In order to make it easier for him to communicate with Xiaowanzi and Tieban, Meng Xiaobai specially changed his residence. He spent millions to buy a single-family villa.
It's not luxurious, but it's quieter and no irrelevant people will disturb it.
"Tie Ban, are you still adapting to life on earth during this time?" Meng Xiaobai asked while lying on the sofa.
"Sir, it's not bad here." Iron Ban turned into an anthropomorphic form and sat on the ground carefully.
In order for him to move around the villa, Meng Xiaobai replaced the floors with hard marble and removed some unnecessary walls.
"I promised you before that you could have a place for your own research, and now we can slowly implement it." Meng Xiaobai said, "Now that funds are limited, large-scale research bases are not realistic, but small research laboratories are fine."
"That's great!" Tie Ban said excitedly, "I want some tools and equipment to start a little research."
"Let's do this." Meng Xiaobai said, "You tell Xiaowanzi what you need, and then I will arrange for someone to buy it. Well, the garage and warehouse can be used by you."
The garage and warehouse area of this villa are quite large, which is enough for a small research laboratory.
"Thank you, sir!" Iron Man said after thanking him, he went to the warehouse to prepare his own renovation plan.
Seeing that it had to deform its body and lower its height to move, Meng Xiaobai sighed: "This room is still too small."
"I think it's more than just a research base. I'll have my own big manor in the future... Maybe it would be good to have my own private island?"
He imagined that if he could have a private island in the future, wouldn't it be much more convenient to research black technology?
"I need more capital and stronger strength." Meng Xiaobai pondered the next stage of development. According to the company's current conditions, developing software technology is undoubtedly the most reliable.
But in recent times, the company has been developing too fast, and the employees and management have been unable to keep up. They often make mistakes and it will take some time to stabilize.
"Perhaps, I should develop other directions." Meng Xiaobai heard the sound of iron plates being tossed in the warehouse and showed a thoughtful expression.
If you want to become a powerful technology giant, you can't just rely on software. Hard power is also very important. For example, if you want to develop smart technology, you are limited by hardware performance and can only make some low-level smart software.
If the hardware keeps up, let alone intelligent software, we can even try to create truly intelligent robots!
Improving hard power is inseparable from industrial manufacturing.
…
"Mom, it's really no problem! Just feel free to use it!" Meng Xiaobai explained to her mother Tang Biyun on the phone, "I earned all this money!"
In the past few months, he has successively given nearly one million yuan to his family, which he used for his parents' expenses. Meng Xiaobai didn't even have time to go home after being away for so long.
"Isn't this too much? We can't use so much!" Tang Biyun said with a bit of disbelief in his tone, "Your company really made so much money? Your uncle and his children also started a company, and they only made money in one year.
Seven or eight hundred thousand, you gave us one million!"
"Mom, didn't I say that?" Meng Xiaobai said tirelessly, "I am an Internet company, which makes more money than traditional industries! Let alone millions, making tens of millions or hundreds of millions in a year is not a problem!
"
"You're just bragging, don't be too arrogant! Be down-to-earth!" Tang Biyun still didn't believe it, she said: "Okay, we will save the money for you first, and then tell your family when you want to use it, by the way, when
Come back?"
"Let's celebrate the Chinese New Year. I probably won't have time before the new year. There are too many things going on in the company! It's my first time to start a business and I have a lot to learn." Meng Xiaobai replied.
"Well, I need to learn more! Your dad has something to tell you." Tang Biyun handed the phone to Meng Xiaobai's father, Meng Lei.
"Hey, son." Meng Lei said, "Didn't you say you want to learn about manufacturing? Dad asked you, your uncle has set up a factory in Suzhou for more than ten years. He is doing quite well.
, you can learn something from him."
Meng Xiaobai didn't expect that his father was talking about this. He just mentioned casually when chatting with his family that he was learning about the manufacturing industry recently. Unexpectedly, his father paid special attention to it.
"Which clan uncle are you?" Meng Xiaobai asked. He was having a headache recently. He was completely unfamiliar with this industry. He wanted to know more about it, but he was worried that no one was there!
"Meng Jianzhang!" Meng Lei reminded, "When we built the family ancestral hall of the Meng family in our county, we donated five million!"
"That Uncle Meng!" Meng Xiaobai remembered that when he went to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices during the Qingming Festival, there was a stele outside the ancestral hall with Meng Jianzhang's name written on it.
At that time, Meng Lei also taught him that he would become a promising person like Meng Jianzhang in the future.
"Your clan uncle is very generous and often helps relatives and friends. I will give you his contact information so you can get to know him." Meng Lei said.
"Okay, let me take a look." Meng Xiaobai agreed.
Meng Lei quickly sent the phone number to Meng Xiaobai, and Meng Xiaobai tried to dial.
Soon, a voice came from over there, which was quite old and hoarse: "Hello, I am Meng Jianzhang, who are you?"
"Uncle, I am Meng Xiaobai, and my father is Meng Lei. He asked me to learn from you." Meng Xiaobai said politely.
"Oh, he's Meng Lei's son." Meng Jianzhang agreed, "Okay, where are you? Come directly to my factory and I will make arrangements."
Gusu City, a famous historical city in China, a high-tech base, and one of the important cities in the Yangtze River Delta.
This place not only has a long history, but also has a developed manufacturing industry with many manufacturing companies. The "Siben Electronics Factory" founded by Meng Jianzhang is located in the industrial zone of Suzhou City. It is an old factory that has been established for fifteen years.
In the factory director's office, 50-year-old Meng Jianzhang put down the phone and frowned.
He was wearing a dark blue factory uniform and dressed simply. He didn't look like a factory manager, but an old technical worker.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" asked a tall, thin man next to him who was about the same age as him. This was Xu Ping, Meng Jianzhang's partner and the deputy director of the factory.
"It's nothing. A relative's child is coming, so I asked him to come over." Meng Jianzhang said casually.
Hearing this, Xu Ping was a little unhappy and said: "The factory is no longer what it used to be, and there are layoffs again. It is not good to let him come here at this time."
"I also know that the children of relatives can help a little bit." Meng Jianzhang sighed, "Besides, the factory has not closed down yet!"
"I think it won't be long." Xu Ping shook his head, not in a high mood.
"What did Boss Yu say?" Meng Jianzhang asked.
"It's not about lowering the price!" Xu Ping said, "This guy named Yu is very cunning. He knew that we couldn't do anything, so he kept lowering the price, and the price was lowered to 20 million!"
"Twenty million?" Meng Jianzhang was angry, "The equipment in my factory is not even worth 20 million!"
"There is no way, they don't want our equipment!" Xu Ping said, "He just wants to take the land!"
Meng Jianzhang was silent for a few seconds and said, "Let's talk some more. Invite him to the factory and I'll talk to him."
