"Mr. Xu, there are some problems with your words. We just want to conduct normal business activities. It's not as serious as you say." Tim laughed dryly: "I wonder if Mr. Xu is interested?"
Xu Canglue was a little embarrassed: "But I have already reached an agreement with Airbus. It is not convenient for me to violate the agreement and provide you with additional information."
Previously, the hush money of 10 million yuan promised by Li Rongxian had already reached Yuanye Pharmaceutical. Liu Jinxin, the person in charge of Yuanye Pharmaceutical, was honest and did not just take the money. Instead, he allocated enough shares to Xu Cang in the form of equity investment. Now Xu Cang is the second boss of Yuanye Pharmaceutical.
Although Xu Cang is optimistic about Yuanye Pharmaceutical's future success in rapamycin, he doesn't care much about this aspect. He just regards it as an investment, and his future is still in civil aviation.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him, and one should be soft-hearted when given money. It doesn't seem very kind to take the money and then stab him in the back.
"Mr. Xu reached an agreement with Airbus, not with CFM." Tim said with a smile.
"You..." Xu Cang really didn't know how to answer. He really didn't expect that those so-called foreigners who valued rules were not as described by the public intellectuals.
It is true that he has reached an agreement with Airbus, and strictly speaking it has nothing to do with CFM. But CFM is the largest aircraft engine supplier for Airbus 320, and the two are deeply tied together, so how can they be measured separately?
IAE must be aware of this relationship, but he is still speaking against his conscience , making Xu Cang doubt whether the man in front of him is trying to trick him.
Xu Cang finally sighed: "If you are joking with me, then I tell you, this joke is not funny. If you are serious, then I advise you to give up this idea."
Tim was not annoyed either, and asked leisurely, "How much money did Airbus give you? We at IAE doubled it. There are no problems in this world that cannot be solved with money. If there is, it means that the money has not been paid enough. Mr. Xu, if you still have concerns, you only need to provide us with the details at that time, and it would be best if you could also explain the data changes of the engine at that time. We can keep Mr. Xu's identity secret, but at certain moments, we need Mr. Xu to be interviewed, and we will process the interview footage."
Xu Cang was stunned by IAE's money offensive. That was 20 million in 2000, a huge sum of money.
Sure enough, these upstream technology companies abroad are really stealing money. Moreover, they are not stealing money from one country, but from the whole world.
Airbus' hush money alone was 10 million, and IAE offered 20 million just to Xu Cang to provide some details of the incident and participate in the interview in order to discredit CFM in public opinion.
Even in the era of inflation twenty years later, this kind of heroism still made Xu Cang feel astonished.
However, even though Xu Cang was very tempted, he still shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
"Why can't you agree? The business world is like a battlefield. As long as there are enough interests, the so-called agreements are just waste paper. Agreements between countries can be torn up overnight, let alone the agreement between you and Airbus." Tim saw that Xu Cang was still unmoved, and he immediately became anxious. From their point of view, the conditions offered by IAE were already quite generous. Xu Cang didn't need to show up in person, and even Airbus couldn't find out that IAE's information channel came from Xu Cang.
Logically speaking, under such conditions, Xu Cang had no reason not to agree. As for the so-called credit, Tim felt that it was only a term that existed when the benefits were not big enough.
"Unless..." Tim's eyes sparkled. "Mr. Xu, do you have any other considerations? We understand the handling process of 9451. Mr. Xu's final no-radius turn operation is unprecedented. He managed to find a way out of the deadly situation. If you are amazing, I don't believe you can't weigh the pros and cons. Mr. Xu, what are your thoughts? Can you share them with us? We can talk about it."
Xu Cang looked at the sincere IAE representative, suddenly turned over a ceramic teacup, leisurely poured himself a glass of water, and then took a sip.
At the moment when the teacup was placed on the table with a clattering sound, Xu Cang finally spoke: "You are right, I have other concerns."
Tim suddenly became excited: "Mr. Xu, you can go ahead and say it."
"The most critical issue is only one..." Xu Cang raised a finger: "You IAE... are too weak."
As soon as these words came out, Tim's face immediately turned red, and it was obvious that he was not very emotional. However, he quickly suppressed his emotions and refuted in a calm tone: "Mr. Xu may not know much about our IAE company. Our V2500 engine is one of the most successful high bypass ratio engines in the world!"
"I know." Xu Cang smiled brightly: "But I still think the CFM56 engine is better, even with the 9451 incident."
It is said that competitors are enemies. The V2500 engine and CFM56 are the most direct competitors, but Xu Cang makes no secret of his preference for CFM56 and puts the V2500 in a relatively lower position.
Tim's face was obviously not very good. He forced out an ugly smile: "Mr. Xu, you are a little prejudiced."
"Am I biased?" Xu Cang's smile faded. "The third-stage blade base of your V2500 engine's high-pressure compressor has irregular wear, which will cause the engine to need to be replaced early. In severe cases, the third-stage blades may even break, and the entire engine will be scrapped."
"In addition, the fourth-stage blades have had cracks, and all the cracks started at the trailing edge of the root." Xu Cang said, his eyes fixed: "It's because the gap between the blade tip and the casing is too small. The friction at the trailing edge of the blade tip generates exchange stress and causes cracks, right?"
"Also, there were manufacturing process problems with the fifth-stage blades, and the stress concentration in the retaining plate groove of the blades. There are also problems with the root shape of the sixth and seventh-stage blades." Xu Cang curled his lips: "Do I need to say more?"
Tim's face changed when he heard this. These were common problems with the V2500 engine. However, Xu Cang was like an insider, pointing out the flaws of the V2500 clearly.
In fact, not all IAE insiders know this so clearly.
"You...how did you know?" Tim's face showed horror. He no longer dared to be disrespectful to the young man in front of him.
Xu Cang chuckled and said, "Don't make that expression. Although your V2500 engine has many problems, you have learned your lesson recently. You redesigned the shape of the blade root, increased the depth and width of the blade root, moved the blade installation position toward the pressure surface, and optimized the blade material. There are no problems with the fifth, sixth, and seventh stage blades. However, the problems with the third and fourth stages have not been solved well. However, there are also problems with the first and second stage air seals of your engine's high-pressure turbine. Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are really a lot of problems."
"Has your engine ever experienced the high-pressure turbine casing burning through?" Xu Cang suddenly asked.
Tim was stunned: "This... seems to have happened before."
Xu Cang snapped his fingers and said, "This is the problem with the external air seal of the first stage of the high-pressure turbine. It should be caused by the blockage of the external air seal cooling hole. So, your V2500 engine does not seem to be as easy to use as it looks."
In Xu Cang's words, IAE's flagship product seemed to be useless. And Tim seemed to have no reason to refute it, because the problems listed by Xu Cang were all real.
The representative of IAE didn't even dare to look up at Xu Cang. In Xu Cang's eyes, they were completely exposed.
Not far away, Qin Xin cast a subtle glance towards Xu Cang's table. She found that the white man in charge could still chat and laugh with Xu Cang at the beginning, but now his face seemed not to be very good.
"What's going on?" Due to the angle, Qin Xin could only see Xu Cang's back, and she had no idea what Xu Cang looked like.
Chen Huaxin was sitting opposite Qin Xin. He could not see anything at all, but he could see that Qin Xin's face was full of curiosity, which made Chen Huaxin feel like he was being scratched by a cat's claws.
"What's going on?"
Qin Xin squinted her eyes and looked at Tim, and said with certainty: "The atmosphere of the conversation seems to be wrong."
"Huh?" Chen Huaxin slammed the table immediately: "Are foreigners trying to act tough?"
Chen Huaxin was naturally wary of white people and was afraid that Xu Cang would suffer a loss.
"No, no!" Qin Xin hurriedly stopped him: "Why do I feel like Xu Cang is being arrogant? That foreigner seems to have suffered a loss."
"Ah?" Chen Huaxin immediately calmed down and pretended nothing happened: "It's okay then."
It's just such double standards, such differences in closeness and distance.
After waiting for a long time, Tim finally came to his senses. He took a deep breath and confessed to Xu Cang: "Mr. Xu, we will solve these problems."
"Of course I know you can solve it." Xu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly: "For example, V2500 Select One, right?"
At this moment, Tim stood up and stared at Xu Cang fiercely: "Mr. Xu, do you know what you are talking about?"
All of a sudden, the originally normal atmosphere of the conversation became tense. The bodyguard beside Tim was tense all over, like a leopard ready to pounce, looking extremely oppressive.
Qin Xin, who had been observing this side, also stood up immediately. Chen Huaxin turned around and realized that something was wrong. He and Qin Xin quickly came to Xu Cang.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Xin put one hand on Xu Cang's shoulder and stared at Tim fiercely like an angry lioness.
Tim didn't care about Qin Xin and Chen Huaxin. His eyes were always on Xu Cang: "Mr. Xu, what you just said is our most cutting-edge research project. How did you know about it?"
Faced with this situation, Xu Cang was not panicked at all. He leisurely moved the teacup on the table and said lightly: "V2500 Select One is a good engine, but it is still not as good as the LEAP series that CFM is about to launch. Whether it is Airbus or Boeing, their new generation of narrow-body aircraft upgrade plans will use the LEAP series engine as the preferred engine. This is the difference."
"You..." Tim was a little unsteady at this moment. Xu Cang not only knew about the improved V2500 Select One engine of V2500, but also knew about CFM's most advanced LEAP series engine project. This was simply incredible.
The most frightening thing is that Xu Cang even knew about the upgrade plans of Airbus and Boeing's narrow-body aircraft projects. You know, the upgrade plans of these two companies for the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 are still only in the concept stage and have not been substantially promoted at all.
However, Airbus and Boeing have indeed reserved space for CFM's LEAP engine, which is almost certain. This choice is also a major pain point for IAE.
Xu Cang directly hit the pain points of IAE, making Tim really embarrassed.
Xu Cang leaned back in his chair and said, "There is an old saying in our country, 'If you don't kill the snake, you will only hurt yourself.' I don't want to get involved in something that will only hurt CFM. If nothing unexpected happens, CFM's LEAP engine will also be used by us in the future. Why should I target it?"
In the future, CFM's LEAP series engines will be extended to three models, ABC, which will provide power for Airbus 320Neo, Boeing 737Max and the domestically produced C919 respectively.
Regardless of whether Xu Cang could cause any substantial harm to CFM, if it really affected CFM's new engine development plan, he would also be harmed in the future. After all, at least when Xu Cang was reborn, China had not yet successfully developed an aircraft engine with sufficiently reliable performance.
"I heard that you are also going to develop your own large aircraft. If you are worried about the future power system, IAE can also provide help." Tim said seriously: "The development progress of the V2500 Select One engine is very optimistic. It is an excellent enough aircraft engine. Whether it is fuel consumption rate, engine use time, greenhouse gas emissions, or exhaust temperature margin, it will be improved. It is definitely the best among similar aircraft engines. I believe it is enough to provide power for your large aircraft."
Xu Cang also responded with a very sincere attitude: "But I prefer CFM's LEAP series engines."
In fact, Xu Cang didn’t know much about aircraft engines. The main reason was that the C919 was chosen in this way. He believed in the vision of the developers of those large aircraft.
"Xu Cang, you are so...stubborn." Tim was so anxious that he called him by his name: "Then Mr. Xu, what do you want us to do in exchange for your cooperation?"
Xu Cang was puzzled. "Why should I cooperate with you? I never do such childish tricks. Unless you can come up with a powerful enough engine, at least comparable to the LEAP series engine."
Xu Cang believed that with CFM's capabilities, even if IAE tried its best to conceal it, they would most likely know that IAE's information came from them. Wouldn't that offend CFM? If it implicated the subsequent procurement of power systems for domestic large aircraft, it would be a serious crime.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Xu Cang feels that IAE is simply not going to be able to completely defeat CFM with the recent CFM56 engine explosion. Such a provocation will only make CFM extremely angry, and when the gods fight, it is likely that innocent people will be affected.
If Xu Cang felt that there was a chance to beat CFM directly, he would still be willing to give it a try. After all, Xu Cang was very courageous.
Tim was already a little unhappy: "In my mind, the future V2500 Select One engine is no less than the LEAP series. This is a matter of opinion. How can I know your inner judgment criteria? What do you think is a good engine?"
There are many good aircraft engines in the world, but there is absolutely no perfect engine. After all, each has its own strengths. Some have low fuel consumption, some are durable, and some are powerful. It mainly depends on which aspect of performance the demander values, and this is quite subjective.
Xu Cang's eyes lit up: "For example, a super fan engine?"
Tim was stunned: "Super Fan? Super Fan?"
Xu Cang rolled his eyes: "What SuperFan? That obsolete engine developed for the Airbus 340. Do you think I would be interested in that kind of thing?"
IAE once designed an engine for the Airbus 340, named SuperFan. But later, due to some reasons, the project was terminated. Finally, the Airbus 340 chose the CFM56 and Pratt & Whitney 4000 engines.
Tim himself was a little embarrassed: "I'm overthinking. What is the super fan you mentioned? I can't think of it."
"Rolls-Royce of the UK is one of your shareholders, right? Why don't you go ask them?" Xu Cang finally revealed his true intention: "The name is not SuperFan, but UltraFan"
Tim finally came to his senses. IAE is a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney of the United States, Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom, Japan Aero Engine Corporation and MTU Aero Engines of Germany. I didn't expect Xu Cang to be interested in the technology of his own shareholders.
"UltraFan..." Tim searched carefully in his mind. After a long time, he was sure that he had never heard of this term. It seemed that this project was also the most cutting-edge project in Rolls-Royce, but Xu Cang knew it accurately. It was unimaginable: "Mr. Xu, it seems that you know a lot."
Xu Cang was not panicked at all: "I know more than you think. IAE is a giant in aviation engines after all. A giant should have the spirit of a giant. Can this method make V2500 surpass CFM56? If you want to do it, you have to kill it with one blow, not this child's play."
At this point, Tim's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Kill him with one strike? That's easier said than done."
Since its establishment, IAE has been suppressed by CFM and has no possibility of turning over. But when it comes to Xu Cang, he even wants to kill CFM with one blow. No matter from which angle, this is ridiculous.
However, Xu Cang said with great confidence: "We should have another opportunity to cooperate in the future, but it depends on whether you have the ability to seize this unique opportunity."
Tim didn't quite understand what Xu Cang meant, and Xu Cang naturally didn't explain to him, so he just waved his hand and said, "That's it. Thank you for this time."
"Thank you... us? Why do you say that?" Tim seemed to be completely unable to keep up with Xu Cang's thinking speed and was led by Xu Cang.
Xu Cang smiled brightly: "Thank you for coming to see me. Well, let's work together again if we have the chance in the future!"
After saying that, Xu Cang didn't say anything else, but led Qin Xin and Chen Huaxin out first.
It wasn't until they left the coffee shop that Qin Xin came closer and asked curiously, "What exactly is that super fan you just mentioned? Is it an aircraft engine?"
"No!" Xu Cang shook his head: "It is an engine's CTi fan system."
"C..." Qin Xin wanted to ask again, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea. It seemed that she should not be too curious about certain areas.
However, there was one thing that Qin Xin was very concerned about: "Why did you thank them just now? I don't quite understand."
If it were someone else, Xu Cang probably wouldn't explain it in detail, but with Qin Xin, Xu Cang had almost infinite patience. He said, "CFM's CFM56 engine and IAE's V2500 engine are both used on Airbus 320 aircraft. The two are in direct competition. If the 9451 incident continues, airlines will be more and more inclined to choose V2500 engines, which will be a great loss to CFM's interests."
Qin Xin was no fool, and immediately understood what Xu Cang meant: "If the people at CFM knew that IAE came to you, it would mean that IAE wanted to take the opportunity to suppress it, and CFM would naturally be more anxious to settle the 9451 incident."
"That's right!" Xu Cang smiled. "No matter what the result of my discussion with IAE is, the fact that IAE contacted me will stimulate CFM. In order to eliminate the hidden dangers, CFM will definitely urge Airbus to deal with the 9451 incident as soon as possible. In this way, it will be a great thing for us. Only when there are more external forces forcing Airbus, will they be more likely to compromise."
Qin Xin suddenly realized: "It is true, it is true!"
However, Chen Huaxin, who was walking next to Xu Cang, had a confused look on his face and had no idea what Xu Cang was talking about.
…
On the same day, Xu Cang and Chen Huaxin found a place to have a meal and discussed Duan Lang's matter. Originally, Xu Cang wanted to visit Duan Lang as it was still early, but after asking Chen Huaxin, he found out that Duan Lang was not at home for the past two days, so the visit plan had to be abandoned.
Chen Huaxin asked Xu Cang for a number and promised him that he would notify him as soon as Duan Lang came back. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Cang said goodbye to Chen Huaxin, and he followed Qin Xin to a small courtyard next to the airport.
The main building of this yard is a three-story building. There is also a two-story building that looks like a dormitory next to it. It is surrounded by a low brick wall. The ground in the yard is still mud and there is nothing laid on it.
Qin Xin led Xu Cang in and introduced him, "We will live here before our base building is completed."
Xu Cang looked around for a long time and found that the yard was very close to the airport. Even if you walk there, it will only take you about ten minutes. If you take a car, you will arrive within five minutes. It is quite convenient.
However, because it was too close to the airport, the surroundings were very desolate. At least as far as the eye could see, Xu Cang could not see any other buildings except the airport building.
"What was this yard used for?" Xu Cang asked curiously.
"It was originally a temporary residence for construction managers during the airport construction. After the airport was built, no one lived here anymore, so I bought it." Qin Xin pointed to the three-story main building: "The three-story building will be used as an administrative office building, and the two-story building will be used as a dormitory. There are not many people here now, so it should be livable."
Xu Cang looked at the two-story building that was to be used as a dormitory and thought to himself: "It will probably be very crowded. Let's do this for now. If the dormitory in the back is not enough, we can vacate a floor of the office building."
Offices can be crowded together, but dormitories are private places, so it is not convenient to squeeze in. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Xu Cang will try his best to ensure that each person has a room. Of course, if someone likes to live together, Xu Cang thinks it is just right.
"Well, let's see later." Qin Xin was actually thinking that if he built a base in the airport work area later, he would not build the administrative building first, but build the dormitory building first, because the dormitory has far more rooms than the administrative offices.
Whether it is the ground administrative staff or the front-line flight crew, there are basically no locals from Erhai City, so they can only live in the company, and the demand for dormitories is huge.
Of course, if the company develops in the future, it will gradually recruit people from the surrounding areas, which can reduce the labor costs of some companies.
However, how to build the base would have to wait until she met Duan Lang. She was not a professional either, and she did not give orders randomly based on her ideas. She needed to make suggestions as much as possible under the premise of professional personnel taking charge.
The two chatted as they entered the yard, where two vehicles were parked, a minibus and a van. The minibus looked new from the paint job, with the Blue Sky Airlines logo on it, while the van was a bit older, with no particularly obvious logo on it.
"I just bought that minibus, and it will be used as the crew car to pick you up. We are still nominally a branch base of Blue Sky Airlines, so the paint job is based on Blue Sky Airlines's. When we become independent, I will have the car's paint job changed." Qin Xin was like a child introducing his toy: "That minibus is second-hand, and we usually use it to go to the city to purchase supplies regularly, and sometimes we can also pick up people who want to go to the city to play."
The area around Erhai Airport is too remote and there is nothing there, let alone entertainment activities. Even basic daily necessities are not easy to get, so a car for shopping to and from the city is necessary.
Actually, you can buy it at the airport, but it's really too expensive.
Qin Xin smiled and said, "One advantage of being here is that water and electricity are readily available, so we don't have to worry about it. However, the telephone line here is not connected yet, and I guess a technician will come over to fix it tomorrow."
Qin Xin pointed to the rightmost room on the first floor of the three-story building and said, "That room has the largest space. I plan to turn it into a canteen. And over there, in the corner of the first floor of the dormitory building, we need to build a boiler room there so that hot water can be supplied all year round. Although this place is quite remote, there is a hot spring not far away where we can take a bath occasionally."
Xu Cang just listened to Qin Xin talking about her plan like a lark. At this time, Xu Cang could feel the difference between men and women.
He always thought about the general direction of the future, while Qin Xin was concerned about paving the yard with cement, building a flower bed in the middle, painting the outside of the building, and installing an antenna so that every dormitory room could receive TV signals.
The two of them walked back and forth in the small yard. At the beginning, Xu Cang would occasionally say a word or two, but later it was Qin Xin who was chattering all the time, as if they could talk until tomorrow morning.
I don't know how long they talked. As night fell, under the dim light in the courtyard, Qin Xin's eyes were still shining brighter than the sun: "When the base is built, I will buy a residential area in the city. I can't let my employees live in such a remote place. Don't you agree, Xu Cang?"
When she was excited, Qin Xin turned to look at Xu Cang. Her bright eyes seemed to contain the most cheerful spirit, full of the best hopes for the future. She just looked at Xu Cang, as if she couldn't wait to share her joy with him.
That’s right, just thinking about the future picture , Qin Xin couldn’t help feeling happy and satisfied.
Looking at Qin Xin's smiling face, Xu Cang's thoughts flew away like a group of fluttering butterflies. In the future, Xu Cang and Qin Xin supported each other. Whenever Xu Cang encountered any troubles at work, he would pull Qin Xin to talk endlessly. At this time, Qin Xin would only listen patiently beside him.
Now that time has turned around, Xu Cang has become the listener, and all kinds of feelings are coming to his mind. He has thought more than once that if he was not reborn, but traveled to a parallel world, then he would have died in the previous world, and Qin Xin would have to live alone?
Whenever he thought of this, whenever he thought of this possibility, Xu Cang felt his heart broken. He would rather have only one world, and that world would come again because of his rebirth. But if he left Qin Xin behind and traveled through it alone, how could he bear to leave Qin Xin there?
Xu Cang raised his right hand and gently stroked Qin Xin's face. Qin Xin's confused and nervous face was reflected in his pupils. She did not dodge and just let Xu Cang stroke her.
It was not known how long it had passed before Xu Cang felt the scorching heat coming from his palm. When he came to his senses, Qin Xin's face had become like a ripe fruit, ready to be picked, extremely tempting.
Xu Cang quickly retracted his right hand, his heart pounding like a deer. He had done something abrupt while his thoughts were scattered. He quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Um... just come over tomorrow to adjust the machine, right?"
"Um, well, instructor Mo Shangyun will fly a plane here tomorrow morning, and the first flight will be the day after tomorrow." Qin Xin gathered his thoughts, but he still looked a little nervous.
Xu Cang hummed. He knew that Instructor Mo Shangyun was coming. Instructor Mo had trained at Erhai Airport when he was in the military aviation. He was very familiar with the airport and was considered the best candidate to lead the team.
"Yeah, that's good." At this time, in such a strange atmosphere, Xu Cang didn't know what to say or do, so he pointed to the three-story building and said, "Take me to the administrative building."
"Ah? Oh!" Qin Xin was obviously absent-minded. After a moment's reaction, she hurried forward: "Come with me."
The two men walked across the dirt road in the yard and came to the middle room on the first floor. There was a light in the room, and they could hear the sound of someone working inside before they entered.
Stepping in, Xu Cang first saw a man and a woman inside. At this moment, the room was already furnished with various desks and filing cabinets, which Qin Xin had already prepared some time ago.
One of the young and energetic girls put down her work as soon as she saw Qin Xin coming in, and greeted her with a smile: "Boss Qin."
Qin Xin introduced Zhao Ning to Xu Cang: "This is Zhao Ning, an intern of the group. He is hardworking and diligent. I am coming here and will be an employee here in the future."
At the same time, Qin Xin also introduced Zhao Ning: "This is Xu Cang, our pilot in the future."
Zhao Ning looked thin, but he always had a smile on his face, and his eyes were always curved into crescents. When he heard Qin Xin's introduction, he quickly shouted, "Hello, Brother Xu!"
"No, no, no, don't call me that." Xu Cang quickly waved his hand: "I'm only a few years older than you, you're calling me old."
As he spoke, Xu Cang's eyes fell on the young man who seemed to be fiddling with the wires in the corner of the room, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Is that also one of our employees ?"
Before Qin Xin could speak, Zhao Ning spoke first: "He is my brother, Zhao Fei! He graduated from the computer department and will be mainly responsible for computer network affairs in the future. Brother Xu, don't look at him as dull, but he works very hard, has an active mind, and can endure hardships."
Although Qin Xin introduced Xu Cang as just a pilot, Zhao Ning saw the scene of Xu Cang and Qin Xin walking in the yard for a long time before. She could tell that when Xu Cang and Qin Xin were together , it was actually Xu Cang who made the decisions.
Her brother was born with a wooden head. He finally went to college, but he couldn't find a good job in these years. Qin Xin was finally willing to hire him. Zhao Ning didn't want to cause Xu Cang's disgust because of Zhao Fei's shortcomings in dealing with people, so he was finally fired.
However, Xu Cang didn't care much about these. He was just a little curious because the name Zhao Fei sounded familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on the person.
Perhaps Zhao Ning was a little angry because he realized that his brother was still busy working and didn't notice the boss coming. He was really irritated to be so disrespectful to the boss. He was afraid that his brother would leave a bad impression on the boss, so he hurriedly shouted to the corner: "Brother, stop working, Mr. Qin is coming."
At this time, Zhao Fei, who was hiding in the corner, finally realized what was happening. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Cang, then put down the tools in his hands and trotted over.
When Zhao Fei came closer, Xu Cang was stunned. He saw that Zhao Fei was wearing glasses, was thin, and looked like a scholar. If an ordinary person saw him at first glance, he would not think there was anything special. But Xu Cang was struck by lightning. He immediately remembered why Zhao Fei felt familiar.
Isn’t this Zhao Fei the founder of the future national communication software “Fei TALK”?
In the later life, Xu Cang had seen the real Zhao Fei. Although Zhao Fei at this moment still had the aura of an ivory tower, his face was very similar to the Zhao Fei in Xu Cang's impression, and the name also matched, so this time it was definitely true.
Qin Xin was very careful. Seeing Xu Cang's expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Xu Cang, what's wrong?"
Xu Cang suppressed his inner restlessness. The man in front of him was the future leader of a leading domestic Internet company. He didn't expect that he would be working for himself at this time. Life was really magical.
Xu Cang did not answer Qin Xin, but stretched out his hand towards Zhao Fei: "Brother Zhao Fei, what were you doing before?"
Xu Cang's action startled Qin Xin, who was standing beside him. She really didn't expect Xu Cang to be so polite. Although Xu Cang seemed to be easy to get along with, he was actually very arrogant. This was the first time Qin Xin had seen such a solemn greeting gift.
Zhao Fei didn't expect Xu Cang to shake hands with him. Looking at his dirty hands, he shyly said, "My hands are a little dirty. Before, I was... starting my own business."
"What do you mean by self-employed?" Zhao Ning was furious when he heard this: "You've been tinkering with some software at home for several years, but you haven't made a penny."
Being complained by his own sister, Zhao Fei felt ashamed. However, although Zhao Ning often complained about him, she was really good to him. In recent years, he has been busy with software development, and most of his living expenses were funded by Zhao Ning, so even if Zhao Ning said something unpleasant, Zhao Fei would not refute it.
Qin Xin didn't think there was anything special about it, but Xu Cang's eyes sparkled. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked in a calm tone: "Oh, you open software yourself? Can you tell me what software it is?"
"Hmm?" When Xu Cang said this, Qin Xin immediately heard the difference in Xu Cang's tone. Even though Xu Cang tried his best to hide it, Qin Xin could still sense the excitement in his words.
Zhao Ning was not familiar with Zhao Fei and Xu Cang, so he did not feel anything special. Zhao Fei thought Xu Cang was just curious and did not think much about it: "It's just a little thing I made casually, not worth mentioning."
Xu Cang laughed and said, "Tell me about it. I am still very interested in network technology."
"My brother is developing a chat software, what's it called?" Zhao Ning didn't have so many thoughts, so he planned to tell Xu Cang about it. But he just couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhao Fei reluctantly reminded him: "Fei TALK! To be precise, that is called instant messaging software."
"Yes, yes, it's FeiTALK." Zhao Ning patted Zhao Fei on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xu, how much money can you make from a chat software? My family paid for him to go to college, but after graduation he spent all day tinkering with this and didn't make a penny in return."
Zhao Fei's face flushed: "I believe this software will have a big market in the future."
"What market? You said this software should be free. How can you make money with free software?" Zhao Ning obviously disagreed with his brother's idea. He asked Xu Cang for his opinion: "Brother Xu, what do you think? If you make this software, which is free, how much money can you make? Isn't it just a waste of energy?"
"Okay, Zhao Ning, everyone has an ideal!" Qin Xin advised.
Zhao Ning has obviously been dissatisfied with his savings for a long time: "Ideals also have to have a limit. What's the point of having ideals without a future? We ordinary people just want to make some money and live. If he makes some money anyway, I have no objection. Now we only make money but don't spend it. If something happens in the future, what can we do with our savings?"
Qin Xin comforted him: "I heard that Internet companies are still very popular now. What if your brother's software becomes popular later?"
"It's become a trend, but are we destined to have it?" Zhao Ning said dejectedly. It seemed that she was really tired in these years.
On the side, Xu Cang looked at Zhao Fei, who was also somewhat discouraged, and his heart was extremely excited. He really wanted to tell Zhao Fei and Zhao Ning that this ideal not only had a future but also a 2 trillion future.
