Chapter 386 Zhou Tao returns to China (4000+ chapters~)
Li Lianjie has not come to Yanjing yet, but Zhou Tao and his wife have returned to Yanjing.
After studying in the United States for two years, the two finally completed their studies. Don't think that this kind of thing only takes two years. In fact, for Zhou Tao, it has been several years.
A few years ago, when he was working outside with Wu Jianye, he had already used his usual time to study in advance. When he had some money, he found a local college student in Shanghai and started systematic study. Because of Zhou Tao's foundation
He was too weak and was even reprimanded by college students.
There is no way, college students in this era are still very proud, and Zhou Tao behaves very respectfully in front of them. According to Zhou Tao, they are all their own teachers, and students should respect their teachers.
But after graduation, the student who scolded Zhou Tao, amidst the nationwide craze for going overseas, came to his senses and wanted to borrow some money from Zhou Tao, his former student, to use as start-up capital, but he was directly rejected by Zhou Tao.
.
Zhou Tao's statement is also very simple. When I take your class, I should respect you, but after the class, I also gave you the money, and we have nothing to do with each other. Since you think you are awesome, then that's fine.
, go and make your own way.
Of course, this is just an individual teacher. The other students who are responsible for teaching Zhou Tao have always performed very well. After graduation, Zhou Tao helped complete whatever ideas he had.
It was precisely because of this experience that Zhou Tao later went to the United States to study and gained a good foundation.
"Damn it, we're so exhausted from flying."
Zhou Tao, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, was sitting behind a jeep, tugging on his tie and couldn't help but complain.
Sitting next to him was Sun Qing. Sun Qing did not simply follow Zhou Tao to take care of his life in the United States, but studied with Zhou Tao. It is said...
Sun Qing's grades are even better than Zhou Tao's.
This moment made Zhou Tao very depressed, because he found that his wife was crushing him in all aspects.
"How is Linlin's situation now?" Sun Qing rolled her eyes at Zhou Tao, and then asked Wu Jianye who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"The baby will be born in two months." Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zhu's due date is at the end of July or early August. Now the courtyard has entered a state of alert. Wu Jianye even invited doctors and nurses to live in the courtyard to worry about emergencies.
Anyway, there are many houses in the courtyard, so there is no need to worry about running out of space.
"I thought you had to be sent to Xiangjiang to give birth!" Sun Qing said.
Now Zhou Tao's son and daughter have been sent to Xiangjiang. The eldest son has been sent to kindergarten. It is the best kindergarten in Xiangjiang. The tuition fee for a year is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Let's talk about this kind of thing later. We don't lack that Hong Kong passport either!"
Sun Qing said with some dissatisfaction: "How can you be so casual about your children? No matter what, the education in Xiangjiang is better than that in China."
Wu Jianye said helplessly: "It's definitely not casual, but the child's grandmother and grandparents are all here now. Believe it or not, if I dare to send him to Xiangjiang, those three old people can fight for me!
"
"Besides, I actually don't want my child to go to Xiangjiang so early and let him be born in China. He will be tainted with the atmosphere in China first. As for waiting until he is old enough to go to school, let's talk about it!"
Zhou Tao helped by saying, "That's right, if Old Wu wants to send it over, it won't be a matter of minutes. There's nothing to worry about!"
Sun Qing nodded, agreeing with what they both said, but still felt that Zhou Tao was not on her side, and glared at Zhou Tao again.
Then Zhou Tao withered...
Because she knew that Zhou Tao and his wife were coming, my mother had already prepared meals for them. So when Wu Jianye and others returned to the courtyard, the family had already prepared meals in the yard.
Although there is a special restaurant in the courtyard.
But everyone still likes to eat in the courtyard, especially now that the weather is neither cold nor hot, a group of people gather around the middle of the courtyard to eat, which makes it even more lively.
"Mom, uncle, aunt!" After seeing my mother and Zhu's parents, Zhou Tao and Sun Qing called them one by one obediently.
The old lady said with a smile: "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
Zhou Tao smiled and said, "Okay, ma'am, you don't know, these two years abroad have made me crave the steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables at home!"
"Eat more if you want!" I smiled and patted Zhou Tao on the shoulder. Zhou Tao and Wu Jianye grew up together, so naturally I like Zhou Tao very much.
"Okay!" Zhou Tao and Sun Qing said with smiles.
"It's still more comfortable to eat with chopsticks!" Zhou Tao said while sitting at the dinner table, devouring his food.
Sun Qing said dissatisfied, "I also said that when we were in the United States, people either used knives and forks to eat pizza, or they ate it with their hands. But you actually ate it with chopsticks, which made me give up in the restaurant like you.
People pay attention."
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "What else is there?"
Zhou Tao said dissatisfied: "Foreigners' knives and forks are too laborious. They have to use both hands. Even if they want to read a newspaper while eating, they can't do it. Holding it with your hands requires oil on your hands. It's more difficult to use chopsticks."
It’s so convenient!”
But then Zhou Tao laughed: "You don't know, when I eat pizza with chopsticks, the foreigner next to me is envious, ceivab1e."
"If you ask me, foreigners are troublesome. Even though the food they cook is not delicious, they still have a poor and elegant meal. It really annoys me to death."
After hearing this, everyone laughed again.
After the meal, someone naturally cleaned up the dishes. Although the three old people worked together to take care of Zhu and only let Zhu eat the meals he prepared, Wu Jianye considered the old man's situation and hired two nannies to take care of the daily routine at home.
housework.
"Linlin, this is a vinyl record of Mozart that I brought to you abroad. I heard a foreigner say, listen now, what is it called prenatal education?" Sun Qing took out a few vinyl records from her bag and played them.
Arriving next to Zhu.
Zhu smiled and said: "Thank you, Qingqing. In fact, I already have these at home, but Teacher Wu said they are of no use."
Sun Qing glanced at Wu Jianye unhappily, "Why is it useless? This is called prenatal education. It allows the baby to receive elegant art in the mother's belly from an early age."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Look at what you have prepared for your children. In the mother's belly, you listen to Mozart, and after you come out, you hear your father's father being called grandpa, and his father's mother being called grandma... The contrast is too great.
I guess the elegance that the child heard in his belly must have been lost."
Sun Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said dissatisfied: "You are sophistry."
The four of them chatted in the room for a while, and then Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao came to the study.
"When you come back this time, where are you going to start?" Wu Jianye asked. Now the business of Yaoguang Group can be said to be in full bloom, and its subsidiaries are also developing rapidly under the management of professional managers.
Zhou Tao thought for a while and said: "I want to go to Tunan Technology. During my stay in the United States, I found that there is a huge difference between domestic and foreign technology exhibitions. I have some ideas that I want to try at Tunan Technology.
"
Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Zhou Tao smiled and said: "Laptop and mobile phone!"
"Now abroad, IBM released the IBM 5155 personal portable computer in February 1984. RB's Toshiba also produced its first notebook computer T11oo in 1985."
"Don't you always say that future technology exhibitions will always be for human convenience, so I think laptops will definitely become a trend in the future."
"As for mobile phones, they are actually similar. When I was in the United States, Motorola had already produced a mobile phone model 32oo. I think this will also become a trend!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "It seems that you, America, have really not been in vain these two years!"
Zhou Tao glanced at Wu Jianye dissatisfied, "What are you talking about? I'm very serious!"
"But have you ever thought about it, the current situation in China is that desktop computers, let alone laptops, are not popular yet. Are you a little too hasty in making laptops now?" Wu Jianye put forward his own opinion.
In Wu Jianye's opinion, making laptops now is indeed a bit ahead of schedule. After all, the popularity of desktop computers in China will have to wait until 2,000 years later, let alone laptops!
Zhou Tao said: "It's a bit late to start research now. According to my estimation, as well as the patent usage involved, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. It will take several years before it can really be put into use. And we can
Use this time to develop desktop computers first and establish your own brand in China. Then even if notebooks are still not popular in China a few years later, we can take advantage of this time to seize foreign markets and wait until the domestic situation
When we mature, we can make a comeback, and by then relying on the brand effect that Tunan Technology has already created, I believe we can open up the situation better in China!"
It was rare for Wu Jianye to see Zhou Tao being so interested in this matter, so he smiled and said: "Okay, if you want to do it, just do it, but I have to remind you that if you want to be in this industry, it actually involves more than just
It’s not just a few patents, but hundreds or thousands of patents. If you don’t have your own patents in hand, you will face many problems when you grow in the future.”
Zhou Tao said confidently: "So I want to set up a laboratory in Xiangjiang to merge with Tunan Technology's previous laboratory responsible for researching desktop computers, specifically to study these, but this is a costly laboratory!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Let's do this. The initial investment in the laboratory is 2,000,000 US dollars. If it is not enough, we will add more!"
Zhou Tao nodded matter-of-factly and said: "20 million US dollars should be enough for a while."
Then he said: "As for mobile phones, although Tunan Technology is now preparing to launch its first mobile phone in the second half of the year, as you said, the current domestic consumption level is not enough to cope with mass production, so I
I think we should put our main markets in places like Hong Kong, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and at the same time look for opportunities to enter the European and North American markets with price advantages!"
"Okay, since you already have a comprehensive plan, Tunan Technology will be left to you. Then you can use another amount of funds to invest in Tunan Technology. The specific amount is only 30%!
"Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zhou Tao is different from others. The two of them can be said to be the closest business partners. Now that Zhou Tao will be in charge of Tunan Technology, it is natural for Zhou Tao to hold a part of Tunan Technology's shares. This is to avoid
Later, Zhou Tao felt dissatisfied psychologically, and asked Zhou Tao to pay for it himself, in order to separate the friendship between the two in terms of business cooperation.
Zhou Tao nodded and had no objection to this.
But then Zhou Tao said another thing, which surprised Wu Jianye and was somewhat expected at the same time.
"Sun Qing wants to come out and do something by herself!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Just do it if you want to. You are also a billionaire now. Why should you hesitate to give your wife some money to do things?"
Zhou Tao smiled and said: "Isn't there no direction? I just want to ask you and invite you to become a shareholder."
"Buy shares?" Wu Jianye glanced at Zhou Tao doubtfully and said, "Why, I don't have enough money, I can lend you some!"
Wu Jianye believed that Zhou Tao probably did not have enough cash after acquiring part of Tunan Technology's shares.
Zhou Tao smiled and said: "I have money, but without you watching, I always feel unsure in my heart."
"What does Sun Qing mean?" Wu Jianye asked.
Since Sun Qing wanted to start his own business, Wu Jianye must have asked Sun Qing for his opinion.
"Sun Qing means the same thing."
"If you really want to do something, with the development of the country, the most important thing you will change is food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, in terms of clothing, we already have Jinxiu Garment. In order to avoid cannibalism, we should give up. That is
Food, accommodation, that’s all.”
"Forget traveling. After all, we don't have this technology in China yet. If we simply introduce foreign technology, it will be a very troublesome matter, and the investment will increase several times, which is not appropriate."
China has just reached a cooperation with Volkswagen this year. Volkswagen will combine the production lines of Audi, Jetta, Golf and other models with China to form Spring City FAW.
In fact, there is a little story here. The country that initially wanted to cooperate was not Volkswagen, but Chrysler. At that time, the country wanted to introduce Chrysler's eliminated Dodge 6oo production line. After learning about it, Chrysler's boss Iacocca immediately set the price.
The price was raised to a high price of US$1.76 million, and no counter-offers were allowed.
Not only that, when the Chinese delegation went to negotiate, the arrogant Iacocca had no way to go.
After Volkswagen learned of the incident, it immediately took the initiative to contact China. This is why Volkswagen has been China's number one joint venture brand for so many years.
When Volkswagen and China reached a consensus, Iacocca immediately flew to China and proposed to sell the Dodge 6oo production line to China for a symbolic price of one dollar.
It was too late for Iacocca to regret it at this time!
