"What a coincidence, Manager Yang!" Director Jia sighed when he saw Ni Guangnan leave without looking back. Then, he turned to Yang Yuanqing and said calmly.
In fact, President Jia had already expected this result. Before he left, he felt that the possibility of persuading Ni Guangnan was not high. After all, Professor Ni Guangnan was a very kind person. Although he was extremely disappointed with Lenovo, he did not kick them when they were down. Jia Yapeng's hope of poaching people was not realistic.
Of course, if Yang Yuanqing had not suddenly jumped out and disrupted Jia Yapeng's rhythm, giving Jia Yapeng time to analyze his own grand blueprint and Lenovo's future situation to Professor Ni Guangnan, then Jia Yapeng still had a chance to persuade him.
Unfortunately, Yang Yuanqing came at the right time.
However, this was only for now. It was estimated that in at most half a year, Lenovo's internal conflict would erupt. At that time, it would be impossible for Academician Ni not to follow Jia Yapeng.
Time would prove everything.
"Not at all, President Jia, I didn't notice your arrival. It's my fault. I should apologize to you, President Jia!" President Jia heard Yang Yuanqing say with a smile.
"Okay!" Jia Yapeng nodded, then suddenly said, "President Yang, I have a question. I don't know if you are willing to answer me honestly!"
"That depends on what President Jia is asking!"
"It's very simple. What do you think is the most important thing for a company, especially a computer company?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.
"Then I'll show off in front of an expert!" Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "For a high-tech industry like computers, naturally, trade, craftsmanship, and technology are the most important three things!"
"Oh!" Jia Yapeng nodded and asked, "Then if you were to choose the most important and the second most important from these three and rank them, how would you rank them?"
"This …" Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while and then said, "I personally think that in the current situation, trade is the most important, followed by manufacturing craftsmanship, and then technology!"
"Oh!" Jia Yapeng smirked. "Why trade? Shouldn't technology take precedence in a high-tech industry like computing? "
"If Lenovo is a company from the United States, then technology should indeed be the priority. Unfortunately, Lenovo was born in Hua Xia, so we can only give priority to trade! " Yang Yuanqing sighed and said, "The difference in computing technology between Hua Xia and the United States is too huge. This is not something that can be made up in a short period of time. It will take at least a few decades or even a hundred years to catch up. Therefore, for now, trade is the most important. After all, if any company in Hua Xia is unable to buy various electronic components from foreign countries, then the company will not be able to survive. "
"Oh! That makes sense! " Jia Yapeng nodded. "But if that's the case, technology should be ranked second. Why put it last?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.
"Mr. Jia is a wise man. Do you still need me to answer this question?" Yang Yuanqing laughed.
"Tell me about it. I want to see if the two of us think alike!" Jia Yapeng said.
"It's very simple. It's because technology, especially computer technology and core technology like chips, is a bottomless pit. Any high-tech company in the United States has to invest hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in such technology every year in exchange for continuous technological progress!"
"Our Hua Xia is poor now. We don't even have decent technical talents. If we want to catch up, then we have to spend more, even billions of dollars. This is just a possibility!"
"Not to mention the countless patent traps."
"If that's the case, then why spend so much money to research technology yourself? Isn't it better to buy the developed products or technology authorization directly from foreign countries? It's better to buy than to build. Instead of spending a lot of money to research and develop, it's better to buy it directly. Mr. Jia, you're such an outstanding businessman. You must have understood these principles long ago. Why do you need me to explain it? "Yang Yuanqing laughed.
"But it's expensive to buy it directly. The cost is only a few dollars, but it costs tens of dollars to sell it to us. What should we do?" Jia Yapeng asked.
"Then wait for us to assemble the product and sell it for a few hundred dollars!" Yang Yuanqing laughed. "That's why trade is the most important. As long as we can sell it, no matter how much the cost is, we can always earn it back. Anyway, in the end, the consumers will pay for it. Our profits won't be small. That's enough!"
"Well said!" Jia Yapeng patted Yang Yuanqing's shoulder and laughed. "There's no need to eat. I have an appointment with a friend. Let's meet again in the future!"
After that, Jia Yapeng walked out of Lenovo at a leisurely pace.
"This country bumpkin, why did he ask me so many questions?" Yang Yuanqing looked at Jia Yapeng's back as he walked away. He pondered in his heart, then clapped his fist and said in shock, "This guy, don't tell me he likes my talent and wants to poach me too!"
"Then he's really wishful thinking. But if he's willing to give up the position of Daqian chairman, I can consider it …" Yang Yuanqing calculated his own little scheme and laughed, then returned to his office.
He was still very loyal to Lenovo.

"Lao San, what's wrong with you? Did someone cook you?" After half a year, seeing Jia Yapeng again, Xiao Qi found that this guy's expression seemed to be a little bad.
"I saw our teacher and was scolded by him!" Jia Yapeng smiled bitterly.
"Who? Director Zhang of your Physics Department? "Xiao Qi asked.
"No, it's the former Teacher Ni. He taught us before!" Jia Yapeng replied.
"I don't know him!" Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Director Zhang has asked me many times about you. He said that you have taken a leave of absence for two years. It's time for you to come back to class. Otherwise, your school record will be ruined!"
"Class!" Jia Yapeng's wrist shook, then he said awkwardly, "Do you think I have the time to come back to school to attend classes like this?"
"Just drop out. It's not good for you to take a leave of absence all the time!" Xiao Qi laughed.
"Tsk tsk, I remember when I decided to take a leave of absence two years ago, you held my hand and advised me not to do such a stupid thing. Why are you not firm now?" Jia Yapeng laughed.
"Nonsense, if I had a company worth three hundred million waiting for me to go back and inherit it, I would also drop out!" Xiao Qi laughed, "The atmosphere in the school now is a little different from before. There are fewer people talking about knowledge and more people talking about money. Now, who would say no to money?"
"That's true!" Jia Yapeng nodded, and the corners of his mouth could not help but be a little bitter. It seemed that, just like history, the trend of Hua Xia worshipping money would gradually surge and eventually become the theme of the whole society. It was a little sad.
However, Mr. Jia was not qualified to be sad for others. After all, he was the best example of money worshipping. Someone had already prepared the nicknames of Hua Xia and Bill Gates for him.
"Okay, I will go to the school tomorrow to go through the withdrawal procedures to save the school's resources!" Two years ago, Jia Yapeng still had some hesitation about the diploma from Tsinghua University. Now, Mr. Jia did not have any nostalgia. Simply put, Mr. Jia was now a person who no longer needed a diploma to prove himself.
"By the way, I will report to you the performance of our company in the past six months!" Xiao Qi pulled out a prepared document from the drawer of his desk and introduced it, "After six months of operation, the company now has 477 houses left in the Asian Games Village in exchange for a total of 15,220 square meters, a total of 132 complete houses, and 43 partial siheyuan houses."
"During this period, the company collected a total of 420,000 yuan in rent from the tenants. However, this rent has basically been used to subsidize the price difference of the siheyuan. After deducting the workers' wages, Baidu's account book only has about 10,000 yuan left!" Xiao Qi reported simply to Mr. Jia.
"Not bad!" Jia Yapeng nodded with satisfaction. He did not expect himself to be a person who owned 132 siheyuan houses. According to the average price of a siheyuan house in 2020, it was close to 20 billion yuan in real estate. Xiao Qi had done a great job!
"Not bad!" Mr. Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I will transfer 300 million to you later!"
"Okay!" Xiao Qi nodded and took a sip of tea. As a result, he spat out half of the tea. "What did you say? What did you transfer to me? "
"300 million!" Jia Yapeng smiled, "Didn't the property prices in the Imperial Capital plummet recently? Then we have to hurry up. These few days, accompany me to the real estate market in the Imperial Capital. See if there are any good projects, and buy the whole building for me! "
"You are awesome …" Xiao Qi was stunned. Are houses sold by the block now?
