Chapter 873
By 10 o'clock, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, Hao Jian, Wang Jianqiang, and their families also arrived at Li Ye's door.
After they entered, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng joked to Pei Wencong: "Yo, Boss Pei, you are the furthest away, but you arrived the earliest~"
Pei Wencong said with a smile: "Brother Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, can you still call me Old Pei? This 'Boss Pei' of yours makes me very uncomfortable!"
"Hahahaha~, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'll punish myself with three cups first later!"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng laughed loudly, still as open as before.
But Li Ye stared at his eye sockets and said: "Brother Peng, have you been drinking a bit too much in the past few days? Your eye sockets are sunken."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng smiled helplessly and didn't speak, but his wife Liu Qiaorong complained: "You can say that again. It was not easy for him to come back once, and so many friends took turns visiting. He had endless wine every day, and I couldn't stop him,"
"We agreed to come at 9 o'clock today, but he was drunk and humming, and couldn't get up no matter how we pushed him, making Qiangzi and Brother Hao wait for him for a long time..."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng couldn't hold his face because of his wife's words, and scolded with a smile: "You women don't understand the affairs of big men. Feelings are all in the wine..."
Liu Qiaorong immediately stopped talking. Clearly, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng was absolutely a competent "great husband" at home.
But Li Ye said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you can't stop Brother Peng from drinking, let Zhanqiang and Zhanmei stop him! Let's see which of the three of them is the number one in the family."
"Hahahaha~, number one? Come over and kowtow."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng laughed again. If there is anyone in this world who can control big men, it must be their children.
Liu Qiaorong gave birth to her son Jin Zhanqiang for Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng the year before last, and then went to Hong Kong with Han Chunmei to have a second child, and gave birth to a daughter Jin Zhanmei, only a few months younger than Xiao Youan.
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, who had both a son and a daughter, might be a "big brother" feared by everyone outside, but at home, his family ranking was definitely not first.
Hearing Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's greeting, several children who were timidly following their adults knelt on the ground with a clatter.
Hao Jian's daughter Hao Cuicui was the oldest and spoke first: "Godfather, I kowtow to you."
"."
In many places in Dongshan Province, the younger generation has to kowtow to the elders during the New Year. Since Li Ye is Hao Cuicui's godfather and is brothers with Hao Jian and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, accepting the kowtow of these children is no problem.
It's just that Hao Jian's second child, Hao Tongtong, and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's son, Jin Zhanqiang, were still young, and their hearts were honest. They didn't know how to say New Year's greetings, so they just followed Hao Cuicui and knocked their foreheads on the ground, bang bang.
Li Ye took out a few red envelopes and handed them to Hao Cuicui and others. Hao Cuicui and the other two children stood up happily and took the red envelopes.
Then Pei Wencong also distributed red envelopes, all of which were gold medals weighing several hundred grams.
Hao Tongtong and Jin Zhanqiang had never seen this kind of "red envelope," and looked at the gold medal left and right with glowing eyes.
Hao Cuicui was so angry that her face was deep, and she snatched the gold medal from her brother's hand and handed it to her mother An Xiaolian.
She was eleven years old and had been influenced by Hao Jian for the past few years, having a deeper understanding of human affairs than her peers.
Li Ye's red envelope was only 100 yuan, which was definitely not a small amount compared to ordinary people in the 1980s, but it was definitely stingy compared to Pei Wencong and the others.
But Li Ye's red envelope was stingy again, and compared with Pei Wencong's heavy gold medal, I don't know how much heavier it was. You actually held the gold medal and smiled?
【My father and mother are so smart, why did they give birth to such a stupid brother? Just now I called godfather, and he didn't know how to follow, really a silly guy.】
Taking advantage of the fact that lunch hadn't started yet, Li Ye asked Wen Leyu to take all the women and children to the back courtyard to play, and he and Hao Jian, Pei Wencong, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, and others went to the small reception room to hold an expanded Spring Festival work meeting.
"Next year, we will strive to mass-produce our own mobile phones in the mainland. If the core components cannot be solved, whether it is self-research or purchasing patents, we must hurry up and find a way..."
Pei Wencong said: "We acquired two communication companies in the Lighthouse and obtained some technology. It's just that Motorola is too successful this year, and we are striving for the production rights of Motorola 3200 in the name of Hong Kong Fengyu..."
Motorola 3200 is the "Big Brother," and it is also Motorola's first-generation GSM mobile phone. Its huge body and long antenna are very eye-catching in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and it is also a symbol of an era.
Li Ye shook his head and said: "It is unlikely that they will sell us the production rights, and we don't have to hang ourselves on a tree in the Lighthouse. The mobile communication technology in Europe is also good. Stones from other hills can be used to polish jade. As long as it is beneficial to us, money is not a problem..."
The mainland's mobile network has begun to be built. Although the R&D team led by Ni Dashen is very capable, Pengcheng Fengyu has cooperation with Factory 506. If it can speed up, Li Ye is also willing to pay a little premium.
"Okay, okay, I will arrange for the European branch to speed up the progress later, and I believe there will be results soon..."
Pei Wencong agreed repeatedly, and then suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Mr. Li, the 'SMS' technology you told me about last time has already had a clue."
"Oh?"
Li Ye said pleasantly: "Is it the Lighthouse side or the European side?"
Pei Wencong shook his head and smiled: "It was developed by our Hong Kong Fengyu itself. It's just that the current mobile phone only has the function of making calls and does not have the function of receiving Chinese characters,"
"So we can only send digital information from the computer end to a special receiving device, and then convert it into Chinese characters..."
Li Ye was stunned. Isn't this a Chinese character pager?
According to the historical trajectory, on July 19, 1991, the world's first Chinese character pager and Chinese character paging center system were born in the mainland's Inspur Electronic Information Industry Group, and then Motorola also began to produce Chinese character pagers.
And the world's first SMS was sent in Britain on December 3, 1992, with the English "Merry Christmas."
Li Ye immediately said seriously: "Register the patent immediately, and pay attention to confidentiality. Before our products are launched on a large scale, no one is allowed to leak this matter."
Pei Wencong immediately replied: "Mr. Li, don't worry, I have already signed a confidentiality agreement with the inventor, and the patent application is also being done..."
In fact, Pei Wencong didn't understand why Li Ye valued this thing called "SMS" so much. In his view, this thing was not as important as Li Ye stretching out his fingers and pointing him to an "investment direction."
But who would have thought that this function, which was not favored, was finally bought by Finland's Nokia, finally helping Nokia to emerge and shake Motorola's market position.
"Oh, by the way, Hao Jian, there is one more thing, that is, the advertisement for Fenghua Clothing needs to change people. Ning Pingping's wings are hard..."
"."
At the end of the meeting, Li Ye told Hao Jian about Ning Pingping and asked him to cooperate with Pei Wencong to prepare for changing the new spokesperson.
After Hao Jian agreed, he always felt uneasy in his heart.
So he found an opportunity to smoke with Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng on the side.
"Brother Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, you said that Li Ye just said Ning Pingping's wings are hard, will there be any meaning of beating us?"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked at Hao Jian in surprise and said with a smile: "Old Hao, what are you thinking? Does Li Ye need to take a detour if he wants to beat us?"
Hao Jian thought about it, but still said: "I finally feel that it is really not okay to have no culture. Just now you look at the things Old Pei and others and Li Ye discussed, I couldn't understand many of them."
"You are thinking crookedly."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng threw the cigarette on the ground and said to Hao Jian: "What kind of person has what kind of use. We can't do the things Pei Wencong does, and it is not appropriate for Pei Wencong to do the things we do. You Hao Jian now have more than 100,000 employees, does Li Ye not trust you?"
"Li Ye has long said that any industry, as long as it can be done to the extreme, is a great skill. You don't want to make money from any money, right?"
Hao Jian was stunned and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Brother Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, your brain is still smart. I am too busy with the clothing factory and the TV factory now! Considering mobile phones and the like is looking for trouble."
In the past, Li Ye would gather the "Initial Team of Five" including Hao Jian and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng every year to discuss the results of the year and the outlook for the coming year.
This year, Pei Wencong suddenly joined, and he was not used to it.
But Hao Jian immediately asked Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng: "Brother Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, you have been mixing in the north in Russia for these years, do you want to make the fur and timber business the biggest?"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng chuckled and said faintly: "I don't necessarily just do fur and timber!"
It is 1988 now, and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng feels more and more that Li Ye's "divine prophecy" is extremely correct. Perhaps in another year or two, he will flip some amazing things.
