Chapter 1016 Transformation
Zhang Hao has been fond of model aircraft since he was in school. As an expert in model aircraft, he has won gold medals in the National Games and the World Model Aircraft Competition.
While studying abroad, Zhang Hao accidentally came into contact with the Internet and became a pioneer of the Internet, achieving great success. But in Zhang Hao's heart, his love for model airplanes has never changed. This hobby that changed the trajectory of his life still deeply affects him today.
Zhang Hao is no longer concerned about Internet operations, although when there are good projects, he will still make part of the investment as an angel investor. In the Internet industry, Zhang Hao is recognized for his fame and vision.
After getting rid of the cumbersome Internet business, Zhang Hao had a lot of available money in his hands. He could not spend all the money in this lifetime, let alone in several lifetimes.
With the money, Zhang Hao started to do what he was most interested in, which was to pick up his old hobby again. Earlier this year, Zhang Hao invested in the majority of the shares of Yifeng, the model airplane shop that Song Chaoyuan first took him to, and became the absolute controlling shareholder of this company founded in 1982.
At the same time, Zhang Hao also directly invested in buying the property rights of the store where Yifeng was located, and expanded and renovated the store. The new Yifeng still retains the previous store and business scope, but both the business area and product diversity are far beyond the previous one.
Although this store is well-known, its business has not been very good. It was OK from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s, but now its operating profit has plummeted. In addition to the low profit of the model airplanes themselves, the more important thing is that the labor and rent expenses are getting higher and higher. This is also the real reason why this company could not survive in 2010 and finally chose to close its business after trying to save itself and disappeared.
But now it is different. Zhang Hao has become the absolute controlling shareholder of the company and has also bought the properties where the company and its stores are located, fundamentally solving the operational difficulties in the future caused by the continuous increase in expenditure costs.
Besides, this money is nothing to Zhang Hao, and although the housing prices in Shanghai are much higher now, compared with ten or twenty years later, the housing prices are still very cheap. Zhang Hao will not lose money by acquiring this piece of real estate as a fixed asset investment.
In addition to acquiring Yifeng, the new technology company that Zhang Hao established in Pengcheng also focuses on model aircraft. However, unlike traditional model aircraft, the company's main research and production object is "drones".
Drones appeared in the 1920s. The first drones were actually a type of model aircraft . However, compared with ordinary model aircraft, the control of drones was not linear. Instead, they were remotely controlled using radio technology. In other words, they were radio-controlled model aircraft.
Zhang Hao had studied this type of aircraft model before he went to college, and Song Yuanchao had even seen him fly a remote-controlled aircraft model. With the continuous development of science and technology, drones have gradually developed from a single aircraft model to a new level. Among them, the military research of drones has been listed as an important project in developed countries. In the mid-to-late 1990s, the US military had already begun to equip military drones as a new means of military reconnaissance and attack.
Zhang Hao's research on drones is certainly not for military use, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it. His direction is civilian drones, which are also very widely used compared to military drones. They are very useful in meteorology, exploration, mapping, and photography. Zhang Hao is an expert in this field and has a great interest in this project. So he brought in a few like-minded friends to start this company.
The company was established not long ago , and Zhang Hao has been very busy these days, traveling almost all over the world. So what Zhang Pingping said about Zhang Hao being elusive now, and he might be in China today and on the other side of the ocean tomorrow, is absolutely true. It is not easy to contact Zhang Hao.
Qin Wenhui asked Zhang Hao what he was busy with. Zhang Pingping didn't know much, so she could only roughly tell him what she knew. It was said that Zhang Hao didn't want to work in the Internet industry, but instead started over and tinkered with civilian drones, which surprised others.
"I think it's not easy for Uncle Zhang to do this, maybe he can really succeed." Lin Feng has always admired Zhang Hao. In fact, it's not just him who admires him. Zhang Hao is an idol among their young generation. In addition, Lin Feng is active by nature, and when he heard that Zhang Hao was tinkering with these things, he even thought about going to his company if he had the chance.
"Yangming, are you back to Shanghai to work now?" After talking to Zhang Hao for a while, Qin Wenhui asked Song Yangming.
Song Yangming smiled and nodded: "I'm the vice president of a branch company under Shenghua. I've just been there for a while and I'm getting familiar with the job. "
"Great! Come on! Let's toast to Yang Ming together and wish him a promotion to vice president and continued success!" Qin Wenhui picked up the beer in front of her with a smile. Everyone cheered immediately, clinked the bottles together with a smile, and then took a sip.
"How is Zijun ? I haven't seen her for a long time." Putting down the bottle of wine, Qin Wenhui asked Song Yangming.
"You don't know?" Song Yangming was stunned.
"I know? What do I know?" Qin Wenhui was confused.
Song Yangming told her that Song Zijun and Qin Wenhui's younger brother were studying in college in the United States. Qin Wenhui was stunned when she heard this, because she had been in the UK and had not returned to China. She only contacted her family by phone when there was something.
She knew that her younger brother Qin Wenchang went to study in the United States. Originally, Qin Zhengguo planned to send him to the United Kingdom, just like he sent Qin Wenhui to study in the United Kingdom. Because Qin Wenhui was in the United Kingdom, Qin Wenchang's sister could take care of him when he went to the United Kingdom. But who would have thought that Qin Wenchang might have been afraid of his strong sister since he was a child, and insisted on going to the United States to study. So the family sent this kid to the United States last year. Qin Wenhui only talked to her brother a few times on the phone this year, and she didn't even see him in person.
Unexpectedly, not only Qin Wenchang went to the United States, but Song Zijun also went to the United States. Moreover, Song Yangming told her that the two of them were studying in the same school, and they lived very close to each other, so they could be said to be neighbors, and they had a very good relationship.
Hearing this, Qin Wenhui was surprised and then suddenly understood that this must have been specially arranged by her father Qin Zhengguo.
Back then, after Qin Zhengguo sent Qin Wenhui to study in the UK, he instigated Uncle Song Yuanchao to send Song Yangming to study in the UK as well. He also deliberately created opportunities for himself and Song Yangming. Even an idiot could tell what his hidden intentions were.
To put it bluntly, Qin Zhengguo had a plan in mind, intending to use this method to bring Qin Wenhui and Song Yangming together. Unfortunately, although Qin Wenhui and Song Yangming grew up together and had a good relationship, they never had the kind of love between men and women. For them, there was only a sister-brother relationship, not a man-woman relationship.
The matchmaking failed, and Qin Wenhui originally thought that her father had given up. However, her father still did not give up, and now he was secretly trying to match up his own brother Wenchang and Song Yangming's sister Zijun.
However, compared to Qin Wenhui who is two years older than Song Yangming, Qin Wenchang and Song Zijun are just the right age. Qin Wenchang was born in 1985 and Song Zijun was born in 1986, a year difference between them. In addition, the two families have a close relationship and have known each other since childhood, so the possibility of a successful match is indeed very high.
Qin Wenhui shook her head in a helpless manner, not knowing what to say. However, she was somewhat worried about her brother Qin Wenchang. It was not that Song Zijun was bad, Qin Wenhui and Song Zijun were very familiar with each other, but this eccentric girl had always been very opinionated since she was a child. Compared with her brother Qin Wenchang, Song Zijun was obviously the stronger party. If the two of them really got together in the future, the honest Qin Wenchang would suffer a lot in the future.
While talking to Song Yangming about her brother and Song Zijun, Qin Wenhui carefully looked at Song Yangming's expression, as if trying to see something from his face.
Qin Wenhui was a little worried about Song Yangming because of what Lin Feng said before they came. But now Song Yangming doesn't seem to be trapped in love at all. On the contrary, Song Yangming is much more mature than she remembered. His gestures and conversations no longer have the childishness and naivety of the past, but are more mature and stable as a man.
In this regard, Qin Wenhui felt that Song Yangming had some shadows of Song Yuanchao. From childhood to adulthood, Qin Wenhui had no idea how many times she had met Song Yuanchao. In her impression, Song Chaoyuan was never the kind of person who showed off his edge. He was gentle, mature, resourceful, insightful, and decisive... These were Qin Wenhui's feelings about Song Chaoyuan. In addition, her father Qin Zhengguo and mother Ying Caixia would often tell her about the past when they were educated youths at home, and later returned to the city to start a business and get admitted to university, which made Qin Wenhui admire Song Chaoyuan very much.
In fact, the reason why Qin Wenhui chose to start a business in the UK after graduating from the UK, instead of returning to China or Hong Kong to work at Shenghua, was also influenced by Song Chaoyuan. Compared with her father Qin Zhengguo, Qin Wenhui was secretly learning from Song Chaoyuan in many aspects instead of learning from her own father. And now, she saw something in Song Yangming that Song Yangming didn't have before, and these things were the same as some of the temperaments of Song Yuanchao that she was familiar with. She couldn't help but sigh that Song Yangming was really mature, and he looked at his father with new eyes.
As they were talking, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the bar, which made Qin Wenhui frown.
This bar is not noisy, and compared with other DISCO bars nearby, it is a slow-rock bar. The music played in the bar is mostly soothing, and the performances of the hired bands are not as intense as those in DISCO bars, and there will be no head-shaking and wild dancing.
This kind of bar is more suitable for a few friends to listen to music and drink after work, and then chat and relax. This is why Lin Feng deliberately chose this place as the gathering point today. But the sudden noise broke the original atmosphere of the bar, which made Qin Wenhui a little unhappy.
