Chapter 241 A Gentle Smile Like a Spring Breeze

August is the hottest rainy season in Edinburgh. Director Wang came to the UK with his team and specially came to Edinburgh to visit his old classmates and meet Liu Xinyu by the way.

Seeing Liu Xinyu who was still in high spirits, Director Wang nodded secretly.

I thought that the little girl would not get used to it after coming to the UK, but it turned out that she was just as comfortable as at home.

But you still have to care about what you should care about, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to the old guys at Beijing University when you go back.

Director Wang put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Liu Xinyu with a smile and said: "How is it? Are you still used to it in the UK? Can you keep up with your studies?"

Liu Xinyu smiled sweetly and said: "It's okay, there's nothing I'm not used to. I just miss my family, my classmates, and you elders who care and love me occasionally. I can also keep up with my studies. Professor Federman is a very responsible scholar."

, although it is quite serious and even very severe, it has benefited me a lot.”

After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, Director Wang laughed.

He had already known about Liu Xinyu's situation in the past few months through Han Weicheng. What the little girl said was true but not entirely true.

She is still as humble as ever!

Her academic performance was just up to par.

According to Han Weicheng, the little girl's performance greatly exceeded Professor Federman's expectations.

For other students, it is the professor who uses the whip to force them to come up with research projects.

In Liu Xinyu's case, Professor Federman did not need to put any thought into it. Liu Xinyu set his own research direction and topic within a few days of arriving at the school.

It only took three months to complete a research project that others may not be able to complete in one year or even two years.

Her paper has attracted the attention and praise of the academic community.

After completing this research topic, Liu Xinyu was neither complacent nor relaxed, and immediately started a new topic.

This topic is one that Professor Federman has always wanted to address but has not been able to address.

It's not that Fedman doesn't have time, but because the subject involves so many topics, he has no confidence that he can continue with it, and of course, he has no confidence that it can produce results.

What surprised Professor Federman was that Liu Xinyu was like a newborn calf and just opened up this topic.

Although there is almost no progress so far, and the research process is somewhat difficult, Liu Xinyu is very persistent on this topic. Every day, he is either looking up information in the library or going deep into the folk, hoping to make this topic brighter by peeling off the cocoon.

The little girl really did not disappoint everyone!

Director Wang nodded secretly and sincerely praised Liu Xinyu for making the right move to come to the UK to study. She is definitely capable of bringing glory to the country.

"It's human nature to miss home. Work hard and strive to return home as soon as possible. By the way, if you need to take it back to your country, leave it to me and I'll take it back for you." Director Wang's warm smile was like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

Liu Xinyu felt very cordial.

She really wanted to ask Director Wang to help bring some things back, but the things were a bit big and she was a little embarrassed to ask.

Since Director Wang took the initiative to mention it, Liu Xinyu was of course not polite.

"Bring you two sock-making machines back?" After Liu Xinyu finished speaking, Director Wang suddenly lost his composure and looked at Liu Xinyu with wide eyes, wondering if he heard correctly.

Liu Xinyu tried hard to suppress the urge to change her words, lowered her eyes slightly and nodded, indicating that this was what she meant.

Although the machines Liu Xinyu wanted to ship back to China were not chemical equipment, but in the position of Director Wang, he still had a general understanding of the production equipment in various domestic industries.

Liu Xinyu's two electric sock-making machines will have a huge impact on the sock-making industry when they return to China.

Domestic sock-making manufacturers are still stuck in the backward hand-cranked production technology. It's not that no manufacturer has proposed importing electric sock-making equipment, but because the country's current national strength is limited and foreign exchange is seriously lacking, they can only ensure the introduction of key equipment.

Director Wang didn't know how Liu Xinyu bought these two machines, let alone where her money came from.

He was indeed very concerned about Liu Xinyu, and naturally knew that Liu Xinyu had been designing clothes for Shenghua Garment Factory and made a lot of money from it, but how much money would she have left after buying the courtyard house?

When Han Weicheng mentioned Liu Xinyu, he always praised Liu Xinyu's diligence and studiousness, but he did not mention Liu Xinyu's experience of working in Edinburgh.

So where did Liu Xinyu get the money to buy the equipment?

Out of concern for Liu Xinyu, Director Wang asked the doubts in his heart very seriously.

Liu Xinyu answered very calmly.

It’s costume design again!

That's right, in just five months, Liu Xinyu not only allowed herself to live a relatively comfortable life in Edinburgh by designing clothes, but also earned enough money to buy two new electric sock-making machines.

Due to cost considerations, Liu Xinyu did not plan to buy a new machine, but tried to find old sock-making machines that could still be used.

After it was confirmed that Director Wang's trip to the UK would include Edinburgh, Liu Xinyu bought two old sock-making machines that she was very satisfied with, and wanted to ask Director Wang to help transport them back to China and leave them to Fang Jing for consideration.

Before Director Wang arrived in Edinburgh, Liu Xinyu took the time to not only translate the operating instructions for the two electric sock-making machines into Chinese, but even made extremely detailed annotations.

I believe that after Fang Jing receives the machine, she can organize production with a little thought.

As long as the production capacity of the two machines is increased to 80%, the daily output can reach 500 pairs.

Nowadays, nylon socks in China are sold for around RMB 150. After excluding the cost, each pair can earn almost RMB 20 to RMB 250. The net profit per day is at least RMB 100, which is more profitable than making children's clothing and school bags.

These two old sock-making machines came from a German factory. Because they were old goods, Liu Xinyu didn't spend much money. They were basically the price of scraps. Now it's up to Director Wang to see if he can do this favor for him.

Since discovering the electric sock-making machine, Liu Xinyu has consulted about transportation issues more than once, but has repeatedly encountered obstacles. As long as there is a chance, she is not willing to trouble Director Wang with such a personal matter.

Director Wang pondered for a long time, and of course it was not impossible for him to help.

This inspection trip to the UK also yielded good results. Some of the purchased equipment needs to be shipped back to China. As long as proper arrangements are made, it is not difficult to ship Liu Xinyu's two machines back to China together. Director Wang even felt that two machines were too few.

Although it is only a small machine, it is a good machine if it can solve the daily needs of the domestic people.

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Since Director Wang could help her, in addition to setting aside money for transportation, all the remaining money was used to purchase old sock-making machines. In this way, Liufang Quilt Factory had eight more electric sock-making machines.

After parting ways, Director Wang gave some words of advice to Liu Xinyu. The main theme was that he hoped Liu Xinyu would reduce those unnecessary activities and focus more on her studies.

Liu Xinyu knew very well what Director Wang was referring to. After all, what Director Wang was asked to help bring back to China this time was of course not only eight old machines, but also new design drawings for the autumn and winter seasons designed for Shenghua Garment Factory.

Of course there are also a few letters, international mail is so expensive!

In Director Wang's view, Liu Xinyu indeed spent too much time and energy on things other than studying.

Facing Director Wang's earnest and serious gaze, Liu Xinyu could only nod respectfully.
