Regarding the old man's words, Yang Zhen did not answer immediately. After another period of silence, Yang Zhen said: "Old man, it's not that I don't promise you. I don't know if Xiao Yuan has mentioned it to you. I have had it before. My fiancée, but on the eve of our wedding the year before last, she died on the battlefield before the victory of that battle."
"Although she is no longer alive, it is impossible for me to forget her so quickly. I am not that kind of emotional person. When faced with the life and death of thousands of people on the battlefield, I used to be indifferent. It’s a mistake, but it’s hard to forget the feelings that were once unforgettable.”
"Just like you, after your wife died of illness at an early age, although she has made a fortune over the years, she has never renewed her marriage. She has been living alone with several children. Maybe there is a reason for worrying that the youngest son will be abused by his stepmother, but I What I think of more is that I can’t forget my lost love.”
"Everyone has feelings. It has taken such a long time to make you forget your missing wife. In such a short time, it has made me forget a woman who loved me unforgettable. I'm sorry that I really can't do it. Especially since she is not only my lover, but also my comrade and comrade-in-arms."
"Old man, it's not that I, Yang Zhen, have gradually become charming and dazzled by the flowers and plants in front of me. As my status and status have increased, I have forgotten my roots. It's not that I am pretentious and pretend to be passionate in front of you. I want to win your sympathy, but there are many things that I really can’t do, at least now.”
"Xiao Yuan is a good girl. Not only does she help me a lot at work, but she also takes very good care of my life. In addition to being handsome in appearance, she is also knowledgeable and talented on the inside. She is familiar with many foreign languages. I don’t know anything about her inner thoughts.”
"Indeed, I am somewhat slow in terms of emotions, but I am not stupid or insensitive. If a person who is with me all day long can't see or feel the thoughts of the people around me, then I still can't see or feel them. Not to mention that I can do well in other aspects, my observation skills are not that bad."
"It would be nonsense to say that I have no feelings for Xiao Yuan at all. In such a long time, I have developed some feelings even if I have been together day and night, but this kind of feeling has not yet risen to love. I admit that I have feelings for Xiao Yuan. Yuan also has a good impression of the old man, but please ask me to make you a promise now. I really can't say it out loud, and I can't deceive you without conscience."
"I can only assure you that I will try to accept Xiao Yuan's feelings for me in my future work and life, but you have to give me some time to accept Xiao Yuan. I know you don't want to see your last My beloved daughter is emotionally hurt, but I also believe that as a father, you would not be willing to see your daughter live an unhappy life, living a life that seems to be incompatible with the world."
"You are a businessman. There is a saying that rushing is not a business. You should know that there are many things, especially emotional things, that cannot be forced. Instead of me forcing you to make any promises to deceive you, it is better to go with it. It’s natural, and it’s better to let time smooth it out and verify it bit by bit.”
"Old man, psychological wounds take time to heal. I believe that as long as you give me a period of time, and Xiao Yuan himself is so good, we will eventually get together. But old man, I still say the same thing, You have to give me time to slowly get into a new relationship."
When Yang Zhen finished speaking, Mr. Yuan, who he thought would get angry, slapped his thigh and said, "I, Yuan Jiaju, really did not misjudge the person. You, General Yang, are not the kind of unlucky person. Little Yuan did not treat me in your matter." Having said it before, this girl is still very tight-lipped, especially when it comes to your confidentiality regulations, she will not say it easily."
"But what you told me today, I believe you did not deceive me. I believe it is true, because there is no need for you to deceive me on this matter. Although you, General Yang, are young, you can do it in a short period of time." To grow the army to such an extent in less than three years is definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense."
"I understand your feelings for your fiancée who has sacrificed his life, and this is what I appreciate most about you. Even though you did not give me the commitment I wanted, I can still leave with peace of mind, because I believe that a man who has sacrificed his fiancee can There is someone with such deep feelings who will never let my daughter down, and what I believe more is my daughter’s vision, she will never see the wrong person."
"If you had agreed easily just now, I would not have left. Don't worry, General Yang. Although I am old, I am not old and foolish. If you had agreed easily, I would be worried." You are fooling me. When I leave and the information is not so well-informed, I will never know where you will end up."
"After hearing my request, if you make a promise directly, then I can only think that you want to coax me away first, because I can see that although Zhiruo is interested in you, maybe you also have some feelings for her. But in your heart, we are far from talking about marriage."
"If you agree too quickly, it will arouse my suspicion. Now that you have expressed your stance like this, I feel relieved. General Yang is honest enough. I also believe that General Yang will treat Zhiruo kindly. Now I just hope No matter whether you and Zhiruo will get together in the future, don't let her get hurt."
"Although this child was born in a wealthy family and is well-fed and well-dressed. Although she has never been hungry since she was a child, she has lost her mother since she was a child. In addition, I am worried that she will contract the coquettish and unruly habits of children from rich families, so I have treated her since she was a child. They were under strict control, and when they had just grown up, they encountered the fall of their home and country, and the Japanese forced them to be young children."
"A girl marched and fought with the army all day long. She had no food to eat and no clothes to wear in the deep mountains and old forests in the ice and snow. She was also faced with the Japanese and puppet troops' purges at any time. After the army was dispersed the year before last, she was still in the mountains and forests. Hidden among them is a savage who has been a savage for nearly a year."
"You also know the weather in northern Manchuria in winter. It's freezing at 20 to 30 degrees below zero. I once saw with my own eyes that after the soldiers of your Anti-Alliance Third Route Army were captured, they were paraded through the streets of Harbin by the Japanese and puppet troops. It was the coldest month of winter. , the weather was more than 30 degrees below zero, and I was still wearing single clothes, and my whole body was covered in blue and purple from the cold, and there was no good spot anywhere."
"At that time, apart from admiring you, I only felt that these anti-Union soldiers were too pitiful. I admired them very much, but I never thought that my most beloved little daughter would become one of them and suffer the consequences they suffered. , my daughter has also experienced the suffering she has suffered. I really don’t know how she survived it when she had never suffered any hardship at home."
"As her father, I really don't want to see her get hurt again. Maybe you don't understand this now. When you become a father one day, you will understand my current mood. Zhiruo is a good girl. I really I hope you can cherish her well and be able to support her in the future. This can be regarded as a father's farewell request."
After listening to Father Yuan's meaningful words, it took a long time for Yang Zhen to speak, and said in a very sincere tone: "Old man, please rest assured. Although I can't give you a decision now, I will never let down Xiao Yuan. You also have to believe in us. Ability to finally defeat all enemies who dare to invade our land and oppress my people, and completely expel them from our land."
"We will never go back to the past. If we need to add a deadline, we will never go back to the past. As long as we hold firm beliefs, we will develop and eventually become stronger. In the future, we will not only We must have our own army, our own air force, and in the future, we will also have a powerful navy. We will prevent the enemy from ever having the courage to invade our land again."
Yang Zhen's words made Mr. Yuan nodded slightly: "I believe you have this ability, and I believe you will do it. I will do my best in the United States to comply with your requirements and provide you with good support. When I was young, I have been to Japan and Jiangbei, but I have not been to the United States. I also want to experience the elegance of the world's number one economic power."
Looking at Mr. Yuan who was full of confidence, Yang Zhen smiled heartily. He still believed in Mr. Yuan's business talent, and he was more confident in the technologies he provided. Although many of these things were not They may seem trivial, but they are all closely related to people’s lives.
In fact, Yang Zhen was going to provide it to Mr. Yuan to open up the market in the United States. If anyone in later generations could recognize it, among the products that Yang Zhen provided to Mr. Yuan to open up the American market, the first one was alkaline batteries. Although dry batteries Carbon batteries have been invented a long time ago, but they still have little capacity.
Compared with the currently widely used carbon batteries, alkaline batteries can produce five to seven times the power of the currently used carbon batteries in the same volume. Moreover, their shape is highly malleable and can be made into different sizes. The convenience of use is far better than the current carbon batteries.
Yang Zhen believes that as long as alkaline batteries are put into production, their inherent advantages will inevitably replace the current widespread carbon batteries in the shortest possible time. In future generations, this kind of thing that has become a public hazard but that ordinary people cannot do without will only The annual sales volume in China reaches several billions. Compared with the affluence and consumption concepts of the United States, the market prospects for this humble thing are extremely broad.
Of course, it’s not just alkaline batteries. Since the number and variety of small household appliances using batteries, except flashlights, are not too large at present, Yang Zhen is also trying to find ways to develop small household appliances that use this kind of batteries on a large scale. Within the scope of consideration, the uses are limited. Who should these batteries be sold to, such as blade electric shavers, new flashlights, portable radios, and, of course, the flashes used in new cameras?
In addition to these small appliances that sell very well, there are also several things that are not easy to say, such as oral contraceptives and some women's products, which are the most widely sold in later generations and are a must for every adult woman, rich or poor. Women's products "sanitary napkins", although this product is a bit embarrassing for some grown men, it is the easiest thing to open up the market.
