Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong was thinking about finding an opportunity to go to Shanghai for inspection. It happened that his uncle Zhou Yunsheng came back from the other side to visit relatives and would stay in Shanghai for a while. Li Weidong thought about taking his parents to Shanghai to meet his uncle and let his parents

When traveling in a big city, you can also check it out by yourself.

Major family affairs have always been decided by Li Weidong, the eldest son. Li Dengke and Zhou Yunxiu did not refuse and agreed to follow Li Weidong to Shanghai.

The house was left to his younger brother Li Weimin to look after the house.

Li Weimin also wanted to go to Shanghai to play, but unfortunately he had to work and was not as free as the big boss Li Weidong.

However, Li Weidong left Li Weimin three hundred yuan, which immediately relieved Li Weimin's depression.

In a small city like Qinghe, three hundred yuan is equivalent to two or three months of living expenses for an ordinary family, and it is a big meal. Li Weimin carries three hundred yuan alone, which is enough for him to spend a while!

Li Weidong also deliberately left more money for his younger brother. He was worried that his second-rate brother would not have enough money, so he suddenly thought that if he sold the valuable things at home, he would lose money, so he might as well leave more money for him.

money.

Three hundred yuan is enough for Li Weimin to visit a game arcade.

Although playing games in the arcade is not a very healthy behavior, it is better than causing trouble outside. His parents and Li Weidong, his elder brother, are not around, so Li Weimin spends all day in the arcade, which is safer.

After the family arrived in Shanghai, Li Weidong arranged for his parents to stay in a hotel, signed them up for a one-day tour, and then started busy with his own affairs.

Li Weidong bought some tobacco, wine, sugar, tea and other gifts, and went to the family courtyard of the Fifth Component Factory to visit a retired engineer.

Component Factory No. 5 is an enterprise with a glorious history. It was also a backbone enterprise in the domestic electronic components industry.

The Fifth Component Factory was established in the 1950s. It was formerly a semiconductor factory. Later, the crystal factory and the telecommunications equipment factory were also merged into it, and it was renamed the Fifth Component Factory.

In the 1960s, Component Factory No. 5 began to produce silicon planar low-power transistors, and in the 1970s it began to produce integrated circuits. Many of the devices they produced were used in national defense projects, such as satellites, missiles, and ships.

There are components produced by the fifth component factory.

Today, the fifth component factory mainly produces microwave low-noise transistors, medium-power transistors, bipolar analog integrated circuits and other products.

The retired engineer Li Weidong wants to visit is named Tang Renjie. He is an expert in the research of microwave low-noise transistors. The principle of this thing is similar to that of a microwave oven. If Tang Renjie can be hired, then he will have a backbone to establish a microwave oven R&D team.

Li Weidong knocked on the door of Tang Renjie's house, but the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his late forties.

"Who are you looking for?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I am Engineer Tang." Li Weidong replied.

"That's me." The middle-aged man stared at Li Weidong and then said, "I don't seem to know you, right?"

Li Weidong was also stunned. Tang Renjie had retired. He must be over forty years old. He couldn't be so young.

So Li Weidong added: "I want to find engineer Tang Renjie."

"Oh, so you're looking for my dad!" The middle-aged man nodded in realization, and then asked, "Why are you looking for my dad?"

"My name is Li Weidong, and I am the director of Qinghe Electrical Appliance Factory." Li Weidong said, taking out his business card, offering it with both hands, and then asked: "Is it convenient to go in and talk?"

The middle-aged man looked at the gift Li Weidong brought and nodded: "Okay, please come in!"

Then the middle-aged man turned around and shouted: "Dad, someone is looking for you!"

Li Weidong walked into the living room. Like most old houses, this living room is very small.

A man in his early sixties was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper. Li Weidong guessed that this man was Tang Renjie.

"Hello, Engineer Tang, my name is Li Weidong, the director of Qinghe Electrical Appliance Factory." Li Weidong introduced himself again.

"Please sit down!" Tang Renjie asked Li Weidong to sit down, and then asked straight to the point: "Director Li, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this. Our factory has just introduced a microwave oven production line from Japan, but there are still many technical difficulties that have not been solved. I heard that Tang Gong is an expert in this field, so I came here specially to ask you to help."

Li Weidong said directly.

"I used to make microwave transistors, and the principle is the same as that of microwave ovens." Tang Renjie nodded, and then asked, "If you have any technical difficulties, you might as well talk about it first, and I'll see if I can help you solve it.

"

"Tang Gong misunderstood. What I want is not just technical guidance. I want to set up a technical research and development team. I hope Tang Gong can preside over this team." Li Weidong said.

"Technology research and development! Then why don't we go to your Qinghe?" Tang Renjie shook his head: "I am old, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and my energy is not as good as that of young people. I can't travel far. You should do something else about this technology research and development team.

Please be wise!"

Tang Renjie was obviously unwilling to leave Shanghai.

Li Weidong was not surprised by this. It was impossible for normal people to leave Shanghai and go to a small place like Qinghe.

Li Weidong had no intention of placing his R&D base in Shanghai. To conduct scientific research in a small place, the disadvantages were too great.

If you really want to do research and development, you must either be in a big city or close to a big city, otherwise you won't even be able to recruit decent talents.

So Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "Tang Gong, if you are willing to go out, you don't have to go to Qinghe. I plan to place our R&D base in Shanghai."

"How many people do you have in your R&D base now?" Tang Renjie asked.

"To be honest, there is no one." Li Weidong continued: "But with you as the backbone, I believe that the R&D base will be built soon."

"In other words, we have to start from scratch!" Tang Renjie pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I have retired. I have worked hard all my life. I can finally take some time off and enjoy my happiness!"

Tang Renjie obviously doesn't want to be a cattle pioneer. After all, the work of a cattle pioneer is tiring and hard, and who knows who does it.

"Tang Gong, don't refuse in a hurry, first listen to the treatment we offer!" Li Weidong said, looked around, and then said: "Looking at the housing conditions here, it is quite tense. Let's do this,

If you work for me for five years, I will give you a house as a gift!"

"From Qinghe?" Tang Renjie asked.

"How could it be? Of course it's from Shanghai!" Li Weidong replied with a smile.

A house in Shanghai for five years does sound very attractive.

However, Tang Renjie seemed unmoved and asked, "Where is this house?"

"I don't know about this yet. I just came to Shanghai and I came to you before I had time to look at the house!" Li Weidong replied honestly.

"Haha! Director Li, you'd better go find out about the housing prices in Shanghai first, and then tell me about the house!" Tang Renjie smiled and shook his head, then picked up the teacup on the table and set out to serve tea.

Guest posture.

Li Weidong also understood that when the two parties met for the first time, it would be difficult for him to convince Tang Renjie with just his words.

So Li Weidong smiled slightly and said, "Tang Gong, let's get to know each other for the first time today, and then I'll talk to you after I prepare the house!"

Li Weidong said goodbye and left. Tang Renjie did not get up to see him off, but just asked his son to send Li Weidong to the door.

After sending Li Weidong away, Tang Renjie's son asked: "Dad, do you think this person is a liar?"

"One apartment in Shanghai in five years, what do you think?" Tang Renjie curled his lips.

"I think he is a liar. The housing prices in Shanghai are so high. An ordinary worker can buy one square meter in the city after working for one year. He just offered a house as a gift. If he is not a liar, he is nothing else!" Tang Renjie's son said.

.

"Maybe he's just a young guy who came here carelessly. He comes from a small place and doesn't know how deep the water in Shanghai is. He probably thinks that Shanghai is just like their small places, where ten thousand or twenty thousand is enough."

I can buy a house!" Tang Renjie said.

Tang Renjie's son picked up the gift brought by Li Weidong, and then said: "Whether he is a liar or a fool, these cigarettes and wine are here. Dad, I will have a drink with you later to see if this wine is real."

of!"

…

In a newly built community in downtown Shanghai, Cao Kenan was wiping off the TV with a dry rag.

"Dad, you've wiped it seven or eight times and it's pretty clean!" said his son Cao Yi.

"What do you know? Not only is your cousin coming from the other side this time, I heard that your cousin's sister and the whole family are also coming from Qinghe. They are all relatives. They are not allowed to come to our house then?"

Cao Kenan paused and then said, "Qinghe is a poor place. I guess the sister's family must have never seen much of the world. Maybe they don't even have a color TV at home. When the time comes, let's put this 21-inch color TV together."

Come on, it’s so honorable!”

In 1991, 21-inch large color TVs were the highest specification household appliances. They might not be sold in smaller cities, and you had to go to big cities to buy them.

Cao Yi said: "Dad, I'm thinking that my sister's house must have a color TV. Think about it, last time my cousin came back to visit relatives, he would have given his sister a few hundred dollars. If she exchanged it for foreign exchange vouchers, what?

Can’t buy anything? How can I live without a color TV?”

"Even if there is a color TV, it is impossible to have a 21-inch one like ours!" Cao Kenan paused and then said: "Please clean your motorcycle and put it in the most conspicuous position."

This Cao Kenan is the engineer cousin of Li Weidong's aunt Su Qian.

The state-owned enterprise where Cao Kenan worked was very profitable. As an engineer, Cao Kenan's salary was much higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, in Shanghai, Cao Kenan's family was definitely a high-income group.

Cao Kenan's son, Cao Yi, has made tens of thousands of yuan by selling treasury bonds in the past two years. Coupled with Cao Kenan's original savings, the family bought a 100-square-meter commercial house in a newly built community, which was considered a solution.

the housing problem.

At that time, there was no term for public housing in commercial housing. 100 square meters was 100 square meters. In terms of usable area, it was larger than the current 120 square meters of high-rise buildings.

Now Cao Kenan's family has just moved into a new house with all the appliances and furniture. He plans to entertain his cousin from the other side of the river in the new house, which also shows that the more he mixes, the better.

And when he learned that his sister-in-law and her family had also come to Shanghai, Cao Kenan's desire to show off was even more ready to move.

If the in-laws came from a big city, Cao Kenan might be more calm. After all, they are all cities of the same level, so even if there is a difference, it won't be too big.

But his in-laws came from a poor place like Qinghe, so Cao Kenan had to show off his sense of superiority!

I'm from a big city. If I don't show off my sense of superiority, how can I show the value of a big city household registration?
