"What, you want to leave Beijing for two months and ask me to cover you? Are you kidding me?"
In the data room, Yang Kai looked at Gao Fan standing in front of him and shook his head like a rattle.
"I feel there is no value in staying in school. I want to do something valuable."
Gao Fan said to Yang Kai with a calm expression on his face.
"What valuable thing? Go back and renovate your outdated ammonium bicarbonate production equipment?" Yang Kai asked disdainfully.
Gao Fan had previously told him about the ammonium-to-urine conversion program at the Canghai Fertilizer Plant, and boasted that he had played an important role in it. Yang Kai did not doubt that Gao Fan had such ability, he just felt that Gao Fan had used his
It's a pity to use your intelligence on such low-end things.
Gao Fan said: "I will definitely be involved in that matter. However, I am leaving Beijing now not for this matter. I want to do something big."
"What's the big deal?"
“Midas turns stone into gold.”
"You want to get synthetic diamonds?"
"..." Gao Fan said with a black line, "Senior brother, don't you have any literary talent? What I said is just a metaphor, okay? Do you understand the metaphor?"
Yang Kai said disdainfully: "It's obvious that you have no literary skills. Isn't turning stone into gold just a matter of turning some graphite into diamond? Are you planning to turn graphite into gold?"
"Let's put it this way, I will give you an ibm_pc, do you want it?" Gao Fan asked.
"What do you mean!" Yang Kai's eyes lit up.
Gao Fan said: "It means literally. You cover for me, and within two months at most, I will give you a new ibm_pc."
"Have you seen an ibm_pc? Do you know how much a brand new ibm_pc costs?" Yang Kai asked.
Gao Fan said: "I've never seen one. However, a brand new ibm_pc should cost about US$3,000."
"It's 3,648 U.S. dollars." Yang Kai corrected, "equivalent to nearly 7,000 yuan in RMB. With my salary, without food or drink, it would take me 12 years to save money to afford one, and I also had to find a way to get foreign exchange.
That’s all.”
"Brother, have you really thought about buying one?" Gao Fan looked at Yang Kai and asked curiously.
Yang Kai sighed and said: "I can even dream about it, but I can only dare to dream about it."
Gao Fan smiled and said: "That's it, I'll leave the words here. I'll come back to take the final exam in two months. During this time, you can help me cover up and don't let Grandma Zheng find out that I'm not in school. When I come back
, how about bringing you an ibm_pc as a New Year gift?"
"Are you kidding?" Yang Kai started to get serious.
Gao Fan said this matter twice, so it didn't look like a joke. After all, telling a joke that is not funny twice is a very bad thing, and Gao Fan is not like that.
Gao Fan said with a playful smile: "Of course I'm not joking. I have never been so serious as now."
"What on earth are you going to do?" Yang Kai asked.
"I said that before I went to college, I opened a factory with others. Do you believe it?" Gao Fan asked.
Yang Kai thought for a while, nodded and said, "I can believe it."
"This factory is currently performing well and will have a profit of no less than 100,000 yuan by the end of the year." Gao Fan said. This number is seriously shrunk. He is afraid that telling the real number will frighten Yang Kai, and he is also afraid that
It will bring hatred to yourself.
"What's your share?" Yang Kai went straight to the point.
"50%."
"50%! In other words, you can get a dividend of no less than 50,000 yuan before the end of the year!"
Gao Fan nodded and acknowledged.
"My dear!" Yang Kai clucked his tongue. He did not doubt what Gao Fan said at all. After all, Gao Fan had no need to make up such a lie in front of him.
Yang Kai didn't know how long it took for the profits Gao Fan mentioned to be created, but even if it was a year's profit, this figure was enough to shock people.
This is an era when the average monthly salary is only 40 to 50 yuan. A 16-year-old like Gao Fan can actually earn 50,000 yuan. What does this mean?
The current national policy is to encourage some people to get rich first, and the media often publicizes a household worth 10,000 yuan in a certain place. But this kind of household with 10,000 yuan actually only has an annual income of more than 10,000 yuan. After deducting various expenses, it can eventually have
A net income of three to five thousand is pretty good.
Moreover, a household worth 10,000 yuan is calculated on a household basis. If a family has four or five workers, the amount of money each person can earn is actually very limited.
But Gao Fan is different. From what he means, it seems that this factory was opened by himself in cooperation with others and has nothing to do with his family. This means that he earned the money himself.
"Actually, there is no secret." Gao Fan said, "My friend is from the coastal area of Shuinan, and I gave him a formula for antifouling paint for fishing boat shells. He produced the paint and sold it to the fishing brigades, which basically
Half the profit."
"Antifouling paint? I think it should be a latex copolymer with a low gel point, plus a paint mixed with a metal compound that is insoluble in water but can react with seawater. The metal compound is usually
As cuprous oxide, you can also use cuprous thiocyanate, mercury oxide, zinc chloride..." Yang Kai is full of treasures.
When the Navy was developing antifouling coatings for ships, it invited experts from the Department of Chemistry of Peking University to participate. The data room of the Department of Chemistry has some technical information left at that time. Yang Kai is also a genius with the potential of a humanoid database. He has seen these
After reading the information, I memorized a lot of it, and now it was time to speak it out to show off to Gao Fan.
Gao Fan nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. The kind of paint we make is used on fishing boats. The performance requirements are not that high. The main advantage is that it is cheap. I proposed the formula, and my friend is responsible for it.
Production."
"Amazing, smart." Yang Kai praised.
If the performance requirements are not high and only low cost is required, Yang Kai thinks that he can come up with a usable formula with a little research, but he does not have the business acumen of Gao Fan and has never thought about using this formula to make money.
Now that I think about it, such a formula should indeed be able to make some money, even if it is not 50,000 a year, ten or twenty thousand is always possible.
"I want to put more energy into making the factory bigger. I think this is more valuable than staying in school doing nothing," Gao Fan said.
Yang Kai frowned and said: "Gao Fan, logically speaking, you want to make money, and if you make such a large amount of money, I can't advise you to give up.
"However, I think you can now have an income of 50,000 yuan a year, which is enough to live on. I believe you are not a person who pursues enjoyment.
"You have such a great talent. No matter what kind of research you do, you will definitely be able to produce good results. Isn't it too wasteful for you to spend all your energy on making money now?"
