Chapter four hundred and ninety-one: pretending not to be the opposite and being beaten
Looking at the pattern on the paper carefully again, Father Xiang's face became more solemn. He didn't know this kind of thing and couldn't tell the authenticity from the fake.
But judging from Zhou Chen's expression, it doesn't look like it's fake.
With endless thoughts, Father Xiang put down the drawing and asked: "Do you want to use this thing in exchange for Guoxing Textile Factory? No, if it is really what you said, the value of this thing is compared to Guoxing Textile Factory."
If the textile factory is bigger, wouldn’t it be less cost-effective?”
No matter how important the textile factory is, it is just a mess that may go bankrupt at any time, but if this atomizer succeeds, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people.
Which one is more important, Xiang Fu, as a state cadre, still sees it very clearly.
Zhou Chen said: "Uncle Xiang, you have misunderstood. I have never thought about exchanging this item for Guoxing Textile Factory. This is not in line with the rules and is not in line with my ideas."
"Then what are you doing?"
Of course Xiang's father knew that it would be against the rules if he did that, but Zhou Chen showed him the things. What did it mean?
Zhou Chen replied: "If I wanted to make money from this thing, I could apply for a patent internationally, but I didn't do that because I didn't want to use it to make profits. I was prepared to donate it to the country for free.
"
"Dedicate yourself to the country free of charge?"
Father Xiang looked horrified. This thing was definitely more valuable than a textile factory. Zhou Chen was willing to donate it to the country for free, which was really beyond his expectation.
"Yes, Uncle Xiang, to tell you the truth, I don't have a big idea about money. As long as I can guarantee a certain living foundation, it is enough. I studied medicine because I saw that domestic medicine is looked down upon by foreigners, so I thought
We must revitalize national medicine.”
"If I say this, you may think I am exaggerating, but this is really the revenge in my heart. This mesh atomizer is the first medical item I invented with great pains. I want to dedicate it to you, Uncle Xiang, through your hands.
The country only hopes to get some preferential treatment in the acquisition of Guoxing Textile Factory."
When Zhou Chen was talking, Xiang's father kept staring at Zhou Chen's eyes. He found that Zhou Chen's eyes were clean and did not look like he was lying.
But he has lived for so many years and has become a mature man. How could he believe Zhou Chen just because of his few words?
"What do you mean, if we can't acquire Guoxing Textile Factory, won't we dedicate this to the country?"
"No, I will still donate it for free, but it will be donated through Jinling Medical College when the time comes."
Xiang's father understood. What Zhou Chen meant was that he could donate the mesh atomizer through him, so that he could be credited with it in exchange for his help in acquiring the Guoxing Textile Factory.
"At such a young age, Huahua has a lot of guts. If you hadn't been classmates with Nanfang, I would have really doubted where you came from."
Zhou Chen smiled. Although Father Xiang said this, his expression was smiling and he didn't mean to blame him.
"Uncle Xiang, what do you mean?"
Father Xiang said: "This matter is not under my direct jurisdiction, but I can recommend someone to you."
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhou Chen was overjoyed. It was the best thing that Father Xiang was willing to help.
"I am willing to help you, not because of this atomizer or other reasons, but because of your plan. If it succeeds, I hope you will not go against what you said, and you must give those workers a good
working environment."
"Uncle Xiang, don't worry, if it succeeds, the workers will be our family, and I will never let them down."
"I hope you can do what you say, and I will supervise you."
Then the two chatted for a long time about the Guoxing Textile Factory. Before leaving, Xiang's father handed the drawings to Zhou Chen.
"You can take this back with you. It should not be contributed to the country through my hands."
Zhou Chen was immediately filled with admiration after hearing this. Although the mesh atomizer he invented is not a big invention, it can definitely play a huge role in today's era. The fact that Father Xiang can ignore such achievements shows that he
It's really selfless.
"I understand, it was me who was abrupt."
Seeing Zhou Chen and his father walking out of the study peacefully, Xiang Nanfang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she also believed that her father would not embarrass Zhou Chen, she was worried and felt a little inexplicably nervous.
"Dad, Zhou Chen, have you guys finished talking?"
Zhou Chen smiled, but Xiang Fu said dissatisfiedly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, so don't worry about it."
Xiang Nanfang stuck out his tongue, and Xiang's father said to Zhou Chen: "It's getting late, so we won't keep you here. Please be careful when you go back."
"Thank you, Uncle Xiang."
Zhou Chen said goodbye to Xiang's father and Xiang's mother, and then prepared to leave. Xiang Nanfang followed him, preparing to send him out.
Just as he walked to the door, Xiang Beifang, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came over with a handbag in his hand.
"Zhou Chen, wait."
Zhou Chen stopped, while Xiang Nanfang frowned and looked at Xiang Beiyi with dissatisfaction, wondering what kind of monster his elder brother was trying to do again.
Xiang Beifang walked up to Zhou Chen with a smile, and his smile looked fake no matter how tall he looked.
"Brother Xiang, is something wrong?"
Xiang Beifang said: "It's our first time meeting you. As your brother, this is a gift from me. Let's see if you like it."
As he said that, he lifted up the handbag in his hand. Zhou Chen glanced at it and saw two bottles of red wine. He didn't understand what Xiang Beiyi meant.
Is there any trick here?
It's not that he treats a gentleman with a villain's heart, but it's because Xiang Beiyi's attitude just now was not friendly, and his smile now is a bit fake.
Zhou Chen also showed a fake smile and politely declined: "Brother Xiang, you are too polite. You will not receive any reward for no merit, so just forget about it."
"How can that be done? This is red wine. It is a scarce product and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. You must have never seen it. Take it back and give it a try. Maybe you will like it."
This was said calmly, but it gave off a condescending tone. Before Zhou Chen could do anything, Xiang Nanfang was already angry.
"Xiang Beifang."
Xiang Beifang looked at Xiang Nanfang pretending to be confused and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Can't I give Zhou Chen some red wine to get closer to him?"
"you."
Xiang Nanfang was very angry, but it was not easy to refute. Even though Xiang Beifang's words were full of guns and sticks, he was indeed giving a gift.
Zhou Chen was not angry, but showed a half-smiling expression, pretending to be curious and glanced at the red wine package.
"Brother Xiang, which winery is this red wine from? Lafite, Latour, Romanee-Conti, Obiang?"
Gu Hao
Xiang Beili, who was waiting to see Zhou Chen's joke, heard Zhou Chen's words, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
He only knows red wine, but if you ask him what winery it is, he has no idea. As for Lafite, Latour, etc., he has never heard of it.
Seeing Xiang Beifang speechless, Zhou Chen didn't laugh at him. He just said calmly: "I don't like red wine very much, so I will leave this wine to Brother Xiang to taste by himself. Brother Xiang, if there is nothing else,
If so, I’ll leave first.”
Xiang Nanfang sent Zhou Chen outside and said sheepishly: "Zhou Chen, my eldest brother is so embarrassed."
Zhou Chen said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to contact your father. This matter might be even more troublesome, so you helped me a lot."
Only then did Xiang Nanfang smile and return to his natural self: "Since you said that, should you treat me to a meal?"
"Of course it's no problem. You can choose the location. I've been at home recently. If you think about it, just call me."
"Then it's settled."
"Well, you go back, it's quite cold outside."
"Then ride slowly when you go back, the road is slippery."
"Then I'll leave first, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
…………
Xiang Nannan returned home and saw his eldest brother sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the red wine on the table, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, are you still studying red wine?"
Xiang Bei's face was livid. He didn't hit Zhou Chen just now, but he was ridiculed, and his face was slapped.
"Nanfang, didn't you say that boy was from an ordinary background and was a worker's son? Why does he even know about such a scarce thing as red wine? And are the wineries he mentioned red wine brands? How come I haven't heard of them?
"
Although red wine has long entered the country, it is not considered mainstream in the country at this time. Since it is a foreign product, it is very difficult to buy.
He was right. Ordinary people in this era have probably never heard of red wine. He knew that red wine was given to him by his friends.
It's just that compared to soft red wine, he still prefers stronger white wine, so naturally he won't study red wine brands or wineries.
As a result, he failed to show off today and was slapped in the face, which made him very unhappy.
Xiang Nanfang: "I don't know much about him, but I advise you to keep a low profile in the future. Zhou Chen is not one of your bad friends, and you are not his opponent at all."
This is her true words. She has known Zhou Chen for so many years and is very aware of Zhou Chen's intelligence. Her eldest brother Xiang Beigui is more like a reckless man. Apart from having a better background than Zhou Chen, he cannot compare with Zhou Chen in other aspects.
It was for his own good that she didn't let her eldest brother provoke Zhou Chen.
"snort."
Xiang Beifang snorted in displeasure. Thinking of being suppressed first by Zhou Chen's hand strength and then by Zhou Chen's IQ and knowledge today, how could he be willing to accept it?
"Nanfang, are you really falling in love with that boy? He is just from an ordinary working-class family. He is not worthy of you, and his parents will not agree."
Xiang Nannan glared at him: "You don't have to worry about my affairs, just mind your own."
Of course she knew what she was thinking. She had stayed in the capital for nearly half a year and had met many outstanding peers, but she was still full of curiosity about Zhou Chen, which meant that Zhou Chen had already occupied a certain position in her heart.
But Zhou Chen didn't know what he meant to her and didn't show it at all, so she didn't dare to show her feelings easily.
Seeing the look on his sister's face, Xiang Beifang knew that his persuasion had no effect. He wanted to talk again, but he found a way not to give him a chance and went upstairs directly.
"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it someday."
…………
With the help of Xiang's father, Zhou Chen started busy with acquisitions during the holidays. He took his parents to visit officials to discuss acquisitions...
Finally, relying on the guarantee of some people, he obtained a loan from the bank, and finally reached an agreement with the government.
The entire acquisition process lasted for more than two months. In the end, Guoxing Textile Factory became a private enterprise of the Zhou family, and the legal person and boss was Zhou Jianguo.
During the acquisition of the textile factory, the employees of the factory almost started a riot. In the end, Zhou Jianguo and deputy factory director He came forward in person and constantly assured the workers that not only would there be no layoffs, but production would be expanded, and future wages would also be increased.
The salary arrears will be paid as normal and will be repaid after one year.
Everyone works to make money. Except for a few organized workers who are dissatisfied and feel that their status has been greatly reduced from being a state worker to a worker in a private enterprise, and they continue to make troubles, the others soon become honest, especially those who
The workers who had no establishment were even more excited.
They are all temporary workers and are not as good as regular workers. It is a great blessing for them to have a guaranteed job.
To be honest, Zhou Chen was also surprised that Deputy Director He was willing to stay.
Because when Guoxing Textile Factory was a state-owned enterprise, Deputy Director He was a state cadre. Although his rank was not high, he was still a cadre.
But after he stayed, his identity was gone. For people of this era, this was not a good choice.
Zhou Chen sat behind the scenes and helped his father with suggestions. The Guoxing Textile Factory soon changed its name to Chenxing Textile Factory, and a department was added, a clothing department that produced finished products.
That's right, a textile factory that became a private enterprise was destined to lose many business partners, so Zhou Chen found a new way, no longer just producing raw materials, but also producing finished garments.
Zhou Chen's vision is decades ahead of today's world. Although he has never studied clothing specifically, he can rely on his own knowledge to make some fashionable clothing.
After Chenxing Textile Factory experienced a period of shock for half a year, it quickly regained its vitality. Especially when Chenxing's clothing began to sell well, Chenxing Textile Factory developed rapidly.
It didn't take long for Chenxing Textile Factory to turn a profit. By the end of the year, it was developing rapidly and became a famous textile and garment factory in East China.
The textile factory that was despised by everyone at the beginning of the year has become a popular company in less than a year. The wages of the workers in the factory have been upgraded to a higher level. They earn more and the benefits are no worse than those of state-owned enterprises.
This has made Zhou Jianguo, a private boss, respected and loved by countless people.
What's wrong with not having a formal establishment? I make a lot of money; this is what many Chenxing employees think now.
What I regret most is that after the Guoxing Textile Factory was acquired, those who left saw their former workers making small fortunes one by one, and their eyes turned red with envy.
But there is no point regretting it. Fortunately, Chenxing’s announcement has been issued and it will expand the scale after the year. New people will be recruited by then, and they will still have a chance to go back.
The development of Chenxing has stunned many people in the city. Who would have thought that in just one year, Zhou Jianguo could bring about earth-shaking changes in Guoxing Textile Factory.
The rapid development of Chenxing has also made many people who were originally waiting to make up their mind to start as a private enterprise.
To other people, Chenxing's development is very rapid, but in Zhou Chen's view, this is within his plan. If it were not limited by the times, it would develop faster.
He has made plans for his father Zhou Jianguo for several years, so now he no longer keeps an eye on Chenxing Textile Factory, and spends more time on study and medical development.
Zhou Chen did not keep the mesh atomizer. He gave it to the hospital and then applied for a patent in the name of Jinling Medical College. Then the province and the college jointly opened a factory for production, and after the experiment was successful, it was quickly put into use.
