documents and looked at them again, then shook his head and said, "You are taking it for granted. Not to mention that it is not something I can do alone to tackle technical problems, even if you come up with a technical solution, how can you compete with them in terms of machining accuracy?"
".Alas~"
Professor Zhao's sigh was filled with the helplessness and shame of the mainland machinery industry in the 1980s.
Ordinary machine tools have huge differences in precision, not to mention high-precision machining equipment.
High-precision machining equipment has always been one of the pearls at the top of the industrial pyramid, and it is also a pain in the hearts of mainland industrialists.
Even decades later, after decades of catching up, the mainland has reduced the price of multi-axis machining centers, which were quoted by foreign companies at 4 million yuan per unit, to a few hundred thousand yuan per unit.
But there is still a gap, and anyone who uses it will know.
"Teacher, we are working hard to solve the problem of the machine tool. Now we just hope you can help ask who has the time and is willing to cooperate with us to carry out continuous technical research."
"Collaboration? Ongoing research?"
Professor Zhao asked curiously, "Aren't you guys solving some technical problems? Why do you want to continue the cooperation?"
Tang Mingtai explained: "It is like this, teacher, because we feel that various technical competitions are inevitable in the future, so we want to form a technical team that can fight at any time.
Although we don’t mind short-term workers, long-term cooperation and even working in our company are better.”
"You're not here to ask me to solve a technical problem, you're here to poach me!"
Professor Zhao glanced at Tang Mingtai, sneered, crossed his legs, and said indifferently: "What is the nature of your Changbei Machinery Company? How big is it? How much travel expenses can you give? What kind of salary can you give?"
Facing Professor Zhao's "realistic face", Tang Mingtai seemed to have expected it and said confidently: "Changbei Machinery Company is a Sino-Hong Kong joint venture. It is not large in scale, but it has its own sales channels and can sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of equipment every year."
"As for travel expenses and salary, this is a deposit. If you want to work for us or have long-term cooperation, we can discuss it in person."
Tang Mingtai opened his briefcase, took out a thick envelope and placed it in front of Professor Zhao.
Professor Zhao glanced at the thickness of the envelope and felt that it should be about two to three thousand yuan.
Although the year printed on the fourth set of RMB is 1980, the actual issuance time is much later. At this time, the largest denomination RMB is the Great Unity.
Two or three thousand yuan is not a small amount these days, and Tang Mingtai was talking about the deposit, so Professor Zhao felt that this price was okay for him to work as a Sunday engineer.
But Professor Zhao is a man who has seen the world after all, and he is not blinded by money.
"Take the money back first. I'll ask your senior brothers and sisters if they have the time and interest.
Your research is time-consuming and meaningless, so I'm not sure anyone would be willing to work for you."
Tang Mingtai was stunned, and then said awkwardly: "Teacher, I think you should host it. After all, I don't know anyone who is as pragmatic as you. If I meet someone like Qi Fan who is obsessed with power, I will be laughed at."
"With just this little money, you still expect Qifan to do odd jobs for you? He now has his own research team, with annual research funding of tens of thousands of yuan, and he even has a motorcycle."
Professor Zhao said angrily: "Besides, it's just a sewing machine job, which of your senior brothers and sisters can't do it? Do you still need me to support you?
By the way, why don't you do it yourself? Could it be that you have been promoted and become a full-time cadre?"
Tang Mingtai wiped the saliva off his face and didn't bother with Professor Zhao.
It is difficult for someone like Professor Zhao to be interested in research projects of this difficulty. Even some of his capable seniors are thinking about how to carry out advanced research projects in order to improve their professional titles and positions.
So it is indeed a bit insulting to let others tinker with this.
Then we can only give them compensation in other ways.
Tang Mingtai pointed to the envelope on the coffee table and whispered, "Teacher, there are US dollars in it."
“.”
Professor Zhao stared at Tang Mingtai, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing that Professor Zhao didn't react, he had to add: "There are only 100 yuan in it."
“.”
Tang Mingtai added a few words, but Professor Zhao still remained silent, just staring at Tang Mingtai.
Tang Mingtai was a little puzzled. Who wouldn't want US dollars these days?
Let me put it this way! In the past two years, if someone leaked the news that they had US dollars at home, then a few days later, friends would come over to get them. Friends asked friends and relatives asked relatives, and there was always a place where they could use the money.
But what happened to Professor Zhao?
"Pah~"
Professor Zhao suddenly slammed the table, calling out an old lady from another room.
"Tell me, what technology do you want me to research? Or do you want to buy something from me?"
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll call someone to arrest you."
