Chapter 782 Different Opinions
Originally, Song Yuanchao planned to stay in Pengcheng for a few more days to deal with Shenghua Electronics' matters and then go back.
But unexpectedly, Zheng Li gave birth suddenly. After receiving the news from Uncle Li, Song Yuanchao laughed happily for a long time, and then he remembered to call Lin Yan.
He told Lin Yan that he was going to Hong Kong. Lin Yan, who had already known the news, of course understood. If she hadn't been tied up in Shanghai and her daughter was still young, she would have gone there with Song Yuanchao. On the phone, Lin Yan told Song Yuanchao that she would not go there this time, and asked him to congratulate Li Daqi and his wife on her behalf. In addition, she had already prepared a gift for Li Daqi's child, which was in the safe at home in Hong Kong.
Song Yuanchao didn't know about this. If Lin Yan hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known. Unexpectedly, Lin Yan had already prepared it, which saved Song Yuanchao the trouble of choosing a gift. Just now, Song Yuanchao was still thinking about what gift to bring for the child.
After chatting with Lin Yan on the phone for a while, Song Yuanchao called Zheng Guoyuan in Nanjing after hanging up and told him the good news.
Zheng Guoyuan was surprised and happy when he heard this. Song Yuanchao asked him on the phone if he wanted to fly to Pengcheng immediately and go to Hong Kong with him. Zheng Guoyuan considered it and rejected the suggestion.
Firstly, the acquisition of Youmin Factory had just been completed, and Zheng Guoyuan had not yet finished many follow-up tasks, so he could not leave.
Secondly, he is different from Song Yuanchao. If he wants to go to Hong Kong, he has to go through the formalities in advance. Now Hong Kong has not yet returned to China. The application for a pass to Hong Kong from the mainland is rather complicated. It takes a lot of time from application to approval. Even with the help of the Si Te Company, it will take several days to complete.
Anyway, he already knew the news, and also learned from Song Yuanchao that Zheng Li and the child were fine, so he, as the eldest brother-in-law, was relieved. He just asked Song Yuanchao to help him convey his thoughts, and when Zheng Li and the child returned to Pengcheng, his work here was almost done, so he could just go to Pengcheng to see them.
Song Yuanchao crossed the border to Hong Kong the next day. As soon as he passed through the border, he saw the car sent by Qin Zhengguo waiting for him not far outside the border.
After getting in the car, he went home first, packed his luggage, went to the room, opened the safe and took out the gift for the child, and then took a car to the hospital where Zheng Li was currently.
Song Yuanchao was very familiar with the hospital where Zheng Li gave birth, because Lin Yan gave birth to her daughter in this hospital, and Ying Caixia also gave birth to her child in this hospital.
When I got there, I saw that Li Daqi was there to take care of Zheng Li as expected. Zheng Li was lying on the bed in the ward, and Li Daqi was sitting beside her and talking to her. There was a cradle next to her. They both looked at the baby in the cradle with happiness in their eyes.
"Congratulations!" After knocking on the door, Song Yuanchao walked in with a smile.
"Why are you here? Aren't you in Pengcheng?" Seeing that it was Song Yuanchao who came, Li Daqi stood up unexpectedly, and Zheng Li also subconsciously wanted to sit up.
"Don't move, don't move. You just gave birth, so rest well." Song Yuanchao hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile, "Uncle Li called me yesterday. How could I not come for such a big event? Besides, I'm your kid's godfather."
As he spoke, Song Yuanchao handed over the gift in his hand: "Here, I wish you a happy birth of a baby boy, and that the child will be healthy and happy."
"Haha, thank you, thank you..." Li Daqi, who had just become a father, happily accepted Song Yuanchao's gift. It was a palm-sized brocade box. He opened it and saw the object inside. He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but said to Song Yuanchao: "Yuanchao, your gift..."
"Yan Zi helped prepare this. What's your relationship with me? No matter how good the gift is, can it outweigh our friendship? Besides, this is for my godson." Song Yuanchao waved his hand.
Li Daqi nodded silently, put away the gift and handed it to Zheng Li.
"Xiao Li, your elder brother can't come for the time being. He told me on the phone to tell you to take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Your parents at home have already been notified, so don't worry. After the confinement period is over, take the child back to Pengcheng, and your elder brother and parents will find time to come and see you and the child."
"Thank you, Brother Song." Zheng Li said gratefully.
Song Yuanchao leaned over to look at the child. The child was just one day old and was sleeping soundly.
The little guy hasn't grown up yet, but his facial features resemble those of Li Daqi and Zheng Li, and he has taken the advantages of both. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up. Song Yuanchao couldn't help but praise the child for being so beautiful. Li Daqi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and Zheng Li was even more happy.
After sitting and chatting for a while, we heard some noise at the door. I turned around and saw that it was Uncle Li and Aunt Dong who came with a thermos bucket in their hands.
"Yuanchao, why are you here? When did you arrive?" Aunt Dong was very happy to see Song Yuanchao there when she entered the house. Uncle Li was surprised but also felt that it was reasonable. After all, they had talked on the phone yesterday. There was no need to explain the relationship between the two families, and it would be polite to say too much.
"I just got here a while ago." Song Yuanchao stood up and offered his seat. Aunt Dong put down the thermos in her hand and casually asked Song Yuanchao if he had eaten. She cooked chicken soup for him. Would you like a bowl? How could Song Yuanchao drink it? He didn't have the face to compete with a pregnant woman for chicken soup. This thing was for Zheng Li.
After saying a few words, Song Yuanchao saw that the room was crowded and busy, and Zheng Li would have to feed her baby later, so he left first, and Li Daqi followed him out of the ward.
"Is Xiaoyun here too? I'll go over and take a look."
"Yes, it's just in front. I'll take you there." Li Daqi said, pointing in a direction.
Li Xiaoyun was about to give birth, and it would take no more than half a month, so this time Zheng Li moved in with Li Xiaoyun as well.
The two went to Li Xiaoyun's side. Li Xiaoyun, who had just woken up, was lying there looking at the ceiling, feeling a little bored. When she saw her elder brother and Song Yuanchao coming together, she happily turned over and got out of bed . Song Yuanchao was startled by her speed.
"Why are you in such a hurry, girl? Be careful with such a big belly."
"Oh my, I'm so bored!" Li Xiaoyun complained as soon as she saw Song Yuanchao, "It was fine before my parents came, but now they keep a close eye on me and won't even let me out of the door. I eat and sleep all day long, it's just like being in prison. Just now they fed me a big bowl of chicken soup. You said my sister-in-law just gave birth to her nephew and drank chicken soup, but why should I drink chicken soup? I haven't even given birth yet, isn't this like raising pigs? Don't you think I'm fat enough?"
Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi laughed at the same time after hearing this. It is normal for parents to care about their children, and Li Xiaoyun and Zheng Li's due dates are close, so in order to take care of their daughter-in-law and daughter, the old couple discussed it and decided to come here first. It was okay for Zheng Li, but it was a bit difficult for Li Xiaoyun, who was usually impetuous.
"Be patient, everything will be fine after the baby is born. By the way, how do you feel now?" Song Yuanchao pulled over a chair and sat down, and Li Daqi sat on the other side.
"What else can I do? I'll just wait to give birth. My belly is so big and it won't come down. It's really troublesome. Brother Yuan Chao, do you think we should just have a Caesarean section? I'm going crazy if I keep waiting like this."
"What nonsense!" Li Daqi glared at his sister. "Why do you need to use a knife for no reason? Besides, there are only a few days left. Just stay here quietly and bear it."
"Hmph! You are not me, you don't have to worry about talking without any back pain..." Li Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at her brother in dissatisfaction, and then asked why Song Yuanchao came here suddenly. Song Yuanchao said that he happened to be in Pengcheng yesterday, and after receiving a call from Uncle Li, he made some arrangements and came directly here. Anyway, he had originally planned to come to Hong Kong, but came here earlier because Zheng Li gave birth a few days in advance.
When asked about Song Yuanchao's affairs in Pengcheng, Song Yuanchao talked about the situation of the pager. Anyway, the Li brothers and sisters were not outsiders, and Shenghua Electronics was a subsidiary of Shenghua Telecom which was headed by Li Daqi, so this matter should have been discussed with him.
Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi were chatting about pagers. By the way, Song Yuanchao told him about his ideas about communication chips and the markets in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and the Taiwan Strait, as well as his future plans for the mainland market. Li Xiaoyun listened with great interest.
After listening to Song Yuanchao's story, Li Daqi thought for a moment and said, "Starting from the peripheral market is an opportunity, and you just explained that there is no problem with the technology, but it may be difficult to enter the market. Hong Kong is fine, but we must find a suitable partner in other regions. The most important thing is the paging operating company, which is a big problem. If we cooperate with existing pager brands, it will also involve competition in equipment, so we have to be cautious about this."
"You are right. I have thought of that, too . So we have to make contact first before making a decision. It is just a concept now. The specific plan needs to be improved. There are also many uncertain factors. We have to take it one step at a time."
Li Daqi nodded: "That's true, but we are not familiar with the Japanese, Korean and Taiwan markets. I can't be responsible for this work. We need to find someone who is familiar with the local market and has certain expertise and capabilities. This person is more important."
Li Daqi's words hit the nail on the head. Song Yuanchao agreed, but the matter has not been finalized yet, so there is no rush. They can first see if there are any suitable people. In addition, the communication channels in these regions and countries must be understood first before proceeding.
"Yuan Chao, do you really think this thing has a future in our country?" Li Daqi suddenly asked this question.
Song Yuanchao asked with a smile: "Why? Do you think the pager market is not optimistic? Or do you think this market has no potential?"
"That's not the case." Li Daqi shook his head and said, "The pager market in Hong Kong is still good, but overseas is overseas and the mainland is the mainland. The mainland pager has been around since 1983, and it's been more than three years now, but how many people have you seen actually using this thing?"
"It's a good thing, but the problem is that it's too expensive! Nowadays, an ordinary machine is not cheap. Even if you buy the machine, there are still network fees and monthly rental fees. I am responsible for the cooperation between Shenghua Telecom and the mainland postal and telecommunications departments. I know the cost situation best, so..."
At this point, Li Daqi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
