Hearing this, Chu Chengmu stopped and turned around and said:

"I'm not angry. How can I be so stingy? I thought you had something to do, but it's almost noon and I have to go down and make lunch."

Seeing Chu Chengmu stop, Dai Jing seemed to feel better for some reason.

"Did you see it?" Dai Jing's eyes narrowed with laughter, thinking to herself, if I hadn't seen you feeding the white porcelain doll grapes just now, I would have believed you were not stingy.

Chu Chengmu did not avoid her gaze and said with a smile:

"You almost have your worries written on your face. Last time, Yan Shumo said that something was wrong with you. There was no light on in the place where you lived for several days. I thought it was a little strange. So, what, I just came to your door that morning to listen.

Listen to see if there is any movement inside."

Under Senior Sister Dai's clear gaze, Chu Chengmu also felt a little overwhelmed, and in the end he looked away.

"Actually, it's nothing. I was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Maybe I've been under a lot of pressure lately, but I can't find anyone to talk to. After thinking about it, maybe the most suitable person around me is you, but you seem to be avoiding me.

Look at me."

Dai Jing wrinkled her nose, her tone was a little aggrieved, and she looked like she was trying to hold back but was about to cry.

Chu Chengmu took out two tissues from his trouser pocket, put them on the heat insulation board with slight green marks, motioned Dai Jing to sit down, and he also sat aside.

Dai Jing gently lifted up the hem of her dress and sat down. The hem of her dress was sandwiched between her legs, revealing two slender white calves.

"I'm not hiding from you. Rocket class is originally an independent classroom and is not with us. Plus, as I said just now, I have been busy with other things during that time."

"Go on, I promise to be a good listener."

The senior sister seems to be much more fragile. In the past, she was always so proud, confident, and cheerful. She would never show such an expression as if she was about to cry in front of Chu Chengmu. Even the last time she knew that Chu Chengmu would not go to Kyoto,

In the end, he just lowered his head silently.

Hey, why do I always see girls crying recently? They are still as heartless as porcelain dolls. Chu Chengmu sat quietly aside, waiting for Senior Sister Dai to clear up her mood.

"About a week ago, someone splashed red paint on the door of my house, with words like repaying debts and killing people to pay for their lives, just like in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies." Dai Jing sniffed and said softly.

"After my mother came home, she saw the writing on the door and was frightened. She called my father and I home. My father's face was ashen. After a long conversation, I realized that the situation of my father's electronics factory was not very good."

"He said that he had been reluctant to go home just to avoid bringing things from the factory back home, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen."

"During this time, when I'm not here, I just stay at home with my mother. My father said that he would take care of the storms outside, but I know that he has no choice, and the number of gray hairs on his head has increased visibly."

"At times like this, I really want to do something to help my family, but after thinking about it, I found that besides reading, I can't do anything else."

"Chu Chengmu, I originally thought that studying was a useless thing, but today when I heard you talk about the reasons why you chose Yuhua, I suddenly realized that maybe it is not the study itself that is useless, but the useless thing.

This is who I am.”

After saying that, the senior sister flattened her mouth again, looking very sad.

When Chu Chengmu heard this, he thought to himself that if he had not been reborn, he would not be as good as you. The senior sister thinks highly of him.

After thinking for a while, Chu Chengmu spoke to comfort him:

"How old is Senior Sister?"

"I just turned nineteen a few days ago!"

He just turned nineteen a few days ago? Doesn’t that mean he is younger than himself? Something seems to be wrong. Chu Chengmu muttered in his heart and comforted:

"Senior sister, you are only nineteen years old. At this age, shouldn't you be able to study? Apart from this, what else do you want to know? Yan Shumo, Qin Yi, Xiao Liu, and so many classmates around me, they can't even study

I can’t read as well as you, and I don’t understand anything else. This is the norm for our age!”

"A top student is not an all-rounder. You have too high requirements for yourself. In my opinion, just being able to study to the extreme is already a very powerful thing. The age when you should study is

If you study well and do your job well when you reach the age where you should work, then this person will already be very powerful."

The senior sister wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "You have talked about so many people, why didn't you talk about yourself?"

"I don't count the cheating!" Chu Chengmu spoke quickly and said without thinking.

"What? What does cheating mean?" the senior asked in confusion.

"What I mean is that some things are innate. Let's get to know my senior sister. In fact, I don't know what I am doing now. I just thought of it and gave it a try."

Hearing what Chu Chengmu said, she knew in her heart that he was trying to comfort her, and Dai Jing felt a little better.

"After listening to my senior sister say so much, I still don't know what the electronics factory at her home produces?"

You know, in recent years, in order to attract investment, there have been many preferential policies for setting up factories and enterprises in Yuzhou City, such as two exemptions and one reduction. And from what I heard, my senior’s factory should have been very profitable before, so how can it still be profitable?

Problem.

"DVD is the kind that plays discs." Dai Jing replied.

"Ahem, DVD?"

Chu Chengmu almost choked on his saliva when he heard this.

A prototype of this thing was released in Japan in early 1996. At that time, domestic intellectual property protection was almost non-existent. The prototype was taken back and dismantled, and there were no barriers to production. Various domestic brands of DVDs were in full bloom.

.

After entering the country in 1997, its initial development was not ideal, with annual sales of about 50,000 units. Later, through the promotion of Xinke and Malida, the concept of DVD was accepted by the Chinese people, and annual sales reached two million units.

Two thousand years later, about 70% of the DVDs in the world were produced in China. But the bad thing happened on December 11, 2001, when China joined the WTO.

The Patent Alliance, composed of six giants that hold DVD core patents: Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and Time Warner, began to harvest leeks and required Chinese companies to pay patent fees. The highest patent fees were as high as 19 per machine.

Dollar.

A Chinese company exports a DVD that costs US$32, and the profit is only a mere US$1.

This controversy about patent fees lasted until about 2006, with both good and bad consequences. It was a wake-up call for domestic enterprises. Since then, "Made in China" has gradually transformed into "Created in China." Now it often explodes.

Damn it, any copycat phone is just bullshit. In those days, it was not a nice thing to say.

Calculating the time, now should be the time when Japan's 6C Alliance is making the most noise. Except for the larger domestic DVD manufacturers, small businesses have almost disappeared overnight. My senior and his father have been able to survive until now. Come to think of it.

It's not easy either.

Moreover, in Mianyang, Shuzhou, which is only more than 300 kilometers away from Yuzhou, there is also a giant Changhong. You can imagine how difficult the life of the senior school's factory is.

"Is there something wrong?" Dai Jing asked suspiciously after seeing Chu Chengmu's reaction.

Chu Chengmu tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, and while telling Dai Jing about the stakes inside, he was thinking about whether to wade into this muddy water. He had too many things to do recently.

, no matter, let’s leave it like this for now.

Damn it, did Lao Chu and Lao Meng not celebrate their birthdays? Chu Chengmu suddenly thought something was wrong.

Chu Chengmu raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost time to make lunch, so he stood up and said to Dai Jing, who was still digesting the content of the conversation:

"Sister, it's almost time. I have to go downstairs to cook. Don't think too much. I have an exam tomorrow. It's useless to think about it now."

When Dai Jing heard this, she yelled and stood up obediently, but her eyes were still a little dull, as if she still hadn't recovered from the conversation just now.

"Chu Chengmu, from what you said, you seem to understand this very well? Then wouldn't it mean that my father's factory is hopeless?"

Chu Chengmu, who was walking downstairs in front, sighed and said:

"Senior sister, now is not the time to think about this. Prepare for the exam first. Haven't you been preparing for Wudaokou for so many years? Don't make mistakes in the last few days."

"Besides, you can't decide on the factory at home. To be honest, as for DVD, even if there is no patent fee, the domestic market is basically saturated. It is possible to fight in a red sea and carve out a bloody way.

Very, very small.”

"In the future, media carriers will be networked and digitalization will be the general trend. It cannot be said that DVDs will be eliminated, but they will indeed not be of much use in the future."
