Chapter 864

At two in the afternoon, Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying returned as Watching Wen Leyu expected. According to this time calculation, it is estimated that Wen Guohua and his father-in-law didn't drink a few cups.

It's not normal to disperse the banquet early at the father-in-law's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Either the father-in-law doesn't like the son-in-law, or the son-in-law doesn't care about the father-in-law.

However, Wen Guohua was obviously not in either of these two situations.

As soon as Pan Xiaoying entered the door, she smiled enthusiastically at Watching Wen Leyu: "Your brother finally came back once, and he was thinking about his two big nephews. He was distracted when drinking with my dad at home,

I hurriedly came back with him to see Xiaobao and Xiaodou... Hey, Xiaoyu, these two baskets of yours are really good, the child doesn't feel tired at all lying in them, and can be tied to the car..."

Watching Wen Leyu said with a smile: "This is a baby basket Li Ye bought from Pengcheng. I brought a set for you, sister-in-law. I guess it can be used in a few days..."

"Really? It's still the sister and brother-in-law who remember me, unlike your brother, this block of wood, didn't bring me anything when he came back from the south, even if he brought me a bunch of lychees..."

"Lychees? A ride of red dust, the concubine laughs, no one knows it's lychees coming. Sister-in-law, are you going to be Yang Guifei?"

"Hahahaha, I would like to be Yang Guifei, but your brother is not Tang Minghuang..."

Watching Wen Leyu and Pan Xiaoying, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law, chatted warmly, but the brother-in-law Wen Guohua gave Li Ye a wink and took him aside.

"Your sister-in-law might tell you about a big deal later, remember to keep your wallet tight, don't be a scattering boy."

Li Ye's heart tightened, and he had to admire Watching Wen Leyu's "divine calculation." Pan Xiaoying praised his little wife a few times, and sure enough, she had her calculations.

However, Li Ye smiled and said: "Big deal? How big can it be? Brother, we are family, we don't talk about two families. I am still willing to spend a little money without hurting the harmony."

After Li Ye finished speaking, Wen Guohua said proudly: "Hurt the harmony? Why hurt the harmony? Could it be that she still dares to take advantage and then sell well?"

Li Ye gave a thumbs up in admiration, indicating that brother-in-law, you are really mighty, worthy of being the master of the house.

Pan Xiaoying was just a reserve cadre who was grinding her qualifications in the postal system more than two years ago, but after becoming a relative with the Wen family, she became a pioneer representative of the technical reform of the postal system,

In the past two years, Pan Xiaoying led the 501 Factory to achieve one technical breakthrough after another, effectively supporting the technical replacement of national postal communications and accumulating enough political capital.

That's why Wen Guohua said carelessly that she took advantage and must be obedient and gentle, without the qualification to hurt the harmony.

However, Pan Xiaoying obviously didn't think so. She thought the "big deal" she proposed was a win-win good thing.

"Li Ye! I just chatted with Xiaoyu about a business cooperation plan, but she said she didn't understand this aspect, so I want to hear your opinion."

Li Ye looked at his little wife and said noncommittally: "Business cooperation? I don't understand it very well either!"

Pan Xiaoying smiled and said: "Li Ye, don't be humble. Your No. 1 Branch Factory introduced two technical projects this year, and you are studying economics. If you don't understand, then no one in our family understands."

"Then sister-in-law, tell me, what kind of cooperation plan is it?"

Hearing Li Ye loosen up, Pan Xiaoying's eyes lit up a bit.

Today, she had already eaten two soft and hard nails in front of her husband and sister-in-law. She thought Li Ye must have been vaccinated by Wen Guohua, but she didn't expect him to be "a bit tender."

Pan Xiaoying leaned toward Li Ye and said with a smile: "Li Ye, you know about mobile phones, right? The phone that you can carry on your body and call anytime, anywhere."

Li Ye said truthfully: "I know, I have used mobile phones in the Lighthouse, Hong Kong, and Japan, and Pengcheng Fengyu also has exploratory technical research on mobile phones..."

"Look, look, I said you must understand!"

Pan Xiaoying said happily: "Our Beijing started the demonstration of mobile phones a few years ago, but it was snatched by Pengcheng last year,

So our Beijing side also wants to officially start the mobile phone project. Once it is put into use, it will be too convenient. When Xiaoyu wants to find you for a coffee, she can find you anytime, anywhere. Think about it, how romantic that would be..."

"No, no, sister-in-law, you have to think about this from two aspects. After the mobile phone is put into use, it will not be easy for me to secretly drink with colleagues. That thing is like a kite string. If she pulls that string with her fingers at home, I have to respond immediately!"

"..."

Pan Xiaoying, who was spitting, was stunned.

Watching Wen Leyu and Wen Qingsheng were also stunned, and then they couldn't help but laugh out loud at the same time.

"Hahahaha~, mobile phone is a kite string, Xiao Ye, your words are too vivid, and too funny..."

"According to Li Ye, this mobile phone project cannot be landed. Otherwise, will men have any freedom in the future?"

"..."

Pan Xiaoying laughed for a long time, and then said: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about jokes, Li Ye, just tell me if this project has cooperation value!"

Li Ye also restrained his smile and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, I remember you mentioned the mobile phone project in Beijing before, didn't you say it could be built at the beginning of this year? Why do you want to find someone to cooperate now? Did something unexpected happen halfway?"

Pan Xiaoying did mention the mobile phone project in Beijing to Li Ye, and even this project and the pager started verification and discussion at the same time.

And according to the memory in Li Ye's biological hard drive, the first-generation mobile communication network in Beijing was opened in 1988, which could accommodate at most 2,000 households and could only satisfy 73 users talking at the same time.

So when Pan Xiaoying told Li Ye about this project just now, Li Ye had doubts and excitement in his heart.

What he doubted was, with such a small capacity, why did it need cooperation?

And what he was excited about was, could it be that the big deal Pan Xiaoying was talking about was to let him buy shares in the mobile communication industry?

Li Ye seemed to remember in his previous life that among the three giants of mobile communication, one was private at the beginning, but later became state-owned.

"Let me say it! Your sister-in-law can't explain it clearly."

Wen Guohua looked at his wife and explained in a deep voice: "At the beginning, our Beijing side indeed planned to experiment on a small scale, and the 501 Factory was one of the important participating units,

But your sister-in-law thought the scale was too small and the experimental effect was not real enough, so she proposed a big plan for national provincial capital mobile communication networking,

That is to start mobile projects in all provincial capitals in the country at the same time, and experiment with networking between each other, so the original plan was delayed, and the new plan has a large funding gap, because many equipment need to be imported with foreign exchange..."

"But Li Ye, you also know the economic level of our mainland. Pagers are already thousands of yuan each, and mobile phones must be over ten thousand? How many people can afford to use them? How long will it take to get back the cost? And the first batch itself has experimental nature, the risk is too great..."

Wen Guohua carefully analyzed various risks for Li Ye, and Li Ye finally understood that he, this butterfly, still changed the original historical trajectory.

If there was no support from him, Pan Xiaoying would not go to the 501 Factory to be the number one, and would not propose a new plan, making the original plan delayed and difficult to produce.

Li Ye pondered for a few seconds, then stared at Pan Xiaoying and asked: "Building mobile projects in all provincial capitals in the country at the same time, sister-in-law, you don't want to cover the whole country with mobile networks, do you?"

Pan Xiaoying was startled and nodded slowly: "I do have that idea, so the first step is very important."

Watching Wen Leyu and Wen Qingsheng looked at Pan Xiaoying in surprise. They both knew that Pan Xiaoying had big plans, but they didn't expect her plans to be so big.

In the mainland in 1988, she actually wanted to cover the whole country with mobile phones. This ambition couldn't be described as "big."

Because even in the Lighthouse Country, they haven't covered all the large and small cities in the country!

You, Pan Xiaoying, are going to catch up with Britain and surpass America?

How much money will that cost?

But Li Ye really admired his sister-in-law Pan Xiaoying.

"Hiss~"

Li Ye pretended to take a breath and asked again: "Sister-in-law, have you solved the technical aspect?"

Pan Xiaoying's eyes lit up. Li Ye didn't ask how much money was needed, but asked about technical problems, then...

Pan Xiaoying suddenly felt that the person who supported her most in the family was very likely Li Ye.

You know, for this plan she proposed, some elders in the family held opposing attitudes! The investment was too big and too risky.

"Li Ye, actually, the technical aspect is not that difficult. Engineer Ni gave me a guarantee. As long as the funds are in place, there is no problem at all in the technical aspect."

"Oh~"

Li Ye seemed to remember something and asked: "Sister-in-law, what is the funding gap for this plan of yours?"

Pan Xiaoying pursed her lips and stretched out a finger.

【Are you selling me missiles?】

Li Ye said with disgust: "Sister-in-law, we are family, don't play riddles, don't go around in circles with me, just say the number."

"Hehehe~"

Pan Xiaoying laughed awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "One hundred million... US dollars."

Li Ye finally understood what Wen Qingsheng meant by asking him to "tighten his wallet." One hundred million US dollars in 1988 was definitely an astronomical figure.

And one hundred million US dollars was only for provincial capital networking, and continuous follow-up investment would be needed for national networking in the future.

With the current economic level, no one believed that it could develop benignly, and no one knew how long it would take to lose money.

But Li Ye leaned back on the sofa and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, you just talked about cooperation, let's not talk about how many shares such a large amount of one hundred million US dollars can occupy, but this kind of national communication enterprise, private participation is not allowed, right?"

"..."

Pan Xiaoying, Watching Wen Leyu, and Wen Qingsheng all looked at Li Ye strangely.

Because the state-owned enterprises that Watching Wen Leyu supervised all had state-owned enterprise backgrounds, how could they be private investments?

However, Li Ye then said: "We can't decide this matter, we have to ask mom to come over and make the decision."

This matter was too important. People say you are a state-owned enterprise, you are a state-owned enterprise, and people say you are private, you are private. So if you want to guarantee your own interests, you need Teacher Ke to analyze and endorse it.

"..."

Pan Xiaoying was stunned, and stood up from the sofa with a swoosh, running fast toward Teacher Ke's room with her big belly.

"Mom, mom, we have something that needs you to make a decision..."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, slow down, don't fall..."

Li Ye shouted in the back, but Pan Xiaoying turned a deaf ear.

【An investment project of one hundred million US dollars! I, Pan Xiaoying, am going to fly high~】

And brother-in-law Wen Qingsheng, sitting on the sofa, looked at Li Ye affectionately and didn't speak for a long time.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing, brother, I'm thinking about what project is suitable to engage in. I'm not greedy, you just give me a number."
