Silly Zhu had arrived at Li Donglai's house at this time.
He told what had just happened in full.
"Brother Donglai, you don't know how ugly it must have been to pretend to have a face that suits Qin Huairu."
Even if Silly Zhu didn't say it, Li Donglai could completely imagine it.
That was a bride price of more than two hundred yuan, which was equivalent to cutting off a big piece of fat from the Jia family.
As for the Jia family's threat not to marry Xiaodang into the third uncle's family, Li Donglai was not worried at all.
The reason is very simple. Compared with other families, the third uncle’s family is actually pretty good.
Especially Xiaodang is still a stubborn girl.
She will not be at the mercy of her parents and Qin Huairu.
However, Li Donglai's energy is not currently focused on this.
because.
Someone is coming to the Big Brother house.
This matter has to start with the electric bicycle developed by Li Donglai.
In Li Donglai's plan, the sales scope of electric bicycles is mainly domestic and European and American markets, and Big Brother's family is not considered.
After all, Big Brother's life is not easy right now.
in addition.
It's freezing cold in Big Brother's house, and the temperature is below zero all year round. The endurance of the electric bicycle will be greatly reduced.
You can run fifty or sixty miles here, but when you go to Big Brother's house, you can probably run thirty or forty miles.
The reduction in endurance will make electric bicycles impractical at all.
But Li Donglai still underestimated the appeal of electric bicycles.
The Big Brother family has relatively frequent exchanges with Europe and the United States.
The children of those in high positions yearn for life in Europe and the United States.
Otherwise, sportswear such as Adidas would not become standard equipment for those people.
After seeing young people from Europe and the United States riding electric bicycles and looking very handsome, they suddenly became interested.
Although they have little ability, their parents are very capable.
So he asked their fathers to inquire about electric bicycles everywhere.
Those parents originally thought that they would have to pay high prices to purchase electric bicycles from European and American countries.
But they found Chinese signs on the electric bicycles.
Later, when I inquired more carefully, I discovered that this thing was actually made by the little brother next door.
They immediately became energetic.
It's cheaper to buy things with the little brother next door than with those in Europe and America who help vampires.
So a purchasing group was organized to come to the steel rolling mill laboratory to purchase a batch of specially made electric bicycles.
Why should it be specially made?
The reason is even simpler, because the battery life is too poor, so they need to increase the battery capacity.
Of course Li Donglai doesn't care about these problems, as long as they can afford the money.
You can let the laboratory convert electric bicycles into electric cars.
When Li Donglai rode his electric bicycle to the laboratory of the steelmaking factory early in the morning.
Zhang Qingcui has been waiting outside for a long time.
Seeing Li Donglai approaching, she quickly walked up and handed a document to Li Donglai and said: "Director Li, this is the list of today's guests. The superiors specifically warned that the identities of these people are not simple. Let us treat it with caution.
.”
Li Donglai took it and took a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened.
What interested him was not the high-status guests, but that two of them turned out to be researchers at the institute.
Of course, these two people are not ordinary researchers, but hold the position of deputy director.
As we all know, the main work force in Lao Maozi's research institute is the deputy director.
The director is responsible for human relations and logistics supply issues.
The deputy director is generally held concurrently by a researcher.
The old man named Nikolai is an expert in weapons research.
The other one is amazing.
His name is Serev.
He is an aircraft designer.
After seeing the names of these two people, Li Donglai's eyes suddenly lit up.
He is worried about the next project in the laboratory.
These two people walked to the door.
Now the steel rolling mill laboratory has a variety of best-selling drugs, as well as electric bicycles, which are best-selling products at home and abroad.
There is no need to worry about the source of funds anymore.
In Li Donglai's plan, the laboratory's next project is to enter the military industry.
It's a pity that in his previous life, Li Donglai knew a little bit about military equipment, but he was still considered a layman.
At this time, it is necessary to invite some main experts.
It's just that the rolling mill laboratory has a great reputation.
But after all, it is not a specialized research institute. Even if we spend money, we can't recruit people in China.
Thinking about Li Donglai, he entered the conference room.
The content of the meeting was actually very simple, that is, Lao Maozi wanted to purchase a batch of electric bicycles.
Li Donglai gave a very reasonable price, and then those old guys left with a happy mood.
Serev is no exception.
The only reason why he joined this expert group was to relax.
Recently, within their institute, due to lack of research funds and lack of interest in what he was researching, they suspended him.
Although Serev still receives a salary from the institute every month, it is almost like being unemployed.
After Serev returned to the hotel with the expert group, he participated in two more activities. He was exhausted and returned to the hotel again.
This time, as soon as he opened the hotel door, he saw a young man sitting on a chair and looking at him with a smile.
"Comrade Serev, I want to build something. I wonder if you are interested."
Two hours later, Li Donglai left the hotel with a smile on his face.
Serev took out a piece of paper from the drawer and wrote a resignation letter in Russian.
The same situation happened in Nikolai's room.
Although Nikolai and Serev are Lao Maozi's experts, in this day and age, what Lao Maozi is most lacking in the country are not experts.
And their research does not involve any confidential content.
Therefore, after receiving their resignation letters, Lao Maozi's Domestic Research Institute readily agreed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, Li Donglai gained two more scientific research talents.
Half a month later.
The first batch of electric bicycles sold to Laomaozi have been produced.
Because these electric bicycles are equipped with two extra batteries, the price is as high as 5,000 yuan.
That's right.
All sales of electric bicycles are priced in RMB.
That is to say, whether it is Europe, America, Africa, or Lao Maozi.
Those who want to buy an electric bike must convert their currency into our currency.
This can be regarded as Li Donglai's modest contribution to the internationalization of currency.
As for Serev and Nikolai, Li Donglai did not immediately arrange work for them after they joined the laboratory.
Instead, let the two of them choose their research direction according to their own hobbies.
Although it was the first time for Serev and Nikolai to encounter such a thing, they both agreed after hesitating for a moment.
Zhang Qingcui knew what Li Donglai was thinking.
But she felt a little strange when she saw that the two old experts hired by the laboratory at a high price were getting paid in vain every month but did nothing.
"Director Li, we invited these two old experts, are we not here to support them in their retirement?"
"Don't worry, I have great use for these two, but the time is not right now. You will understand when the time comes." Li Donglai said with a smile.
If it were someone else who said this, Zhang Qingcui would definitely think that person was being mysterious, but Li Donglai always had his own reasons for doing things.
Zhang Qingcui felt that Li Donglai must have a huge plan.
But now she can only be patient and wait slowly.
Because she knew Li Donglai very well. If he was not completely sure of his plan, no one would be able to figure it out.
Li Donglai has returned to the office and started preparing for the next project.
At this time, there was another quarrel in the Jia family in the courtyard.
It has been half a month since the last conference.
Although Qin Huairu promised Silly Zhu, Yan Jiefang could marry Xiaodang for only five yuan.
But when the third uncle sent the five yuan to Jia's house, Qin Huairu put forward another condition.
In Qin Huairu's view, Xiaodang is the younger sister and Banggeng is the elder brother. According to the old rules, the younger sister cannot get married until the older brother is married.
Therefore, Xiaodang cannot marry Lian Jiefang for the time being.
But Qin Huairu is also a very reasonable person and a kind-hearted person.
She couldn't bear to see Yan Jiefang and Xiao Dang, a pair of miserable mandarin ducks, unable to stay together.
So he came up with a good idea.
That is the third uncle's family, who must buy Banggeng a wedding set of things.
Specific items include radio bicycles, sewing machines, televisions, electric bicycles, and ten quilts.
This way.
Once you meet the right person, you can get married at any time.
This would not be considered a violation of the old rules.
Although what Qin Huairu said was correct, to the third uncle's ears, it meant money, money, and money.
He calculated in his mind that the items Qin Huairu wanted would cost more than a thousand yuan in total.
Now he can't even come up with more than two hundred yuan as a bride price, let alone something worth more than a thousand yuan.
"Qin Huairu. Silly Zhu has already said that we cannot ask for high betrothal gifts in our compound, but you actually want so much. Are you embarrassed?"
"Oh, my third uncle. The bride price is a gift, and these things are things. I didn't ask you for the gift, right? You tell me!" Qin Huairu sat on the chair and looked at the third uncle coldly.
The third uncle felt like he had been taken advantage of.
"Qin Huairu, if you talk about the two children like this, then wait a little longer."
After speaking, the third uncle left Jia's house angrily.
After returning home, he had been waiting for the smoke in the house to be released, and asked: "Dad, how are things going? When will I get married to Xiaodang!"
"Wait ten years!" the third uncle said angrily.
"What do you mean by waiting ten years?" Yan Jiefang looked confused.
The third uncle said: "Qin Huairu asked for a lot of things from our family again. I have just calculated it. To buy all those things, it will require at least ten years of your salary. So if you want to marry Xiaodang, you will also need
Ten years’ time.”
Hearing this, Yan Jiefang wanted to cry without tears.
He is just pursuing love, how can it be so difficult?
Xiaodang, who returned home at this time, also knew the truth of the matter.
She shouted at Qin Huairu: "Mom, you want so many things from the third uncle's family, aren't you selling your daughter? If the street office finds out, they will definitely criticize you again."
Qin Huairu sneered: "Xiaodang, I worked hard to support you, so what if I want a little more? Besides, your brother is not married yet. What's the matter of preparing something for your brother."
At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang also came out and blamed Xiaodang: "Xiaodang, you silly boy. Have you forgotten what grandma told you? You will get married once in your life, and you only have one chance. If
If you don't take advantage of it, you will never have another chance after you get married."
"We are thinking about you and thinking about you!"
Xiaodang rolled his eyes and said: "You really think I am a three-year-old child! You have done so many things, but you are all thinking about my brother! Well, since you don't care about me, I stay in this home,
What more energy is there?"
After speaking, Xiaodang rushed into the house and simply packed a few things.
Because she usually doesn't have many things, and she lives in a dormitory in a textile factory, so she has very few things at home.
It only took three to five minutes for Xiaodang to pack his things and rush out of Jia's house.
Qin Huairu waited until Xiaodang disappeared at the door before reacting.
"Xiao Dang, this damn girl is going to elope with someone!"
"Quick, quick, stop Xiaodang!"
Qin Huairu ran towards the door after saying this.
Normally lying in bed too lazy to move, Jia Zhang jumped out now.
Just kidding, Xiaodang is a hot commodity now.
He was still waiting for someone else to give him money in exchange for this piece of cake. If the piece of cake ran away with someone, everything would be over.
Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran to the door.
But it was too late by this time, Xiaodang had already run to the front yard.
Qin Huairu stamped her feet anxiously.
"Oh, this damn girl, how did this happen? It's not like we can't discuss it. We're all one family."
Qin Huairu looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang and said, "It's all your fault for coming up with such a naughty idea. Now it's okay. Xiaodang has run away, and we've all been beaten."
"Where can she run? She hasn't reached the third uncle's house yet. She belongs to our family. Come with me and go to the third uncle's house to snatch her back." Jia Zhang said with wide eyes.
BangGeng was sleeping in the house, but he woke up when he heard these words.
When he learned that Xiaodang ran away and that the furniture he used to marry his wife was unaccounted for, Banggeng became furious.
"This damn girl, I am his brother. Can't she be considerate and considerate of him? No, we can't leave like this. I'll go with you to the third uncle's house to ask for someone."
Xiao Huaihua and his wife were also in the house, but they looked at each other without saying a word.
Anyway, the things they blackmailed from the third uncle's house in Xiaodang's name could not fall into their hands, so why should they bother.
Seeing that the three of them had left, Xiao Huaihua patted her clothes, stood up and said, "No one will be cooking tonight, so let's not eat at home. I heard that there is a new one at the front door.
We went to a restaurant and the food tasted good. Come on, let’s go to a restaurant.”
With the 100 yuan that Jia and Zhang paid to them a while ago, Xiaohuaihua and his wife are now living a very comfortable life.
