Chapter 1127: Rumors flying everywhere
Chen Zetao said, "Liu Baorong has called over more than one or two people from his hometown. What about the others?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng looked at Chen Zetao: "Brother Chen, do you have something to say?"
Chen Zetao nodded and said, "Do you know why it's so easy to investigate?"
Xiao Peng shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Chen Zetao said, "The other staff members in the museum know his every move very well. There are basically two camps in the museum: the ordinary staff in one camp, and the people called from your hometown in the other camp. Chen Qian thought what he did was flawless. Little did he know that everyone had seen it all. Anyway, the people from your hometown in the museum are basically the ones who brag but don't work. You peeped at your neighbor taking a bath at the age of three, proposed to someone at the age of four, and got beaten and cried for stealing a girl at the age of five..."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "What kind of mess is this?"
Chen Zetao said, "Rumors in the museum. At least three people say he's your brother-in-law, two say he's your brother-in-law. Oh, and one says she's your aunt's: she said she's attracted to her niece. Just like Chen Qian, when you're on duty at night, you usually drink and brag with your colleagues. According to research, you've been beaten seventeen times, nine for 'glaring at people,' four for 'bumping into people,' two for 'spying on a widow bathing,' one for 'peeking into the girls' restroom,' and... "
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen, stop talking. I already believe it! There are so many ethnic groups in our country, but why do other ethnic groups sing and dance when they drink, but we just brag when we drink! Let's have it, let's have it!"
Chen Zetao was about to nod, but Xiao Peng said, "Forget it, don't open it directly."
"Why?" Chen Zetao was puzzled.
Xiao Peng said, "This matter is already enough to slap Liu Baorong in the face. If I fire all the people he brought here, he might not be able to face me again. I'll talk to Shao Feng about this."
"What did you say to Shao Feng?" Chen Zetao asked.
Xiao Peng explained: "It's just a variety of high demands on people from my hometown. If you can adapt, then do it. If you can't, then go home. I asked them to come here to help them, not for them to help me!"
After hearing this, Chen Zetao sighed softly.
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Brother Chen, am I wrong?"
Chen Zetao said: "There's nothing wrong, I just remembered something."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Chen Zetao said: "If you are an employee, it is best not to work for relatives and friends; if you are a boss, it is best not to let relatives and friends work for you."
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "I pay them a lot, don't I? You just said that I pay them a lot, didn't you?"
Chen Zetao said, "Yes, it's a lot, but the problem is, it's the same as what my colleagues get, so it doesn't make them that special. As the boss's friends, shouldn't they get paid more and receive more care? People are greedy and selfish. I don't need to tell you about the saying 'a pinch of kindness is followed by a burden of resentment,' right? Anyway, that's the way it is. Whether you work for a friend or have a friend work for you, the end result is often a conflict in the relationship."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed deeply: "If we don't recruit them, we'll end up like Shao Feng, being accused of being heartless and forgetting our roots because of our wealth. But if we recruit them, we'll end up with problems like this one."
Chen Zetao laughed and said, "Who can I blame for this? Who gave you so many treasures? We should strengthen our cooperation with the cultural relics department in the future!"
Xiao Peng nodded.
Chen Zetao said, "Okay, I'll call the country now to handle this matter. We'll arrest those who need to be arrested and recover the money."
After he finished speaking, he made a phone call and said a few words to Xiao Peng, "Okay, let's wait for news."
Xiao Peng looked at Chen Zetao and said, "Brother Chen, you did me a favor. Now it's my turn to show my appreciation."
"Huh?" Chen Zetao looked puzzled. "Didn't we agree that you help me and I help you? You helped me find Jelena, so aren't we even now?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If you respect me an inch, I will respect you ten feet. This is my usual style. Here, this is one of the things I knocked over this time."
"What's that?" Chen Zetao looked at the small box in Xiao Peng's hand with a puzzled look on his face. After opening it, he found a mobile hard drive inside.
Xiao Peng pretended to be calm but was actually quite arrogant. "Nothing much. These are the manufacturing drawings for the latest 'Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography Machine' from the Dutch company 'AMES'. Doesn't our country have this thing? I got the drawings for you! Hey, that old man William was bragging to me, saying that even if he gave me the drawings, it would be useless. He underestimated our country's 'Sharingan'. Here, I'm giving you the drawings. Hurry and make it and slap old William in the face!"
China has always been short of chips, and the best machine for manufacturing chips in the world is the lithography machine of ASML, a Dutch company. Now China has been trying to develop its own lithography machine. With the blueprints of such a lithography machine, things should be more efficient.
As a result, Chen Zetao's expression became strange when he looked at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Chen Zetao asked in return: "Brother Xiao, do you think the shutdown of the lithography machine is its blueprint?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Is there any problem with this?"
Chen Zetao laughed and said, "You underestimate the scientific researchers in China. The design of the lithography machine has been developed in China a long time ago."
"Then why can't we produce a lithography machine yet?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Chen Zetao explained, "The Americans were able to prevent the Netherlands from selling us lithography machines. You can think of it as the Netherlands being just an 'assembly plant.' 90% of the parts for this machine come from outside the Netherlands, just like the Americans don't allow rockets using their technology to launch our satellites. They don't allow the Netherlands to sell machines, or else they won't give the Netherlands parts and technology. Now you can understand, right? A Dutch lithography machine requires light sources from the Americans, electronic controls from Japan, and lenses from Europe... That's why lithography machines are called the 'crystallization of modern technology.' These countries that provide parts are all under the control of the Americans. So why is it so difficult for us to develop? It's because we need to make our own light sources, grind our own lenses, and make our own components... Ultimately, it's not a problem with the design drawings."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Didn't I get this blueprint for nothing?"
"Of course not." Chen Zetao said, "With this blueprint, we will save a lot of trouble. On behalf of..."
"Don't represent me anymore." Xiao Peng interrupted Chen Zetao. "I thought I'd found a treasure. Okay, go find your daughter now. But you'd better be prepared. This is going to be trouble. You'll have to bear it from now on."
"Don't scare me. I've seen the world, okay? What kind of trouble can't I solve? Let's wait and see!"
