Xiao Qiang stood at the entrance of the elevator, watching Director Zhou's figure gradually being covered by the elevator door, and waved to him.

On the way back to the room, Xiao Qiang asked Lin Yi beside him and said, "What do you think about the funding research that Director Zhou and I talked about?"

"I think it's a good thing!" Lin Yi's expression was very serious. "You just took out an idea of ​​the LCD projector. The specific circuit design, development, shaping, and production are all Director Gu and others who are helping you. Now that you have money, of course you should also repay them!"

"What do I have money? I have money, don't you have money? Xiaoyi, you don't have the awareness of a little rich woman at all!" Xiao Qiang joked.

Lin Yi smiled shyly: "I'm not a rich woman. I am your secretary, and my wife is you."

Xiao Qiang laughed and said, "I guess there is no chance for this matter."

"Why? Do you think your requirements are too harsh?" Lin Yi raised her little face and said in surprise.

Xiao Qiang shook his head: "No, I feel that the request made by Director Zhou today is probably his own idea, which I only thought of in the end. Judging from this operation, it is not like the practice that their National Defense Science and Technology Commission would have."

"Why?" Lin Yi recalled today's conversation process and could not find the basis for Xiao Qiang to make a judgment.

"It's very simple. The country cannot make a request for research funds to individuals. We are not a capitalist country. Research institutions can only be in the hands of the country. How can we let individuals pay for research and development for the interests of private companies?" Xiao Qiang sighed, a little melancholy.

Lin Yi said nothing.

Everything belongs to the country. This is the education she received since she was a child. She just followed Xiao Qiang for a long time and saw that all parties gave him a green light, she ignored this for a while. But now when Xiao Qiang said that, she immediately understood.

"Why didn't you say it just now? I discussed it with Director Zhou all day. Isn't this teasing others?" Lin Yi said with some unhappiness.

"How dare I tease the people of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission? I still point at them to help me in the future. When I heard his request, I suddenly remembered that it could solve the company's R&D problems. I was a little overly excited." Xiao Qiang rubbed his temples and sighed, "I'm too short of people, too short of people!"

He is really short of people.

The so-called Universal Electronics, with only Lin Yi, is only two formal employees, and is both a boss and an employee. He has to experience and do everything himself, and research is even more endless. Why don’t he worry?

Xiao Qiang positioned himself as a boss who knew technology and had ideas, rather than a scientific researcher who went into the battle himself.

This requires that he has a full set of matching company personnel teams, including administrative personnel, production workers, sales teams, after-sales departments, and the company structure that normal companies should have, not to mention maintaining a leading R&D unit in technology!

In this era, we have truly achieved the goal of being a wild man.

College students, as the main force in national construction, were allocated as soon as they graduated.

Because of poor grades and no confidence in getting into college, students who go to technical schools to study when they graduate from junior high school, they rely on a skill to support their families.

Those who graduate from high school either work on their parents' office or are introduced by the street office.

Anyway, as long as you want to go to work, there is a job waiting for you. As for whether that job is good, whether it is suitable for you, and has no future, that is all a story.

So, a very Chinese-style term appeared, called unemployed youth.

The unemployed young people in this era are not the noun that Xiao Qiang had in his previous life that was equivalent to unemployment, but the young people who were truly waiting for their profession. They generally have a skill, or they talk well, and write well, and they don’t get too high or low, so they simply don’t go to work, stay at home, waiting for a professional and appropriate job.

This is the first group of young people who have emerged with the goal of realizing their self-worth.

These people don’t like each other. They at least have a job that they can’t be hungry. It’s easy to imagine how difficult it is to let them work in a private enterprise that they have never heard of.

The capitalist boss is in a bad heart and squeezes out workers' blood and sweat. The boss doesn't want anyone anymore and can fire the workers at any time.

This is what people of this era understand capitalism.

Of course, working in a state-owned enterprise is far more attractive than a private enterprise.

Xiao Qiang hoped to bring up a team immediately, but for the moment, it was just a luxury.

At the door of the room, they saw Su Zheng.

Su Zheng and the others lived in an adjacent room. When they saw Xiao Qiang sending the man back, they immediately came forward: "The people from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce have been waiting for a day, and they are all eager to negotiate with you about the export of projectors."

Xiao Qiang looked at his watch and it was already past 7:30 pm. He said helplessly: "Director Zhou of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission is here today, and I have no choice."

"I understand, I told them the same way," Su Zheng nodded. He was next door. Of course, he knew that Xiao Qiang did have a serious business, "but they said that no matter how late they were, they hoped to talk to you. Today they booked the restaurant on the second floor, and a group of people were waiting for you there, and it has not yet disbanded."

"That's it..." Xiao Qiang pondered. He said so, they were determined to win the projector. The Japanese have always liked to play tricks. If they can show such urgent mood, it must be that the Japanese side is urging them very tightly. This is good news.

He nodded: "That's good. Xiaoyi and I didn't have dinner today. We just went to eat for free. Let's hear what they wanted to say to me."

"In addition, Li Jiang, a Tsinghua University outsourcing member, has been waiting for you all day. He came three days ago, but you were in Hong Kong at the time." Su Zheng added.

Xiao Qiang's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Is it really from Tsinghua University? Is he in a hurry to see me?"

Su Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's not very urgent, but he really wants to talk to you in person. It seems to be about your admission to Tsinghua University, and some questions need to be communicated with you in person."

"It's a pity that I'm going to fight with the Japanese devils later, otherwise I'll want to see him right away!" Xiao Qiang sighed. Entering Tsinghua University is not only learning knowledge, but also an opportunity to get close to college students and professors. Over time, I can always lobby for a few talents to come to the company.

But he also knew that making money is the first priority now. After regretting, he said to Lin Yi: "Xiaoyi, I have to ask you to meet this researcher Li. I will help me brag more. My university qualification depends on him!"

These are all mid-to-late August, and all the students who should be admitted have been admitted long ago, but he is still hanging in the air and cannot be kept. The feeling in his heart is so sad.

Lin Yi smiled with a pursed lips and said, "You still want to use your usual methods to bribe others?"

"Hahaha, it's good to be able to bribe, but I sent ten projectors, but I sent someone to come and have someone come over to see it. It seems that the threshold for Tsinghua University is too high!" Xiao Qiang originally planned to let Lin Yi act according to the opportunity, but thinking about Lin Yi's simple personality, I'm afraid others will ask for money, and she still doesn't understand what it means. It's really too difficult to hand over such a difficult job to her, so it's fine.

Su Zheng was about to leave, but suddenly patted his head, took out a paper like a document from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Qiang: "Yesterday, the actions of those Japanese chambers of commerce were very strange. They all ran to the Telegram Office and clamored for the telegram. We felt that there was something wrong with it, so we went to the Telegram Office, reported our identity, and got the telegram note. Look!"

Xiao Qiang opened it strangely and looked at it, and immediately laughed furiously: "Good dog! It turns out that they are making this idea! Snatch patents! Good, okay! It's a genital! It's impolite to come and not go. If I don't beat you all down, I won't be surnamed Xiao!"

Xiao Qiang never thought that the Japanese would really go to buy patents. But as a commercial sense, he instinctively knew that after the product, someone would definitely check patent projects. If no one registered, they would be registered. Such examples are common in his memory in his previous life.

So after the product came out, he immediately registered the patent in China, and then mobilized Su Zheng and the Foreign Affairs Bureau to register in the world where patents were registered.

Unexpectedly, these Japanese devils really had bad intentions, and this was a coincidence!

Hahaha, Xiao Qiang smiled coldly. No wonder they were eager to discuss with him. It was indeed the Japanese headquarters that sent a stern telegram asking them to reach an agreement. Isn’t this just for the sake of fish and waiting for me to cut?

This knife must be cut very skillfully!

We must neither cut them down and yell, and we must also let them leave at least one hand and one leg, so we cannot let them escape unstoppable!

"Xiao! I heard that you are going to negotiate with the Japanese. Do you need me to come forward? I am an American. In terms of price, if I come forward, I should achieve good results!" Austin heard them talking in the corridor, and opened the door and walked out.

He has been following him since he signed an agreement with Xiao Qiang. After all, he is the legitimate general manager of Universal Electronics.

However, Su Zheng and others now know that he was just a puppet pushed to the front desk by Xiao Qiang, so no one took him seriously. He was just polite, but he didn't let him participate in anything.

During this period, he was so bored that he was doing nothing all day long. When he heard that Xiao Qiang was going to negotiate with the Japanese, he felt that he was of great use for the first time and hurried out.

Xiao Qiang looked at him without blinking, thought for a long time before shook his head and said, "At first, I wanted you to go with me. However, seeing that the Japanese are so dishonest, I have some ideas. You should not go for the time being."

"But I am the general manager! Didn't I agree to be responsible for exporting?" Austin continued lobbying unwillingly.

Xiao Qiang valued only his identity, and smiled and said, "Do you know how to manage it? Comrade!"

He quietly pointed out the identity of Agent Austin in front of Su Zheng, and asked him to steal intelligence and assassinate him. He was probably a good player. Xiao Qiang was worried about letting him participate in commercial operations.

The Soviet Union's planned economy was half a dozen of yuan from its own country, and there was no formal business behavior. The biggest possibility was to take out a pistol directly, press it on the Japanese's forehead, and formulate a sales plan!

Xiao Qiang thought about the scene of this assumption becoming true and couldn't help laughing.

"NONONO! You are wrong, I am an authentic American!" Austin focused on the word "authentic" and added accent.

Xiao Qiang's heart moved and asked Su Zheng to inform the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. He went down immediately, and asked Lin Yi to receive Li Jiang and Austin into his room and locked the door.

"Are you not a Soviet agent?" He stared at Austin.

"It's not exactly, it should be said that I almost became a member of the official KGB organization. But my real identity is just a informant of Comrade Chisonev. I used to be a car salesperson, store owner, insurance agent, hotel waiter..." Austin said a long list of professions in one breath, and Xiao Qiang stopped repeatedly.

"How many jobs have you worked in total?"

"I can't remember it," Austin shrugged, "Since I was five years old, I've always had dozens of them!"

Xiao Qiang stared in his eyes, trying to tell whether he was lying, but if the other party was a professional agent, he would not be able to get any information from the other party's eyes.

Finally, he decided not to circle with him and asked the core question directly: "You are not an agent, how can you speak fluent Chinese?"

Speaking of this, Austin was very proud and boasted himself: "I not only speak Chinese well, but also know six languages ​​including Dharma, Italian, German, and Turkey. This time, I planned to help Chisonev come to China as an American businessman, but I was asked to collect debts because of my fourth bankruptcy and I did not contact Chisonev in time. Otherwise, I would have come to China long ago." Austin said with regret.

Xiao Qiang laughed in silence: "You have gone bankrupt four times? Do you still dare to brag about helping to start business negotiations with Japan?"

Austin's look of Xiao Qiang insulting him, and said indignantly: "In the United States, who has no experience in starting a business many times! Don't look at me, I have gone bankrupt four times, but when I was the most glorious, there was a gas station and a hardware store with a total asset of tens of millions!"

Xiao Qiang thought about it and thought that gas stations and hardware stores are not business that lose money. He was really confused about how he went bankrupt: "Since you are already rich, why would you still be an informant for Chisonev?"

"Rich! What's the wealth of me?" Austin suddenly seemed furious when he talked about this question. "Those truly rich people have so much wealth that you dare not even think about it!

Why did I help Chisonev? It was because the day I met him, I went bankrupt again! I went to stock trading. I made a little profit at that time and felt very proud. So I went to futures again. European, my God, that was really exciting. Within a day, my property kept going up and down. When I was about to make another profit, a big dealer suppressed it. Within five minutes, all my savings became negative assets!

That day will be unforgettable for me forever!

After I met Chisonev, I suddenly figured out that the United States is actually the United States of those large consortiums, the game field of Rockefeller and Morgan! We are just constantly accumulating wealth for them in billions of wealth!

From that day on, I became a sympathizer of the Soviet Union!”

Xiao Qiang looked at him sympathetically, but it was a bit funny. Austin wanted to retaliate against the American consortium through the Soviet Union, but his vision was obviously not very good. The Soviet Union, a giant, was about to fall. And he came to help him. In fact, he was also a capitalist, but he was just a small capitalist, but his nature was not at all confused!

Every money he earns is also the tears and sweat of others. However, he is kind and does not show blood in his hands, that's all!

"Rockefeller Square has been bought by the Japanese. You can feel at ease." He falsely comforted Austin, understanding that he was not a professional agent, so he stopped entangling with him, turned around and opened the door, intending to go downstairs and enjoy the pleasure of fucking the butcher knife at the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

Unexpectedly, Austin laughed out loud after hearing his words: "You are too naive! Do you think the Japanese have won? No, they lost very badly! And under the play of the large American consortium, they will lose even worse! This is just starting out!"

Xiao Qiang stopped on the doorknob, and his interest was stimulating. He turned around and asked, "What's the saying?"

Austin slowly opened the TV cabinet, took out a bottle of Mouton's red wine from it, and poured it on both of them.

Xiao Qiang returned to the sofa in the room and sat down, absent-mindedly holding a glass of wine. He didn't like the sour taste of wine, nor could he see how precious the wine was, so he just held the wine glass, rippling gently, and looked at the red liquid, forming ripples.

Austin sucked gently and exclaimed: "It's still the wine that has a taste for my appetite. Your tea doesn't taste at all, so I can't get used to it."
