“Wyatt, you and Carlos have certainly done a great job. My daughter is so young, yet she has such insight. Although you two are not as smart as her, you can be her strong support. You must do your best in all the follow-up work.”
“Uncle Beth, you’re showing off. My dad hasn’t been out all month because of this.”
Beth laughed heartily, not caring at all about the younger generation's criticism. He was just showing off, and he wasn't afraid of what others would say.
Huang Meihua and Wang Xinyi went back to their bedroom, leaving the room to them.
"Annie, Mommy made a new game. Come on, let Mommy take you to play for a while?"
“Okay, okay, I just made an appointment with Uncle Zhao, he will play a two-player game with me.”
The group then moved to the study. Annie skillfully brought up the web browser, and the two began taking turns playing games on the keyboard.
"Red Plum, you don't have any advantage in this two-player game!"
"You can work on the hardware. I think you could design another port to connect a keyboard, and maybe even design a device that doesn't need a keyboard but can still be operated with one hand. Wouldn't that work?"
“This really works. I’ll try it tomorrow. Let Cheng Guangxiu take charge of this.”
"You'll have to ask him. I don't know what he's busy with, but I think he'll really enjoy this challenge."
Carlos didn't join them; instead, he stared at the screen, convinced that the game was bound to be a huge hit.
"What do you two think of this game?" Zhang Hongmei also chimed in, adding that she wanted them to try out another game she had designed that day.
"Mom, I think it's a bit rushed. Uncle Zhao can use a keyboard by himself tonight."
Zhang Hongmei patted Annie's head with satisfaction. This child was really very perceptive, able to point out shortcomings immediately, and she was only five years old.
"Yes, Annie is absolutely right. Mom also thinks that's the shortcoming."
I have another game here. I'll find it and you guys can try it. It's also a two-player game. Give it a try.
The second game was a first for both of them, but they found it very exciting. It was actually a simplified version of Mary's game, but it was still good that it received positive feedback from both of them.
Carlos, who had been watching from behind, asked, "Wyatt, how many more days until the research team can get things settled?"
"I plan to start on the 14th of next month, and the workers are already in place."
"Hongmei, did you give them some training before they started working?"
"Wyattroy, where are these workers from?"
“I received them all, so they should be quite trustworthy. Also, before they started working, I had them sign a confidentiality agreement. It’s not impossible that there’s any chance of a leak, but the possibility is much smaller.”
“Okay, that’s a good idea. I’ll also send four people over. I’ll trouble Hongmei to train them.”
"Okay, leave this to me. Just let me know when you've set a time. It's really not complicated. All you need to do is understand computer languages."
Beth McKen sat to the side, smiling as he watched the young men discuss their plans. The future of the family would be theirs. This was truly a good thing. Although there was competition within the family, if the younger generation, the next head of the family, could get along harmoniously, their development would likely be very rapid. Sometimes, mutual suppression could lead to a vicious cycle; unity was far better.
Carlos said to Wyattroy, "Our toy company needs to be finalized today."
"Okay, let's go down."
Zhao Hao had been watching them closely. When he heard them say they were leaving, he whispered to Annie, and the two ended the game.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Zhao and I are going downstairs to watch TV. You two can discuss this here."
Actually, Annie had been listening to their conversation the whole time.
Carlos gently patted his daughter's head with satisfaction. How could she be so sensible? Although Zhao Haozheng had reminded him, some children, when playing, simply don't care about others; his nephews were like that.
Beth also stood up and left with the two of them. This wasn't a family matter, so let the younger generation discuss it themselves.
The three sat down, and Wyatt spoke first, "I'll take charge of the game company, and Carlos can take charge of the toy company."
“Okay, I was actually thinking of having you in charge,” Carlos said with a smile.
"I have too much to do here, and I also need to follow up on the research group's work, so I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, I'll find a place to build a factory."
Zhang Hongmei really wasn't interested in any of that; she'd let them handle it themselves. She needed to focus on getting the domestic toy factory up and running as soon as possible. Domestic sales would be substantial, and they could also export. This was a business opportunity, and import/export controls weren't too strict.
I suddenly remembered this and needed to remind Zhang Shouyi: we can't afford any loopholes in import/export. We need to find someone to be in charge of this.
"You two can figure it out yourselves. I don't care about these things."
Wyatt rolled his eyes at Zhang Hongmei, annoyed. "It's like it has nothing to do with you. Carlos, this time the toy company is giving Zhang Hongmei a 40% stake."
Carlos laughed. "That's what I think too."
"No, I'll take one-third. You can draft the contract, I'll sign it, and then you can come to me for the budget."
"You really don't want 40%?"
"No, one-third is enough."
Both of them felt they admired Zhang Hongmei even more. Everyone loves money, but someone with principles like her is definitely worth befriending.
"I'll draft the contract. Let's sign it tonight, and I'll apply for the company tomorrow. We'll get the factory construction sorted out within a month. I estimate it will be completed and put into production by May."
After Carlos finished speaking, he went straight to his desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write. He made three copies and signed each one.
"Alright, just let me know when you need money. Oh, and it would be best to find someone to design a sewing machine suitable for making plush toys. Also, for plastic toys, it would be best to choose durable ones that won't break easily."
The three discussed future arrangements, mainly concerning the computer research group, which should be the first to begin.
The people below waited for a long time, but the three of them didn't come down. With no other option, Zhao Hao came over and knocked on the door. Annie was hungry.
After dinner, the two families drove away, and Annie started her playtime again.
After breakfast on Sunday morning, Zhao Hao drove Annie and the other person out. Both of them were very enthusiastic about eating and having fun.
