"You are looking for me because of roller skates?"

When Li Ye, with the help of several kind basketball boys, finally found the Beijing Computer New Technology Development Company affiliated with the Computer Institute after asking all the way, the person in charge of the company looked at Li Ye and Pei Wencong and felt that this person didn't look like he was here to "return goods."

In the days when he was just cheated, this person in charge took his entrepreneurial employees to set up a stall on the street of Zhongguancun to sell roller skates, which is true, but he didn't remember selling them to people like Pei Wencong!

Look at people's suits, watches, and the foreign secretary behind them. Would they buy his simplified version of roller skates?

"You are Manager Liu, right? I am Pei Wencong. I haven't bought your roller skates, but I was shocked and ashamed when I heard that the scientific researchers of the Computer Institute actually sold roller skates. You should have more suitable things to do..."

Pei Wencong had long been instructed by Li Ye, smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Liu Lianxiang, and then showed the noble feelings of a patriotic businessman, feeling ashamed that the country's high-level technical talents were forced to set up stalls on the side of the road for a living.

Liu Lianxiang shook hands with Pei Wencong inexplicably, listening in a fog, but when he figured out Pei Wencong's identity as a Hong Kong businessman, he quickly recovered, and a warm brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.

His Computer New Technology Development Company hadn't found a clear profit point at this time! That is, he hadn't found a clear way to make money,

Although he pulled the technical god Ni Guangnan over through organizational relations, in the situation where he didn't have much money in his hands and only a few kittens and puppies under his command, he was far from passing the difficult early stage of entrepreneurial development.

"Hahaha, is it Mr. Pei? Sit, sit, sit. Oh, we need patriotic businessmen like you now. We had already negotiated a social donation, but you also know the situation in the mainland now, the demand for funds to develop technology is very large..."

"."

Pei Wencong was just let to the sofa by the enthusiastic Liu Lianxiang, and was a bit at a loss by his words.

Donation? Is this a poverty-stricken mountain area? Besides, do I look like someone who came to donate?

We just met, and you want to get money from me for nothing?

But soon, he discovered that this Manager Liu was a person who was slick and sophisticated, and his words just now were just a probe that touched and left.

Seeing that he didn't pick up the conversation, the other party immediately guessed his true intention.

"Mr. Pei just said that we should have more suitable things to do, so what things are you referring to?"

"We have already invested in an electronics factory in Pengcheng, and we are preparing to put color televisions into production in the near future, but we are very interested in personal computers, so we thought that since you are a computer development company, you should have research strength in this area, right?"

"Color TV? Computer?"

Manager Liu's eyes were almost on fire, and he said immediately: "Yes, we have strength in this area. I don't know if Mr. Pei understands, our company seems small, but behind it is the Academy of Sciences, with national-level scientific research strength..."

Li Ye sat on the side silently watching, watching Liu Lianxiang, who was discussing more and more enthusiastically with Pei Wencong, slowly overlapping him with that well-known entrepreneur in later generations.

He was originally a logistics management person, didn't know much about technology, but possessed the connections accumulated from the previous generation, and was also slick and sophisticated.

No matter what, being able to make a small company reach the level of an industry giant, Liu Lianxiang must be a very powerful business person. Dealing with him... is not ordinary danger.

But at this time, Li Ye wanted to deal with other computer research institutes... he had no way!

Only the small company contracted by Liu Lianxiang can flexibly take orders and give you a chance to poach people.

There is another point. Now the research institutes in the mainland are also uneven. Li Ye doesn't know at all who, besides Ni God, is a general talent who can lead an army in the computer industry at this time.

In the era of open information in later generations, after many scientific research projects that died halfway were known to people, everyone sighed and regretted, saying "If we insisted a little bit at the beginning, if we didn't deviate a little bit at the beginning," it would be how it would be.

In fact, many similar situations are because there is no strong scientific research leader to lead the army.

The role of a strong scientific research leader is far greater than that of a group of ordinary scientific research engineers.

For example, Qian Lao who studied missiles, Deng Lao who studied mushrooms, a certain chief designer of Chengfei, etc.

Such a person must understand technology, have a long-term and wise vision, have a strong will, and have fearless responsibility and many other qualities to continue to move forward on the difficult road of scientific research for more than ten years or decades.

Ordinary people can't even determine the correct direction, can't persist, let alone others.

Such people are only a few in the super companies of later generations, or even only one or two. Once replaced, the company's scientific research process will collapse and fall behind in a very short time.

And Ni God is the one who was replaced.

"Mr. Pei and I really met too late! We chatted until dark, and forgot to eat. It's a sin, it's a sin. Let's eat first, and chat while eating..."

Liu Lianxiang chatted with Pei Wencong for a while, and the sky outside was just dark, so he immediately pulled him out to eat.

Pei Wencong also readily agreed, but had a request to bring other technical personnel of the company together to contact feelings.

So other people in the company also followed to eat, but just when going out, Li Ye shook his head slightly at Pei Wencong.

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye in surprise, then followed his gaze to the employees present, and only after several seconds did he suddenly understand.

The person the boss liked wasn't here!

"Manager Liu, may I ask if all your technical personnel are here? Don't you have twelve employees?"

"Hmm~"

Liu Lianxiang was stunned, then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Pei to know our company so well? That... who... go call Old Ni. Once he starts researching, he doesn't ask about anything. How can this work?"

A moment later, Li Ye finally saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses. After carefully examining him, he confirmed that he was the Ni God he was looking for.

Ni God is forty-five years old this year, not at all the white-haired appearance that everyone is familiar with in later generations. He is in the golden age of being in his prime.

Li Ye nodded slightly, and Pei Wencong immediately understood who his ultimate goal was.

But Li Ye had instructed that he shouldn't be too hasty, so Pei Wencong didn't deliberately get close to Ni God, just nodded normally, not even shaking hands.

After arriving at the restaurant, everyone slowly became familiar with each other, and only then did they know that the reason Pei Wencong came from Hong Kong this time was as a cultural figure in Hong Kong, invited to attend the signing ceremony of the joint declaration on the spot.

Now Pei Wencong was even more sought after. Everyone took turns to toast him, and good words were thrown over in baskets. If Li Ye hadn't blocked more than half of the wine for Pei Wencong, he would have floated away drunk long ago.

But just when everyone was drinking and eating happily, Ni God asked a series of questions that spoiled the scenery.

"Mr. Pei, are you sure you want to research personal computers? How much money do you have? How much money can you invest every year? How many years can you continue to invest? If there are no research results in a year, will you demand compensation?"

"."

"Old Ni, how much did you drink? How can these questions be discussed at the dinner table?"

"Hehe, Mr. Pei, our Engineer Ni has this kind of temper, speaking quickly... don't take offense."

Colleagues at the dinner table complained that Engineer Ni spoke too directly, and some smoothed things over to ease the atmosphere.

More than ten people, independently established this small company, and it took so long to finally meet a big rich man. You are asking five consecutive questions at the dinner table, are you trying to scare people away?

Who pays everyone's salary? Who is responsible if the bonus flies away?

But Pei Wencong didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "Mr. Ni, I think personal PCs will definitely change our work and life, so we must research them. If you don't cooperate with us, I can only find others to do it."

"Eh eh, Mr. Pei, you said that, we didn't say we wouldn't do it, we definitely cooperate, definitely cooperate."

Pei Wencong waved his hand and continued to smile: "As for how much money to invest, we need a detailed budget, so we can't determine it now, but I can tell you that although I belong to the cultural circle, I am a billionaire, and my assets exceed 100 million US dollars."

"Ooh~"

"."

There was a sound of surprise at the banquet, and then almost everyone's heart became warm.

100 million US dollars! How much was their entire company's operating funds?

200,000 RMB, and more than half was cheated away.

Liu Lianxiang was just about to talk to Pei Wencong, but Pei Wencong smiled and asked Engineer Ni: "Mr. Ni, I have answered your questions, so now I need to ask you a question: do you have the ability to research personal computers now?"

"."

Engineer Ni was silent for a long time and didn't answer Pei Wencong.

Everyone was anxious, looking at Engineer Ni and winking hard.

【You must not tell the truth! Otherwise, will this business still be done?】

But Engineer Ni finally shook his head and said: "We don't have the ability to research personal computers now, at least we don't have the ability to research the whole machine."

"."

There were at least five or six people at the dinner table who wished they could cover Engineer Ni's mouth.

However, Engineer Ni continued: "But the program-controlled switch you mentioned just now, we have a research foundation. As long as you provide research funds, we can start research now, and we can definitely research it successfully."

Li Ye nodded secretly, deeply admiring.

To engage in scientific research, one must seek truth from facts, one is one and two is two, and one must never talk nonsense.
