Ye Shuning also knew about the Mingyao Glass Factory's near-leak of secrets. Seeing her husband return home, she asked, "Brother Zhong, did the glass factory suffer any losses?"
Li Shaozhong took off his coat and said, "Fortunately, the secret was not leaked. The two workers repented midway and directly reported the bribery and handed over the money. It can be said that the loss was stopped in time."
Ye Shuning breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. "Luckily, the secret wasn't leaked. Do you know who did it?"
Li Shaozhong picked up Xiao Ye Chong, gave him a kiss, and replied, "Jingwen investigated, and it's probably done by the R countrymen. You know, we've robbed several of their big clients."
Ye Shuning snorted, "They're always trying to do things behind our backs. Even if they didn't succeed this time, they'll definitely do it again in the future. We have to be on our guard."
Li Shaozhong nodded. "Don't worry, this incident has served as a wake-up call for us. Jingwen will handle it well. Furthermore, this incident shows that there are still foreign forces lurking in the country, so we can take this opportunity to investigate. It would be great if we could catch a few of them."
Those capitalist countries are afraid that we will rise and surpass them, that we will no longer be subject to their control. They will try every possible means to restrict us and undermine our path to rise. So we must be vigilant. We must also accelerate our pace and surpass them.
Ye Shuning said, "When you mentioned this, I remembered something. I'll tell you when we get back to the room tonight."
Li Shaozhong knew immediately that his wife had something she couldn't say publicly, so he didn't ask any more questions, waiting to discuss it after returning to her room that night. The two of them shared some secrets, and many things were tacitly understood.
Ye Shuning invited the children to dinner, played with them for a while after dinner, and then Mrs. Liu and the others took the children to take a bath.
After coaxing the children to sleep, the couple returned to the room. Ye Shuning said, "Brother Zhong, now that reform and opening up have taken place, many foreign-funded enterprises will come to China to invest and build factories. Some will build factories solely through investment, while others will form joint ventures with domestic enterprises.
However, many of these companies have ulterior motives when investing in our country. Many of our country's ancestral crafts and technologies are valuable, such as ceramic painting, porcelain production techniques, and traditional medicine formulas.
In our future world, Country R has already registered many of our traditional medicine formulas. What was once ours has become someone else's. Even if we want to use it ourselves, we still have to pay them patent fees. The thought of it makes me angry.
And there is country H. They claim that many of our historical figures, traditional festivals, and some things passed down by our ancestors belong to their country. It is very shameless.
So we have to learn from the lessons and remind some people or departments to be careful of some people stealing technology and things under the guise of cooperation.
"Some old items are becoming increasingly valuable, and some criminals are even taking the risk of smuggling cultural relics abroad. Some foreigners are attracted to our country's antiques, taking advantage of the fact that our domestic antique market has not yet taken off, and even dealing with smugglers. This is something we must pay attention to."
Li Shaozhong listened carefully. "Xiao Ning, what you said is very important and should be taken seriously. I'll write some documents for Dad and have him take a look. Only when everyone recognizes the importance of these aspects and is vigilant can we avoid being easily deceived. We must protect the skills passed down by our ancestors."
Although Ye Shuning couldn't do much in this regard, she could still give a reminder. At least she wouldn't let some people in her country be fooled by others.
Not long after the Mingyao Glass Factory nearly leaked the secret, Yan Jingwen received another piece of news: a civilian delegation from Country R was coming to visit several cities in Country Z, including Haizhou.
Yan Jingwen was very sensitive to the people of Country R. A representative from a car manufacturer in Country R was among the delegation, and they suggested visiting the Mingyao Glass Factory, citing the possibility of purchasing automotive glass from the factory.
Yan Jingwen called Li Shaozhong as soon as he received the news. "Shaozhong, I received news that a civilian delegation from Country R is coming to Haizhou for a visit. Someone in the delegation suggested visiting our glass factory."
The relevant authorities have contacted me, saying that a representative from a car manufacturer in Country R is part of the delegation and is interested in our automotive glass. They'd like to come and see it. If our products meet their requirements, they might purchase them. I have a feeling they have ulterior motives for this visit. I'm feeling very uneasy.
Li Shaozhong laughed and said, "It seems that the R countrymen were not satisfied with not being able to steal our glass factory's technology last time, so they have come up with a new trick."
Yan Jingwen immediately understood what Li Shaozhong meant. "Are you saying that the delegation from Country R came with a specific purpose? They want to steal our technology again?"
Li Shaozhong said, "I think it's a 100% chance. Do you think that with the arrogance of the R people, they will give up domestic auto glass and buy our auto glass instead?"
Yan Jingwen thought about it and realized it was true. Even if Mingyao's automotive glass technology was more advanced and the quality was better, the merchants in Country R probably wouldn't buy from Country Z. So their request to visit the glass factory clearly had ulterior motives. They were simply after Mingyao's technology.
The more Yan Jingwen thought about it, the more dangerous it felt. "Shaozhong, what should we do?"
Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "It's simple. Our Mingyao Glass Factory is a private enterprise. Not everyone can come and visit. If the car manufacturer representative insists on coming, that's fine, but no one else can. And we have the final say on where to visit."
Yan Jingwen said, "Will this not offend anyone?"
Li Shaozhong didn't care at all whether he offended anyone or not. "How much money have we invested in Haizhou? We are much more generous than those foreign investors, and the scale is much larger. The leaders of Haizhou know that they cannot offend us.
Moreover, as long as we master advanced technology and produce good products, we will have no problem finding a market, and people will beg us to buy our products. There is no need to rush to buy our products.
And for now, let's satisfy the domestic market first. We don't need to worry too much about those people in Country R."
With Li Shaozhong's advice, Yan Jingwen knew what to do. Even if someone came to visit, he would know how to arrange it. Some of their workshops were confidential and could not be opened to the public. It would be impossible for those foreigners to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain any secrets.
Yan Jingwen also immediately contacted the relevant departments and rejected the entire delegation's request to visit the glass factory. He directly said that he would only allow representatives from certain related industries to visit, and they could only visit a few workshops that were open to the public. Other workshops were not allowed to be visited at all.
