[PS: Thank you for your reminder. Director Zhu and Zhu Qiushui's father should be cousins, not cousins. I should call her niece. The author made a mistake. I'm very sorry.]
"It seems that Xishui didn't tell you!" Director Zhu glanced at Jia Yapeng, who was in shock. He then pointed at the chair beside him and said, "Sit down!"
"Yes!" Jia Yapeng sat down obediently.
"What's your relationship with Xishui now? Answer me honestly!" Director Zhu said.
"We're boyfriend and girlfriend now!" Jia Yapeng answered honestly. "Oh right, she's my secretary."
"Is she here?" Director Zhu asked again.
"No, she stayed in Yuzhang City. I came here alone!" Jia Yapeng said.
"Boy, tell me as a man. Are you serious about Xishui or are you just playing around?" Director Zhu asked without raising his head.
"With such a great master like you in front of me, do I dare to say that I am just fooling around?" Boss Jia complained in his heart. After that, he said solemnly, "I want to marry her."
"…" Director Zhu was silent for a while.
"Does her father know about this?"
"Do you mean Xishui's father?" Jia Yapeng glanced at Director Zhu and shook his head. "I don't know. I've never seen her father. Xishui has never mentioned him in front of me. I don't dare to ask. I feel that there's a gap between them!"
"It seems that she hasn't forgiven him!" Director Zhu sighed and said, "Forget it. This is their family matter. As her cousin, I can't interfere. But Xishui has suffered a lot when she was young. You must treat her well. Otherwise, when her father comes back, he won't let you go!"
"Well, can I ask one more question? What's wrong with my father-in-law?" Jia Yapeng asked carefully.
"I can't say much. I'm afraid that he doesn't know about you yet. So, you'd better be careful!" Director Zhu's tone was very calm, but it made Boss Jia's hair stand on end.
Who exactly was Qiushui's father?
"Well, I won't interfere in the matter of Xi Shui. This is between the two of you. Let's talk about your problem this time!" Director Zhu looked at the people in the yard and said, "Let's leave. From tomorrow onwards, I don't want so many people here!"
"Alright!" Boss Jia nodded vigorously. In fact, Boss Jia had already felt that the situation was not good. He had wanted to retreat for a long time. Now, the inevitable had finally arrived.
"What about those who have already been recruited? Do you want me to give up the contract and return it to them? "Jia Yapeng asked cautiously.
"Go back? If you send them back, how are they going to live? " Director Zhu glared at Jia Yapeng and said, "Although some units are still unwilling to let them go, if you really let them go, how can they show their faces in the units in the future? Do you want to ruin their lives? "
"Yes! Yes! " Boss Jia nodded repeatedly. If these people were really let go, they would definitely be tortured by the leaders of the units. They might really be done for.
"This is the end of this matter. I'll talk to their units for you and appease them so that they can let them go normally!" Director Zhu said.
"Thank you, Director Zhu … Director Zhu!" Jia Yapeng was overjoyed and said.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm just helping you out because of the letter you wrote with Academician Ni!" Director Zhu sighed, "Actually, this is also our fault. Our researchers are living a hard life."
"They are all good men who are dedicated to the country. If it weren't for the fact that their lives are too hard, they wouldn't have left. This is all our fault!"
Jia Yapeng raised his head and said sincerely, "Director, you're wrong. This is not your fault. You've already done a good job. The speed of the country's development has exceeded everyone's imagination. The future will be better. All the difficulties are only temporary. Everything will be better!"
"You really know how to talk!" Director Zhu finally smiled and said, "I can help you deal with those units, but you should at least do something!"
"I'll donate ten million yuan in research funds to those units!" Jia Yapeng said immediately.
"Really, no one forced you!" Director Zhu said faintly.
"No, I volunteered. I volunteered!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
"Okay then!" Director Zhu nodded, "How about this? You can discuss with Academician Ni and see if there are any gaps in the talents you want. Let me know and I'll find a way to arrange for them!"
"Really!" Jia Yapeng's eyes lit up instantly. In the computer industry, many professionals were protected by the country. Boss Jia could not find any of them. He could only choose some students and train them himself, but the speed would undoubtedly be much slower.
"I'm just helping you to arrange. I'm not sure if I can do it!" Director Zhu stood up and looked at the room where Ni Guangnan was. He sighed and said, "Tell Academician Ni that his application to withdraw from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been rejected by me. Tell him that as long as he's still in Hua Xia, he'll be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the rest of his life. He can't run away! "
"Yes, Director!" Jia Yapeng suddenly felt a little sour in his nose. He thought of the great feat of this director carrying a coffin and couldn't help but cry.
Director Zhu soon disappeared into the crowd. Boss Jia wiped his tears and asked everyone to stop the registration. He then apologized to all the researchers who were waiting in line one by one and compensated them 100 yuan for their travel expenses. He told them that the recruitment was full and that they would not be recruiting anyone else.
The researchers who were waiting in line could only shake their heads helplessly and disperse. Someone posted a notice on the door to stop the recruitment. The storm gradually came to an end.
— — —
"Director Zhu, did he really say that?" After the recruitment, Ni Guangnan heard Jia Yapeng retelling the conversation when they met before. Ni Guangnan also told him that Ni Guangnan would be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the rest of his life. Even Ni Guangnan's eyes were a little wet.
"Good! Good! I didn't waste my life on this land! " Ni Guangnan covered his face. Boss Jia also tactfully left the room. Then, there was a burst of uncontrollable crying from inside.
After more than ten minutes, Ni Guangnan's voice came from inside. "Come in, I'm fine."
When he saw Ni Guangnan again, Ni Guangnan's eyes were red.
"You brat, if you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I'll break your legs!" Ni Guangnan threatened him fiercely.
"Teacher, don't worry. I won't tell anyone, even if you beat me to death!" Jia Yapeng quickly said.
"Hmph!" Ni Guangnan snorted and said, "Let's go back to Yuzhang tomorrow. We've recruited almost 700 people one after another. I'm afraid we'll have to change our original plan and expand the size of the laboratory!"
"Ah!" Jia Yapeng's mouth was wide open.
"What are you talking about?" Ni Guangnan looked at his disciple in annoyance. "Our experiment was originally planned for the first phase, and there were only about 50 researchers. However, now that we have obtained more than 700 treasures, the laboratory can no longer hold them all. Shouldn't we expand it?"
"Okay!" Jia Yapeng nodded helplessly.
"Also, we've met a lot of unexpected talents this time. I think it's not only about the chip, but also about batteries, semiconductor materials, screens, data integration, and so on. The mobile phone you want will probably be ready about a year in advance. If everything goes well, I'll be able to produce a 90% domestic mobile phone by this time next year!" Ni Guangnan said proudly.
However, Jia Yapeng did not look happy at all. Instead, he asked with a sad face, "Teacher, don't tell me how much it'll cost to expand this business?"
"Not much, about three hundred million!" Ni Guangnan said faintly.
"What? 300 million?! " Jia Yapeng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. In his original plan, he would spend at most 20 million USD in the first half of 1993 and 50 million USD in the whole year. How did he spend 300 million USD in the blink of an eye?
Oh right, this did not include the researchers. There were more than 700 people, and each of them had an average salary of 8000 RMB. That was 5.6 million RMB a month, and almost 70 million RMB a year. Did Ni Guangnan really think that he was running a bank?
"How about this, I'll give you a present!" Ni Guangnan smiled and placed a circular object in front of Jia Yapeng.
"This is … a CD!" Jia Yapeng looked at the CD that Ni Guangnan took out, and his eyes lit up.
"Last year, the MPEG organization announced their first video compression algorithm. Then, it was set as the international standard for CD-ROMs. It can store video files on CD-ROMs." Ni Guangnan said.
"I think this is very promising, and it's easy to produce. So, if you need it, I can help you create a machine that can read CD-ROMs with this video format in three months. It can be connected to a TV and play the video directly!"
"But this seems to be no different from a VCR. So, I don't know if this thing can make money. You can decide for yourself!" Ni Guangnan said.
My dear Teacher Ni, isn't this a VCD player?
