Chapter 368: The father of USB flash drives can only work
Huang Jijiao's face froze when she saw Huang Dongheng's huge request. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "One million? Where did our family get one million? Huang Dongheng, what on earth do you want to do?"
This number shocked not only Li Changjian and Huang Jijiao, but even someone like Li Quanwang who had no concept of money.
"Fourth uncle, if you asked to borrow a few hundred thousand, I wouldn't say much for the sake of our relationship. But you asked for a million. Do you think I'm an ATM or a money-printing machine? No!"
Li Quanwang yelled loudly, but he did not lie, he really did not have so much cash on hand now. After all, Tongxin Internet Cafe had not paid dividends for a long time, and instead was expanding by borrowing money.
That is to say, as a small shareholder only holds 1% of the shares, so the amount subscribed is not high.
As for the other cash earned by following Lu Yiming's various businesses, Li Quanwang also bought some stocks with appreciation potential under Lu Yiming's guidance and hoarded them, but they could not be converted into cash in a hurry.
So apart from his dislike for Huang Dongheng, Li Quanwang couldn't have come up with one million anyway.
Although Huang Jijiao didn't know the inside story, she knew how much one million yuan meant. So when facing her brother Huang Dongheng, she was helpless: "Dongheng, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money, but our family really doesn't have that much money. If you asked for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, your brother-in-law and I could get it together. But now you're asking for one million yuan, we really can't do anything."
One million was an astronomical figure for her, an ordinary housewife who had never seen the world. It was something she had never dared to think about before.
However, Huang Dongheng, who regarded Li Quanwang as a fat sheep, became unhappy when he heard her words.
Huang Dongheng stiffened his neck and said in a rough voice: "Sister, you are watching someone die without helping him, do you know that? Can you bear to see Xiaohong go to jail? If she really goes to jail, our whole family will be ruined. You live in such a big villa, I don't believe you can't even take out one million. Don't think I don't know anything, I am also a person who has seen the world after all!"
Seeing that Huang Dongheng was still not giving in, Huang Jijiao was so anxious that she was at a loss. She could only patiently explain to him: "We really don't have this money. How can we give it to you?"
Huang Dongheng obviously didn't intend to give up. Instead, he put on a matter-of-fact face and said, "Your villa is so luxuriously decorated, it must be worth a lot of money. Can't you just sell it? I only want one million. I don't want more than that."
Upon hearing this, Li Quanwang was so angry that he didn't care about being an elder anymore. He pointed at Huang Dongheng's nose and cursed, "Huang Dongheng, can you have some shame? I told you before not to be fooled. It was your greed that made you fall for the scammers. Why do you want me to sell my house to help you pay off your debts? Is there such a thing in the world!"
Although he had always known that his fourth uncle was shameless, Li Quanwang once again overestimated Huang Dongheng's moral bottom line.
This person is really shameless and can even make such a request.
Facing the angry Li Quanwang, Huang Dongheng said arrogantly, "Li Quanwang! Watch your tone! I'm your uncle!"
Huang Dongheng then looked at Li Changjian and Huang Jijiao and said angrily, "We are relatives, blood is thicker than water. Now I am in trouble, why don't you help me? Aren't you afraid that people will find out and poke you in the back? They say that you live in such a nice big villa and don't care about your relatives going to jail. How do you think people in the village will look at you in the future?"
"this……"
Chinese people have never believed in ghosts and gods, and they are only full of awe for their clans. Huang Jijiao was not afraid of anything else, but when Huang Dongxu mentioned the matter of poking someone in the back, she hesitated.
Li Quanwang said unhappily: "Get lost, you are not welcome in our home."
As he said that, he pushed Huang Dongheng outside.
After watching Li Quanwang drive Huang Dongheng away, Lu Yiming finally spoke up: "We are all adults now, and we should pay for our own mistakes. How can we let Wangzi sell his house and get broke for him?"
Li Quanwang snorted, "That's right, they deserve it!"
He wanted to wholeheartedly agree with Tian Jiahong going to jail. People like him who have no sense at all should go to jail for reform.
If nothing unexpected happens, Huang Dongheng will probably be left with nothing soon.
Lu Yiming sighed, "If your uncle had run the Internet cafe properly and not been greedy or reckless, how could he have ended up in such a situation? As expected, if a person always wants to take shortcuts, he will fall into trouble sooner or later."
Li Quanwang couldn't help but complain: "How dare you say such things? I feel like you are much more extravagant than my fourth uncle. When have you ever done something that didn't make people nervous?"
At Baiyun Airport, Cheng Xiaohua set foot on the land of his motherland again with a lot of questions in his mind.
Just a week ago, he was working in Singapore, but suddenly someone from a headhunting company found him and said that someone in the country was willing to offer him several times the salary and promised to make him the head of the R&D department.
Cheng Xiaohua was very excited after listening to this. After handing over the work at hand, he immediately flew to Baiyun.
As soon as he got off the plane, he saw a man standing at the exit holding a sign with his name on it.
He walked over, and the man holding the sign quickly said, "Hello, I'm Wei Jianjun, Mr. Lu's bodyguard. Are you Mr. Cheng Xiaohua? Mr. Lu specifically asked me to come pick you up. Let's go to the hotel to put our things away and rest for half an hour. Mr. Lu will prepare a welcoming dinner for you."
Seeing how considerate Lu Yiming's arrangements were, Cheng Xiaohua began to have a better impression of Lu Yiming, whom she had not yet met. She nodded slightly and said, "It's me."
Wei Jianjun brought Cheng Xiaohua to the Mercedes-Benz S and opened the back door.
"please."
Mercedes-Benz S is considered a luxury car not only in China but also abroad. Cheng Xiaohua was very satisfied with the reception.
The hotel where Wei Jianjun and Cheng Xiaohua stayed was the Zhenbao Restaurant that Lu Yiming had just taken over from Liang Shuzhen. Not only was the accommodation environment very good, but the food was also very good. Lu Yiming prepared a private room for Cheng Xiaohua in the hotel's dining area.
About an hour later, Cheng Xiaohua, feeling full of energy after a short rest, met Lu Yiming in the box.
When Cheng Xiaohua saw Lu Yiming for the first time, he was shocked. After all, he would never have expected that the boss who had spent five times the salary to recruit him back was actually a young boy.
Seeing Cheng Xiaohua coming in, Lu Yiming stood up to greet him and said, "Mr. Cheng, please take a seat. Let me introduce myself first. I am Lu Yiming from Mingyuan Technology."
"Hello."
Cheng Xiaohua is a technician. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Generally, technicians think highly of themselves and look down on capitalists who have a few filthy sums of money. What's more, this capitalist is a guy who hasn't even grown up yet. As the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips cannot do anything. What can such a little guy do?
Cheng Xiaohua suddenly felt that his decision to return to China was a bit hasty.
Of course, Lu Yiming didn't know what Cheng Xiaohua was thinking. He said enthusiastically, "Mr. Cheng, please take a seat. I am very happy that Mr. Cheng is willing to come back from afar this time. I admire Mr. Cheng's technical achievements very much, and I want to work with Mr. Cheng to create a better world and join in the great cause."
Cheng Xiaohua was unmoved by these nice words. He said expressionlessly, "I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to do?"
Lu Yiming randomly took out the project book from the USB drive, asked someone to put it in front of Cheng Xiaohua, and said with a smile: "I want to make this thing."
Although he already has a patent, the patent application does not require a physical product, only the principle needs to be explained, so Lu Yiming cannot produce a sample now. This is also the reason why he spent a lot of money to invite Cheng Xiaohua, the original inventor of the USB flash drive, back from here in advance.
Let Cheng Xiaohua reinvent what he once invented, but the patent rights are no longer in Cheng Xiaohua's hands.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
When Cheng Xiaohua first saw the project book, he didn't feel very impressed, until he saw Lu Yiming's product description of this thing, he immediately couldn't sit still.
"This is a great thing. Who came up with this?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "That's me."
"you?"
Cheng Xiaohua looked at Lu Yiming in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
After getting a positive answer, Cheng Xiaohua's eyes when looking at Lu Yiming suddenly changed.
It was really extraordinary that such a young man had such a keen insight and came up with such a magical idea. Cheng Xiaohua could even tell from this project book that Lu Yiming really understood technology, because he described the core technology of the USB flash drive quite accurately, which was not something that those half-baked inventors could compare to.
Edison once said: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. But the one percent inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Lu Yiming listed all the functions and principles of the USB flash drive. It can be said that he has taken ninety-nine steps towards the birth of the USB flash drive. Only the last step is left before the USB flash drive can truly come into the market.
Making something is never a difficult thing. The difficult part is how to think of making such a thing and how to make it with the current technical conditions.
Lu Yiming asked, "How is it? I hope you can organize a team as soon as possible to tackle the technical problems. Make this thing for me. Once you make this thing called a USB flash drive, you will go down in history forever. People in the future will respectfully call you the 'Father of USB Flash Drive' when they mention your name."
The front-end technologies of USB flash drives have basically been developed. Now it is just a matter of integrating the technologies and producing finished products before anyone discovers them.
In the previous life, the technical patent of USB flash drives finally fell into the hands of Deng Guoshun and Cheng Xiaohua, so that other similar products had to be renamed USB flash drives.
Compared to Deng Guoshun, who is good at networking and has accumulated experience in personnel management, Lu Yiming prefers Cheng Xiaohua because he is truly passionate about technology.
As a reborn person, Lu Yiming does not need Deng Guoshun to provide ideas and directions. Instead, high-end technology geeks like Cheng Xiaohua are his target.
Hearing the title of "Father of USB Flash Drive", Cheng Xiaohua's heart was filled with excitement. Life is all about fame and fortune. As a technology geek, Cheng Xiaohua knew how big the market prospect of USB flash drives was, and the title of "Father of USB Flash Drive" gave Cheng Xiaohua a huge temptation in terms of "fame".
As long as he can make this thing, Cheng Xiaohua will gain both fame and fortune.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaohua couldn't wait to say: "No problem, I have many friends in the United States, I can call them all back."
Lu Yiming said happily: "Okay, as long as they are talented, I welcome them all. You don't have to worry about the salary, I can definitely offer the highest price in the world. There is a golden house in the book, and I will never let anyone with talent suffer."
Now that the matter has been said, it should be settled. But Cheng Xiaohua is not a person who has never seen the world. Now that the big picture has been drawn, it is natural to talk about the practical aspects. He asked, "I wonder how much resources Mr. Lu plans to put into this thing?"
Lu Yiming smiled faintly and said confidently: "You can rest assured about this. Let's eat first, and I'll take you to see it after dinner."
After dinner, Lu Yiming brought Cheng Xiaohua to the headquarters of the newly established Mingyuan Technology.
This is a modern factory building with six floors.
The snow-white walls reflected the dazzling sunlight, as if they were made of krypton gold.
This electronics factory is naturally one of Zheng Youyuan's industries. After Mingyuan Technology was established, it was included in Zheng Youyuan's investment at a discount and used as a production line for USB flash drives in the future.
Seeing such a huge and modern factory building, as well as the glittering golden words "Mingyuan Technology" at the entrance of the factory building, the last bit of doubt in Cheng Xiaohua's heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss Lu is really anxious. Even the factory building has been built."
Lu Yiming did not shy away from saying, "Of course we are anxious. The principle of this thing is not complicated, and the difficulty of research and development and production is not high. As long as someone thinks of it, it can be developed at any time. So in fact, we are also racing against time."
Cheng Xiaohua deeply agreed with Lu Yiming's statement.
Lu Yiming continued, "I plan to give you 10 million in research and development funds. You should set up a laboratory as soon as possible and recruit semiconductor talents. I want to see the first version of the finished product in two months at most."
The wave of the new era is rolling in, time is running out, and Lu Yiming naturally does not want to miss the opportunity.
It would be really painful if we end up having a patent dispute with some weird company.
Seeing such a large factory in front of him and 10 million yuan in funding, Cheng Xiaohua was excited.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Just do it!
