Seeing Lin Xiaoguang shivering, the other students in the classroom started laughing.
Robert glanced around and told him to go back and sit down. After he sat down, he spoke again: "I just talked about the wedding, which reminded me of a comic opera by Beaumarchais and Mozart, "The Marriage of Figaro." You guys
After going back, write a paper, using character development, irony art, dramatic conflict, comedy techniques, musical style, and choose an angle to discuss."
"Leave it to me before class next week, okay?"
The students were dumbfounded and had to nod in agreement. When they turned around, they glared at Lin Xiaoguang. It's all your fault. Why did you go to a wedding? Are you okay now?
The latter touched his nose, somewhat innocently.
A few days later, at noon, when several people were eating in Qiyuan dormitory, Lin Xiaozheng hurriedly came in from outside, quickly turned on the TV, switched to Jade Channel, then sat down on the sofa, and said to several people: "Do you know?
?Shuttle Columbia, this is a first for mankind."
Color TV is showing news footage.
The voiceover explains: "On April 12, in the United States, millions of people gathered at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral to watch the launch of Columbia, the first space shuttle. Astronauts John Young and Crippin unveiled the
A new page in the history of spaceflight has opened."
Lin Xiaozheng was very excited, spreading his hands and gesturing: "After ten years of research and development, Columbia has finally been successfully built."
"This shuttle has a total length of about 56 meters, a wingspan of about 24 meters, a take-off weight of about 2,040 tons, a total take-off thrust of 2,800 tons, and a maximum payload of 29.5 tons. It can carry up to 8 astronauts per flight and has a flight time of 7
Up to 30 days, it can be reused 100 times.”
"This is only its first flight test, which mainly tests its orbital flight and landing capabilities. It will fly in space for 54 hours and orbit the earth for 36 times before the space shuttle lands safely."
"Oh my god, it's unprecedented. It's unique."
Daniel seemed to have no sense of national honor and was not very concerned about it. Instead, he asked: "Shuttle? What is that? It sounds like both a rocket and a satellite? How high can it fly? Tens of thousands of meters?"
Lin Xiaozheng was so angry that he was stunned.
He Yaowen took the newspaper away and replied: "Daniel, you are out. The shuttle is flying in low-Earth orbit, with a maximum flight altitude of 345,000 meters. Even an administrator like me knows more than you. You are a civil engineering engineer."
You’re a bit ignorant!”
The latter shrugged: "The human brain is limited. If you put too many irrelevant things in it, it will explode. I never put anything irrelevant to my major in my mind."
"Xiaoguang, what are you thinking about?" Lin Xiaozheng asked in Mandarin.
"I was thinking, this shuttle is not reliable. Please don't let an accident like this happen. Otherwise, if the machine is small and the astronauts inside lose their lives, it will be a human tragedy." Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but think of the Columbia aircraft in 2003.
The crash incident.
"It shouldn't happen, right?" Lin Xiaozheng is very confident in the aerospace capabilities of the United States.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Columbia's first flight test has caused quite a stir, especially on the campus of the University of Hong Kong. As a well-known Hong Kong university in science and engineering, many non-science and engineering students are paying attention to this matter.
Even Wen Yongen, a girl studying business administration, knew about it, not to mention Lin Xiaozheng, who paid attention to this matter every day.
He seemed to be possessed. He came back from school immediately after class every day, ran back to his dormitory and turned on the TV to watch the news, searching for any information about the Columbia.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't pay much attention to it because he had more important things to do.
The MSK fast food plan was officially implemented, and Ou Bingde was responsible for it. Within a few days, the location of the store was determined, and the rental price was negotiated with the store seller. Afterwards, the decoration company found completed the design plan and passed the review, and the construction team of the decoration company entered the site.
It is currently under renovation.
It will take about a month to open.
On Monday, the first day of late April, good news came from the sales department.
After two weeks of final negotiations and three months of long-term contact, Qinhuai Food and Beverage reached a cooperation agreement with PARKnSHOP Supermarket. Qinhuai Food and Beverage's products will be stationed in PARKnSHOP and a partnership was established at the same time.
The two parties met in secret and signed a cooperation agreement in the conference room of PARKnSHOP headquarters, which was not made public.
Like the cooperation with Huarun Wanjia, the sales price of PARKnSHOP supermarkets is 1.5 times the factory wholesale price of Qinhuai Food and Beverage's products. PARKnSHOP has 0.5 times the profit margin, while Qinhuai Food and Beverage occupies 1 times the profit margin including costs.
Profit is considered revenue.
In addition to the wholesale price and sales price, both parties have also made strict regulations in terms of payment delivery. The full payment will be paid on the 1st of each month without default. If there is any violation, 5% of the liquidated damages will be increased if the payment is not defaulted for one day.
PARKnSHOP has made huge concessions, and Qinhuai Food and Beverage has also made compensation in other aspects. For example, both parties will focus on cooperation in advertising and promotion.
This is naturally aimed at friends and business colleagues, and is not enough for outsiders.
After the final terms of the cooperation agreement were signed, Ou Bingde reported it, and Lin Xiaoguang looked at the terms and reviewed them one by one to make sure there were no omissions before approving the operation.
"Just do it."
Starting from the next day, PARKnSHOP distribution employees went to the Tsuen Wan factory to pick up the goods. After the products arrived at the supermarket's warehouse, they were ready to be put on the shelves for sale.
As for the Qinhuai Food and Beverage Advertising Department, after a few days of preparation, the new TV commercial was completed and started to be broadcast on TVB. At the same time, as for PARKnSHOP Supermarket, a more powerful promotional campaign than before began to be implemented.
In this way, Qinhuai Food and Beverage's products met the customers of PARKnSHOP Supermarket.
The first time Luo Yaoguo found out about this, he was furious and immediately sent someone to call Ou Bingde of Qinhuai Food and Drinking Company to question him face to face.
When he saw someone in the reception room, he had to put on a smiling expression, made a pot of tea, and asked: "Manager Ou, your company is a strategic partner with us after all. This time you and PARKnSHOP
The supermarket cooperated but did not notify us in advance. Isn't this unethical?"
Ou Bingde noticed that the visitor was not malicious and immediately expressed his bitterness: "Director Luo, there is nothing we can do. Parknshop Supermarket will not let the matter of cooperation be announced to the outside world."
Luo Yaoguo's face darkened and he continued to ask: "Manager Ou, you and I are strategic partners. Is it against business ethics for you to cooperate with our competitors this time?"
"Director Luo, we have no choice. Your company proposed to use raw materials to offset the payment, and the payment we received dropped significantly. The company invested in building a large factory in Shenzhen. That little money alone is not enough, so we can only continue to expand externally.
market, and this time it is PARKnSHOP who has taken the initiative to approach us. If we continue not to cooperate, I will become a mortal enemy of PARKnSHOP in the future."
Ou Bingde kept his posture very low and said pitifully: "Behind you is Hua Run, you have nothing to fear. Behind PARKnSHOP is Watsons, and behind Watsons is Cheung Kong Industries. We can't afford to offend you."
Luo Yaoguo's face froze, and he felt really annoyed.
The company's finance department proposed using raw materials to offset the payment for goods, but he couldn't do anything about it. The finance department acted in accordance with the regulations, but Qinhuai Food and Beverage agreed to it, but why did he bring it up again now?
"Didn't your company agree to offset the payment for goods with raw materials?"
"Yes, I agreed. However, for the agreed loan, the Bank of China only promised 12 million Hong Kong dollars for the 15 million Hong Kong dollars we proposed. It has been so long and there is no result. We really can't wait any longer.
