That night, Jiang Chen invited Hu Yang and others to dinner in the hotel, and he had to drink some more wine.
When I came out, I watched Hu Yang and others leave by car. I saw that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The city was bright and the wine was green at this time, and the gold was intoxicating. When the warm wind blew, it seemed like a Buddha, which was no worse than it was after more than twenty years.
"Is it okay?" Xu Yue thoughtfully handed a cup of flower tea on the side of the road.
She no longer remembers how many times she had eaten with Jiang Chen. She knew that just like those times before, she hadn't drunk.
He never forced her to drink.
Usually, he would block the wine, either refuse to say she couldn't drink it or drink it for her.
To this day, she still clearly remembers what he said when she went out for the first time to eat. Girls should take good care of themselves when they are away. They should try not to touch the drinks if they can avoid them. Water, drinks, water that is out of sight, drinks
, don't drink it.
In fact, she felt that the world was not that bad, because he thought too much and thought too badly about people's hearts.
But that kind of meticulousness and care made her very useful, and she couldn't feel a little sweet when she thought of it.
Jiang Chen took the tea, took a deep breath, drank it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, are you full? If you don't have enough, let's eat something more."
Xu Yue thought about it, and after relieving her majestic hair, she suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Then let's eat some more, I guess you're not full either."
In this situation, just drinking and talking, there are very limited things that really get into your stomach.
She was fine. She ate silently without drinking. She was not very full, but she was not hungry.
Jiang Chen was a bit bad. She basically picked up some of the whole process, and she actually ate very little when she ate it with her chopsticks.
In addition, at such nights and moments, she had an impulse to eat a little more with her and stay with her for a while. Just like that, the two of them were in this slightly drunk warm breeze.
Jiang Chen is almost the same.
Before, I ate, drank, and chatted and laughed in the hotel. That was a work requirement, to socialize and expand my network.
I can’t talk about being happy, let alone being liked.
What he really yearns for is the kind of carefree and unrestrained life that only his own people are.
So the two of them came to a barbecue stall together.
The file is what we say here, it is actually a store.
The business of the store is very good, it looks ordinary, it is not good-looking, but it is affordable, down-to-earth, and has a strong popularity.
"Or that's it?"
"That's it, and another bottle of beer by the way."
Actually, I have eaten a lot of barbecue recently, and all kinds of seafood have become a little hot.
But this does not prevent Xu Yue from liking such a relaxed and private atmosphere.
As for drinking, there is nothing else, just thinking about it. As long as she is willing to do this, Jiang Chen usually doesn't stop her.
So Jiang Chen ordered a bunch of eggplant, potatoes, oysters, squid, mutton, live fish, and asked for another bottle of beer.
He poured one cup on each person, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Don't drink too much, just this bottle, and leave after drinking and eating."
Xu Yue held her cheek with one hand, raised her glass and smiled and said, "Okay, you are the boss, I'll listen to you."
Just chatting like this, drinking sips without sip, and soon the barbecue came one after another.
I have to say that it is better than baking it yourself.
Xu Yue peeled a shrimp and sent it to Jiang Chen's mouth, and asked, "Ask a question, foreign countries are so disciplined, can't you sell things without patent authorization?"
This is a very interesting question.
This question has troubled Xu Yue for almost a whole day, but she hasn't had the chance to ask.
Jiang Chen ate the shrimp in one bite, took a charcoal oyster and put it in the plate in front of Xu Yue. He said in a speechless manner: "It is true that you cannot sell without a patent authorization, otherwise it will be very troublesome to get involved in a lawsuit.
But when it comes to rules, it is actually not entirely true. It is nothing more than whether it is worth it or not to follow the rules.”
"How do you say it?" Xu Yue immediately became interested. There were many good looks from men, but Jiang Chen was definitely her favorite one at this time.
She likes his wise and confident look.
Just as she likes him chatting and laughing with those big guys at the dinner table.
Jiang Chen took a string of leeks and said with a smile while eating: "Simple, all rules are used to break, nothing more than whether it is worth it or not.
It's like a patent.
What does a patent do? The patent explicitly says that it protects intellectual property rights and respects knowledge. It is very high-sounding and irrefutable.
In fact, this is also a good thing, which is conducive to technological innovation and promotes healthy and orderly development of society.
But can't this rule really be broken?
Obviously not, it is nothing more than the price, whether it is appropriate or not.
The cost is too high, inappropriate, and not cost-effective, so naturally the rules will not be broken.
Not only will it not be broken, but it also needs to work hard to make everyone abide by it.
On the other hand, when the benefits exceed the price, it is appropriate and cost-effective, the rule is the paper in the toilet, and it will be torn."
Actually, it’s very simple, just two words, benefits.
The world is bustling with people, all for profit, and all for profit. The rules are made by people and are used to restrain others.
Why follow the rules?
That's because there are benefits.
On the other hand, there is no benefit, it is inappropriate to me, causing a drag, and it is time to abolish and break it.
This is the essence of the Western world.
In the Western world, the essence is robbers, and invasion and plunder are genes engraved into the bone marrow.
Today they pursue patent first and strict law enforcement, which is not ultimately because of respecting intellectual property rights, but because they are strong and their technology is more developed.
If there is a day when the situation reverses, it may not be better than in China.
After hearing this, Xu Yue seemed to understand, "What do you mean is that just our little things are not worth breaking the rules abroad?"
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, if it is a controlled nuclear fusion, they will use whatever they want to rob and even assassinate, but we can't even be considered a fly.
No one is stupid enough to overturn the whole table of delicious food because of a fly.
If flies appear on the dining table, they will drive them away and find ways to kill them, but we can’t even count as flies, so we naturally don’t have to worry about being targeted.”
This is the underlying logic.
Foreigners are not born to abide by the rules. The reason for observing them is not because of their noble character, but because they are not worth it.
On the contrary, if the one that appears on the table is a fish, a piece of meat, or even a yellow gold bar...
It may change all of a sudden.
patent?
no
It is precisely based on this logic that foreign investors will not purchase products without patent authorization, which is essentially irrelevant to whether they abide by the rules.
Xu Yue understood: "So that's the case. I thought foreigners were different, they were of higher quality than us!"
A little silly.
But in fact, let alone this time, even in the next twenty or thirty years, many people still think so.
It is always said to be of quality.
Jiang Chen laughed and shook his head: "Most of the people in this world have no quality and have nothing to do with China and abroad.
Many times, the reason why people seem to be of quality is because they have never been poor and speak without a pain in their backs. If they really get to that point, no one will be better than anyone else.”
Xu Yue thought about it and smiled: "That's right. If one day I'm about to starve to death, I might also go and steal it!"
After saying that, he picked up the oysters from the plate, picked out the meat and sent it to Jiang Chen's mouth: "Ah——"
