"Don't you know my wife is married? And you gave her red roses? Whatever you want to do, your grandfather wants to do. In essence, they treat a living person as an object to be robbed. Do you think I should respect you under such circumstances? I didn't ask Fan Qi to throw the roses into the trash can. Am I being too polite to you?"
After saying this, Chen Zhiqian turned around and walked to Fan Qi's workstation, reached out to take her handbag, and took her hand to lead her out of Yaohua's office.
Yuan Hai, who was waiting for the elevator, saw them and said, "Zhiqian, are you still holding Xiaoqi's handbag?"
Chen Zhiqian looked down at the handbag in his hand and said, "When I was a kid, she would give me her schoolbag to carry when I went to school."
"Oh?" This aroused everyone's interest.
Chen Zhiqian reached out and tucked a strand of hair on Fan Qi's cheek behind her ear, saying, "My parents were sent to the northwest and southwest respectively, and I was raised by my father-in-law's family until I was fourteen. I grew up with Xiaoqi. Her brother is older than both of us, and at first he carried our school bags. After he entered middle school, it was my turn to carry her school bag."
He said that they were childhood sweethearts and had a deep affection for each other, but in fact, in the original owner's memory, Fan Qi was despised and annoyed by the original owner. Only his brother Xun carried their schoolbags for them. He wanted to let the original owner carry it, but the original owner refused at all.
"What are you thinking about?" Upon hearing this, Fan Qi was pulled into the elevator by Chen Zhiqian.
Fan Qi used the original owner's acting skills: "What do you mean give me a backpack? You ran forward with the bag on your back and asked me to chase you. How dare you say that?"
The two of them exchanged glances and were full of affection, which made Feng Xueming, who had given Fan Qi a bouquet of roses today, look very uncultured. Even though he believed that pursuing women depended on ability, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed at this moment.
Chapter 36
◎Chen Zhiqian is a coward◎
It was around six in the evening and there was a traffic jam on the road. Chen Zhiqian turned on the radio and the news was reporting on the Semiconductor Agreement signed between the United States and Japan.
In the mid-1980s, Japan's extremely developed manufacturing industry was synonymous with high quality and low prices. In addition to signing the Plaza Accord with Japan, the United States also launched a trade war against Japan, imposing a 100% punitive tariff on Japanese-produced products such as color TVs and computers.
As for Japan's semiconductor industry, after the anti-dumping investigation, Japan was required to sign the "Semiconductor Agreement". This agreement includes that Japanese companies guarantee that semiconductor products exported to the United States are not lower than the domestic price in Japan, and Japan is not allowed to sell low-priced semiconductors to the United States through third countries. There is also a clause requiring Japan to use 20% of semiconductors produced abroad.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste, Fan Qi said with a sigh: "Uncle Sam is really shameless. If it is good for him, he wants the market to be open and free. If it is not good for him, he will resort to anti-dumping, anti-monopoly, and forced buying and selling."
"Who says they are the world's most powerful country? Moreover, the relationship between Japan and the United States is very delicate. It's like a worker at home coveting the master's cake. How can he not be punished? However, this is a danger for Japan and an opportunity for other countries and regions."
Fan Qi certainly understood what Chen Zhiqian said. In her previous life, the Sino-US chip dispute broke out. She had studied the development history of the chip industry. It was the signing of the "Semiconductor Agreement" in the 1980s and 1990s and the deliberate suppression by the United States that gave Taiwan and South Korea the opportunity to develop their semiconductor industries.
Fan Qi nodded: "Yes, if other regions can develop the semiconductor industry, they can also get a share of this huge market in the future. Unfortunately, our country does not have a sufficient foundation, so it may be difficult to seize this opportunity."
At least I didn’t catch up in my last life.
"What about Hong Kong City?" Chen Zhiqian asked her.
"Gangcheng?" Fan Qi snorted coldly, "Why not make easy money from entrepot trade and go into real estate and finance? Who would go through such a thankless job and invest heavily in the exhausting manufacturing industry?"
Chen Zhiqian stopped the car and Fan Qi got out. It was already dark. Chen Zhiqian looked up at the tall buildings and the lights of thousands of houses. "People keep pouring into Hong Kong City. How many people leave? Very few. Capable people prosper here, but what about ordinary people? They have a hard time in this concrete jungle. Half of Hong Kong City's population is now engaged in manufacturing, but the entire manufacturing industry is moving rapidly inland."
