Chapter 844

January 8, 1988, Sunday, Beijing, heavy snow.

The first snow of 1988 came a little late, but it fell very thickly, so much so that when Watching Liu Muhan came to visit Li Ye's house, she was complaining bitterly.

"Phew, what a big snow! All the buses have stopped, and there are not many people on the road. An old man in front of me fell, and no one cared for a long time; I only helped him up when I got to him."

Watching Liu Muhan was chatting with Watching Wen Leyu while taking off her boots.

There was snow inside the boots, and her socks were wet, obviously, the snow outside was really thick.

"Come, Song Xiaobao, let Auntie hold you!"

After Watching Liu Muhan changed into slippers, she happily came over to hold the child.

The two children were already seven months old, white, fat, healthy, and very cute.

But today, as soon as Watching Liu Muhan held Song Xiaobao, Song Xiaobao started to grin and struggled to reach out his arms toward Li Ye.

"You made him cold, go warm up by the heater first."

Li Ye took his son back and then said: "With such heavy snow on the road, why are you in such a rush to come over? If you catch a cold, wouldn't Grandpa Liu and Grandma Gao blame me?"

"They wouldn't blame you! You are the template and benchmark for young talents in their hearts, perfect and flawless."

Watching Liu Muhan curled her lips, untied the luggage she brought, and took out two things.

"This is venison sent to my mother by a friend; my mother said it's perfect to eat on a snowy day and urged me to send it to you quickly."

"My father heard that you like calligraphy and painting, so he found a piece of calligraphy and painting from an old friend and asked me to send it to you for appreciation."

"."

Li Ye looked at the gifts Watching Liu Muhan brought and couldn't help but say: "This is too polite! If I weren't very familiar with you, I would have thought you were asking me to do something for you!"

Watching Liu Muhan glanced at Li Ye sideways: "Have you done few things for me? If it weren't for you this time, my deputy section chief position would have been ruined."

Watching Wen Leyu next to her smiled and said: "Oh, so you were promoted and came to share the joy with us!"

Watching Liu Muhan said happily: "It's all thanks to your help, Xiao Yu! I originally thought it would be delayed for two years! But I couldn't help but finalize four introduction projects in a row; our department head said that it would be unreasonable not to promote me."

"."

After returning from Japan, Zhao Professor, Watching Liu Muhan, and Watching Wen Leyu started wholesale technology introduction according to Li Ye's opinions, which completely wiped out the bad influence caused by Guo Huai jumping off the building on Watching Liu Muhan.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Then you have to flatter my wife well; as long as she is willing, she can help you get promoted another level next year."

"Really? Oh my, nephew-in-law, you have to help me, whether I can rise to the top depends on you."

Watching Liu Muhan flattered Watching Wen Leyu half-truthfully and also affectionately hugged her shoulder.

Watching Wen Leyu got rid of Watching Liu Muhan in disgust and also said half-truthfully and unhappily: "You still want to rise to the top! I just made a little profit here, and I spent so much money again; some people in our unit gave me a nickname, saying I am a 'god of wealth'."

"."

Since last year, Watching Wen Leyu has continuously invested in mainland manufacturing. Because of Li Ye's strategy of occupying the market at a low price to build a reputation, the Laidong diesel engine and Changbei's gearbox finally opened up sales and began to supply light truck manufacturers such as Jinbei and Yanpai, and the profit momentum is good.

But compared to the speed of spending money, the speed of making money is obviously insufficient, and it can't keep up with the "high-quality business" in the Zhongxin Company.

At the beginning of the founding of Zhongxin Company, it had the gold medal of "we do everything that state-owned enterprises don't do," and all kinds of quick money were made, so the manufacturing industry with large investment and slow return couldn't keep up.

"Hahahaha, I'm joking, I'm joking, Xiao Yu, don't listen to my nephew's nonsense, I'm really satisfied this time, just these few projects are enough for me to eat until I reach the section chief level..."

Watching Liu Muhan played around with Watching Wen Leyu happily; she was originally a person who knew how to advance and retreat, so how could she let Watching Wen Leyu continue to spend money next year?

Once the favor becomes too big to be repaid, the relationship between the two parties will change.

However, Li Ye said: "No, I talked to Professor Zhao yesterday, we will increase the intensity of technology introduction next year and strive to introduce a whole set of industrial chains needed for modern automobile production..."

"Increase the intensity of introduction?"

Not only was Watching Liu Muhan puzzled, but even Watching Wen Leyu was a bit surprised.

Watching Wen Leyu certainly supports Li Ye, but every time Li Ye lists things that need to be introduced, it is very planned. Now that there is a sudden change, she doesn't understand the reason.

Li Ye exhaled and said: "Our trade relationship with the West has become hotter and hotter in these two years, so I think we should take the opportunity to do more; after all, the world is impermanent, and opportunities are not to be missed."

"."

"Nephew, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'opportunities are not to be missed'? Our situation is getting better and better now!"

Watching Liu Muhan doesn't understand Li Ye's words, but Li Ye has no way to explain it to her.

It will be 1988 soon, and the time when the mainland and the West have the best relationship will be a little over a year; it is really an opportunity not to be missed.

After this period, not to mention many sensitive technologies, even slightly advanced technologies will not be easy to buy.

In these few years, the lighthouse is promoting F-16 fighter jets to the mainland; can you believe it decades later?

Although after four years, the Soviet Union in the north will collapse, and the mainland will also have plenty of opportunities for technology introduction, some things are still backward.

For example, fighter jets; the strongest thing about the Soviet Union is mathematics, so the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft they designed is artistic, but other aspects have fallen far behind the West.

After the year 2000, the mainland's J11 and J10 have been officially equipped, but at the Air Force's target practice base, the air-to-air missile with the highest hit rate is neither J11 nor J10, but the 'Eight Master' that is criticized endlessly.

The reason is because of the "Peace Pearl Program" between the mainland and the lighthouse.

This gap continued until the 2020s, and it was only after several generations of aviation people in China caught up that they counterattacked.

When the J35A appeared at the air show and the engine sprayed yellow flames, I don't know how many technical men with white hair were moved to tears.

In the afternoon, Watching Liu Muhan went back.

Watching Wen Leyu quietly asked Li Ye: "Did you notice any abnormal situation when you said 'opportunities are not to be missed' today?"

Because Fu Guiru made a big profit in the lighthouse stock market's Black Monday, Watching Wen Leyu also began to "personally worship" Li Ye, so she felt that all of Li Ye's abnormal behaviors might be "predicting the enemy's movements."

Li Ye thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I didn't notice any abnormal situation, I just analyzed a truth based on history,"

"The lighthouse people don't understand us, thinking that if the relationship is good, we will be a good follower, but the mainland is too big, once it starts to develop rapidly, some intentions cannot be covered up..."

"Think of Liu Bang, think of Gou Jian..."

"Our China has not had the habit of being second in these five thousand years."

"Second?"

Watching Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye in surprise and began to savor the meaning of this "second."

In 1987, there were still many powerful nations in the world! No matter how you count it, China doesn't seem to be ranked second!
